Episode 51: Jesse Scott Tribute - Part 1

Wrestling is Life is Wrestling with Cody Deaner

On May 7, 2024, at the age of 43, Jesse Scott left this life. Jesse succumbed to a rare form of cancer, which he bravely faced for more than a year.

Jesse was a powerful and positive force in the professional wrestling world. He wrestled for over 2 decades under the names JT Playa, and later, Tiberious King. He was the founder of NEO Wrestling, a company that helped launch the careers of many professional wrestlers who currently wrestle on television for the biggest wrestling companies in the world.

Jesse is survived by his wife of nine years, Stella, and their three young sons, Cohen, Forest, and Gaelen. A champion for good both in the ring and in life, Jesse will be remembered for his limitless generosity of spirit, inspiring strength, extravagant humour, charismatic wrestling talent, and beautiful devotion to his family.

In this first Jesse Scott tribute episode, we’ll hear from 6 different friends of Jesse that had a special connection to him in the wrestling world:

• Current TNA Wrestling star and former WWE Superstar, Eric Young
• 30-year wrestling veteran Tornado
• Former professional wrestler and high school friend of Jesse – Jaxon Jarvis
• Radio host, wrestling manager, and wrestling commentator Ben McCully
• Ontario independent wrestling veteran and student of Jesse’s – Andrew “Daddy” Davis

May this tribute episode be a source of healing to those grieving the loss of Jesse. And may it be something that his friends and family can always come back to in order to get a glimpse into the amazing legacy Jesse has left behind.
