How's it going everybody? This is the Professor Rick del Santo.
You're listening to the Professor Rick Delsanto Podcast, part of
Pro Wrestling Wire, dot Net, AIWF Network, Helix, Rock Radio,
and all your favorite podcasting platforms. I'm joined today by
a very special guest and friend, Paradise Sally, Pro Wrestling
United States Champion, the Bosnian Bolt Mirsa. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I'm doing phenomenal today. How about you?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I am awesome. It's a great Friday afternoon. You have
a big match coming up tomorrow. You've had a lot
of big opportunities as of late. But before we get
into any of that stuff, why don't we get into
a little bit about your history. How you got into
professional wrestling, how you got interested in training to be
a professional wrestling, How you discovered mister Mansini and Paul Roma.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So when I was like about three years old, I
went over one of my I didn't grow up with cable,
mind you, So I would always have to go up
to my friend's house and he put on one time
wrestling I think it was John Cena and Randy Orn
versus the Raw Roster was the first thing I ever saw.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I was like, this is awesome. Like I couldn't stop watching.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So every weekend I started going with my friend's house,
started going over my friend's house and keep watching. I'm like,
we were playing the wrestling games, we were doing all that.
And then I finally got cable and I started watching
it like Rod in the USA, and I don't know
what when SmackDown was on, but like it was always
changing during the twenty tens. But that's how I got
into it, and ironically enough, how I saw it to
PAPW was I grew up with Jeremy, who I'm facing tomorrow,
(01:57):
and me and him were in school and we see
this poster and we're like, what's this.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It was a PAPW poster.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I think Holiday was on it and stuff, and he's like,
this is an East statement Connecticut. We should we should
one day because we always wanted to be we should
go there one day. I'm like, you know what, we
should and Then about my senior year of high school,
I had the decision if I was going to go
to college or start wrestling. So I said, I'm going
to say I know I'm not going to college. I
don't want to. I wanted to start wrestling. I called
(02:26):
the school. Mario answers the phone. He said, who's this kid,
I'm like, my name's Miersa. I really want to start
wrestling training. I went down to school in about October
of twenty twenty two. I met Mario and Roman the
same night he came to the Monday training and ever
since then, I've been training, working my butt off.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What was that initial reaction like when you got in
the ring for the first time?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh oh scared. It took a couple couple of times.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
It was my first time really going out of the
balloom into like a new area for me, out of
my comfort zone. I'm really glad I did it because
there's changed me a lot. But when I took my
first bump, like wow, this is this is not a cheerfully,
this isn't a mattress.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know, this is this is the real deal.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know what I'm saying, nothing but stealing would were
you familiar with mister Mancini or mister Roma at all
or did you do some research on either of them?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
If I'm being honest, I did not know either of
them before I started training. I didn't really watch the
nineties and eighties before I start training. But now it's
like the only thing I watch. I don't watch. I
watch it more.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Than smart Man.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Smart Man because I go back and watch a lot
of eighties wrestling. I myself and I say, this doesn't
want to sound like kind of nerdy or whatever, but
I was a huge Paul Roma fan, and I was
a huge Mario Mancini fan.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
They always rooted for him as a child that one
day he would surprise the world and come away with
a win. So but now it's, you know, it's a
little bit different. I go there, I'm friends with you
both of these guys, and it's the two of the
nicest guys I've ever met in this world. Yeah. Have
you ever had one of those of Mancini cheesecakes?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I have?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Actually, Like the month after he made it, like he
was like, yeah you should try this kid. You brought
on a big slice and I was like, wow, this
is probably the best cheesecap I had.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, I guys, say, shout out Tomorrio. When I was
hospitalized last summer. When I came home after my surgery,
he brought over it, drove all the way to my
house in Wallingford, Connecticut, and brought a cheesecake for me.
Wow to shout out to him. So thank you so much,
mister Mancini. And I believe I got one for Christmas
as well, and I wasn't going to bring it to
my family's house, but it ended up getting eaten beforehand.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Between me and it's too good not to eat.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Absolutely absolutely tell me about your first opponent. I know
I'm going to ask you about some specifics coming up,
but tell me about your first match.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
So I'm pretty sure it was Alan and mister Z,
And honestly, I could not have had a bet he
first match for a poemanswise again to be with one.
I started training with mister Z almost at the same time,
like he probably started two months after me, So we've
been we've been going like we've been training at the
same time. And Alan was actually the first person to
(05:13):
show me how to take a bump while Mario and
Romore getting the class already. Like Alan pulled me aside.
He's like, all right, this is how you do it.
And he's done a lot of first for me. He's
been a very good mentor of mine. I give him
all the respects. He's given me a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So Alan's a great guy. He's a lot of a
He's one that you want to have on your side.
Always become a great friend. And you know, like I said,
he's he's willing to go that extra milen help guys
such as yourself. I know that much.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So and he's improved greatly. I told him, actually I
said at one point that couldn't stand you or your gimmick.
But your gimmick got over on me after probably about
almost two years, and I've become you know, and we've
become good friends, so you know, so it I love
that guy, so man, oh absolutely, And he's a very
(06:04):
very funny and entertaining fella as well. On top of it, though,
you uh, the first time I actually saw you wrestle.
See I wasn't there for that match that you just mentioned,
but I believe that there was a show and it
was probably about a year ago. Close to a year ago. Uh,
you had taken on Troy Stevens. Oh yeah, at the
training facility. Crowd was packed and I got to say
(06:28):
it was very fast paced, and I said, holy shit,
this match is awesome with the exception and I think
I told you this. At one point you look like
your feet were moving a little too fast for you
and you had to reposition yourself at least once or twice.
