Tommaso Ciampa On The Beginning Of His Wrestling Career: I Found A Way To Get My Foot In The Door And Then Once I Did, I Just Never Got Out

Tommaso Ciampa discusses the beginning of his professional wrestling career and how he grew into the sport.

The way a pro wrestler gets into the sport can range from a litany of ways of entering the industry, including lifelong fans as well as talent who transitioned from another sport and more.

While speaking to 9News in a new interview, Tommaso Ciampa was asked about the beginnings of his professional wrestling career.

“The bug bit me real young, you know, since I was, you know, my earliest memories, four or five, playing with the figures. A lot of kids grow out of it, and I just kind of grew into it and just dug my heels in. Luckily too, I came from, I grew up in Boston. Killer Kowalski’s school was only about a half hour from my house. So I had the benefit of seeing independent wrestlers around and seeing them at the gym and stuff as I got into age 16, 17, 18. So I found a way to get my foot in the door, and then once I did, I just never got out.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Ciampa spoke about the live AEW show experience. You can read more about that here.
