1. What made you decide to become a professional wrestler?
Growing up I absolutely idolized Ric Flair. Heel Face whatever he was
at the time I loved him. His style and poise were unmatched and even as
a wee non smart fan I was able to see that when people wrestled Flair
they seemed to have better matches then usual. It was a desire to be like
him that made me initially have the dream of one day being a wrestler.
Another reason was the story of it all. I love intricate feuds and storylines
and I feel that its my job as a wrestler to make people believe even for
one second that it's real.
2. Who trained you? How did you find them as a trainer?
Initially I was trained at the BWO school in Garfield New Jersey by Magic.
I was friends with many people who went there such as New Wave and Corvis
Fear. My training wasn't really finished by the time the school closed
its doors so that's when through Next Generation (Jersey's resident Jedi
Knights) I found ECPW. There my training was finished by Mr Italy Gino
Caruso, Kodiak Bear, and Johnny Thunder to name a few.
3. What promotions do you/have you worked for?
I currently work for ECPW for their tv show Adrenaline and I also work
for Mike Morgan's AWA in Union City. I have also worked for BWO, SSCW,
UCW, and EWA
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?
ECPW is my home fed so it has a special place in my heart. Also the fans
at ECPW are something else man. Theres nothing like those people. AWA
comes in at a close second. Mike Morgan is an awesome guy and runs a terrific
show. I wouldn't say I have a least favorite promotion that I work for
or have worked for. I think of every time I'm out in front of a live crowd
as a learning experience.
5. What has been your most embarrassing moment in the sport so far?
Oh Jeez at an ECPW show I was powdered out of the ring by Next Generation,
Mario Zuto and Ace Wylde. I started walking backwards screaming at both
them and the fans at the ECPW arena and I tripped backwards over the steel
steps and proceeded to roll down them.
6. What has been your most memorable moment in the business
thus far?
My first match with Johnny Thunder comes to mind immediately. In an 8
minute tv match that guy taught me so much. It changed the way I look
at wrestling. He's a class act and a guy that really has such a knowledge
of the business. A true learning experience. Another was my first gimmick
match. I wrestled Playboy Marcus Shields in a dog collar match. It was
such a fun match and we had a blast.
7. What wrestlers do you most enjoy stepping into the ring with or
against?
My favorite opponents would have to be: Playboy Marcus Shields,
Kevin Apollo, Corvis Fear, Johnny Thunder, New Wave, Big Dan, Mario Zuto,
and Ace Wylde. As far as teaming with someone I have a blast with Corvis
Fear if were on the same side. Also I love having Referee Gary Morrere
referee my matches. He's a phenomenal referee.
What do you think of the current state of professional wrestling?
I think at the moment its harder for the smaller guys to make it but noone
should let that get them down because times change. I mean it used to
be all about hardcore then it became about technical now the gimmicks
are making a comeback. The "state" of the business changes I'd
say about ever 6 months it seems. I found it disheartening to find out
once that according to a survey wrestling is the second most hated sport
in America after dog-fighting. That means were better then dogs killing
each other for sport but worse then roosters killing each other for sport?
That bothered me for a while. Its been said about the sport of pro wrestling
that: In Canada its tradition, In Japan its honored, In Mexico its a religeon,
and in America its a joke....I hope one day
that can change.
9. When you're not wrestling, what do you enjoy doing?
I love to watch movies, write (I'm a journalism student), sleep as much
as I can, and attempt to have something or a normal life with my friends.
10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully still wrestling and writing for like a PWI or something like
that.
