An excellent article, which gets our highest recommendation, has
been posted by veteran reporter Alex Marvez about new NFL linebacker James
Laurinaitis.
James is the son of Road Warrior Animal and the nephew of WWE
Talent Relations czar John Laurinaitis.
Key excerpt:
Pro wrestling stardom would come naturally for James
Laurinaitis.
Paint his face. Add spikes to his football shoulder
pads. Transform his short haircut into a funky Mohawk and voila. You've got the
second coming of tag-team legend Joe "Animal" Laurinaitis.
Even the king of the grappling game — World Wrestling
Entertainment owner Vince McMahon — has a standing offer for James to follow in
the footsteps of his father and two uncles who "rassled" during the 1980s and
1990s. "Whenever I see Vince, he tells me, 'We're so proud of you. We hope
football works out. If it doesn't, come join the family business,'" James
Laurinaitis said. "But for me, it's always been football."
