Greg Tibbs grew up in the deep South, where he primarily worked mechanic-type jobs.  One day about eight years ago he was involved in a bar fight in St. Louis. It just so happened that the man he was brawling with was Fred Abbott, the brother of then-USXWF owner Henry Abbott. When Henry came to bail his brother out, he met Greg and talked to him about wrestling.

Greg became the independent USXWF's biggest star. He was courted by several
other promotions, particularly Eric Bischoff and WCW, but he stayed with Abbott out of loyalty. When the Founding Five bought USXWF and it became as huge as it did, Tibbs was ousted as champion and Rico Laser brought in as the new corporate symbol. Since then, Tibbs has been soured. He no longer holds the same respect he did for Abbott or the company. He sees all of USXWF as the Man trying to keep him down, and has spent the past few months since the sale of USXWF destroying opponents he feels are the epitome of the white middle class that has kep him and his family down their entire lives.
