  • Hunter has been to WrestleMania twice (WrestleMania XXVIII and WrestleMania XXIX).
  • Hunter briefly (two months) trained in pro wrestling. It was painful.
  • Hunter got into wrestling in 1995, after the Hulkamania 1980s boom and before the Attitude Era late 1990s boom, so you know he's dedicated.
