Professional wrestling career

Canadian independent promotions

Danyluk made his professional debut on November 4, 2001, at a Canadian Championship Wrestling (CCW) event, using the name J.D. Michaels and losing to Adrian Walls.[1] He competed regularly throughout late 2001 and early 2002, and won the CCW Heavyweight Championship on February 23, 2002, defeating Vanilla Bryce.[1] He held the title until April 14, 2002, when he relinquished it to Dave Swift.[1] On July 13, 2002, he debuted for First Nation Wrestling Alliance, defeating Adrian Walls, and in October of that year, he appeared for Monster Pro Wrestling, defeating Steve Rivers.[1] Throughout October and November 2002, he toured with the Can Am Wrestling Alliance, wrestling opponents including Massive Damage, Steve Rivers, and Vinnie Fever.[1]

In February 2003, Danyluk was involved in a car accident that sidelined him for four months.[1] He returned to Monster Pro Wrestling in May 2003, serving as the special referee for a match between Sean Houston and Kenny Omega, and made his in-ring return a month later, defeating Omega, Houston, and Chris Raine in a four-way match.[1] Throughout 2004 and 2005, in addition to training at The Storm Wrestling Academy, Michaels wrestled for numerous Canadian promotions, including Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, Real Canadian Wrestling, the Prairie Wrestling Association, Premier Championship Wrestling, and Action Wrestling Entertainment.[1]

He later returned to Canada in 2007, wrestling for Pro Wrestling Xtreme.[3]

American promotions

In mid-2006, Michaels began wrestling for Maryland Championship Wrestling, and unsuccessfully challenged Ruckus for the MCW Cruiserweight Championship.[4] Also in 2006, J.D. competed for TNT Pro Wrestling, run by Ward Family Promotions. On September 26, J.D. defeated J-Synn and Bobby Houston to win the TNT Championship. Throughout 2007, he continued to compete for American independent promotions, including NWA Upstate and UWF Live.[5][6]

In 2008, Michaels wrestled for the West Coast Wrestling Connection, and on February 17, 2008, he defeated Moose Morrow to win the WCWC Championship.[1] Following a three-way match on March 16 between Michaels, Moose, and Gentleman George that ended in a triple pin, the championship was held up.[1] On April 5, Michaels lost to Rory Fox at the annual Brian Pillman Memorial Show.[1] Michaels made his Ohio Championship Wrestling (OCW) debut on November 3, 2007, defeating Damien Adams to become the number one contender to the OCW Heavyweight Championship.[1] He went on to defeat Sean Casey to win the championship on December 8. In January 2008, J.D. lost to Mason Raige by countout.[7] Their feud continued for several months until May 3, when Raige defeated J.D. in a steel cage match to win the OCW Title.[8]

J.D. Maverick debuted in Florida Underground Wrestling in 2011, engaging in a feud with Wes Brisco. Dakota Darsow teamed with Wes Brisco, calling themselves "2nd Coming," while Kennedy Kendrick teamed with Maverick. The two teams were largely inactive until late 2011, when they engaged in a feud, exchanging wins in both tag team and singles competition. The feud culminated on March 6, 2012, with Kendrick and Maverick defeating Darsow and Brisco in a no-holds-barred street fight, with the winner earning a title shot at the FUW Tag Team Champions. Kendrick and Maverick captured the FUW Tag Team Championships in April 2011, defeating the James Boys. They held the titles for several months before losing them back to the James Boys. Maverick later defeated Wes Brisco for the Cuban Championship in August 2012.

On August 4, 2012, in Orlando, Florida, Danyluk and Wes Brisco defeated Donny and Johnny Fuggedaboudit to win the CWF Tag Team Championship at CWF SuperClash.[9]

In addition to Florida Underground Wrestling and the Continental Wrestling Federation (CWF), Danyluk also competes in Ring Warriors in Florida.

Ohio Valley Wrestling (2007–2009)

Danyluk made his Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) debut on December 15, 2007, losing to Eric Doom.[1] He made his first television appearance for OVW at the tapings on January 9, 2008, losing to Justin LaRouche.[10] For several months, he was primarily used as enhancement talent, losing to more established wrestlers, including Shawn Spears, Johnny Jeter, and Kevin Thorn.[11][12][13] He earned his first win in OVW on February 23 at the television tapings, defeating Lupe Viscara in a dark match.[14] On March 19, Michaels challenged Nick Dinsmore for the OVW Heavyweight Championship, but was unsuccessful.[15] In June, Michaels captured the OVW Television Championship.[16] He renamed the TV show "JD-TV" and referred to his new title as "The World's Television Title," claiming to be the only TV Champion in all of wrestling. In late 2008, after a feud with Rudy Switchblade, Michaels lost the TV title when it was vacated due to a dusty finish in a match between him and Switchblade.[16] He subsequently suffered a broken ankle. During his recovery, he formed an alliance with Al Barone.[17][18]

In January 2009, Danyluk changed his ring name to "J.D. Maverick" and formed a team known as Top Shelf Talent with Pat Buck. In their first match as a team, they defeated Tony Mann and Hog Wild.[19] They continued to wrestle teams, including Knuckles and Knives, Tilo, and Shiloh, for the next few months.[20][21] On April 22, Top Shelf Talent defeated Fang and Igotta Brewski and Totally Awesome in a three-way match to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.[22][23] The team held the championship for 49 days before losing it to Totally Awesome on June 10, 2009.[23]

WWE (2005, 2006, 2010)

On June 4, 2005, Michaels appeared on WWE Velocity, teaming with Teddy Hart in a loss to the Basham Brothers.[24] In 2006, Danyluk relocated to Wallingford, Connecticut with hopes of gaining recognition from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[1] He made another WWE appearance in June 2007 at a SmackDown taping, losing to Chris Masters in a dark match, and a third in July 2010, losing to Alberto Del Rio prior to SmackDown.[1][25]
