Long thought to be dead, Homeless John was right
where the G.W.A. left him nearly 4 years ago, when the reunion show was
announced there was a bit of concern on how to contact John, seeing he
was homeless and therefore had no mailing address. But, lo and behold,
when the warehouse doors opened to get the old equipment out there was
John talking to a stuffed monkey he calls Lyndon B. Johnson. After
buying him a meal and offering him a shower (which he declined) it
was back to business as usual. John slept in the trucks and hung out
backstage eating beans out of cans and keeping warm from trash fires.
Our Homeless Hero forges on.
John was the son of the Millionaire Johnathan
Doe, who made his fortune by selling his name to the Goverment for use
when a body couldn't be Identified. John Jr. as he's known in some
circles inherited the fortune in 1969 at the height of his drug
addiction, where he wasted al lthe money on women, alcohol, drugs of
every kind and gave the rest to P.E.T.A. and lived on the streets ever
since. People have long since tried to buy into the Homeless Wrestler
phenomenon with the release of Bum Fights, but there is only one
Original Homless John.
