Professional Wrestling Career

Elite Class Championship Wrestling (2002 - 2006)

Singles Run, Championship Reigns and Feud with Kevin Styles and Phillip Mustang

J.T. Banks as ECCW Hardcore Champion

J.T. Banks was one of many up and coming wrestlers that Jack Conway signed to compete for Elite Class Championship Wrestling. On the first ever episode of WarZone, Banks became the first ever ECCW Hardcore Champion and also establishing himself as a heel. However seven days later on WarZone, Banks lost the title to Kevin Styles and in the process started a rivalry with Styles as well.

At Locked Up, Banks would get revenge on Styles as he defeated Styles to win his first ECCW Television Championship. For several months Banks defended the title as he retained it against Styles at Sacrifice and against Grandmaster Steve at The Rumble. Banks' championship reign would come to an end at Revenge as he was defeated by Phillip Mustang in a triple threat match that also involved Styles. Five days later however,

Banks defeated The Afro Kid to begin his second reign as ECCW Hardcore Champion Banks then resumed his feud with Styles and he defeated Styles at Redemption to retain the ECCW Hardcore Championship. Banks then lost the belt back to The Afro Kid at Starstruck. However eight days later at WarZone, Banks defeated The Afro Kid to begin his third reign as ECCW Hardcore Champion. Both The Afro Kid and Banks would trade the Hardcore title weekly until Banks defeated The Afro Kid at Summer Smash to begin his sixth reign as ECCW Hardcore Champion and also ending his feud with The Afro Kid.

The formation of Da Xtreme Dynasty and Tag Team Dominance

At Bloody Glory, Banks was randomly paired with former rival Kevin Styles to go up against Sean Jamison and Alex Brand which they defeated Jamison and Brand with succession. Later that night, both Banks and Styles helped James Baker injure Phillip Mustang and in the process helping Baker become the new ECCW World Heavyweight Champion which raised questions as to whether the pairing of both Styles and Banks was random or not. The next night on WarZone, Baker revealed that the pairing of Styles and Banks was not random as he had planned to pair them up for weeks. Baker, Styles and Banks then officially formed Da Xtreme Dynasty while the fans were booing them and pelting them with debris.

At ECCW Night of Champions 2003, Banks not only retained the ECCW Hardcore Championship over Terry Jones, but he and Styles defeated Kevin and Efran Ortiz to begin their long reign as the ECCW World Tag Team Champions. Also at the Pay-Per-View, both Styles and Banks then helped Baker successfully defended his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship as he defeated Alex Brand to retain the title.

Styles and Banks then started their dominance over the tag team division as they turned back every possible tag team that they defended their championships against while still helping James Baker win his matches. At The Rumble, Banks lost the ECCW Hardcore Championship to Mario Johnson. Months later Baker and Da Xtreme Dynasty then resumed their rivalry with Phillip Mustang with Mustang and Baker both gaining the upper hand over each other. Meanwhile, both Styles and Banks were constantly fending off every tag team that was thrown in front of them as they defeated a lot of different tag teams to retain their ECCW World Tag Team Championship. At Night of Champions 2004, Styles and Banks defeated Kilo Perez and Jamaican Sensation to retain their ECCW World Tag Team Championship, while Baker defeated Phillip Mustang to win the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship and also ending the Baker versus Mustang feud once and for all.

After the Baker vs Mustang feud came to an end, Da Xtreme Dynasty then set their focus on trying to gain the other championships in ECCW. Baker then defeated both Juan Martinez and Mario Johnson to gain both the ECCW Television Championship and the ECCW Hardcore Championship. The following week on WarZone, Baker then held a ceremony in the ring and he gave Styles the ECCW Hardcore Championship while he gave Banks the ECCW Television Championship as an act of kindness. On the January 17th, 2005 edition of WarZone, Da Xtreme Dynasty were involved in a screwjob like match as they paid a referee to help Baker defeat Sean Jamison to begin his seventh reign as the ECCW World Heavyweight Champion. However those efforts were short lived as Baker lost the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship back to Jamison at Redemption.

The Breakup of Da Xtreme Dynasty and the Formation of The MidEast Driveby Connection

The next night on WarZone, Baker called both Banks and Styles to the ring. Baker stated that he wanted to start off fresh and help Da Xtreme Dynasty to get back to the top. However it was all revealed to be a setup as Baker then attacked Banks and Styles and laid them out to officially end Da Xtreme Dynasty. Later that night both Styles and Banks were attacked again by Baker and Phillip Mustang which officially turned Banks into a face for the first time in his career while Styles turned face for the first time in two years. Both Styles and Banks then remained as a tag team and renamed themselves The MidEast Driveby Connection and they then stated their desire to get revenge on James Baker and Phillip Mustang who by this point had reformed The Driveby Express.

Both teams then traded the ECCW World Tag Team Championships with each other over the next year and their rivalry also became very heated as Baker employed several psychological and dirty tactics to gain the advantage over The MidEast Driveby Connection. After the feud with Baker and Mustang ended, Banks was involved in many different feuds with his tag team with Kevin Styles being quietly phased out. At the final ECCW show, both Styles and Banks competed in a three way tag team match against The Driveby Express and the returning team of Ron Bridges and The Afro Kid, unfortunately for Styles and Banks, they lost the match when Baker pinned Bridges to win the match for The Driveby Express.

