00:30I would give him advice about not being in crime to take full advantage of the wrestling.
00:36He wouldn't listen.
00:38He could be laughing so hard that you think he's going to pass out,
00:42and the next thing you know, he might have somebody by the throat,
00:44and you're thinking, okay, I'm about to witness, like, a pretty heinous crime here.
00:48He fed an insatiable appetite for power and infamy
00:51as a high-ranking member of the Satan's Choice biker gang.
00:56Johnny was very power-hungry.
00:58He wanted to rise to the top as quickly as he can.
01:02Johnny K-9 is out on bail in connection with charges he's facing
01:06thanks to the bombing of the Sudbury police station.
01:09You're reading the newspaper article, and it's like,
01:12uh, yeah, that's Bruiser, that's my guy.
01:15And they're like, yeah, well, apparently he blew up a police station in Sudbury, Ontario.
01:19It's just like, what?
01:20Double assassinations and blowing up police stations?
01:23Really?
01:25I just couldn't bring myself to think that he's a bad person
01:29that deserves to be punished for anything.
01:31That's what blows everybody's mind.
01:34Both sides of his dual life would ultimately implode,
01:38leaving a defeated and broken man in the wake.
01:43He f***ed up.
01:45He f***ed up big time.
01:46On the offensive, no, turn around, ducked underneath that one, look out.
02:02If you were a star in the WWF in the mid-to-late 80s,
02:05chances are you probably beat Johnny K-9 somewhere along the way.
02:08K-9 down, this one is over.
02:10I remember seeing him as kind of a job guy on WWF TV probably in 85, 86, 87.
02:19So long, Johnny.
02:20Johnny K-9 was one of those, you know, look, the term offends some people.
02:24It doesn't offend me because I used to do it as jobbers, right?
02:27They're the guys that lose on television to the stars.
02:31That's all made quick work of Johnny K-9.
02:34Television was the opportunity to get stars over.
02:37So the big-name stars, the Hulk Hogan's, the Randy Savage's, have to beat somebody.
02:42WWF would hire local people at all the TV tapings,
02:45and they would come in, and you would be the guy that gets beat.
02:48You do the job.
02:49You're not under contract, so you got labeled as a jobber.
02:52Young John K-9, something lacking in him.
02:55He's like caught in the Twilight Zone or something.
02:57If you're a wrestling fan watching WWF, you knew who Johnny K-9 was.
03:01You knew he was going to drop to his knees and do that X.
03:03What is that thing he does before each match?
03:05Crosses his arms, significant of something, but you got me.
03:10He loved wrestling and was known for that,
03:12but locally he was also known as this tough kid
03:15who'd grown up on the wrong side of the law.
03:18He made money legally, and then he dipped his foot in crime.
03:23So there was this balance of, you know, legal and illegal activities.
03:29This is Johnny K-9.
03:31Is there a reason for that name?
03:33It's a long story.
03:34I used to work in a bar.
03:36One time I got arrested.
03:37I had an assault police charge.
03:40And they threw me in the back of a paddy wagon.
03:43And I was looking, I saw a dog car come up.
03:45And I seen K-9 and go, that's the name I'm going to use when I go in the ring,
03:47because I'm a dog.
03:48I know he had been to jail and prison, because when I met him, he had just been released.
04:00My name is Tracy Edwards, and I was married to Johnny K-9.
04:03And I met him in 1993 in Hamilton, Ontario.
04:09I was an exotic dancer doing a rollerblading show.
04:12And the thing with Johnny was, when he walked into a bar, the whole establishment stopped who they were doing.
04:22And that blew me away.
04:23I was on stage, and I could just see the way the whole bar changed.
04:26And I looked over, and he just looked at me, and I was like, whoa.
04:31And that was it.
04:36From the moment I looked at him, I knew we would be together.
04:48After gigs dry up for Johnny at regional WWF-TV tapings,
04:53he pursues stardom on the independent wrestling circuit.
04:56K-9 follows him with an elbow.
04:57I first met Johnny K-9.
05:00It was in Chatham, Ontario.
05:01It was a show for an older wrestler by the name of Ricky Bolton.
05:06I'm Scott D'Amour, executive vice president for Impact Wrestling.
05:09And I was a longtime professional wrestler and friend of Johnny K-9's.
05:13I saw it on the card that was posted outside in the hallway, that I was wrestling.
05:17At that point, he was K-9 dog of war.
05:20But I knew he was Johnny K-9.
05:22And I hadn't seen him since his WWF days.
05:25And then I walked into the locker room, and I see, I'll call it the new improved Johnny K-9, right?
05:31This isn't the 220-pound Johnny K-9.
