Jonathan (Jono) East (born October 10, 1984) is a New Zealand professional wrestler, currently contracted for Kiwi Pro Wrestling. He is known better by his ring name, Jonnie Juice.

Career

New Zealand Wide Pro Wrestling

Juice was one of the first trainees of Martin Stirling prior to the creation of WPW (formerly Wellington Pro Wrestling, now known as New Zealand Wide Pro Wrestling) and is credited with being one of the "originals" of the current Wellington wrestling scene, and a founding father of NZWPW.

He had many matches with and against fellow beginning trainees - such as "The Fiery One" Inferno, Creed, The Ram, D Hoya and X-Rated. He was part of a clique of babyfaces known as "The Youngbloods", consisting of himself, Inferno and D Hoya.

In January of 2005, Juice went from being a popular face and turned heel, turning on his "best friend" (both in storyline and IRL) Inferno.

On November 4, 2005 at NZWPW's final show of the year, "Eruption II", Juice captured the NZWPW New Zealand Heavyweight Championship. He defeated then champion, Island Boy Si, and H-Flame is a triple threat match. Juice lost the title five months later to D Hoya at Powerplay 3 before leaving the company in May of 2006.

Kiwi Pro Wrestling

In June 2005, several wrestlers from NZWPW left to form another wrestling promotion in Wellington, Kiwi Pro Wrestling - this group included Juice. With the company switch came a character transformation and name change.

Jonnie Juice adopted a suave persona, he became known for wearing a black shirt with a white tie, and was accompanied to the ring by Jessie and Hollie, clad in the same garb - collectively known as Team Pretty. [http://www.kiwiprowrestling.co.nz/Juice-Team-Pre.495.0.html]

In KPW's first show Storm Warning he was invovled in the Heavyweight tournament to name the first contender to the KPW Heavyweight Title. He won against Buck in the first round via count out, and went on to lose to H-Flame in round two. At KPW's second show, "Ring Rampage", he won a Battle Royal to become the second contender for the KPW Heavyweight title. Jonnie Juice and H-Flame fought for the right to be the first champion at KPW's third show, "Eruption". Jonnie was bested by H-Flame, and the two went on the have many matches over the following year. [http://www.nzpwi.co.nz/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2473&Itemid=1]

Since, he has been involved in many different capacities - he suffered an injury that kept him out of in-ring action for 10 months [http://www.nzpwi.co.nz/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3649&Itemid=36] , but came back full strength and is again an active member of the roster. More recently, the third memeber of Team Pretty lost a Loser Leaves Town Diva Strap Match due to interference from Jonnie Juice, thus leaving Team Pretty as the duo of Hollie and himself.
