A pandemic... a redundancy... depression... the journey began 11 years before this all happened. I was a professional wrestler making waves and honing that craft until one day this came to an abrupt end. I found out I had broke my neck and required major surgery with my C5 vertebrae needing to be removed as well as the surrounding discs with C4:C6 being fused together. Everything I knew was gone in an instant as I was forced to becoming medically retired from combat sports. No choice and no option.<\/p>
I had to conform to normal life and someone else's rules in society and get a \"real job\".<\/p>
Fast forward 10 years, working a few long term jobs in security and sales until another twist of fate. Covid...the pandemic hit...this evidently became the final nail in the coffin (so to speak) for my employment. I was made redundant and with this a downward spiral started.<\/p>
All that had happened previously...a severe depression hit, a huge impact on my way of thinking and thoughts of life, darkness consumed my every thought...selfishly, suicide passed my eyes with no thought for my family or others.<\/p>
Until...through all the help and support I received...I woke one day with a vision...HardKore Inc.<\/p>
