When he watched Randy Savage get bit on the arm from a King Cobra at the hands of Jake “The Snake” Roberts. From that moment, Robert couldn’t turn away.

Cody Howk

The man of 1004 nicknames has gone by many names, Mr. Howkstanding, Howk-a-licious, the Howk-Break-Kid, Howkamania, the Howkertaker, you get the point, but his real name is Cody Howk. He is a weather forecaster serving active duty in the United States Air Force, but his true passion has always been professional wrestling. The Ayatollah of Howk n Rolla became a wrestling fan when he was six years old when a friend invited him over to watch Wrestlemania X. Watching the organized chaos that occurred during the Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon Ladder match will forever be engraved into his mind.

Since then, he has attended as many Indy shows and televised shows as he can. This includes one ECW show, multiple WWE shows, and several local promotions in the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama area. In 2015, The Doctor of Howk-a-nomics started training to be a wrestler in Mississippi but unfortunately, he was transferred to Alaska just two weeks in and moved to a location where there are no local wrestling promotions. Now, he is forced to wait until he can move back to a location more suited to meet his wrestling needs.
