“Tigerheart” Rally Jackson · 6’2” · 241 pounds · from Rio de Janeiro · Handler: Jesse Ralph

Rally Jackson was born in Rio de Janiero, Brazil on March, 1970 to a mother he never met and a father he may as well have never met. He grew up very wealthy with his father being a very prominent political figure down in Brazil. But at the age of 15, his father was murdered for very mysterious reasons with no known motive or suspects. Except one. Rally, himself, was convicted of the murder... but I assure you he had nothing to do with it. Rally was a cocky bastard and he hated the guy but he wouldn't hurt a soul.

He spent the next ten years of his life in prison and eventually was released on parole. In prison, he shared the majority of his cell time with a certain Drunk Funk who taught him the arts of capoeira and wrestling. Upon his release, Rally a man that had no other talent besides politics being a spoiled kid his entire life, did the one thing he could do. He fought. He started with bare knuckle fighting. He couldn't be stopped with his multi-dimensional fighting style and was the best at what he did. But that just wasn't cutting it. That wasn't making him the money he needed. Remember, he grew up in the upper class so he wasn't used to "just making it".

Rally made it big during a tour of Japan where he ran into a Luke Van Dam and a Justin Cancada who were starting an independent promotion of their own and offered Rally a deal. Rally accepted and it was off to America where he resided in Greenwich, CT. Funny story, he wrestled in his first match and lost in 12 seconds to a girl. At this time, there were an abundance of indy promotions starting up and this one was just not making the money. After three months, it collapsed. But by this time, Rally had been spotted by other independents and inked multiple deals. He had a full work load and was making the kind of money he was accustomed to. This was a good bad thing, though. He was making money, but the constant travelling overworked him.

Rally also wised up and got himself sponsored as a wrestler by a Financial Empire. And Jackson made so much money for this empire that they decided to do him a favor. See this empire was not only prosperous, but a little sketchy, too. They had friends in very low places and were able to flush out Rally's fathers murderer in no time at all. Needless to say, the perpetrators are now somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.

Eventually, Rally decided to settle down and compete in only a select few promotions. It was originally LWA and SCWF where he competed regularly on the upper part of the card, but never won the top prize. He broke through in wrestling in IEUW with a hevay upset over Mystic. His first world title came in the CNWL, a spinoff to another promotion he had competed in, CNWF. He was a three time world champion for an independent wrestling promotion in Massachusettes called EULW and also a three time world champion for a heavy on the wrestling/light on the sports entertainment powerhouse called Hardkore World. He has also notably competed in UIW (in which he was also editor for their magazine), BBW, CWF, NECW, Midwest Wrestling Alliance, and FWWF in his career.

Along the way, Rally has opened his own wrestling school down in Brazil and it has also spread to NYC, LA, and Hartford, CT called the Tiger's Den. He owns his own wrestling promotion, Hardkore Lucha Libre. And finally, his latest business venture is to start his own restaurant chain, the Rally Rally Cafe.
