I can't stop thinking about
@nickwayne21
telling me last night that he doesn't really know who Scottie Pippen is, while wearing his jersey, and then says he has some Carter guy's Raptors jersey but he's never watched either...
I may not say it, but I remember how certain people treated me when I came to help, and the people who tried to book me then but told me I wasn’t worth the small amount I was asking just last spring. Don’t try to act like we’re cool and expect me to cut deals on my rate now.
Got sent these while in Florida. Apparently my daughter wanted to wear my shirt to school and bragged to all her friends about her dad being “a famous wrestler”. I’m blessed to have such a sweet little girl. ❤️
As of today I am officially a free agent. I'd like to thank
@courtbauer
and everyone involved with
@MLW
for giving me an opportunity to learn and grow as a performer over the last 3 years.

One of the coolest things about having a kid is introducing her to all of my favorite cartoons as a kid. We’re currently watching Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends and she loves it.

Y’all don’t understand how much I need wrestling rn. I go through so much shit that no one knows about, not even my closest friends. The only time I’m happy. I smile and keep shit to myself, but I can honestly say that I can’t remember what it’s like to truly be happy.
As a father, I don’t want my a daughter to have to go through some of the things I went through. I had a coach in high school that made me hate football at times. MY POSITION coach would say things like “Bet if that ball was a bucket of fried chicken you’d move faster.” In front
I’m pretty sure my daughter will be a second generation wrestler. She constantly wants to wrestle me and we’ve been watching Sasha Banks matches today.
RIP Tracy Smothers. He saw potential in me at a show and offered advice anytime I was around you. He vouched for me to get an opportunity at
@IWAMidSouth
when I was just a few months in and kept bothering Ian until he gave me a shot. I’ll never forget it.
Had most of this month off due to shows being cancelled and having to cancel one show for health reasons. I spent that time with my kid, which I’m grateful for, but I get on here and I see all the homies killing shows and having fun and I can’t wait to get back in the ring
Boog turned 7 today! It’s crazy how much she’s grown and learned over the years. She’s my sidekick, my favorite person to play basketball with, and one of the biggest goofballs I’ve ever met. She’s the reason I get up every morning, and I’m so thankful to be her daddy.❤️
Bloodsport meant a lot to me not only because it was in front of my home fans, but I lost a good friend a few years back who I trained with and taught me so much over the year or so that I trained with him about everything from MMA to Life. I hope I made you proud, Levi.

The first drop of the day means a lot to me. Growing up we didn’t have much, but my dad busted his ass to give me everything my mom and I needed. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without him giving me an example of what a good man is. Shout out to

for the design.

I finally got to step in the ring with
@bountykeith
and we went to war. He brought it and showed me why I've heard so much about him. He definitely earned my respect tonight. I see why he's BSB.
@BigStarkzBrand
Can I have this match already? He’s the reason I dove into indie wrestling back in the day. I used to always play as him on the old backyard wrestling game.

@CalvinTankman
is OFFICIALLY owed a title shot from his Champion vs Champion match against

The match was thrown out due to interference. Officials at the time said that he would get a rematch later down the line
