0 Comments

The Duggars first set of twins Jana Marie and John-David are born. They are fraternal twins and Jana Marie is their first daughter and John-David is their second son.

The joy of knowing there were two little blessings in my tummy was just more than we could ever have hoped for – we were so thankful. We had a lot of prep work to do before they were born: making sure we had two car seats, putting two baby beds in the room, and preparing our oldest Joshua to become a big brother to two siblings at once. We knew it was a boy and girl coming, so we got to tell him he was going to be a big brother to a brother and sister.

Magnus is born in Norfolk, England

Magnus (Nick Aldis) is born in Norfolk, England. He becomes a fan of professional wrestling at a young age through watching Sting.

I’m as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve (Sting) is a great guy and very, very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect, but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank. He commands respect.

Ion (Michael Paris) is born in Los Angeles, California. He becomes a fan of professional wrestling and electronic music at a young age.

My initial introduction to dance music came at the age of 11 from a Gap commercial. There was a song in the commercial and I thought it was amazing. Turns out it was “Busy Child” by the Crystal Method. I heard this electronic beat, and when I found out what it was, I went out and bought [1997 album] Vegas by the Crystal Method. [Intriguingly enough] it was one of the first albums I ever owned.
