Tatanka was honored by WWE and officially signed to a WWE Legends Contract, a prestigious recognition that solidified his lasting impact on professional wrestling. This honor not only celebrated his contributions to the industry but also cemented his legacy in WWE history. As a proud Native American warrior, Tatanka’s journey—from his undefeated streak to his iconic battles in the ring—became an inspiration to generations of wrestling fans. His name now stands among the legends who helped shape the world of sports entertainment, ensuring that his legacy will live on for years to come.

After having great success on the independent market I was contacted by WWE to appear on Monday Night Raw. It was supposed to be a one night appearance, but the loyal fans of the WWE reacted to my surprise appearance in such a great way that it turned into a multi-year contract with the number one sports entertainment company in the world, WWE.

1996: Took time off from wrestling 300 days per year for 5 years to start a family. Today, I realize this was a key decision in our family. Many in my business don't have children and have missed one of the greatest blessings in life with your bloodline to carry-on the family legacy!

Only 1 year after pursing my dream I signed with the WWF in 1990. From 1991 through 1993 I faced the greatest wrestling talent in the world and had run up a 2-year undefeated streak and had become a household name and fan favorite in the WWF. This was the time era I cemented my legacy with WWF (WWE).

Met my wife, Michelle Chavis in NYC, home to Monday Night Raw from the Manhattan Center in NYC. Like they say in the country, “we were 2 peas in a pod” and always enjoined each other's company and why we're still married today, 28 years later. Today, we're so proud and blessed to have 4 awesome children that are all succeeding in life; Christiana, Rhea, Joseph, and Jeremiah. A testament to showing love and speaking greatness into their lives!

As Divisional Manager for one of Bally’s Corporation largest health club facilities I pursued the dream of becoming a Professional Wrestler at the largest sports entertainment company in the world, World Wrestling Federation. I was sure of the dream, but it didn't come without a risk and price to pay! I had become one of Bally’s largest grossing sales managers in the Corporation, producing annually a million dollars in sales personally. You must take risks and believe what’s in your inner spirit and act on it! So, in 1989 I pursued a Pro Wrestling career as a proud Native American Warrior known then as “War Eagle” Chris Chavis.
