L'ARTISTE
What sports did you play while growing up?
I was on my schools Basketball, Volleyball, and track teams.
Hmmmm, I had average grades and I was mildly popular.
When I was smaller, it was Hulk Hogan, as I grew older and become more of a fan of wrestling, it was Sabu, Rey Mysterio Jr.
I always loved it, and always thought it would be cool to do it, but it wasn’t until Sexy Baby Jamie Jackson and I found a wrestling school in our area that we were actually interested in wrestling.
Like I said, Sexy Baby Jamie Jackson and I found a wrestling school in our area.
We talked to a guy named Steve Buckley.
I worked at a grocery store for 9 years, then at a gym for 9 months.
I talked to Mark Anderson over e-mail, and he had heard of me, and invited me to wrestle on his first show.
I have wrestled for at least 15 different Indy groups.
I was scared. The match was ok, not the best, not my worst.
RWA was my first Indy group, and home group, then a few of us traveled to CWM, which was in Michigan.
My family hates wrestling, well, except for my dad, he digs it.
Sexy Baby Jamie Jackson, or DANGERBOY Derek Wylde.
Get an education first.
It was wrestling a dark match at WCW Nitro in Cleveland, Ohio in front of 15000 people.
I wanted to retire because I was tired of getting hurt.
I didn’t plan on wrestling here in Florida, I just came here on Vacation and liked it so much I wanted to stay. I went to a IPW show (indy group down here) and liked what I saw.
Somewhere making more money then I am now.
I just want to be making money, doing what I do, and doing what I like to do... Doesn’t matter where. :)
