  • Where throughout Northern California he’s wrestled
  • Utilizing the veteran wrestlers for advice and knowledge
  • “My goal for me is to become the first African-American World Champion in AEW.”

  • Why the San Antonio Spurs were his team growing up
  • Dealing with tragedy and loss
  • Facing off against Wardlow Wednesday at the Golden 1 Center
