In Rose's Own Words: "Well lets start off back years years ago. Cumberland
Maryland would be the spot and we have a small boy no
older than two years of age sits in a hospitol lobby
with his apparent Father. They are talking about a new
baby to come into this world."
"I can remember bits and peices of it as if it was
yesterday...my dad sat me on his knee and told
me,Justin soon your gonna have a little brother who
you get to grow up with. Taking care of him and
watching out for him. Little did he say about having
to do it on my own. Anyways my little brother Mykel
was born on that calm fall's night and I remember our
first few months together. Our parents didn't really
help much they left him cry in his baby crib and fed
him occasionally...the babysitter saved us many times
from damn near starving and what not. Her name was
Brenda and I love that woman as if she was my mother."
"But I can't remember exactly when the date was, I
know it was a year or so after Myke was born. They
dropped us off at a playground...me only three or so
years of age and told me to look after my 1 year old
little brother. So I did my best but Myke just cried
and cried and we sat in that park for hours upon
hours...as children and their parents left one by one
I got scared and held Myke in my arms sitting under
the jungle gym all night. It rained that next day but
I still sat there holding my baby bro close as a man
pulled up in a car. He stepped out and walked over
looking down at me as he knelt over, he said his name
was Richard and asking me what I was doing there. I
told him my parents ask me to watch my brother and
hadn't returned yet, after he asked how long they had
been gone I told him two days and he ask me to bring
my brother and come with him. So to get from this cold
rain I did...Myke and I drove with Richard to the
police department...they filed a report. My stepdad
Michael and my mother were in trouble for dropping us
off...since my real father George had died in a car
accident a year after I was born Michael had tried to
take his place...so the police then filed it the case
of Adams and Rose. We were orphans and Richard said
the police would take care of us and left that day."
"We never saw him for years. Myke and I were even
seperated that day by the police...Myke only a 1 year
old baby was sent to a nice home for young young baby
boys. I was sent to live in a foster home with a man
and his wife. Were I lived til I was of the age 6 then
they had to get rid of me my temper and bad attitude
made them unable to deal with me so I went to a
catholic boys home and they taught me about god and
sorts...cleaned up my outlook on life. That was until
Richard came back. He had been searching for us for
years, I was 7 now and he had Myke with him now 5
years of age. It was great to see both of them...funny
thing was Richard had adopted Myke a year ago and they
had been looking for me. Turned out when Myke was old
enough to go to foster care no one wanted him so he
bounced from home to home til Richard got him. I was
so happy to see those papers filled out."
"So we went with Richard, he took us in...finally
someone cared about me. Sad fact was after years of
baseball games, movies, and every thing you could do
fun, like video games trips to the beach...Richard
took us to do it all...his wife died...our foster
mother. I was 16 then and Myke 14. Myke took it hard
she was his one and only confidence...the only person
he truely trusted. He came close to suicide then it
was bad and he got back into his long forgotten anger
issues. He was so mean and cold it was scary but
Richard and I kept trying to show we were there for
him and he slightly opened to us. But that wasn't it
then we moved out of Cumberland looking for work...one
night when I was 19 or so we were going with Richard
to a wrestling show of all things. We really loved it
and I even ran into a beautiful woman named Danine. We
hit it off great as Myke ignored us the whole time
loving what he saw, loving the wrestling."
"We decided to give it a shot no wrestling school
experience at all. Myke was really small at 17 and me
too at 19...but we managed to use it as we learned to
dive at opponents and to use our bodies as weapons.
Richard taught us that he was infact something we
never knew, a former wrestler. But he taught us and we
went indie. Myke did great in the indies winning some
respect here and there as I was signed to a big TV
promotion known as ACWO...they forced me to wear face
paint and go in known as Grimskull...but I did it. I
hit it off okay winning tag team gold with a friend
Dan,aka Executioner and then a North American Title as
well...but Myke however shined he was brought in a
month after me as Snake-Eyes under a black mask. His
high flying won the crowds and his talent got him a
ACWO Television title, he followed that up winning a
huge tournament and then the ACWO World title. But he
didn't hold it long and we got fed up unmasking as
Myke Adams and Justin Rose, no more Snake and Grim,
crowds loved it for our short stint as ACWO Tag
champions...but we moved on..."
"RWF that is and Danine and I had moved on well to we
were ingaged a few weeks into Myke and my RWF careers.
We got tag titles shots our second match and sure
enough won em. We were proud to be RWF tag champs and
we held em for three months as everyone knows
undefeated for our whole career until one match...our
buddy Colin stabbed us in the back nailing me with a
cast to give Drake Macon a cheap win over us then our
career faded Brian Slack fired us and we went to
ECWF...won a few matches and left to take some time
off trying to enjoy life. But RWF ask us back,
actually Richard did so we went back and jumped some
guys got new contracts and that is where we are today.
I know this was a choppy story but atleast now you
know kinda what we went through, it wasn't easy wasn't
fun...but we got the job done....time to live life.As
we say go extreme or go home...but for Myke and I we
have no true home...so EXTREME is our life!" |
