Birth0 Comments

Show is born in Aiken, SC despite being billed from Miami Fl during his wrestling career. During his early life he works many odd jobs such as bouncing and bounty hunting. He pursues basketball at Wichita State University.

I look back at my college basketball career and I just want to go back in time, pull myself off to the side and … punch myself in the face. Hahahahaha. It’s a team sport, idiot. Start playing with your teammates.
