Biography :

Kriminal’s background is one of interest...

As a young boy, growing up in St.Louis, he led the lifestyle where he lived for baseball. However, as with a lot of people of similar family conditions, Kriminal, a.k.a Jackson Adams, lived in a small flat, with a large family. Jackson, being the youngest of 4 boys, and 2nd youngest of the family 6 children, obviously was well looked after by elder brothers, and indeed, sisters. His dream of becoming a baseball player were very slim, as the families where they were could barely afford the necessities, never mind any luxuries such as a baseball uniform, or proper shoes.

At the age of 11, this dream looked like it was going to fade away until one time Jackson saved up his lunch money from school for a whole two weeks, and used it to go to a baseball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Busch Stadium in his hometown. He was merely a spectator at this match, unknown by the Cardinals’, but what soon happened seems a bit of a freak incident, Destiny, you could call it.

In the 3rd Quarter, with the Dodgers batting, the batter hit the ball straight into the crowd, and a steady Jackson Adams simply stood up and caught it, which amazed fans from both sides, as well as players and coaches alike, as the ball was hit with such velocity. If this amazed all of them, they were then sent into sheer amazement, no, sheer astonishment as Jackson was able to throw the ball back, from about half way up the stand, all the way to the plate! That was the talk of the rest of the game, with the commentators talking about a young
boy in admiration.

After the match, Jackson was approached by the coach of the Cardinals, and several players, After shaking hands with all of them, including some of his idols, he was asked to join the Cardinals, on a Youth Development Scheme, and he would then join the first team when he was old enough, and good enough. The “good enough” didn’t seem to matter as he had the potential to be as good as someone many years his elder. Jackson and his family thought thoroughly about this, before agreeing.

Soon after, Jackson was spoilt rotten by the Cardinals, getting new shoes and uniforms and clothes constantly. He was being written up about in newspapers by now, and was being called “Wonder Kid”. With all of this in his life, Jackson’s schoolwork suffered and at the age of 16, he dropped out of high school, with very few qualifications to his name. This didn’t bother him, as he was on the verge of making the Cardinals’ first team.

Relations between the Cardinals’ manager and Jackson’s family was very good, as they’d known each other for almost 5 years, since that freak incident when Jackson was 11. There was many a time where the coach would take Jackson and his siblings out, well, the ones who were still young enough to want to go out for ice cream and stuff. The coach was becoming more-and-more like a family member and was well-liked by most of the family.

However, there was one person who didn’t like the coach - Jackson’s dad, who seen the coach as a threat. Jackson’s dad soon turned to drink and very quickly developed a serious drinking problem. He would come crawling into the house very late, and when questioned by Jackson’s mum, he would proceed to beat her up. Jackson and his siblings often witnessed this, but did not do anything. This was soon becoming a regular thing that was happening, and soon the eldest two brother’s of the family stood up to their dad and got into a brawl with him,
with Jackson’s dad getting a broken nose, and the other two with burst lips and noses, respectively.

No matter how much any of them tried to stop it, their dad still beat up their mum. The coach soon stepped in once he started to see Jackson’s mum with regular black eyes, who always made excuses like falling down stairs and banging her head, which were obviously a cover-up. When confronted by the coach, Jackson’s dad simply said that it was none of his business and then punched him, fracturing the jaw of the Dodgers’ coach...

Jackson’s dad was put in a prison cell for 48 hours upon doing this, and a bitter relationship between Jackson’s dad and Jackson’s coach soon developed. Whenever one was in the house, the other one left, and so on. Constant arguments were caused when the two were in the house together, and often led to close brawls, which were separated by Jackson’s brothers, and Jackson.

Eventually, Jackson’s dad got up and left the family, without a father, and Jackson’s mum, without a husband. So, the obvious thing to do was for the coach to step in as the father figure, as he was rightfully respected by the family. Soon, the coach was also Jackson’s stepfather. With a new husband, Jackson’s mum sort of didn’t have much time for her children, and this caused the 2nd youngest of the boys, who was 17 and the older of the two sisters, who was 19, to run away from home. The heartache this caused really got to Jackson and he was often found at night, crying in his bed. His brother’s sometimes beat him up for this and told him to get a grip and be a man. Jackson just took the beatings, and didn’t fight back.

