RAW General Manager Adam Pearce appeared on the “Chaotic Good Sports” podcast to talk about a number of topics, including when he first fell in love with the wrestling business.
Pearce said, “That happened on November 5, 1995 — the very first day I walked into that camp on the corner of Lawrence and Broadway in the north side of Chicago. When I walked in on that Sunday afternoon, Ace Steel … was helping put the ring up, so I just jumped in.”
On realizing that he could do it after seeing a public access show about wrestling in high school:
“I go, ‘Wait a minute. This is athletics, this is showmanship. This is something I can kind of sink my teeth into.’ It gave me an avenue and a way out of being depressed, and a way forward, and I am eternally grateful.”
