ROH’s Cheeseburger Reveals How He Got His Nickname
Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio recently interviewed Cheeseburger of ROH. You can see highlights below, and the full interview above.
Taking part in the ECWA Super 8 Tournament:
"Oh, I had a blast. That was definitely one of the things on my bucket list. I unfortunately lost in the first round to a great competitor, Anthony Greene. I've been wanting to have a singles match with him for a very long time. It was a wonderful experience just knowing the history of the tournament, getting to be a part of the opening ceremony and them talking about the previous winners. It was a great experience."
Other items on that bucket list:
"The list that I put out, there was like 1 or 2 things. I'm a big fan of wrestling tournaments. The Super 8 was one, the Young Lions cup for CHIKARA which I have done was another, King of Trios for CHIKARA is another one, CZW's Best of the Best, and the IWA Mid South TPI Tournament. That one is a big one on my list. Another is WXW in Germany has the 16 Carrot tournament that is really popular."
How Charlie Haas helped him be known as Cheeseburger:
"(laughs) Ah yes, absolutely. I actually just saw Charlie again recently. I had a show in Texas. It was good to see him again. He was at a Ring of Honor show in Baltimore in I believe 2013 – January of that year. I was doing ringside student duties like collecting streamers and stuff like that. He called me into the ring and started yelling at me on the mic. Cheeseburger was just a nickname I had and people that trained at the Ring of Honor school knew me as that. On the mic, he called me Cheeseburger and the people started chanting it. When I got to the back, they were like "We might have something here. Lets roll with it!""
