How did you get into wrestling?
My Dad one day was like, ‘Hey, we’re gonna start a wrestling club, and it just kind of took off from there.
What kind of impact did your Dad have on your career?
He was my coach for my first six years, and then after, he started to take a few steps back, but I mean, I can still hear him from in the stands, yelling out moves. Do this. Do that. And I still listen.
What is your relationship with him like after the match and at home?
It’s all love. We’ll go back and watch our matches. And he’ll show me things. I can do better things I can do different. It just helps.
What do you love most about wrestling?
Just a lot of life lessons.
What was the best life lesson wrestling has taught you?
It’s gonna suck, but you can push through it.
