JJ Doze, known to his fans as “The Lost Child,” is more than just a rising star in the world of professional wrestling. He is a symbol of perseverance, battling not only the physical challenges of the ring but also the emotional and mental struggles that have defined much of his life.
Behind the mask he wears to the ring, JJ Doze has faced a deeply personal journey. Describing himself as someone who has long been plagued by self-doubt and insecurity, Doze’s life has been marked by moments of feeling ignored and lost—hence the nickname. For much of his life, he has been his own harshest critic, constantly struggling with feelings of inadequacy.
Yet, despite the battles raging within, JJ Doze is far from giving up. He has channeled his inner turmoil into a mission for personal growth, aiming to rise above his doubts and insecurities to reach new heights, both in the ring and in life. His signature mantra, “Find The Light,” reflects his ongoing journey to discover a sense of purpose and inner peace.
JJ’s journey to professional wrestling started as a way to escape reality—a place where, for a moment, he could leave his struggles behind. In the ring, he is not defined by his mental health battles or self-doubts, but by the strength, skill, and determination he brings to each match. The fans who cheer him on, who believe in him, are part of the fuel that keeps him going. “Pro wrestling is my escape from reality,” he says. “When I’m out there, I don’t think about my problems.”
Growing up, JJ found inspiration in the unlikeliest of heroes—WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Watching an undersized athlete thrive in a world dominated by larger-than-life competitors gave JJ hope that he, too, could succeed. “Rey Mysterio showed me that it’s possible for someone like me to make an impact,” he reflects.
JJ’s road to the ring officially began at House of Glory, where he was trained by the legendary Amazing Red. Under Red’s guidance, Doze developed the technical skills and mental toughness needed to compete in the world of professional wrestling. But beyond the physical preparation, wrestling gave him something more: a sense of belonging. In wrestling, he found a world where his flaws were accepted and even understood.
Now, with each match, JJ Doze isn’t just fighting his opponent—he’s fighting to inspire others who may be struggling with the same battles he faces. He aims to be a beacon of hope for those who, like him, have felt lost. His goal isn’t just to win championships, but to prove that anyone, no matter the obstacles they face, can find their light and reach for greatness.
As JJ Doze continues his rise in Victory Pro Wrestling, one thing is certain: his story is just beginning. He is determined to make an impact—not just as a wrestler, but as a voice for those who struggle to believe in themselves. Through his performances, he is not just showcasing his skill but sending a powerful message: no matter how dark it gets, there is always a light to be found.
In the words of “The Lost Child” himself: “Find the light.”
