Many kids idolize and admire popular celebrities throughout their childhoods. When it comes to wrestling, a lot of the current crop has been in some way inspired by the stars of yesteryears. Emulating one’s WWE idols by imitating their mannerisms or collecting memorabilia has been a favorite pastime of many a kid. Many aspire to enter the world of wrestling, but only a few get to realize their dream. But that doesn’t mean the end of the road for the rest, as there are other avenues to garnering fame.
That was certainly the case with the Hip hop group Migos members Quavo and the recently deceased Takeoff.
