Early Life 

Mariners Base Camp Lejeune is located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. At that location, Allen Neal Jones was born on June 2, 1977. When he was a child, his drinking father made life difficult for him. Jones' family was so impoverished that they couldn't afford cable TV, so he couldn't do what he enjoyed as a child: watch professional wrestling. He attended Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia, from 1996 to 1997. Jones competed in amateur wrestling while still in high school, winning two state championships. Jones then received a scholarship at Anderson University in Anderson, South Carolina, where he plans to study body education and fight. Then, some friends approached him about joining a professional wrestling team. He enrolled in a professional wrestling school to participate in the fun and discover if he had what it took. To earn money, he drove an ambulance and mowed grass.
