3 WWE Superstars who didn't want to become wrestlers while growing up and 3 who did

#5 Christian (wanted to become a wrestler when he was young)

Christian and Edge were both pro wrestling fans while growing up in Canada, and wanted to become WWE Superstars someday in the future. Fans must be aware that both Edge and Christian were in attendance at WrestleMania VI, which saw Hulk Hogan losing the WWE title to The Ultimate Warrior in the main event. Years later, both Edge and Christian had become mainstays on WWE TV, and were being featured on RAW as a part of The Brood.

Here's Edge talking about his relationship with Christian:

"Just so happened to find two people – same mindset, same drive, same goal. That to me is the crazy part. and the fact that we stuck to it is because we had each other to lean on throughout the years, but to get there, to go through all the training, to wrestle in the barns in Fall Branch, TN and go through all of that stuff and then eventually at WrestleMania 16 to be standing there on top of the table holding the tag team belts, just all very, very surreal at times."

While Edge went on to become a multiple-time World Champion and one of the greatest heels in the business, Christian didn't achieve the same kind of success. He did win the World title on two occasions though. In an interesting tidbit, WrestleMania VI was attended by former WWE announcer Renee Paquette, and WWE veteran Lance Storm as well.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
