  this world that have been doing this and putting their time in
• 1:07
  Man, you've been doing it for so long, since such a young age and
• 1:10
  you're you're you're you're just cracking that, you know, the 20s
• 1:13
  and and you're you have probably more ring time than some
• 1:16
  seven-year veterans because how much you put into this, which is
• 1:19
  cool. You're, you're that Nick Wayne,
• 1:20
  Jordan Oliver, you know, I mean, you're, you're in that you're in

  that tier of your work ethic. And I think that's really cool
• 1:25
  to see. I really appreciate that.
• 1:26
  So with that being said, I think it's self-explanatory, but what
• 1:29
  is your current goal in life? My current goal in life is to be
• 1:32
  able to make enough money to support myself in professional
• 1:35
  wrestling and, you know, give back to the people who helped me
• 1:38
  get to where I am. Yeah.
• 1:40
  What are you currently doing to achieve that goal?
• 1:42
  I'm still, I'm still training. I think that's one thing people
• 1:45
  don't really know. I still train every week, twice
• 1:47
  a week. It's it's very important to me
• 1:49
  to keep learning and I watch so much professional wrestling.
• 1:52
  I try to get out there as much as I can.
• 1:54
  And I also make sure to keep enjoying wrestling because I
• 1:57
  think sometimes that gets hard. I think it gets hard sometimes.
• 2:00
  Especially in the business, when you see some of the darker
• 2:02
  stuff, you're like, yeah, is this the, is this the industry I
• 2:04
  want to be in within that love of it takes over and you're kind
• 2:07
  of like, no, I want to stick around to make it a better
• 2:09
  place. Yeah, you have to remind
• 2:10
  yourself of what got you to where you.
• 2:11
  Are what is currently holding you back our distraction from
• 2:15
  your goals? I'm, I'm a college student, so I
• 2:17
  think that, you know, obviously has some impact on it.
• 2:20
  I'm trying to get my degree in criminal justice.
• 2:23
  So, but I, I enjoy that. I don't let it hold me back as
• 2:27
  much. But you know, obviously it is a
• 2:28
  factor. And yeah, I, we're in a, we're
• 2:33
  in a lucky area. We're in the East Coast.
• 2:34
  There's a lot of shows around. So that's one thing that
• 2:37
  definitely doesn't hold me back. There's a lot of, there's a lot
• 2:39
  of stuff always going on. Who are What motivates or
• 2:43
  inspires you? My parents, my parents, my

  relationship with my parents that we can talk about anything

• 3:03
  We've been friends for 6-7 years.
• 3:05
  We met on Minecraft and, you know, now we're both pro

• 3:16
  both have the same love for Minecraft?
• 3:18
  Like for. We, we quickly like, we became

  Was, was wrestling in mind? And, and, and if that is the
• 5:20
  question case, how is the UK scene different from the United
• 5:24
  States? Yeah, so we went just based on a
• 5:27
  trip, but it turned into a wrestling trip.
