Hello sir how have you been ?
I'm fine thanks.
You were recently on a tour of Puerto Rico but came out early, would
you like to talk about why?
After a very good tag match with the Kowboy, I got dizzy and had bad chest pain
for about 45 minutes. I flew home for medical treatment. Tests were inconclusive
and I recieved a clean bill of health.
You have worked for UCW, GPW, RAW & ACW here
in the Maritimes. What do you think is being done to make East Coast Pro Wrestling
better?
ECPW need not concern themselves with the past but work
hard to put on a great show within their budget.
What should be done to make sure that happens?
They should figure out their budget and stick to it. That is the key. In business
the bottom line is the most important thing.
There have been rumored many different things
in regards to TV. Can you give us any more details on this?
I'm afraid not. It is very complicated and will be made public eventually.
Why do you think Kentville was picked to host
ECPW 's first show in 2005?
Kentville has drawn better than Halifax in recent years and the fans are great.
It is only a 45 minute drive from Halifax anyway.
How were the Sinner Camp students in 2004 compared
to other students you have trained in the past ?
At first glance I was horrified. Only two showed up in shape and one had to
leave early. I'm very proud of Jeff and Jason for finishing. They never complained
once and they worked hard. Two of my best students.
What are your thoughts on the whole Ring Of Honor
concept, the feild of honor, the code of honor, pretty much promoting it's product
as more of a sport, then sports entertainment?
I think ROH sucks. They are midget nerds who can't lick a stamp doing fully
choriographed matches that make no sense. When you have a man down, why would
you help him up to run yet another spot? Some of these guys have come to Europe
and are lost in a twenty minute match with the exception of Cabana who is a
natural.
Do you think that could work here the in Maritimes?
NO
Why do you think ECPW picked to run it's first show as
the Maritime Cup?
It makes sense in that new champs are crowned and feuds are started, plus it'll
keep you happy.
What wrestlers do you think need to be brought
in to help make ECPW a success?
The local guys are most important.
Which do you think is a better idea brining in
older WWE stars or bringing in top level indy talent (Aj Styles, Chris Daniels
ect.) or a mix of both ?
Older stars are expensive and rarely draw. And there are many wrestlers as good
as Styles and Daniels who don't get the exposure. However some will be appearing.
You have been booked and could still be booked
all over the world, why are you making a return to the Maritimes ?
I will be in and out still. I plan to go to Japan in May, Ireland in June and
Germany in Sept. I believe this will work and I like being home.
You were supposed to fight in the UFC, but the
fight never happened, how come ?
It is unclear to me. I may have been too aggressive at the press conference
but I was trying to hype the fight. I might fight him in Belfast this year.
How has Body Tech been doing?
Very well, getting out of retail to concentrate on distribution and personal
training.
What do you think of Tony Armstrong trying to
lose weight and get him self into better shape?
It's great. I just got off the phone with him and I'm going to help him get
in shape.
Ring of Honor has made most of their money on
internet video sales, do you think is something that could help make ECPW special?
by that I mean making video's of each show for sale, which is something that
hasn't been done in the Maritimes before
Yes. If only we knew someone who tapes shows.....hmmmm.
Who do you think has the best shot at becoming
the first ECPW champion (other than yourself of course)
Duke. He has spent more time in the gym than all the others and has become a
machine with the help of you know who.
Is there someone out there that you think is too
much of a risk,that you wouldn't get into the ring with?
No, if someone takes liberties with me they are quickly straightened out.
Anything you would like to plug?
Sex. It feels really good.
What does the future hold for Kingman ?
I will see the rest of the world, make a few bucks, spend more time with my
wife and dogs and break into the acting world.
