What sparked your interest in wrestling?
Well I used to watch it religiously when I was like ten with my uncle( who introduced it to me), first show I watch was Sting and Flair! was hooked then!

How did you break into wrestling?
Well after training with Pierre Martel (aka Frenchy Martin) I had a break to work a show in Zephyrhills , Fl call N.S.W (New School Wrestling)!

Who did you look up to as a kid?
Razor Ramon( Scott Hall) I thought he was very entertaining and charismatic! His ladder match with Shawn Michaels was a highlight for me!

What was your first match, give us a little detail on it.
Well I was tagging with George Martel at this time against this group called the Night Stalkers! we were all friends and I wasn’t sure I would be booked till they needed a tag match! so I was in a tanktop and khaki’s and I went out and had a all out brawl with these guys, which was not very good, but the crowd and fans liked it and that reaction kept me on the roster!

What is your greatest accomplishment in wrestling?
Well I had a few, but the biggest one was my match with D’Lo brown at TAP (Tampa All Pro) I was a big fan of his when he was in WWE, so when I got a opportunity to wrestle him I was livid! so I would say that was my greatest moment in my career!

Whats your favorite/least favorite promotion to work for?
My all time favorite promotion was ACW ( America Combat Wrestling) I spent almost three years on a every Tuesday basis and special once a months shows in New port Richey, Daytona, and Spring hill Florida, it was my second chance in this sport I got to wrestle some of the best in the state there, and most memorable to me is winning the title from the Top Heavyweight in the state, Bruce Santee, he really push me and made me want to get better in this sport! Worst Promotion would be a Place called F.L.O.W ( Future Legends of Wrestling) it was just wrong in all ways, the shows were horribly booked and promoted, and the crowd was small, and the promoters were just selfish and unprofessional! not a good place to work!

What are your current hates about the wrestling business?
What I hate most is the lack of Respect and dues earned, it’s becoming where if you don’t know this guy or kinda suck up to this promoter, those who really work hard and do have talent don’t get a chance cause of those other wrestlers that just seem to just sneak there way to bigger spots and shows, what is lacking is trust, and worth, if someone can be trusting and a wrestler is well worth it, why can’t that wrestler be used to the best of there ability! it’s the small things that make me wonder ” why do I do this”! but I push on…

What are you current loves of the wrestling business?
The Fans! I love the reaction, the thrill, it’s nothing better then the feeling of a few hundred fans just chanting your name or chanting for you to get up from getting knocked down, they make it worth it, the overall thrill and eagerness to do great matches is what keeps me loving this profession.

What are you goals in the business?
Well the goals stay the same, I want to keep working out, in the ring and in the gym and push to get a spot nation wide in the eyes of other top promotions like ROH, TNA, and if it was possible WWE.

Life on the road has to be ridiculous sometimes, give us one moment that you’ll never forget.
God, there is alot of great road trips, one I would say I was riding with some guys to a show to Miami, and one of the wrestlers I know (not saying names) but he has a strong tough voice and was just talking away, then he got a phone call from his mother and completely turned from this tough guy to this British sounding kid saying “Mami” and asking for cookies, so we kinda ragged on him for like three hours about that, and that night after the show he didn’t ride back home with us! I think we hurt his feelings, it was hilarious.