And I said, outside of that, I said, you know,
I think I might have mentioned I said, keep your
eye on that, and then you got it. You'll be
(06:48):
fucking great. And I got to say that match was awesome,
So what's it like working And then I think, hold on,
I'm going to go back before. You also wrestle each
other over the summer at the Armada Brewing the summer
series they do the outdoors that are made of brewing.
This match was a little different because it had rained.
There was a little bit slippery miss on the on
the mat, so you guys went through a different approach.
(07:11):
It wasn't as fast paced, but it was very good.
So what what is it do you like working with Troy?
Has it working with Troy and he's a he's a professional,
like he's been around for a very long time.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
He is amazing to work with, Like I think my
first match with him is honestly still my favorite match
that I've wrestled so far. He like he guided me
through the whole thing. He's helped me a lot. He's like,
I don't like, we don't even need to talk about anything.
We literally our chemistry together, just we snap like bread
and butter. You know, we keep going and keep going.
(07:41):
Even if, like I slip up, he controls it and
it's like nothing even happened.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know. He's a phenomenal worker. He's trained me so much.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
He's taught me so much in the ring, and he's
also another mentor I love to have next to me.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, from there, I'm not trying to remember. I'm
trying to remember where you went from there because I
haven't caught a lot of the Summer series, and I
went to a few of them over the summer, but
my schedule is quite busy. The Summer series usually takes
place on Saturdays. My son had an acting class out
of state once a month, and sometimes they fall on
(08:14):
the same date, so I don't get to do a
lot of shows. But I know that you you not
so long ago. I think it's a month ago, maybe
a little bit over a month ago. You captured the
United States Championship from the Red Devil mooch. Look at
that beautiful belt there. That is a beautiful belt Paradise.
A lot of more thought into getting that belt. But
(08:36):
you know, you've been wrestling roughly what a little bit
over a year, like actually out in front of the crowd,
not even.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Out in front of a crowd next month, my one year.
So I haven't even had one year yet.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Nope, and you captured the belt already. So how does
that feel about you getting such the opportunity and then
winning that belt?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Shocking? I didn't expect.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I thought I always I had the confidence that I'd
win a belt eventually in my career, but I wanted
this early. I'm very grateful, very honored every day that
Roman Mario trusts me enough to have it. And I'm
super thankful. I like I didn't I didn't even know
I was gonna win the belt, like they surprised me.
(09:20):
I was super happy. I'm like, I'm honored. I was
thankful and now I'm defending it. You know what I'm
saying hopefully for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah. Yeah, you went down to uh, North Carolina for
the AIWF thirty three, thirty third anniversary event, and you
brought that belt with you. What was it like going
down now? Was that your first time out of state
or have you been traveling with you know, I know
that blood Soed brings a bunch of guys around. Have
you traveled with him prior?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So? This was my first time wrestling out of state ever,
and I haven't gone to anything in New England yet.
I've been waiting toning my skills, but this was my
first time going down and I was I was like
shocked to see how much different it is compared to
He was also my first promotion out of PAPW now
on the out of state, so I had a couple
of matches down there.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I showcased the belt.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I didn't win anything, but you know, I never got
tinned or anything, so I never I never got lost clean,
you know.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah. Yeah, Well, we got a lot of guys that
went down there that came back with gold which was
from PAPW, which is Corey and Nelly came back with
the AIWF World Tagney Championships which I mean, I thought
that was pretty exciting. I was supposed to be on
that trip, but of course, my life. I wouldn't say
(10:33):
my adulthood gotten away, family, I wouldn't say getting away
my were you were having that that launch show, the
Northeast show, and my wife ended up actually in the
emergency room that night, So I ended up having to
cancel everything, my whole part of that trip, which was
family first. That's always the number one priority with me.
But you know, there's always another time that I'd love
to come down there on or anywhere with you guys
(10:55):
and to go on like a weekend trip like that,
because it seemed like it was a really awesome time.
Bloodstell came out with the United States no excuse me,
the television championship uh In Kaizu, the Northeast of the
AAW Northeast show launched and he he beat Bloodsaw for
(11:15):
the the Atlantic championship. Excuse me, I'm drawing the blank. Het.
I knew we should have written this stuff down, but
you know, and then he went down there and he
tore shit up out in uh down in North Carolina
as well.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Yeah, I'm honestly so proud of all of them. Like
to see me kaizo. When he first started, he started
like I think we actually trained. He tried out on
the same day I did when we first started training.
And then he waited a couple months after to get
the money, you know, uh right, and then to see
him get all this is awesome man, Like I went.
(11:48):
I went right next to him and said, man, we're
both champions. You know, we started together and now we're
both champs. And then seeing Corey and Nelly go at it,
I mean they've been making so much fast Progrem Stanley
start training like maybe like just over a year ago,
and now there chances as well. They've been going through
the States with blood saw going at Nelly was on
(12:09):
you know, he was doing plant work for the WWE.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
You know, it's yeah, awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah. He had a hell of a weekend that weekend
because he was with you guys in North Carolina for
that big event and then came back and then drove
to Buffalo the same morning. He was there. He was
security on Monday Night Raw. He broke up the fight
between see Him Punk and and Seth Rollins, which you know,
the funny part about is mister Saban and I talked
(12:36):
just about every day. I didn't watch RAW that night.
