His Story:

Gordon was born on August 21, 1958, to Reuben and Edra (Geckles) Chacko, in Cincinnati, OH. Reuben was a barge worker on the Ohio River. Edra taught Kindergarten at Frederick Douglass Elementary School. Gordon is the fourth of seven children. His three older siblings were a set of triplets. He grew up to play football for Walnut Hills High School as a cornerback and wide receiver. As a junior, he received scholarship offers from Miami University of Ohio, Mississippi State, Ohio State University and University of Louisville. After great deliberation (and several fist fights with his father and stepfather), he decided to get as far away from Cincinnati as he could. He took the scholarship to Mississippi State University. He graduated from Walnut Hills in 1976.

While at MSU, he was grouped with Lewis Tacey, Lester Paolini and Brent Cobain as his roommates. Brent left after their freshman year when he got married. The closeness of the four athletes allowed them to be brought into the MVW. They came into the ring as the masked Wolf Pack. All four wore black suits with their particular color down the sides of their mask and suit. Despite having a full scholarship, Gordon convinced them to take the job for “party money”. Gordon graduated from Mississippi State in December 1980.

The refusal of the MVW to give him a title shot outside of his two-and-a-half month Mississippi State Heavyweight Title reign. He begrudged having to share title reigns in the Tag Team and Six-Man Division with his roommates. April 5, 1981 was the last straw. Gordon was jobbed again to J.T. Green. Gordon was tired of being jobbed to guys who weren't as athletically gifted as he was. He convinced Lewis and Lester to leave as well.

While at MSU, Gordon met Dorothy Wall. They married on January 6, 1980. Gordon and Dorothy had seven children between 1981 and 1984. As multiples ran in his family, they had two sets of twins and a set of triplets. In 1981, Gordon was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was cut in the final round of cuts for the regular season roster. In 1982, he tried out for the San Fransisco 49ers, but they refused to sign him. With the birth of their triplets in May 1983, Gordon found himself working during the day at Target and during the night at Walmart. In 1985, he tried again with the New Orleans Saints but met with the same results. Seven years after leaving the MVW, Gordon was cut once again by the Houston Oilers.

Being unable to sustain his family, he came back to Arnold to beg for a position in the MVW. Arnold would only allow Gordon to come back as a jobber. Arnold's offered contract had the guaranteed title reign clause blacked out. In order to get his wrestling career back on track, Gordon would have to swallow his pride and do the one thing that made him leave the MVW in the first place.

Saddled with the rejection, Gordon attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. He was placed in the psychological ward for observation for a week afterward. Dorothy threatened to leave him if he didn't take the MVW contract. It wasn't the best, but the money was better and the work was less taxing on the family. Gordon refused. Dorothy and their seven kids moved out on October 23, 1988. The divorce became final on May 5, 1989. Gordon shot himself in the head the next morning.

His Story:

Gordon was born on August 22, 1958, to Clifford and Marissa (Schmidt) James in Savannah, GA. He graduated from Windsor Forest High School in 1976. He was an all-Georgia defensive lineman for the Knights all four years of high school. He was recruited to play college football by almost all of the SEC and ACC colleges. He decided to go to the University of South Carolina. Gordon was expelled from South Carolina after he partied too much after the Gamecocks' 18-17 win over Ole Miss on October 21, 1978.

After losing his scholarship, he left school and trained to be an over-the-road truck driver. He was an independent owner-operator based out of Savannah. Not being able to handle the constant scrutiny of family and friends, Gordon moved to Florence, AL in January 1979. One of his first jobs out of the Florence area was to carry the ring equipment from Tupelo to Jackson for the monthly show.

After the February 4, 1979 Jackson card, Gordon broke up a fight between Mr. Tennessee and Grappler. Slamming both men up against the side of the trailer, he held them until Arnold and Jason arrived. Both men were impressed by his brute power. They wondered if they'd be able to work on some finesse with him. They were afraid that he might just be a powerful brute with no actual skill. Gordon surprised them with his great athletic skill.

Gordon became friends with A.J. Adams and 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal. Regal mentored Gordon until August 1980 when he left the MVW. Gordon walked into the biggest tag team feud in MVW history. After Grappler turned on Seth Greeley, Gordon made himself available as a tag team partner. Once the tag team of Mississippi's Most Wanted was formed, the entire history of wrestling was changed. They wrestled together for the next nineteen years with the most of their matches being against Sensational Excellence.

Throughout his wrestling career, Gordon was the main trucker for the MVW. After he retired from the ring, he continued to be the main trucker for the MVW throughout Mississippi until the MVW closed. After the MVW folded, Gordon also retired from over-the-road truck driving.