05:35This guy is muscle on top of muscle.
05:37He's not that lean bodybuilder muscle.
05:39He's that big, thick, like, I'm going to cave somebody's skull in muscle.
05:43And he had the Fu Manchu, he had the tassel of hair, and he's got, like, the gym shorts, and he's got the flip-flops.
05:50And he was just sitting back, and he's like, hey, kid, yeah, it's me and you tonight.
05:54Yeah, me and you, but it'll be good.
05:56And I mean, I just about shit my pants right there.
06:00And we had a good match, and that's what led to me getting booked all the time in the U.S. with.
06:06Johnny in the ring, to me, was just unbelievable to watch.
06:11He'd get in the ring and start swinging his head around, doing this thing, and the eyes would be bulged out, and he'd be screaming at everybody.
06:20You're all scared!
06:21Really coming across, like, scary.
06:25Johnny K-9 was one of the toughest guys out there.
06:28He told the guys all the time, hit me, I don't care, I want blood.
06:36If there's no blood, then we're doing it again.
06:40You've got to get blood.
06:43He always wanted to be tougher than everyone around him because of his childhood.
06:48He grew up in a very abusive home.
06:51At Christmas time, his dad would get so drunk and beat his mother and the kids.
06:58He would chase them around with a broom.
07:02He, uh, was five years old, and he was so scared.
07:06And he would climb his little body under the steel bed frame and hold on with his little fingers and his feet.
07:13So when his dad went with the broom under the bed, he couldn't get his little body.
07:22Johnny's traumatic upbringing would eventually fuel his tough guy persona in and out of the ring.
07:28He never quite knew when that switch was going to go off.
07:32One time, me and him were at a show in Ohio.
07:35We wrestled each other.
07:36And when you're young, you're always scared to check your envelope.
07:39Because back then, you always got paid in cash.
07:41I didn't want to disrespect the promoter by checking the money in front of him.
07:45So he just got, oh, thank you, thank you so much.
07:47Well, I get in the truck.
07:49I look at my envelope.
07:49I'm like, ah.
07:51And Cannon's like, what's wrong?
07:52I'm like, nah, nothing.
07:53He's like, did he short you?
07:54And I go, yeah.
07:56I no longer get the words out of my mouth.
07:58And he's gone.
07:59And for a 300-pound man, he's moving.
08:02And I'm chasing after him, so I don't know what he's going to do.
08:06By the time I catch up to him getting in the locker room, he has the promoter by the throat, and he's holding him against the wall.
08:13The guy has got to be 18 inches off the ground.
08:16And it's gritted teeth.
08:17You're going to short this kid.
08:20After he got in the ring and wrestled me.
08:23You want to get in the ring, and you want to take shots from me, huh, punk?
08:27You give that kid his money.
08:29And I'm sitting there going, oh, my God.
08:31Like, we're going to get arrested.
08:32We're in another country.
08:34He scared the hell out of that.
08:35When he let him go, he dropped to his knees, gasping for air.
08:38And this guy's just throwing money at me.
08:42We get in the truck, and K-9's got that big smile on his face, and he's feeling good about himself.
08:46And he goes, kid, I don't think that guy's going to short you on money again.
08:50And I'm like, no, no, but Johnny, I'm also pretty sure that guy's never going to book us again.
08:56And sure enough, he never did.
08:58This is a really big, tough-looking guy, and a lot of people feared him.
09:03But to me, he was a gentle soul, you know?
09:07He was like this stand-up comedian-type guy.
09:10Like, he just always made me laugh.
09:13He would order a pizza and answer the door naked.
09:17I'm like, what?
09:19Put on some underwear or something.
09:21No, no, no.
09:22Watch this.
09:24The door would open, and 300 pounds, rock-solid muscle, completely naked.
09:30And the pizza guy would be like, yeah, that'll be $20, please, sir.
09:36And I would laugh so hard.
09:40He was so funny.
09:42I think Johnny K-9 needed to be the center of attention in some ways, and he loved all eyes on him.
09:47Whatever he had to do to make the boys laugh.
09:51There's this place in Taylor, Michigan, where we used to wrestle for MTW.
09:54That's the Midwest Territorial Wrestling King, and we have one hell of a card here tonight.
09:59There was a band that was going to play before the show.
10:02K-9 walks up, and of course, he's like, hey, buddy, you mind if I play the drums?
10:05So he gets on there.
10:06We do not believe he can play the drums at all.
10:09He starts actually playing the drums, and he's not half bad.
10:12And he's just loving it, because everybody's eating it up.
10:17Then he gets on the microphone and starts singing.
10:21And of all his skills, singing is not one of them.