I was gonna wait and watch it in the morning
because I forgot what I think. I got busy, and
he texted me saying, did you see what happened on
Monday night Raw? I'm like no. He's like, well, usually
if things are local, I look and see if there's
anybody I know. He goes, I didn't think in Buffalo
there'd be somebody I know. And then I was like,
(12:56):
Then he sent me a picture. He said, holy shit,
there's Nelly's standing right behind. I think it's wrong before
the fight broke out.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
It's like, honestly to see a whole roster getting this
much opportunity and all of us are getting out there,
just showing what Roma and Mancini taught into our brains
and see teaching.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It to everybody else. You know.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's yep.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
See, I'm very happy for everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, I mean those opportunities are gonna come to
you as well. You've got you know, you're getting out
there and now so you've also, like you said, you
worked at one match outside of state. Is there other
places out of state or anywhere else that you're looking to.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Get into anywhere.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Really one thing, I'm really I'm gonna try if the
Wrestling Open has another try out. Marburry's been like ask me, hey,
you should try out. When it happens, I'm like, I'll see.
Like you know, I've been I've been trying to put
on more muscle, so like I'm more TV ready, you know,
get more weight.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
On me because I'm I'm obviously not the biggest.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Very skinny guy. I noticed that you gotta put on
some weight there.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I've so funny thing I've started a wrestling When I
first started training, I was one thirty, so I was
even skinnier. But what I am now and I'm almost
one seventies, so I've packed up pounds but it doesn't
really look like much and some taller, so.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
You know, yeah the start, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
A couple of stakes will help like start getting in
that in that shape. So yeah, tell me about mister z.
I know you said you worked with him, and what's
it like working with him because his and what do
you think of his character because he's, uh, it's quite
the evil character.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
He's very vicious.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, his character is out of this world and no
pun intended, you know, he's he's very scary, you know,
and he's very strong with his slaps. I'll tell you
that his slaps are not the not the best to take.
But when I was in the ring with him, you know,
we worked awesome. He mean also that other chemistry thing,
like me and him worked very well together. I feel
(14:48):
like his character versus my character is really good because
it's like this positive guy kid going at it versus
this like vicious monster guy who nobody knows where he's
from your snipe mare, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, And I love I really dig the character. I'm
not I'm not typically into the dark characters. You know.
I'm very old school, you know what i mean. Put
me next to Mario and Paul, and I'm very like
just Bland, old school professional wrestling from the seventies or eighties.
It's and then it's like, but mister Z is another
(15:22):
one that grew on me. Like he's brutal, he screams
kind of he's just yeah, he does, he does. I
mean sometimes he might need not need to, but he does.
But it's very entertaining, you know what I mean. And
he doesn't he won't get me an interview because he
doesn't he doesn't want to come. Yeah, I don't know.
I think he's gonna kill me if he comes on
this podcast.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
But oh yeah, you know, I think he might just
through the screen. The amount of he shows this is
a little scary. You know, you might scare the crap out.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
If you saw many in Paradise. He scared the crap
out of at court backstage.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
On the Clipper. He goes, oh dude.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. I was fortunate to do commentary
for that show. And I actually found out about forty
five minutes before the show started. So I was still
in my house. I hadn't left. I was getting ready
to leave, and then I got a text, when are
you come in here? I said, I don't know, I'll
be there in a little while. It goes, well, we
(16:20):
have an extra person for the booth and we want
you in here. So I said, oh, I grabbed a
shirt and got in the car and made it there
ten minutes to spare.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But from where I live in Wallingford, Woodbridge is I
grew up in Woodridge around the corner from that building,
so I knew it very well. But it's from where
I am in Wallingford it's not that close, you know,
so it's typically a half an hour drive, but I
probably made their twenty five minutes driving so fast on
the highway. So yeah, I had a blast that night.
(16:49):
That was my official debut in Paradise Sally. I had
done like two matches in the past for like the
Diabetes of Benefits that they used to do, but this
was my first full show there, and I got to
say that I was completely honored to be a part
of the team and being sitting in the booth with
Big Daddy and of course my pal Kevin Saban, who
I get to We've done shows all over with each other,
(17:11):
so uh, and that he's always a fun one to
have in the in the booth with me.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah. So uh, let's see you have a very important
matchup tonight. As you mentioned, Jeremy's a big pain in
the ass, but he's been out in the in tearing it.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Up everywhere, literally everywhere all of you.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
When you see he's gone through Wrestling Federation of America.
He's I believe that he had a Wrestling Open tryout.
I think that he I'm trying to think of some
of the other ones that he's been to but he's uh,
now he's been a fight life a couple of times. Uh,
he's been pretty much everywhere in New England for the
most part. But he wants to challenge you for that
(17:50):
United States Championship. And if you saw on the YouTube
or exceed me on the Facebook video, he said you
were a terrible represent represented of the United States of
America and he attacked you from behind. Andy gave me,
mister Mancini a bunch of shit. So what's going on?
What is going to happen tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You know, tomorrow is the first time we're gonna see
one on one without him having a sneak attack or
any so to say, like secrets up his sleeve. You know,
it's just me and him. There's nothing he could do
against me. When it's just me and him, I can
get on him, beat him up, put my slice bread
onto him, count one, two three, get him out of here,
(18:34):
because he thinks he's representing the United States Championship.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
If you're hitting me from behind, come on, how is that?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I mean, that is kind of a low blow. That
is kind of cheesy to kind attack somebody from behind, right.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, he's low blowed me in a rumble before till
it make me. He's attacked me, behind, distracted me. He's
never beat me in a fair way. He always has
to have some sort of plot or scheme to beat me.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But tomorrow it ain't gonna be none of that.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
It's just gonna be Bosie and Bolt versus mister Lacroix,
old fashioned wrestling. That's hopefully I could keep representing the
United States in a good way and not in the
Jeremy way.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I mean, yeah, you're gonna walk out with that type.
