The questions are asked by me and the answers are written by the Stars themselves.
- 1. Why did you want to become a pro wrestler? I felt called to it in a certain way. Since I was 13 years old and saw WWF for the first time I knew I wanted to do it. I wanted to be that guy in the ring that everyone's attention was on.
2.Who is your Favorite Wrestler and why? I love watching Dean Malenko he has no waste in motion whatsoever every move he makes in the ring has a purpose and even if he makes a mistake you have to watch very closely to see it.
3. What is the best experience in or out of the ring you have had in pro wrestling and why?
Out of the ring, the first wrestling tape I ever bought when I was about 12 or 13 was Starrcade 87. The event featured the Scaffold Match between Rock 'N' Roll Express and Midnight Express. Now fast forward to just last year, I worked the TCW show in Memphis. Where I met and I am now, good friends with, Bobby Eaton. While at the event I found myself and Bobby, sitting out on the patio of the convention center having a conversation with Ricky Morton, if that isn't full circle....
4. What was the Coolest venue/location you have wrestled in and why? I wrestled in the Desoto Civic Center for the Mid South Fair. Just the huge enormity of it was kind of humbling.
- 5. Who is the most experienced or well known person you have wrestled? I have wrestled Bill Dundee, Bobby Eaton, Rudy Boy Gonzalez
6. Is there a story behind your wrestling name? I was doing a promo class right after I started training to be a wrestler. One night up at Ken Wayne's Wrestling School, Brian Thompson and I made my name up on the spot and I started doing promos with it.
7. Who over the years has been your Biggest Rival and why? I have actually had an extended feuds with multiple people who brought out the best in me. Austin Lane and Moe Stegall just to name a few.
8. What is your entrance theme Music? The Little Things by Danny Elfman
9. What makes you stand out in the wrestling business? I have a mat wrestling background and that combined with my training from Ken Wayne makes it to where I am pretty stout competition for anyone I get in the ring with
10. What has been your Proudest Moment in the sport of wrestling? In 2010 I was Rookie of the Year for RRONEWS.com and at the same time I was the US Jr. Heavyweight Champion which was the belt that Ken Wayne himself defended all around the country. I feel that was a pretty good moment.
