7 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Dana Brooke

2. She Was A Wrestling Fan As A Child

Is it possible to be a successful professional wrestler without being a fan first? Well, of course it is, but having a deeply ingrained passion for the business can only help.

Like many of us, Dana Brooke was a big wrestling fan as a child, her introduction to the sport coming from her father Bruce.

As many members of the WWE Universe will recall from their own experiences, Brooke cut her teeth as a professional wrestler by wrestling her stuffed animals as a child.

Brooke went a little further than most though, setting up all the pillows in her basement on Sundays and putting on shows for herself.

Brooke also booked herself a manager during these early days. The name of the manager? The Wizard. Stu Hart's Dungeon it ain't, but love always has to start from somewhere.