Let me ask you that because I didn't get a
chance to ask you before. How did you come up
with the name of the Bosmian Bolt.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
So I always wanted to be something Bosnian, even though
I don't really I do speak it like not like
fluentibou understand it all, and I don't incorporate a lot
to my gimmick. But I've always wanted to be Like
when I was in school, everyone called me the BOSSI
and beast, but for wrestling, I can't really be called
that because I'm not too sixty inject, you know. So
Roma gave me the idea of like, send a couple
(19:42):
of words that start with bat and I came up
with bolt.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm like, that.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Fits me perfectly because I'm fast in the ring, high flyer.
So I'm I was like, you know what, Roma, do
you think this works? And Roma said, heck, yeah it does.
You got that kid, I'm like, thank you. He helped
me with that getting it.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
So yeah, Hey, he's helped a number of guys come
up with their gimmicks and stuff like that, and I
think that a lot of times, like they work, you
know what I mean? Yeah, I do have some more.
Did you play sports as a youngster prior to pro wrestling?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
So I was not the most athletic kid when I
was growing up until I was really short, believe it
or not. Until I was in my sophomore year of
high school when COVID hit it was all online. I
skyrocketed in height. I went from being like four foot
ten to six foot like in the year. And then
I started playing a lot of basketball. I started getting
like cardio fit wise. I wasn't muscle building yet, but
(20:36):
I was still moving a lot. And then I also
had the choices, Like I said, my senior year basketball
or like in college or wrestling, I said, I just
started I could start wrestling now and have a way
better career than I can with all the other things.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think what else you got
out there? What's coming up for the Bosnian Bowl besides
tomorrow night?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
So tomorrow night I got the match obviously, and then
for PAPW shows. I've been trying in talks with Pure
Vanguard Wrestling. They've been what the Nick Mitchell, the referee
from He's been asking me, and I've been I want
to go on. Of course, with the opportunity given, I'm
and now I'm gonna start traveling. I think next month
(21:22):
I'm going to West Virginia with Blood Saw, Corey and
Nelly and that's I don't remember the promotion what.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Was called, but we're going.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
He invited me and he said I took the essencely,
I'm like, yes, please, I want to go out. I
want to get out more so, I got a couple
of things coming up.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, here's another one. I don't think a lot of people.
I mentioned it once one other time on this show.
Off the show got canceled. I am also making my
Pure Vanguard debut at the next show, but I was
supposed to at the you know, but it got snowed out.
So so me and Kevin Saman are going to be
making our debuts together. I'm very excited for it because
(22:00):
it's a very good company. I don't know if you've
seen the videos at all, it's it's it's very good,
old school style wrestling. That's my bag. I love it
and uh, you know, it's it's going to be a
fun thing. And it's in Bristol, which I love that building.
Normally they're in Bristol. I should say my son used
to play basketball in that when he played aau ball
(22:20):
he always used to go. We always used to uh,
he played tournaments there and it was a lot of fun,
you know what I mean. It's a great building. It
looks beautiful for wrestling. I've worked several other promotions in
that building, So it's gonna be fun, you know. And
I think that seeing you at Pure Vanguard and seeing
you getting out there, I think, you know, seeing you
get out more would be a fun thing because I
think that you definitely have the potential to go out
(22:42):
there and do uh do just you know, working your
local promotion. But uh, you know, but I understand, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
No, I I think my goal for this year is
to try start getting out as many promotions as I
can now because Roma has been pushing me and manson, Hey,
like you should be starting to go out. I'm like yesterday,
So I've been had the go for it for a while,
but now like I'm confident enough with my body to
start showing myself way more out there.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, and showing the US title. You know what aw
I can do?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
You know, yeah? Absolutely. I mean there's also you know,
several other groups in Connecticut that that could probably use
you guys, like, you know, my home, my second home,
I should say Colosseum Pro Wrestling, which is I absolutely
love Colosseum Pro Wrestling, and you know, I'm always a
recommending talent man. You should try to come down there.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
At some point, I got to help out, you know,
come to it. I want to Dave like they've been like,
I don't know who asked me, but they've been like saying, hey,
you know, we want you over there. So hopefully good
enough I can help out and then get a spot
if if it.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Be, yeah, absolutely, Is there anything else you want to
throw out there before we wrap it up?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I want to shout shout out one specific person from
PAPW that's Sylvan aka Dan. He has mentored me not
only in wrestling. He literally gave me the idea for
my finisher. It gave me so many ideas and for
my promos and everything, but justin general as a huge
like my human being side outside of wrestling, just me.
(24:19):
He's really helped me grow my confidence, my mentality for everything,
and he's given me so much advice to just grow
as a person. And I really want to give them
a shout out out of everybody.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
And obviously my family.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
They give me the chance to not go to college
to do wrestling and they really fully support me.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
So that's awesome to have the support. A lot of
times people don't have the support and they think that
doing something such as concentrating on a wrestling or music
career or something like that is not a good idea.
But that's awesome to have the family support. And I
gotta give a shout. Let's go ahead with Sylvan as well.
Behind the character the real person of Dan, Sylvan is
(24:58):
one of the nicest and kindest human beings. He's the
complete opposite of his character. I know, I just let
that out here on this podcast. Is probably gonna kill me,
but you know, I.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Think he'll be fine with this this, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, he's a great guy and having a conversation with
him is always pleasurable. So yeah, so, uh, that's tomorrow night.
That's going to be what's it? What's today's day? It's
March fifteenth, the Paradise Alley Pro Wrestling Training Facility. Mare's
a the Bosnian Bolt taking on Jeremy Laquad. There's a
lot of great action going on tomorrow. So if you
(25:33):
guys get a chance, I want you all to come down.
It's a six sixty five co Avenue, Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I think ok?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Co Avenue. Sorry, I'm probably nixing the coliseum building up
six sixty two Co Avenue, East Haven, Connecticut. Everybody, come

How's it going everybody? This is the Professor Rick del Santo.