10:25I spent the last year a rocky mountain wave.
10:30Wrestlers are falling off of chairs, laughing so hard.
10:34And the more we laugh and put it over, the more he's going to do it.
10:37That's wild, man.
10:40I can see some shit.
10:41And that's actually the territory or the company where we were wrestling the night that Jim Cornette discovered K-9.
10:47I'm Jim Cornette.
10:50I've been a promoter, matchmaker, announcer, manager in professional wrestling for 40 years.
10:54And I was the promoter and matchmaker for Smokey Mountain Wrestling.
10:59Smokey Mountain Wrestling was one of the last of the pro wrestling territories in the United States.
11:03It was started specifically to be an old-time territory with southern wrestling feel.
11:09And to do that, we not only needed established wrestlers that the people knew that were stars to them,
11:16but we also needed to constantly find new names, new wrestlers, new ways to make matches.
11:24The team that I was managing, the Heavenly Bodies and I, were booked on an event in Michigan.
11:29When we got there and saw the guys in the locker room, I saw this big, bald-headed, jacked-up guy.
11:35He looked like a turn-of-the-century carnival strongman.
11:38He had a big, round head, bald, these big, bulging eyes that he could make that face.
11:45He had this giant tattoo across his stomach, true to the crew.
11:50I said, there's got to be some way that we can bring this guy to Tennessee where they've never seen him before
11:56and make a believable animal out of him.
12:00We need a heel.
12:01We need a badass.
12:02I sat down and talked to him in the locker room that night.
12:04I said, would you be interested in coming to Tennessee and working for me three or four days a week
12:10if we can come to some agreement?
12:11He said, yeah, Jimmy, I'm all over it.
12:15We asked him one time in the locker room the tattoo, true to the crew.
12:19He said, oh, guys, I was in jail one time.
12:22And all of the guys in jail, we decided we were going to get that tattoo when we got out.
12:26And I said, well, once you got out of jail, you know, is anybody going to check?
12:33No, Jimmy, you don't understand.
12:34These guys, you say you're going to do something, you do it.
12:38That was the first time that I got an inkling that Bruiser had a checkered past.
12:43I don't know if Bruiser chose a life of crime or if the life of crime just chose him.
12:49After a fortuitous encounter backstage with Johnny Canine,
13:00promoter Jim Cornette prepares for Johnny's arrival at Smoky Mountain Wrestling in Tennessee.
13:06I didn't think that Johnny Canine was a great wrestling name.
13:09I thought, what can you call this guy?
13:11Well, Dick the Bruiser was one of the most famous major box office attractions in wrestling.
13:16When his promotion was in its dying days, had a television show called Bruiser Bedlam.
13:22Jim rebranded a lot of guys.
13:25It's like the Thrill Seekers.
13:26Jericho and I had wrestled a sudden impact,
13:28but to him, I think the Thrill Seekers would resonate better with his audience.
13:32We're going to rock America.
13:34I'm Lance Storm.
13:35Spent time in Smoky Mountain Wrestling in 94.
13:38Lance Storm and Chris Jericho, the Thrill Seeker.
13:41The moves you're seeing now, you don't see many American wrestlers making these moves.
13:45These are international moves.
13:47Cornette's like, oh, I'm bringing this new guy in.
13:49And it was Bruiser Bedlam.
13:51And everybody's like, who's that?
13:52Oh, he used to be Johnny Canine.
13:53I'm like, okay.
13:55I remember he was on his way down to the States.
13:58It was a really cold day and he was driving a Jeep at the time.
14:02He had his tank top on with no coat.
14:04I go, what are you doing?
14:05He says, don't worry.
14:06It's going to be so hot, so fast.
14:09I don't give a shit.
14:11And he would pull up that hill in that open air Jeep, no matter how cold it was.
14:15Wearing the most minimal of shirts, maybe like a string gym tank top.
14:21And he's this gigantic dude in the tank top shorts and flip flops.
14:25He's just like, oh my God, who is this guy?
14:27You know, is he going to be a crazed maniac or what?
14:30But 10 seconds of eating, he's just like, hey buddy, how you doing?
14:32And so, hey, and you know, his demeanor was, you know, just big teddy bear.
14:38To cement Bruiser Bedlam as his new monster heel,
14:42Cornette books him in a main event match against the promotion's top baby face,
14:46Bullet Bob Armstrong.
14:48His first night in, we had a handicap match against Bullet Bob Armstrong,
14:52who was the all-time legend in wrestling of that area.
14:57And Bruiser beat him.
14:59The cover, one, two, three.
15:01People were like, you beat Bob Armstrong?
15:04Nobody beat Bob Armstrong.
