​

How long have you been in the business?
1.5 years

​

What made you want to get into the business?   

I grew up watching wrestling religiously, and then revisited it around when I started college and I still loved it. So, I decided to go to school for something I'm passionate about, just not at a university.

​

Where did you learn to wrestle?

Ohio Valley Wrestling  

​

Why do you want to be a wrestler?

I want to be able to give back to my family and provide for a family one day doing something I love and believe I can be the best at. I know I'll never believe that behind a cubicle.

​

What are your signature moves?

Glitch Kick, Moonlight Drive, Pele Kick, Whale Hunt Slam, Rolling Frog Splash

 

What are your finishers?

Swanton Bomb, Disaster Kick

​

What promotions have you wrestled for?

Ohio Valley Wrestling, PrimeTime Wrestling, Renegade Wrestling Alliance

​

What injuries have you sustained so far?

None that I couldn't work through.

 

Are you mainly considered a face or a heel?

White meat babyface.

​

Who are the wrestlers you look up to?

Right now I look up to guys like Will Ospreay and Adam Cole. I'm 23, and seeing what they've already accomplished on the indies at young ages as well is motivating to me.

​

What are your favorite promotions to work for?

I'm currently happy working OVW the most. I enjoy working everywhere, but with Louisville being where I'm currently based out of and we pack the house there, we can put on some truly special matches.

​

What style do you do?

I'd consider myself to be a cruiserweight, but not necessarily a high flyer. I finish from the top and I'm not afraid to fly, but I enjoy being more of a striker. Any match I'm in expect kicks. Lots of kicks.

Tell us about your first match.

My first match, I got there 2 hours before the doors in the arena opened. From that point up until the match before ours went on, myself and the guy I wrestled stayed going over what we wanted to accomplish. My music hit, and my nerves and adrenaline were at an all time high. Two minutes in, and it took everything I had to not throw up in the middle of the ring. No one had a clue, but i was full on gagging and coughing lol. I calmed down, and we were rockin' and rollin'. We left the crowd cheering by the end of the match after 10 weeks of training, and to this day it's still one of my proudest moments.

​

Tell us about your most memorable match.

My most memorable match so far was a fatal 4-way for the OVW Championship this past summer. It pitted me against Daniel Eads, Mitch Huff, and Rocco Bellagio. It's memorable because of how well it worked, and I had some of my best friends from back home drive 4 hours just to watch it. 

​

What do your friends and family think about you wrestling?

They're supportive. The friends I had before I started weren't into it at all, but when the first saw it all they really enjoy watching now. My family supports me 100% of the way, their only complaint being I never get to come home anymore!

​

How far do you want to take your wrestling career?

To the main event at the Tokyo Dome and to the main event of Wrestlemania.

​

If you could change anything about indy wrestling what would it be?

I don't think I'd change a thing. I think everyone has their own POV of it as a worker, viewer, or casual viewer. You have both ends of the spectrum with the diehard fans all the way to the people who tell us what we do is "fake". How sore I am the next day tells a different story, but I digress. Whether you're a lover or a hater, you're reacting to it. And that reaction is what I want out of you.

 

Complete the following sentence:  If I don't make it to the WWE, I'll...

I'll wrestle at the top somewhere.

​

And one more sentence:  If I wasn't a wrestler, I would be a...awould be a guy with a regular job that doesn't involve spandex tights.
