## Trivia

* Striker is a former pornographic film actor. His character, that of a bowler with "big balls" was carried over into his wrestling gimmick.
* Striker is currently in a relationship with Colombian model, former pornographic actress, and wrestler-in-training Ana. Ana also serves as his manager at ringside. Despite Ana revealing Striker to be her "lover" on Anarchy #73, they were already an item well before the fact as they were frequently shown together in TWA.
* While unconfirmed, the inspiration of the character of Striker is more or less lifted from former WWE wrestler Val Venis, a wrestler with a pornstar gimmick.
* After the conversion between Ana and El Noveno at Resonance, the two went back to the hotel to discuss business with Striker. Due to their ties with the porn industry and Noveno's status as pansexual, it is implied that all 3 people had sex at the hotel together, though this is also unconfirmed.
* In English, Striker's finishers translate to "Strike" (Spear) and the "7-10 Split" (Shattered Dreams).
* Striker was originally created/owned by TWAWorld. A.W.A.C. Creator/Owner Donte Hamid had to re-create Striker from scratch since he used a PS4 and TWA used Xbox for WWE 2K19.
