Life’s crazy. Think about the domino effect. If Dominic doesn’t train my dad, my life probably doesn’t exist. Life’s moments are unique.

Very sad to hear of the passing of a true legend. Dominic was an inspiration to many. I watched him on Superstars Of Wrestling and being Italian I was instantly a DeNucci fan.
