Former WWE wrestler Tyler Reks spoke about getting into pro wrestling and also leaving the industry behind in a new interview with Wrestling365 Radio. So where is Tyler Reks now and what has he been doing since leaving WWE?
Tyler Reks on Breaking into Pro Wrestling:
"I hope it's not too repetitive, but I was in the right place at the right time. My buddy was Rick Bassman, who owned UPW and he literally was like, hey man, there's a tryout, I know you're not into wrestling, come up and check it out and next thing I know, I'm at a tryout in Deep South Wrestling, I loved it, I had a great time and a year later I ended up in Tampa (with the WWE). I closed down two businesses, sold a condo and just moved."
Tyler Reks on Leaving the Spotlight of Pro Wrestling:
"You know, I think every wrestler that either retires or gets released will always miss being in front of the fans, it's like a drug. You feed off of it, you feel alive, there's an energy that surges through the crowd and for those 8-to-20 minutes depending on how long you've got, it's all eyes on you and it's really cool, so yeah, I do miss not being in the spotlight, because that was fun, but I don't miss the travel and I don't miss the politics and I love being good to my family, so there's goods and bads that go with it."

CB's Analysis: It's always good to see a former wrestler doing well for himself after leaving the industry, and while Tyler Reks was always decent in the ring, he never really got a full chance to shine or have longevity in WWE.
