Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
Today is one of those two-fers. It features two celebrities and two friends of mine. Of course, Kal Herro and David Vox Mullen would humbly reject the celebrity label. Hopefully, they wouldn't reject my friend assertation.
I have known Kal for most of his life. I have attended wrestling shows promoted by his father David for at least 15 years. I have seen Kal grow from a toddler around the ring to a legit up and coming wrestling star. He has already held a few titles, including the Oho Valley Wrestling Heavyweight championship. He has the looks and all-around ring skills to go far in wrestling. Even better, he has the mindset to remain humble. He really is a great youg man.
I haven't known Vox as long, but I have watched his career progress a bitt, too. I met him as a comedian many years ago. Since then, he has gotten involved in wrestling at OVW, created an act with wrestler Al Snow and was a huge part of a documentary on David Herro (a great doc, by the way).
That doc was the setting for the picture below. Of course, Kal and Vox probably have dozens of pictures together, some of which I have even managed to take. The Wisconsin premiere of The Herro's Journey was an awesome night. Friends and family joined Kal, Vox, David and all others involved for a screening. It was a fantastic documentary about a great father-son relationship, with wrestling as the backdrop. You do not need to like wrestling to enjoy this film. Just seeing the bond between father and son was enough to bring a tear to my eyes.
I am proud to know Kal and Vox. You will not meet two finer humans. You will not find more entertaining folks either.
