Preston Vance
Preston Vance, a powerhouse of a man with a name that conjures images of a rugged individualist, has been making waves in the world of professional wrestling. The 6-foot-2-inch, 240-pound behemoth from Michigan has brought a level of physicality and intensity to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) that is hard to ignore.
Born on January 15th, 1992, Vance's early life was marked by a passion for sports, with baseball and ice hockey being his go-to games. But it was the world of wrestling that truly captured his imagination, and he began training in his late teens. Under the moniker "Ten", Vance made his mark on the independent circuit, earning a reputation as a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Vance's wrestling style is reminiscent of the old-school giants who paved the way for the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. He is a singles wrestler at heart, but has also showcased his skills in tag team action, often playing the role of the dominant force in his pairings.
But it's Vance's signature moves that truly set him apart from the pack. His Detroit Valley Driver – a vicious combination of a fireman's carry and a suplex – is a crowd-pleaser, while his Protobomb and Pounce finishers have left opponents reeling on more than one occasion.
When he's not laying waste to his opponents in the ring, Vance is known for his laid-back demeanor and infectious smile. His nickname "Perro Peligroso" (Dangerous Dog) is a nod to his tenacious nature and willingness to take on all comers. And yet, despite his rough-around-the-edges persona, Vance has earned a reputation as one of the most likable – and formidable – wrestlers in AEW.
As Preston Vance continues to make a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling, it's clear that he is more than just a powerhouse of a man. He is a force of nature, driven by a passion for the sport and a refusal to back down from any challenge. And if you're not already aware of his existence, then get ready to join the ranks of those who have come to fear – and respect – Preston Vance, Perro Peligroso himself.
