“Exercise science. No surprise there obviously but it came to me one day while I was working out that I should probably look into learning about the body and how to take care of myself before, during and after my endeavors in pro wrestling.”

“Reality of Wrestling is the flagship of Texas professional wrestling. While that is more so the title of the company, at a closer look what it really means is this company is the best of the best that Texas has to offer hands down. Personally I believe we are the best the whole country has to offer and, here soon, the entire world.”
As Reality of Wrestling’s ‘JJ Blake,’ it’s my job to go out there and drop a world of hurt on my opponent and look good while doing it in person and to all the viewers watching at home. I’m a no-nonsense kind of guy. I don’t care if anyone likes me, and I especially don’t care if anyone hates me. I will make a kid cry one second and be smiling the very next. I arrive, get the win, drop the Dyno-mite and leave.”

“My passion for wrestling took off after a television taping for Thursday night Smackdown. It was something that was always there, but that night I was fortunate enough to hear my dream whisper to me. The thought was already in my head, ‘Someday I want try this,’ but that night it turned into ‘I will do this.’ The second I went home I started searching for wrestling schools and eventually found one. I was so glad I took the first step because if I kept thinking someday, I would not be in this position right now.”
