* Just a few notes, in the videos if you ever Gateway Champiosnhip Wrestling just imagine it says Galveston Championship Wrestling instead, in that time period it says ACE on his shirt and sky in the back, instead of MATT, anywhere you see Matt Sydal or Evan Bourne just imagine it says Ace Sky*
Ace Sky is in a confessional interview setting with Japanese media, showing this on television and online.
He's wearing a t shirt of the band Bowling For Soup, his jet black hair is in a modern man bun with the sides shaven. His speaking voice sounds very similar to a video game kid hero or anime kid hero with a southern, texan twang that comes out when he gets excited or angry.
Ace Sky:
I don't back down, ever. My dad growing up was a lot more of the archetype, stereotype geek and was much less attention-seeking than I am, I was never a jerk cause of my lack of size, I just knew I had to stick up for myself and my father installed that in me “ be big in action”.
I do have histrionic personality disorder, which makes you flirty, attention seeking. I have a very high IQ of 190 but my social intelligence was a bit shorter which matches my shorter stature. When I was three years old I became obsessed with pro wrestling and astronomy, I was going to be a pro wrestler and an astronaut, the former working out more. From four to 10 years old I went into soccer, gymnastics, Taekwondo and I was a black belt by 10 years old, went into amateur wrestling as well at 6, so by 10 I began backyard wrestling, which did not feed the hunger inside fully to be a true pro wrestler so by 13 with my Bar Mitzvah money plus doing chores and jobs around the neighborhood like tutoring and pool cleaning, I saved up to pay for wrestling school, which was Galveston Championship Wrestling’s school Texas Fight Zone and in 2 years by my 15th birthday I impressed the strict state athletic commission committee to license me pro 3 years under the standard legal age. It was a great place to start toughening me up for this business not just physically but the treatment
from veterans, I was not treated as a big deal at all, I was very much the black sheep, I parlayed my “ cheap opening act” in the business of the industry sense to sneak in the cracks and make my name, I was a scrappy lil o’l scrub, so I fought those guys.
For three years I was the local Texan teen prodigy wrestler, despite my ever-vast arsenal I have always been labeled the best high-flyer which I love, and I hate, labels lead to stereotypes and separating people into different boxes or types of things they are. For three years at GCW from
1998 to 2001 I wrestled in the southwest . Going from my hometown of Texas to Arkansas, Louisiana , Oklahoma and Utah, Damien and I became what we call in the industry “ married” to each other, he would drive , we would bond and get along well as civilized humans and in the ring, he became Locuro, the epitome of insanity and derangement, I was the valiant young prodigal hero who also has a hidden insanity.
By 2001 Locuro and I departed from GCW and we toured the Midwest: Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota , Wisconsin. In 2004, I had my first international tour in UK and Europe from October 16th to December 27th and was recruited to work in Japan for a couple niche cruiserweight/super junior based style federations , I had done it! I became a wrestler in Japan!
! I became a wrestler in Japan and I was the inaugural gaijin cruiserweight champion.
I really love Japan so much, the values of honor and politeness really meshed well with me, their government has bad views on drug use, that’s the only negative.
I had a few excursions back to America in 2006 and 2007 competing in the west coast. I had my first bout of narcissism I had one a regional cruiserweight championship when I left and I was a double cruiser champ , so I became a bit of a jerk but that didn’t last too long.
