Those Who Trained Me.
So, I post a lot on here about myself, especially my wrestling. I thought, I might take a post here to talk about the guys who are responsible for having trained me as a wrestler. So here goes:
Kevin Landry: Kevin owns the school I trained at back home, that essentially shaped me as a wrestler. Kevin taught me my basic bumps, and the psychology of putting a match together. I also won my first championship from him... that match was also his last match, as he is now retired from the ring! During his career Kevin wrestled for WWE, WCW, as well as stints in Canada and Puerto Rico! Here's a video of him in, I'm guessing, his prime:
"Starmaker" Aaron Morrison: Aaron was a trainer at Kevin's school for the first 6-7 months I was there. He taught me basic spots, and psychology, building off of, and around what Kevin had taught me. Here's a clip of Aaron wrestling:
Antonio "The Promise" Thomas: Antonio (Tom), took the work done by Kevin and Aaron, and fine-tuned it. Tom was responsible for having taught me most of the holds I know, as well as helping to make me more intense and believable in the ring. Tom has wrestled for WWE, TNA, All-Japan, and all throughout Europe as well! Here is a video of Tom wrestling in Japan against Akira Raijin (Better known as "Kiyoshi" in TNA!):
"Egomaniac" Jonny Idol: Jon has become basically my closest friend in wrestling, as well as my mentor when it comes to ring psychology, and wrestling etiquette. Not to mention he's kind of like me "writing team" for the PVV series! Jon's wrestled for a long time, and worked a lot of recognizable names (Shark Boy, Scotty 2 Hotty, Justin Credible, and more!) I have a TON of footage of Jon, but I'll limit the video posting to just his recent match with ECW Original (as well as former Aldo Montoya portrayer) Justin Credible!:
Dr. Heresy: Doc wrestled all over the country! He traveled everywhere, and has worked more matches than probably most wrestlers I've met. He even had a couple stops in TNA in TNA's early days. Here's a clip of Dr. Heresy wrestling/talking!:
"The Irresistible" Jason Styles: Since moving to California, I've been training with Jason Styles. Jason has helped me with my dropkicks, as well as teaching me a bunch of lucha stuff. Jason has wrestled for WWE, WCW, as well as a couple stops in Mexico! Here's a clip of Jason wrestling against some kid, and making him look pretty good!:
I also had the opportunity to train (albeit for only one night) with Jeff "Bruiser" Costas (AKA - Lobsterman!) It was pretty awesome! What a tremendous trainer! Anyhow, I thought I'd add a clip of him as well:
