1. Welcome to TheBritishWrestlingRevivalBlog Senza, thanks for taking time out to do this interview, First of all could you introduce yourself to the readers ??

My name is Senza Volto the French Senzation , I am 23 years old and I live in Paris. I have had the chance to work with a lot of promotions in different countries (10 currently).

2. First of all let’s speak about getting into wrestling, did you always watch wrestling growing up or was it a later thing and who would you say inspired you to start training??

Today, i considers that the Wrestling is defined in two steps in my life. The first was the time where i was fan, i was looking as soon as possible matches on television and later by internet. At beginning i was very attracted by the entertainment side, later the Indy scene was a little bit more attractive . Then this second part where i have decided myself to become a wrestler, from this moment you don’t’ see things of the same way than before . But of course like everyone , when you make your first steps into a ring you imagine yourself doing make some crazy spots like your idols a few years ago .

3. Continuing on with getting into wrestling, how did you get involved in wrestling training, who trained you and how would you rate that experience ??

The decision was from me. I stopped being a fan when I asked to myself, why not me?. I was always in good shape and i knew that i’d have the capacity for succeed. Then i went to a wrestling school in Paris where i have learned how to bump. Then some seminars and i had quickly the chance to go on the road all weekends first in France then everywhere else in Europe ! In our country it’s really difficult to find a good coach but I have got good memories of my first training, touching the ring, running the ropes, imagining the crowd around me,that was a very good feeling , this fire inside my heart ready for a explosion . It’s weird but when I first stepped into a ring , I already felt at home.

4. You are from Paris, France, how would you rate the wrestling scene over in France and how is it to represent France when you go to foreign countries like Germany and the UK ??

Unfortunately, the French scene is not as developed as in UK . There is a lot of potential but it’s almost impossible to build them as good workers because to be honest there is not a lot of shows in France and most of the time, they are not good quality. For the moment we are two wrestlers to go on the road on all the weekends (Tristan Archer / Clement Petiot from WWE Cruiserweight Classic and me). I hope that the situation is going to change in the next years. Representing my own country is a honour, there are not many wrestlers who get to work outside the country so we have to try our best to change the bad opinion of the French scene but that is also so much responsibility, it is enough to make one bad performance in one country, and some people are gonna say that the French are bad.

5. Speaking of the UK, you made your Southside Wrestling debut recently against 6 other men in the International Heavyweight title match, what were your thoughts on your UK debut??

My first step in UK and for SWE was awesome ! I have met so much new people and especially a lot of talents. You know, in my opinion , the best way to learn is by travelling and wrestling different wrestlers in different countries. I am the kind of guy who loves to learn and grow in the business. I had the chance to wrestled 6 wrestlers from different country all against each other, it was an awesome experience. I had a good feeling with the people in the venue and I also had good feedback on my performance . It was awesome night despite the defeat. I hope I will show again my skill in a UK ring again very soon and show everybody what I can do. I’m waiting on bookings.

6. You faced Icarus again recently in a match coined Act III which on paper sounds like a brilliant match, what are your thoughts on Icarus as an opponent and are your matches as brilliant as they sound??

Every time that I am opposite to Icarus is always a immense pleasure. Even if the competition is present between us, there is always this mutual respect, it’s gonna be some years now that I have know Icarus and i can’t count the amount of advice that he has gave me . Today Icarus is not not my enemy like i could read on the social networks but like the big brother that I try to kick his ass! Saying that our matches are brilliant would be a little arrogant from me . I have had a lot of good feedback on our last match and especially of the first confrontation in the GWF in Berlin . We had a second round in Hamburg where Icarus jumped from a balcony and finally the third round where i did a Spanish fly off the top ropes, to the outside of the ring. You can say that each of our confrontations are full of surprises. We also wrestled in Romania, soon in Hungary, why not soon in UK ?

7. Going back to the UK, you faced one of British Wrestling’s most hardcore wrestlers in Jimmy Havoc in a losing effort for the COW Interstate Title, how was it to face Jimmy and what are your thoughts on returning to COW after previously winning the #1 Contendership a few months prior??

To be against Jimmy Havoc is a good memory . This night was amazing cause they sung our names from beginning until the end of the match . But even in trying any combinations, Jimmy has keep his title and to be honest he deserves it . Sharing a ring with him was a real pleasure . You know, most of the people give a real importance to titles because finally you fight for it and become a champion . In my opinion there is different way to feel like a champion . I’m lucky and proud in my young career to travel all the weekends over the entire of Europe ,so I try to be focus match after match, it’s my own way to feel like a champion and that is enough . But it’s always a pleasure to return to COW, like a always a pleasure of return in each of the promotions that i have worked. You can ask anyone, i am happy if there is a ring and ropes .

8. What would you say are your future ambitions in wrestling and where do you see yourself in around 5 years time ??

My ambitions has always wrestle for the top indie promotions. Fight for the biggest promotion in America, In Japan and of course in UK . I am the kind of guy who loves to travel and have free choice. I want to grow and make my name known of all. The road will be long but i will not go it alone, we meet incredible people with this job and i have the chance to have a lot of people who follow my journey . Where i would be in 5 years? The question is difficult. How can I predict this kind of thing, we put our life in danger every time that we put one step in a ring. An injury can quickly arrive, especially for a high flyer like me. Let’s Say that in 5 years i hope that i will be happy and in good health.

9. Where can the readers find Senza Volto on social media and where can promoters find you to book you for their future shows??

You can follow my adventure by Facebook (-> senza volto) but also by Instagram / Snapchat / Twitter (-> senzavoltoreal). I am active on the social networks because I like to share my journey with the fans, that is a way to live the adventure together.

10. Finally have you got any future dates / projects you wish to plug to end the interview off ??

For the moment I can’t say nothing but big things are coming for me , but I want thank you for contacting me and giving me the opportunity for this interview , i want to also thank all the fans who bring me amazing support , don’t forget that without you, there is no wrestling, you don’t assist of shows as spectators, you are part of the show. Thank you and be sure that i will be back very soon in UK
