Sometimes you just need to lay back & think about how you got here. For some, it was an easy path, while for others, it was a bumpy ride. For JMont, the road was one that he did not choose, but one that came to him.
Back in the day, JMont was supposed to be the one in the family to go to college. To get that full sports scholarship. And it looked like it was going to happen. He had scouts from all the big schools from Michigan to Duke to North Carolina wanting him for basketball to be their star point guard. And then that one game that changed his life forever. A Halftime that JMont will never forget. The score was close & his rival was keeping up with him on the court. They met at half court, walking past one another when the unthinkable was said to JMont.
“You know i fucked your girl & I can take out your family anytime i want.”
Just when that statement was concluded, JMont balled his hand into a fist & a right hand to the side of the head that could have been heard in Hawaii. Standing over his rival who was knocked the fuck out like Deebo, he then kneels down looking right into the face of him.
JMont: You're about to lose this game & you just lost the battle bitch!
A mere seconds later, security rushes the court & grabs JMont. He is trying to fight his way out, but there are too many holding him. While JMont is getting taken off the court, the other man lays on the center court still out. The people in attendance are in shock & concerned at the same time.
Some time passes & the paramedics arrive, putting the young man on the stretcher & taking him away for further evaluation while JMont is in the locker room surrounded by security as they await for the police to get here. And before you know it, the cops have arrived & were escorted to the locker room. They read JMont his rights & put both his arms behind his back @ they cuffed him. They then walk him out of the locker room & to add to the embarrassment he has caused for himself & his family, they walk him through the court where everyone can see. The fans are quiet & you can see the scouts packing up their briefcases getting ready to leave because they saw all they needed to see.
JMont told his rival that he lost the battle, but in reality, it was JMont that just lost. He lost it all. His education as he was expelled from school. His scholarship offers were withdrawn & he was in jail for the day until he got bailed out by his Dad & Uncle.
Now that school was out of the question, he joined the family business working for his Uncle exclusively. Picking up the money, dropping off the goods, collecting payments. Everyone knew that JMont was untouchable & they never tried to cross him. But even working for the family wasn't what he wanted. He wanted what he lost from that bad decision he made in high school. A decision he still regrets but has learned from.
Fast forward to a night out of town at a local club & he runs into a long time friend, All Hannan. They drink, they chat & the end story was Hannan trying to get JMont into wrestling. JMont was an athlete but never wrestled before. He knew how to fight & defend himself, but wrestling was a different beast. After thinking long & hard about it for a few weeks. JMont made a decision that would alter his life forever.
JMont: Unc, i don't want to do this to you, but i need to step away from the family business to pursue a career in wrestling.
Uncle Vincenzo: You sure about this?
JMont: I’m 100 percent sure.
Uncle Vincenzo: I just have to ask why wrestling?
JMont: Because I always wanted to be on TV. Stand in front of 100,000 people cheering or booing me. For Money, Power, & Respect. I need to make up for the mistakes I had in high school & become the athlete I know I can. That is why I want to become a wrestler.
Uncle Vincenzo: I support you & we will always be here if you need us.
A handshake that started the career and life of J Mont. Love him or hate him, there will never be another like him in that ring.
