- Dakota began watching pro wrestling in 2008 and was quickly drawn to the likes of Rey Mysterio, due to his constant overcoming of odds stacked against him due to his height, and MVP because he represented Miami.
- He has attended five nights of WrestleMania and multiple other pay-per-view events for WWE and AEW since first becoming a fan.
- He found a love for multiple UK pro wrestling independent promotions during the beginning of the pandemic following WWE uploading old Progress to the WWE Network and has kept up with them since.
Experience
Dakota stepped into the world of wrestling journalism in 2020 when a friend of his decided to launch a wrestling news website for his already popular Instagram page, WrestlingRepublic.
