My first question is do you watch TNA and if so how long have you been watching TNA?
I've been watching TNA since the Wednesday night Pay-Per-View days, so it's pretty surreal to be in a position where I could possibly end up on the show.
What are your thoughts on the new Gutcheck Challenge with the fans voting?
In some aspects I can appreciate it, because they guy that ends up on television is the guy that the TNA fans want to see. On the other hand I could easily see some brackets turning into a contest of who has the most friends willing to vote for them on Facebook.
Which wrestler inspired you to become a professional wrestler?
In all honesty, it was The Amazing Red. I'm not a very tall guy at 5'9 and back when I was 16, I was maybe a buck fifty. So seeing someone my size get in there on PPV and hang with everyone else made me decide to give it a shot.
Who trained you to be a wrestler?
Originally I was trained by a local guy named Havoc. After that I took classes and seminars from guys like Lance Storm, Fit Finlay, Dr. Tom Pritchard, Nick Dinsmore, and Tyson Kidd to name a few.
Which promotion do you primarily wrestle for?
That would be DOA Pro Wrestling based out of Portland, OR though I also frequent ECCW in Canada and Roddy Piper and The Grappler's Portland Wrestling Uncut.
What is your finishing move called and what exactly is it?
My finishing move is called "Starstruck" and it's a running knee strike to the side of the head. Similar to William Regal's Knee Trembler.
For those that have never seen you wrestle what makes you stand out?
I think what makes me stand out is I'm not just some generic indy guy. There's no one like me on the TNA roster or any roster for that matter. I always find a way to stand out.
Have you ever had a match with anyone in the Gutcheck Challenge?
I have infact! I've wrestled Ravenous Randy Myers and Mike Santiago and numerous occasions.
If you could have a match with anyone in TNA who would you choose?
Whomever is drawing the most money for TNA at the time. To select anyone else would be foolish.
What is your gimmick?
My character is that of a self-absorbed rapper who refuses to believe he's anything less the best. It's pretty true to home as I do have an album and occasionally perform live shows when my wrestling schedule permits.
Is there any wrestler out there that you would compare yourself too?
No. When you watch me wrestle you're getting a unique experience. The very same as if you listen to my music.