He never married, but he had a girlfriend in just about every town the MVW wrestled in. No wife. No kids. Just a basset hound to help him pass the days. Quite the sad life now.

His Story:

April was born to Lt William and PO2 Patricia (Patterson) Bronk on May 8, 1957, in Pearl Harbor, HI. In 1960, William was transferred to NAS Norfolk and assigned as the Communications Officer of the USS Albemarle. Patricia was a nurse and was assigned to the Naval Hospital. In 1965, the family was transferred to Naval Base San Diego. In 1971, the family was once again transferred to NSA New Orleans.

Tired of moving every few years, April ran away from home in March 1973. She caught the “City of New Orleans” and rode it until she was thrown off the train for not having a ticket at Centralia, IL. Faced with a daunting dilemma, she decided to hitch-hike to St. Louis instead of Chicago. While looking for some work that didn't involve street-walking, she found herself working at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel as a housekeeper. After one of the Wrestling at the Chase tapings, she ran into George Abel in the hallway. Thinking he had tried to cop a feel, she judo threw him down the hallway. Impressed with the young woman's power, he talked with Ted DiBiase and Harley Race. They began training her to be a wrestler. She wrestled her first match on June 6, 1973 against Paula Kaye.

While still working at the Chase, she met Gideon Fierros, a recent graduate of St. Louis University, working at A.G. Edwards. On October 13, 1974, they were married after finding out that she was pregnant. Shortly after the marriage, April took a three-year leave from NWA St. Louis. She continued to work at the Chase in the housekeeping department during those years.

On February 28, 1975, Gideon and April's first son, Antonio (Phantom), was born at St. Mary's Hospital in St. Louis. On December 15, 1976, their second son, Russell (Russell 'Rusty Nail' Nelson), was born at St. John's Mercy Hospital.

Days later, Gideon was laid off from A.G. Edwards. He moved back near his family. They moved to Memphis, where Gideon found a job in the Accounting sector of FedEx. When Gideon's brother Wesley began wrestling with the MVW, the wrestling juices began to flow in April as well. Since there was very little women wrestling in Memphis, she branched out to the MVW.

She signed her wrestling contract on October 1, 1978. Posing as a food worker, she becomes involved in the match between Amy Andrews and Jessica Greeley on October 19. She attacked Jessica and put her out of action for four months. Continuing her wrestling career, she feuded with Jessica, Amy Andrews and Supergirl. April wrestled her last professional match on August 29, 1999, against 'Zealous' Zena.

After retiring from the ring, April and Gideon opened a bed and breakfast outside Tupelo. Of course their busiest weeks are around the celebration of Elvis' birth and death.

His Story:

Wesley was born on March 27, 1954, to Joseph and Grace (Adams) Fierros in Tupelo, MS. He is the third of four children. Joseph was an HVAC technician. Grace is a stay-at-home mom. He graduated 38th in his class from Tupelo High School in 1972. As a freshman, he began apprenticing to be a plumber. In 1975, he became a journeyman. In the same year, his father welcomed Chad Young as a journeyman HVAC technician.

In 1977, he and Chad started CW's Plumbing and HVAC. They met Arnold in 1978 as they came to inspect the furnace at MVW's headquarters.

While Chad had very little trouble figuring out a gimmick, Wesley couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. It was actually Amy Andrews who came up with the idea of Joe Blow. Wesley looked like your average everyday man. She suggested the idea of simply an everyday guy. Wesley added the plumber look, wielding a crescent wrench.

He married Celicia Williams on October 16, 1979 at Northeast Church of Christ in Tupelo. Their son Wesley Jr. (Dance Machine) was born on March 3, 1981.

In the summer of 1996, Chad decided that he wanted to quit wrestling. Wesley wanted to continue. He hadn't done much in the way of singles wrestling. Everything had revolved around Ghetto Gang as one of the most dominant tag teams of the previous two decades. Finally, in October, Wesley agreed that he would retire too instead of trying to find another tag team partner. While Chad put wrestling behind him for the most part, Wesley continued to be an avid supporter. The fact that he had several nephews involved helped garner his continued support.

As of 2010, Wesley and Celicia were still married and living in Tupelo. He and Chad continue to run CW's. He has plans of retiring when the coroner pries his crescent wrench from his cold, dead hand.

His Story:

Chad was born to Cooper and Deborah (Hyde) Young on August 9, 1954 in Tupelo, MS. His father was a journeyman electrician. His mother taught fourth grade at Lawndale Elementary School. Chad was an average student throughout school. He never made studying a priority. College wasn't a goal for him. He was going to become an electrician like his father. He was very skilled with his hands. His best class at Tupelo High School was shop.

