Worldwide-One of Riviera's goals breaking into the pro wrestling wrestling business
was to one day be listed in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Top 500. 2006 proved to be the year for the brash young man.
Coming at at #486, Riviera was not content with the listing. I caught up with Riviera at a Starbucks (where he ordered
a coke?!) and presented him with a copy of the magazine. Unaware of the listing, Riviera's face lit up. He immediately
jumped out of the stool and hopped up on the guard rail in his two tone black and white Stacy Adams and began to strut
across the table. He yelled at the top of his lungs that he was the greatest. It seeemed as if he had
been watching Muhammad Ali, continually yelling "I am the greatest, I am the greatest!". After another 10 minutes
of the madness and him parading around in his boxers and dancing me all around the coffee shop, the cops showed up and well...will
leave it at that!