15:06That instantly gave him a little credibility in their eyes.
15:09We did videos with him where he could drive a 10-penny nail through a board with his bare hand.
15:15One time, he said, Jimmy, I could break a beer bottle over my head.
15:19Okay.
15:20So we got the camera rolling, he's got the bottle in his head, and he's, bam!
15:24It didn't break.
15:26I'm like, Bruiser, you know, we can gimmick that.
15:28No, I can do it.
15:29Second take, bam!
15:32Now the knot's coming up on his head.
15:34I got it, bam!
15:36Now he's bleeding.
15:37I took the bottle and baked it, put it in some cold water, let it crack a little bit,
15:42handed it to him, said, now break it.
15:44Ah!
15:44Yeah!
15:45This is what I'm about for!
15:46You've got a guy bleeding on television, screaming, I'm going to kill you.
15:50I believed him.
15:53At the time, other than wrestling, what did you know that he did for a living?
15:57I don't know.
15:57Johnny Canine grew up in a rough neighborhood where criminality was another option.
16:07My name is Bill Dunphy.
16:08I'm a now-retired crime and justice journalist.
16:13Hamilton was an industrial powerhouse, and in the 70s and 80s, that has really declined.
16:19So the opportunities for someone of Johnny's age were very different than they were 10 years, 15 years earlier.
16:27Johnny grew up borderline poor, barely making it.
16:30So the wrestling, you know, he made a bit of money, but not near as much as he wanted.
16:35So that's why he worked for a family.
16:39I'm not going to say the name.
16:40The Gravel family, which was a big family in Hamilton.
16:45My name is Len Eisner.
16:47I was a detective staff sergeant with the Ontario Provincial Police.
16:51He had acquaintances among all the traditional organized crime families.
16:57People who had debts would give a percentage of the debt to somebody like Johnny Canine,
17:03and he would take a profit off, and he would collect the money.
17:07And it was a lot easier for Johnny to do it because, basically, of his appearance.
17:12A few times, he'd come home with blood on his shoes, wash his hands,
17:17and that was one of the ways he made his cash.
17:20Despite his success as a low-level enforcer,
17:23Johnny has even bigger dreams for his life of crime.
17:27He told me his oldest brother was with the Red Devils,
17:32and he would always remember stories of when he was a kid,
17:35and his brother and all his bros would pull up on their Harleys and pull into the driveway.
17:41And he always wanted to be with a bike gang.
17:44And that's what happened.
17:45He started hanging out with Satan's Choice.
17:48Johnny rapidly integrates himself into the world of outlaw biker gangs
17:53when he joins one of Canada's most notorious groups,
17:56the Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club.
17:58I guess they proposed the offer of him opening up a chapter in Hamilton,
18:03and he jumped right on it.
18:05Johnny was right away elected as the president,
18:08and he ran the show there.
18:12Mark Carlos is my name.
18:15I knew Johnny from Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club.
18:17Nobody that I know of ever came up that fast.
18:24Even though I didn't like it personally, I understood.
18:28Because if you wanted to look at the big picture,
18:33the big picture is money.
18:35When people hear in that drug crime world,
18:39you got Johnny Canine backing you,
18:41you make more money.
18:44People are f***ing scared, right?
18:46So it was easy for him to make 20, 30 grand
18:50in a matter of 20 f***ing minutes, no joke.
18:54Well, Johnny had heat written all over him.
18:56You know, extorting bars and restaurants in your hometown.
19:01The cops are called.
19:02It was decided that some attention has to go on this new chapter.
19:08So I was assigned to Hamilton
19:10and the Johnny Canine investigation.
19:16He was making a lot of money illegally at that point,
19:20but he loved wrestling.
19:22He'd go and wrestle for 200 bucks.
19:25Johnny's two-sided lifestyle was never more evident
19:28than when he left behind his biker gang duties
19:31to wrestle down south for Smoky Mountain.
19:34It was there that he would find himself crashing
19:36at a famous flop house.
19:39Yeah, the famed, or I guess infamous more,
19:41the Smoky Mountain flop house.
19:43There'd be four or five of them living there at any one time.
19:45Chris Jericho was flopping there for a while.
19:48Some of the other guys that were just starting out and wrestling.
19:51And then suddenly, whenever Bruiser was in town,
19:53he just decided to live at my house.
19:57He always said, hey, buddy.
19:58If you want to live here, I'm going to do my share.
20:00Hey, buddy.
20:00So in his mind, his share was washing the dishes.
20:05I went to the cupboard to grab a plate,
20:07and I pulled a plate out.
20:08There's all these pieces of food kind of crusted on.
