Fall of Jack Jameson

Texas indy wrestling scene have become a hot bed. Wrestlers honing their craft for years making their name in the state are getting booked outside the state or even Japan to showcase their talent to getting tryouts and in that rare case got the call to the big time. Then there was one who could have been a name in the state, but made mistakes and is known in a negative light. That one wrestler is Jack Jameson. He went up to Canada training in Lance Storm wrestling school. He returned back to showcase his skills working in Oklahoma then in Houston before settling in Austin. While raw he showed charisma around the ring and kept working hard fans took notice and cheered for him. Out of the ring it was different story as he became a nuclear heat magnet. It relates to becoming a different person after having way too many drinks. It didn't take long for him to get blackballed from various indy feds around the state especially Austin area. Then he made the one move that will hang over his head like a dark cloud: in a drunken haze he faked cancer to get with a girl. Story of the incident spread through the locker room that a prominent Texas wrestler confronted him about it. He denied it claiming he doesn't remember because he was drinking and out of it. He finally admitted to it a year later when another prominent Texas wrestler confronted him about it. The damage was done as friends became ex-friends and few refuse do business with him. At same time his drinking was getting uncontrollable. After multiple chances the last fed in the Austin area decide to no longer book him effectively getting blackballed from wrestling in the area. Instead of keeping quiet he decide to air out his grievance on social media in a now-deleted post. It didn't take long for the fed to get a wind of it. They replied posting a damning conversation they had between them that one of area bookers shared it calling him unbookable. He was booked for a few various shows outside the state, but the faking cancer story reared its ugly head that feds stop booking him. With his bookings dried up he hit rock bottom and went silent on his social media accounts for over six months. He recently pop back up announced he spent the six months of silence in alcohol rehab to sober himself up and planning on a comeback. At same time he admitted his past mistakes.

Jack Jameson is one of many cautionary tales in wrestling. He could have been a name in Texas in a positive way. Instead he kept making mistakes after mistakes and he buried himself deep in the wrong. It's his time to bounce back, but will he understand this his last chance? Last words he replied when a fed told him they're no longer booking him was "I understand" and he turned it around. There's no turning back for him.
