Interview

Hey!

So yesterday this Blog only got 8 hits... 8!! I'll have to do something that this is not happening anymore! Step one would be post this interview that I did for fnlutte.com who's a big deal in France and Canada.

Read away!

1)How did you start wrestling? Were you a wrestling fan as a child?

Now that seems like the standard interview question. And it still gets asked every single time. I wasn't a wrestlingfan as a child. I started because I wanted to travel the world and make money. Which is what I'm doing now. I'm currently in Japan wrestling for Pro-Wrestling NOAH which is the biggest company over here.


2)For you what's the differences and similarities between Chikara, PWG & ROH?

Well they are all wrestling companies, so that's the similarity. Chikara is more Family oriented, PWG is on the west coast and ROH is the number 3 company in the US. Which would be the differences between the companies.
Other differences would be that in CHIKARA you will find a lucha influenced style with many smaller and masked guys. PWG pretty much features a mix of west coast wrestlers and a couple of east cost guys. So it's basically a hybrid and the only big indy group on the west coast. ROH features the creme de la creme of guys who wrestle on the independent circus as well as stars from Japan every now and again.


3)What brought you your travel to Japan and particularly to NOAH?

A whole lot of experience and a new outlook on wrestling. It's a very refreshing experience to wrestle in Japan and it helps me to keep improving.


4)You're one of the few European do this job in the United States. How do you explain this?

I am tremendously talented and was able to move to the US. There are only very few people who can make a living of what I do and I am one of them. That speaks for itself.


5)CZW, Chikara, ROH, you are one of the most popular and requested wrestlers. How far do you think you can go?

The sky is the limit for me. I always set new and higher goals for myself. And we shall see where it takes me!


6)In 2006, you have had an unfortunate experience with the WWE. Have you closed the door or do you think go back in the future?

Now what was so unfortunate about this? I learned and gained a lot from that experience. You always need to see the positive side in life. And why would I close the door like you mentioned? That would be pretty stupid of me and if we learned one thing this far then it's that I'm smarter than the average person.


7)Is there a chance to see again one day the "Kings of Wrestling" together? How did you meet Chris Hero?

As a matter of fact we've been teaming here in japan the last 7 shows and there is one more show to come tomorrow. I met him in Germany when he wrestled there back in 2002 I think.


8)What's the opponent who have you the most impressed in the ring? Who is the guy what you dream to wrestle?

I think I impress every guy i wrestle. Plus everybody who watches me. I'm very impressed with Nigel McGuinnes. He's been the ROH champion for a record time! He has defeated every body for over a year. Hats off to him.
John Cena.


9)Do you think you can win the ROH World Title one day?

Yes, without a doubt.


10)Where does your "Hey" word come from?

Usually from my mouth. Sometimes the fans yell it as well though. It's a word that exist in most languages too.
It's just something I say when I wrestle and it caught on.


11)Your personal wishes for 2009?

Stay healthy, travel more and be successful! Also peace on earth.
