  So my current goal in life is to just express myself in this art
• 1:15
  form in, in in this sport, to really define myself through
• 1:21
  what I do in that ring, to become a reputable champion for
• 1:27

• 1:41
  I'm a catch point graduate, part of the first class.

  That's why we throw the ones up right now.
• 1:48
  I'm going to tag team with my dog, Tom Larosa, Citywide St.

  Gang, and we train four days a week.

  us because we're going to sit down soon.
• 2:06
  What is currently holding you back?
• 2:08
  Our distraction from your goals. Distractions.
• 2:12
  Distractions, you know, going into this, you know, I don't
• 2:19
  think there is a single thing that can hold me back.
• 2:23
  Only I could hold me back. I like that even if I lose, I
• 2:26
  don't lose. So I feel like the mirrors try
• 2:34
  to hold me back, but at the end of the day we execute.
• 2:38
  Appreciate that. Who or what motivates or
• 2:41
  inspires you? You know what motivates me and
• 2:49
  inspires me? Teto Yunaito.
• 2:53
  He inspires me because he does whatever he wants to do and he
• 2:57
  doesn't care about what the people think.
• 2:59
  He inspires me. The titles inspire me.
• 3:04
  The number one spot inspires me. I'm inspired by being the best.
• 3:08
  Awesome. What are you currently grateful
• 3:11
  for and are you currently happy? I am currently grateful just to
• 3:16
  be within this, to finally do what I always wanted to do, and
• 3:22
  that's professionally wrestling. Am I happy?
• 3:27
  I'm ecstatic. No reason not to be happy.
• 3:32
  Just, you know, getting in those reps, doing shows when I can,
• 3:38
  proving my worth, going in there, demolishing opponents
• 3:42
  that stand in front of me and I'm the huge that I can't lose.
• 3:45
  You know, even if I do lose, it's not a loss.
• 3:49
  We grow from it, we learn from it.
• 3:52
  It's everlasting and we're going to get better.
• 3:54
  Awesome, awesome. Where can people find you to
• 3:56

  outlets. Honestly, citywide, St. gang's
• 4:26
  going to be everywhere. I.
• 4:27
  Love it. I love it.
• 4:28
  Well, thank you guys for tuning in to Five Questions ABJ.
• 4:31
  It's mania week, babe. We got a lot coming.
• 4:33
  This is just the beginning, so stay tuned.
• 4:34
  We'll see you on the next one. Gang on top?
• 5:18
  We are back. You stayed for the post credit
• 5:20
  scene and where I got that bonus question now, rainy a weekend is
• 5:24
  the time where everybody in the Northeast and everybody in
• 5:26
  Pennsylvania and those people from Jersey are going to sneak
• 5:29
  in in New York and everybody wants to be here because today
• 5:32
  this is the big weekend. Now alongside that, there's a
• 5:35
  lot of places that you could have trained, a lot of places
• 5:37
  that you could have gone. What makes Catch Point Wrestling
• 5:40
  stand out amongst every other school that you feel, and why
• 5:43
  did you choose it? Well, first and foremost, I grew
• 5:47
  up watching CZW at the new Alhambra Arena.
• 5:50
  I know it's called 2200, but it used to be called Viking Hall,
• 5:54
  you know, so on and so forth. But I grew up watching Drew
• 5:58
  Gulak feud with Nick Gage and seeing that transpire.
• 6:03
  So, you know, I've been to other schools and it wasn't until 2023
• 6:10
  Catch Point opened up Philadelphia based.
• 6:12
  I'm from Philadelphia, born and raised.
• 6:14
  Not just saying it just for the bill, but that's the reality of
• 6:18
  my life. And I just I'm really proud for
• 6:22
  about where I'm from. You know, it's it's 215 over
• 6:25
  everything and catch point over everything.
• 6:29
  So just that Philly bread from Philly, built in Philly and it
• 6:35
  like, you know, in Northeast, people are even I train where
• 6:39
  people are scared to even walk home, you know, those streets.
• 6:42
  So it's it's a really surreal experience.
• 6:46
  I'm really grateful to call best I can be within this sport.
• 7:02
  Hell yeah, I well, you have you heard it here, Catch Point
• 7:06
  Wrestling in Philadelphia. If you're looking for a school
• 7:08
  to watch or students to come out of it, follow them on all social
• 7:11
  media and she'll love to that amazing school.
• 7:13
  See you on the next one. Perfect.
• 7:16
  Great job. Thank you.
• 7:17
  That's good. That was good.
• 7:18
  I was kind of like.
