Derrick's interest were never toward the direction of college or sports for his future in life with the exception of pro wrestling, he did however play high school football because of the physical nature of the sport and competed in amateur wrestling. Shortly after he graduated high school he left home for Boston, Massachusetts to get trained for a career in pro wrestling. Things didn't always come easy, but he was a quick learner and six months later he debuted at a local Boston independant.

He had become hot property on the indy scene, promoters from all around wanted his name on their shows, because the fans would pack arenas to see him mostly for his brutal, hard hitting style in the ring. Moving along to the present and Rodgers' name and reputation has continued to grow, he continues to hit the ring with an unmatched fury and exhibit a style that has become cheered by fans and feared by opponents. It was only so long that this shooting star was going to have to wait for a call from the "big leagues" and that's where GXW comes in... The future is an unwritten book...
