Don’t tell Orlando Jordan the odds are too great. Don’t say to him he does not have a shot. Don’t even think about offering him adversity. It will all just motivate him more! Jordan may be a WWE newcomer, but his lifetime of battles and overcoming the odds have prepared him to not only face the rigors that a WWE Superstar must endure, but also to thrive as a result of these rigors. He has dealt with a (false) diagnosis of autism as a youth, poverty, a nomadic lifestyle as a child, and even some of the fiercest forest fires in American history as a member of the U.S. Forest Service, and when it was all overcome by this youngster, his inner-strength and outer athleticism made him a perfect candidate for WWE.

After training with Rocky Johnson—the same Rocky Johnson who is The Rock’s father—Jordan signed a developmental deal with WWE and reported to Ohio Valley Wrestling to further develop his skills. Shortly thereafter, Jordan got the call and entered World Wrestling Entertainment. On June 26, 2003, Jordan made his WWE debut on SmackDown! at Madison Square Garden against John Cena. Although he did not win the match, he was impressive enough that when Cena attacked Jordan after the match was over, the Undertaker came to the ring and even helped Jordan to his feet. Taker took time to shake Jordan’s hand and congratulate him on a good effort—the ultimate sign of respect for a WWE rookie.

Jordan has now officially arrived in WWE. The odds to get to the top may not be in Jordan’s favor, but he has heard that before and knows that long odds are exactly what motivates him.
