It was the fall of 1993, and I was in the back of a colossal '79 Lincoln Coupe Mark V, embarking on some otherwise forgettable road trip somewhere in the Deep South. On that night, my compatriot Maxx Payne--the wrestler, not the video-game character--unleashed an all-out audio assault: Megadeth, Rage Against the Machine, GWAR, and a few other offerings that made the guys in GWAR seem like sensitive stylists by comparison. Finally, I tapped out and asked for something a little less combative. "You know, Jack," he said, baritone booming--I was known as Cactus Jack back then--"I have something you might like."

He currently appears every Thursday on Spike TV's TNA Impact. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?
