Well, you probably know that Ryan Gosling was born on the same day as you, but did you know that you also share a b-day with Trent Acid?!!!!!!

Who is Trent Acid you may ask?

Trent Acid is well known for competing in Combat Zone Wrestling. He debuted with CZW in 1999 and competed mostly in singles matches. At the first Cage of Death, he teamed with White Lotus to face the Kashmerinoes of Johnny Kashmere and Robbie Mireno. Acid wrestled many matches against Kashmere before teaming up with him to form The Backseat Boyz. The Backseat Boyz became a very successful team and won the CZW Tag Team Championship. While part of this team, Acid still wrestled in the singles division and won the CZW World Junior Heavyweight Championship three times, competing against the likes of Ruckus and Justice Pain for the title. He also became the second Best of the Best winner by defeating Jody Fleisch in the final match at Best of the Best 2. In September 2003, Acid won the vacant CZW Iron Man Championship by defeating Nick Gage and Jimmy Rave in a three way match.

So get'm in a headlock and pull no punches tomorrow.

Happy B-day
