Hello sir how are you doing?
Very well, thank you.
WWR recently signed a national tv deal, can you
give us anymore info on this?
The press release will be out in a day or two but yes we have been offered a
national deal.
What does this mean for the fans of Maritime wrestling?
In a nutshell, we automatically become the biggest promotion in Canada.....by
far. The sky is now the limit from a wrestling standpoint with all the exposure
we will get. We do, however, intend to keep this a prodominantly Maritime promotion.
What did you take into consideration when picking
the WWR roster?
We wanted some new faces, guys who feel comfortable on camera, guys who can
wrestle and guys without egos who will toe the line and work for the overall
product rather than thier own self interests.
Your thoughts on the newest group of wrestlers
in the Maritimes the guys from IHW
They are without question, the nicest young men I have run accross. Good attitudes
are very important in this job. Like any other job, do as your boss says and
usually the best man will work up the ladder. They are young, talented and most
importantly...IN THE GYM.
Will there be a WWR champion crowned?
Not yet....future episode.
Will more outside talent be brought in for future
shows?
Absolutely.
What are some of the names you would like to bring
in?
Bobby Roode, Brian Danielson, Petey Williams, Alex Shelly, Joe Legend, Chi Chi
Cruz to name my top few
Your thoughts on the effort that most local guys
put into getting booked else where?
What effort. That's laughable, unless asking me and Mike Hughes is an effort.
What can fans expect to see on Nov 25th?
The biginning of a new chapter in maritime wrestling history.
Any message for the people that doubt WWR will
succeed?
Those opinions have no effect on us. We knew we would succeed from our first
meeting in January. Failure was never an option.
Tell us alittle about your
new valet
Martine was recently crowned Ms. New Brunswick in figure competition. She was
trained by me of course and will be competing at the Atlantics on May 3rd in
Moncton and the Nationals on July 1st in Edmonton.
Any message for your opponents Duke MacIsaac and
Lincoln Steen?
I'm never out of shape but I'm in the best shape of my life now. Wildman is
also in tremendous shape. Don't think about victory, or even looking good. Enjoy
being part of a match with a great team like us and take your beatings like
men.
Kind of off topic but for those that don't know
you raise Grayhound dogs, can you tell us a little about how you got into this?
I don't raise greyhounds, I help rescue retired greyhounds from American racing
tracks. My wife and I help our local greyhound adoption group find homes for
new retirees. I have two of my own, Joe and Kaz.
Any closing comments?
Thanks to eveyone for all the support we have gotten. Our huge turnout for the
Maritime Cup played a big roll in our recent network deal and we intend to give
the fans many more high quality shows in the future.
Also a thank you to those outside of the WWR ownership who have worked as hard
or harder than us; Cathy Yetman, Katrina Hockey, Zack Doyle, Ryan Mader, Ben
McCully and Kent Robertson.
