Joe Gacy's Popularity over time
Height, Weight & Measurements
Gacy stands tall at approximately 6 feet (183 cm) and weighs around 230 pounds (104 kg). His impressive physique and fitness contribute to his success in the ring. His training regimen emphasizes both strength and agility, key components for any professional wrestler.
On March 10, at Proving Grounds, Gacy faced Jonathan Gresham. Gresham had Gacy in a figure four leg lock, but F.E.A.R. came out to make the save. The stable started beating down on Gresham, and Silver ran in to break up the attack.
In the resulting chaos, Barry accidentally hit Gacy in the head with a chair, allowing Gresham to perform a deadlift German suplex and pin Gacy for the win. Following the match, Barry offered his spot in the Best of the Best to Gacy, as a way to stay in his good graces.
Gacy accepted the offer, but then kicked him out of the stable by superkicking, and then powerbombing him through a stack of chairs. On April 14, at Best of the Best, Gacy defeated Brandon Kirk, Joey Janela and Rich Swann in a four-way quarter-final match, defeating Swann with a Ace Crusher, followed by a superkick.
In the semi-final, he faced Zachary Wentz. Towards the end, Blackwater interfered by striking Wentz in the back with a kendo stick, but he kicked out at two. However, Gangone's music hit, which distracted Blackwater and allowed Wentz to get the pin on Gacy.
On June 26, at Dark City, Gacy faced Maxwell Jacob Friedman for the World Heavyweight Championship. Friedman initially had Dezmond Xavier as his opponent for his first title defence, but got his legal team to change the match so Gacy was inserted instead.
Earlier on in the match, Gacy was beaten down by Freidman's henchmen, Mark Sterling and CPA, while he distracted the referee; when Blackwater came out to make the save, Friedman pointed in his direction and the referee sent Blackwater to the back.
After that, Gacy struggled and was unable to cover Friedman due to his hurt left arm preventing him from making the cover. When he finally performed a superkick and a sit-down powerbomb on Friedman, the referee was down, and could not count the pin.
Gacy had to break the pin up in order to get the referee's attention, and Gangone used this to his advantage, attacking Gacy with a running knee with the title belt in front of it, before shoving Friedman's limp body onto Gacy's and putting the referee in place to count the pin.
Gangone further attacked Gacy after the match and retreated once Blackwater came out to make the save; an irate Gacy told D. J. Hyde to book the match for the next event.
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
As of 2025, Joe Gacy's relationship status remains a topic of intrigue among fans. He has kept his personal life relatively private, sparking speculation about his dating life. However, there are no confirmed reports regarding a girlfriend or boyfriend, suggesting that Gacy may be focused on his career for the time being.
On the September 21 episode of NXT, Gacy began a new gimmick, portraying a politically correct spokesperson who "wants to make NXT his safe space", therefore establishing himself as a heel. He was later defeated by Cameron Grimes. On the October 5 episode of NXT, he defeated Ikemen Jiro and proceeded to give him a hug afterwards.
Gacy formed an alliance with Harland who began accompanying him to the ring as his bodyguard. On the November 23 episode of NXT 2.0, he convinced the Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong to grant him a match for the Cruiserweight Championship at NXT WarGames, despite not weighing 205 pounds or below.
At War Games, Gacy was unsuccessful at capturing the title. In April 2022, Gacy began feuding with the NXT Champion Bron Breakker after he and Harland kidnapped Breakker's father, Rick Steiner. Gacy's character began to morph into a dark and sadistic cult-like leader.
A title match between Gacy and Breakker was later made official for Spring Breakin' on May 3, 2022. Gacy would fail to capture the championship. Gacy eventually challenged Breakker for a rematch at NXT In Your House, with the stipulation that if Breakker gets disqualified, he loses the NXT Championship.
Gacy would fail to capture the championship yet again.

As an astute businessman, Gacy is reported to be investing in various health and fitness ventures that align with his passion for wellness.
On February 9, 2019, at Twenty, Gacy was involved in two matches on the card, both of which ended in defeat. Firstly, he lost a tag team match alongside former F.E.A.R. stablemate Blackwater, against The REP (Dave McCall and Nate Carter). After that, he lost a singles match against Leyla Hirsch, which was also her second match of the night.
On August 10, at CZW vs. wXw, Gacy returned to the promotion by clotheslining then-champion John Silver, following his match against Anthony Greene. Gacy told the crowd that he was coming for the World Heavyweight Championship, despite the fact that he did not want it.
On September 13, at Down with the Sickness, Gacy defeated Silver, in a three-way match also involving Conor Claxton, beginning his third reign. On November 30, in a backstage segment at Night of Infamy, D. J. Hyde offered to face Gacy at Cage of Death XXI, with his career on the line.
Hyde's rival Maven Bentley disagreed, and told Hyde to find someone who would wrestle on his behalf to face Gacy instead. On December 14, Gacy faced Hyde's representative in Matt Tremont.
Anthony Gangone and his valet Valentina interfered towards the end, with Valentina lowblowing Tremont, before Gangone speared him through a door, allowing Gacy to pin him to win the match. In the resulting aftermath, Gacy was embraced by Bentley, and was then challenged for a future title shot by Alex Shelley.

On August 5, 2017, at Once in a Lifetime, Gacy appeared at the event, while ring announcer Larry Legend was about to introduce the match between Lio Rush and Joey Janela. Gacy headbutted Legend, before criticising the direction CZW were going in, and then putting Legend through a barbed wire board. In response to this, D. J.
Hyde (kayfabe) fired Gacy on his birthday over Twitter. On September 9, at Down with the Sickness, Gacy and his masked goons appeared after Strickland's title match with Jason Cade, but was chased off by the rest of the locker room.
On October 14, at The Wolf of Wrestling, a masked man was seen in the crowd, and offered Kit Osbourne the chance to join him. Osbourne refused and was abducted by a group of masked men. They resurfaced later in the night, after Strickland's title match with Ethan Page.
One of the masked men, purportedly Gacy, threatened to have Osbourne curbstomped onto a chair, unless Matt Tremont reinstated him and gave him a title shot at the next event. Strickland urged Tremont to do so, and Tremont accepted Gacy's proposal, but Osbourne was curbstomped anyway.
This turned out to be a ruse, as Gacy ran out from the back to attack Tremont; the man initially thought to be Gacy was actually Dan Barry, and the man who curbstomped Osbourne was Matthew Palmer. With Barry and Palmer aligning themselves with Gacy, it led to the formation of F.E.A.R.
