- Thank you so much for your time, we are always delighted to be able to introduce talents for the "Pro Wrestling Interview Series Tour 2019".

 

- When and how did you get into Pro wrestling? My friends had a backyard wrestling show that they would film my senior year of high school, I would go watch (it wasn’t anything dangerous, more based on characters and story lines) and then we all started watching Smackdown together. I went from being a skeptic to the most wrestling-obsessed of the group. My first favorite wreslers were Edge, Jeff Hardy, The Spirit Squad and DX.

 

As for training, I started in 2012 at a barn near my house. I was having some self-worth issues and needed something to do to keep myself motivated. Some friends were saying I should do roller derby and I decided if I was going to to anything like that I would be wrestling. I had no athletic background when I started training.

 

- Did you family and friends support your decission or were they rather sceptic? It was a mixture. My parents really hated it. Some of my friends really pushed me to do it, others made fun of me.

- Can you still recall your first training sessions?

 

Yes, it was a crip fall evening in a barn, the ring was covered in bat droppings which needed to be swept off daily. The ring was also a boxing ring which was sinking into the ground. All I was allowed to do was take back bumps, over and over and over (it went on like that for a while) so I would go home sore and sleep on a heating pad. They tried to make me quit. It didn’t work.

 

- And what was it like to wrestle in front of an live crowd for the first time?Were you nervous?

 

I was very nervous. The girl I was wrestling bullied me too so that didn’t help.

 

 

- Do you have a ‚dream opponent‘ you want to fight above all others? If I could hop in a time machine I would want to wrestle Johnny Saint, Bret Hart, or Curt Henning. I love what’s going on in the UK so to do a tour over there would be awesome, and of course all the ladies in the WWE are amazing.

 

- Do you have Pro Wrestling idols, maybe people who have influenced your in-ring style? Or Childhood heroes?

 

I enjoy catch wrestling, world of sport, 80’s style wrestling, I love the Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man. I mean, there’s just so much variety.

 

- Wrestling Fans loves funny or thrilling road stories. Do you have one for us you can share? It’s usually just me....

 

- When a booker or company from your Country or arround the world will book you where can they contact you?
