My father “Mr.Ebony” Tom Jones

Why do you want to be a wrestler?
Well growing up in wrestling I kinda had no choice lol but seriously i wanted to have a closer relationship with my father and then I fell in love the moment I had my first match!
What are your signature moves?
Drop kick, power slam, face wash

What injuries have you sustained?

Are you mainly considered a face or a heel?
I would say heel as it comes natural to me lol
Who are the indy wrestlers you look up to? Why?
I don’t just have one I look up to any indie wrestler because we are all in the same boat trying to show our masterpiece all over the world!
What are your favorite promotions to work for?
It’s really hard to answer that question because each promotion is different I love any promotion that is doing it for the fans and the betterment of wrestling in a whole!
What style do you do? Are you a high flyer? Are you old school?
I would consider my style old school that can fly if I need to I like to adapt to whoever is standing across from me
Tell us about your first match.
I was scared to death I was a 15 year old kid in a mans world lol the match seemed like it took for ever.. but once it was over I wanted to go back out there the rush I got that day is something I will never forget!
Tell us about your most memorable match.
My most memorable match took place in Amarillo Texas on March 3rd 2013 vs my best friend Austin Riley inside a cage it was career vs career and it was one of those matches where everything went right and the place was packed with fans who wanted to see us not a big name 2 local guys that where there to give them a fight to remember and we did! I wish I could go back capture that moment again!
Here’s the link-
What do your friends and family think of you wrestling?
My mom supports me but I know deep down she hates it lol just because she went through the same thing with my dad. I don’t have many friends outside of wrestling but the ones I do have joke about me doing the “fake” fighting so there’s that! Lol
What do you do to pay the bills?
Work at carmax
How far do you want to take your wrestling?
As long as my body will let me and as long as people still want to see what I have to offer..
If you could change anything about indy wrestling or how people perceive pro wrestling, what would you change and why?
That’s a tough one… I want people to understand that no matter how “staged” wrestling is there’s a lot more that happens in our lives then people understand like the long term effects that wrestling puts on our bodies, brains, and relationships.. we are humans that love to entertain people..
Complete the following sentence: If I don’t make it to the WWE…
I’ll keep at until another opportunity comes around be it Japan, ROH, Impact, Europe.. the goal is and will always be WWE but I understand the market and what they look for so you never know what could happen.
And one more sentence: If I wasn’t a wrestler…
I would be a entertainer of some sort but realistically I can’t see my self being anything other than an wrestler.
What do you want to be known for in the business?
Someone who goes out every show and makes the people happy by giving all I’ve got this is what I love to do and I want to share my love with people!
