Bean Lebouc - Before we get started for those who may not know Bay Ragni tell us a bit about yourself and what made you want to get in the Wrestling business?  Bay Ragni  - First off, thanks so much for asking me to do this, and help me build the legend of myself and Chubby Dudley!!!  Since a very young age I knew that I never wanted to be a doctor, police, fire or army man and that I wanted to be a star.
