Trained in the legendary Hart Dungeon under the meticulous guidance of WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart himself, Jabari captured the coveted Oceanic Championship during the electrifying 2025 Chris Jericho Rock'n'Roll Wrestling Rager at Sea.

The wrestling prodigy's star continues to rise meteorically in 2025, with impressive performances across AEW, ROH, Maple Leaf Pro, Qatar Pro Wrestling, and NWA. His exceptional talent hasn't gone unnoticed by the industry's biggest players, with WWE's Triple H personally extending a tryout invitation to the young competitor.

Such is Jabari's connection to wrestling royalty that the legendary Bret Hart once described him as "my fifth son" — high praise from one of the sport's most discerning technical masters. Beyond the squared circle, "Kid Chocolate" recently showcased his crossover appeal by starring alongside Chris Jericho in the wrestling-horror film "Dark Match."
