## Personal Life

Trenton James York was born the son of professional wrestler John York who made his name in Canada under the gimmick John "The New York Terror" York and his wife Denise York. Trenton came up in a family that on the outside looked great and golden but behind closed doors his father was always a terrible person. Trenton had seen his fathers drunk rage as a child and whenever Trenton became an teenager, John forced him to begin training. Trenton never wanted to be a pro wrestler as a child and seen it as why his father was a monster but he had no other choice. Training under his father and his fathers best friend Harry Wright, life was hell. John York was going to force his son to wrestle if he liked it or not and luckily for Trenton he began to love it. As scary as the thought was, Trenton loved the ring and the escape it gave him from the real world and even made his relationship less stressful with his father. Trenton began to grow up and had his first pro match at 18 after his father finally thought he was ready even though Trenton had been begging since he was 16. Trenton would finally make his debut where his father made his name and began to rise in Canada. While his father should have been proud, John York began to be jealous of his own son. John York would sit back and watch his son rise to the point of receiving a world title shot at the age of 20 which was something John had never received in his career. John would finally snap and try to kill his son to no prevail only injuring Trenton and a few audience members while claiming the life of one before chaos started and John York was arrested. This night would be the turning point in Trenton life as now for the first time he was free from his mind but now he was fucked up in the head. While not all people in Trenton's life are bad, Trenton does have two people that have given Trenton a little joy. Trenton has been in a "relationship" with Katie Costner since they were kids but John York forbid them from ever being together because it interfered with Trenton's training. Then of course there is Trenton's beloved mom, if there was one person Trenton did love it was his mom who had always been there for him. Now with John York in prison, Trenton York has decided to move back to his hell hole state and home town of Chicago, Illinois to be closer to his Mother.
