Derek began watching wrestling on Monday nights when his mom and dad were none the wiser. Coming from a strict extremest Muslim household, things like Hulk Hogan, Freedom, women with jobs, and pyrotechnics were frowned upon. Ok, that's not true, pyro was fine as long as it was being used to blow up the infidels.
Derek and his tight-knit group of friends would always watch the Monday night shows, and it would be thee topic of conversation at school the next day. You never wanted to be the kid that forgot to watch as it would come with a severe beating and being tied to the merry-go-round, upside down, and without pants.
Derek (being a giant) ... naturally gravitated to Big Daddy Cool Diesel, not realizing he was both a terrible wrestler and a terrible person. Derek's first live WWF event was the "In Your House" where Diesel and HBK won the tag team titles from The British Bulldog and Yokozuna by pinning Owen Hart (who had just arrived to the arena following traffic issues.) *Note* Derek did not take his best friend Mike to this event and Mike will one day have his revenge for this ultimate act of betrayal.
Derek had an off and on again relationship with wrestling throughout high school, watching it when his friends did and when he wasn't busy with his other hobby of raising and taming wild box turtles. However, after a tragic accident involving a toy wrestling ring and two of his favorite turtles, he vowed to never watch wrestling again.
That is until he found his long lost friend Mike in 2009, and they say down to watch an episode of Smackdown when the future endeavored wrestler John Morrison dressed up like Mel Gibson in that totally accurate Scottish movie. After seeing this comedy gold, Derek was hooked again and decreed that all other things, such as food, family, and work must be put on hold to do the podcast known as 3 Count Radio and GAIDEN! (Seriously ... how ironic is that last sentence?)
