First off thanks for doing this interview! You grew up in Dublin, Ireland. My first question is how did you get into the wrestling business?
I had watched it for most of my life and heard that they were opening a school here in Ireland, so I just thought Id head down to see what it was like, with absolutely no ambissions of pursuing it as anything other then a hobbie, but then I fell in love with it, and was hooked!
Q1: What influenced your decision to become a wrestler?
I think can be a very intelligent art, and the whole pyscology of it really appealed to me. Plus, its just a heck of a load of fun getting out in front of a crowd and beating the crap out of some one!!!
Q2: What was your first ever match like and who was your opponent?
It was against Soreno (currently known as Adam Abz) and my lord was I ever nervous! I remember thinking it was a really great match, but I think Id hate to see it now!!!

I love suplexes like t-bones and fishermans, I also love doing alot of submissions, half the time, Ill make them up as I go along by twisting and ankle or a wrist in the wrong direction
Q4: Describe a typical day of training for you?
Wrestling training or working out? Because with Wrestling it varys on where I am or what day of the week it is, but lots of conditioning and lots of chain.
