Biography:
How did you get started in Professional Wrestling?
I played football from about age 9 until I graduated high school. I then went to a lesser known Division I university and got my higher education while playing linebacker for the football team. My next step was the NFL. That is, until no team drafted me or asked me in for a rookie workout. From there, I decided to get a job doing something active that was similar to football. Pro wrestling happened to be the choice.
Where did you train for your pro wrestling career?
Well, without being specific, I was able to get into a couple of pro wrestling schools. I was good enough with the fundamentals to continue training, but I guess you could say my ego was in better shape than my body for the sport. I was kicked out of both schools for not getting along with the other participants. I then started watching You Tube for some pointers.
You trained by watching You Tube?
Pretty much. I'd look for extra things. Like alternate versions of basic moves to get a better grasp of things in the ring. Remember I had fundamentally been taught. But there was something about watching Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Hawk and Animal, Sting, Steve Austin, Buddy Landel, and others that made what I knew seem to need more. I mean, I couldn't really do that, but their matches and interviews motivated me. I have to say I really liked how Hawk could hold himself in an interview -- intense and entertaining.
When was your first wrestling match?
I'm not sure of the exact date. But I do know I got lucky to wrestle to a small around Indianapolis' suburbs. I happened to walk in and ask for a job. They gave me some crappy robe and told me to wrestle. Good thing I had wrestling gear broke in already! I was the target of Tom Prichard that night and he gave me quite the beating. I guess he realized I was green and he really worked me over. Ya know, for an older veteran in the sport, he can still run. It's like he's half his age in that ring. After the match, the company liked what they saw from me and actually asked Tom to make sure I got better in the ring. A couple of weeks later, Jimmy Valiant was around that company and took me under his wing in other ways.
[EDIT: The Cavinder twins no longer accompany Brady Booker, having separated between October and December 2023. In December 2023, the trio formally ended the romantic relationship in December 2023. The three decided to remain friends, keeping open conversation about a return to their romantic relationship in the future.]
I have no formal managerial services assisting me. However, I have made contact and began a business relationship with a couple of individuals with security experience during my travels. We are awaiting EWA approval for their ability to actually work inside the arenas during shows in either a security and/or possibly a tag team capacity.
How did you come up with the names to your finisher(s)?
In music, a symphony is a musical composition for an orchestra--sometimes arranged in numberous movements--so it has some steps to it.
[EDIT: Bitter Sweet Symphony and its Remix changed to The Bodacious Symphony and The Bodacious Symphony Remix, respectively in January 2024.]
I changed my knock out finisher to something more reliable. The previous knock out finisher was proven a bit of a weakness, having somewhat backfired by allowing me to inadvertantly hit head on the Television Championship during a match I adamantly requested, whereupon the resulting loss of that match was later reversed by Christian Cage. This incident also involved DDP.
How did you come up with the moniker
[EDIT: "Candy Man" and "Mr. Eye Candy" nicknames were retired in January 2024.]
Honestly? I was trying to spell a word one day and it came up too. It got my attention and I looked up its meaning out of curiosity. That kind of took me down a search rabbit hole about the definition: "bold and audacious;" sometimes "excellent," "admirable," or "attractive;" and also possibly "sexy" or "unmistakable." After all that reading, I figured it would be a nice substitute and would bode well for my wrestling career going forward.
Is there any thing else you wanted to add about your time so far in professional wrestling?
