Santino Bros. Wrestling originally started out as a Submission Fighting Tag Team of Kaos and Mongol back in 2004. The duo’s most notable feud was vs La Familia De Tiajuana Damian 666 and Halloween. Fun fact: In 2005 The Young Bucks made their debut vs The Fighting Santino Bros. Kaos and Mongol at the Grand Olymipic Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA.  

On April 11th 2007 Joey Kaos’ friend and mentor Darren Dynamite D McMillan passed away due to complications of cancer. One of the last things Darren told Joey was “you gotta Keep the Dream Alive”. And that’s just what Kaos and Mongol did. In late 2007 an opportunity arose where they could give back and they ran with it.

   What we are about.  Santino Bros. Wrestling Academy started out at Rico Dynamite’s house in Norwalk, CA.  Back in 2007 Rico and his roomate Johnny had an unofficial school going with about a dozen students. Feeling they taught their students all they knew but wanted to get them more training, Johnny and Rico approached Joey Kaos asking him to help them out. So in January 2008 Joey Kaos officially opened Santino Bros Wrestling Academy in a backyard in Southern California dedicating the school to long time friend and mentor Dynamite D who passed away the year prior.  Kaos brought Mongol, Supreme, Angel,  Robby Phoenix and BC Killer to help with the training, but in reality is was a elimination process.  The 6 trainers drilled each student, testing their stamina, heart, passion, will, desires and need to be a Pro Wrestler.  To their surprise only a few students dropped off and the majority remained.  For the next 2 years Santino Bros opened its doors to the public, getting alot of dreamers but only gaining about 4 new students to add to our legacy. 

In June 2010 the city of Norwalk, CA.  gave Santino Bros Wrestling Academy our walking papers. Two and a half years of hard work came to an end due to a city ordinance.  It was a sad day and we thought it was going to end. We had built a comraderie, we considered ourselves family and we felt lost at the thought of no more training facility. We could have let go, it may have been easier, but to be honest quitting the school was not an option. Joey Kaos had promised long time friend and mentor Dynamite D that he would “Keep The Dream Alive”  and that’s what they did.

Taking a huge risk, in July 2010 just 1 month after getting the boot,  kAos rented a small warehouse in Bell Gardens, CA. We began our journey as an official Training school. It hasn’t been easy, we came very close to shutting the doors in 2010 and 2011.  Since then we are finding our way and look forward to hitting our stride as THE must go to Pro Wrestling School in the World. We’ve proven we are competition and are here to stay. In September 2014 Santino Bros. Wrestling had it’s largest enrollment to date with 24 new Students, enabling the dojo to open it’s doors 2 more days per week. Adding to the growing legacy that is Santino Bros. Wrestling Academy
