  Labor of Love, Euphoria, and Attic Brewing.
• 0:34
  I'm getting eyes. I'm getting eyes I've.
• 0:36
  Got back Zero staring him. Down staring holes through me
• 0:39
  right now. I'm here today with he's.
• 0:43
  Got the profile going right now. He's so handsome, I.
• 0:46
  Mean, I got to give it to him. It's so handsome to give it to
• 0:47
  him. You know when you're with the
• 0:49
  Demolition Man? David Moses, the hardest hitting
• 0:52
  wrestler, as you can see on my cool tracksuit from the World by
• 0:55
  Wrestling. These track suits are so fucking
• 0:57
  cool. Showing the fish.
• 0:58
  Showing the telling everybody. I've been telling everybody.
• 1:00
  Look, you can see you here. They're turning around.
• 1:02
  I'm going to give you a spin right here.
• 1:05
  It's on the pants. It's on the.
• 1:06
  Pants it's OK, great. You know, I've I've been telling
• 1:09
  everybody that I got the tracksuit.
• 1:13
  It feels great. It's very, it's very breathable.
• 1:16
  It's very light, but it's still warm, surprisingly.
• 1:19
  You know, the weather's been terrible recently, but I'm
• 1:22
  making it my whole personality you're you're becoming.
• 1:24
  Like the track suit that like an Italian mobster in a movie when
• 1:27
  they when all they wear is track suits.
• 1:29
  The track suit is my personality now and I feel great, honestly.
• 1:32
  There's like two eras of my life.
• 1:35
  It was before I got the tracksuit and now after I got
• 1:37
  the tracksuit. It makes a lot of sense and I
• 1:39
  feel like a new man. Honestly, I feel like a.
• 1:40
  Completely new. Man, it's awesome besides.
• 1:44
  Absolutely killing it in track shoots.
• 1:46
  What are you currently doing? What is your current goal in
• 1:48
  life? My current goal in life is, you
• 1:51
  know, I, I'm still relatively early in my career, so I'm
• 1:53
  trying to get out there as much as I can and, and wrestle as
• 1:57
  much as I can, hit as many people in the face as I can, as
• 2:00
  I possibly can. And you know, I I've I've I've
• 2:04
  I'm, I'm going full tracksuit to every show that I go to.
• 2:07
  So I want as many people as possible to see me looking
• 2:11
  amazing in this fly ass tracks. But also that you come from.
• 2:16
  Prestige. Yes, I do.
• 2:18
  I do. Because that worldwide Dojo is
• 2:20
  the. Lineage of the worldwide Dojo.
• 2:21
  We're talking cheeseburger. Learn from, you know, you know,
• 2:25
  he got got the show tape from Juice and Thunder Liger and
• 2:28
  we're talking about the Ring of Honor Dojo and the lineage of
• 2:31
  that. And it's all over 20 plus years
• 2:34
  that it's culminated in this exact moment of me sitting here
• 2:37
  in this fucking tracksuit looking amazing.
• 2:41
  This is this entire thing is there's a commercial for a
• 2:44
  tracksuit. I know if you want an awesome
• 2:46
  tracksuit. For a tracksuit that you cannot
• 2:48
  buy, Yeah, you have to earn it. The person watching this video
• 2:52
  are not allowed to have this tracksuit.
• 2:54
  No, not you're not allowed to have it.
• 2:55
  You have to earn it. I don't.
• 2:57
  I hope one day through my content I can earn a tracksuit
• 3:00
  maybe if it might not be a worldwide Dojo one, but I will
• 3:03
  get one in some way shape or form because the what you're the
• 3:06
  energy you're giving. I think.
• 3:08
  Is just tracksuit energy. My friend, I think you could
• 3:10
  wear a tracksuit someday. Yeah.
• 3:12
  I hope so. Maybe not today, maybe not
• 3:13
  tomorrow, but someday, one day, someday, maybe soon, you could
• 3:18
  wear tracks. What are you currently doing to
• 3:21
  achieve your goals? I mean, I'm just trying to, you
• 3:23
  know, again, as, as I said, you know, I'm early in my career,
• 3:25
  you know, I, I've been wrestling for a little over a year.
