Over the course of his storied career, John Wagner has won more championships than anyone in professional wrestling.

First GPW World Championship reign
Wagner won a 20 man Gauntlet for the Gold match on the GPW Primetime Special on January 4, 2002 last eliminating Ryan Renegade to win the championship. The two would embark in a feud which led to the two men having a feud. They squared off again on January 27 at Global Rumble in Madison Square Garden. There, John retained the Championship against Ryan Renegade in a hard-hitting back and forth match.

Wagner would hold the title until the first Wrestling Extravaganza where he lost it to Behemoth. He lost in a rematch at 'Desire. He then participated in a Three Way Dance at Summer Bash' for the World Heavyweight Championship in a match that also involved Tank, but again came up short.

His next feud was against Tommy Acevedo. The two met in a match at Gold Rush which Wagner won. The feud continued into August where Acevedo picked up a victory over Wagner in a Tag Team Match on 'PUMPED! At Extreme Brutality 'on August 18, in Los Angeles, California where they met again in a Los Angeles Bloodbath Match which Wagner won. The following episode of 'PUMPED! 'on August 23, saw Acevedo defeat John Wagner in a singles match. The feud continued until Desire where they met in an "I Quit" Match which Wagner won.

Bastards of Hell and storyline with Gabriel Black and heel turn
On the November 8, 2013 edition of PUMPED!, Wagner defended his GPW World Heavyweight Championship against Gabriel Black. The match was notable for the fact that Black went against the script and legitimately shot on Wagner. Wagner responded with an elbow to the face, and pinned Black for the three count. After the match, Black legitimately injured Wagner and interim GM Brutus Hendrix named Black the new GPW World Heavyweight Champion.

Wagner returned at Final Encounter as part of the Adam Wagner/Gabriel Black match. During the match, John turned on Adam, thus becoming a heel for the first time in his career and allowing Gabriel Black to retain the championship. The following episode of 'PUMPED! 'on December 27, John Wagner denounced his family's name and proclaimed his new name as "Damien Reynolds" and renamed the group the "Bastards of Hell." Later that night, the BOH challenged the Wagner brothers to a Street Fight. Six new prospects were introduced, though their identities were never revealed.

The January 3 edition of 'PUMPED! 'saw the BOH attack the Wagner's backstage. Later on in the night, Damien Reynolds defeated Kenny Blaze with the help of the BOH. The Wagner's then came out after the match and announced their intentions to enter the Global Rumble match. The January 10 edition of 'PUMPED! 'featured a match between Adam Wagner & Damien Reynolds which Adam won with a roll-up.

At Global Rumble on January 12, Damien Reynolds supposedly won the titular match by eliminating Adam Wagner, with the help of Black. However, Commissioner Scott Brady overruled the decision and awarded the match to Adam Wagner.
