About Me:
Typically found beside the 500-pound mastadon Big Daddy V, I'm often preaching and singing the praises of The Dominating Force in WWE.
I seemed destined to work for the New York City Board of Education until retirement age. But, while I loved the opportunity to reach young people in the classroom, I remained enamored with professional wrestling.
So, in my spare time, I began to train for the mat with a television mainstay of my childhood: the unpredictable Johnny Rodz, a WWE Hall of Famer who ran a wrestling school out of Gleason's Gym, beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
Soon, I was wrestling for various small promotions while still meeting expenses as a teacher. Filling in for a teacher on maternity leave at a Long Island middle school, I noticed one student eying me with curiosity.
After a while, my nocturnal profession became a topic of discussion in class. I used that to discuss goals and motivate my students. I took that approach with me to Cardozo High School in the fall of 2004.
Then, in December, I had a chance to go overseas to wrestle. I called in sick to free up the necessary time. There were no repercussions until I appeared in the Angle Invitational on RAW. In Queens, my students instantly recognized their teacher. It didn't take long for students and teachers to figure out that I'd been in Japan when I was supposedly ill.
It began a furor that resulted in national media coverage and my forced resignation from my teaching job. The exposure, however, thrust me into the national spotlight and launched me WWE and ECW career.
