4. Who do you enjoy watching in the ring the most?
That's tough...I just enjoy great wrestling. Some of my favorites have been watching the people making their debuts at Homecoming and the faces on the fans from the ring (the kids) when I am welcoming everyone to the show.

5. What is your favorite match you've seen in your time with OVW?
There are a few...there was the (Michael) Hayes/Ali (Vaez) cage match, any match with Silvio, Raphael Constantine, the stars at OVW all do a great job.

Terry- Big fan of your work. If there was one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?
ReplyDeleteI contacted Terry and he said the only thing he wishes was different would be to have his parents see him at a show. His parents have both gone "home" and his father was the one who got him hooked on wrestling. He feels them with him at every show.
