Entrance Theme: "Tech Noir" by Gunship (Carpenter Brut Remix)
Entrance Description:
"Tech Noir" by Gunship (Carpenter Brut Remix) hits and has some time to thump before JJ Young appears. What lights there are available shine down upon him and follow him as he makes his way down the entry ramp. On his way he takes time to step towards the fans and slap hands with him. His toothy white smile glows in the lights as he climbs the ring steps. At the top of the steps he takes off his hoodie and tosses it to the ground and enters the ring.

Once inside the ring, with the music still thumping, he goes to the far turnbuckle and climbs up, throwing his arms out to his side and then flexs and ultimately points to the fans and nods his head as the music hits its peak. He does a back flip off the turnbuckle and lands on his feet, spinning around to do some warm ups--readying himself for the upcoming bout.

Personality: He's a joker, there's no doubt about that. He's cocky to a point, but always has his eyes open and tries to be ready for threats. This is something he's still learning, though. He likes to have fun and doesn't take things too seriously and occasionally that gets him into trouble, in and outside of the ring.

Biography:
JJ Young was raised in a middle class home and had a pretty happy childhood. He excelled in sports and fell short in academics in highschool, but managed to get through with C’s. He entered the Military after his Junior year. Thanks to the JROTC program he was able to complete basic training at seventeen and immediately entered the Army after completion of his senior year. Shortly afterwards he was deployed to Afghanistan.

During this period of time, his mother had been battling stage four metastatic breast cancer and at the age of nineteen, JJ received a call informing him that his mother had passed away. His father, diagnosed with Renal cancer would then pass when JJ was twenty one, in his third year of deployment.

JJ was finally granted an honorable discharge from the military and returned to Philadelphia to help his older sister and younger brother pick up the pieces. JJ then found himself struggling to find work and decided to visit the Team Bragg Fight Club where he learned Jeet Kune Do and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Ultimately he showed enough promise that Erica Bragg, owner of the FC, offered to support him as he decided to enter the sport of professional wresting instead of MMA.

The rest of his story has yet to be told.
