His biological Father was never really in the picture due to his struggles with drug abuse. His Mother gave birth to him at 15 years of age, and luckily by the time he was a few years old he had strong Father figures in his life such as his Grandfather and Stepfather.
He adds that his WWE Hall of Fame induction means a lot to him because it solidifies his legacy. He had to deal with so many challenges during his life, but he was able to keep his head down and push through all of it. He hopes that his kids understand how important it is to push through life’s difficulties, and his Hall of Fame induction is proof of that.
He informs that for 5 and a half years he worked three jobs while trying to raise his two young twin boys. He worked at a post office in the morning, unloaded trucks at a Supermarket in the afternoon, and then bounced at a bar in the night. He’d often leave his bouncing gig at the bar and walk straight to the post office to start his 2:30 AM shift. He did what he had to do and eventually everything paid off.
D-Von mentions that he actually stepped away from the business for a while during this period. He had so much going on in his personal life that he just figured it’d be easier to start a full-time career with the postal service. Luckily, after hearing about a new upstart promotion called ECW he decided to return to the business.