You're listening to the Professor Rick Delsanto Podcast, part of
Pro Wrestling Wire, dot Net, AIWF Network, Helix, Rock Radio,
and all your favorite podcasting platforms. I'm joined today by
a very special guest and friend, Paradise Sally, Pro Wrestling
United States Champion, the Bosnian Bolt Mirsa. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I'm doing phenomenal today. How about you?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I am awesome. It's a great Friday afternoon. You have
a big match coming up tomorrow. You've had a lot
of big opportunities as of late. But before we get
into any of that stuff, why don't we get into
a little bit about your history. How you got into
professional wrestling, how you got interested in training to be
a professional wrestling, How you discovered mister Mansini and Paul Roma.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So when I was like about three years old, I
went over one of my I didn't grow up with cable,
mind you, So I would always have to go up
to my friend's house and he put on one time
wrestling I think it was John Cena and Randy Orn
versus the Raw Roster was the first thing I ever saw.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I was like, this is awesome. Like I couldn't stop watching.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So every weekend I started going with my friend's house,
started going over my friend's house and keep watching. I'm like,
we were playing the wrestling games, we were doing all that.
And then I finally got cable and I started watching
it like Rod in the USA, and I don't know
what when SmackDown was on, but like it was always
changing during the twenty tens. But that's how I got
into it, and ironically enough, how I saw it to
PAPW was I grew up with Jeremy, who I'm facing tomorrow,
(01:57):
and me and him were in school and we see
this poster and we're like, what's this.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It was a PAPW poster.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I think Holiday was on it and stuff, and he's like,
this is an East statement Connecticut. We should we should
one day because we always wanted to be we should
go there one day. I'm like, you know what, we
should and Then about my senior year of high school,
I had the decision if I was going to go
to college or start wrestling. So I said, I'm going
to say I know I'm not going to college. I
don't want to. I wanted to start wrestling. I called
(02:26):
the school. Mario answers the phone. He said, who's this kid,
I'm like, my name's Miersa. I really want to start
wrestling training. I went down to school in about October
of twenty twenty two. I met Mario and Roman the
same night he came to the Monday training and ever
since then, I've been training, working my butt off.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What was that initial reaction like when you got in
the ring for the first time?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh oh scared. It took a couple couple of times.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
It was my first time really going out of the
balloom into like a new area for me, out of
my comfort zone. I'm really glad I did it because
there's changed me a lot. But when I took my
first bump, like wow, this is this is not a cheerfully,
this isn't a mattress.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know, this is this is the real deal.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know what I'm saying, nothing but stealing would were
you familiar with mister Mancini or mister Roma at all
or did you do some research on either of them?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
If I'm being honest, I did not know either of
them before I started training. I didn't really watch the
nineties and eighties before I start training. But now it's
like the only thing I watch. I don't watch. I
watch it more.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Than smart Man.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Smart Man because I go back and watch a lot
of eighties wrestling. I myself and I say, this doesn't
want to sound like kind of nerdy or whatever, but
I was a huge Paul Roma fan, and I was
a huge Mario Mancini fan.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
They always rooted for him as a child that one
day he would surprise the world and come away with
a win. So but now it's, you know, it's a
little bit different. I go there, I'm friends with you
both of these guys, and it's the two of the
nicest guys I've ever met in this world. Yeah. Have
you ever had one of those of Mancini cheesecakes?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I have?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Actually, Like the month after he made it, like he
was like, yeah you should try this kid. You brought
on a big slice and I was like, wow, this
is probably the best cheesecap I had.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, I guys, say, shout out Tomorrio. When I was
hospitalized last summer. When I came home after my surgery,
he brought over it, drove all the way to my
house in Wallingford, Connecticut, and brought a cheesecake for me.
Wow to shout out to him. So thank you so much,
mister Mancini. And I believe I got one for Christmas
as well, and I wasn't going to bring it to
my family's house, but it ended up getting eaten beforehand.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Between me and it's too good not to eat.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Absolutely absolutely tell me about your first opponent. I know
I'm going to ask you about some specifics coming up,
but tell me about your first match.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
So I'm pretty sure it was Alan and mister Z,
And honestly, I could not have had a bet he
first match for a poemanswise again to be with one.
I started training with mister Z almost at the same time,
like he probably started two months after me, So we've
been we've been going like we've been training at the
same time. And Alan was actually the first person to
(05:13):
show me how to take a bump while Mario and
Romore getting the class already. Like Alan pulled me aside.
He's like, all right, this is how you do it.
And he's done a lot of first for me. He's
been a very good mentor of mine. I give him
all the respects. He's given me a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So Alan's a great guy. He's a lot of a
He's one that you want to have on your side.
Always become a great friend. And you know, like I said,
he's he's willing to go that extra milen help guys
such as yourself. I know that much.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So and he's improved greatly. I told him, actually I
said at one point that couldn't stand you or your gimmick.
But your gimmick got over on me after probably about
almost two years, and I've become you know, and we've
become good friends, so you know, so it I love
that guy, so man, oh absolutely, And he's a very
(06:04):
very funny and entertaining fella as well. On top of it, though,
you uh, the first time I actually saw you wrestle.
See I wasn't there for that match that you just mentioned,
but I believe that there was a show and it
was probably about a year ago. Close to a year ago. Uh,
you had taken on Troy Stevens. Oh yeah, at the
training facility. Crowd was packed and I got to say
(06:28):
it was very fast paced, and I said, holy shit,
this match is awesome with the exception and I think
I told you this. At one point you look like
your feet were moving a little too fast for you
and you had to reposition yourself at least once or twice.
