Jon Bolen

World Wrestling Entertainment

Ohio Valley Wrestling Appearing on the undercard of the final episode of WWE Velocity, he and Sterling James Keenan had a WWE tryout match losing to Kid Kash and Jamie Noble. Bolen eventually signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in July 2006 and assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling, a WWE developmental territory based in Louisville, Kentucky. On July 27, Bolen made his OVW debut losing to Elijah Burke at a house show. Two days later at an event at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, he teamed with Aaron Stevens, Rod Steel and Eddie Craven in an 8-man tag team match losing to Chet the Jet, Brent Albright, Cody Runnels and Shawn Osborne. On August 11, he participated in a 15-man battle royal which included Shawn Osborne, Elijah Burke, Eddie Craven III, Pat Buck, Mike Kruel, Shad Gaspard, Lennox Lightfoot, Ranger Milton, Neighborhoodie, Johnny Punch, Seth Skyfire, Rod Steele, Jack Bull, Los Locos (Ramón and Raúl) and The Untouchables (Deuce Shade and Dice Domino).

In September, Bolen formed a tag team with Ryan Reeves called High Dosage. On January 10, 2007, High Dosage received their first and only opportunity at Southern Tag Team Championship, which they lost to defending champions Cody Runnels and Shawn Spears. The team ended soon afterwards when Reeves was released from his WWE developmental contract on January 19, 2007.

On January 20, Bolen teamed up with Katie Lea to defeat Domino and Cherry in a mixed tag team match in Hillview, Kentucky. He would again team with Katie Lea in a handicap mixed tag team match against Cherry and Deuce 'n Domino on January 24. The following night, he and Ariel defeated Idol Stevens and Beth Phoenix. Bolen would remain in OVW only a brief time before his final television appearance in the promotion teaming with T.J. Dalton against Charles "The Hammer" Evans and Justin "The Ox" LaRoche on January 31.

Deep South Wrestling and departure By mid-February, Bolen appeared in Deep South Wrestling, teaming with Shawn Osborne in a losing effort against Freakin' Deacon and G-Rilla on February 15. Defeating Heath Miller in a dark match several days later, Bolen continued to team with Osborne, although the two were less than successful. On March 16, he also lost to Kofi Kingston at a DSW event in Atlanta, Georgia. In his final appearance, he and Osborne defeated Robert Anthony and Johnny Curtis at the DSW Arena in McDonough, Georgia on April 5. Bolen was then released the following day.

Return to the independent circuit On June 9, 2007, Bolen won the NWA Upstate Kayfabe Dojo Championship after defeating Colin Olsen, Cloudy and then-champion JP Black. Beginning in 2008, the Kayfabe Dojo Title was retired without Bolen ever having lost it. During the summer, he made his return to the International Wrestling Cartel, making a surprise appearance at the supercard Super Indy VI interfering on behalf of former Heavyweight Champion Ricky Reyes, who was being attacked by Dennis Gregory and Brent Albright. Although scheduled to face Albright the following month at Summer Sizzler 4: Checkmate, Albright was unable to make the event due to "travel issues" and Bolen instead faced Chris Hero, who he defeated.

At the 2007 Ellsworth Basebrawl, Bolen was to team with former tag team partner Sterling James Keenan against War Machine (Brent Albright and Sebastian Dark). However, Keenan ended up defeating Albright in an Ellsworth Street Fight after Bolen was unable to make the event due to travel issues.

After being seen at many IWC events in the past several months, Bolen made his official return at the Promotional Consideration Paid for by the Following championship tournament as a color commentator.

In March 2009, Bolen was featured on all three shows of the inaugural tour of Scott D'Amore's new promotion Maximum Pro Wrestling in Ontario.

In late 2013, Bolen began wrestling under the name "Warchild" as a part of Krimson's 'Dead Wrestling Society' stable.

Global Force Wrestling (2015, 2017) Bolen debuted in the original Global Force Wrestling on July 10, 2015 during a GFW Grand Slam Tour event in Erie, Pennsylvania, teaming with Jamin Olivencia in a losing effort against Sonjay Dutt and Moose. The following night, Bolen defeated Olivencia in a singles match.

Following the merger of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (then called Impact Wrestling) with GFW, Bolen began appearing in GFW Impact! losing against the likes of Alberto El Patron, Ethan Carter III, Mahabali Shera and in tag team action against LAX and OvE.
