RESPECT:

Ox Baker- A great guy and my current trainer. I've said it before and i'll say it again "To be a Killer you have to be trained by a Killer. A master of psychology, I have had the pleasure of having him in my corner for numerous matches in my career-he is a great guy and a good freind!

Jay Sledge: My bro and 2nd place finisher in the 2000 NEW ENGLAND STRONGEST MAN CONTEST(240 PLUS DIVISION).A 600 pound bench presser and has dead lifted close to 750 lbs. He has pressed over 365 lbs over head for over 5 reps and maxed at about 425lbs!!! The only man that I trust slamming a 16 lb hammer into the cinder block resting on my head. He has helped me get ready for my demonstrations and is ready at a moments notice. We have done over two dozen strongman shows over the last 2 years and has busted his ass. Thanks man. Nowhe's down to 180lbs, good job!

Tony Rumble: Treated me with total respect and made me part of something special. I had the pleasure of traveling to and from shows with him quite a bit towards the tail end on his life. I just started to get know him personally and he passed on. He truly loved the biz and his boys.

Bill Eadie: I had the pleasure of traveling with bill a few times when he was working in New England, His insight and professionalism is second to none, his critque of my interview style has helped me tremendously.

Rick Steamboat: Tremendous wealth of knowledge and I was very happy I could perform in front of him in one of my Chaotic Wrestling Title matches. I had a great time talking to him before and after my match .

Anthony Rufo: First Class Act and My Best Friend in this sport.

Paul Zine: Great guy and friend, He helped me get work when I had none and helped design my persona -thanks man.

Cody Boynes: Talk show host and part time wrestler/ manager, is in it for the love of the game not the money.

Fred Curry: I met Flying Fred Curry at a few shows that I was working in CT. He was managing his son'' ROCKET" Fred Curry jr. We talked about his father Wild Bull Curry (personal hero of mine), The Funks, The Sheik, and so many other topics relating to wrestling past. He was a great guy to talk to.

Bert Centenno: Bert has helped me along the way. He is a true professional and has helped me in the gym countless times, He is a great trainer and has been to the show.

Chief Dave Foxx: Dave passed on this November, it was a shame. It broke my heart. He was a good friend, teacher and pro. I miss him.
