Social Media Superstar, Glitch in the System. Made my pro debut in 2011 with PCW (Premier Championship Wrestling, most notable as Kenny Omega’s home promotion) and since then have amassed 4 Canadian Championships (more than anyone for more days than anyone) and a Golden Ticket Premier Rumble victory. Over the years I realized that we are so geographically challenged that the old way of “making towns” wasn’t going to work so I had to find my own way to succeed and social media was the way to go. So I’ve doubled down on my efforts and with a vlog, podcast (and now blog), I’m hoping to not only share my personal journey with others, but inspire viewers, listeners & readers to go after what they want in life by breaking the old rules and making new ones like myself.
It’s hard a lot of times to grasp the concept of “being in the bubble” when you are in it. It’s your environment and it’s how you understand the world. It is your world.

Wrestling is just the beginning. I was watching “Ready Player One” the other day, (highly recommend it if you haven’t watched) and I realized that I just love to get lost in these deep limitless worlds. It made me realize that’s what wrestling is! It’s this never-ending story filled with spectacle and emotion and connection. There’s so much out there, whether it’s WWE or NJPW or Impact or ROH or AEW or your local independent promotion. Social Media has changed everything. Wrestling’s always been an escape but now you no longer have to wait until Monday Night to do so.…
In my last article, I had the opportunity to share my story and how I’m doing my part in trying to “Change The Wrestling World”, but now it is all about creating captivating content. In it, I explained how I’ve used my social media channels to help create awareness of myself and tell my story. I wanted to dive more into that process & how it’s worked for me so any content creators, or people on the fence about starting a YouTube channel, can take something away from my experiences. Here we are creating captivating content. When I started my…
The culture of pro wrestling fandom has exploded in the past couple of years. Despite being a pro wrestler myself, I was never one to follow consistently any independent promotions or New Japan or any other product than WWE. That all changed though on September 1st of last year with “All In” as ‘they’ were changing the wrestling world. I witnessed a new cast of characters, some I’d heard of, some I’d been in the ring with and I seen these guys come together with a belief that no one entity “owned” pro wrestling. I felt the electricity & momentum…
