Wrestler Joe is living his
I THINK the shows offer something for everyone. All those on the roster bring something to the team. Grado is an awesome personality, Sha Samuels is so powerful, Viper brings something new, Osprey is one of the best performers and Justin Sysum has a background in stunts and does incredible things. I could go on and on. I think IT V picked the best of the best.
The professional wrestling scene has been growing exponentially over the last five years. I think I’m very lucky that I came into things when this trend started. It’s an amazing time. Everyone from kids to someone like my gran loves wrestling. I think it’s why IT V decided to bring it back. wrestling training and one and half hours if it is freestyle.

I TRY my best not to be superstitious. If I need to think about putting one knee pad on first or the other knee pad it just gets in the way. I stopped all that before it started. It just gets in the way because there is a small margin for error when you are out there and it messes with reaction time. I HAVE been really lucky. I have had no major injuries. It’s just general wear and tear. I have been pretty fortunate. I train smart and recovery is a big part of what I do. I FIND it very hard to unwind after a match. I’ve very bad at it. I can’t just sit and watch T V. I often play a video game
