Dax Harwood has been around the pro wrestling business a long time.
20 years long, in fact.
The FTR member from the AEW talent roster surfaced on social media on Tuesday with a statement acknowledging the milestone 20-year anniversary of his debut pro wrestling match.
Harwood wrote the following:

I remember as a kid, every single night, praying that God would allow me to become “a WWF, WCW, or ECW champion”.
I remember as a kid having over 500 posters hanging on my walls and ceiling of all my favorite wrestlers in hopes of one day having a poster of my own.

20 years.
