In a touching tribute to the recently deceased Jax Dane, WWE stars The War Raiders paid their honors on the latest episode of WWE RAW. Known as Jeremy Laymon in his personal life, Dane was a force to be reckoned with across various wrestling platforms such as NWA, ROH, TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, and OVW before his untimely passing.
This week on RAW, Erik and Ivar, the WWE World Tag Team Champions, sported black armbands featuring Dane’s name while battling it out with Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and Finn Balor.
Quote from the official NWA Twitter account: “Awesome tribute to former Worlds Heavyweight Champion Jax Dane on #WWERaw. #Respect.”
Maven, another fellow wrestler, recently gave a glimpse into wrestling techniques on his YouTube channel, explaining the feel of a Pedigree from Triple H, with whom he had three one-on-one encounters on WWE TV.
According to Maven, “For anybody that wants to know what the Pedigree, if it hurts or not, not at all. When he has your arms back and he comes down, it looks like he’s holding your arms, driving your face into the mat, but as you’re coming up and going down, he’s releasing your arms, which gives you the time to go down and take the face bump, not completely on your face and protect yourself.”
