Getting to Know Xavier Sky
Written Interview with Xavier Sky
At 2 Heels and A Face we wanted to bring our readers/listeners more written content and give the chance for some up and coming wrestlers to express themselves. Here’s your chance to learn more about someone who’s been making their name in the Freelance Wrestling ring. Below is a Q&A interview with Xavier Sky.
Q: What do you love about Wrestling?
A: I absolutely love the athletic side of pro wrestling. I was fortunate enough to go to A LOTTTT of independent shows when I was younger. My mom started taking me to AAW shows when I was 10, and it was so cool because I was able to see like all these crazyyyyy good wrestlers, and the wrestling was so much cooler than what I was seeing on TV. Fast forward to 19 and it’s crazy because now I’m trying to be like the people I was watching. But yeah I’m definitely more into the Indie “Go Go Go” matches, I like watching fast paced spots with some big moves sprinkled in.
Q: Who in wrestling has inspired you?
A: Oh my, this is an interesting question, because I take inspiration from alotttttt of people. But if we’re talking the most, probably Sammy Guevara, and AR Fox.
- Sammy Guevara because I found his vlogs verrrryyyyy early on. I used to watch Fuego Del Sol’s backyard fed, and he did a collab with Guevara so I checked out his channel and got hooked since. Like his vlogs were my favorite thing to watch. Just seeing everything that went into wrestling was insane, and not to mention that man can gooooooo!! I wish I had half of his in ring talent, man.
- AR Fox because he was one of the first people I remember seeing at AAW and just thinking “That’s exactly who I wanna be like”. Like he wrestled exactly how I’d picture myself wrestling, and the man’s got my dream look lol. I just can’t explain like the connection I just developed towards him haha, one of the best wrestlers of all time HANDS DOWN.
- I also still get inspired by a lot of indie guys at the moment like Blake Christian, Myron Reed, Lio Rush, Gringo Loco. Like every time I watch these guys I just sit and think like, “When will I be able to do this stuff?” .
Q: How would you describe yourself/your character inside the ring?
A: Honestly, I’ve always respected the guys who just go out there, and do their thing. I’ve never really been into characters at all, and I always told myself I’m just gonna be me. Some people don’t like it/get it, and it is what it is. But again that goes back to growing up and watching the top talent indie guys just kill it. So as far as my character, it’s just Lorenzo who puts on a pair of bikers in all honesty.
Q: Who are you outside of the ring?
A: Outside of the ring I am veryyyyy shy. I work at my mom’s resale shop throughout the week, and I watch alottttttttttt of PWG highlights in my free time, I may or may not have an addiction. On weekends I don’t have anything wrestling related I usually hang out with my girlfriend Guerrera De Briesnas (who I actually met at the Freelance Academy) which usually consists of Chipotle and shopping lol. But yeah, I’m just a very shy kid who really likes wrestling haha.
Q: What are your guilty pleasures? What are other things do you like? (ex: Music, movies, food, hobbies, etc)
A: So I actually sew wrestling gear. Lee Moriarty was actually my first customer lmaoo. I remember asking him if I could make him a pair of kneepads, and I had absolutely zero clue how to make kneepads . They ended up getting the job done though haha. Then he came back to me and ordered a pair and I was like “oh snap maybe they weren’t all that bad”. Ever since then I’ve just been making all my bikers and what not, and some stuff here and there for people.
Q: If you could show us one match you were involved in that you’re proud of, which match would it be and how could we watch it?
A: My favorite match hands down is my match with Monix at Freelance Vs The World, it’s available on IWTV

Backstory: So I actually wasn’t trained by the Freelance Academy. I started when I was 16 with a local wrestler by the name of Justa Mazing. And don’t get me wrong, that was really cool and he taught me so much, but then I had a gynecomastia surgery, and after recovering from that I knew it was time to expand out. Coincidentally, around that time Monix had put out a tweet that he was training for a comeback, and to hit him up if you wanted to roll around with him cause he’d be doing training sessions every week. I had never met this man in my life, and I’m sure this tweet was put out for his friends in wrestling, but I still slid in his DM’s cuz why not lmao. So I messaged him and he gave me all the info and I showed up and the rest was history. Every week we’d be in the Galli ring just working man. We got to a point where every session we’d do a practice match, watch it back, and if we weren’t pleased we’d run it back haha. He cleaned up a lotttttt where I was lacking and what was so great about these little sessions is that usually it was me and like 2 other people haha, so we could get a lot done. Then one day we’re just talking and I bring up the freelance academy and how I always wanted to go there, and he recommended them to me and I eventually got in there. Me and Pat were supposed to wrestle at Gallimania last year and that never happened, so when the time came and we were able to do it at the Auditorium, that just meant so much to me. Monix played a hugeee role on my career, I definitely consider him my mentor.
Q: Short term and long-term goals? What is something you’d like to accomplish within a year’s time?
A: For me, I definitely wanna be a top talent indie guy. I wanna be the person on shows and people are like why isn’t this man signed haha. I just wanna be “the hottest free agent if you will”. But I would definitely for sure love to one day sign a contract.
As far as short term/in a year, as dumb as it may sound, I’ve just been hitting the gym everyday and I’d love to wrestle without a shirt within the
next year. I’m just waiting for the right time, when everything is lookin right haha!!
Q: What type(s) of wrestling are you watching currently?
A: I've been watching a lot of just high flying and Lucha lately. Gringo is actually a trainer at the academy now, and ngl when they told us he’d be starting to train there, I fanboyed a bit inside. But training with him really opened my eyes to Lucha, so I’ve been trying to watch a lot of that.
Q: Where can people find you or the content you create online?
A: I don’t tweet much like at all, but my twitter is: @xaviersky
My Instagram however, I post quite often on there, it’s: @_xaviersky
My pro wrestling gear page (Instagram) where I sew stuff is: @takeflightdesignz
