Ace Sky is admittedly not the best promo, despite being a very charismatic and even loquacious, he’s known to talk in run-on sentences, plus he has a unique quick voice, like an 90’s video game character mixed with a Texan twang that comes out when he’s passionate or angry. In the past decade since his spiritual rebirth sit down interviews have always been best for him to do promos.
Match tonight:
Ace Sky:
A lot of wrestlers will make grand promises and threats of winning, I will of course give it my all but I am best at being both disciplined and devil-may care. I’m a free spirit but I am a tenacious technician magician, a savage striker and the best high flier multi-dimensionally and multi-universally.
I don’t know much about my opponent, he has to be good to be here , I am elite
—Signing with feds/ free agent status—
Ace Sky:
I love being a free agent, I have been for 10 years now, however I’ve only been one of the most requested for 4. I'm not cheap, my rate is 3 million.
If I could wrestle for free I would, unfortunately got bills to pay. I’m a bourgeois hippie nowadays to many I understand how that looks but I’ve never been about money or material gain. My parents are physicists who had to raise four children so financially it was turbulent I have been a millionaire since I was 26 , however I was broke from 18-20 when I left Texas at 3 years pro to live/ travel in an RV in Illinois. Working the midwest, midsouth and east coast I became a recognized essential figure in the generation of early 2000’s independent wrestlers, among my peers I was able to earn respect and I got what is called viral social media fame now but I wasn’t rolling in the dough.
Backyard to Independent Circuit to international and mainstream fame/injuries
I was wrestling in high school gymnasiums or basketball courts, armories and small buildings, 3 years prior I was trained at and wrestled in basically a warehouse and we did fairgrounds and parks, prior to that I was a backyard wrestler, we started on trampolines and even grass to boxing rings to building our own real pro wrestling rings and prior to that from when I was a tike I was falling on gymnastic mats, martial arts dojo mats, amateur wrestling mats. That’s pretty much how I mastered bumping safely on my head and neck, my neck was strong like a seasoned Japanese wrestler years before I became a wrestler in Japan. Since 2008 I’ve had shoulder issues which affected my arm of course, neck and shoulder issues got pretty bad in 2016-2017. I’ve been very fortunate to only have 3 concussions in my career-
2007, 2018 and 2020, all minor, nothing major also I forgot to mention, i’m incredulous how I never got HPV or ringworm from the rings I was working in on the indies early on, my first international tour in Europe was where I got to experience a well-kept ring, safe ropes, clean canvases.
My worst injury did not even come from wrestling, i’m 41 now, will be 42 in March on the 16th, on my 29th birthday in 2012 I got in a motorcycle accident- it was more of a scooter, completely fucked up my right foot. I had minor injuries with the right leg and ankle ironically, sprains and tears, one in 1999, one in 2008. I tore my left arm in 2003 and kept wrestling, not missing a day. I’ve wrestled every weekend since I made my pro debut on March 29th 1998. In 2006 I got a permanent bruise on my right arm from a legendary Japanese wrestler just pummeling my arm against the barricade.
Cannabis/ drugs in pro wrestling:
Nobody does what we do and remains unscathed. I have the old school wrestler mentality of never stopping even when you really should because if you aren’t contributing to where you are signed and are sidelined it is really tough to get back into the fold. I was very lucky that despite my suspensions for failing drug tests in WWE( world wrestling enterprise) which the dirt sheets never knew was not for recreation, it was for my injuries with my shoulder, torn rotator cuff. It was also an addiction, which many people scoff at, that marijuana addiction is real but anything can be an addiction, from drugs, to alcohol to being a work-aholic or exercise. There’s acceptable drugs and unacceptable drugs. Pain-killers are like candy for our community, in society
For pre-work out you can use caffeine and supplements, that’s encouraged, you can smoke cigarettes or vape, and drinking alcohol is the worst but it gets the same treatment as cannabis as criminal punishment when it’s a drunk driver that’s responsibility for man-slaughter of course. I also had an alcohol addiction in 2021 but I became sober on November 30th 2022 However I will never complain too much because drug laws are used to target minorities much worse.

WWE marketing him incorrectly:
Really it is all perspective. I am someone who looks ahead, I don’t like to live in the past which is actually really tough because with my high IQ I have an eidetic memory, I don’t worry about regrets but in the past few years in my older age now I have developed hindsight which is necessary. I have always hated the concept of New Years Resolutions , because people who say that say I will do it then and then when that time comes and they are more likely to put it off. With my spiritual rebirth I went very Star Wars-Yoda evolution don’t try anymore just do it.
