On this episode of First Match we go way back to the beginning with one half of the NWA World Tag Team Champions, James Storm!
From a high school wrestling champion to a walk on basketball scholarship, to being the only one of eighty dudes who made it through a wrestling camp try-out, James Storm's journey to the ring was loaded with ups, downs, a compound shoulder fracture, and learning on the fly! James Storm's journey to the ring and beyond is a hell of a ride! Plus don't miss the story of the rib he pulled on Rhyno!
