Nick Grymes is on the current SPWA roster. He has held several championships during his tenure with this organization. His matches can be found on YouTube. I have had the pleasure watching his work earlier this month in Ramer, Tn. He was impressive in his manor and his ring skills were fun to watch.
I was not able to speak to Mr Grymes on that night for very long due to his obligations. but when I did he impressed me with his respect. Since the event I have chatted with him Via Facebook and he has a genuine love for the sport and I believe he has a passion to learn as much as he can to progress his career.

1. Why did you want to become a pro wrestler? I grew up like most, Saturday morning the tv was on channel 5 for USWA, and so on. I was hooked, and once I attended my first live indy event in 2004, hearing the reaction from the crowd to the performer's was captivating and I knew instantly I was going to do whatever I could to be apart of it.
2.Who is your Favorite Wrestler and why? I can't just name one, impossible but here are guys at the top. Curt Henning, Triple H, Bryan Danielson, Low Ki, and Johnny Saint, why? All 5 of those men are truly the best at what they do and the style they choose, you never know what to expect in a match other than 110%
3. What is the best experience in or out of the ring you have had in pro wrestling and why? Away from the ring would be the memories made on the road, In the ring would be the riots myself, Michael Gilbert and Grady Watson have caused at the end of our matches. Nnothing beats the adrenaline rush of fan's surrounding the ring trying to attack you as you head to the back and in the parking lot.
4. What was the Coolest venue/location you have wrestled in and why? Love the stage and lights at SPWA in Ramer TN near perfect set up there next up Florence Coliseum
5. Who is the most experienced or well known person you have wrestled? Rudy Boy Gonzalez, Don Bass, UltraMantis Black, had several other encounters but that's all the matches that come to mind at the moment
6. Is there a story behind your wrestling name? Yeah, there's not really a story behind it. A couple people in the business shot the name to me online and when I told my trainers about it, it just stuck
7. Who over the years has been your Biggest Rival and why? Kilo and Josh Matthews both are excellent athletes and every time I stepped into a ring with them I felt like I had to step it up. I haven't seen Kilo in a while so if you see this, thank you for believing in me and pushing me to improve and for being the reason I'll never listen to "Dirt Road Anthem" again lol.
8. What is your entrance Theme Music? Sad I don't know the name of my own music but its by Skrillex
9. What makes you stand out in the wrestling business? I love to incorporate the Japanese style into my matches using strikes and various suplexs that not only catches my opponent off guard but the fans
