Lucky Cannon
American professional wrestler
Jonathon David Emminger (born November 8, 1983) is an American retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring names Johnny Prime and Lucky Cannon. He is best known for his appearances for WWE, where he performed on the second and fifth seasons of NXT, while also working in the promotion's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he held the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship.
Early life
Emminger played football as a quarterback in high school for Ridgewood High School in New Port Richey, Florida.
Some pro wrestling sources claim that Emminger played in the Arena Football League and the St. Louis Rams, but no online football databases or newspaper articles prove that Emminger played football at any level outside of high school.
During Season 2 of NXT, Cannon claimed in 2004, that he was struck in back of the head with a pipe and was in a coma for 3 weeks.
In early 2011, Cannon was arrested for impersonating a police officer and was released on bail. According to Cannon, the charges were later dropped.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