20:12I watched the next time Bruiser does the dishes,
20:15and Bruiser's idea of doing the dishes
20:17was just holding the dish underneath the water
20:21and then going like this and putting it back.
20:25The dish is clean.
20:26So the next time he went, dude, it's fine.
20:30It's fine.
20:30You know, you're the guest in the house.
20:32You want to do your part, take the garbage out or whatever, you know?
20:36He was a good roommate as far as someone to hang out with.
20:39As far as contributing anything to the living situation, absolutely not.
20:42But as a person, he was always a lot of fun.
20:46The first month or so in Smoky Mountain Wrestling,
20:49we basically put Bruiser in with all of the guys
20:52that understood what to do to get a monster over.
20:56We were having a big event at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.
21:00Jake the Snake Roberts was in one main event.
21:02The other one was going to be Bruiser Bedlam versus Randy Macho Man Savage.
21:07Bruiser Bedlam, you got to understand
21:09that these are glory days for Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
21:12Randy sat down with me and said,
21:14This is your guy, right?
21:15He's going to be here.
21:16I'm just coming in one time.
21:18Let me put him over.
21:21Randy Macho Man Savage, one of the biggest stars in wrestling,
21:24doing me a favor to come down and appear on my show.
21:29And now he wants to lose to my new top heel.
21:35I tried to interfere.
21:38Other people got involved.
21:41But Bruiser Bedlam pinned Randy Savage, one, two, three.
21:48That was in a lot of ways to Johnny.
21:50Like, here I am.
21:51Like, I'm not that job guy anymore.
21:53You're going to go down, you punk, just like Macho Man.
21:55You punk scab.
21:57That was his biggest match of his entire career.
22:00And I think he did a very good job with what he was given to work with
22:05for that period of time he was in Smoky Mountain.
22:08By Thanksgiving, Christmas time, we had to change talent over again.
22:13I couldn't find a spot for him.
22:14He took it well.
22:15He said, Hey, Jimmy, no worries.
22:16Hey, I've had a great time.
22:18And he went back to Hamilton.
22:20There was not one single issue that I can recall in nine months
22:26of having Bruiser Bedlam in my locker rooms
22:29or at the Smoky Mountain flop house.
22:32That was him, you mother...
22:33I would almost have to see videotape of him actually blowing something up
22:42before I could believe it.
22:50After Smoky Mountain Wrestling, he was doing smaller shows.
22:55I'm the man down this area.
22:56I beat them all.
22:57I got paid to beat them.
22:59I'm going to beat them.
23:00He just wasn't happy.
23:01The shows were smaller.
23:03Tell the fans to take a seat.
23:04All the police have to be in your seats.
23:07His heart was truly broken.
23:11All he wanted to do was make it, you know?
23:17Maybe he was hoping that, you know,
23:19a bigger break in wrestling would completely remove him from that other life.
23:23Or again, that could be me trying to make him the person I want him to be.
23:28He probably would have made a great wrestling guy
23:31like that Hulk Hogan fella and stuff like that, right?
23:35He was a showman.
23:38He loved the attention.
23:41But he went down the wrong path.
23:44This life isn't for somebody looking to make it big.
23:49As a biker, it's not good.
23:51So we'll sit in front of the clubhouse,
23:54you know, monitoring who's coming, who's going,
23:56who's associating with who, so on and so forth.
23:59And Johnny will come out sometimes
24:01and he'll say,
24:03what are you guys up to wasting the taxpayers' dollars?
24:07You don't talk to the cops.
24:10But what is the reason?
24:11You know, other than thinking you're more intelligent,
24:15thinking that you're untouchable,
24:16I don't know.
24:20But it's not good.
24:24We get information from him
24:26without him really knowing,
24:27like his bike's in the shop,
24:29he has to go get his bike later.
24:30So, you know, little pieces of intelligence
24:33that always was handy.
24:36Along with constant visual surveillance,
24:39Detective Staff Sergeant Len Eisner and his team
24:42utilized wiretaps
24:43to monitor the activities of Johnny and his gang.
24:47We noticed early in our investigation
24:49that there was a relationship
24:50between the Hamilton,
24:52Satan's Choice, and the Sudbury.
24:54They seemed to hang out more.
24:56Johnny Canine formed a relationship
24:58with a member of the Sudbury chapter
25:00by the name of Michael Dubé.
25:03Michael Dubé was probably
25:06the most dangerous biker that I've ever met.
25:10On one particular night,
25:12they decided,
25:13let's go to the Solid Gold.
25:15And the Solid Gold was
25:16an adult entertainment place.
25:21All of a sudden,
25:22the members pulled up their colors
25:24and they put them in their saddlebags.
