John Laurinaitis |
John Laurinaitis started wrestling in 1986 as Johnny Ace. At first,
while wrestling in Florida Championship Wrestling Ace frequently teamed
with his brother Joe Laurinaitis (Road Warrior Animal, one half of the wrestling tag team The Road Warriors).
Later, when he wrestled for NWA's Jim
Crockett Promotions he formed a tag team with Shane Douglas called "The
Dynamic Dudes" a
tag team of skateboarders.
Mick Foley has opined that since neither Ace nor Douglas knew how to
skateboard, the fans saw through the character and refused to buy into
it. Jim Cornette, who was managing The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and
Stan Lane) at the time, decided to manage the duo to help them get
over.
