And that's not what happened.

That I mean, that was June 8th, 2025.

It was my match with a wrestler called Slade at GCW Cage of Survival 4 in Atlantic City.

And that night changed everything for me.

The air in the room was just different.

And it's bell to bell.

It is a wild match that I still put up there with top three of my favorites I've ever had.

And from then on, I found out I kind of have a knack for this.

And that's where...

Again, just in one year, I've wrestled all my deathmatch heroes, whether it's Matt Tremont, John Wayne Murdoch, and then going over to Japan, which I am so grateful for TNA for letting me, under contract, go over there.

That was a huge dream of mine come true, and I got to wrestle...

arguably the greatest deathmatch wrestler in the world uh masashi takeda and uh it's just been like i said multiple years packed into one year and then it culminates this weekend with nick gage so it's there's a lot that is an entirely new and separate chapter of my life that i've really really enjoyed

That's especially this past year.

That's been, uh, I think the biggest key is just whether I was, you know, with different people knocking on the door, right.

It's like, which is best for you.

And one of those things, and I run all these conversations by my wife.

She's like, kind of like my agent in a way, uh, just to run things past her.

And it's always been whatever happens in the near future.

I just need to be myself.

I can't let, I can't change for somebody else ever again.