25:27And Johnny Canine says,
25:29what are you guys doing?
25:30He says,
25:30well, I can't wear colors in the Solid Gold.
25:32It says no colors.
25:34Johnny said,
25:35hell with that.
25:36We're going to wear our colors in here.
25:38He went from,
25:41I'm just a wrestler,
25:43to he's Al Capone.
25:46And when you get the Al Capone syndrome,
25:49that means you can do whatever you want.
25:51Well, in the Solid Gold,
25:53the staff said,
25:55we can't serve you.
25:56There's a no colors policy here
25:57and we'd like you to leave.
26:00The Satan's Choice members
26:01dug their heels in and says,
26:03no, we're not leaving.
26:03The Sudbury police are called.
26:07And there's a face-off, basically,
26:08between the Sudbury police
26:10and the Satan's Choice.
26:12The Satan's Choice back down.
26:14Johnny Canine and Mike Dubé
26:17talk about how upset they were
26:19with what happened at the Solid Gold.
26:23So they decided that they would bomb
26:25the strip club.
26:27Canine and another member
26:28of the Hamilton group
26:30offered to arrange the explosives
26:32and the bombs.
26:34Johnny doesn't know
26:35there's been a change in the plans
26:37and Michael Dubé decides that
26:40this bomb is not going to go
26:42to the Solid Gold.
26:44He decides that this bomb
26:46is going to go to
26:47the Sudbury police station.
26:49So they went and they put the bomb
26:51in an alley beside police headquarters.
26:54And it blew a hole in a brick wall.
26:56A phone call is basically made to Johnny.
27:09Another member calls him and says,
27:11yeah, the police station got bombed
27:13in Sudbury.
27:14You could tell in this conversation
27:15that Johnny's confused.
27:18He didn't know he was manipulated,
27:20I think, until the downfall.
27:22Several months after the police station bombing,
27:27law enforcement prepares
27:29for an elaborate takedown
27:30of Satan's choice.
27:32This is getting into 1997.
27:34So we have a lot of members
27:36in Hamilton on narcotics charges,
27:39on extortion charges,
27:40collecting money.
27:41Plus, we also have the bombing.
27:44Now, when we go into
27:45the Hamilton clubhouse,
27:47they did everything they could
27:49to prevent us from coming in.
27:50And that was all Johnny's doing.
27:52He put barriers in front of doors
27:54so we can't ram doors
27:55and things like that.
27:56So we had to pull a hole in the wall
27:58to enter the building.
28:02So they're coming in
28:03with flashbangs.
28:09Laser sights.
28:14So next thing you know,
28:16we're in bed and
28:17I thought there was a hit.
28:19I thought gangsters
28:20were coming into the house
28:22to kill us.
28:24Then I realized,
28:26I looked,
28:27I could see all the boobs.
28:3250 SWAT team members
28:34came bursting into our home.
28:35Yeah, it was over at that moment.
28:47Yeah.
28:49Yeah.
28:49The Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police
29:01Emergency Response Unit
29:02moved in on the Satan's Choice
29:04clubhouse on Lotridge Street.
29:06Club president,
29:06Johnny Canine,
29:07is out on bail
29:08in connection with charges
29:10he's facing
29:10thanks to the bombing
29:11of the Sudbury Police Station
29:13in December of 1996.
29:15It was just so perplexing
29:17having all of the personal stories
29:20of,
29:21hey buddy,
29:21how you doing?
29:22It's like,
29:22hey bruiser,
29:23how you doing?
29:23Big hug.
29:24And then you get your stepdad
29:26going,
29:27is this your friend?
29:28And I'm like,
29:28um,
29:29yeah.
29:29My friend,
29:31the man that tried
29:31to blow up
29:32a police station
29:33in Ontario.
29:34There was a great moment
29:35and police arranged
29:37this moment
29:38where they took the crane
29:39and they lifted
29:41the Satan's Choice logo
29:43off the side
29:44of the building.
29:47I think it took
29:47a lot out of him.
29:50It was something he built.
29:51That was his house.
29:52It was his,
29:53um,
29:54it was his life.
29:56Johnny made
30:00a spontaneous utterance
30:01when he was arrested
30:02where he basically
30:04turned to me
30:05and he said,
30:05Lenny,
30:06that wasn't for
30:07the police station,
30:08that was for
30:09the solid goal.
30:11In this case,
30:12Johnny Canine
30:13was interrogated
30:14by a biker squad officer
30:16who just knows
30:17how to lean on him
30:18enough to get him
30:20to point at someone.
