"Rowdy" Roddy Piper​​

​​​​

What made you want to be a wrestler?

​​

What made me want to become a wrestler was the chip on my shoulder from constantly being told I was too small to make it. That doubt pushed me. Seeing Roddy Piper- who, in his era, was considered on the smaller side-was the first moment that hooked me! Later watching Rey Mysterio Jr in the '90s showed me that it truly was possible for someone my size to at minimum, participate. But it was seeing Chip Stetson live at the first independent wrestling show I ever attended in 2000 that solidified it for me. In that moment, I realized the only thing standing in my way6 was myself! ​

​​​​

One moment as a UPW star, that you will always remember?

​

​One moment as a UPW star that I will always remember: its hard to choose just one, so ill take the liberty of sharing 3 moments that will always stay with me.......​​

​

The first was being part of the very first match in UPW history alongside Hall of Famer Dicky Sanchez. At this time, I don't think either of us realized the incredible chapter of professional wrestling we were helping to start in this region. Later that same night, I was honored to be one of the first champions crowned, holding what was then the UPW light Heavyweight Championship. If I'm not mistaken-and feel free to correct me- I believe that title's lineage lives on today as the No Limits Championship, which brings me to the second moment; winning that title in 2023 after my 2021-2022 comeback was sidelined by injury. That win meant a great deal to me.

 

The third is Anniversary Anarchy last year. The energy in the building was electric. While I didn't walk away with the win that night, everything that led to that match was incredibly special. Even in defeat, I could feel the crowd's support. They saw me, respected me, and cared, and that's something  I'll always be proud of!

​

Do you see yourself as UPW Heavyweight Champion in the near future?​​​

 

ABSOLUTELY - I'll never say anything but "Yes" to that. Becoming UPW Champion has always been the goal, no matter my age or how many times I throw around the word "Retirement." If the opportunity presents itself, I'm ready to seize it - whatever it takes. And I think the entire roster knows that, too.​​​

​

What is something no one knows about you but they should?!?!

​​

I'm very grateful for every lesson learned along the way, and genuinely care about people when the cameras are off. If anything I do here at UPW helps people forget about the real world, even just for a little bit, that to me is the barometer for which a "Job well done" is set.​
