Steven McKnight grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he excelled at both school and sports such as basketball and
football. He pursued it full time becoming a pro football player but towards the end of his first second, he got injured and
couldn't play pro football anymore so he got a call from a wrestling promoter who saw him play the season and realized he
had some great potential to be a professional wrestler. Steven McKnight at first was skeptical but after a month in the training
program, he decided to do if full time.
