About Joey Ryan (wrestler)
Joseph Ryan Meehan (born November 7, 1979), is an American actor, writer, producer, former professional wrestler, and promoter. During his early years as a professional wrestler, he founded the Southern California promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) with five other wrestlers, where he held the PWG World and PWG World Tag Team Championships. He later appeared on the independent circuit, wrestling for promotions such as Ring of Honor, Wrestling Society X, Major League Wrestling and DDT Pro-Wrestling (where he held the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship 43 times). Ryan also wrestled for the TV series Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), becoming NWA World Tag Team Champion with Karl Anderson in the latter. In NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Ryan served as head booker, and he was the promoter of Bar Wrestling. He was known for using his penis as part of his moves, most notably, the YouPorn-Plex. During the Speaking Out movement in June 2020, multiple women publicly alleged sexual misconduct against Meehan and he was subsequently released from his TNA contract. Meehan has denied the allegations and filed lawsuits against some of the women for defamation and Impact Wrestling for not performing a contractually obligated investigation. After training at the Inoki Dojo, Ryan received his first television exposure from NJPW-USA Toukon Fighting Spirit.
