Other Facts: -Father of pro wrestler Logan Price. Together they are known as The Old School Outlaws
-Before becoming a wrestler he was a pro football player for the Los Angeles Raiders and San Diego Chargers of the National Football League
-While competing in GWF, he had a match with Chris Adams. At that point, Price had blonde hair that had started to thin, so he had gotten some sort of weave sewn in to his head. All the wrestlers knew about this and the understanding was that no one was to pull Price's hair. But during this match, Adams intentionally yanked on the hair. He apparently thought that the hair would just pop off, but it yanked off and Price started bleeding so much that he couldn't continue the match. According to James Beard, he needed approximately 200 stitches to close the wound.
