How did you get the name BEAST?

My mother gave it to me as a child. I started boxing when I was 5yr old, martial arts when I was 8yr old, and ammeter wrestling when I was 10yr old. During every fight my mother would yell out “be The Beast” to remind me to fight harder.

What did you do before wrestling?

I was a professional body guard for top listed celebrities with a company called “Universal Solders”. I also was a prize fighter in box, kick-box, and NHB (No Holds Bare)

How did you get into pro wrestling?

Some of my boys saw a show called tough enough on MTV and said I would kick ass on the show. So I tried out made the show in Las Vegas, but there was some confusion with my blood so I didn’t go on the show. I was replaced by some guy named Dan.

How did you get into WWE?

Dr.Tom Prichard from the WWE contacted me and said they were interested in hiring me, but I needed to get my skills up. Some of the guys that body guarded with me used to be in WCW (Swole, Chase Tatum, & 4×4 with the No Limit Soldiers) introduced me to Sargent Dwayne Bruce. So I trained with sarge from WCW power plant for 6 month and then when for a tryout for the WWE in OVW. WWE thought I had potential so they sent me to OVW to train were I learned the bulk of my wrestling knowledge and training. For more Q and A with Shad go to his Myspace
