Balls Mahoney
Jonathan Rechner (April 11, 1972 – April 12, 2016), better known by his ring name Balls Mahoney, was an American professional wrestler best known for his appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Rechner was born in Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey and graduated from Manasquan High School in 1991, where he competed on the school's wrestling team.
After training at Larry Sharpe's Monster Factory, Rechner debuted at the age of 15 in 1987. He wrestled under the Middle Eastern gimmick of "Abbudah Singh" on the New Jersey independent circuit and threw fireballs at his opponents, on one occasion accidentally scorching Abdullah the Butcher when he spat fire onto his chest.
He made a name for himself as Boo Bradley Jr. (a take-off of the character Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird) in Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW). He was originally allied with Chris Candido and managed by Tammy Sytch, who abused him for months, but they eventually turned on him, killing his pet cat and turning him into a fan favorite in the process. He formed a friendship with Cactus Jack during this time. After his battles with Candido, he moved on to a feud with Killer Kyle of the Gangstas. During his time in SMW Bradley won the SMW Beat the Champ Television Championship twice.
From September 1992 to July 1993, he appeared under his real name in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as a jobber, losing to the likes of Papa Shango, Marty Jannetty and Virgil on Superstars and Wrestling Challenge.
At the In Your House 5: Seasons Beatings pay-per-view on December 17, 1995, while Savio Vega and "Santa Claus" were at ringside handing out presents and playing to the fans, villainous manager "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase appeared and proclaimed that everyone had a price, even Santa. As Vega argued with DiBiase, Rechner, as "Santa", jumped him from behind and attacked him. DiBiase laughed his trademark laugh and introduced this warped Santa as Xanta Klaus, who was from the South Pole and stole presents. Rechner made two more appearances under this character, including on the following night's edition of Monday Night Raw before never being mentioned again.
After WWF, Rechner wrestled as Boo Bradley for Mid Eastern Wrestling Federation where he became the MEWF Mid-Atlantic Champion.
In 1996, Rechner signed with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and debuted at Holiday Hell on December 7 as "Balls Mahoney", defeating Devon Storm. His original gimmick was that of a gay biker who humped his opponents. In early 1997, he went on a losing streak against opponents like Mike Awesome at House Party on January 11, Lance Storm on February 1 at Crossing the Line Again, Stevie Richards on February 22 at CyberSlam and The Sandman on March 15 at Hostile City Showdown. On July 6, at Wrestlepalooza, Mahoney and Sandman were defeated by The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von).
