In February 2000, Quinlan tag-teamed with bodybuilder Jerry Ward (Lucian Bagwell) for Yankee Pro Wrestling, which later became known as Top Rope Promotions. In the summer of 2000, Quinlan was briefly managed by Rocky Raymond while participating in hardcore wrestling throughout New England. On July 2, 2000, while wrestling at the Thompson International Speedway in Connecticut, Quinlan received a Powerbomb from his opponent through a table on concrete outside the ring, fracturing one of the vertebrae in his lower back.

Shortly after, Quinlan went to Atlanta with Peter Karalekas and met with Ernest Miller,<ref name="podcast" /> who was accompanied by Carmel Macklin and Michael Jai White about entering the World Championship Wrestling (WCW)'s Power Plant.

Quinlan was the cover model and inspiration for the character, Zane (A Dragon Shifter), in the Award Winning, Urban Fantasy/Norse Mythology Romance novel by Author Jennifer Sage titled, "The Last Valkyrie." The cover artist, Claudia McKinney with Phatpuppy Art Studios, did an impeccable job at capturing the features needed for "Zane" through Quinlan's physique, which was a perfect match. The full-length novel is book one in a trilogy and was released on February 14, 2016.<ref>[http://www.jennifersage.com/the-last-valkyrie/ The Last Valkyrie Book Cover]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPRIQ-wBXKc See Quinlan in the book trailer]</ref>
==Personal life== thumb|Quinlan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake in 2001 Quinlan has been referred to as the most tattooed male romance cover model in the world. Quinlan has numerous tattoos, most with an Oriental and Celtic cross theme. The tattoos include two half-sleeve tattoos, seven Kanji characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system and four nautical stars. A tribal shamrock tattoo was acquired after he obtained permission from retired mixed martial arts fighter Frank Shamrock.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.themmazone.net/Martial-Arts-WP/2012/05/07/frank-shamrock-inspires-professional-athlete/ |title=Frank Shamrock Inspires Professional Athlete |work=Themmazone.net |access-date=May 8, 2012}}</ref> On July 13, 2013, Quinlan was tattooed by American artist Matt Myrdal with his fifth nautical star. A few months later in December, he was tattooed again by Myrdal which included an additional 4 nautical stars among others. In May 2014, Quinlan had 3 additional nautical stars tattooed on the back of his neck. In July 2016, American tattoo artist Jon Saulnier tattooed a cross on Quinlan's lower left abdomen. He currently sports twenty eight individual tattoos.
Quinlan used to be a vegan. He suffers from extreme migraine headaches.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.niuzer.com/New-York-City-NY/Sports-Model-John-Quinlan-trains-for-bodybuilding-physiques-shows-with-migraines-10429865.html |title=Sports Model John Quinlan Trains For Bodybuilding Physiques Shows With Migraines |work=Niuzer.com |access-date=March 5, 2012}}</ref>

John "Stoneface" Quinlan became a born-again Christian at 50 years old, and his faith was strongly reinforced after the unexpected and tragic death of his 48-year-old younger brother, Brian, of a heart attack on May 17, 2025. This crushing loss led him to realize his need for God, his own vulnerability, and that life is fragile.<ref name="quinlan-book"/>
