Do you get the opportunity to attend many live shows, and if so, do you have any favourite matches or moments?

"I've been able to attend some UK television tapings and seen TNA live when they've toured over here, but the best would have to be when I went to WrestleMania 29 in New York/New Jersey.

It was luck really, we were on tour or doing something over there at the time and it just fell around WrestleMania.

It was a big show and had Cena/Rock 2 in the main event, but the best match there was definitely The Undertaker vs CM Punk. That's probably the best match or wrestling thing I've ever seen live.

I was actually with my wife at the show, and though she's not a big fan, even she was into it. I think she only came along because it was an excuse for a trip to New York, but she just had to put up with a massive day wrestling as well!"
