Purple Tribe

Pro Wrestler

With body slams and bold smack talk in his back pocket, professional wrestler Jackson is stepping out of the ring and into the tribe, ready to prove he can Outwit, Outplay and Outlast.

Confident with wild hair and a big laugh, Jackson, 24, completed three years of a psychological science degree before dropping out of university to chase his dream of becoming a wrestler. It was a decision not everyone understood, but for Jackson, it was the only choice.

“Leaving university to chase my dream was maybe the hardest thing I've ever done. It's not something everyone would do, but it's me just going out and chasing my dream, living it every day.”

Raised a country boy near Dubbo in NSW, he’s hopeful his three years of study will help him in the game, with an innate ability to understand people and human behaviour.

“I love professional wrestling because you tell stories and you make people feel things and you go out in front of a live audience and it's about moments over moves. No one cares about the moves you do. They remember how you made them feel.”

But this triple threat is hoping his mental, physical and social skills will all pave the way to the final Tribal Council.

“Physically, this is the best shape I've ever been in. I put on some weight, I'm looking strong, I'm looking big. So I'm keen to impress in physical challenges. Socially, I'm aware, I know what people think, where to go, and strategically, I look like a big puppy dog.”
