'''Jonathan Rechner''' (b. 1972) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from Spring Lake Heights, UsefulNotes/NewJersey best known for his work in Wrestling/{{ECW}} as '''Balls Mahoney'''. After spending a few years as a TV {{Jobber}} for Wrestling/{{WWE}} and working for his trainer [[Wrestling/LarrySharpe "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe]]'s WWA promotion, he first made an impression in Wrestling/{{SMW}} as '''Boo Bradley,''' the {{Kayfabe}} childhood friend of Wrestling/ChrisCandido. He made a ''very'' brief cameo in WWE in December 1995 as '''Xanta Klaus'''. At ''WWF in Your House 5: Season's Beatings,'' [[Wrestling/TedDiBiase "The Million-Dollar Man" Ted [=DiBiase=]]] introduced him as the newest acquisition of his Million Dollar Corporation, the evil version of SantaClaus. He had ''one'' WWE match in this gimmick, a {{Squash|Match}} of Scott Taylor on the December 23rd (taped December 19th) ''WWF Superstars'', before it was abandoned. He alternated between the Boo Bradley and '''Abbudah Singh''' names in the independents until he arrived in ECW in late 1996. Over his time there, he would hold the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-t.html ECW World Tag Team Titles]] three times, 1x w[=/=]Wrestling/MasatoTanaka and 2x w[=/=][[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Little Spike Dudley]]. After ECW closed, he spent the next few years in the independents until WWE brought him in for ''ECW One Night Stand 2005'', and a year later for [=WWECW=], where he would stay until 2008. He continues to compete in the independents today.
