My ultimate goal in Power Slap is to get the belt!

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?

It’s a long list, but I’d probably say when I got an assault on an officer charge and spent a couple weeks in jail.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever done?

Best thing was probably when I got accepted into the sprinkler fitters local and switched careers.

There isn’t anyone in particular I want to slap against; whoever stands in my way to the top can get it.
