Welcome to another edition of the No Punches Pulled interview series. In this edition, it's a young man who debuted earlier this year in NYWC Braydon Knight.
RL: Were you a wrestling fan growing up?
BK: Yes. I grew up during WWE's Attitude era. How could you not be a fan that time?
RL: When did you decide "I'm going to be a wrestler"?
BK: I was 18 when the idea first came into my head. I looked up local wrestling schools but came across arena football tryouts. So I decided to go that route for a few years. It wasn't until last year when I was 24 that I finally decided I wanted to be a wrestler.
RL: How did you discover the NYWC academy?
BK: I was browsing the internet for local wrestling schools.
RL: How tough was the training?

RL: What are your memories of your debut match against Blake Morris?
