How far do you want to take your wrestling?

As long as my body will let me and as long as people still want to see what I have to offer..

If you could change anything about indy wrestling or how people perceive pro wrestling, what would you change and why?

That’s a tough one… I want people to understand that no matter how “staged” wrestling is there’s a lot more that happens in our lives then people understand like the long term effects that wrestling puts on our bodies, brains, and relationships.. we are humans that love to entertain people..

Complete the following sentence: If I don’t make it to the WWE…

I’ll keep at until another opportunity comes around be it Japan, ROH, Impact, Europe.. the goal is and will always be WWE but I understand the market and what they look for so you never know what could happen.

And one more sentence: If I wasn’t a wrestler…

I would be a entertainer of some sort but realistically I can’t see my self being anything other than an wrestler.

What do you want to be known for in the business?

Someone who goes out every show and makes the people happy by giving all I’ve got this is what I love to do and I want to share my love with people!
