Fans may remember Sinn Bodhi as Kizarny in WWE, a short-lived gimmick in 2008-09 where he spoke "carny" in his promos.
Bodhi went on to have a run throughout the independent scene after his WWE career ended in 2009.
He is now the booker for Dana White's Power Slap, a league where you slap your opponent in the face in hopes of knocking them out.
Speaking to Chris Jericho on Talk is Jericho, Bodhi explained how Power Slap is just as safe as pro wrestling.
"It's pure competition. It's a cool deal. I was so surprised, I'm not going to bury anybody, but it was so interesting to me, during the course of many conversations in the last couple of weeks; who is a sissy and who wasn't. It was so amusing to me. I just saw a clip of, I think it was Raquel Rodriguez smacking two girls backstage. She hauled off and unloaded. [Jimmy] Uso swatting Gunther, he swung for the fences. It's nothing you wouldn't do in a match or some pre-taped. I've seen Stephanie McMahon haul off and clobber a wrestler. When you leave your house, wrestling or otherwise, there is a reasonable expectation of danger. If you can take bodyslams and piledrivers and catching dives, I don't see what is more dangerous about this. Guys are blowing out their back, knees, this that and the other to follow their dreams. I get it, I'm a pro wrestler, and I've had naysayers from the very beginning. With this, 'what if I get hurt.' What if you leave your house and a meteor hits you or you get hit by a bus or cancer. Live your life. Don't be bubble boy. It's mostly dudes. It's more the guys that were a little antsy," said Bodhi.
