• Old School WWF Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WWF Attitude Era Legend “The Road Dogg” Jesse James (Real name: Brian James) celebrates his 52nd birthday today.
After wrestling as Brian Armstrong (WCW 1993-1994) and The Roadie (WWF 1995), he eventually ended up becoming one half of the now legendary Tag Team ‘The New Age Outlaws’ with his team partner Billy Gunn.
Both also went on to become long time members of one of the most famous factions in professional wrestling history, D-Generation X.
In 2019, Road Dogg was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, alongside his DX buddies Billy Gunn, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, X-Pac & (posthumously) Chyna.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROAD DOGG!
