We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Flawless Flames. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with FLAWLESS below.

FLAWLESS, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your creative career sooner or later?

Edward : I’m stuck in between most times. Sometimes I wish I started younger to have an advantage but sometimes I also think about what my career would look like if I stayed in school and waited to wrestle. I don’t regret anything though.

Kaizen: I wanted to start my wrestling career at the age of 19, but I had family worried that I would hurt myself and kinda discouraged me. I took the college route and after graduating I fell in love with martial arts and professional wrestling again. Thats when I started competing worldwide jiu jitsu tournaments. I then moved to Georgia from Louisiana to start professional wrestling in 2023.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Edward: I’m the Father Of Flawless, Edward Draven. I began wrestling training in November of 2022. I’ve always been a fan of professional wrestling since before I could walk! For my 19th birthday my mom bought my first training membership and I’ve been wrestling since.

Kaizen: Well my real name is Jamien. Many may know me by my stage name and social media as Kaizen or The Louisiana Hotboy. I’ve been working with children on the spectrum for 6 and half years. In 2021, I was struggling to find a stage name for when i was competing in jiu jitsu. One of my clients from the past actually helped me come up with the name knowing i love the anime jujutsu kaizen. When i looked up the name Kaizen it means GOOD ENERGY in Japanese which describes me. The persona HOT BOY comes from the Louisiana hip hop group formed in 1997 THE HOT BOYZ with lil wayne, Juvenile, turk, and mannie fresh. I am now a professional wrestler in Georgia which could be seen live in Conyers, GA every 3rd Friday at Cuatros Casa De Lucha. Right along with my tag team partner The King of The Party Edward Draven.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

Edward: There was a time where I was in a group. Things didnt work out and I had to land on my feet before I fell in my face. I trained for a year without taking any bookings just to relearn fundamentals and to figure myself out as a singles competitor for the first time.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

Kaizen:
The most rewarding part of being a professional wrestler is performing for the crowd and keeping them entertained. we have the best audience here in Conyers, Ga at PCW and they really show out if they love you and if you’ve seen my matches they LOVE the hot boy.
