History[]
Johnny was born to Laura Lawrence and a unnamed father on August 20, 1967. When Johnny was 6 his father left him and his mother in 1974 Laura discovered that Johnny held onto mementos of him and threw them out after telling him that she that she married Sid Weinberg. Johnny would be abused by Sid after living with him it wasn't until one day in 1979 that he discovered Cobra Kai & John Kreese. Kreese became a father like figure to Johnny who taught him to strike first, strike hard, & show no mercy. Eventually Johnny would meet Ali Mills after seeing Rocky III with his friends Bobby, Dutch, Jimmy, & Tommy. Then eventually they would break up which led to Johnny meeting Daniel LaRusso and they fought on the beach after breaking Ali's radio. Johnny & his friends would bully Daniel which includes pushing him off of a hill, to beating him up after getting him wet in the bathroom during the Halloween dance. Johnny & his friends were defeated by Mr. Miyagi and then the next day after the fight he would lie to Kreese about being jumped by him which leads to Daniel & Johnny fighting each other in the tournament. Johnny & Daniel would eventually advance through the tournament in which Johnny would lose to Daniel and after the event nearly being killed by Kreese who was defeated by Mr. Miyagi.
Years later Johnny would be a alcoholic, have a son named Robby, lose his mother Laura who died before Robby was even born, and do odd jobs. One day he was fired from his job after getting into a argument with a customer he would save his neighbor Miguel Diaz from Kyler & his gang. He would reopen Cobra Kai, restart the rivalry between himself & Daniel, get Cobra Kai unbanned from the tournament then win it, he would see Kreese again who later took over Cobra Kai. After losing Cobra Kai, Johnny would open up the Eagle Fang dojo and eventually end his rivalry with Daniel to take down Kreese & Silver's Cobra Kai, being in a relationship with & marrying Carmen Diaz, having a baby daughter with her named Laura named after his mother, retaking Cobra Kai, and also winning the Sekai Takai by beating Sensei Wolf & the Iron Dragons.
