And just sitting there, I thought, you know, I think I would learn to wrestle.
My character is Mischief.
For a wrestling character, the easiest thing is to have something coming from inside of who you are.
My character does come from a lot of the things that I really love in life, horror movies, black metal music.
It is me to a big extreme.
It just stayed down hidden before, I guess.
(upbeat music) One of the big things that identifies Mischief is the scream.
That was never planned whatsoever.
The first match I ever had, my music hit and I walked out the entrance way and it just came out.
(Mischief screams) Another thing that I'm kinda known for is spitting the green mist.
It may not always be legal in a match, but hey, if the ref don't see it, it's all good.
(audience cheering) To become Mischief, it actually takes the energy of the crowd to walk through that curtain, to let out that first scream, hear the crowd going.
That's what it takes to actually transform and that is one of the coolest things you can get in wrestling.
When you have a crowd so into it, suddenly they're just on their feet cheering at the top of their lungs.
That's a really, really great feeling.
(Mischief screams) - [Commentator] Code green!
(wrestlers thud) - [Commentator] Wow!
- Going into my first match, I was very, very nervous.
That hasn't really changed a whole lot.
And the way I look at it, is if you're not getting nervous, then maybe you should think about doing something else.
Because, as far as I'm concerned, if you got the nerves going, then that means you care.
There is no quitting in wrestling I guess it's not really just wrestling, I don't really give up on things in life.
Usually when I do something, I do like to finish it.
I like to stick to it.
Even if I decide I don't like it halfway through, I can't leave it undone, you know.
I at least gotta go and finish it.
It's ingrained in me that the show must go on.
