Christopher DeJoseph is a member of the Smackdown! brand creative team for
World Wrestling Entertainment.
He is best known to WWE fans for his on-screen role as
Big Dick Johnson, an overweight male stripper.
Television role
DeJoseph was first seen on WWE television at
WWE No Mercy on
October 9,
2005 when he was a waiter who carried the hamburgers to the ring for
Simon Dean before Dean's match with
Bobby Lashley.
DeJoseph was then seen on WWE television on the
June 19,
2006 edition of
RAW, dancing, along with two other male strippers, for
Mr. McMahon as a gift from
D-Generation X.
Because that segment was so well received by fans, DeJoseph has made many more appearances on WWE television since then, now under the name
Big Dick Johnson.
DeJoseph would appear at
No Mercy 2006 as a birthday present from
Layla to
The Miz.
He would appear again on a
RAW episode after
Cyber Sunday, in which DX would force
Eric Bischoff to kiss Johnson's ass as revenge.
DeJoseph would be the judge (dressed as Santa) in a Diva Lingerie Contest at
Armageddon 2006, where he decleared all the participants the winners, and then stripped.
