@shipping4lyfe: So how close are you and Rob Diamond really? Oh gosh...at first, Rob and I would often butt heads behind the scenes, many thanks to my own lack of knowledge of how the business truly operated. When I first got started in 2010 as a guest commentator in the old PWA, I only got gleans and glimpses from a select few and never was able to put the puzzle pieces together. Now...I'm happy to say that ever since Being Infamous got off the ground, Rob's become one of the best friends I could ever have had in the gig. He's a proven draw, fought wars in the ring, and he's been my comic foil. If you haven't seen it, watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles; it's been a great inspiration for the both of us. Heck he's helped me channel my inner John Candy--and the result is the fact that I'm finally havin' fun again!  |

@420blazeit - Like, what is the ONE thing you really wanna do before your IWF career ends? Win a title-- any title. To be a champ in this company means ya did somethin' special, that ya busted yyour butt and set a prime example for those who want to come into wrestlin' and follow in my footsteps. Yet Roberto said it best...it ain't the hardware that defines a person, it's what ya do with that hardware that matters. I'm not out to break records, but whatever happens from here...I'm gonna go out there and run with it, enjoy it to the fullest. 'Cuz there'll be those that wanna step in and knock ya down. |

@thatguyagain - Same question to you Jimmy. IWF Mount Rushmore, and Wrestling Mount Rushmore? Bob Barker, Ronald Reagan, Michael Jackson, and Donald Trump! Gotcha!!! ... ...  Hehehe...oh, ya mean a Mount Rushmore of IWF and wrestlin' figures in general?! For Imperial, even though I've only been in the joint since 2016, I would go along and add six faces on there--Spike, Andrew Jacobsen, Roberto Verona, Eternity, Jessica Reed, and Ana Valentine. As for wrestlin' in general?! Goin' back to 2010 when I first got my start workin' backstage, I would say: Terminus (Evan Andrews), Spike, Nighthawk (when he was in PWA, he was an absolute beast who gave dudes all they could handle and still does to this day), and Tony Field. The latter I give a very special shout-out to, as he gave me my first big match in this business eight years ago (when I worked under the stage name "Johnny Gillmen"). |

@forensicphile Outside of wrestling, got any interesting hobbies? Many already know that I love to write commentaries on things shop or non-shop related. What many don't know is that I consider myself a coaster enthusiast; durin' tour stops I'll make appearances at some of the major amusement/theme parks, where I'll ride the roller coasters. BTW, my favorite coaster I've ridden is Cedar Point's Steel Vengeance. |
