Underdog Story: Former Nicholls standout, Katrina survivor now a pro
July 22, 2015
AGE: 28
TOWN: Houma, La.
FAMILY: Myra Theriot (mother), David Pitre Sr. (father), Dolly and Donald Theriot (grandparents)..
PROFESSION: I am the promoter of NWA-Elite Championship Wrestling, based in Houma.
HOBBIES: Video gaming and bowling.
WHAT IS A TALENT YOU HAVE FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT: I’m a pretty decent chef.
IF YOU HAD TO SPEND A YEAR ON A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT ONE THING WOULD YOU TAKE ALONG: I honestly don’t know how I would survive a year on a deserted island. So my one thing would be someone with survival skills.
YOU’RE A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WINNER. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO: Investments. I’d invest a lot of it.
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL: My grandpa, Donald Theriot. I can only wish to be half the man he is. He worked his butt off to provide for me, my mom and grandmother. I know that if I have anything to talk about, I can go to him for sound advice and guidance.
IF YOU WERE A SUPERHERO, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPER POWER BE: I always answer that question with Sylar from Heroes, because he had the power to move things with his mind and that fascinated me. He was a bad guy most of the series, so I don’t know if that counts. I’m also Batman in disguise, but don’t tell anyone.
TV SHOW GUILTY PLEASURE: “The Office.”
PROUDEST MOMENT: Two things stand out for me. One is refereeing Japan wrestling legend Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Steve Anthony for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship at Cauliflower Alley Reunion 2015. Another is selling out East Park Recreation Center in July 2014 for NWA-Elite featuring a Triple Threat Cage Match and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
WHAT’S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: Kevin Smith’s “Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good” and the Steve Jobs
autobiography.
HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU: Good guy who is extremely dedicated and passionate about his interests. I’d hope they would say that they could come to me for a shoulder in a time of need or just to hang out anytime.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM ADVENTURE: Get a couple friends together for a weekend getaway or a road trip. Doesn’t matter if it’s just a trip to the beach, Las Vegas, New Jersey – whatever.
I WISH I COULD DO
BETTER: Sleep.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM JOB:
Making it to WWE TV as a referee.
AS A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? | wanted to be a pro wrestler. As I grew up, I felt I was more suited toward the promotions end and the referee position. Refereeing is a lot harder than one would think.
WHAT IS YOUR BEST GIFT EVER?
Christmas ’92 is when I got a Sega Genesis with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from my grandparents. I want to thank them for getting me into gaming even though they had no idea what it was.
