Ace has been in IWF for 2 months and 21 days. 82 days, 11 weeks and he has a match against one of the top wrestlers of IWF, a hall of famer in Angel Blake. Ace does not like when things are easy, he craves a challenge, in everything. Not just as a wrestler in a competitive sense, in every many avenues, intellectually, spiritually. It is tough to keep an ego when you are so used ti using telescopes to look up in the sky at night and it really puts things in perspective of how you are just a fleck in the universe. Even as things advanced, Ace has always fought from underneath, it’s not like he was ever this unstoppable force. Ace is impressive, always has been but he’s never been infallible. You could base victories on numerable factors but not just pure skill, everyone knows that, there’s circumstances and that’s not a cop-out, if you have lost a majority of the time that is on you as a competitor but it’s never that black and white and easy.
It took Ace 6 years and 6 months to get his first big break internationally. He was broke for 3 years. 16 days into being 18 years old, 3 days he moved out of his parents house at just 3 years and 3 days after his pro debut, to live in his own RV in Chicago to continue making his name switching to the midwest independent circuits/ territories after doing so in the south. While in Chicago, Illinois he would work all weekdays at a fledgling upstart start-up tech company as a code-monkey( that’s a derogatory term for an expendable programmer).
Doing that as a weekend warrior indy wrestler with an IQ of 190 was definitely looked upon as a disappointment to some, thankfully not his parents or immediate family, sure his relatives thought he was nuts but he’s always been known for moving to the beat of his own drum. He aspired since three years old to be a pro wrestler and an astronaut, by 16 he had squandered the latter goal by getting caught selling drugs at the college he was attending since 11 years old as both a student and assistant-professor for the astronomy department. By his 15th birthday he was a legit licensed professional wrestler and made his pro debut 13 days later , 4 years of amateur wrestling and then 40 months as a backyard wrestler, plus he started as a backyard wrestler 1 month( 53 days) after becoming a black belt in Taekwondo on his 10th birthday, five or six years years younger than the usual age a person of his time.
As a prodigy scholastically he was used to the “ advanced placement”, but as you may or may not realize even though he may have been athletically and intellectually ready for those things, emotionally he wasn’t, due to his age and definitely not socially. If he wasn’t given a task to work on, he did not stop talking. You would think his loquaciousness would make him good at promos, unfortunately not.
Ace admits it, he’s a doer not a sayer, as he believes you can only be either of those in your life, that is the one contradictory belief to his personal disdain for being boxed in and judged as one thing.

Ace Sky:
You may think you have me all figured out. I have always felt it is important to not rely on your previous accolades when in a new promotion. If you want to get arm-chair psychology you could make the case that I have a competitive- masochism to put myself in situations where I am the weakest in order to prove my worth. I have no problem in admitting I’m neurodivergent, I’ve got some chemical imbalance, some of heredity, some of it nurture and nature. Every wrestler has an inner turmoil for why they do this, it is not a normal occupation to aspire to. I am not superhuman, I was not born with a rubber neck, I have just trained myself with the same discipline as I have trained martial arts since I was five years old. Keeping the same philosophy. I am the man of 1000 hours.
I don’t know if I could get you to care to listen to these songs Angel but they best describe my journey:
