Early life

Hardie's parents divorced when he was a child and he spent time between the two households, living a "sheltered" life and developing his imagination by reading comic books and watching cartoons. [1] Hardie's father is a San Antonio DJ. [1] He has two sisters, who are both around ten years older than him. [1] At the age of ten, Hardie first saw professional wrestling, when he was invited to a friend's house, where World Championship Wrestling (WCW) was on the television. [1] Hardie was immediately fascinated by professional wrestling, particularly the high-flying luchadores. [1] After high school, he decided to pursue a career in professional wrestling. [1]

In October 2019, Hardie was involved in a controversy after WWE launched a Jordan Myles t-shirt, which depicted his name surrounded by the shape of a mouth, said to be inspired by The Rolling Stones logo. However, the design received accusations, including from Hardie, that it resembled blackface. [94] WWE changed the t-shirt and published a note stating Hardie gave his approval to the design. [95] After that, Hardie published a series of tweets accusing WWE of racism. Hardie would also accuse his former employer Ring of Honor (ROH) of racism, calling former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal (who is also African-American) an "Uncle Tom". [96] Hardie's comments towards Lethal received criticism from wrestling legends like Booker T, who noted that Hardie over-reacted with his aggressive comments, specifically targeting Lethal, Triple H and Vince McMahon. [97] WWE wrestler Titus O'Neil said he agreed with Hardie about the t-shirt, but not how he brought others into his frustrations. [98] Hardie subsequently apologized for his overreaction, but nonetheless claimed he would not take back his comments. [99] On November 13, Hardie posted a profanity-laden video, exclaiming that he quit WWE, and stated that he "refused to work for racists", and that Jordan Myles was his "slave name". [100] On November 21, WWE officially announced that Hardie was released from his contract, as Hardie subsequently announced several indie dates. [101]

[105] However, Hardie made his return on December 29, 2019, during an Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment event. [106] He also participated on some events of Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), where he won the DDT's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship from Joey Janela. [107] [108] [109]
