first time?

 

Earl: Yea my first match was in front of 40 people in a freezing cold warehouse in a very rough neighborhood in queens ny ! It was january and so cold steam was coming out of my mouth the entire match. I was Good on the microphone but terrible in the match , that held true for the early part of my career lol! As far as the live crowd it was cool but i had been in bands and played large venues before so i was pretty used to it.