• 3:28
  You know, that I've been really getting out there working,
• 3:30
  working shows and, you know, trying to hit the road as much
• 3:33
  as I can. And, you know, it's just, I'm
• 3:36
  just trying to get my face out there, trying to get my face out
• 3:38
  there, trying to develop my, you know, my, my reputation, start,
• 3:43
  you know, networking as much as I can and just getting out there
• 3:46
  and, and getting reps. And again, now that I have this,
• 3:52
  you know, I think it's all it's going to be like the DMS.
• 3:54
  Are going to blow it up. Shoot through the.
• 3:57
  Roof. Oh my.
• 3:58
  My phone, my phone is in my my pocket right here.
• 4:00
  And it has not stopped vibrating the whole time.
• 4:04
  I mean, listen, I peeled the curtain back a little bit.
• 4:07
  You know, I was here just to just, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm
• 4:10
  trying to follow sexy Eddie just did his a little while ago.
• 4:13
  And you know, that was a whole different type of vibration that
• 4:16
  we're talking about there. So.
• 4:18
  You know, it's, I hope I still love it.
• 4:20
  You too. It's, it's been a, it's been a
• 4:21
  continuous, been a continuous buzz of one, one way or another
• 4:26
  for the entire afternoon here. So you know that that's that's
• 4:31
  what it's all about right now. What is currently holding you
• 4:33
  back? Our distraction from your goal.
• 4:36
  Yeah, I, I, I think it's the fact that at least up to this
• 4:39
  point, you know, I, I got this thing a couple, a couple weeks
• 4:42
  ago. I think we finally got it last
• 4:43
  week. I didn't have tracks.
• 4:47
  I was just a guy, you know, I like wearing, you know, I, you
• 4:49
  know, usually I'm I'm I'm turning up to shows wearing like
• 4:53
  the hoodie in jeans or sweatpants.
• 4:55
  And no offense to you who is wearing a wearing a hoodie and
• 4:58
  jeans. You're you are you are dressed
• 5:00
  exactly as. How I every other podcast.
• 5:03
  When I would show up, you know, exactly how I would be when I
• 5:05
  would show up to a show. And I'm, and I'm, and I'm
• 5:08
  sitting there and I'm like, you know, my, my booking schedule's
• 5:10
  been picking up lately. You know, it's starting to get
• 5:12
  to a place that I, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling pretty satisfied.
• 5:16
  But you know, it's, I feel like I've only had myself to blame
• 5:20
  because I never, I never thought to like get, get the get the
• 5:24
  flyest tracksuit that I could get to look like AB boy from
• 5:29
  1986. I, I, you know, I.
• 5:31
  Think that's the biggest thing that has been has been holding
• 5:36
  me back. But you know, we're I again, I'm
• 5:39
  still early in my career. It's it's about getting in the
• 5:43
  ring as much as I can, getting as many routes as I can, getting
• 5:47
  in the gym, training as much as I can, just just just you know,
• 5:50
  getting out there over and over again.
• 5:52
  You know, good. Matches bad matches Any
• 5:55
  experience is good experience I. Think I see where this is going,
• 6:00
  but who or what motivates or inspires you?
• 6:04
  I'm I motivate and inspire myself every single time I look
• 6:07
  at myself in the mirror wearing this thing.
• 6:08
  I mean my, I mean God damn bro. You look.
• 6:11
  Great. God damn.
• 6:12
  I do, I do, I really do. Thank you.
• 6:15
  But you know, I, I, you know, you're talking about it.
• 6:19
  You know, I have the privilege of being able to train at one of
• 6:21
  the best schools in the country and you're getting to learn from
• 6:23
  someone like Cheeseburger. I'm around great wrestlers every
• 6:27
  day. You know, even even, you know,
• 6:30
  you know, some of my best friends.
• 6:32
  Sal Mastretta, Sturdy Sal, you had him on here.
• 6:35
  Troy Locke, I think you've had him.
