I want to be the wrestler that entertains in a very memorable way. That, at the end of the night, the crowd remembers as being something special in the ring. I want my love, for what I do, to exude from my pores and touch the audience personally. This is my childhood dream. I want the crowd to be able to feel that love, every time I step between the ropes!
