So shout out to that real quick before I begin to things right, It wasn't like working with working with uh what do you call it?

Fajackson training occurrent this that there was that like she is great.

You know how some people say when a person walks in, they light up the room. I used to think that that wasn't true, you know, but that is definitely true in in fa Jackson's case.

She's taught me a.

Lot, and she continues to teach me, and she definitely backs up you know, her students.

She calls some of us her kids. That's that's how close she feels to us.

Yeah, okay, okay, So out of Fajackson, I'm also a fan of her work.

I've seen her. I see, I see I see her. I see her what I'm saying.

But okay, so so before I so before you came on just now right like you said, you said, this day went by so fast, right like?

But what were you up to before you came on?

You know, you gotta go to that shoot job. You gotta get that nine to five.

And I was doing that, ran around getting stuff done, you know, also had to make sure I got back here in time for this lovely experience.

So yeah, I was running around like a chicken with their head but off we will.

Get to nowhere. But I still appreciate it.

Okay, okay, so real quick, So while I get organized here, just sorry, why about yourself? So like I read some of my notes about you that I'll be searching you. I'm try tell everybody else more about you real quick?

Wow, more about me?

Yeah, I'm training in Super Crazy under Fay Jackson, the wonderful guys of Primal Fair uh lead uh Adrian Soriano. Been doing that for a little bit over a year or so, maybe two years. Yeah, I'm just just trying to find my way in the world, you know.

Okay, okay, and so like, so about so you're in right, You're training as well. I still say finish, but like you're done with that phase and you're you're in, You're officially a professional wrestler, right You're you're broken.

You know, I personally can't.

I can't personally call myself a professional wrestler yet, because I feel like there is a lot of time you have to put in before you earn that you know that right to say it, And I don't want to insult those who are actually are, you know, but I definitely am on a different phase in my journey and I'm loving it every minute.

Okay, you've scarcely begun exactly.

Okay, Okay, see, I'm taking a risk now because I've I had to fire my research guy yesterday, so because I'm getting faulty research, so I think a risk by see the next thing, mm hm, assuming this is accurate, tell us about your time with skid Row Academy.

Oh yeah, skid Row Academy. That's under Super Crazy.

That's uh the first training experience that I've had, and it's a great place to learn, full of wonderful personalities.

Definitely learned a lot there.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, And it's it's it just you like like this the entire class.

Oh yeah, it's a big class. There's never less than maybe fifteen. I think of us in class right now. They're taking a hiatus. Yeah, but uh there's always a bunch of us.

Okay, okay.

And uh so that was your start, yes, okay, cool, cool, cool, okay, okay, okay, but so so real quick tell me it's like what's so what's your plan? Like, what's like what's for your career? Like, what's your plan?

My plan is to stay consistently working everywhere I want to work. I want to work everywhere in the United States. Then go over to Japan, of course. That's I would love to go there and go over to England as well.

Okay, okay, and so I would I would only presume right that you I would only presume that, like you're an independent right now?

Right? You're not signed anywhere?

Correct? Independent right now?

Okay?

So other than other than the aforementioned super crazy right, like, has there been has there been anywhere else to wrestled?

I officially wrestled at i j W just a couple of days ago. I think it was last Friday. Maybe I have some things coming up.

Hopefully what's id W stand for?

It's just wrestling.

Okay. I like that.

Very straight to the point. Pretty good.

Okay, Okay, you said you talked about perhaps going to Japan and the UK and le's more over the US, right, Like definitely intent like end up Like most people tell me, you know, their end their endgame is you know, a W or t NA or WWE.

Like what about you?

You know, those are some great goals to have. I never really.

Saw myself in those places. I mean, of course, if I get the chance, I'm jumping at it. But my my my goal right now is to just get my name out there and be known to have consistent good work anywhere I end up.

Okay, So build up your build up what you call it, like your your credibility, your your resume on the on the independent scene mm hmm, your market your marketability suff Okay, okay, question where are you right now?

Like, like, because I was gonna ask you, like, well, apparently not well you taught me, but apparently so right, you don't have you have an issue?

So like what are your thoughts like the gender wrestling?

You know, I don't really have a problem with it myself. If someone does have a problem with it, that is their prerogative. I think that if you step into the ring as a wrestler, you are a wrestler first, and whatever gender or gender identity you have a second, just know what you're getting into and then don't complain, you know what I mean?

If something happens, so you believe in equal rights, equal fights for that, yeah, equal rights, equal lefts a couple of kicks, whatever gets the job done, you know, Okay, okay, okay, okay, but I gotta actually I got a text a stout.
