Before taking the plunge and going full time as a professional wrestler, Bennett worked for Venn Group in London, managing a team of five staff. Venn are a top flight recruitment firm specialising in contract workers in the public and private sector. If youre a big corporation and one of your indispensable employees has headed out on maternity leave or been signed off on long term sickness leave, Venn are the people you contact to provide the perfect candidate to fulfill your temporary requirements. At least, thats the spiel they sell themselves under. Bennetts role was to lead a team engaged in persuading big business to made that call to Venn, rather than any one of a hundred other UK firms who might be able to assist them. Anyone whos ever worked in recruitment knows that, like the law, its not a job for people who just want to work nine to give. Bennett would regularly find himself working a sixty or seventy hour week in the job, and the management aspect must have created its own kind of special hellish stress on top of that. To do a job like that, and do it well, when your real passion lies elsewhere and when youre engaging in that passion in what little free time you have outside of work and sleep that takes a special kind of commitment to excellence, and would stand him in excellent stead for the bludgeoning schedule of a WWE Superstar. But then no one could ever accuse pro wrestlers of being lazy people.
