Dax Harwood looks back on the beginning of his journey in wrestling.
In a tweet on August 13, Harwood noted that the day marked the 19-year anniversary of his first match. He stated that he loves wrestling to the point of hate, doubt, frustration, and insecurity. Harwood then shared some encouragement, as he wrote that if "a guy who's 5'10", bald, chubby, crazy ass accent" can make it, so can others.
19 years ago, today, I wrestled my very first match. I love professional wrestling. Like LOVE it. To the point of hate, doubt, frustration, insecurity, etc.

This is sappy, but, if a guy who’s 5’10”, bald, chubby, crazy ass accent can make it, so can y’all. -- Top Guys out pic.twitter.com/8fuJxtlpId
Harwood is currently featured in AEW as one-half of FTR alongside Cash Wheeler. They are the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions. The duo kicked off their second reign with the titles by defeating The Gunns (Austin & Colten Gunn) on the April 5 episode of AEW Dynamite.
