From WWE Developmental Reject to Hollywood Special FX: Seth Skyfire Never Looked Back

Once one of OVW’s most trusted, reliable, and talented performers, Seth Skyfire (Steven Adkins) lived the wrestling grind at the highest developmental level. When that chapter ended, he didn’t linger, complain, or wait for a call that might never come.

He pivoted.

On this episode of LiMPiN AiNT EASY, the greatest Cruiserweight in OVW history, Seth Skyfire opens up about:

- His OVW years and why he was trusted with everyone

- The realities of WWE developmental and being released

- Why walking away from wrestling was the right decision

- Reinventing himself in Hollywood as a Special FX artist working on all the MARVEL movies in the MCU, DC Studios, Star Wars (The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, & more), The Avatar movies, Ghosterbusters, Disney+ projects; and any big Hollywood production utilizing practical FX

Finding fulfillment beyond the ring — without bitterness

This is NOT a “What Went Wrong” story...

If you’ve ever had to let go of one dream to build another, this conversation is for you.

Johnny Jeter lived through a version of WWE most fans never saw—politics, pressure, Wrestler’s Court, anxiety, and the survival test known as the Ruthless Aggression Era.

Before the Spirit Squad, before DX launched him across arenas, Jeter was a hungry OVW prospect surrounded by Cena, Orton, Batista, Shelton Benjamin, Victoria, and Brock Lesnar—trying not to get eaten alive.

In this candid and emotional conversation, Johnny opens up about:

Navigating WWE young, green & terrified

Locker room culture, heat, and hazing

Wrestler’s Court & being backhanded backstage

OVW memories, Paul Heyman storytelling & Canyon mentorship

Returning to real life after the business

Finding peace, perspective & purpose

This isn’t a shoot for shock value—it’s a human story about surviving a system built to break you.

Psycho Love pulls up to LiMPiN AiNT EASY and we get real about wrestling, work, and life.

We hit everything: WWE developmental (Deep South → OVW), the Diva Search shake-up, being “used to train” models, building the Knockouts division that kicked the door for today’s women’s wrestling, Fodder’s late start at 34 and light-bulb moment, indie freedom vs TV limitations, marketing yourself like a brand, paying dues “in different ways,” sobriety and second chances, family as the anchor, and why authenticity beats cosplay every day of the week.

If you’re chasing the dream—or rebuilding your own—this one’s a blueprint.

Topics we hit:

Paying dues, different paths, and getting hired when there are “no rules”

Diva era vs Knockouts: looks, pressure, and legacy

OVW/Deep South cuts, bouncing back, and blowing up in TNA

Fodder’s fast rise, EC3 & Ricky Morton influence, NWA programs

Crowd psychology, promos, and why indie control is priceless

Business mindset: resumes, reels, merch, and advocates

Real life: parenting, home base, and staying grounded

Deaf Wrestler Spencer Slade (NWA) joins LiMPiN AiNT EASY for a full interview on discipline, work ethic, physique standards, and turning adversity into advantage. Born severely hearing impaired and "DEAFIANT," Spencer breaks down hearing aids → speech therapy → confidence, and how that grind became TV-ready intensity.

Spencer’s story hits every pillar: HBCU football, Dr. Tom Pritchard drills (“man-in-the-middle”), Killer Kowalski-lineage training, showing up unbooked to an NWA taping & earning a contract. We talk networking with promoters, assertiveness, indie reality checks, and why “luck” is just calendars + calories.
