It's like a real-life super hero story.
Tech Sgt. Anthony Valentin is a combat operations controller by day, and a fierce wrestler by night.
He tells Airman Magazine that he always wanted to be like G.I. Joe as a kid in Brooklyn. Then he saw World Wrestling Federation's Ultimate Warrior tear across his TV screen and was changed forever.
“I saw the way the crowd reacted, the attention he (received) and any little thing he did everyone watched him. That’s when I knew I wanted to be a wrestler.”
Valentin's career began in 2005, when he found the right wrestling school.
His mother wanted him to be a 'good guy' in the ring.
Valentin was already a good guy 40 hours a week though. So he went the bad route, and "AJ Summers" was born.