WWE treated me pretty well but the bad thing was the marketing, I didn’t know myself so it was easier for them to advertise me in 30 seconds or less as “ the shooting star press guy”. I took pride in it, it was my main attraction however my reputation also came from the dynamic style that was influenced by the super juniors and cruiserweights. Even though my contemporaries wrestle a certain similar style we’ve all remained unique, each of us doing basic arm drag makes us stand out in a unique way in the way we do it.
Insecurities and in ring style, paying dues:
A lot of my insecurities and mental issues stem from being surrounded by fellow prodigal wrestlers, I had to stick out with being a dare-devil when really all I’ve wanted to be was more of a pure wrestler, even at 15-18 I loved doing power bombs, tiger, german and dragon suplexes which at 5’6 and 120 lbs I could do really well somehow. With my amateur wrestling background I have always been a technician-magician of catch wrestling and an underrated submission specialist. My more technical side has come out more and been noticed the past 8 years but I have always been the type of high-flier/ super junior that is focused on the foundation , to a fault even.
There are times in my prime when I should have been more crazy, done more extreme stuff,
Sweating the technique can cost you victory. Plus I am equally an entertainer to a competitor to a detriment.
Charisma is such a misused and incorrectly used word in wrestling, I’ve always been charismatic come out with my entrance since I was 10 as a backyard wrestler, get a big pop from my positive aura shining through, I wasn’t shy at all in high-fiving fans around ring side and flipping into the ring.
I came off as a cocky-son of a bitch but my intention with my vibe was more of an ecstatic “ look what I can do”, and bitter veterans I trained with having that vibe around them made me a black sheep of the locker room, on top of the stigmas of my size and past as a backyard wrestler, which made them overlook my athletic background in soccer, gymnastics, amateur wrestling and Taekwondo. I had a deep portfolio of maneuvers going into my pro training.
I started training in Galveston Championship Wrestling on January 20th 1997. I had received my black belt in Taekwondo on my 10th birthday March 16th 1993, about 5 or 6 years earlier than most achieve that, I had started in Taekwondo on April 15th 1988, debuted as a backyard wrestler on May 8th 1993, had my farewell match on September 6th 1996.
Around October my worst quality of being headstrong came out as I was one of the couple backyard wrestlers who aspired to become pro. I told my parents I was gonna be a wrestler and I was essentially gonna run away from home to Canada or Mexico to get trained, they calmed me down and we found Galveston Championship Wrestling, I was from Sugar Land in Houston just 64 miles away.
My parents instilled a great work ethic in me so they told me I had to gain the funds for my pro training, it took 134 days which is about four months to do so, I used some of my Bar Mitzvah money but most of it came from my work as the neighborhood paper boy which I did via skateboard, cleaning pools and mowing lawns of neighbors and tutoring their older children for the SATS, working at an ice cream shop and designing the art and building the skateboards at the local skate-shop. I worked myself silly. After I moved to Illinois in 2001 living and traveling via RV, I began working at a rag tag-tech start up in a strip mall as a code monkey( coder), however by a year later I was let go due to my wrestling gigs getting in the way of my work schedule. As I mentioned despite gaining a following among the IWC
My experience with promoters trying to discriminate against me due to being a ‘ featherweight” wasn’t that hard, I could crack the joke “ You don’t have a rollercoaster height chart” or he would even use physical intimidation.. “ Look at my arm, it’s bigger than your dick” and then threatening to or even applying an armbar to them. This helped with not getting stiffed on pay. If he became a regular some promoters would still demean him by calling him “ twinkle-toes”. “ Make sure you do that shooting star press, twinkle-toes”.

Chemical imbalances and disorders-
I have autism spectrum disorder, ADHD. I also have histrionic personality disorder, which is an attention-seeking disorder, I’m an out-going outsider, amicable yet annoying, I just had these values based off growing up undersized in Texas where the love and preference for things big culturally is not a stereotype, so I had to be big action. Also I was the first to stand up to bullies and fight for the weak, I stood up for gentle- giants a lot too, generally average sized citizens are not combative physically. If everyone loved to fight the world would be even more chaotic.
I move to the beat of my own drum, I am a paradoxical enigma which is why my detractors say I am an insincere person, I am a trickster in ring for sure, strategy wise of course. Of course I’m not the nice guy I am outside the ring inside the ring, that would be silly.
