CIW: This was obviously written before this evening, but what does the AWA Light Heavyweight Championship mean to you? KM: It means a lot. It means that….it’s showing all these fans that I’m real, that I’m not just that I’m not just out there; I’m not just some gimmick; I’m not just some rip-off; I’m not just another, I guess, so to speak, Hardy Boy. I’m my own person, this sets me apart. I try to go out there and show them that this is what I am. I’m gonna bleed for you and take bumps off of very high ladders for you whether you boo me or not. It’s a platform to allow me to show who I really am. CIW: Out of all the talent on the independent scene, what makes Kirby unique? What sets you part? KM: I don’t know…..I can’t get inside everybody and speak for everybody’s passion and dedication to the business, but I have a lot of passion regardless of whether I’m in front of 6 fans or 300 fans, the passion is still there. The same exact passion. I think my desire to eat, sleep, and breathe this business is definitely what makes me as an individual stand out and then, of course, there is my flashy outfit, that’s always kinda cool. CIW: You were trained by the Hardy’s and at one point, you were even referred to as Jeff Hardy’s protégé. Is a label like that more of a blessing or more of a curse? KM: I would definitely look at it as a blessing. Jeff, of course, is an amazing individual; a great performer, talented beyond anybody I know. And definitely when you’re coming up at a young age like that, to be labeled as Jeff Hardy’s protégé, people definitely start to take notice of you. Now, granted, at that time, I may not have been the best, so to speak, but a name like that when you’re starting out is definitely good for you. And then you’re able to break out of that mold as you show your own individuality from it. So, I definitely take it as a blessing and an honor.