On the August 4th edition of Rapture, the heel turn was further cemented when Alexis hit Kevin Styles with a steel chair, and Banks put a dagger right through the longtime friendship with Styles by hitting him in the head with a steel chair. He beat on his best friend until Generation Next made the save. Later that night, they faced The Disciples of Syn and lost when Syn pinned Alexis following The Killing Joke. On the September 15th edition of Rapture, he along with Toxic broke the ankle of longtime nemesis Talia Skye, effectively ending her PCW career.

Face Turn

On November 12, 2012. Banks shocked the world when he tweeted that he was leaving The Toxic Disciples of Syn and Morgan (Toxic and The Disciples of Syn as a super group) and issued an apology to talents such as Ryan "The Reaper" Robinson, Bella Brooks-Robinson, his long time tag team partner Kevin Styles and fellow Da Xtreme Dynasty teammates James Baker and Danielle Lopez, with all accepting the apology and effectively turning him back into a face. At Struggle for Power III, the face turn was confirmed when Banks along with Kevin Styles, Ryan "The Reaper" Robinson and Tom Pendergrass of Team Lethality came out and saved James Baker and Terrell Ryder from being beaten down by Toxic and the Disciples of Syn. On the December 22nd edition of Rapture. Styles and Banks cut a taped promo from Japan and challenged newly crowned tag team champions The Bull and Ape Alliance to a match at Wrestle Extravaganza III: St. Valentine's Massacre with the titles on the line. Before the match, they announced that Talia Skye (the real life girlfriend of J.T. Banks) would be the team's manager. The match came and it was one that was for the ages as the two fan favorite teams battled it out. In the end, Styles and Banks won the match after they hit Ape with the Light's Out to win the titles for the second time. On the March 2nd edition of Rapture, they faced Bull and Ape in a rematch with the titles on the line with the stipulation that if Bull and Ape lost, they would lose their spots on the main roster. The match was back and forth and Da Dynasty won when Styles and Banks hit Ape with the Lights Out, effectively ending Bull and Ape's reign on the main roster. On the March 11th, 2013 house show dubbed as Leon Lonewolf appreciation night, Styles and Banks defended the PCW World Tag Team Championship against The Double Dragons in a ladder match. Da Dynasty retained when they grabbed the titles after hitting both members of the Double Dragons with the Lights Out. They eventually lost the titles to The Princesses of Lethality (now The Lethal Barbarians) in a TLC match which included The Pac and lost the rematch at Slamathon IV, the latter making it the first time (and ended up being the only time) they lost a legitimate tag team match in PCW.

Personal life

Banks was born in Brooklyn, New York to Robert and Selena Banks. A construction worker and a nurse respectably. But by the age of ten, his father was killed in a tragic construction accident, while two years later, his mother passed away in a car accident. The death of his father as well as his mother passing away just two years later really affected Banks as a youth but he never let it slow him down. He had to be the "man" of his family so to speak. He had two brothers (Shawn and Steven) and two sisters (Tiffany and Kyra who both are signed with Pride Wrestling). He practically raised them despite them all living with their grandparents in Brooklyn until they were able to make it out on their own. He is the oldest out of his siblings. He has a cousin Lauren who is also a professional wrestler in Pride Wrestling.

Banks is an avid fan of the New York Mets (MLB), the New York Knicks (NBA) and the New York Jets (NFL). Today he currently resides in San Diego, California, the same city that all of Da Xtreme Dynasty and Generation Xtreme reside in. J.T.'s well known friends in the industry, and best friends are his former Da Xtreme Dynasty teammates James Baker, Danielle Lopez and Kevin Styles. His other friends include Desiree Miles, Israel Steele, Terrell Ryder, Jane Isis and Damon, Aaron and Nathan Warrens among others.

Banks was in a long term relationship with fellow ECCW alumnus Breanna Barker that started in 1995 before the two had even gotten into wrestling. Their relationship ended in 1997 after two years together. Banks was in a relationship with fellow ECCW alumnus Rosa Rodriguez from 2005 until December 18, 2006 as they broke up. He was previously in a ten month relationship with Mariah Lopez (better known to the world as the cousin of Phillip, Danielle and Enrique Lopez, who would soon start a career in professional wrestling herself) that started in March 2010, but they broke up in January 2011 after Mariah revealed to be a lesbian and the two of them still remain friends. After that, he started dating fellow professional wrestler, PCW alumnus and Generation Xtreme/Weapon X teammate Talia Skye in June 2011. The two of them confirmed their relationship at an autograph signing, but as of January 2012, the couple decided to split. In December 2012, it was confirmed that the two are indeed dating again as they were seen together in Japan. The two of them live together in San Diego, California, and are engaged with the wedding date confirmed for mid-January. In between the break up with Talia, there were rumors of Banks dating fellow wrestler Alexis Landry, but the two denied it. Instead, their rumored relationship was strictly an on-screen romance when both were heels in PCW. The on-screen pairing ended when Banks turned back into a face in November of that year.
