Q: When did you become a wrestling fan and how?
IG: I was 11 or 12 when I first became a fan. I was flipping thru the channels and saw RAW on the USA network. It was the episode were Austin throws The Rock’s IC title into the Detroit river. I was hooked from that point on.

Q: Did you attend wrestling shows when you were a kid?
IG: Yes. I attended at least 6 shows in both CT and MA, WWE shows and indy shows. My favorite was a house show in Hartford in November 2001. The main event was Austin vs. The Rock. Great time even though I had the flu.
Q: First impressions of the business when you were training?
IG: It’s a lot harder than you think. For the first couple weeks, I was sore as hell everyday, but I wanted this so bad so it didn't matter. Also, I never realized how much goes into making a match and how little I really knew about the art of wrestling.
Q: How has life been on the Independent Scene?
IG: No words can describe how much fun I'm having living my dream. I’ve met so many people and have made so many friends doing what I love and its just going to get better.
Q: Who are some of the notable names you have wrestled?
IG: I was actually Josef Von Schmidt's first opponent (MWF in Boston) and now he is wrestling all over the place and featured in wrestling magazines. I also wrestled on the same show with names like Bryan Danielson and Colt Cabana (CTWE).
Q: What are your future plans?
IG: My plans are to get better at what I do, get more bookings and maybe one day Ill be wrestling in one of the big 3 promotions (WWE, TNA, ROH). Only time will tell.
