King Mo On Which Wrestling Matches Caused Him To Lose His Belief In God
King Mo is one of the few athletes who has managed to compete successfully in two sports at the same time. He is both an accomplished mixed martial artist and a pro wrestler, even though he got his athletic career started in amateur wrestling.
Mo was a Division I All-American at Oklahoma State and that got him noticed by WWE. He talked about Gerald Brisco recruiting him when he joined Brisco and Big Ace on VOC Nation.
“[Brisco] recruited me. He called me and got me my flight to Louisville, Kentucky with a guy named Brandon Eggum. At that time Brandon Eggum was one of Brock Lesnar’s coaches and teammates,” Mo recalled and he spent about a week at OVW before rejecting WWE’s contract offer to pursue a career in MMA.
