T.J. Brigg$ (Born 05-26-1980) in Santiago, Cuba. He is currently contracted to the TNA after his previous company (TNA:The New Era) had to shut its doors in 2004. Brigg$ goal is to shut down and finally kill his rivals in XWF once and for all. T.J. Brigg$ has been labeled the best wrestler alive for his outstanding technical, high flying and ability to blend into anyone elses style in the ring.
Early life[]
T.J. Brigg$ was born "Taylor James" on a cold winter morning, he developed the nicknames, "Teeg," "T-Man" or "Cuban Prince" at a young
age from his parents but he always rathered to be called, "T.J." He lived a harder life than most people, he lived in the ghettos of Cuba as a
child before his parents wanted a better life for him, so, they ended up moving him out of the country while it was being taken over by Castro
and T.J.'s mother and father wanted him to have a better life. He ended up being raised in Miami, FL most of his life but once he turned 20
years old, he moved to Orlando, FL. Even at the age of 3, T.J. always loved wrestling and idolized superstars such as Hulk Hogan, Ricky
Steamboat, Lou Thesz, Sting, etc. and found many tapes and began studying up on wrestling. He never had a true trainer, he learned
everything from watching tapes and did four years of amateur wrestling high school and also two years of MMA. He ended up finding small
promotions around the Florida area to train up but the real knowledge he found once he joined SWF where he found his best friend, who went
by the ring name, "Cruise." And that's when the legacy began.
Professional Wrestling[]
T.J. Brigg$, also known around the MSN Efed circuit as either Teeg, Teigan or Da Cuban Prince started his efed career as a small time jobber
under the name, "Red," showing respect to the high flyer 'The Amazing Red.' He ended up working all the way up to midcard status when he
found a federation called SWF and met a good friend in a wrestler called 'Cruise', they dominated all over the fed, that was the original place
T.J. worked on his technical and high flying skills under the name X-Rated, showing a darker side to T.J. T.J. began being screwed by SWF
staff, jealous of his abilities to out wrestle the staff so after he gained every title in the company, he did a live appearance where he burned all
the belts and the corporate building along with it and left with Cruise, SWF was never seen again. That was where T.J. gained an
'untrustworthy' reputation around the wrestling circuit and no one would contact him for indy bookings. T.J., decided to say 'screw it' and
opened up multiple feds under various names, one being WCW and another under ROH, neither took off and T.J. left wrestling for a couple
months before joining back up with multiple feds and met Chris Kash, Fate, J-Max, David Arana and Showtime, who later all became best
friends. T.J. ended up joining a popular fed at the time called XWF, T.J. gained a hatred for it's owners, showing similarity as SWF and many
thought he would destroy them too but T.J. decided to change his ways and become 'straight edge.' Brigg$ left quietly and formed a company
named TNA-The New Era with Co-Owner Chris Kash and Asst. Fate and David Arana. TNA began a long battle with XWF around the wrestling
circuit 'one-uping' each other, trading various superstars such as Chuck Alexander, J-Max, etc. For a good three years, TNA and XWF were the
only considered corporations that were considered the 'big two.' Then suddenly T.J. had to go on a leave of absence from the wrestling circuit
and after he returned, tried opening up a new fed called UWA which never took off. T.J. quietly retired after being named by multiple superstars
as 'The Best Wrestler Alive' after beating a superstar in another federation that was previously called 'The Best Wrestler Alive.' Teeg returned
after being away for three long years to reopen TNA as simply...TNA! Today TNA has returned and so has Teeg and we will see what the future
holds for the man known as T.J. Brigg$. Currently, T.J. Brigg$ announced coming out of retirement to do battle with his former rival company,
XWF, the company that shut down shortly after TNA's demise but came back to life after forming back together in the company known as IWE,
ran by former XWF members. The TNA Vs. XWF War has recently begun and we will see what the future holds for the two companies.
