How long have you been wrestling and how did you get started?
I have been wrestling for two and a half years now and already it has been an amazing experience. I always knew that pro- wrestling was a sport that I could excel at, so once I saw that NWA were setting up a training school in Ireland I had no hesitation. I have been a regular face here ever since.

Along with being the first ever NWA Ireland Champion of course, what have been the other highlights of your career so far?
I have wrestled internationally against the top talent in the NWA. At twenty-one years of age I have held our national heavyweight title, I have contended for the U.K heavyweight championship and have worked with some great athletes in this industry. I am making a name for myself in the business- what more could I ask for?

Who have been some of your favourite opponents to work with so far?
Paddy Morrow has always brought out the best in me. He is an awesome worker and a worthy champion. Our bouts always raise the roof. Fergal Devitt is such a polished performer in the ring, he demands that you raise your game when you're in the ring with him and I love that. As far as professionalism goes, I don't think you can beat Johnny Moss. I like to call him the 'human dictionary of professional wrestling'; only dictionaries can't nail you with devastating German suplexes!! But for all the talent I have worked with there are still some people who have escaped my clutches thusfar, so at some point down the line I would like to work against Team Mega and my long time nemesis Paul Tracey. When we hit that ring I know it's gonna explode.

Some people have referred to you as the best all round worker in Ireland at the current time - how do you react to this statement?
That's flattering. Compliments like that really drive you to outshine yourself. I strive to be a solid worker and integrity is important to me both in and out of the ring. But anything I do or achieve is purely a reflection of the highest standard of training that is unique to NWA Ireland.

You, along with current NWA Ireland Champion Paddy 'Suicide Machine' Morrow have become more and more involved in the training/coaching system at NWA Ireland at the present time working alongside Paul Tracey and Fergal Devitt. How do you find this and is it a role you enjoy?
I love coaching and to see guys that you have trained wrestling in their first live show brings a great deal of satisfaction to your work. Our style of wrestling is unique and spans generations. Andre Baker has passed his wisdom to Paul Tracey and Fergal Devitt who in turn trust us with this craft. Our dedication is ensuring that this tradition will always survive.