And I said, outside of that, I said, you know,
I think I might have mentioned I said, keep your
eye on that, and then you got it. You'll be
(06:48):
fucking great. And I got to say that match was awesome,
So what's it like working And then I think, hold on,
I'm going to go back before. You also wrestle each
other over the summer at the Armada Brewing the summer
series they do the outdoors that are made of brewing.
This match was a little different because it had rained.
There was a little bit slippery miss on the on
the mat, so you guys went through a different approach.
(07:11):
It wasn't as fast paced, but it was very good.
So what what is it do you like working with Troy?
Has it working with Troy and he's a he's a professional,
like he's been around for a very long time.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
He is amazing to work with, Like I think my
first match with him is honestly still my favorite match
that I've wrestled so far. He like he guided me
through the whole thing. He's helped me a lot. He's like,
I don't like, we don't even need to talk about anything.
We literally our chemistry together, just we snap like bread
and butter. You know, we keep going and keep going.
(07:41):
Even if, like I slip up, he controls it and
it's like nothing even happened.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know. He's a phenomenal worker. He's trained me so much.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
He's taught me so much in the ring, and he's
also another mentor I love to have next to me.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, from there, I'm not trying to remember. I'm
trying to remember where you went from there because I
haven't caught a lot of the Summer series, and I
went to a few of them over the summer, but
my schedule is quite busy. The Summer series usually takes
place on Saturdays. My son had an acting class out
of state once a month, and sometimes they fall on
(08:14):
the same date, so I don't get to do a
lot of shows. But I know that you you not
so long ago. I think it's a month ago, maybe
a little bit over a month ago. You captured the
United States Championship from the Red Devil mooch. Look at
that beautiful belt there. That is a beautiful belt Paradise.
A lot of more thought into getting that belt. But
(08:36):
you know, you've been wrestling roughly what a little bit
over a year, like actually out in front of the crowd,
not even.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Out in front of a crowd next month, my one year.
So I haven't even had one year yet.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Nope, and you captured the belt already. So how does
that feel about you getting such the opportunity and then
winning that belt?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Shocking? I didn't expect.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I thought I always I had the confidence that I'd
win a belt eventually in my career, but I wanted
this early. I'm very grateful, very honored every day that
Roman Mario trusts me enough to have it. And I'm
super thankful. I like I didn't I didn't even know
I was gonna win the belt, like they surprised me.
(09:20):
I was super happy. I'm like, I'm honored. I was
thankful and now I'm defending it. You know what I'm
saying hopefully for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah. Yeah, you went down to uh, North Carolina for
the AIWF thirty three, thirty third anniversary event, and you
brought that belt with you. What was it like going
down now? Was that your first time out of state
or have you been traveling with you know, I know
that blood Soed brings a bunch of guys around. Have
you traveled with him prior?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So? This was my first time wrestling out of state ever,
and I haven't gone to anything in New England yet.
I've been waiting toning my skills, but this was my
first time going down and I was I was like
shocked to see how much different it is compared to
He was also my first promotion out of PAPW now
on the out of state, so I had a couple
of matches down there.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I showcased the belt.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I didn't win anything, but you know, I never got
tinned or anything, so I never I never got lost clean,
you know.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah. Yeah, Well, we got a lot of guys that
went down there that came back with gold which was
from PAPW, which is Corey and Nelly came back with
the AIWF World Tagney Championships which I mean, I thought
that was pretty exciting. I was supposed to be on
that trip, but of course, my life. I wouldn't say
(10:33):
my adulthood gotten away, family, I wouldn't say getting away
my were you were having that that launch show, the
Northeast show, and my wife ended up actually in the
emergency room that night, So I ended up having to
cancel everything, my whole part of that trip, which was
family first. That's always the number one priority with me.
But you know, there's always another time that I'd love
to come down there on or anywhere with you guys
(10:55):
and to go on like a weekend trip like that,
because it seemed like it was a really awesome time.
Bloodstell came out with the United States no excuse me,
the television championship uh In Kaizu, the Northeast of the
AAW Northeast show launched and he he beat Bloodsaw for
(11:15):
the the Atlantic championship. Excuse me, I'm drawing the blank. Het.
I knew we should have written this stuff down, but
you know, and then he went down there and he
tore shit up out in uh down in North Carolina
as well.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Yeah, I'm honestly so proud of all of them. Like
to see me kaizo. When he first started, he started
like I think we actually trained. He tried out on
the same day I did when we first started training.
And then he waited a couple months after to get
the money, you know, uh right, and then to see
him get all this is awesome man, Like I went.
(11:48):
I went right next to him and said, man, we're
both champions. You know, we started together and now we're
both champs. And then seeing Corey and Nelly go at it,
I mean they've been making so much fast Progrem Stanley
start training like maybe like just over a year ago,
and now there chances as well. They've been going through
the States with blood saw going at Nelly was on
(12:09):
you know, he was doing plant work for the WWE.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
You know, it's yeah, awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah. He had a hell of a weekend that weekend
because he was with you guys in North Carolina for
that big event and then came back and then drove
to Buffalo the same morning. He was there. He was
security on Monday Night Raw. He broke up the fight
between see Him Punk and and Seth Rollins, which you know,
the funny part about is mister Saban and I talked
(12:36):
just about every day. I didn't watch RAW that night.
