In Craig's case, he was given up for adoption by his then-teenage parents when he was only an infant and he bounced from foster home to foster home as a young boy. He finally settled in a foster home in Maryland, where he shared a room with a Mexican orphan who went by Tony. Together through hardship and similar experiences, they became life-long friends. Both Craig and Tony had a love for street life, and often got into trouble throughout their school years. When they reached the age of 18, they both dropped out of school, earned their GEDs and entered a wrestling training camp. There they both took on the surname "Bullet" and began working exclusively as a tag team. Their speed, agility and sneaky heel tactics made them a dangerous duo, and they captured 4 tag titles at the independent level. After dominating for 2 years, the WWE offered both a contract. They have continued their tag team dominance and enjoy making fans jealous of their success. Career Overview Year 1: Began the year aligned with Tony Bullet in a tag team...
