1973

Peter Joseph "PJ" Polaco (born October 16, 1973) is a retired American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the ring name Justin Credible.

He is also known for his earlier stint with the WWF under the ring name Aldo Montoya.

Polaco is a one-time world champion, having won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once.

1992

Polaco traveled to Alberta in 1992 to train at the Hart Brothers Training Camp, nominally run by Keith Hart.

He was mainly trained by his future tag team partner, Lance Storm, and Chris Jericho, who both graduated the program the year before.

After wrestling unpaid as P.J. Walker, and setting up the rings there for a time, he began working for New England–based wrestling promotions.

1993

His first match was a loss to Lex Luger on the March 1, 1993, episode of Monday Night Raw.

He continued to wrestle sporadically in WWF throughout 1993 and 1994.

He even scored an upset victory against Irwin R. Schyster on the September 20, 1993, episode of Raw, after a distraction by Razor Ramon.

1994

His first major stint was in the WWF as Aldo Montoya, where he competed as a mid-carder between 1994 and 1997.

He also worked a few matches as an enhancement talent in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1994.

Polaco began wrestling for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as an enhancement talent.

After spending nearly two years in the WWF as an enhancement talent, Polaco was hired by Pat Patterson to a full-time contract in late 1994.

His Portuguese ancestry inspired the WWF to give him the soccer player character of Aldo Montoya.

However the idea changed to the "Portuguese Man o' War" character since he didn't like soccer.

He made his televised debut as a fan favorite on the November 14 episode of Monday Night Raw, where he picked up a victory over The Brooklyn Brawler.

He was once offered to be a part of the Million Dollar Corporation by Ted Dibiase.

He refused and told him to "shove his money in his ear".

His mask drew criticism by fellow wrestlers, who called it a "jockstrap".

Polaco befriended The Kliq, an influential group of upper card wrestlers, after Razor Ramon offered to mentor him.

1995

Polaco made his pay-per-view debut at the 1995 Royal Rumble as a participant in the Royal Rumble match.

He lasted 13 minutes until he was eliminated by eventual winner Shawn Michaels.

Montoya suffered his first televised loss against Mantaur on the January 29 episode of Action Zone.

On the April 8 episode of Superstars, Polaco defeated the Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett in a non-title match, which earned him a title shot against Jarrett for the Intercontinental Championship on the April 22 episode of Superstars, where Jarrett retained the title.

Montoya appeared at the In Your House pay-per-view, where he attempted to prevent Jarrett and The Roadie from attacking Razor Ramon after a handicap match.

1996

He made only one pay-per-view appearance in 1996 at the Royal Rumble, where he participated in the Royal Rumble match, where he lasted only two minutes until he was eliminated by Tatanka.

His only highlight of the year was an upset victory against Jerry Lawler on the July 27 episode of Superstars, which he gained by pinning Lawler with Jake Roberts' DDT finishing move.

He lost to Lawler in a rematch on the August 5 episode of Monday Night Raw.

After the match, Lawler poured Jim Beam whiskey down his throat.

1997

He got his biggest exposure when he joined ECW in 1997 as Justin Credible and enjoyed a successful career.

He began a two-month winning streak before feuding with the company's top wrestlers for the next two years.

Throughout this time, Montoya became more of a lower card wrestler and even asked for his release in 1997 when he was only being booked twice a month.

The WWF initially declined and sent him to a developmental promotion in Memphis to hone his skills, where he remained for seven weeks.

1999

He formed Impact Players with Lance Storm in 1999 and the duo won the World Tag Team Championship twice in 2000.

Later that year, he won the World Heavyweight Championship at CyberSlam and held it for five months.

2001

He remained in the title contention until the company folded in 2001 and competed in the last match of ECW.

He headlined the company's flagship event November to Remember twice.

He then returned to WWF as a member of X-Factor and later The Alliance during the Invasion angle.

2003

He later won the Hardcore Championship eight times before departing in 2003.

2006

He briefly returned to the renamed WWE in 2006 as part of the revived ECW brand.
