A Brief History: Part Two

Yes, I was the man to help NWA Anarchy get on the map. Well, one of men at least. I debuted there in October 2005 and was already Television Champion five months later in March 2006. It was a quick push, a really quick one. Looking back, I realize I didn’t really appreciate being champion as much as I could have. So I lost the title a couple of months later and began to treat wrestling as more of a hobby than a career move. I was realizing that I should get back in college and finish up because if wrestling wasn’t going to work out, I needed a back up plan. I just didn’t know what I wanted to study.

I returned to Kennesaw State University in the Spring of 2007 with a better attitude about school and it showed. My grades were better and I didn’t mind attending classes. I did ok that first semester back, but I knew I could do better. I took the summer off from school to try to focus on wrestling and was actually pretty close to making things happen.

Long story short (I don’t want details to come off the wrong way), I was told I was being reviewed by a promotion in Japan and things were looking good but then it just kind of fizzled out. Maybe I should have been more proactive. All I new was that I was going to try, try again. And harder next time. I just didn’t know when “next time” would be.

Not getting Japan in the Summer of 2007 made me realize that this is going to be harder than I thought. But in the long run, it was probably a good thing because I still had a ways to go in school.

In the Fall of 2007, I became an ACADEMIC ANIMAL. I kept up with wrestling as a hobby, but school was where my heart was. I loved it. I couldn’t get enough. I finally realized that knowledge really is power and intelligence is the greatest gift of all.