30:23With wiretap evidence
30:25and Johnny Canine's
30:26statement to authorities,
30:28Michael Dubé
30:29is implicated
30:30as the mastermind
30:31behind the police
30:32station bombing
30:32and Johnny
30:33is released on bail.
30:35One of their
30:36unwritten rules is
30:38you don't make
30:39any statement
30:39to the police.
30:40You don't assist them
30:42in their investigation.
30:43So, um,
30:45when he comes
30:45out of jail,
30:47they remove him
30:48from the club.
30:49He was, um,
30:53being accused
30:54of being a rat.
30:55I would see
30:56a friend of ours
30:57and, hey,
30:57how's it going?
30:58And this one guy
30:59turned on me
31:00and said,
31:01your man's a rat.
31:02And I just up
31:04and cracked the guy.
31:07I mean,
31:07I stuck up for Johnny
31:08no matter what.
31:09I was so in love
31:10with him.
31:11I was blinded
31:12by his love.
31:13But I went from
31:14being proud
31:15and happy
31:15to be with him
31:16to being really
31:18nervous and scared
31:19for my life.
31:21The police
31:22would pull me
31:23over randomly.
31:24An undercover
31:25officer would just
31:26get out and come
31:27to my window
31:28and I'd get really
31:28mad.
31:29What did you pull
31:29me over for?
31:30I'm not doing
31:30anything wrong.
31:32Listen,
31:33I just want to
31:34tell you your
31:34life's in danger.
31:36Telling me there's
31:36a hit on me
31:38and John.
31:39Yeah, it was
31:39really scary.
31:41It was really
31:41scary.
31:43Yeah.
31:46In January
31:48of 2000
31:48he went off
31:50to prison
31:50for bombing
31:51the police
31:52station.
31:53Our baby
31:54was about
31:54two years
31:55old I believe
31:56and yeah
31:58I had to get
31:58far away
31:59from all the
31:59troubles
32:00that Johnny
32:00brought.
32:02Then I was
32:03like this is
32:03my escape route.
32:06So I left
32:06with clothes
32:07on our backs
32:08basically
32:08and off
32:09to Vancouver
32:10I went.
32:12While Johnny
32:13serves a prison
32:14sentence of
32:1433 months
32:15for the bombing
32:16Tracy flees
32:17with her
32:18children to
32:18the west
32:19coast of
32:19Canada
32:19in a desperate
32:21attempt to
32:21start a new
32:22life.
32:23I divorced
32:24him.
32:25I had moved
32:25on with my
32:26life.
32:27Till he
32:27followed me
32:28out there
32:282002
32:29he got
32:30released.
32:32He told me
32:33that he missed
32:34me and everything
32:35but honestly
32:36I think that
32:37he was being
32:37run out of
32:38his own
32:38hometown
32:39and he
32:40thought
32:40British Columbia
32:41was the best
32:41thing for him.
32:43He flew
32:44across
32:45landed
32:46at the
32:46Vancouver
32:47airport
32:47and as
32:48soon as
32:48I saw
32:49him at
32:49the airport
32:50I just
32:53I was so
32:54in love
32:54with him
32:55I wanted
32:56to believe
32:57what he
32:57was telling
32:58me.
32:59I told
32:59him I
33:00said you
33:00know let's
33:00turn something
33:01bad into
33:02something really
33:02good.
33:04He was at
33:05one time
33:05wanting to
33:06open a
33:06wrestling
33:06school
33:07instead he
33:09went to
33:09prison again.
33:14after only
33:19a few
33:19months in
33:20British
33:20Columbia
33:21Johnny's
33:21criminal
33:22past as
33:23an enforcer
33:23comes back
33:24to haunt
33:24him.
33:25He's
33:25arrested for
33:26a double
33:27murder
33:27committed
33:27in Ontario
33:28back in
33:291998.
33:32The
33:32Gilbanks
33:32were murdered
33:33in 1998
33:36a lawyer
33:37and her
33:39husband
33:39Lynn and
33:40Fred
33:40Gilbank
33:41it looked
33:42like a
33:42stolen
33:43car
33:43was used
33:44to drive
33:45the killer
33:45to their
33:46house at
33:47five in
33:47the morning.
33:49The killer
33:49went up the
33:50stairs with
33:51a shotgun.
33:52Fred Gilbank
33:53came out
33:54was shot
33:55twice
33:55and died
33:56in the
33:56hallway.
33:58The killer
33:59continued on
34:00to the
34:00bedroom
34:01where Lynn
34:02Gilbank
34:02was still
34:03in bed
34:03and she
34:05was shot
34:06four times
34:07in the
34:07way.
