Justin LaRouche (born June 18, 1975) is an American professional wrestler, currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), working on its ECW brand under the name Bam Neely[1] (a take off of retired professional ice-hockey player Cam Neely's nickname). He debuted by attacking then-ECW Champion Kane.
 

Career

Independents
LaRouche started his career wrestling in the tag team known as the Hellraisers. He wrestled under the name Hellraiser Gutz and was trained and mentored by his uncle Richard Martin, who wrestled as Hellraiser Blood. They traveled across the United States, winning several tag team championships from the numerous independent promotions around the country and were the main event draw in almost every city that they appeared in for nearly a decade. However, LaRouche struck out as singles wrestler due to Martin suffering a career-ending illness. He began wrestling as Magnus Maximus in Ace Steel's Steel Domain Wrestling in 2002.[2]

World Wrestling Entertainment

Developmental territories
He entered the business alongside such names as Ken Anderson, Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, Shawn Daivari, CM Punk, and Lenny Lane before signing with WWE's former developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling under the name Justin "The Ox" LaRouche, where he won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championships with Charles "The Hammer" Evans.[2][7] They would lose the titles to the Major Brothers, who ironically became members of La Familia (as the Rated-R Entourage of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder), the stable which he would join upon making his WWE debut.

ECW brand
LaRouche made his WWE television debut on the ECW brand on April 8, 2008 when after Kane and Guerrero signed the contract for their ECW Championship rematch at Backlash, LaRouche stormed the ring, aiding Guerrero (as well as Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder) in beating down Kane and putting him through a table.[5]

It was then explained that LaRouche, now using the name Bam Neely, was a former border guard,[1] and was hired as a bodyguard by Chavo to help him win back the ECW Championship as well as provide backup for La Familia.

He won his ECW in-ring debut by defeating ECW Champion Kane in a handicap match teaming with Guerrero.[8][9] He had his first singles match on the June 20 edition of SmackDown in a losing effort against Matt Hardy.[10]

On the August 8 edition of SmackDown!, Neely along with the rest of La Familia were all betrayed by Edge, and on the August 12 edition of ECW, Neely lost to Evan Bourne, with whom Guerrero and Neely had begun a minor feud.[11]

On the October 24 edition of Smackdown! during a non-title tag team match against the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions Primo Colon and Carlito, Guerrero and Neely had some miscommunication which resulted in Guerrero slapping Neely and Neely throwing (and missing) a punch at Guerrero which distracted Neely long enough for Carlito to hit the Backstabber for the victory.
