8 Wrestling Society X Wrestlers Who Went On To Bigger Things
5. Joey Ryan
Almost a decade before "the dick spot" in DDT would make him internet famous (and Jim Cornette-rage-inducing infamous), Joey Ryan was a member of the WSX roster as one-half of That '70s Team with The Disco Machine, scoring several victories in the tag division.
After his time warp period in WSX, Ryan contributed to the early success of PWG as a member of The Dynasty faction. Stints in TNA, Chikara, ROH, and elsewhere would follow, including a surprisingly well-executed turn as Chase Walker in The Wrestling Retribution Project, a gay wrestler who came out to the audience in a heartfelt promo. (A moment of depth that Ryan gets very little credit for.)
And, of course, Ryan would go viral in 2015 after a match in DDT where he overpowered Danshoku Dino with his junk. "The dick spot," as it became known, was incorporated into Ryan's gimmick, and the spot would get more ridiculous and elaborate with time.
Odd that the network that aired Jackass wouldn't have taken greater advantage of someone with Ryan's bombast and creativity.
