Gene Munny debuted in PROGRESS Wrestling in 2019 when he wrestled in the Natural Progression Series before the very next night competing in the bonkers PROTEUS Title battle royal at Alexandra Palace.
His last appearance in front of fans was the equally crazy reverse battle royal at Unboxing, another showcase for the zany and creative antics Gene brings to a live crowd.
During the Peckham era, Gene was an almost ever present on the shows and despite a lack of a live crowd, his charisma shone through and it was no surprise when they did return he was the first out of the curtain.
His connection with the PROGRESS fans is genuine and heartfelt and a big reason he was entered into the Super Strong Style 16 tournament – where both he and Warren Banks ended the 3 day tournament getting a huge round of applause for their gallant efforts.
He soon found himself wrestling in another insane match – Super Mob Smash XII – a gimmick that by his own admission he hated with every inch of his being.
He would not be deterred though and managed to earn a PROGRESS Men’s World Championship match against Spike Trivet and most recently a Tag Title shot with Connor Mills that ended in a controversial defeat.
Gene Munny’s journey through PROGRESS Wrestling is a tale of evolution, heartbreak, and dark rebirth. Initially bursting onto the scene with his trademark wit, wild charm and self-branded moniker “The Most Professional Wrestler,” Munny was beloved by fans for his unorthodox style, infectious energy and relentless self-belief. Whether flying solo or teaming up in the Big Money Gun Dogs, he carved out a reputation as a tenacious underdog with a cult following.
Across countless chapters and unforgettable moments from battling Spike Trivet for the PROGRESS World Title to his memorable run in Super Strong Style 16 2022, Munny became one of PROGRESS’ most adored personalities. But the road to greatness is never straight and for Gene Munny, 2024 marked a chilling transformation.
At Super Strong Style 16 2024, Munny shocked the wrestling world. The fan-favourite who had once fought with heart and humour turned his back on the audience, revealing a new, ruthless agenda. Aligning himself with Will Kroos, Taishi Ozawa, and a reborn Session Moth Martina, Munny introduced The Family – a faction forged in bitterness, bound by bloodlust, and determined to destroy the old guard of PROGRESS.
No longer seeking adoration, Munny embraced destruction. As part of the monstrous tag team Mothdog with Martina and in tandem with Kroos, Gene tore through the tag division, defeating teams like Sunshine Machine and terrorising all who dared stand in their way. His war with Simon Miller over the Proteus Title in 2025 was brutal and personal, pushing the limits of what the “Dog House Rules” would allow.
At Chapter 183: 100 VOLTS, Gene Munny achieved what many thought might never come to pass – he became the ATLAS World Champion. Yet the moment that should have been the most triumphant of his career carried a conflicted energy inside the Electric Ballroom.
In recent months, Munny has unveiled a new, harder-edged attitude, spurred on by his alliance with Session Moth Martina. The comedy, charm, and warmth that once made him a cult favourite of the PROGRESS faithful have been replaced by a sharper, more ruthless approach. That shift has not gone unnoticed by the fans, many of whom have turned their backs on the man they once cheered so loudly.
But while Munny may have lost the affection of the crowd, he has gained something far more tangible: championship gold. His victory over Mike D not only ended a respected reign but also cemented Munny’s place in the history of the ATLAS division. It was the ultimate validation of his new path – proof that this meaner, less compromising Gene Munny can deliver results at the very highest level.
The question now is whether Munny can reconcile the cost of success. The ATLAS World Championship is around his waist, but the fans who once gave him unwavering support now look on with disdain. For Gene Munny, 100 VOLTS marked both a career high and a turning point – and the road ahead promises to be just as unpredictable as the man himself.
Gene Munny is no longer just a personality, he’s a problem. Dark, dangerous, and backed by a Family as twisted as himself, Munny has sheddding his comedic skin to reveal a predator fuelled by chaos and vengeance. He may still be the most professional wrestler – but now he’s one of the most feared too.