• 6:36
  On here before. You know, some of my best
• 6:38
  friends, the guys that like, I'm seeing them killing every time
• 6:43
  they go out there. And it's like, you know, I, I,
• 6:46
  I'm trying to keep pace with those guys who are so good and
• 6:50
  have become so good so fast. And they all have the same
• 6:53
  tracksuit that I do. We've all taken tracksuit pics
• 6:57
  together. That's that's a scary world of
• 6:59
  living, which is a very intimidating prospect for me
• 7:02
  because I, you know, it's tough when you're trying to make this
• 7:06
  your gimmick and other people have the same tracksuit.
• 7:08
  So, you know, I'm, I'm trying to do the thing where it's like I
• 7:11
  did it today. I made my entrance.
• 7:12
  I, I, I wore, I wore this out. You know, I'm, I'm kind of like
• 7:15
  doing the, the like zipped kind of all the way down, like zipped
• 7:18
  at the bottom, but kind of all the way down, like Arne Anderson
• 7:21
  used to kind of trying to do that.
• 7:23
  So I'm hoping, you know, that'll that'll give me a little extra
• 7:26
  juice, but you know, it's just add the.
• 7:28
  Money you save on ring gear now? Oh my God, Oh my God, dude.
• 7:31
  I mean. Thousands of dollars.
• 7:33
  Thousands of dollars, you know, I was, I was, I was thinking
• 7:36
  about it like what do I want for?
• 7:37
  Like it like an entrance, you know, like it like some kind of
• 7:39
  entrance jacket entrance. It's right here.
• 7:42
  I got it. I have it and I have it for the
• 7:43
  rest of my career. It's done.
• 7:44
  It's locked in perfect. Well, what are you grateful for
• 7:47
  and all you currently have? Well, do you need to ask me that
• 7:49
  question? I think you know the answer to
• 7:51
  that question. I, I think I've, I think I have
• 7:54
  extensively answered that question throughout this, the
• 7:56
  course of this interview in case we didn't hear, I mean, look at
• 8:00
  me, man. It's a God damn.
• 8:01
  It's. A God damn, it's so sick.
• 8:04
  But again, man, you know, I am, you know, I'm I'm here in
• 8:10
  Philadelphia, PA, like one of the Mecca's of pro wrestling the
• 8:14
  Mecca like this is like honestly, like I'm not from
• 8:18
  here. Originally.
• 8:19
  I grew up in in the Washington, DC area.
• 8:21
  I'm I'm from there. Are you coming back?
• 8:24
  No, I'm not I I, I grew up like just outside of DC, My heart's.
• 8:29
  Broken and. I like, you know, I, I everybody
• 8:32
  I knew everybody in school growing up, they were all die
• 8:34
  hard, die hard comedies fans. You know what you know the the,
• 8:38
  you know the team name they had at the time, which I'm not going
• 8:40
  to not going to say it just. Gets bears every time I.
• 8:42
  Feel. But I thought, I actually kind
• 8:44
  of thought when they were called the Washington Football Team,
• 8:46
  that was kind of cool. I kind of like that.
• 8:47
  That was a little different. Like that, it won't bother
• 8:49
  anybody. I'm a I'm a Miami Dolphins fan,
• 8:51
  OK, So haven't seen a playoff win since I was six years old,
• 8:56
  So, you know, that's awesome. But no, I mean, like I, I grew
• 9:00
  up in the Washington, DC area and this was like one of the
• 9:04
  main reasons why I moved up here was to be here in one of the
• 9:08
  meccas of especially independent wrestling, to be able to start
• 9:11
  my career and just, and just, you know, get great training, be
• 9:14
  around great wrestlers and just get a, get a, you know, get a
• 9:18
  solid foundation. And it's been, it's been over
• 9:21
  the last, you know, couple of years, it's been even better
• 9:23
  than I could have imagined. Yeah, it's been even better than
• 9:25
  I could have imagined. Where can people find and
• 9:27
  support you? People can find me and support
• 9:30
  me on my Twitter account. I'm never going to call it X.
• 9:33
  I'm going to. I'm going to say exactly what
• 9:35
  Max Zero said. I'm never going to call it X
• 9:38
  because fuck Elon Musk. My Twitter account at David
• 9:41
  Moses PW and I mean, I have Instagram but I never use it for
• 9:46
  wrestling stuff. I should probably start doing
• 9:48
  it, but it's still just my personal counsel.
