Julius Smokes
Julius Smokes, aka J-Train or Dr. Smokes, is the kind of wrestler who defies easy categorization. Born in Brooklyn in 1975, Smokes grew up surrounded by the rough-and-tumble world of New York City streetball and the gridiron. But it was pro wrestling that ultimately claimed his attention, and a remarkable career has followed.
Standing at 5'10" with a chiseled 211-pound frame, Smokes cuts an imposing figure in the ring. His signature move, Suzie Q, is a devastating combination of power and finesse that has left opponents reeling time and again. And yet, despite his formidable physical presence, it's his quick wit and sharp tongue that have earned him the nickname "Devil's Son-in-Law."
Smokes' journey into pro wrestling was far from conventional. He made his debut in 2000, working a freelance schedule that took him to various independent promotions across the East Coast. Ring of Honor, Game Changer Wrestling, Major League Wrestling – Smokes has been a fixture on these and other circuits, earning a reputation as one of the most versatile and unpredictable wrestlers in the business.
Over the years, Smokes has racked up an impressive collection of championship gold: NDIW Heavyweight Championship, LIWF All Boro Championship, LIWF Empire State Championship, LIWF Heavyweight Championship, and LIWF New Jersey Championship, to name just a few. But it's not just the hardware that sets him apart – it's his willingness to push boundaries and challenge himself in ways that others might not dare.
As he enters the twilight of his career, Julius Smokes remains an enigma, a true original whose blend of athleticism, showmanship, and unapologetic humor continues to captivate audiences. Whether he's strutting his stuff as J-Train or trading verbal jabs with opponents as Dr. Smokes, this Brooklyn boy has left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling – one that will be remembered for years to come.
