Before her SmackDown call-up, Zelina Vega was one of the brightest personalities on the NXT brand, but fifteen years ago it was her cousin Amazing Red who was lighting up a division marked by a big 'X'.

In the early years of TNA, nothing the company produced was better than their thrilling X Division. Showcasing a fast-paced, high risk brand of wrestling, it was one genuine reason to tune into the alternative during a period when wrestling was largely in the doldrums. Amazing Red was amongst a flurry of names including AJ Styles and Chris Sabin who lit up TNA each week, the three of them trading the strap numerous times before Red's injury-enforced retirement in 2007.

Red eventually made a comeback in 2011, and the cousins crossed paths numerous times during their respective TNA runs, but their real-life relationship was never made apparent.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
