Meet Apollo Crews. The Future WWE Champion Who Is NIGERIAN by AyeeIdris(f): 8:08am On Oct 29, 2015 |
So I am a huge WWE mark since I was a child and I still follow it religiously. For a few weeks, there has been a lot of buzz about a new wrestler in NXT...WWE developmental.. Name- Apollo Crews. I was quite indifferent because WWE is not really known for pushing pure black guys to the top (Booker T was never RAW champion and the New day are self made. The rock is Samoan....just countering all arguments before it begins). Anyways, he just arrived and has become the Number one contender for the NXT champion. That made me take notice. Like ....ok...Maybe WWE has plans for the guy other than just mid card level things. So I googled the guy and I was pleased to discover the guy is a Naija boy....or as Wikipedia put it "Of Nigerian descent" Apollo Crews's real name is Sesugh Uhaa (which side be this abeg). He is apparently a huge indy star having wrestled in smaller outfits like Dragon Gate USA promotion, which also led to him making his first trip to Japan to work for Dragon Gate. Born in Sacramento, California, Uhaa was raised in Atlanta, Georgia and early on fell in love with professional wrestling, becoming a fan of performers such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and especially Kurt Angle. He went to a military high school and began practicing various sports, including soccer, football and track and field, as both an outlet and a way to "get away from the military life".While weight training in high school, he was given the nickname "Uhaa Nation", when his coach noted that he was "as strong as a single nation". Although, he didn't win his first title match due to outside interference, he was made to look strong. That he is being pushed so soon after weeks of promos of his arrival shows that Triple H has big plans for him . I just hope it transcends to the main stage and he is pushed to the top. I mean he is a high flyer AND a power house. That's amazing. In random news.... "Sorry about your damn Luck' James Storm, Beer Money himself is now in NXT. Whoooohoooooo #yeahiwatchtnasometimestoo @lalasticlala @honeric01 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_SLQYPC6Vw
