Barret shares stories of training with Cody Cunningham, “Killer” Tim Brooks, and “Cowboy” Johnny Mantell at just 15 years of age, honing his skills in the Dallas-Fort Worth scene and the many other places his talented has taken him, and what its like to the current NWA jr. Heaveyweight Champion.
Barrett has attended numerous seminars, wrestled a “who’s who” of names in the business, and wrestled at a number of the top Professional Wrestling companies in the world, including competing against Braun Strowman in a losing effort on Monday Night RAW in Houston, Texas in 2016, and working security at RAW in San Antonio in 2018 to be put through a table by Strowman.
