William "Bill" Posada is an American independent professional wrestler best known under the ring name Joker. He worked for the Combat Zone Wrestling promotion, IWA Mid-South, Chikara and UWA Hardcore Wrestling.
Joker started his wrestling career in Dangerously Intense Wrestling where he was formally trained by Jay Tee Wilcoxson who helped him develop his unique and intense wrestling style. Joker went on to team with Sabian and Karnage to form The Dark Karnavil. They held the DIW Tag Team Champions and were one of the most intense wrestling groups in the Philadelphia wrestling community.
Joker began his CZW wrestling career in Combat Zone Wrestling in 2002. He is a member of "The Blackout" stable with Ruckus, Eddie Kingston, Sabian and Robby Mireno. In June 2004, Joker put his wrestling career on hold to fight in the Iraq war. His last match was a death match against John Zandig and they wrestled in a secluded garage whilst the other members of Blackout watched on. The match was ended early as Blackout, getting upset watching their friend and partner receive a bloody beating, interfered in the match.
Joker returned to Combat Zone Wrestling, on November 14, 2004. Joker won his first title in Combat Zone Wrestling on February 11, 2006 when he teamed with fellow Blackout member Eddie Kingston to win the CZW World Tag Team Championship from the then champions, Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. On August 12, 2006, Eddie Kingston was kicked out of the Blackout stable during the title reign and, as a result of this, his half of the CZW World Tag Team Championship was given to Blackout member Ruckus. After August 12, 2006, however, Joker's profile was removed from the official Combat Zone Wrestling website, as he left the promotion to join Pro Wrestling Unplugged, which resulted in the CZW World Tag Team Championship being vacated. Despite leaving Combat Zone Wrestling, Joker still wrestled under the stable of The Blackout in other promotions. Joker won the UWA Tag Team Championship with Sabian on October 28, 2006.
