Brian Wohl (born April 14 1972), also known as Brian Wall and Julio Dinero, is an American professional wrestler.

Career

Wohl debuted in 1994 after training at the Baltimore Wrestling Factory under Axl Rotten and Hack Myers. While wrestling on the independent circuit he worked as an accountant during the day.

In the mid to late 90's Wohl competed along the east coast in various indy promotions. Among these included the IPWA (Independent Pro Wrestling Association) Wohl was originally cast as the manager of a group known as the "Rat Pack." Jimmy Cicero and Sean "Showtime" Powers comprised that team lead by the genius of Wohl's character known as Sheik Ali Amin. Amin eventually became a Sting/Crow like character who was exposed by poor production values and slamming doors in the IPWA's home "arena," The Secret Cove in 1998.

In the late 1990s Wohl worked for both World Championship Wrestling (as Julio Sanchez) and the World Wrestling Federation (as Sanchez or Julio Fantastico). He was a jobber in both promotions, wrestling dark matches and on B-Shows such as WCW Thunder and Sunday Night HEAT. While in the WWF, he was sent to the Funkin' Dojo to train with Dory Funk, Jr. and Tom Prichard.

After being booked on the 1999 Heroes of Wrestling pay-per-view in 1999, he joined Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he formed a tag team with EZ Money known as Hot Commodity. Wohl was renamed Julio Dinero and given the character of a gigolo. He made his ECW pay-per-view debut on November 5, 2000 at November To Remember 2000. Wohl remained with ECW until the promotion went bankrupt in March 2001.

On April 16, 2003 Wohl debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as part of The Gathering, Raven's stable. Along with Raven, CM Punk and Alexis Laree, Wohl feuded with Shane Douglas and the Disciples of the New Church. On September 24 the Gathering defeated the Disciples in a Dog Collar Match, but were hanged from the rafters using chains afterwards. Alexis Laree was hired by World Wrestling Entertainment, and on December 17 Punk and Wohl turned on Raven. They feuded with Raven for several weeks before being released.

Wohl continues to wrestle on the independent circuit, wrestling for KCW (Keystone Championship Wrestling), and has also worked as security for the 9:30 club in Washington DC for several years. He also does some independent wrestling shows in Hasbrouck Heights New Jersey, in a company named Bodyslam Wrestling Organization (BWO). Wohl also wrestled LWO heavyweight Champion Steve Off, after defeating him he took the title thinking he was new champion, but when really it was a non title match, he stole the title and ran backsatge.

On May 2, 2008 Wohl appeared as a jobber on an episode of WWE SmackDown in a match against Finlay under the Julio Dinero ring name.
