Comments:
He’s got
a fantastic look; and to many who see him train it’s truly
hard to believe that he is only 19 years old.
What they don’t know is that such amazing physical
rewards gained so early in life are the result of “Big”
Chris Mordetzky’s total and typical dedication to
excellence; a non-stop drive that has propelled him into the
gym three hours daily for five straight years and now onto
center stage as one of the hottest new UPW prospects.
“I came
here originally several years ago when I wanted to really
get serious about entering the pro business but after
several months I realized I was not ready physically to
deserve the push that some guys get who train here.”
So it was back to the weights to gain the total
package he felt would propel him forward; and such fanatical
intensity is already providing him great rewards.
Growing up
originally with a single mom in suburban L.A.’s Santa
Monica, Chris recalls that this decision to make it to the
wrestling big leagues has been developing slowly but surely
ever since his days in middle school when he and his buddy
WWF fanatics “would go around during lunch or nutrition
breaks throwing each other into the lockers and do sneak
attacks with our back packs that just drove our teachers
nuts.”
While
recruited heavily by the school’s football coach because
of his already impressive size and strength, Mordetzky had
other ideas and from age 15 his life career quest began in
deep earnest as he would work after-school jobs from 3 to 9
and then head for the gym till midnight.
All part of his eventual plan…a plan to look great
someday and eventually perform wrestling moves in an even
more impressive fashion.
Spending
the late evenings now as a bouncer when not working out or
decisively slamming his training opponent in the R1 Center
ring, the intense drives that have brought Big Chris to the
edge of notoriety seem certain to continue; and it seems
only a matter of time till Galaxy audiences will have to
stop and also take serious notice of this amazing and
already intimidating young pro wrestling phenom.
