“Oh, they get rowdy. For sure. We have some guys that we have to shove out of the booth, but I don’t mind it, I’m a fighter, I’m kind of used to confrontation.

Biaggio shared: “My mum always told us that we were going to have to work a little bit harder if we were to be successful in sports, just because of the name.”