That next season, Jackson was the star pitcher for the Cardinals, and was making millions. Everything was great and his family no longer lived in the poverty of his youth. With girls on each arm, Jackson was living the life of a celebrity, and the Cardinals were having one of the best seasons they’d ever had. With only one game to go, the Cardinals were top of the league, by one point. A defeat against 2nd placed LA Dodgers would give the Dodgers the title.

So, on the night before the “Big Game”, as it was being referred to as, Jackson was out with his two elder brothers. After leaving a bar, they were walking along the street when they were approached by two guys, speaking in an accent that would suggest they were from LA or thereabouts. The two guys were set out
to force Jackson to through the match, for a large sum of money. Jackson resisted all offers, and it soon got violent. The two men started beating up Jackson, when his brothers intervened and the three of them soon starting beating up the two white guys. The police were driving past and stopped and got the three of them, with the two guys being taken to hospital.

As Jackson and his brothers were black, and the two guys were white, the police looked upon this as a racially motivated attack. It turned out that one of the guys had a fractured skull, as was the severity of the beating. The police then, because of this, arrested the three Adams’ brothers and they were sent to jail. The two elder brothers were given heavier sentences, of manslaughter, but Jackson was given a light punishment of GBH. Jackson got out of jail after a month.

Without their star player, the Cardinals failed to beat the Dodgers and the Dodgers therefore won the league. So obviously there was a lot of bitterness in the minds of fans, players, and more importantly, management. When Jackson got out, he was fired from the Cardinals and the manager divorced his mum. The “supposed” reason for this was because they didn’t want to have such a violent player on the team, but it was obviously not the real reason.

With Jackson being blamed for her mum and stepfather splitting up, her mum threw him out on the street. Jackson lived on the street for a few months, getting into several fights when the St. Louis locals realised who he was. After a few months, he met up with some people who introduced him to the underground scene.
He was paid to fight against people twice the weight of him, and regularly got beaten up. After a few months of that, with many broken bones and injuries, Jackson fled the underground lifestyle, with very little money, and stayed in a homeless unit.

He stayed there for quite a while, and whilst he was there, he was constantly out committing crimes, mainly petty things, like breaking into cars, stealing car radios, and selling them; or robbing people, however much he did it, he
never seemed to get caught. Jackson soon had quite a sum of money at his dispense, and with some people from
the Underground life he had left after him, looking for to complete some “unfinished business”, Jackson fled from St Louis to Texas, where he was found, homeless, by none other than Layton Cameron, a wealthy man from Ohio, who was in Texas for one reason - the TCW, which was a small mini-federation for the GWA.

It turned out that Layton “Crusher” Cameron, as he liked to be known, was in fact an ex-professional wrestler himself, and was the Talent Relations Manager for the new, up-and-coming federation called the GWA, fitting with the fact that he runs the talent mini-federation for the GWA, which was soon to open.

Layton clearly saw something special about Jackson, and some potential, and Jackson was soon training at the TCW, hoping to someday appear in the proposed GWA...Jackson was close friends with Layton and his family, and was doing very successful in the TCW. A few months after debuting, without any previous wrestling experience, whatsoever, Jackson became the Light-Heavyweight Champion of the TCW, and reigned successfully for 3 and a half months without ever looking like giving it up, and went down in TCW history as the Best-Ever, and
Most Successful, as well as Longest Reigning Light-Heavyweight Champion.

Once his 3 and a half month reign was over as Light-Heavyweight Champion, there didn’t seem like anything left for Jackson, who fought under the alias Kriminal, to do. The reasons behind Jackson’s choice of alias as Kriminal were not given by Jackson, but it is obvious why(!) Layton realised that there wasn’t anything
left for Jackson/Kriminal to do in the TCW, so he referred him to the GWA President, Clint DeVasher, who soon hired him. Just as Jackson/Kriminal was hired for the GWA, the GWA was close to opening, so he would have as equal a chance of getting off to a great start as anyone, as it was just starting up.

The rest of Jackson/Kriminal’s background is yet to be made, and the future is in his hands. Could he repeat the feat from the TCW, and become a long-reigning Light-Heavyweight Champion?, or will he do the same as he did at the Cardinals, and go far before throwing it all away??? Has he got the makings of a champion?

Kriminal will star as one of the best young light-heavyweights, no, wrestlers in the GWA...As you can see, he has come far from when he was living in poverty in St. Louis, to becoming one of the most talked about young
stars in modern Professional wrestling. Although it’s been full of ups and downs, it is clear that he has led a successful life up till now to get where he is...
