1. What made you decide to become a professional wrestler?

It's everything I have ever wanted, since I seen my first wrestling match. The acting, the sport, and the entertainment of it all is the greatest thing in the world to me.

2. Who trained you? How did you find them as a trainer?

I was trained by local star "Your Rolemodel" Ric Lieb. I discovered him when I attended a T.V. taping of my now home promotion.

3. What promotions do you/have you worked for?

I currently work for the United Wrestling Council, and I am doing a show for Extreme Wrestling Entertainment, and possiably Freak Show Wrestling, and as soon as they get started i'll be working Fortitude Championship Wrestling.

4. Of all the promotions you have worked for, which have been your favorites? Why? Any least favorites you've seen or worked for? Why?

Well utill after this summer I can only comment on the United Wrestling Council, and I have loved every minuete of it. The locker room is great, the promoter is a realy great honest guy. I can't say enough great stuff about it.

5. What has been your most embarrassing moment in the sport so far?

My most embarrassing moment came when I was still a ref, and I went out to the ring and the crowd started making fun of me saying my fly was down, well I didn't believe them, and got to the back after the match and had one of the guys tell me it really was down.

6. What has been your most memorable moment in the business thus far?

That's easy it has to be my first match, I thought I was wrestling one guy, then when it came time I was told i'd be wrestling two guys! In a hardcore match. It was great though I ended up being a bloody mess, I got to the back and everyone congradu;lated me saying I reminded them of old school Dusty Rhodes with the way I was bleeding.

7. What wrestlers do you most enjoy stepping into the ring with or against?

I love any work I get to do with Miguel Sanchez, he is a great wrestler, I would love to work a match with The Purple Hooter, and Mike Hercum.

8. What do you think of the current state of professional wrestling?

I think because of Vince McMahon wrestling has taken a huge step down in popularity. I give the man credit, he helped make it as big as it has ever been, but then he bought his competition, and it has become bland and boring. As for the indy level we have felt that same bad vibe as our shows have lost a little steam to. It is a chain effect, when big promotions are good so are the indys, when big promotions are doing abad so are the indys.

What's your take on the "strong style" that's prevalent with a lot of indy workers?

I like it, it makes for more entertaining matchs for the crowd. And when you have the crowd more entertained the better you are.

9. When you're not wrestling, what do you enjoy doing?

I love to train, hangout with my friends, drink a little, and spend time with my girl and her two kids.

10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I hope to be in NWA-TNA, it is a dream of mine to work there, but mostly I see myself doing what I love more then anythiong in the world and thats wrestling no matter what level i'm at.