My name and reputation got so built up, major American federations wanted me by 25 , I’m very impressive yet there’s the size situation, that works in my favor in some ways though most of the time it is an uphill , constant battle. 25 years old, top of my game , now as I head into my thirties my body is breaking down, 10 years as a pro wrestler , 15 years counting my backyard days, 19 years as a wrestler in total if you count my amateur wrestling background, I had been using marijuana for medical purposes since my before my first UK-European tour, I had used it occasionally for recreation, mostly it was for the medical purpose, at first when I got popped constantly so I would pay it off as a cut from my pay , unfortunately that kind of stuff gets leaked to dirt sheets and news sites and these federations don’t want the hassle, especially when their way of promoting and advertising someone like me is as a family friendly wholesome clean cut hero. I understand I could pull off that look, really the best way to describe what I was at that point was the guy a girl would bring home to her parents and impress the hell out of: high IQ, professional athlete-combat-entertainer, Texan generosity, and manners but on the flip side of that I want to get high sometimes or drop acid and get introspective, all groovy into the universe. I just can’t fit into this white-bread kid friendly hero thing. What I do is not bad or deviant , it’s something you can’t show or explain with nuance on TV between commercials for boner pills and pizza, I have three to seven minutes of TV time all I can do is only part of my skillset , the aerial awesomeness. I built a good reputation where my peers would want me in the main event spotlight, wrestlers in that area pushed for me despite my size to get the office/business side of it for me but with my torn rotator cuff and my right leg that has always had minor issues and the drug test failing. It was a constant problem of my inferiority complexes , the mental inner turmoil of being injured in your prime,
On my 29th birthday, I got in a minor motorcycle accident and that destroyed my foot. It will never be the same, same right leg/ foot that always plagued me my whole career. My foot hurts, yes. I can still wrestle only, because I’m demented, this is a sickness, all pro wrestlers have it, your intense passion makes you destroy yourself for the personal value of being the best at this odd craft of pro wrestling, that you pour your heart and soul into this obsession.
I took a sabbatical from wrestling, went to the Peruvian jungle, got spiritually rejuvenated, plant medicines all legally prescribed by monks.
The catch with these psychedelics they make you realize your true goal in life, what your real life passions are, MMA fighters had taken it and realized they were actual pacifists, I knew there was that chance I could lose pro wrestling as an interest and I was fine with that, 15 years as a wrestler, now I get spend the next 15 imy 30’s as a “ normal” civilian-citizen, maybe run a yoga studio. That did not happen luckily, the spiritual rebirth increased my obsession with wrestling by tenfold and now for the past decade I have been this new side of myself unleashed, with better confidence and a message to spread that pro wrestling is an artform, it is as sacred as any form of martial arts, the past 20-year generation of wrestlers I came up with, we revolutionized this industry and subvert the stereotypes and cliches .
This is what a wrestler looks, like today( points to self), you can put me in any iteration , point of history this business through a time machine and I can hang as one of the elites. I consider myself a humble guy still , back before my enlightenment I was an overly humble guy, considered it to be normal, respect and humility is built into this business, especially in places like Japan however I was using humility to hide my fear of being good, it’s easy to be humble but it’s DISHONEST if you want to be better than that. If you’re acting humble but you really want to be number one, I was always “ oh I’ll try to be this.” I literally, figuratively and basically removed “ try.” New Years resolution’s always drive me crazy as a concept, “ we’re going to start then.” DON’T start then! Just start now! If you don’t do it now, cause when you get then that will be now and you will make the same decision.
I have always been like this man, I have been bouncing off my bedroom walls since I was a hecka’ small, I’m never going to stop doing this.
In that ring I am not just a vivacious vicious veteran virtuoso, I am a wild man with wits to match my grit. There are these sensations in my heart, deep in my soul that explode out as I am not just a terrific technician, I am a maestro of the mat and sky, a warrior shaman- magician of the matrix, who is solar, galactic, and fantastic. Everything I say, people will tell you themselves. I’ve never been a big promo guy; I will admit that I can do it now better because I know myself now
I will of course talk about my opponent, my biggest enemy is myself, my main issue is self-sabotage, I have to literally beat my opponents , the main crux of what I am dealing with currently is not burning the candle at both ends, I have being doing that lately and I’m fucking melting.

On Adrian Beaufort
My opponent, her name is Adrian Beaufort, she’s a martial artist as well, we share a lot of the same values, perspectives, beliefs. We differ in
age, generation, and experience which is all under the same umbrella I suppose; yet we have a kinship , we get along well.
I do not mind intergender wrestling most people against it are sexist while trying to be the opposite, they view women as the weaker sex. Is there advantages and disadvantages due to certain biological science yes of course , however we as pro wrestlers spent our livelihood clashing against what an average person should be able to do, we are not super-human, we were not born with rubber necks, we face the same medical hazards as everyone, we have built the callouses over the years to do stuff that would snap most human necks, it is discipline, purely and truly which as martial artists we both have in our core.
