Did you watch a lot of wrestling growing up?

Ethan Andrews
Wrestling... like so, the two sides of wrestling? I watched both the high school collegiate type wrestling and also pro wrestling and then by about the time I got to middle school, I felt out of like love for pro wrestling. I mean, to be honest, it was a bad run in WWE when I dropped out. The collegiate and high school style wrestling, some... and Olympic wrestling to an extent, is something that I always watched consistently throughout my life and ever since college and even to this day I still watch pro wrestling in some form or another.

What is your highest achievement as a fighter?

Ethan Andrews
I would say my biggest achievement is just my longevity, the number of videos I've put out and you know, a couple of belts that I've won along the way as well amongst the different video promotions.

How did you get into making wrestling videos?

Ethan Andrews
So getting into that, I actually was approached by the owner of UCW way back in early 2009, late 2008 about doing it. I actually almost wrestled for BG East first, but I was too scared and timid about it because I was in college and then I instead started with UCW after about mulling it over for a year and once I... once the video started heading for UCWI started to get attention from other video companies, both old and new. And it just... my trajectory just went up to there. And funny enough, I didn't think it was actually... I was actually going to be popular, even though the owner and a few other people said that I was going to be popular. I had no kind of insight to the wrestling video industry at the time and didn't really know what people were looking for so, when they told me that, I thought they were just blowing smoke up my ass.

What is your preferred fighting attire?

Ethan Andrews
Ah man, my preferred fighting attire really changes on, like, a whim. But typically it runs the gambit. But anything from singlets down to compression, shorts, trunks, briefs, jocks, naked, it really doesn't matter with me. I like nude wrestling, but then I also do a lot. My closet is filled with tons of gear too. So it's like I said, it really changes kind of my mood and kind of what I'm going for in the match, both me and my opponents.

What is your favorite part of erotic wrestling?

Ethan Andrews
I think the favorite part of erotic wrestling is just sort of the relaxed nature of it coming from like starting out in a competitive background.

It's, it's nice to incorporate that aspect and just kind of like put the competitiveness aside and then get into the the more fantasy aspect. Even growing up and watching that, you know, I had those fantasies like most other guys and it's hot to actually act those out rather than just fantasize about it. Because we can all fantasize. But how many of us can actually take that leap to go beyond fantasy and actually be able to do some of the things that we've only cybered about, talked about, or dreamed about?

How comfortable are you wrestling naked on camera? Did it take long to get used to that?

On camera, yes. But off camera, no. Like, I had no inhibitions whatsoever about wrestling naked off camera. It actually took me several years of doing video work before I was very comfortable and like, there was a progression there.

You know, it went from, you know, your very standard kind of looking speedos and trunks, then it went down the bikinis, eventually thongs and jock straps on camera. And then... I can't really remember the first video that I did naked, but there was a progression and it took a couple of years. Now, I have really no argument whatsoever about being nude on camera.
