WWE Legend confirms son will have tryout at SummerSlam

There are a lot of perks that come with signing a WWE Legends contract. One of them, apparently, is that you can get your kids a tryout with the company. 

Tatanka, who signed his WWE Legends contract in 2015, has confirmed that his son Joseph will be getting a tryout with the company at SummerSlam.

Tatanka shared two photos of his sons, Joseph and Jeremiah, on Facebook. The first shows the two boys as children, posing backstage with Jimmy and Jey Uso backstage at a WWE event. The next shows the two at Nattie’s Dungeon 2.0 training facility in Florida.

“So proud of our boys!” Tatanka wrote. “There’s nothing you both can not accomplish! From visiting at a PPV with The Usos and Superstars of the WWE years ago to now training at the Dungeon 2.0 where Joseph has received an official try-out at SummerSlam and Jeremiah will be right behind him since he’s only 17 years old currently.” 

Tatanka then listed his sons’ athletic credentials.

“Joseph, an elite football player and state runner-up in powerlifting and Jeremiah as a sophomore has accomplished winning a state championship and [three-time] national championship in wrestling!”

Tatanka then dubbed his family “THE FIRST BLOODLINE” and acknowledged his sons as official members of the Lumbee tribe of North Carolina. 

Tatanka is best known for his first run with the World Wrestling Federation in the early to mid-1990s. He began his career with an undefeated streak that lasted nearly three full years before he lost to Ludvig Borga. He would return to the promotion (now known as World Wrestling Entertainment) several times, most recently competing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32 in 2016.
