Biography
Born in Pittsburgh, PA Johnathen was born to Robert and Lily Dupont. Lily left Robert shortly after Johnathen's birth and Johnathen lived with his hard working father until Johnathen turned one. His mother came back and demanded custody of Johnathen and after a lengthy court battle Lily got full custody of Johnathen and Robert need to not only pay her alimony but now child support.
Johnathen was brought to Los Angeles and eventually Johnathen's mother met a rich older man named James Magnum. They got married and James adopted young Johnathen to effectively change his legal name from Johnathen Dupont to Johnathen Magnum. The Magnums lived in what was then "Magnum Manor". Johnathen loved his life in the mansion and at age 5 he and James used to work out in the private gym while his mother would be off shopping. James saw Johnathen trying his hardest to lift heavier weights but James got him started on light weights. Johnathen enjoyed lifting and James talked to his dietician to arrange a special diet for Johnathen to help him build muscle mass.
Johnathen stuck with the diet and stuck with weight lifting. One day after a work out Johnathen went to the media room and turned on a TV. He started watching a wrestling match where Billy Graham destroyed someone in the ring and squeezed the life out of him when he locked his massive arms around the opponent's body and the opponent couldn't take anymore. Magnum continued to watch wrestling and became fascinated by it.
When Magnum turned 12 he talked to James about wanting to be a wrestler. His mother was against it but James was for it so James contacted some trainers in the area and finally found one nearby. Johnathen at age 13 walked into a wrestling school looking at men in their 20's, 30's ,and 40's wanting to be wrestlers but not being able to get anything right. The trainer showed Magnum something once and Magnum did it perfectly. Magnum consistently did whatever he was told with a smile on his face. His attitude impressed a lot of the other trainees seeing as how he wanted to be a pro-wrestler more than anything.
When Magnum turned age 15 he had his first match. The fans in attendance had seen a lot of young talent and just assumed they would be seeing a botchfest but Johnathen and his opponent put on a great match. Johnathen ended up being the one who sold the most tickets because of his look, his style, his overall attitude, and his personality. Magnum wrestled until age 18 where James Magnum passed away in his sleep. When the will was read James had left all of his money and his Manor to Johnathen. Johnathen's mother was the most happiest about this since it meant she could stay and the mansion was hers. Johnathen had other plans as he had security take his vindictive mother off the premises.
At age 18, Johnathen was rich and his life was extremely great. In the gym area he hired world class wrestling trainers to train him when he wasn't doing work related stuff over at Magnum Incorporated or out on dates. Magnum continued training and eventually decided to leave California to train with Rick Rude. Rude was impressed by Magnum that he took him under his wing. When Rick Rude had passed away in his sleep Johnathen changed his wrestling name to "Ravishing" John Rude. Complete with a specially made robe and the "Rude Awakening" Hangmans' Neckbreaker, Magnum paid homage to his mentor.

Their feud continued throughout their time in ASW until they left.

After the match, Magnum was mad that he couldn't defeat ETE and eventually yelled at Sheena Marie and blamed her for the loss.

He made his way to the ring and started to do his whole jumping up and down roaring schtick which did not impress "The Ravishing One".
