ES: I always wanted to do it. My Father & my grandfather and myself use to watch wrestling and at 17 years old I started weight lifting and kick boxing and study martial arts
ES: What do you mean Best match or.....
JM: Anything in general for working with WCW
ES: the best part working there was with Billy Kidman and Rey Mystrio they both are the best to work with and the both are on top of each other and I had some of my best matches with them
The worst part was when WCW hit it's financial problems
ES: Okay
JM: What was going through your mind when you did that crazy stunt on top of the 6 sided cage in TNA
ES: To be Honest I was Pissed, Once I got up to the cage I slipped and started to think what should I do, and all I heard was the fans screaming don't do it! don't Die! and than I decided don't look down don't look any where Just do it. And I did it!
JM: WOW! That's Crazy
ES: It was not so much Vince That Ran it to the ground, I remember us being a Family and us as a family we knew all the good times was going to end and even our worst times we were there for each other, we knew it would not be the same ever and I remember how depressed we all were
ES :I did not understand it either, I was kind of upset and they told me that I would be defending it every night and it would be a challenge to keep the title and prove I am worthy to defend the title. And it took me two people to beat me for the title, one was Kevin Nash and the other was umm Mike Sanders and it was a Three way for the Cruiserweight. I remember the match, it was a real good feeling and it was the first time that the Fans showed me support, It meant something
ES: Umm I don't remember it, who did I wrestle?
JM: It was back in September and you Wrestled Frankie K-
ES: OHHHH Frankie Kazarian, Umm it was a little bit Different, I am not about which show is better and which show is worst as long as it is wrestling, I was in so much Pain with my back and I do remember Frankie of course working on my back in the match
JM: Yeah I have a Picture of you in pain holding your back
ES: Yeah, the match was good and the Fans were really live and into it
JM: Yeah they have a pretty strong fan based out in Mckeesport
ES: I do remember it being very Long for like 4 hours
JM: Yeah your right
ES: That's Crazy
JM: I only go to the Show once every couple months
ES: I don't Blame you, that four hours is Grueling WHEW!
JM: (Laughing)
JM: umm I think Sean Levy,
ES: Um no Bill Bain does all my bookings up front and I have shows coming up with Pittsburgh and New Jersey
JM: This one I think is in Maryland
ES: No I have no shows coming up for Maryland, How did you hear about this?
JM: It was a press release on Trash Talking Radio
ES: Really?
JM: Yup
ES: Well, I do have a rope match coming up but not a title on a pole match.
JM: I figured that which is why I ask. I have no idea why they would say something like that on the show
ES: Yeah
ES: At The PPV Me & Kid Romeo wrestled Rey Mystrio,and Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Tag team titles and Rey flipped and
Hit My Shoulder and it went Numb and it was the worst feeling and for Two years I finally did get some feeling back and still I have problems until this day
And I told the doctor you better do something about this because I have a show to do the next night
JM: The Name Game: 10 guys I personally Know you have worked with in the past
Billy Kidman--- OH YES! When I first got in wrestling when I was training at the WCW Power Plant and than I wrestled him, it was like WOW a guy from TV. He is Nice and when we got in the ring, we tore it up, it was on! He is very Professional and genuine I had really good matches with him.
The Cat Ernest Miller: ---- HE IS FUNNY.... really he is, You think he is funny on TV you should see him in the locker room. And it was really good working with him because he had the Marital Arts Background and I also have the same thing, And it was fun working with him, After our Matches we would argue about what we did wrong and it would be funny, He is a Comedian inside and outside the ring
AJ Styles:---- AJ's fun, Every time I work with him it's always in a tag team match........... I would like to work with him more in singles competion.
The PPV Tomorrow it won't be one on one but AJ Does it all and is a very good wrestler, I know he can tear it up
D Lo:
I first met him back in the WWE when we were training and he came down to visit. He really takes Wrestling seriously
he has the mind in the biz, very smart in and out of the ring
Jerry Lynn: ---------Jerry is one of the best, He always does things a million times and if it takes a million times, as long as the fans like it that's all it matter
JM: Which is Good he has the heart
ES: A lot of New guys will come in and say I want to do this off the top rope and stuff like that and Jerry makes sure he does it right for the fans and he has proved it many times
American Most Wanted :---
ES: Which one?
