Flashback: Johnny Prime (aka Lucky Cannon)

Here's a look back at Johnny Prime, an American wrestler I featured a few times from 2010 to 2015. Prime started his in ring with Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), WWE's developmental territory, in 2008. He then wrestled for NXT (basically a rebranding of FCW) from 2010 to 2011. After he was released by WWE in 2011, he wrestled in one match and then retired. You can read more about his wrestling career here. Now 38 years old, he works as a nurse practitioner in Florida.

Beefcake Beach

Summer is here. Wouldn't it be nice to cool down at the beach on a hot, sunny day? Lucky Cannon (formerly known as Johnny Prime) is doing just that in this pictorial from a couple of years ago. I hope he's using sunblock.

Five Years Ago This Month (Part 1)

(Note: Beefcakes of Wrestling was created in 2010. To mark its 5th Anniversary, I'll be doing a retrospective of my favorite images from each month.) Although I started this blog in February 2010, it wasn't until May that I started to discover some lesser known ring talent like the five beefcakes who are the subject of this post. I remember being very excited about sharing them with the couple of dozen or so followers of this blog back then. Some of these wrestlers have since retired and moved on to other things, but a couple of them are still active in the ring. Here they are in no particular order. First up, Jon Cutler.

Here's Johnny Prime who later became Lucky Cannon when he signed up with WWE's Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).

 

Now here's Jaxon Dane.

Here's Lupe Santiago.

And last but not least, British wrestler Brandon T (aka NXT's Keith Cameron). You can still see Brandon in action on TNT Impact where he wrestles as the long-haired and bearded heel Bram.
