Mad Man Pondo: Two nines, which is 18 total. I would love to wrestle them with my partner Pete Madden.
Seggal: Who trained you to wrestle?
Mad Man Pondo: Myself, which hurt me in the long run. Started with Bud Chapmen, who ran a respected shool. Guys, don't just let anybody train you. Ask
yourself, if I went to a big promoter,and he asked who trained me? Make
sure its someone they respect.
Seggal: What do you think of the big feds today?
Mad Man Pondo: WWF has new stars, WCW is living off old stars and ECW has unrecognized stars of the future. You be your own judge.
Seggal: If WWF wanted to make its hardcore title a real hardcore title what would be the first step?
Mad Man Pondo: Stop holding back Mick Foley.
Seggal: What has been the most extreme match you have seen?
Mad Man Pondo:
Desert Match, cactus and scorpions. Hell no!
Seggal: Whatever happened to the Jenny Jones special?
Mad Man Pondo: On a old episode they had the topic "I don't care what they look like as ong as they have a good personality." So this great looking babe named Shallow came on. It gave the phone number to call if you wanted to
date her.I called and told them "I have a good personality but I wrestle
in barbedwire,glass,thumbtacks,and mousetraps." They said "your perfect
kid." But the girl got a lot of flak for the show so she's not coming
back. So then when they had the WCW guys on there me and Ian was supposed to be there to on Febuary 11th but Ian was in Germany. So now they're going to
do a show on extreme sports and have us on then. Haven't heard back so it is probably not going to happen now.
Seggal: Which hurts more, thumbtacks or mousetraps?
Mad Man Pondo: Thumbtacks. Unless you get mousetrap stuck on your nose.
Seggal: Will hardcore wrestling be banned in the US?
Mad Man Pondo: I hope not, cause I'm not Dean Malenko you know.
Seggal: Where is parts unknown?
Mad Man Pondo: I dont know, but I'm listed from the Realm of Pain. Want to know where that is? Come watch me wrestle.
Seggal: Who has been the most influencial person in your career?
Mad Man Pondo: I would say Cactus Jack Japan tapes.
Seggal: Do you have any final plugs or comments for your fans?
Mad Man Pondo: I will be appearing on REAL TV soon. I have my own T.V. show called Skulltalk, where two heads are better than one. It features wrestling and
half-naked women. I also have a video tape for sale called "Mad Man Pondo and the Women of Skulltalk". If interested e-mail me at
MMP-N-D-HOUSE@webtv.net. Also if promoters would like to e-mail me use the same address.
