One thing I take pride in is my ability to control my legs. Now, I feel I am capable of making my striking look like I annihilate my opponents, but because of my control I actually barely touch them, as is pretty much displayed in this slow motion. Compare this to a strike landing in slow motion in any MMA orientated sport and I am sure they look identical to an extent. Most people that wouldn’t know this is Pro Wrestling would think this is an actual KO. Drifter’s eyes going blank and limbs failing makes for, what is in my opinion, a perfect and believable finish.

So much of this has been trial and error, it took years upon years to being able to hit my opponents this way. Something I don’t with this younger generation, everything is a quick fix for a mediocre pay off. “But the crowd reacts!” But imagine the reaction if all of it looked tight.

Also, for myself as a wrestler trying to perfect technique, rather than a quick fix, was all I cared about. You need personal goals as a wrestler/performer.

I have written books in regards to my characters, my style, techniques, combinations, moves, facial expressions, selling, verbiage, using my voice and I still do after 18 years.

As a wrestler that wants to stand out and be unique, this is a must.

I personally feel that after 18 years I can say things like this especially with what I have done and where I am and where I will be going.

Also, I think I am going to start writing here more about my ideas behind Pro Wrestling.