After graduation, he was dropped from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in his second year of his apprenticeship. His Master Electrician trainer refused to work with him. He claimed the young man was too hot-headed to become a good electrician. After a couple months, he was picked up for another apprenticeship with a Master HVAC technician belonging to the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). His Master HVAC technician was Joseph Fierros. During his apprenticeship, he became good friends with Joseph's son Wesley (Joe Blow). Wesley was undergoing an apprenticeship as a plumber.

After both men became journeymen in 1975, they pooled their resources to begin CW's Plumbing and HVAC. They met Arnold when they came to fix the furnace system at the MVW Headquarters in Tupelo. Arnold asked the two if they might have any aspirations of becoming wrestlers. They thought it over during the job. They agreed to a six-month contract to try it out. They wanted just matches around the Tupelo area so that they were still able to keep their day jobs.

When the MVW expanded into Tennessee, Chad and Wesley tried to keep up, but the long drives back to Tupelo made their mornings come extra early. They finally invoked their “local” contract clause after giving up the Tennessee State Tag Titles to Mississippi's Most Wanted on December 6, 1980. When asked by Arnold why they did it that way, they replied that they didn't like the way the match was supposed to end. It created more of a rivalry with the Ghetto Gang's ending. The rivalry never happened as Mississippi's Most Wanted continued to be primarily entangled against Sensational Excellence.

Chad made up his mind to quit wrestling during the summer of 1996. It took some doing to convince Wesley, who had family in the MVW as well, but they decided to make an end of it at the end of 1996. They worked themselves up through October and November into a quick feud with the Friends in Low Places. The feud ended when Ghetto Gang lost a Loser Leaves MVW match on December 26.

As of 2010, Chad was still married to his wife Maria. They had one son, Christopher, who would debut in the MVW as The Nightmare in 1998. Chad and Wesley still run CW's Plumbing and HVAC. Plans are in the works for the Youngs to retire by 2014 and move to Panama City, FL.

His Story:

A.J. is the second-born and oldest son of Arnold and Ethel Adams. He is the younger twin of Amy (Adams) Andrews. A.J. grew up watching his father work his way up through the wrestling ranks in the NWA Gulf Coast. He knew from a very early age how burdensome the life of a professional wrestler could be. Even with this knowledge, the only thing A.J. wanted to do when he grew up was be a professional wrestler.

A.J. tried to develop ground support for a wrestling team at Rosa Fort High School in Tunica. While unsuccessful in his attempt, he continued to seek out wrestling opportunities to wrestle someone other than his brothers and sister. He also played basketball as the Lions' shooting guard. After graduating from high school, A.J. went on to the University of Mobile. He majored in Physical Education.

Unlike his twin sister, A.J. was very popular among his classmates, especially among the young women. During his sophomore year of high school, he began dating Tammy Hyde (Dr. Jackyl). Tammy became pregnant after a very successful game against the Blount High School Leopards in December 1973. In response to the pregancy, Daniel and Monica Hyde demanded that A.J. and Tammy marry. The wedding occurred on June 24, 1974, at the Horn Lake Missionary Baptist Church. Their son, Arnold III (Angel of Death), was born on September 2, 1974.

When the MVW started, A.J. (along with Andrew) petitioned Arnold to be a referee. On March 23, 1978, A.J. refereed his first official match between his father and Mr. Tennessee. Mr. Tennessee, being the consummate heel, ripped A.J. for being a pawn in his father's schemes to make sure that he was the greatest wrestler in the MVW. Mr. Tennessee wins the match, with Arnold being pinned. A.J. continued to referee rather often until August 1981, when he left the referee ranks to focus more on his successful wrestling career. He was replaced by Cooper Young.

A.J.'s wrestling career began as he came to the ring to rescue his father from being brutalized by Jason James. A.J. wound up being bloodied as well. He demanded a wrestling contract to avenge himself and his father against James. On December 7, 1981, A.J. wrestled in his first match, earning a disqualification win in less than a minute. The match continued into a brawl which would only be broken up after the Canby Twins and Argonauts got involved.

A.J. continued wrestling and tag teaming with his father until August 7, 1980, when he shocked the MVW by turning heel and becoming the tag team partner of his greatest rival, Mr. Hyde. A.J. had been feuding with Mr. Hyde from very early in Hyde's wrestling career. A.J. was the first to pin Hyde, ending his 53-match winning streak. That match (June 5, 1980) became known as the “Kiss Her on the Lips” match. Before every match, Mr. Hyde would dismiss his manager, Dr. Jackyl, by quickly pecking her on the cheek. A.J. got the crowd started with a chant of “Kiss her on the lips!” Hyde got furious at the beginning of the match and even refused to peck Jackyl (who is his sister). A.J. took matters into his own hands and kissed Jackyl firmly on the mouth. The true relationships between the three wouldn't come out until 1984, right before A.J. left for a six-month contract with Maple Leaf Wrestling in Toronto.

