A Survivor’s Story: BLK JEEZ
BLK JEEZ’S INCREDIBLE STORY OF FORTITUDE & PERSEVERANCE
There are ‘rough years,’ then there’s the year BLK Jeez has faced!
Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April 2023, Jeez gallantly fought to return to the ring. Finally medically cleared to compete at January’s National Wrestling Alliance Signature Live Event Paranoia, things took another dramatic turn for the cancer survivor.
On January 11, just days before his scheduled 2024 comeback in Ft. Lauderdale, Jeez was attacked by four masked men. The superstar was shot in the hip during an attempted carjacking before fending the assailants off with his own, legally-registered firearm.
“His strength and resilience have inspired us all,” said NWA President William Patrick Corgan of the brave grappler at the time. “We eagerly await his return to the NWA ring.
Though his wounds were not life-threatening, and Jeez valiantly fought to return as planned, he was again shelved to recover. However, reports indicate the courageous competitor is once again cleared for action.
When Jeez was last seen in the NWA, he’d formed a relationship with EC3 to challenge Tyrus for the World’s Heavyweight title. His biggest mark has been leading others’ careers under The Church’s Money Enterprises.
After fighting so hard to again compete in the sport he loves so dearly, it’s possible Jeez’s focus has changed. Could this never-say-die warrior be looking to wear NWA gold all his own?
Time will certainly tell!
