As a wrestling tag team, Pittsburgh’s The Mane Event – Ganon Jones Jr. and Duke Davis – look like superheroes. Tall, with long dreadlocks, smiles that are equally endearing and intimidating, and an almost otherworldly ability to anticipate one another’s moves and take the bad guys down, the duo’s story is as magical as their presence in the ring.
Both are fathers of 3-year-old daughters. Both gleaned their love of the ring (both wrestling and boxing) from older women relatives an aunt or grandmother. Their undercover jobs, in finance and mortgage, are as peaceably Clark Kent as it gets. And they both miss the small joys of the road long talks, gearing up, and gas-station chili cheese dogs.
