MEDIA TOUR with MOOSE
To preview the TNA live events in Syracuse, former multi-time TNA World Champion Moose returns to Syracuse, New York on Thursday & Friday, February 26-27 to speak with media and make appearances in the area and on campus.
Moose is a two-time TNA World Champion and a former X-Division Champion, among other in-ring accolades.
Quinn Ojinnaka, the real-life Moose, played for four teams over seven seasons in the National Football League after being drafted by the Falcons in the 5th round in 2006. He played for the Falcons from 2006-2010. As a rookie in 2006, he played in 11 games. In 2007, Ojinnaka played in 11 games and had seven starts at left tackle.
Ojinnaka’s NFL career also included time with the New England Patriots, where he was teammates with legendary quarterback Tom Brady while playing for one of the best NFL head coaches in history, Bill Belichick.
Ojinnaka played 62 NFL games after playing at Syracuse.
Moose and Bill Goldberg, another fellow former Atlanta Falcons player, are the only former NFL players from the modern era to have gone from the NFL to become the World Champion of a pro wrestling company.
In fact, there are only four others in addition to Moose & Goldberg to have ever gone from the NFL to World Championship glory in pro wrestling, including Bronko Nagurski, who is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The others are Ernie Ladd, Dick the Bruiser and Gus Sonnenberg.
