MY BANDS (Past bands I played and recorded with)

Updated news: Returning to the ring in the USA was a good decision I would believe. Having many successful matches against opponents in Colombia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Ukraine, Denmark, and Italy kept me in shape for the past 4 years. Time to return to the us and see what new challanges are available.

Welcome to "The Paisano" John Balsamo's Website, the place where you can find out everything about your favorite Italian. Much stronger than that weak pathetic Terry Balsamo (evanescence garbage band who wishes they were Lacuna Coil but lack the talent). 1990 Balsamo acheived a dream of beating the top seed in the High School New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Wrestling Tournament in front of over 6,200 people. Unfortunately he did not know about prowrestling schools until years later. Balsamo completed his pro wrestling training at the Wild Samoan training center in Hazleton, PA in 1998. Former WWF tag team champion Afa was a great trainer and an inspirational mentor. While training at the school, a graduate named Fast Eddie Valentine spent many hours of his own time training Balsamo in the ring before the practices began. Wrestling at WXW Balsamo met John Rambo of the NWL. Balsamo drove over 3 hours in each direction on Tuesday nights to take advantage of the Tuesday night matches at the HoPWF school. John Rambo has been a very positive inspiration in Balsamo's wrestling career since this time. Over the past few years John has captured the PCW Commonwealth Belt on two occasions, the NWL Cruiserweight belt on three occasions, and the WXW Cruiserweight belt on one occasion, The MWF Cruiserweight title, the NWF Tag team title as Fumar Dos, and the University Park title as Fumar Dos, and the CPW tag team championship belt with Gino Sarentino. Wrestling leagues past and present that he wrestled for are PCW in Reading, PA/ NVW at Penn State University / MWF in Toledo, Ohio/ CCW in Harrisburg, Pa / NWF at Penn State University/ WWWA in Emmaus, Pa / CPW in West Virginia / WSWF in Harrisburg, PA / ECPW in Lake Hiawatha, NJ / LWF in Lebanon, Pa / MDW in West Virginia / NWL & HoPWF in Hagerstown, MD/ CPW in West Virginia/ and WXW in Allentown and Hazleton, PA. When he's not wrestling, he spends most of his time treating his paisanettes to dinner at Da Nico's on 164 Mulberry Street (212) 343-1212 for the "The Best Coal Brick Oven Pizza" or an unforgetable meal at Puglia Ristorante on 189 Hester Street (212) 966-6006 (Both in Little Italy, NY). If you go, don't forget to tell them the Paisano sent ya. They would love to hear from you. If your lucky you just might get a Paisano sighting outside the ring at one of these fine restaurants. "A sculpture is not something organically made by nature. I want to convey some form of life and feeling so when you look at the sculpture, it is not going to be stagnant, it’s going to speak to you, to make a move towards you. I am always searching for perfection within a subject. Sometimes, I think that I am searching for my own identity. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of happiness and fulfillment. I am competing with nature and duplicating what it has created." Ahhh the life of an artist...
