Joseph Fornini, better known by his ring name "Jumping" Joe Savoldi is an American professional wrestler and the son of wrestler Angelo Savoldi. While it has been claimed he is related to the original Joe Savoldi that is not accurate, his father was a storyline brother of Joe Savoldi, but not related by blood. Savoldi was most notable for his time in International Championship Wrestling / International World Class Championship Wrestling owned and operated by his father Angelo and his brother Mario Savoldi.
Fornini made his in ring wrestling debut in 1982 adopting the name "Jumping" Joe Savoldi, adopting the storyline last name of his father, Angelo Savoldi. Savoldi has competed in North American and international promotions since the 1980s, most notably for his father's International World Class Championship Wrestling, the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, Mid-South Wrestling (later Universal Wrestling Federation) and the National Wrestling Alliance. He has been part of two team teams, the New York Rockers (also known as the Rock 'N' Roll Rockers) with Al Perez and the S & S Express with Steve Simpson who would later hold the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship in 1985. Savoldi later reformed the S & S Express with Vic Steamboat in ICW (the precursor to IWCCW) and would hold the tag-team titles twice during 1988 and 1989.
