today my guest comes from North Carolina,USA
Please welcome Daniel Moses also known as The Cyclone
Hello Daniel,thank you for this interview.
Thank you for having me, I am so honored to be here.
Can you please tell the fans who you are?
My name is Daniel Moses I am from the small town of Casar North Carolina in the USA & I wrestle as The Cyclone, I love wrestling & I would love to buy each of you a cup of coffee.
Daniel how do you come to the decision to be a Pro wrestler?
My mother & father were wrestling fans & so was I, we would watch the matches on tv & go watch them when they came near our town. Then in the late 1980's my cousin Will Bradshaw wrestled in the independent wrestling promotions of North Carolina, then he was trained by wrestling legend Nikita Kollof in 1987. It was after high school that I wanted to be a wrestler when my cousin Will wanted to get back in the sport.
You call yourself The Cyclone. Is there a story behind the Name?
Yes there is, my trainer said I should wear a mask (I thought he was saying I was ugly) & my freind James had the idea that ACW should have a masked wrestler called the Blue Cyclone from the classic Ray Stevens song "Ballad of The Blue Cyclone".
Daniel you started your pro-wrestling career in 2002.Who was your trainer in this time?
My cousin Will Bradshaw
And can you tell us something about the training?
It was the hardest training I had ever done, I had to run from Will's house to the training area, then set up the ring, do pushups, setups, then more running & then the wrestling training began. I was so glad when the first day of training was over.
Do you remember your first match and what was it like to wrestle in front of live crowd
for the first time?
Yes I do it was on March 11th 2002 I was in the first match against a man named "Slim" Jim Bolin. He hit me with a can of soda almost knocked me out then pinned me. There were around 200 in the crowd, it was very scary & I did not have a mask.
When i look at your Facebookside i see that you are a religious man. What means God for
you?
God is my everything, He is a second chance & hope for everyone. He gave me a second chance when I got to the breaking point in my life, I was loosing everything & I was angry & felt like there was nothing I could do, but I gave up & said "God I can not do this any more please take control of my life, I give it all to you" at that moment everything changed for me, God had mercy & changed me into who I am now. I use my wrestling career to witness to people about the love of Jesus Christ, about redemption, reconciliation, & salvation.
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever beleive in him should not parish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)
"The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord" (Romans 6:23)
When you get inside the Ring what is your Favorite Rule,Heel or Face?And why?
Face, I love to hear the crowd cheer for me & after the events the fans are more willing to come talk to you if you are a good guy.
You wrestle US Indypendent but Is WWE or TNA an Aim for you? And which Promotion is your
Favorite?
I do not see myself in WWE or TNA, I love where I am at & there are so many wrestlers that are more talented than I am that are wanting in WWE & TNA. WWE & TNA most of the time are very indecent, obscene, lewd & vulgar. My favorite promotion is my home promotion Appalachian Championship Wrestling.
When you look in the future is there anything you want to do in wrestling or a match you
are dreaming for or a country you will loved to wrestle for?
In the future I would love to wrestle in other countries mainly in Europe like Germany & England where wrestling is a strong sport & many great wrestlers have come from. It would be a chance for me to tell more people about Christ Jesus, my mission comes from the Holy Bible (& He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes & is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned (Mark 16:15-16)
And when you look at your time in Wrestling the last 9 years what was your personal
highlight inside the ring?
I was in the ring with 1980's superstar Ricky Morton from the Rock-N-roll express, I poked him in the eyes !!!
And what will be your worst nightmare inside the ring? Being paralyzed
And what do you Daniel when you not stands in the ring?
Outside of wrestling I am very involved with the church, working with kids. I like to fish, hunt, & play video games.
Now,when a promotion read this and want to book you for a show,where can they contact
you? I am on Facebook.com & I have a website http://www.thecyclone.8m.com
At the last something to say to your fans ? Thank you to everyone for standing behind a poor boy who had a chance to live his dream & become The Cyclone, love me or hate me the fans make me what I am. Thank you & God bless all of you.
Thank you being my guest and i hope we see you sometimes in a german ring. Thank you for having me, I am very honored to be here. It would be a great honor for me to wrestle in Germany. Thank you again & God bless you. Wrestlingjunkies.de is wunderbar !!!
