- Terry was a big wrestling fan growing up, seeing every televised show and all the pay per views. He never missed a beat on the wrestling world and as he went through high school he joined a group of teenagers in a household wrestling league. It was not for money or fame. It was just for fun. Terry often found himself the winner of matches between his friends. It was all going good through high school and college, and then it suddenly got better. One day Terry was off to the house where they wrestled when he happened to stumble into Jack Broloskov. Jack looked Terry up and down and said he was a good size for a wrestler. Terry then told him of the group of friends and his small wrestling league and Jack instantly became interested. He then told Terry he was looking to manage someone to go into the AWA. Of course Terry was very interested and invited him to watch his match. After seeing Terry wrestle, Jack knew he had his man. He trained Terry for a year before bringing him to the AWA to start a wrestling career.
