10 Wrestling Moments You Didn’t Realise Inspired People To Become Wrestlers
3. Brian Kendrick - WrestleMania VI: Ultimate Warrior Vs. Hulk Hogan
When it comes to highly anticipated clashes, few can match the excitement felt in the lead up to 'The Immortal' WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior's collision at WrestleMania VI.
Not everyone was fully aware of this impending showdown, though, as former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Brian Kendrick admitted recently in a WWE YouTube video that he accidentally stumbled upon the world of wrestling during a visit to his friend's house to play board games.
The pals were watching 'Mania VI on VHS and the main event was just about to begin. After seeing Ultimate Warrior sprint down to the ring to battle against the 'Hulkster', Kendrick decided there and then 'gee whiz, that's what I want to do with my life.'
Following through on that ambitious declaration, Kendrick went on to train under Shawn Michaels and later made his WWE debut in 2003. Over the next decade or so he'd spend time in WWE, TNA and NJPW, but he currently calls Vince McMahon's company home and wrestles as part of the 205 Live brand.
It just goes to show, you never know which board game night will change your life forever.
