So I was going to drive down and sign up, and literally the weekend I was going to go. My buddy was like, 'Hey, we are training in Orange County, would you wanna do that?' I said I'll take a look at that ... and I remember driving to LA Box, it's a one-storey glass building and I could see the ring through the glass and I was like, 'I will deal with the suck, Monday to Friday because on the weekends, I'll be a Superhero and that's how I approached it.
