It might be a band you like who go from supporting other artists in dingy clubs and go on to sell out arenas, or it might be a stand-up comedian who goes from performing in local pubs to being on TV every week. Well I'm telling you right now, get all in on Jordon Breaks, so that one day you can say that you saw him live at Riptide. Although relatively young, both in age and within the business, Jordon has already drawn rave reviews for his technical prowess from fans and most importantly, fellow wrestlers. One (incredibly gifted) writer even made an ambitious, yet not unrealistic, comparison to a young Zak Sabre Jr. He's from Brighton too, so not only is he talented - he's also local lad!   No doubt Jordan has the ability, the grounding, and the mindset to go far - and I have a feeling the character and ring-presence will only continue to grow as...
