1. If you were a wrestler what would you choose as your finisher(s)?
Sharpshooter
Stiff Lariat
2. How long have you been a fan and do you watch the current product regularly?
I don't watch too much but keep up with results to see if there is anything MUST WATCH. It's really rough to watch more than 15 minutes of raw. Even less than 15 minutes is tough to watch sometimes.
3. If you had to make out with either Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, or Randy Orton who would you choose?
Without a doubt... Randy Orton.
4. Is blood necessary for you to enjoy a really big match between two wrestlers?
Not at all but it doesn't hurt.
5. What was the greatest era for wrestling?
No idea. Probably the 80s when it was at its height but they didn't break kayfabe or do worked shoots.
6. Which NXT rookie would you push to the moon and how?
Don't watch enough NXT to make that call.
7. Is wrestling as an industry dying?
My guess is slowly, but surely.
8. Why don't ticket sales determine if a wrestler is great or not?
At the end of the day, the act runs stale no matter how many tickets you've sold. What else do you have to back it up? As great as Hogan was, people eventually got bored and he was just really fucking bad.
Someone like Shawn Michaels after about 1993 was pretty much always great... never bad. He didn't draw like Hogan but his stuff is just way fucking better.
There's a skill to drawing but drawing isn't the measuring stick of being skilled. A bassist like Vic Wooten is one of the best musicians in the world, but he doesn't draw like Taylor Swift. He's still a better musician than her and is frankly way cooler lol.
This is off the top of my head. I know big meany Destor is big on numbers. But I'm an artistic (re: autistic) sort of guy, and the art is most important.
9. What was the most distasteful moment in all of wrestling for you?
Honestly there's so many. But watching HHH act like he had Ric's best interest at heart when they're covering Reid's death during "Nature Boy" on 30 for 30. Notwithstanding the company used Reid's death as part of a storyline.
That's the most recent to put a bad fucking taste in my mouth.
10. Where were you when you first heard the news about Chris Benoit?
Buddy's house on my birthday. (I'm born June 26th). I was barely even surprised.
11. What is your favorite wrestling video-game and why?
No Mercy. Honestly not a huge gamer. Last system I owned was an N64 and No Mercy was like the pinnacle of that THQ series/style (starting w/ WCW vs NWO).
12. Which person in wrestling did the most with the least amount of talent or potential?
Jinder Mahal LOL. I can't think of anyone with as little talent and potential to be in his position. He can't talk, he's big but not like KABOOM, he can't wrestle, he was a jobber... and then he was champion.
You could say Sable as well. But what she lacked in charisma or...I dunno charm... is her look made her stand out.
Jim Duggan kind of stank too. But you can't say he didn't have tons more potential when he was in Mid-South where he was much better.
13. What makes a 5 star match?
Emotion and Execution.
14. Who is the most over-rated non-wrestler in the business? (Wrestling reporters, bookers, referees, etc)
Stephanie McMahon is the DRIZZLING shits.
15. How would you book the next Wrestlemania if you were just trying to entertain yourself?
Big E vs Braun Stroman (Big E with a proper badass face push)
Heel Shield vs Face Usos and Samoa Joe streetfight
Shinsuke vs AJ for sd title
4 horsewomen MMA vs 4 horsewomen WWE elimination style
Kevin and Sammy vs John Cena and Randy Orton (John would job to Kevin)
Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle for the WWE championship (because I'm being selfish and I think this would be completely short sited but awesome if booked right).
Main Event
Sheamus vs Cesaro best 7 out of 9 falls match
this is a terrible card because I don't care about the current crop of talekn, but better than what they'll probably have booked.
16. Who should be Champion for each belt coming out of Mania?
Probably AJ Styles if they can't figure out how to book Nakamura. Smackdown is bare.
The champ should remain Lesnar until they create someone worthy of beating him (hint: It's not Roman)
17. What was the worst match you cared about in the last decade?
I've barely cared about any matches from the past decade.
18. Who had the best generic gimmick?
What's a generic gimmick?
19. If you were hired to compete with Vince McMahon how would you go about doing that? (Assume comparable funding to the WWE and 1990s WCW)
Just book a more sports/reality based company so when I push big personalities and "crazy" angles they could stand out. Would be difficult though, WWE is now to pro wrestling as kleenex is to tissues.
20. What are your thoughts on part-time wrestlers like the Rock and Lesnar?
If the opportunity to make money is there, take it. They don't need to apologize for anything.
