Every day I wake up I know I’m blessed. You know, we go through things as people, certain trials and tribulations and what not and how we deal with those circumstances builds our character and shapes us up to be the people we are today. I’ve been through some rough patches in my life, you know. My mom raised four boys basically on her own because the men in her life were never adequate spouses, especially my dad. He’s one of those con artist, deadbeat dad ass niggas that never takes care of his family - either one of them but always talks like he’s father of the year despite the fact that he leaves the responsibility of putting food on the table to his wives.
But I’m not going to get into my pops. Nows not the time for that, I just wanted to get that basic idea across, you know, to allow you guys some insight into my life. A lot of you folks see Black Jones as some party-goer, some highly offensive, loud-mouthed kid who’s just chasing after good times and doesn’t really pay anyone any mind. Well, that’s your opinion, and my momma always told me that you can’t make everybody happy. The world don’t work that way, and that’s real talk. My momma never lied to me a day in her life. Even so, I do take it personally when people claim I won’t be able to achieve this or that, or put me in a group with these people, or those people. I blame that on their old heads, that’s how they were raised. They don’t know no better.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I hate being labeled if that makes sense.
I’ve dealt with the system telling me I’d be dead by my eighteenth birthday, or that I’d be doing twenty-five-to-life if I ever saw twenty-one. People said I wouldn’t graduate high school because I’m an African American from an inner city black community. I won’t succeed in life without a college degree. Everyone and their mom wants to be a famous rapper, but few ever do. And now, I’ve got people telling me that I won’t make it in this wrestling business.
A lot of outsiders think we’re living pipe dreams, think we’re wasting our time. I hear the noise, and the chatter. It wasn’t long ago that Duke and I were shooting pool at school, or trying to nail hoes at parties. But let me tell you something about us, let me tell you something about #RushHour.
All WE do is win.
WE, man that’s a funny word. A long time ago it wasn’t even in my vocabulary, wasn’t in my thought processes. I was never that team oriented type of guy, I was always about myself. Hell, I’m not that close with my family member, my mom says I’m emotionally detached. My friends back in Philly joke, they say I only care about myself and that I don’t really be looking out for no one.
But that’s all changed man, cause I’m a changed man. I’ve been through the fire and the struggle. I’ve learned my lessons in the past, and I’ve done work on my personality. But more importantly, I’ve met someone that I wholeheartedly fuck with. He’s more than a roommate to me, more that just a best friend. That nigga DUKE, yo, that’s my partner in crime, my ride or die, down for everything, main man-hunnit grand! That’s my asian persuasion, the Jackie Chan to my Chris Tucker. That’s why I know I’m blessed, because in spite of the fact that I’m a jackass, an asshole, self-centered and egotistical, I’ve STILL got somebody like that in my corner who doesn’t care about any of those flaws. That’s why he’s more than my hommie, he’s someone I’ll go to war with ANYDAY of the week.
And it just so happens that I have to at the first ever Revolution Show. Well, Coyote Ugly, and Ana “Whatever”, I hope ya’ll ready because #RushHour has something to prove. This is what we’ve all been working toward, been training for. No Days Off right? Well, listen closely… ya’ll might be nice and all individually, been learning from some of the greats right? Well we bring that to the table too. Papa been working Duke like a slave, and OG Jimmy Riley got me on plantation flow too. He’s the original Rainmakers protege, and I’m learning the ropes from the Risen Star himself! We’re all picking the brains from hall of fame talents, so what’s gonna set us apart, what will be the deciding factor?
Teamwork. Continuity. Remember those two words because they’re two things we have and two things you don’t. There’s a reason we’re billed as #RushHour, while you guys are Coyote and Anastasia Sterling. And that’s because you’re just partners. You haven’t been through the thick and thin. You don’t know each others deepest, darkest secrets. You weren’t cruising for chicks after twelve, or getting into fights with fuckboys on campus at frat parties. Duke and I have been through it all. When the going gets tough, I know he’ll be there to have my back. When shit hits the fan, he knows I’ll be there beside him. We’re built for this, and I’m sorry to say this but, I don’t know if ya’ll two are about this tag life.
We’ve overcome a lot in our lives, and speaking for myself right now, losing is just not an option. I’ve got haters to prove wrong. I’ve got Adrien Cochrane and Jaime Alejandro to show that I wasn’t just blowing smoke before when I said I could do this wrestling shit. I’ve got OG Riley judging me, and I’ve got to show him he isn’t wasting his time with me. I’ve got my snowflake, my future baby momma, the Bonnie to my Clyde, my Wyn, my better half cheering me on. I’ve even got old man Collins looking at me, and I’ve got to prove to him that the next generation’s got THIS, that when he gives EXODUS over to us, it will be in good hands.
But most importantly, I’ve got to prove it to myself, that my best is good enough, and that I can do anything I put my mind to. So I hope you two come just as prepared as we are. I hope you two are ready because #RushHour is going to turn that motherfucker out! I’m off the chain, and I’ve got the dopest mojo in the game, and you better believe Duke is coming full throttle, like a bull in a china shop. We've worked this hard to get here, we're not about to take a loss right now. Naah, not at all. We're finna turn up, and ball out, because we're Black Jones, and Duke Togo. We're #RushHour, and winning is all that we do.
