I was an independent wrestler for a few years, working briefly for Sika under the name Energy Crisis in Pensacola. My first conversation with him saw him sit me down & chew me out for not letting some of the lesser experienced wrestlers tear the ring down at about 1 in the morning. "You let them green 'boys' take down that ring, brudda. You sit here and talk to Sika," he said. Still makes me laugh when I think about that conversation as it was the first time an actual legend in the business requested a conversation with me, of all people. Sika was an incredible man. I often look back fondly on the short time i was wrestling for him and the amazing memories that were made in his promotion. My condolences go out to his family. He is already greatly missed.
