So, I had the WWE stuff, and then I guess I had my name brought up with some other places but it was one of those things where I didn\u2019t have the indie name value yet. I didn\u2019t have the audience for someone to be able to say, \u2018Alright, let me pick you up, put you on TV and you\u2019re gonna already have a buzz following.\u2019 At least that\u2019s what I assumed. But it never materialized into anything serious there and then I got contacted by MLW. They said they\u2019d come across one of my videos and they were really interested so from then on, we signed a contract back in May and it was just one of those things where I had to keep it hush-hush, until they were ready to announce it. That\u2019s difficult to do. Like we were talking about [earlier], I\u2019ve been a wrestling fan since I was three-years old so, to be able to say I was gonna live the dream and actually get to wrestle on TV, I kinda had to be quiet and not tell anyone for two-and-a-half months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Tankman on partaking in WWE&#8217;s tryout in December 2019 and how demanding it was:<\/b> &#8220;I was in there with a guy that was a bodyguard for Drake, with another female that I think she had an NCAA record in like 100 meter dash or 400 meter dash or something like that. She has an NCAA record. We had \u2018Ill\u2019 Will Brooks, championship-level Bellator fighter and these people are struggling with this workout. So, to say that it\u2019s [trying]? That\u2019s an understatement. When you have the elite of the elite and they are struggling, then you know you\u2019ve done something that\u2019s challenging, and one of the first things William Regal said to us is that he\u2019s never had to do any of this stuff for a job and he \u2014 basically, he wouldn\u2019t have been able to do the things they ask you to do at the tryout. They really push you, whether it\u2019s [an] unprompted promo, randomly that you didn\u2019t know you have to do or from weightlifting to multiple sessions in the ring for hours at a time. We would have to be dressed and ready in the P.C., ready to go, dressed at 9 AM and we didn\u2019t leave until after 6 PM, and we just had an hour break for lunch. Those three or four days, we were hustling and so like, by that third day, you\u2019re hardly getting out of bed. It\u2019s a struggle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On his experiences with racism in wrestling:<\/b> \u201cOne of my first matches, I had a fan tell me to go eat another bucket of fried chicken. Now, I was a heel. I ain\u2019t saying that\u2019s cool but I\u2019m saying I wasn\u2019t antagonizing him, he was ignorant and the fact [is] he shouldn\u2019t have said it. But it\u2019s one of those things, that was literally one of my first three matches. So I was trying to be a heel and I was yelling at him and he said that back and it stopped me. It was one of those things where I was like, \u2018Wait, he really just said that?\u2019 It took me out of everything, and then I\u2019ve had someone call me a monkey. These are fans too. These aren\u2019t even workers. It\u2019s kinda like you\u2019re being childish. You ain\u2019t got nothing else to say to contribute to the conversation or you get caught being wrong or something. You can\u2019t talk your way out of it so instead you just try and end the conversation by insulting the other person and trying to hurt them. In reality, you just make yourself look ignorant. That\u2019s the thing that always comes to my mind. For you to do that type of thing, it\u2019s just ignorant, but that goes for anywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2-Ei8f6_7pA\" width=\"560\"
