Jonathan Rapture

I was born in the jungles of Western Samoa on the outskirts of Leone near the market of Apia. My mother was a young native girl of just 16 years of age when my daddy came a courtin'. My daddy was a Baptist missionary at the time. He was on mission to preach some good ole fire & brimstone fear into the Godless, savage hearts on them islands. While courtin my momma he managed to draw the ire of her six, rather robust, unruly brothers... but seein' as how my daddy could fight with his feet (he'd been taught the lethal marital art of Penkak Silat by a direct descendant of Bapak Sera while working as missionary to heathens in Java) he made quite an impression (many, many impressions) on them boys... big or not. So, after handlin' himself that way my Daddy got his way like he always does and thus.... about 9 months later I entered this world as my parents love child on April 17th, 1974, bearin' the Christian name - Jonathan Barabus Rapture.My momma, God rest her soul, was fatally bitten by a rattler during a snake handlin' ritual when I was just one and a half years old ...so when the good Lord came a callin' for Daddy to preach his Holy Ghost power somewheres else he up and moved and took me with em. My daddy was gettin' called to all four corners of the this wretched, sinful world and thems places wasn't no place for a youngen so my grandaddy n nanna took me in.My granfolks lived in the heart of the bible belt just outside of Jackson, Mississipp. My granddad was one a nem good ole boys, always with a beer in his hand and fire in his belly. Before he passed on his friends used to call him Pappy. One a my fondest memories of them days was when I was 9 years old. Me and Pappy rode up to the fairgrounds where I sat n took in my first pro wrasslin match. I was mesmerized... baptized by the fury of violence. Something powerful came over me on that day. From that day on I was hell on wheels. I was expelled from 5 schools in 4 years... got in trouble for everything from fist fights, to chasing girls around the playground with a dead fish. I didn't stop there... /FONT
