Welcome to another edition of the No Punches Pulled interview series. Up this time is on half of the current NYWC tag team champions Shillelagh Hitmen Fighting Jack Morrisey.
RL: Were you a wrestling fan growing up?
FJM: 100% I was a big fan growing up. It was right around Wrestlemania 20. I started watching and I was hooked immediately.
RL: When did you decide you were going to give wrestling a shot?
FJM: After Wrestlemania 34, Clutch Campbell & I went to a after party event Kaiju Big Battle was. While there, Clutch got talking to Trent about wanting to be a pro wrestler and Trent said start training now and put over NYWC school. Less than two months later, we were both students.
RL: How did you find about the NYWC academy?
FJM: I ways knew it existed but Trent is the one who sold ot to me as a possibility.
RL: How tough was training?
FJM: Tough, I've seen many come and go. Wrestling training is not to be taken lightly. The trainers have been no joke. From when I started with Bull James, Rex Lawless and Crusher Doogan, to now with Mike Mondo & Michael Mistretta. They won't accept bad wrestling.
RL: What were your initial impressions of Mikey Whipwreck?
FJM: Intimidating. When I met him for the first time, I could barely get two words out. I mean that's Mikey Freaking Whipwreck. The amount of wrestling knowledge that man has is astounding and I was honored to share a locker room with him.

RL: What are your memories of Tinder Tom?
FJM: I tagged him with one time at Basebrawl when I was greener than green could be against my future tag team partner Iri$h & COTA(RIP). The match was definitely something and of it ever sees the light of day.......well let's hope it doesn't.
RL: What are your memories of your match with Boo Sullivan?
FJM: Deep track, my first match on a main NYWC show. To say I was nervous is an understatement. But Crusher helped calm my nerves and we got through it.
RL: What are your memories of Rex Lawless?
FJM: Rex was my first trainer and my first ever match in pro wrestling. I don't think he gets enough credit. He's vastly underrated as a wrestlerand he's one of the most genuine people I've ever met.
RL: What are your memories of your match with JT Kasin?
FJM: I mean I've tagged with him, against him one on one and was cuffed in a cage with him. Incan't seem to stop wrestling Kasin. But he was instrumental to finding my confidence in the ring.

RL:How did you & Setanta Furey as a team come about?
FJM: I'm Irish American. He's Irish and in America. It's like Reese's put peanut butter & chocolate together. It just makes sense.
RL: What are your memories of Cuffed & Caged match at Going The Distance?
FJM: That was my first high profile match at the time and I think it was the best match I've had yet. Everyone gave their all, and I think it shows. Nothing but love and respect to the guys I got in there with. I'll tie up with yall any day.
RL: What are your memories of Michael Mistretta?
FJM: Nobody's Betta

RL: What are your memories of match with Jorge La Bestia & Jordan Reddington in Patchogue?
FJM: I think we had it if Milk Chocolate didn't interfere. I'd like to do it again and find out what if. But I think Jorge & Jordan are having problems so who knows of we'll ever get that chance.
RL: What are your memories of The Slimeballz?
FJM: I mean they said we are a fluke team, then we beat them. They said we'd never beat Milk Chocolate and there's two belts around our waists that say otherwise. If they want to step up again the offer is always there. Setanta and I will take on all comers.
RL: What are your memories of the 4 way tag team match at Till I Collapse back in September?
FJM: I think you have dates mixed up. There was a fatal 4 way match at House Of Madness for #1 contenders but Setanta and I had bigger things on our plate at the time.
RL: I did have the dates mixed up. What are your memories of the match with Milk Chocolate winning the NYWC tag team title?
FJM: To say it was humbling is an understatement. It's not often that I'm nervous before a match, but I'll be honest I was shaking in my boots. Randy & Brandon are true pros and working them for the titles was an honor.

RL: What are your memories of "Cause Of It All" Joey Conway?
FJM: I've never gone one on one with Joey Conway on a show, but it's on my list of things I want to do. Maybe in NYWC if he finds himself a partner or maybe in EAW if he wants to put his gold on the line.
RL: What are your memories of Aiden Baal,
FJM: Tagging with Aiden at Cuffed & Caged was a blast. Aiden is one tough mother fucker. I'm glad he was on our side.

RL: What are your memories of Dirty Deedz?
FJM: We've worked with them a million times. Two guys that can take us to the limit and there's still some unfinished business there. Who knows when we will get the chance.
RL: What are your memories of The Specialists?
FJM:Never got in the ring with them but picking Sal to mentor them was a mistake. Sal's in it for himself. If The Specialists think Sal cares for them, they are in for a rude awakening.