I was gonna wait and watch it in the morning
because I forgot what I think. I got busy, and
he texted me saying, did you see what happened on
Monday night Raw? I'm like no. He's like, well, usually
if things are local, I look and see if there's
anybody I know. He goes, I didn't think in Buffalo
there'd be somebody I know. And then I was like,
(12:56):
Then he sent me a picture. He said, holy shit,
there's Nelly's standing right behind. I think it's wrong before
the fight broke out.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
It's like, honestly to see a whole roster getting this
much opportunity and all of us are getting out there,
just showing what Roma and Mancini taught into our brains
and see teaching.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It to everybody else. You know.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's yep.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
See, I'm very happy for everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, I mean those opportunities are gonna come to
you as well. You've got you know, you're getting out
there and now so you've also, like you said, you
worked at one match outside of state. Is there other
places out of state or anywhere else that you're looking to.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Get into anywhere.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Really one thing, I'm really I'm gonna try if the
Wrestling Open has another try out. Marburry's been like ask me, hey,
you should try out. When it happens, I'm like, I'll see.
Like you know, I've been I've been trying to put
on more muscle, so like I'm more TV ready, you know,
get more weight.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
On me because I'm I'm obviously not the biggest.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Very skinny guy. I noticed that you gotta put on
some weight there.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I've so funny thing I've started a wrestling When I
first started training, I was one thirty, so I was
even skinnier. But what I am now and I'm almost
one seventies, so I've packed up pounds but it doesn't
really look like much and some taller, so.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
You know, yeah the start, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
A couple of stakes will help like start getting in
that in that shape. So yeah, tell me about mister z.
I know you said you worked with him, and what's
it like working with him because his and what do
you think of his character because he's, uh, it's quite
the evil character.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
He's very vicious.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, his character is out of this world and no
pun intended, you know, he's he's very scary, you know,
and he's very strong with his slaps. I'll tell you
that his slaps are not the not the best to take.
But when I was in the ring with him, you know,
we worked awesome. He mean also that other chemistry thing,
like me and him worked very well together. I feel
(14:48):
like his character versus my character is really good because
it's like this positive guy kid going at it versus
this like vicious monster guy who nobody knows where he's
from your snipe mare, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, And I love I really dig the character. I'm
not I'm not typically into the dark characters. You know.
I'm very old school, you know what i mean. Put
me next to Mario and Paul, and I'm very like
just Bland, old school professional wrestling from the seventies or eighties.
It's and then it's like, but mister Z is another
(15:22):
one that grew on me. Like he's brutal, he screams
kind of he's just yeah, he does, he does. I
mean sometimes he might need not need to, but he does.
But it's very entertaining, you know what I mean. And
he doesn't he won't get me an interview because he
doesn't he doesn't want to come. Yeah, I don't know.
I think he's gonna kill me if he comes on
this podcast.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
But oh yeah, you know, I think he might just
through the screen. The amount of he shows this is
a little scary. You know, you might scare the crap out.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
If you saw many in Paradise. He scared the crap
out of at court backstage.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
On the Clipper. He goes, oh dude.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. I was fortunate to do commentary
for that show. And I actually found out about forty
five minutes before the show started. So I was still
in my house. I hadn't left. I was getting ready
to leave, and then I got a text, when are
you come in here? I said, I don't know, I'll
be there in a little while. It goes, well, we
(16:20):
have an extra person for the booth and we want
you in here. So I said, oh, I grabbed a
shirt and got in the car and made it there
ten minutes to spare.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But from where I live in Wallingford, Woodbridge is I
grew up in Woodridge around the corner from that building,
so I knew it very well. But it's from where
I am in Wallingford it's not that close, you know,
so it's typically a half an hour drive, but I
probably made their twenty five minutes driving so fast on
the highway. So yeah, I had a blast that night.
(16:49):
That was my official debut in Paradise Sally. I had
done like two matches in the past for like the
Diabetes of Benefits that they used to do, but this
was my first full show there, and I got to
say that I was completely honored to be a part
of the team and being sitting in the booth with
Big Daddy and of course my pal Kevin Saban, who
I get to We've done shows all over with each other,
(17:11):
so uh, and that he's always a fun one to
have in the in the booth with me.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah. So uh, let's see you have a very important
matchup tonight. As you mentioned, Jeremy's a big pain in
the ass, but he's been out in the in tearing it.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Up everywhere, literally everywhere all of you.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
When you see he's gone through Wrestling Federation of America.
He's I believe that he had a Wrestling Open tryout.
I think that he I'm trying to think of some
of the other ones that he's been to but he's uh,
now he's been a fight life a couple of times. Uh,
he's been pretty much everywhere in New England for the
most part. But he wants to challenge you for that
(17:50):
United States Championship. And if you saw on the YouTube
or exceed me on the Facebook video, he said you
were a terrible represent represented of the United States of
America and he attacked you from behind. Andy gave me,
mister Mancini a bunch of shit. So what's going on?
What is going to happen tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You know, tomorrow is the first time we're gonna see
one on one without him having a sneak attack or
any so to say, like secrets up his sleeve. You know,
it's just me and him. There's nothing he could do
against me. When it's just me and him, I can
get on him, beat him up, put my slice bread
onto him, count one, two three, get him out of here,
(18:34):
because he thinks he's representing the United States Championship.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
If you're hitting me from behind, come on, how is that?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I mean, that is kind of a low blow. That
is kind of cheesy to kind attack somebody from behind, right.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, he's low blowed me in a rumble before till
it make me. He's attacked me, behind, distracted me. He's
never beat me in a fair way. He always has
to have some sort of plot or scheme to beat me.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But tomorrow it ain't gonna be none of that.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
It's just gonna be Bosie and Bolt versus mister Lacroix,
old fashioned wrestling. That's hopefully I could keep representing the
United States in a good way and not in the
Jeremy way.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I mean, yeah, you're gonna walk out with that type.
