He discussed a variety of topics, including advice he got from future WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg. You can see some highlights of the interview below:

Wrestling Kurt Angle:

“It was incredible, I’ve got a shortlist of people who I would consider to be heroes of mine – Kurt Angle’s one of those. It’s one of those things, I was hearing rumblings about it but tried to not get excited because I was like, ‘It’s probably not going to come to fruition’ for whatever reason. It literally can’t get any bigger than that outside of Wrestlemania. That was just about as big as it gets really. I think that day was really a turning point for me because I progressed a lot as a pro wrestler coming out of that and I’m thankful to Defiant, I’m thankful to Kurt for giving me the opportunity to do that.”

Advice From Goldberg:

“It’s gradually and naturally happening. I’m experimenting with it. Actually, I got the chance to meet Goldberg and he gave me some advice that changed my outlook on wrestling. He was like, ‘If you like certain moves, don’t copy someone else’s move. Do your own spin on it and then that becomes your move. That advice really made me think a lot about what I do so, for example, instead of doing the ankle lock as my finish now, what I do is, I step over and turn it into a half-Boston ankle lock and that’s the Hendry lock.”

Financial Reinvestment:

“It’s been extremely difficult. I don’t think people realise how expensive it is to pursue a sport at an elite level without being paid any way shape of form for it. Everything that I’ve made in pro wrestling has just been immediately invested somewhere else, whether it be amateur wrestling, my Twitch channels or my recordings.”
