Grew up around the coast of South Carolina, he's the son of a fisherman and became one straight out of high school. Worked part time while going through college as he tried to find his way in life. But, one day, decided to drop out of college since he knows now what to do with his life. So, he quit his job as a fisherman and used all of his life savings to be trained as a professional wrestler. He made a name for himself in the local scene while working as a bouncer on the side to pay bills. Until one day, he entered the Grand Tournament which is an event held for every wrestler around the country and the winner will be guaranteed a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. He managed to get through and was able to win and get the shot at the championship. Many thought he wouldn't last as he's just a newbie, but when he faced the champion himself, he put up a hell of a fight and managed to become World Heavyweight Champion.
