When did you know that you wanted to dedicate yourself to this?
«After Jeff Hardy, I discovered Japanese wrestling And I saw Jushin Liger and Prince Devitt. I thought they were the most great. Then I discovered Kenny Omega, and there I became completely a fan. I became obsessed and started looking for all possible NJPW fights online.

And the last meal is meat and sweet potatoes again ».
