“He comes from a good camp; the kickboxing scene in Canada is strong, I know that,” Algeo said, beginning his assessment of Nelson and the breakdown of how things tend to play out inside the cage. “He’s good, he’s tough, he’s durable; he’s lost to some guys, he’s beaten some guys, but I don’t see anything spectacular out of him, to be honest with you.
“I’m pretty durable too, so essentially that can cancel each other out, and then it’s who’s slicker? Who is more refined? Who makes better decisions that night? Who’s the better athlete? Anything can happen on that night, but who made better decisions? Who had a better game plan and who actually followed it?”
Come Saturday night, the plan is for him to be the answer to all those essential questions — for him to put on another entertaining performance and jump on the mic and drop another pro wrestling promo to wrap up a successful road trip to the Jersey Shore.
But if it’s not, that’s okay, too, because life is good for Algeo, and he’s going to enjoy himself no matter what.
“This is a dream of mine and I’m doing well, which is just making the dream that much better, but I have other things in my life set up and I’m happy all around,” he said with a smile. “Family, business, they’re all good, so this is just icing on the cake, and the icing just keeps getting heavier and thicker and sweeter, with sprinkles.”
