I have to put my father over because he really taught me a lot, especially when it comes to out-of-the-ring psychology and how to react when you’re approached by fans after a show or in the airport. It might sound silly, but a lot of those things come into play when you’re playing a character.

They couldn’t accept the fact that I might have been OK with it. I cried my eyes out and kicked and screamed and said, ‘Why?’ and all the things you do when you find out. A few days later I was fine but I still had to go to therapy. It was such a waste of time.

Roger Ver born in Silicon Valley
Roger Ver is born and raised in Silicon Valley. He attends Valley Christian High School in San Jose.
In junior high he finds a copy of Socialism 
The more I read the more I realized how government control and regulation is making the world a poor place. I learnt that if something’s worth doing, then you don’t need the government forcing people to do it because they will do it on their own.
He is particularly influenced by the writing of Murray Rothbard:
I devoured all of Rothbard’s books and was persuaded by the logic of his arguments. I remember being almost afraid to read such powerful truths. In all my years of schooling, no one before Rothbard had ever pointed out that taxation is the moral equivalent of theft, and the military draft is the moral equivalent of kidnapping and slavery. It shattered my remaining hopes that the State could be morally justified. For the first time I saw them for the criminal band of thieves, slave masters, and murderers that they are. My life has never been the same since.
CM Punk born in Chicago
Punk is born in Chicago, Illinois. Punk grows up in the area as an active fan of rock music, comic books and the Chicago Cubs. Both of his parents struggle with substance abuse through his early life.
I grew up with an alcoholic father. He never beat me, he never raised a hand against my mother or anything like that, but I’d seen enough stupid and ridiculous things between that, my mother and her prescription pills, and just hanging out with an older crowd when I was a kid, that I didn’t understand a lot of the fun to what partying was, so I just never did it. I didn’t understand waking up next to somebody you don’t remember going to bed with; I didn’t understand getting, you know, blackout drunk and not remembering the good times you have with your buddies; and I feel so strongly about it that I’ve just always been this way—it just made sense.
Ezekial Jackson born in Linden, Guyana
Jackson (Rycklon Stephens) is born in Linden, Guyana. He grows up in a Christian household.
Without Christ I’d be nobody. I’m a Christian. For a long time, and it hasn’t been as much lately, but when I’d tweet a scripture I’d get replies saying “If there’s a God, why does he allow bad things to happen?” It’s funny that people who don’t believe in God always want God when bad things are happening, you know what I mean? For me, it’s my life. I have a standard in my house – God, my wife, my kids. Everything else comes after that.
