"The Idol" Jefferson Stardust is a young worker from Las Vegas. He had been working the local independent scene for almost a year, and was starting to build a reputation as a good prospect, when some videos of him in action reached the desk of Mid Atlantic Wrestling's Rip Chord. Always looking for raw talent that he could mold, Rip contacted Stardust and soon had him as a fully-fledged member of the MAW roster.
