Moose can pinpoint the moment he fell in love with the pro wrestling business.
Moose recently spoke with Joey G at Wrestling Headlines and talked about how Ric Flair was the wrestler that hooked him on the business. Moose explained how he saw Flair win the 1992 Royal Rumble (and the WWF Championship) and he’s been in love with wrestling since then.
“First guy I have to mention is Ric Flair because it’s the first time I ever watched professional wrestling. I was eight years old and I was just flipping through the channel and I saw wrestling, and I was like, what is this? What is all these guys in boots and underwear? What is this about? I saw Ric Flair, I think it was in 1992 Royal Rumble, and he actually won it. And the winner of the Royal Rumble got the world title, he won it. And ever since that day I fell in love with professional wrestling. I fell in love with Ric Flair. So I couldn’t name anyone without first starting off with Flair cause he’s the one that ultimately got me into professional wrestling.”
Moose also revealed that he was a fan of Razor Ramon and ‘Sycho’ Sid, among others. He noted that Sid wasn’t the best wrestler, but his look and attitude really helped him prolong his career.
“Another guy that I have to name is Razor Ramon. One of my all-time favorites. He should have been a world champion, the biggest champion he ever won was the I.C. Championship. He was definitely world champion material I don’t understand how he never won one. Then you got guys like Brock Lesnar, Triple H, Psycho Sid. I was a huge Sycho Sid fan. Watching him over…I was a humongous Sycho Sid fan but if you watch him now he wasn’t really that good in the ring, but his demeanor and his presence and his facials…you could learn so much from those things. So big shout out to him. Huge fan of his. I was just a huge fan of wrestling. I remember I loved everyone, but those four guys I’ve mentioned were the big four who did it for me.”
