Professional wrestling career
Jocephus began his wrestling career in 2010. In the same year, he won his first title, the USWO Heavyweight Championship, a title in which he would win at least four times.[1]
In 2012, Jocephus began wrestling in Resistance Pro. On November 23, 2013, he defeated Robert Anthony to win the RPW Heavyweight Championship.[2] On May 16, 2014, Anthony and Jocephus defeated Da Soul Touchaz (Acid Jaz & Willie Richardson) to win the RPW Tag Team Championship.[3] He would also win the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship twice around this time.[1]
In 2018, the NWA briefly allied with Impact Wrestling, the former TNA, to hold an Empty Arena match at Universal Orlando in Orlando, Florida. It was contested by Tim Storm and Jocephus and served as a qualifier to challenge then-NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis. The match was recorded on January 14, 2018, in which Jocephus defeated Storm.[4][5] On April 27, 2019, at the Crockett Cup, Jocephus teamed up with Jay Bradley, losing a seven-team battle royal to the Wildcards (Royce Isaacs & Thom Latimer) with the winner qualifying as the last entrant for the Crockett Cup tournament.[6][7] By October, Hudson began wrestling under the new ring name the Question Mark.[8][9]
