The last we saw of you in the Maritimes was in
2003 when you wrestled for MSW, CPW and ECPW. How have you been keeping busy
the past two years?
The last couple of years I slacked off, I was still wrestling but not at the
level I know I can and have
Any plans on coming back to the Maritimes?
It's one of my all time favorite places to wrestle. It just depends on the promotion
and their willingness to bring me in.
How did your trip to Japan go?
I loved the trip, I had alot of fun. I wish I could have spent more time there.
I feel my match was the low point. I just wasn't 'on' that night
With the strong Canadian influence in TNA how
come we haven't seen you in a TNA ring?
border problems, that should be cleared up very soon
In a interview I did with Joe E. Lengend he said
you were lucky to not be involved with TNA, any thoughts on that?
Joe speaks his mind, at least he buried TNA, not me! LOL
Would you like to compete with TNA?
Sure, once I can go back to the States, I'll be knocking on their door
With all the Canadians you worked with and came
up with you around the same time Benoit, Edge, Christian, Storm, Jericho &
Don Callis that all had or have WWE contracts. Why do you think you were never
signed to a WWE contract?
Timing. Bad timing. When they flew me to Stamford for a try
out, it was extremely promising. Until I arrived and was told Benoit, Guerrero,
Saturn, and Malenko just jumped over from WCW and no more contracts were available.
So I ended up working out for 2 days with the biggest piece of garbage ever
to lace up boots. That was early 2000. I got very depressed after that, and
it took it's toll. I got looked at again, by Arn Anderson, in 2003. But the
depression kept me from working out like I needed to in order to look like they
want. Physically, I wasn't in good enough shape. Arn said I was very fluid
and he liked the way I worked though. I have beaten the depression and the other
problems it brought on, and I am now more determined than ever to get another
shot at WWE. This time I'll be more than ready.
Are you still defending the Real Action Wrestling
title?
I don't have the actual belt anymore so it never gets mentioned
Did Emile Dupre contact you to wrestle for GPW
this summer?
I talked with him but nothing worked out
As of August 29th 2005 how many matches do you
have?
I'm not sure exactly but I think 2 to 3 thousand maybe
You had a series of matches with Tony Armstrong
when you competed in MSW.
Tony was very new to wrestling at that time. How
do you feel he conducted himself and how do you feel the matches went?
Tony was great, he showed alot of respect and eagerness to learn. He's a very
funny guy too, getting naked and running around parking lots! I thought the
matches were great! He stepped up to the plate when I told him he needed too.
He has a good handle on being a 'big man'in the business.
During a show at Curley Portable's in Enfield,
Nova Scotia a fan ran to the ring and grabbed you from behind, tell us what
you were thinking when that happened?
It was a tag match, so at first I thought it was Gary or Steen, then I realized
they were both in the ring. Well, I lose it, snap, fly off the handle (best
Champ impression) Seriously though, that is scary, and I react violently when
personally assaulted because I've been stabbed before when I didn't expect it,
so you never know what can happen next. I consider my life on the line whensomeone
attacks me.
What are your thoughts on the whole Ring Of Honor
concept, the field of honor, the code of honor, pretty much promoting it's product
as more of a sport, then sports entertainment?
I love the idea, I haven't seen any of their matches but the concept would play
right up my alley as I love mat wrestling and working a more believable style
Have you even been contacted by Ring Of Honor
to worked for them?
No
Have you ever talked to the wrestler in the United
States that wrestles as Chi Chi Cruz?
Never
Is there anyone you haven't wrestled that you
want too?
I would love to wrestle Flair, he's the best
Who do you enjoy watching wrestle?
Ric Flair, Shawn Micheals, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero
If you could wrestle one person everyday who
would it be?
That would get so boring after awhile that my mind can't process an answer.
LOL
Who would you say is the top trainer in Canada?
Me
Any closing Comments?
If at first you don't succeed, don't give up. Everything happens for a reason.
Don't let anything get you depressed, there is nothing worse. I could be living
my dreams right now if I didn't lose sight of myself. That will never happen
again, I am getting in the best shape of my life right now with more drive than
ever. I have come back from carreer ending injuries. My arm was supposed to
be amputated but I wouldn't let them because I believed in myself. Just because
something happens that you didn't expect, doesn't mean give up. Sometimes people
don't realize how close they are to their dreams when they quit trying.