34:08In
34:09searching
34:09for motives
34:10for this
34:10they went
34:10through all
34:11of Lynn's
34:12cases
34:12and Gravel
34:14drug case
34:15was one
34:15that had
34:16troubled her
34:16and she
34:17had mentioned
34:18it to
34:18someone else
34:19that she
34:19was concerned
34:20about the
34:20safety of
34:21her client.
34:23So the
34:23police theory
34:24was that it
34:25was an
34:25attempt to
34:25intimidate
34:26the legal
34:26community
34:27and other
34:28criminals
34:29from ratting
34:31on the
34:31Gravel
34:31family.
34:33Johnny
34:34K-9
34:34and Andre
34:36Gravel
34:37were charged
34:38with murder
34:39about nine
34:40years later.
34:43I had a
34:43voicemail
34:44message from
34:45Scott Damore
34:46and it was
34:47just like
34:47did you hear
34:48about K-9
34:49and I'm
34:49like oh
34:49no I
34:50thought he
34:51died and
34:51I called
34:52Scott Damore
34:52back and he's
34:53like yeah he's
34:54been charged
34:54with a double
34:54murder and I'm
34:55just like
34:55what?
34:56it's hard for
34:59me to
34:59picture the
35:00guy who
35:01was willing
35:02to stand
35:02beside me
35:03through thick
35:04and thin
35:04no matter
35:05what to
35:06see how
35:07he you
35:09know could
35:09do something
35:10at that
35:11level and
35:12maybe I'm
35:14naive but
35:16that's just
35:17not the
35:18John I
35:18knew.
35:19So he
35:19spent 20
35:20months in
35:20jail and
35:23got released.
35:23The police
35:25didn't have a
35:25strong case
35:26and it was
35:27withdrawn and
35:28Andre Gravel
35:29and Johnny
35:29K-9 are
35:31innocent of
35:32that crime.
35:34In 2006
35:35murder charges
35:36were withdrawn
35:36against Johnny
35:37and Andre
35:38Gravel when
35:39prosecutors
35:40determined there
35:41was no real
35:42prospect of
35:42conviction.
35:43Gravel
35:44subsequently sues
35:45authorities in
35:46Ontario alleging
35:47malicious
35:48prosecution and
35:49obtains an
35:50undisclosed
35:50amount in the
35:51settlement.
35:52Johnny never
35:53killed the
35:53Gilbanks
35:54that was a
35:54load of
35:54crap.
35:55Okay.
35:56So he
35:57came back
35:58to BC
35:59in 2007
36:00that's when
36:01I remarried
36:02him and
36:03yeah.
36:08Johnny was
36:08saying what
36:09am I going
36:10to do for
36:10money?
36:11I said
36:12movie industry.
36:13Sammy!
36:14No!
36:18Was he a
36:19good actor?
36:20Not a
36:21great actor.
36:21He tried
36:23his best
36:23and he
36:24had a lot
36:24of fun
36:25doing it
36:25you know
36:26but
36:26then he
36:27was in
36:27a gym
36:28in North
36:28Vancouver
36:29and saw
36:29Hell's Angel
36:30then he
36:31started talking
36:32to the
36:33United Nations
36:34and he
36:34comes home
36:35bragging

36:47UN gang

36:50organized crime
36:50gang
36:51he tried to
36:52hide it

39:16of
39:17speculation
39:18he died
39:19of a
39:20heart attack
39:20and probably
39:21because of
39:21his lifestyle
39:22I know
39:23he was
39:23in trouble
39:26on the
39:27west coast
39:28so
39:29either it
39:30was a
39:30hot shot
39:31because
39:32he wanted
39:32him gone
39:32you know
39:34and
39:34somebody
39:35gave him
39:36some good
39:38stuff

39:39he went
39:40for the
39:41big ride
39:41or
39:43he just
39:45couldn't do
39:45it anymore
39:46the reason
39:47he died

40:07looked like
40:07the headline
40:08of a Chicago
40:09newspaper
40:09for something
40:10like Capone
40:10in the outfit
40:11and I
40:12started laughing
40:12and I
40:13just thought
40:13if Johnny

40:16could write
40:16his own
40:17headline
40:18for his
40:19death
40:19that's
40:21what he
40:21write
40:21well he
40:22had that
40:23charisma
40:23that forms
40:24folk heroes
40:26Al Capone
40:27was a very
40:27dangerous
40:28person
40:29in the fact
40:29that he

40:32involved in
40:33crime his
40:33whole life
40:34he made

40:35and the
40:36fact that
40:36they made
40:37him a
40:38folk hero
40:38and these
40:39types of
40:40descriptions
40:41sort of
40:42fit
40:42Johnny Canine
