The two separate paths may have been different between Hollywood and Elvis, but they both found fame in the limelight. Hollywood began performing in his Grandfather’s nightclubs and gambling venues growing up, while covering songs made famous by the legendary Outlaws; such as, Alabama, Chuck Berry, David Allen Coe, Donny Osmond, Jonny Cash, Jonny Paycheck, Kenny Rodgers, Hank Jr., Kriss Christopherson, Michael Jackson, Waylon, and of course, Elvis Presley.

Hollywood’s ongoing performances sparked his interest in business, which ultimately enhanced his personal understanding and overall outlook on how to successfully network with others by building strong business and social relationships. As a result, he made a name as for himself as one of the most popular American Gladiators, also known as, “Wolf” in the highly broadcasted television show, American Gladiators airing on the NBC network. In addition, Yates also was a featured stuntman and a professional wrestler in the WWE due to his physical appearance and ambition to awe his audiences. Hollywood was also seen on television shows such as, Access Hollywood, Deal or No Deal, Living With Abandon, Hang Tough, The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Pyramid, The Unjust, Vampire Slayers, VH1’s Best Week Ever, The Wall, When Shadows Die, and much more.
