ALTHOUGH his name is actually Trevor Lee Caddell, the professional wrestler performs under the pseudonym, Cameron Grimes.
His father – a former wrestler named Tracy – passed away in July of 2018, aged 50.
Cameron Grimes – real name Trevor Lee – is the son of former wrestler and promoter, Tracy Caddell.
On July 29, 2018, Tracy passed away at his home in North Carolina.
Tracy was a founding member of OMEGA Championship Wrestling, first established as the East Coast Wrestling Federation (ECWF) in 1992.
OMEGA stands for Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts.
“Heartbroken by the passing of my friend, Tracy Caddell, father of Trevor Caddell,” wrestler Matt Hardy said in a tweet at the time.
“Tracy & I founded ECWF, which became OMEGA, together in 92.”
Hardy added that Tracy was injured in an accident during the 1990s, turning him from an athlete himself to his son’s “biggest supporter.”
Tracy’s own Twitter biography still reads: “Proud Father of Trevor Lee, the only 2nd Generation OMEGA wrestler!”
According to an interview with Sports Illustrated in February of 2022, Cameron Grimes made a promise to his late father while at his grave, vowing to “live out his pro wrestling dreams.”
“Losing him was awful,” Grimes said.
“I was very young when I started in this business. My father was always with me.”
He continued: “He was taking me to shows, taking me to dinner with the boys after the shows. We did everything together.”
“Without that tragedy, I don’t know if I’d be here,” Grimes added.
“I told my father that I was going to do this … I told my father I made it to the WWE.”
He concluded: “Nothing is going to stop me.”
Taking place over the weekend of April 2 and 3, 2022, WrestleMania 38 is a professional wrestling live event featuring a number of big-name performers fighting for the championship title.
