​​
How long have you been in the business?
This is my fourth year
​
What made you want to get into the business?
I grew up a fan, watching it as a kid it was like watching comic books come to life, I decided I wanted to get in on the action lol.
​
Where did you learn to wrestle?
At the Underground School Of Pro Wrestling with Micah And Tracy Taylor. The school is no longer running but I still represent it everywhere I go because there's no way I'd be as able as I am without them training me initially.
​
Why do you want to be a wrestler?
An overall love for the business in general and because pro wrestling is the perfection combination of art and sport. Combining that with the need for constant travel and it became my dream job as soon as I learned what it entailed.
​
What are your signature moves?
Leg Sweep/Murder Elbow Combination, Release Overhead Suplex, Flying Knee Strike, Stroke/Crossface Combination
What are your finishers?
The Rectifier DDT, and The Kill Room submission.
​
What promotions have you wrestled for?
I've worked for so far: Global Championship Wrestling, Anarchy Wrestling, Peachstate Wrestling Alliance, Monstrosity Championship Wrestling, Why We Wrestle, All Pro Championship Wrestling, Pro South Wrestling, Platinum Championship Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Ego, TWE Chattanooga, Sunbelt Wrestling Entertainment, Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment.
​
What injuries have you sustained so far?
None so far! (I may not be human ha ha)
Are you mainly considered a face or a heel?
I am heel in most places, but I've been able to play babyface well too.
​
Who are the wrestlers you look up to?
Gonna answer that in two parts: My current favorite guys are/were Marty Scrull and Tommy End (I know they both just got recently signed contracts so technically they may not count). A combination of their fighting styles and overall presentation of their personas, I envy their work in a high regard and respectful sort of way.
​
Now as far as before I got started myself, watching CM Punk, Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels and Low Ki made me believe I could do this myself. Not huge guys but huge personalities and amazing wrestling skills.
​
What are your favorite promotions to work for?
Why We Wrestle in Cornelia (held in the former building of Anarchy Wrestling), Pro South Wrestling, and Sunbelt Wrestling Entertainment are my current favorites to work for, I also really love wrestling for Monstrosity Championship Wrestling but their shows are few and far in between these days sadly.
​
What style do you do?
My style is a bit of a mash up of various styles. I favor strikes more than anything but I can toss some flying, power, and ground grappling in there depending on the opponent and the audience.
Tell us about your first match.
had my first match in March 2012 against a guy named Otto Von Gruber (he has since retired) for GCW in Pell City Alabama. When I got to the building I remember being a bit nervous but beyond excited though worried the audience my be crickets when I come out (luckily it was the opposite). Once I went out and my music hit I was more fired up than nervous and the match went off well despite at the time feeling like I wasn't ready. Afterwards I felt pretty accomplished but I was ready to do more and here we are!
​
Tell us about your most memorable match.
I have quite a few different matches that are memorable to me for various reasons. All of which are available on you tube. I would have to say a match I had with Ace Rockwell would be my most memorable match. Ace played a major part in my training and still gives me advice to this day. So being able to work with him was an honor. I have provided a link to that match as well as a link to other matches.
​
What do your friends and family think about you wrestling?
Most of everyone I know thinks it's pretty cool, I'd have continued on even if they didn't as I'm a bit of a solitary individual but it's nice that most are fairly supportive about it.
​
How far do you want to take your wrestling career?
Ultimately I'd like to find my way to NJPW, ROH, Lucha Underground, or WWE permanently. In fact I'd really be happy if by my career's end I have worked for all of them.
​
If you could change anything about indy wrestling what would it be?
I'd like to have people see Indy Wrestling as an alternative to the big dance and not as much of a side show act as they see us sometimes. Indy wrestling spawned some big stars, I feel like it will continue preparing guys and girls for that big spotlight and I hope that both fans and wrestlers will see it that way.
​
Complete the following sentence: If I don't make it to the WWE, I'll...
I'll continue doing the thing on the indies and hopefully at indies around the world until my body says to stop.
​
And one more sentence: If I wasn't a wrestler, I would be a...A scientist, most likely an astrophysicist or a biologist, and a musician plus I'd illustrate my own graphic novels (both these things may still happen).
