Born in a small town in Connecticut Hubert spent the majority of his early life training to become a boxer. This career choice was inspired by the infamous boxer rebellion of China. Hubert was training with Rocky Balboa until Rocky left him to pursue the filming of Rocky 18: Fight for Middle Earth. Hubert was left all alone with no trainer and was forced to train himself. This was done by beating up little kids and then stealing their lunch money. This skill to beat people to a bloody pulp was noticed by several minor league wrestlers in the Minneapolis area and thus Hubert was sent to train and wrestle with the Twin City Wrestling Association (TCWA).
