I just bought this from a local GH that sometimes carries very odd things and I read the tag and it was marked as "Musa Hybrid 'Parsons Red'". I dont know what it is but I know I dont have it. To me it looks like dwarf jamaican red but really I dont know so what does everyone else think?

Sorry for the lack of quality, but you get the idea, powdery red trunk, powdery under leaves and red vein in the middle.

Looks like a Red/Dwarf Red to me, but you never really know until you grow it out. Dwarf Red is pretty distinctive though and rather common, so as it gets older it may be easier to tell.
