How did you
come to be a backyard wrestler://
Well, Ive been a wrestling fan forever, and after watching WWF, WCW, and
ECW for while, I said, I can do this shit better than a lot of these goobers.
Then about five years ago I got into Puro, Lucha (and more recently North American
Indies) and said, I aint as good as these guys, but I can try to
be. So between my hate for the majority of mainstream North American wrestling
and my love for foreign and independent wrestling, I decided to become a wrestler
myself. As for VCW, the concept kinda started in 1999 with myself and The
Outstanding Athlete Andrew Poole wrestling on my trampoline. Then I heard
the Man-Beast liked wrestling, then he started inexplicably kicking my ass in
the hallways, then we finally made something official out of it, and VCW was
born.
Why ://
Its fun, man.
Do you plan
to go pro ://
Heres the thing: it would be kinda fun to live the dream and
what have you, but the truth is, my conditioning sucks, and Im not really
that big on the whole training scene.
Tell me something
about your appearance ://
Summer: Loud T-shirt (often Hawaiian), baggy shorts, kneepads, and Masato Tanaka/Mitsuharu
Misawa/Stan Hansen elbow-thingy on right arm. Winter: Long-sleeved navy blue
shirt, black athletic shorts, grey bubble vest, and the aforementioned pads
on underneather clothing. As for my personal appearance, Im 60,
222 lbs., gorgeous blond hair, and DECEPTIVELY STOCKY~!
Your style of
wrestling ://
I sort of have two distinct styles. The first one is a mat-wrestling based one,
with a lot of strikes and submissions, and a bit of flying thrown in (kind of
Ikuto Hidaka-like, though he flies better and more often than me). My second
style I usually utilize against smaller guys like Chris Mason & Bromine:
its pretty much a fuck psychology, lets do a bunch of wack,
head-dropping highspots mentality. I like em both.
Are there any
wrestlers in the league you don't like ://
Work: MAKABE, Lenny D., Bromine, other heels. Shoot: Im pretty cool with
everyone.
Toughest opponent
://
The Man-Beast. Sumbitch broke my neck with a Tiger Driver 91 in Summer
2000, thus ruining the Summer of George I was planning on having.
Then in spring 2001, he gave me an unprotected powerbomb on the floor of the
St. Georges Grade 12 Lounge and broke my back, thus keeping me off the
Provincial Badminton Team. PROVINCIAL FUCKING BADMINTON, MAN!!
Best Partner
://
I believe I wrestled one match with MAKABE as my partner, so I guess him. Ive
never done a lot of consistent tag team stuff, though, so its not really
that relevant a question for me right now. What? I was Tag Team Champions with
the Hillbilly? Whatever.
Most spectacular
match ://
Well, my most spectacular would probably be vs. Chris Mason on 7/2/01 or 9/15/01.
My BEST match would be vs. MAKABE on 7/31/01 or any of numerous matches against
the Man-Beast.
Have you won
any titles ://
Probably gonna sound like a jerk, but Ive pretty much done it all here.
As of 11/18/01 (the date of this interview), I am a 3-time Triple Crown Champion,
a 1-time Canadian Champion, a 1-time Tag Team Champion, and a 1-Time Hardcore
Champion. Now I just have to lose some weight and win the Junior Heavyweight
Title. Also of note: in 2000, I was the sole holder of the long-forgotten VCW
Softcore Title.
Is there anyone
in the fed you haven't rivaled with and want to ://
Maybe the two newer guys: S2K & Crimson Thunder Dragon. Ive pretty
much worked programs with everyone else.
Any Last Comments?
://<
Hmm, last comments, eh? I dunno, maybe Ill just say some general stuff
about VCW. We like to think of ourselves as one of the better backyard feds
out there. Weve seen footage of a lot of other feds, and from what weve
seen, its basically all silly spots with little to no wrestling in between.
We are one of the very few feds who can actually construct solid WRESTLING matches,
and we pride ourselves on that. So, from a professional standpoint, we like
to think that we suck the least.
