CallosProfessional Wrestling rookie Callos is looking forward to the biggest opportunity of his short career, Wrestling with Hunger!

Callos’s professional wrestling career is just getting started as he has been training for just over a year now.  This event is really something special and he knows it. “You can see people in need everyday and people can do all sorts of things for them. This is our way of giving something back by doing what we love and enjoy.”

Everyone around Callos is really supportive, and boy does he appreciate it. “My friends and family are behind me on this. I’ve even visited my old high school to talk to the Principal about advertising for this event. They all seem to enjoy the idea of it.”

Giving back to the community is something Callos is very grateful he has a chance to do. “Everyone should try to give back what they can to the community. Not everyone can be privileged enough to have basic necessities that most of us do and take for granted. Some days I find myself buying extra food for some people on the street cause that’s what they need the most.”

Five Questions with Callos

Q: Why they are taking part in Wrestling for Hunger?
A: Three days of wrestling, how could you turn that down? Plus a world record and the chance to help people out. You put those three things together and I don’t know any other way I would like to spend my time. I’m in the gym a couple hours in the morning, doing more cardio workouts as well. It’s not an easy task wrestling for this long and without upping the training sessions I wouldn’t see how it would be possible.

Q: What your best match? How about most memorable?
A: Best Match I would have to say is Nicole Matthews for the SuperGirls Title. We just clicked really well I thought and the crowd reaction was great. Most Memorable would have to be against Scotty Mac round two. To get the chance to stand across the ring with the NWA Canadian Heavyweight Champion and last over 5 minutes with him was something special. Plus I had a few 2 counts in there.

Q: What is your biggest rival and describe your history with him?
A: Azeem the Dream. It seems wherever I go this guy is running his mouth about me saying how great he is and he beat me before I knew it. Yet he continues to just stand outside the ring and watch me. Maybe one day he will find the guts to get in the ring and face me.

Q: Why did you get into wrestling?
A: I got into amateur wrestling in high school and ended up injuring myself for a couple months and during that time I was channel surfing and came across a John Cena vs. Eddie Guerrero on Smackdown! and since that one match I’ve been hooked ever since.

Q: What do you wish to achieve in the next 12 months in your wrestling career?
A: Well one is to get bigger. I’m slower getting there but there is still a long way to go and in 12 months hopefully I’ll be big enough that people will stop looking past me. Continue to be a small pain in the butts of Azeem and Scotty Mac. Hey maybe I’ll even wrestle the Prophet for that Slam Academy title of his. But anything can happen in a year so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