JM: The Tag Team in general,
ES: I don't Know, there OK Outside of the ring. I just want to beat them up, We have great Chemistry in the ring, I will leave it at that , When I get in the ring with them, it's on
Chris Candido: he is okay, I wrestled with him a couple times, I know he has had a lot of problems in the past, I know he is trying
JM: Yeah I heard that he and his wife were having a lot to deal with
ES: OH YEAH drama all the way, Have you met Tammy?
JM: No I never met her I Know who she is and I have seen a picture of her a while back and she did not look like a DIVA and don't get me wrong I am not saying that to be ignorant
ES: OH NO I know, hey your just telling it like it is, but I ran into her in New Jersey and she looks a lot better you should see her now, you would be so proud of both of them. they can say all they want about them but there trying
JM: wow that's good is there any question Tammy might join TNA--Do you know?
ES: umm I don't know, but in this sport Never say Never
Johnny B Badd: He is alright, I have not seen him in TNA for the past couple weeks but he is in Good Shape very Smart in TNA, He is a Nice Guy, He had to make a choice to come back to wrestling
JM: Yeah I know he took like 5 years off
ES: Yeah he did, he was like, it was killing him wrestling every day and than when he took those 5 years off it was killing him that he did not wrestle.
JM: Yeah he has the heart and passion for it and can't help himself
ES: Yeah your right what can I say he is a BADDDDDDDDD MAN!!!!!!!!!
Lance Storm: Lance, Lance, Lance I like Lance! Lance Lance Lance, Very Good Wrestler he reminds me of myself..... He can wrestle BIG or Small other than Rey mystrio, with Lance team Canada Wrestling came FIRST , I was happy he was happy, .and it really was good
JM: And Finally Vince Russo
ES: Um I like Vince I know a lot of People Hate him
JM: I know that why I was like huh? (Laughing)
ES: I love Vince, when us new guys trained at the WCW Power Plant he would come down to visit and talk to us and would be like what are you guys doing here you should be on TV you guys are really good, When we would work on TV he would pull us to the side and work with us. A lot of People point the finger at Vince Russo for the WCW going down but WCW was in financial dispute way before Vince got there. Vince Tried to make a few changes to help WCW but the people don't know and they blame him. but WCW was going down under way before Vince got there! The problem is WCW was throwing money Away but if WCW was still around today We Would be the future of WCW! I have nothing bad to say about Vince
ES: Best Match in my Life was with Kidman on WCW Saturday night and Allen Funk he was known as Kee Wee in WCW
JM: Oh Okay I thought I heard right I was just making sure
ES: Yeah my best Matches with those two Guys
JM: As a young man myself, I dream of breaking into the biz and for all the other young men reading this interview what would your advice be for those and myself dreaming of a break in this sport?
ES: Right now it is a bad time to get in wrestling, I am not saying don't do it but right now it is bad timing. Vince McMahon is on Top of the game. I am not saying that as a bad thing but Vince basically has everything.
JM: Yeah your right I remember as a kid during the Monday night wars that I would flip it back and forth and sometimes record the one and watch the other on TV.
ES: Yes because that's your choice and back than we had choices between the two, if the WWE was boring you, you ed WCW and the other way around and when you record you always can rewind if it does not interest you.
JM: That's Exactly Right
ES: I would say Wrestling is going thought a hard time right now
But if your not watching TNA, you better because TNA Will blow you away so pay attention because TNA will run neck in Neck with the WWE
JM: I was Just about to say that I mean awhile ago they had Chavo's dad & Jacquelyn be a champion as some kind of joke and with the X Division, it's an Honor to hold the title
ES: Your Exactly right. that's what it means your somebody when you hold the title.
