Iron Eagle
Why did you become a wrestler? Well, I started watching wrestling when I was around five years old. I don't remember how I started watching it, but it was right around the time of the first Wrestle Mania. My very first memory of it is watching Don Maraco, King Kong Bundy and Bobby Heenan attacking Hulk Hogan. I was so upset it made me nauseous. That's how into it I was. I used to tell my mother that I wanted to be 2 things when I grew up. A wrestler and a mail man. My logic at the time was that so while I was delivering the mail, the kids in the neighborhood could chase me down for my autograph. Although, the desire to be a mailman faded. The desire to become a pro wrestler remained, and finally when I was 22 years old, I found a pro wrestling school and joined. The rest is history from there.

Iron Eagle - "First I want to thank you, the interviewer for wanting to interview me. I also want to thank anyone who takes the time to read this interview. Its always a great feeling for me when someone wants to take time out of there day to hear what I have to say. It means that people are interested in me, and respect what I do. I also want to thank anyone who has ever come up to me at a show, and various other places and asked me for my autograph. Some of the best memories from my childhood are of going and getting autographs from the different wrestlers. If I can create any memories like that for just one child who's a wrestling fan today, than that's a major accomplishment for me. I would also like to thank my friends inside the wrestling business. Guys like Kidd USA Jay Jaillet, G. Q. Smooth, Spider etc. who have helped create a lot of good times and memories for me thus far in my wrestling career, and in my life in general. And last but not least, I would like to thank my mom and my girlfriend Kelly, for both being very supportive of me and my career. I love you both.
