“We Were Gonna Be Pro Wrestlers…”: Migos Member Opens Up on Takeoff’s Unfinished WWE Dream

Many kids idolize and admire popular celebrities throughout their childhoods. When it comes to wrestling, a lot of the current crop has been in some way inspired by the stars of yesteryears. Emulating one’s WWE idols by imitating their mannerisms or collecting memorabilia has been a favorite pastime of many a kid. Many aspire to enter the world of wrestling, but only a few get to realize their dream. But that doesn’t mean the end of the road for the rest, as there are other avenues to garnering fame.

That was certainly the case with the Hip hop group Migos members Quavo and the recently deceased Takeoff.

Quavo, who was also Takeoff’s uncle, recently took to Instagram to pen an emotional and heartfelt tribute. In the post, he mentioned the duo’s journey since childhood and their aspirations of becoming WWE stars someday.

He wrote, “Remember, our first dream was to be tag team partners in WWE. We fell in love with WWF wrestling…man we had action figures. Thought we was gonna be pro wrestlers cuz the way he imitated the wrestlers and if you know Take, his imitation skills are to the T…he could imitate anybody just ask Danny and P.”

The tragic passing of Takeoff

Takeoff was fatally shot while attending an after-party along with Quavo at a Bowling Alley in Houston. His untimely passing shook the music industry and the world to its core. The rapper gained a massive fan following at a very young age with his hip-hop skills.
