10 Things We Learned From Speaking To Eli Drake
7. Eli Drake, Stock Market Guru
With the entire planet on some form of lockdown, you may wonder how those wrestlers who aren't able to compete right now are keeping busy. For Eli Drake, he's a busy man in the world of stocks and shares.
Revealing how he hits the stock market each and every morning, Eli told us, "One of the mixed blessings of me getting fired from Impact last year, was me discovering that I need something else. I think it's good, in the practice or idea of being a successful businessman, to have different income sources. I've learnt and taught myself, took courses on how to trade on the stock market. I get up every day at 6:30am for when the markets open. I've learnt technical analysis, reading charts and probabilities, and stuff like that. I do a lot of that stuff in the morning."
Away from the stock market, Drake has been busy and completely hands-on with The Eli Drake Show - his new podcast venture that lands weekly on the NWA's YouTube channel and on various podcast platforms.
In addition to designing his own wrestling merch (PWTees is your friend!), working out at home, he even managed to land a "pretty decent" acting part just before lockdown came into force - although he's unable to announce just yet what that acting gig is.
