All About The Thumper
Stephon Smith was allotted the opportunity to begin his training in Maryland under DJ Hyde in the beginning of 2007. It's with this knowledge that he furthered his training, having the privilege of training with legends such as Steve Corino and Les Thatcher. In October 2009 to June 2010, Stephon was privileged to train with Justin Richards, Jon Ritchie, and "Coach" Adam Mansfield in the United Kingdom under the LDN Wrestling & JRSW (Justin Richards School of Wrestling) banners. It's during this time that Stephon honed his craft with LDN Wrestling traveling extensively throughout England and Wales.
In The Beginning...
Stephon Smith didn't choose professional wrestling. Professional wrestling chose Stephon Smith. Growing up with a father who traveled the road as a truck driver much like the stars he grew to love, professional wrestling stuck with Stephon to remind him of his father. Watching wrestling on television in a family environment soon became Stephon's way of remembrance.​​
Stephon's fascination with the sport and grandiose characters soon grew to a love and a passion of its own. At the age of 17, during his last year of high school Stephon decided to embark on his journey to become involved in professional wrestling. And so the story began....
The Middle: Training & The UK
Stephon began his training under DJ Hyde in Maryland in the beginning of 2007. It's here that he learned the basics of what it took to become a professional wrestler. Later that year in September he went onto college but his love of professional wrestling caused him to return home at the prospect of training under Steve Corino. This proved to be fruitful as he not only was allotted the opportunity to train and learn from Steve Corino but was given the chance to wrestle him as well. During his time back home he was also privileged to train with Les Thatcher.​​
In September 2009, Stephon decided to break the mold and chose to study abroad in the United Kingdom for a school year. It was here that he was able to train and learn from Justin Richards, Jon Ritchie, and Adam Mansfield during his tenure with LDN Wrestling. While with LDN Wrestling he traveled extensively around the United Kingdom and Wales wrestling in some of the UK's most famous venues.
The Journey Continues...
In June of 2010, Stephon returned home and has since graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology while continuing to wrestle for various promotions up and down the east coast. The journey hasn't ended but it continues today....
