Standing 6’3″ and weighing in at 233 pounds of pure Quebec power, Johnny “Genesis” North has been delivering what he lovingly calls “high-quality violence” to wrestling rings across North America for over two decades. But don’t let his intimidating presence fool you—when he’s not choke-slamming opponents or perfecting his signature STO, Johnny brings that same intensity and insider knowledge to the microphone as co-host of Wrestling Uncensored on Ringside Report Network.
Born and raised in Quebec, Johnny cut his teeth on the independent circuit in the early 2000s, learning the ropes at Montreal’s legendary Torture Chamber Pro Wrestling Dojo under veteran Dru Onyx. What started as local Quebec shows quickly evolved into a championship-caliber career that would see him capture gold across multiple promotions, including the prestigious NWA British Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship—a six-month reign that put him on the map as one of Canada’s premier independent talents.
Whether he’s been “Genesis,” “Le Comptable,” or “El Contador” (because apparently accountants are scary in multiple languages), Johnny has mastered the art of being the villain fans love to hate. His championship résumé includes the MWF National Championship, multiple regional tag team titles as part of “Chaos Theory” with Jeremy Prophet (former co-host of Wrestling Uncensored), and most recently the Project X Wrestling Northern Heritage Championship, proving that two decades in the business hasn’t slowed him down one bit.
But Johnny’s impact extends far beyond the squared circle. As co-host of Wrestling Uncensored alongside Dave Simon, he brings the rare perspective of an active competitor who can break down matches, storylines, and backstage politics with the credibility that only comes from actually living it. His weekly analysis of WWE, AEW, and the broader wrestling landscape offers fans insights that few analysts can match—after all, he’s been on the receiving end of those moves he’s breaking down.
When he’s not busy being a “champion of the squared circle” or delivering his trademark commentary, Johnny has ventured into acting, starring as the villain in the cult indie film “Operation Luchador”—because playing the bad guy on screen apparently comes as naturally as it does in the ring.
From memorable feuds with powerhouses like Björg Haaken to sharing the ring with WWE legends like Gangrel, Johnny continues to prove that independent wrestling is where the real stories are told. His dedication to the craft, combined with his media savvy and genuine passion for the business, makes him an invaluable voice in The Combat Sports Authority family.
Whether he’s delivering a devastating chokeslam or breaking down the latest pay-per-view, Johnny “Genesis” North represents everything that makes professional wrestling special—authentic passion, hard-earned expertise, and just the right amount of controlled chaos.
