As a good-natured rib by fellow wrestlers, he was nicknamed "Johnny Laryngitis" (a play on his last name) for his distinctively raspy voice, in which they claim he sounds like he has a permanent case of laryngitis.
Johnny Ace teamed with Shane Douglas in the forgettable tag team, "The
Dynamic Dudes" in WCW.
In 2000, he was hired on as booker in World Championship Wrestling.
He was hired as a road agent in 2001 after WCW was purchased by the
WWE.
On April 9, 2004, officially replaced Jim Ross as the Vice President of
WWE Talent Relations. It had been said that he was being groomed to
take Ross' place since he joined the WWE.
