/ The History of Joseph Hayes Engel /

Joe BoXeR was born Joseph Hayes Engel on March 20th, 1975, in Oxford, Ohio. He was two years old when his brother, Matthew James, was born on December 25th, 1977. After only three years of growing up in the beautiful, yet small city of Oxford, the parents of these soon-to-be stars divorced and went their seperate ways. Joseph and Matt went with their Dad to Charleston, West Virginia. The brothers got along well, although Joe was a bit more quiet and less rowdy than Matt. All Matt wanted to do was play and have fun, but Joe felt he was more mature. Their father remarried and their new mom gave birth to a sister, Enika. When Joe was eleven years old, his parents had a new child and he had a new brother - Warren. Joe liked Warren a bit more than Matt because he felt they were similar. They both got decent grades, while Matt excelled in school and sports. Joe and Warren played some sports, but not much. They weren't after ALL of the fruits of life like Matthew was, which might explain why they are where they are and why Matt is where he is. Joe was a cool kid in high school, breezed through it actually without having to go to a lot of the classes on a daily basis, and finished it up. He went off to college, but dropped out after him and his roommate, Jeff Augustee, decided to get into wrestling. Joe wrestled in high school, but grew up watching the professionals on television. Joe and Jeff made it big in a few smalltown midwest federations and Joe got his huge break in the SWF(sooner to become the SWA). He didn't leave Jeff behind because sooner or later Jeff would join the SWA and tag with Joe, winning the SWA Tag team titles. He prospered tremendously in the SWA. Joe made great friends and enemies; such as Notch, Thunderwolf, Quicksilver, Big Daddy for friends and Lex Demise, Sgt. G, Kevin Cool, Dr. Demise for enemies. Joe had his best times in The Real Deal and winning titles, and kicking the living hell out of Demise. His worse times were with Demise and in his indescribable feud with him. His niece, Alexia, was captured and tortured by Lex Demise. She was mentally abused and tormented. She was only seven. To this day, she still suffers painfully from post traumatic stress. Also, her father Ray Kanzleiter, Tara's brother, was killed trying to save Alexia. Joe and Ray both suffered terribly at the hands of Lex and his lackeys. Ray's body couldn't take it anymore and gave in. Joe's body was relentless, well he was in better shape. Joe eventually came out the victor at the PPV they fought at.

The SWA closed down in 2001 and Joe was forced to find other work. He found his way into the NAW, but soon quit. NAW was corrupted. He fought in the PHWF for a little bit, defeating a big name; Fallen Angel. The PHWF soon halted and was never heard from again. He had split his ways with his friends from SWA and joined other federations that he didn't know who was in. He was in WEWF for some time, WCF for some time, FcW for a good time, and ESW for a short amount of time. Now, he has made his way back toward the AOWF and has done good so far. But, before Night of Armageddon Four, Joe BoXeR's lovely wife, Tara, was kidnapped and controlled by Diablo. Joe has tried many times to get her back, but being under the control of Diablo has let him fail. He wasn't able to help Tara, but he was able to help his niece-now-turned-daughter, Alexia. He helped her rid herself of those demons created by Lex Demise, but he could see himself failing as a father. Alexia woke up from the nightmare she thought she was living in, and Joe gave custody of her over to his brother, Matthew Engel. He couldn't handle being a father anymore and he knew Matt would take good care of her. He apologized to his loving daughter and left her in the hands of Matt, then drifted off hardly to ever be heard from. Joe was working gigs at radio stations, and eventually owned one of his own stations. He had a calling for a short stint in the Liberty Wrestling Federation in 2007, but left due to peronal reasons after five matches.

As of March 7th, 2008, he has signed a contract with Pioneer Wrestling -- where his two younger brothers are -- to be their new Commissioner! Not a wrestler.
