Jorge Castano was born in the Cali, Colombia and gained an interest in wrestling at a very early age.  By the age of thirteen, Costano was involved in amateur Olympic-style wrestling. In order to train, Castano had to take part in strenuous training exercises, including running and weightlifting. Upon completion of training, Costano would later win numerous trophies of amateur wrestling, including the 1995 Amateur British Championship in the 65kg category.

Castano was soon offered an amateur wrestling scholarship in the U.S. but unfortunately he was under sixteen years of age, which meant by law he could not accept it. Instead, Costano remained in the UK and took up professional wrestling in 1996. .

with Brother Alex In 2001, the two formed a tag team known as The Colombian Connection. The Colombian Connection later won the British Tag Team Championships from The New Breed at an event in Portsmouth, Hampshire on June 19. They would the titles for over two and half months before losing the titles back to New Breed on September 1 in Harrow, Middlesex.

After the title loss, Castano began focusing on his singles career after first defeating his brother Alex in Nottingham in what was Alex's final professional match. Castano soon became well known for his superb technical skills being a master of the suplex. 

Unfortunately Jorge has shown disrespect for the rules of wrestling and can be often found taking shortcuts to gain victories.

When in the UK Jorge can be found Wrestling for us as he thinks the BOBW roster need to be taught some respect and he "The Misfit" is the man to do it.
