Early life

Tigran Asatryan was born on April 22, 1975 in the city of Ejmiatsin (now known as Vagharshapat) to Aram Asatryan, who was a famous Armenian singer, and Nvart Gevorkyan. He graduated from the Khachatur Abovyan Secondary School No. 4 in Ejmiatsin. As a child, he was engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling and became the champion of Armenia three times. In 2000, he moved to the United States.[1]
