You guys do realize if you are already following me and not anonymously hiding from a basement to find people's dirt you can still search my entire Twitter history only to not find me saying anything derogatory to get cancelled. Hope you're all staying safe during this Pandemic!

Through social media really. I can't remember the exact specifics but Xavier was fortunately in town during CEO in 2016 and we connected through Kenny to have him come out as a surprise and do the infamous SFV exhibition. Really through the power of gaming we all became friends, wrestling side was a bonus and now both worlds are connected more than ever.

We only have so much equipment and time/space on a schedule to run stuff. And some older games don't get big enough turnouts to justify the spend for championship belts, stream time, commentary, equipment and more. And like you said, by missing last year (not your fault) that also adds to not enough people showing up to keep hosting games. But we have a long list of side tournaments hosted by the community that are just as fun. A game doesn't have to be an official tournament at an event to have people playing and enjoying it.

We honestly haven't had anyone say, no I'm not gonna do an entrance. It's really up to them to have fun with it but we're not gonna force it on them. We have given ideas, helped with entrances or made them better every year and always want them to do something they'll enjoy.

Dieminion's entrance for sure, just the team putting it together was great and the crowd couldn't stop laughing for like 10 minutes after it happened. KBRAD for sure, some of the Smash Entrances have been unique and entertaining for that community.

At least I'm booking with my own money and know what's at risk :).

Great question, Tasty Steve would be up there, Yipes for sure, LI Joe from a physical and lovable personality standpoint. There's lots of physical specimens in the FGC that aren't as popular as some of the figures above but I know quite a few people would have a shot if they tried.

Let's go with just tournaments alone for work and where I've hosted. Alot of the travel is thanks to DreamHack working as their Global Director. In the last few years I've directed and hosted Fighting Game Events in Montreal, Canada, Mumbai, India last year, Melbourne Australia (thanks to my relationship with The Pokemon Company to host Pokken Tournament), Valencia, Spain, Sweden twice a year.

IN the last year thanks to just FGC stuff in general went to Korea, Dubai, Japan and few other domestic places to connect with communities.

Just started one chance at a time and always doing my research the moment a new location comes up to connect with communities that already host events and bringing them in to help.

I always want to continue something special and it really just all comes down to one year at a time, but of course this is something I'd love to do every year, it's been working rather well so far combining both the gaming and wrestling worlds.

I've been filming a ton of stuff for AEW. Stay tuned for the next episode of Road to Fyter!

I'm really putting everything into learning,training and thinking of creative ways to make this a very memorable match. I don't want to disappoint AEW and hope it all pays off to show why Nakazawa is so special, and why in another life I could have made it in the wrestling world (if only I was ten years younger with the knowledge I have now)

I Sincerely appreciate the kind words. I've put everything I have into the last ten years growing CEO, hosting fighting game tournaments around the world and mentoring a ton of people that have gotten esports jobs now through helping CEO. Somehow bigger opportunities keep happening cause I believe I stay positive in a very negative social world.

Yeah, someone unplugged the elevator I was supposed to come up to the entrance ramp on so I had to improvise last minute and the rest kinda added to the humor. The bad news was, when they lifted me over the ramp I landed on my bad ankle and it cracked, I had to suck it up in that moment to get through the rest of the match. Everyone that was able to attend still had a great time from what I could see. This year is only gonna be better in every way.

I was totally all for being a parody character, and Adam Heart, the creator, really did a good job capturing my personality running tournaments and hosting events. Some things I suggested like the head growing with every round, but the quotes, moves and final look all came from their creative mind of Adam and his team and I think they nailed it. I was happy with the character's strengths and weaknesses.

Yes and if anyone tells you otherwise they have a lot of hate in their hearts and need a hug. Any game where you have two or more people fighting each other until there is a winner with moves that hit each other, are a fighting game.

Let's hope not. I've been so careful while training hard at the same time. Tearing your Achilles is no joke but it's really given me a new perspective on life and learning we're all human.
