Peter Joseph "PJ" Polaco, an accomplished American professional wrestler, has made a significant mark in the wrestling world, particularly recognized for his tenure in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) under the ring name Justin Credible. Earlier in his career, he was known as Aldo Montoya during his first spell with WWE.
In the WWF/WWE, Polaco earned notable acclaim as an eight-time WWF/E Hardcore Champion. His remarkable run in ECW saw him claim the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once and team with Lance Storm to secure the ECW World Tag Team Championship twice as part of the Impact Players. After a hiatus, he re-emerged in the independent circuit in 2007, wrestling as "Justin Time," and performed for Pro Wrestling Syndicate alongside fellow former ECW stars Sabu and Danny Doring.
Polaco's achievements continued when he captured the Big Time Wrestling Championship on March 29, 2009, with Ric Flair officiating the match. His contributions to wrestling were recognized when he was inducted into the New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame on July 12, 2009. In 2010, he made a brief return to TNA for the ECW-themed pay-per-view Hardcore Justice.
Despite facing challenges, including personal struggles that led to his removal from an event in 2012, Polaco persevered in various promotions, even returning to the ring in March 2017. Fluent in Portuguese, he embraces his heritage and shares his life with his wife Jill and son Nicholas, born in April 2000. Polaco officially retired from wrestling on November 20, 2015, concluding a storied career that has left a lasting impact on the sport.
