- ニックネームの由来 – 「15歳の時の話さ。キックボクシングの州タイトルを何度か取ってる20代半ばのヤツと戦ったんだ。相手も無敗だった。オレがヤツをボコボコにしたら、みんな目をむいていたよ。それがオレの初試合。それから親父にDEEPに放り込まれた。本気でやる気があるのか、確かめたかったんだろうね。倒した相手はがっくりきてたよ。初試合の15歳にボコられたんだからな。彼はこう言ったんだ――“なんであの少年とリングに入ることになったのかまったく分からない”って。これを聞いたコメンテーターがオレをワンダーボーイって呼んだんだ。あとは、もっと小さい頃に歌って踊ってたら、姉の当時のボーイフレンドがオレをスティービー・ワンダーって呼んだんだ。そこからワンダーボーイに変わったのさ。はは、クレイジーだろ」
