Big Dave is influenced by some of the greats.
Since 2021, Big Dave has been blazing his way through the southern independent scene, competing in promotions like New South, TWE, and ACTION Wrestling.
Dave has the right intentions in mind with his wrestling career, as he is influenced by some of the greats. While speaking to Jeremy Lambert and Stephen Jensen of Fightful Overbooked's Spotlight podcast for a new interview, Dave revealed some of the names that he is taking pointers from.
"I watched a ton of Magnum TA, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Stan Hansen. I’ve been on a huge Wild Bill Irwin kick, recently. Darian Bengston sent me a DM at two or three AM one night and was like, ‘Dude, you need to start watching Wild Bill Irwin.’ ‘Okay.’ I’ve been going hard on Wild Bill Irwin ever since. Outside of wrestling, I love The Big Lebowski. Cool guy. I hope to be that cool. Kenny Powers from East Bound and Down. Dale from King of the Hill. Those are guys I watch and say, ‘Yeah, I see myself in those guys just a tad bit.’"
