Jesse Neal (born April 10, 1980) is an American retired professional wrestler and a former member of the U.S. military. He is best known for working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he was one half of the tag team Ink Inc., with his partner Shannon Moore.
Neal served in the United States Navy from 1998 to 2002, reaching the rank of petty officer 3rd Class and was on board USS Cole, when it was suicide bombed on October 12, 2000. Neal has a tattoo on his right forearm of the initials of his best friend, who was killed in the attack. After the attack Neal was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder and spent over a year on shore duty before finishing his four year stint with the Navy in 2002.
In May 2007 Neal began training and wrestling under Team 3D at their Academy of Professional Wrestling and Sports Entertainment, using the ring name "Tribal". He then wrestled on the independent circuit.
In 2009 Neal signed a contract with professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He made his first appearance in TNA at Destination X, wearing his Naval uniform, where he first introduced the match between Brutus Magnus and Eric Young and then confronted Sheik Abdul Bashir before singing "God Bless America". He made his first Impact! appearance on April 9 in a backstage interview, where TNA wrestler Rhino offered to train Neal to become a professional wrestler and fulfill his dream.
