A lot of times, when you watch a certain wrestler, you pick up on their influences. And other times you'd never guess who they were fans of before they became wrestlers. A lot of people know that I'm a huge fan of CM Punk. They also know I'm a fan of Bryan Danielson and Chris Benoit. It doesn't matter what Benoit will forever be remembered as...he is still a master of the ring to me and others. But you'd never guess that one of my favorite people to watch when I was younger was a tag team. No, not the Nightmares. This particular team was known as PG-13.
Wolfie D and JC Ice were two guys that I met at a very young age.When I first met them, it was of course in a locker room and I might've met them before but my earliest memory was at an event with them. Their behavior in the locker room caught my attention because they were young guys that you could tell were having the time of their lives. Always joking and having fun...and that's what drew me in to wanting that lifestyle. Everything seemed so carefree and laid back. I knew then that I wanted to be a wrestler.
Then I saw them in the ring. Wow. They were quick and always talking to the crowd too. I was entertained. The one thing that not many guys can effectively do today- entertain. Besides them talking trash or making jokes, their execution was crisp and unique. I can't lie either, the hubcap was over with me.It just goes to show you that even though you can watch someone wrestle and see their influences, you can't always assume that they don't enjoy other guys. Not many people realize that I'm a fan of Wolfie and Jamie but I am. Not only are they guys that have accomplished something in this business but both of them are what I'd consider friends and someone I'd go to with any question- ok maybe not ANY question but definitely most questions
