MINI BIOGRAPHY
Growing up in Memphis in the early 90s, childhood friends Dan Funk & Brodie Dawson wanted nothing more than to grow up and become professional wrestlers. Their favorite tag team was The Southern Express, always watching tapes of their matches together and hoping that one day they could see them live, although their families were too poor to afford to take them to a show. One fateful day, the teenage Heat Packers finally pooled enough money together to see the Southern Express when they were announced for an indie show in Memphis. But the Southern Express they saw that day was not the Southern Express they grew up with. They were old, slow, and worst of all, lost the match. Dan & Brodie couldn't believe it. They finally understood why people say "never meet your heroes." Disgusted at how far their heroes had fallen, Dan & Brodie were forever changed. As soon as they entered their 20s, they trained to become professional wrestlers, but not to be as great as The Southern Express... BUT TO BE BETTER! Fueled by anger and a need to prove that the tag team wrestling they watched as kids did not die in The Southern Express' old age, The Heat Packers competed all over the world on the independent scene, winning tag championships wherever they went. They were determined to accomplish one goal: face The Southern Express and put the sad, old men down. Finally, after 10 years on the indie scene, The Heat Packers' work paid off, and they were offered by Dimitri Graves to join Jack Severn in Graves Enterprises and sign with the EWC for their Prime brand. Their season did go end well, however, with the team losing all of their matches after their Gambit tryout. With their most humbling loss being to The Southern Express in the latter team's retirement match at WrestleFest, The Heat Packers now look to regroup and change their attitude heading into the next season...