• 9:50
  Just hit me on on Twitter. You'll have a really good
• 9:53
  thumbnail soon to put on your. Instagram I do.
• 9:55
  I mean, let's. I mean it's, it's.
• 9:57
  You gotta send. I need more pictures, more me
• 10:00
  stanced up. There's a lot of photographers.
• 10:02
  Get a photographers I know and get a photo in this.
• 10:04
  Doing like the Slav squat in the in the tracksuit.
• 10:07
  I'm going to hit that crazy style.
• 10:09
  It's going to be awesome. That'll do it. 5 questions with
• 10:12
  ABJ. We'll see you on the next one.
• 10:14
  We're out of here. OK, thanks for watching this
• 10:43
  presentation. Like, share and subscribe for
• 10:47
  more. We are back five questions with
• 10:57
  ABJ. So my question to you is you are
• 11:01
  in that era where you're trying to get your name out there.
• 11:03
  A lot of independent wrestlers that I talked to when I
• 11:06
  interview. I, I, I'm very blessed that a
• 11:08
  lot of people come to me. And I think one of the things
• 11:11
  that may set me apart, I'm not trying to put myself over, is I
• 11:13
  think a lot of this. Is your show.
• 11:15
  A lot of people in the that are younger in their career, a lot
• 11:18
  of podcasters don't give those people their shock.
• 11:21
  Everybody wants to clout chase. Everybody wants to get the
• 11:23
  people at the top. Yeah, I am.
• 11:24
  I take a lot of pride in giving people some of their first
• 11:27
  interviews and some of their first opportunities to talk and
• 11:30
  get their name out there. But one of the things I always
• 11:33
  hear is the grind is real. Like getting your name out there
• 11:35
  is not fucking easy. How do you navigate that and
• 11:40
  what are some things you're trying to do to stand out?
• 11:42
  Oh man, it's hard. You know, I think for me, it's
• 11:44
  somebody I'm like somebody that naturally, I've never been like
• 11:48
  a super big personality, you know what I mean?
• 11:51
  I, you know, I'm somebody that like, throughout a lot of my
• 11:53
  life, like I've struggled with social anxiety and that kind of
• 11:56
  stuff, you know, So like for me, it's like, you know, I, I, you
• 12:00
  know, those are, those are things I got to get better at
• 12:02
  networking, that kind of stuff. But like, I'm somebody that
• 12:06
  every single time I'm in that ring, I'm trying to give my all
• 12:11
  every single time, you know, and have a good match every single
• 12:14
  time I've been there. And, and you know, like be
• 12:20
  somebody that you can count on. Every single time I'm in that
• 12:24
  ring, I'm going to give my maximum effort every single
• 12:28
  time. And, and, you know, kind of keep
• 12:31
  pushing that forward. And, you know, I, I think I'm
• 12:33
  somebody that, you know, early in my career, I, I, I feel very
• 12:40
  confident. You know, I feel very confident
• 12:41
  right now that I can hang with, with the best, you know, and,
• 12:45
  and, and you know, you can at the end of the day, like you
• 12:50
  have to be able to back it up in the ring.
• 12:51
  You have to be able to back it up in the ring.
• 12:53
  And I'm somebody that I think that, you know, I can do that.
• 12:57
  I can't back it up in the ring. And you can put me in any kind
• 13:01
  of situation, be someone who's versatile and someone that you
• 13:04
  can count on every time I'm going to deliver.
• 13:08
  And, and, and just have that mindset, have that mindset, that
• 13:13
  confidence and that mindset that I'm going to go out there and
• 13:15
  kill it every single time. And, and you know, if you can do
• 13:18
  that, it's all going to fall into place.
• 13:20
  Yeah. I mean a huge reason to that.
• 13:22
  Yeah. Is this God that attracts you?
• 13:26
  Look at me. Look at.
• 13:27
  Me. Look at me right now.
• 13:28
  Let's just get out of here. Let's get the fuck out.
