Jocephus found prominence with the revival of the NWA and the beginning of the Ten Pounds Of Gold series.\u00a0 His promo skills and character work drew in many fans who were seeing him for the first time as he went after NWA Champion Tim Storm<\/a> for many months.\u00a0 Their feud ended when Jocephus and his Spiritual Advisor lost a hair vs hair match to Storm and David Arquette, this followed a number of grudge matches between Storm and his adversary that failed to satisfy their hatred for one another.\u00a0 Jocephus’ character work throughout that feud was continuously fantastic as his character always found new lows to sink to, it was a refreshing pro wrestling performance that earned him many fans.<\/p>\n

Such horrible news to share. Jocephus Hudson has passed. Moments ago @NWA<\/a> President William Patrick Corgan issued a statement on his IG. Joe was so creative and a hell of a guy. Most of you know him as @QuestiontheTHE<\/a>. My condolences to his family, friends and fans. #RIP<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1hnVUq4vZy<\/a><\/p>\n
