10 Things You Didn’t Know About TJ Perkins
1. Paid Off His House By The Age Of 21
Much has been made of the trials and tribulations that Perkins has endured over the course of his storied career, including the fact that at one point he found himself homeless.
But in a twist that makes that news even more noteworthy, in that aforementioned article from Slam! Wrestling, Perkins reveals that “I saved money to be able to pay off my house by the time I was 21”. Correlating that information with a more recent interview with WWE.com, and it seems that the homelessness did indeed arrive after Perkins had turned 21.
So somehow, Perkins managed to save up enough money to buy a house and then find himself homeless in the years that followed, before once again turning his fortunes around to find himself with another shot in WWE.
That in itself is an incredible story, which tells you everything you need to know about the remarkable career, and indeed the remarkable life, that TJ Perkins has lived up until now.
Based on that, and with time still very much on his side, who knows what heights the WWE Cruiserweight Champion could reach in another 5-10 years time.
