METAIRIE, La. -- At the time, James Laurinaitis said, growing up as the son of a pro wrestling star just felt “normal.”
“Until you grow up and realize not everyone’s dad had a mohawk and mullet combination and face paint,” Laurinaitis said.
The New Orleans Saints’ new middle linebacker has talked before about growing up as the son of “Animal” from the Road Warriors and Legion of Doom, and how he learned his work ethic from his famous dad.
But Laurinaitis had the room full of media members cracking up Thursday when he shared the lighter side of his upbringing.
