Neil Johnson is a very accomplished wrestler. In 1998, Johnson became the 
NCAA Amateur Wrestling Champion, then two years later at the Sydney Olympics
he followed in the footsteps of Kurt Angle by winning the Gold Medal in the
freestyle wrestling. Johnson was soon being tracked by every wrestling
federation in the country, and had meetings with Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman
and Eric Bischoff. However, it was his meeting with Dan Roberts that impressed
him most, and he happily signed with the fledgling GWF, and was instrumental
in the media coverage it's launch received.

Johnson's amateur background shines through in his in-ring offense. Many of
his moves could be seen at the Olympics themselves. He likes to finish his
opponents with a move he calls the Atlanta Deathlock (a version of the STF
made famous by Steven Regal), but other match-winning moves in his repertoire
include a German Suplex, a Northern Lights Suplex, a bridging back suplex and
a rolling reverse cradle.

Johnson also teams with "Captain America" Shane Stevens, forming The Patriots.
A hugely popular team, they play to the fans and like to beat their opponents
with a Stacked Up Superplex.

Johnson became the first ever GWF North American Champion on 26th February 2001
by winning a 10 Man Total Elimination Match, cementing his growing reputation in 
the fed.
