Conversations With Love 68: A Conversation With Shaun Moore
Highlights:
Developing his style of wrestling:
“I’m a student of the game. I watch all styles of wrestling, all styles of mixed martial arts. I’m very technical. I like to break down moves, I like to break down scenarios, and I like to focus on small things (and) different aspects of each person’s game no matter who I’m in the ring with. I really focus on the technical aspect of it.”
“I did amateur wrestling in high school and university, I was a black belt in tang soo do martial arts when I was a kid, when I was living in England. I’ve played various sports like football, soccer, track-and-field, that kind of stuff. I guess I’ve been into sports and athletics pretty much my entire life.”
His ideal country to work in:
“My dream has always been to go wrestle in Japan (and) be in the Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Anybody that knows me personally knows that’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I want the t-shirt and (to) pose by the trophy. I’ve wanted to do that since I was 14 years old, so that’s a big deal for me. I also want the opportunity to go back and wrestle in England, (because) that’s where I’m from. There wasn’t much wrestling when I was a kid, so the ability to go back to England and return home and (have) nobody know who I am would be really good.”