When the WWF took over Maple Leaf Wrestling, A.J.'s presence was greatly diminished. He came back in September 1984 to resume his feud with his brother-in-law (Mr. Hyde). He continued wrestling until May 29, 1999. He retired from the ring after his final match against Dance Machine.

As of 2010, A.J. was teaching physical education and driver's education for Fayette-Ware High School in Somerville, TN.

His Story:

Andrew was born to Arnold and Ethel (Roybal) Adams on July 8, 1961. He is the third child of the Adams clan. A.J. and Amy are two years older. Aaron is twelve years younger. Andrew did favor being with A.J. and Amy more than Aaron. Just after Aaron was born, Ethel moved the family to Tunica, MS. He began his eighth grade year at Tunica Middle School. In 1979, he graduated from Rosa Fort High School as the valedictorian of his class.

Andrew was a hard-working young man who refused to settle for simple yard work as employment. After trying a few of the area businesses, Andrew asked his father what it would take to become a wrestling referee. A.J. overheard the conversation and asked the same question for himself.

Arnold trained both of them during the first two weeks of the MVW. They were finally qualified as referees after each refereeing four practice matches (three singles, one tag team). Andrew was the first of the Adams clan to don the referee shirt as his first official match was March 23, 1978 with Argonaut #1 facing Travis Canby. Andrew became known as a very level-headed referee.

This reputation became tainted on August 30, 1979, when Thresa Gwynn (Helena Handbasket) faced his sister Amy. Andrew had had a crush on Tonya and been working up the nerve to ask her out. He finally worked up the nerve that night to ask her out. When she said yes, the two began making out backstage. Arnold caught the two while searching for Andrew who was supposed to be in the ring refereeing the match between Tom the Trucker and 'Excellent' Xavier Cross. Andrew said he'd trade with Jackson for the next match that he had. That happened to be the Women's Title match. The match was a sheer travesty and went down in MVW history as the worst match ever wrestled. Thresa made sure to tease, taunt and flirt with Andrew at any and every point during the match. Before going for the Handbasket Slam, Thresa yanked on Amy's hair, causing Andrew to reprimand her. She whispered something in his ear. She hit the Handbasket Slam and Andrew gave the quickest three-count in MVW history. To this day, neither will admit to what was actually said during the match.
In the fallout of that match, Andrew continued to referee very biasedly in matches concerning Thresa. On May 9, 1981, Andrew was relieved of his referee duties after not making many calls that should have been made in the MVW Heavyweight Title match between 'Nature Boy' Nate Harris and 'Disco' Dominic Donovan. The match was not billed as a no-disqualification match, but Andrew allowed Harris (who had been recently injured by Donovan) to bend and break the rules whenever he wanted. Donovan complained to the MVW officials after the match and Andrew's referee license was pulled. Arnold also gave Donovan a Chain match against Andrew at the next card.

Andrew took the rest of 1981 off from wrestling. In character, he threw a fit in the ring after the chain match and refused to wrestle any more until his father gave him a better contract. In his personal life, Thresa, whom he married on October 3, 1980, had many problems with her pregnancy. Being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at nineteen weeks, Thresa was consigned to bed rest in June. Their son Adrian was born via emergency c-section on December 19, 1981, a month before he was due. He spent two months in the NICU at the St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis.

Andrew came back to wrestling in the MVW in March 1982. As part of his “renegotiated” contract, Andrew was forced to start at the bottom of the roster and defeat everyone on the roster within the calendar year or else face expulsion from the MVW for life. While Andrew did not have the success rate that Mr. Hyde had as he joined MVW, Andrew did manage to defeat 'Nature Boy' Nate Harris on December 23, dethroning the MVW Heavyweight champion who had held the belt since February 1981.

Andrew continued to wrestle until July 31, 2002, when he retired after his match against Buzzkill. After retiring from the ring, Andrew started to manage his son in the ring. That arrangement didn't last too long. Andrew left the MVW and began to drink heavily. Thresa filed a restraining order against him in October 2006. She filed for divorce in January 2007 and it was finalized in October of that year. Andrew continued to drink heavily until November 22, 2007 (Thanksgiving). He was heading to his father's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Driving drunk, he ran into a car three blocks away. The drivers of both cars were killed instantly in the crash. The driver of the other was his aunt Claudia, who was also making her way to Arnold's.
