DO or DIE

About Me

So, I have this theory. When I was little, my parents wouldn't let me watch professional wrestling on television. When something is forbidden, it makes you want it even more.Somehow someway, I've been involved in the professional wrestling industry for the last ten years. Trained by "The Canadian Destroyer" Doug Chevalier, I've worked for over 70 different promotions , including:Total Nonstop Action, Ring Of Honor, Juggalo Championshit Wrestling, Shimmer Women Athletes, IWA Mid-South, Combat Zone Wrestling, Border City Wrestling, All American Wrestling, Maryland Championship Wrestling and Detroit's own Xtreme Intense Championship Wrestling, Insane Wrestling Federation and Revolucha.Thanks to wrestling, I've also produced/appeared in nationwide DVD's , been in motion pictures and videogames , been seen on pay-per-view and national television, have graced the pages of Pro Wrestling Illustrated & The Wrestler and quite frankly...words can't describe my wonderful friends that I get to enjoy life with.But maybe if Mom and Dad had just let me watch some stupid wrestling, I'd be a rich ass doctor or a lawyer today. All their fault. =)"All of the anticipation of the moment hit me, and I instinctively knew the miracle of manipulating energy and tapping into an infinite source of power and harnessing it in a small space with your friends was what I was put on this Earth to do" - Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)

My Interests

Pro Wrestling, NBA Basketball, Being Witty/Clever, Major League Baseball, Sarcasm, Music, Buying CD's, Winking, Reading, Buying Music Magazines At The Newsstand @ Ridiculous Prices Instead Of Subscribing At A Lower Price, Sleeping, Sleeping In, Being A Good Kisser, Concerts, My Family & Friends, strutting, My Cats Tiger & Buddy, Starbucks, Tanning, watching the idiot box, ordering rice instead of fries, and generally actin' a fool.