Let me ask you that because I didn't get a
chance to ask you before. How did you come up
with the name of the Bosmian Bolt.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
So I always wanted to be something Bosnian, even though
I don't really I do speak it like not like
fluentibou understand it all, and I don't incorporate a lot
to my gimmick. But I've always wanted to be Like
when I was in school, everyone called me the BOSSI
and beast, but for wrestling, I can't really be called
that because I'm not too sixty inject, you know. So
Roma gave me the idea of like, send a couple
(19:42):
of words that start with bat and I came up
with bolt.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm like, that.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Fits me perfectly because I'm fast in the ring, high flyer.
So I'm I was like, you know what, Roma, do
you think this works? And Roma said, heck, yeah it does.
You got that kid, I'm like, thank you. He helped
me with that getting it.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
So yeah, Hey, he's helped a number of guys come
up with their gimmicks and stuff like that, and I
think that a lot of times, like they work, you
know what I mean? Yeah, I do have some more.
Did you play sports as a youngster prior to pro wrestling?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
So I was not the most athletic kid when I
was growing up until I was really short, believe it
or not. Until I was in my sophomore year of
high school when COVID hit it was all online. I
skyrocketed in height. I went from being like four foot
ten to six foot like in the year. And then
I started playing a lot of basketball. I started getting
like cardio fit wise. I wasn't muscle building yet, but
(20:36):
I was still moving a lot. And then I also
had the choices, Like I said, my senior year basketball
or like in college or wrestling, I said, I just
started I could start wrestling now and have a way
better career than I can with all the other things.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think what else you got
out there? What's coming up for the Bosnian Bowl besides
tomorrow night?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
So tomorrow night I got the match obviously, and then
for PAPW shows. I've been trying in talks with Pure
Vanguard Wrestling. They've been what the Nick Mitchell, the referee
from He's been asking me, and I've been I want
to go on. Of course, with the opportunity given, I'm
and now I'm gonna start traveling. I think next month
(21:22):
I'm going to West Virginia with Blood Saw, Corey and
Nelly and that's I don't remember the promotion what.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Was called, but we're going.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
He invited me and he said I took the essencely,
I'm like, yes, please, I want to go out. I
want to get out more so, I got a couple
of things coming up.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, here's another one. I don't think a lot of people.
I mentioned it once one other time on this show.
Off the show got canceled. I am also making my
Pure Vanguard debut at the next show, but I was
supposed to at the you know, but it got snowed out.
So so me and Kevin Saman are going to be
making our debuts together. I'm very excited for it because
(22:00):
it's a very good company. I don't know if you've
seen the videos at all, it's it's it's very good,
old school style wrestling. That's my bag. I love it
and uh, you know, it's it's going to be a
fun thing. And it's in Bristol, which I love that building.
Normally they're in Bristol. I should say my son used
to play basketball in that when he played aau ball
(22:20):
he always used to go. We always used to uh,
he played tournaments there and it was a lot of fun,
you know what I mean. It's a great building. It
looks beautiful for wrestling. I've worked several other promotions in
that building, So it's gonna be fun, you know. And
I think that seeing you at Pure Vanguard and seeing
you getting out there, I think, you know, seeing you
get out more would be a fun thing because I
think that you definitely have the potential to go out
(22:42):
there and do uh do just you know, working your
local promotion. But uh, you know, but I understand, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
No, I I think my goal for this year is
to try start getting out as many promotions as I
can now because Roma has been pushing me and manson, Hey,
like you should be starting to go out. I'm like yesterday,
So I've been had the go for it for a while,
but now like I'm confident enough with my body to
start showing myself way more out there.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, and showing the US title. You know what aw
I can do?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
You know, yeah? Absolutely. I mean there's also you know,
several other groups in Connecticut that that could probably use
you guys, like, you know, my home, my second home,
I should say Colosseum Pro Wrestling, which is I absolutely
love Colosseum Pro Wrestling, and you know, I'm always a
recommending talent man. You should try to come down there.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
At some point, I got to help out, you know,
come to it. I want to Dave like they've been like,
I don't know who asked me, but they've been like saying, hey,
you know, we want you over there. So hopefully good
enough I can help out and then get a spot
if if it.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Be, yeah, absolutely, Is there anything else you want to
throw out there before we wrap it up?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I want to shout shout out one specific person from
PAPW that's Sylvan aka Dan. He has mentored me not
only in wrestling. He literally gave me the idea for
my finisher. It gave me so many ideas and for
my promos and everything, but justin general as a huge
like my human being side outside of wrestling, just me.
(24:19):
He's really helped me grow my confidence, my mentality for everything,
and he's given me so much advice to just grow
as a person. And I really want to give them
a shout out out of everybody.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
And obviously my family.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
They give me the chance to not go to college
to do wrestling and they really fully support me.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
So that's awesome to have the support. A lot of
times people don't have the support and they think that
doing something such as concentrating on a wrestling or music
career or something like that is not a good idea.
But that's awesome to have the family support. And I
gotta give a shout. Let's go ahead with Sylvan as well.
Behind the character the real person of Dan, Sylvan is
(24:58):
one of the nicest and kindest human beings. He's the
complete opposite of his character. I know, I just let
that out here on this podcast. Is probably gonna kill me,
but you know, I.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Think he'll be fine with this this, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, he's a great guy and having a conversation with
him is always pleasurable. So yeah, so, uh, that's tomorrow night.
That's going to be what's it? What's today's day? It's
March fifteenth, the Paradise Alley Pro Wrestling Training Facility. Mare's
a the Bosnian Bolt taking on Jeremy Laquad. There's a
lot of great action going on tomorrow. So if you
(25:33):
guys get a chance, I want you all to come down.
It's a six sixty five co Avenue, Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I think ok?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Co Avenue. Sorry, I'm probably nixing the coliseum building up
six sixty two Co Avenue, East Haven, Connecticut. Everybody, come
on out and enjoy some professional wrestling. MASA. Why don't
