Christian Moore [Ben Puttmann], grew up in the Midwest and at the age of nineteen, decided to pursue a dream of professional wrestling. Choosing Omaha, Nebraska as his starting point, he trained for just over three months before having his first match on September 29, 2002, losing to his trainer, Austin Storm.

For the next year, he would continue his training in Omaha before moving to Minneapolis to find more exposure. Gaining worldly knowledge under the guidance of Ed Sharkey and Terry Fox, Moore trained for three months before returning home to Iowa and traveling the midwest competing in matches.

Wrestling in such states as Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Utah, Moore had plans to one day make professional wrestling his career. Over the next three years, before and after matches, in cars, hotel rooms and airplanes, Moore chronicled his career by putting his professional wrestling experiences on paper. In September of 2007, those journals turned into a completed manuscript and four months later, his autobiography, Being Moore: My Life In Professional Wrestling became available to wrestling fans around the world.

This is his account of what it’s really like, Being Moore.
