Born in New Jersey and raised in Atlanta, BDE began creating content at the age of 14 and has been producing videos for almost 12 years. He has more than 1 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>BDE started training to be a wrestler in 2019, but took a break when the pandemic began. He resumed training in 2024. \u201cMy dream job as a kid was to be an actor. Then, when I saw people make money from playing video games on YouTube, my dream changed,\u201d BDE said. \u201cWhen I started my YouTube channel, I wanted to play everything I thought was interesting. But as I learned more about the platform, I learned it\u2019s better to niche down. So eventually I shortened it to &#8216;BDE&#8217; because I was only talking about wrestling.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_150082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-150082\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-150082\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/DSC_4464.jpg\" alt=\"BDE on his way to the Call Your SHot Gauntlet match at TNA Bound for GLory 2025, his first TNA Wrestling appearance\" width=\"1200\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/DSC_4464.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/DSC_4464-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/DSC_4464-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/01\/DSC_4464-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-150082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of TNA Wrestling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Who is BDE?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>His aunt took him to his first pro wrestling show, and he was immediately hooked.<\/li>\n<li>His all-time favorite wrestler is John Cena.<\/li>\n<li>He went to a performing arts high school to learn how to act and do stage production \u2013 the same school that Usher, Raven-Symone, and Playboi Carti attended.<\/li>\n<li>He was the school mascot; that\u2019s where \u201cThe Spartan\u201d nickname comes from.<\/li>\n<li>Some of his favorite games are Call of Duty, Minecraft, 2K, and The Walking Dead Telltale Series.<\/li>\n<li>He is a big fan of comics and comic book movies. \u201cI love Marvel and DC.
