>> TNM BASEMENT INTERVIEW WITH SEAN (SEPTEMBER 2000)

In this interview:	
Sean stands for Sean
bAz stands for guess who :-)

bAz: First of all we'll talk about wrestling...How did you actually 
first find out about professional wrestling, and who were your 
favorite wrestlers?

Sean: I watched it since I can remember, my dad used to watch Saturday 
Nights Main events with me as a kid, then my aunt and Uncle would take 
me to Richfield Coliseum to see the WWF come into town. ALWAYS watched 
WWF, didn't see WCW till I first got cable and that was during the 
Vader/Flair feud. Believe it or not I didn't know who Flair was till he 
went to the WWF. Sad but true. Now I have plenty of tapes and know who he is.

bAz: What in your opinion is the best federation in the world?

Sean: Well business wise it's the WWF. ECW 96 was my favorite year of 
wrestling ever! in the last 2 years I became a huge fan of AJPW, but it 
looks to be in bad shape now. I'd stick with WWF. 
 
bAz: Now onto TNM matters...How did you first find out about TNM?

Sean: Back in 1996 Prodigy used to have a file libraries to download and 
TNM was just HUGE! EVERYONE was getting version 6.2 I believe. I tried 
it a couple times and believe it or not I hated it. I thought it was just 
WAY to detailed compared to WLS which was another DOS simulator out at the 
time. WLS always crashed on me so I just stuck it out with TNM and I fell 
in love with it and registered version 7.0 and have all the plugins!
 
bAz: What version did you download?

Sean: 6.2  

bAz: What version did you first register?

Sean: 7  
 
bAz: What made TNM different from any wrestling simulators that you'd seen?

Sean: It didn't crash a lot! I enjoyed the fantasy of it. I liked to run 
ECW promotions but now I'm stuck with my USWA fed that I have been running 
since JULY 9TH 1999! Thats a LONG time to keep a fed going on TNM. 

bAz: What do you think of the recently released Circuit Tweaker?

Sean: I love the tweaker. I use the Heat option a lot. I also use it to make 
longer injuries if I want them. 
 
bAz: What do you think of the Commentary Editor plugin?
 
Sean: Once it works and you can import commentary I'll let you know.

bAz: What do you think of Zeus?

Sean: I downloaded the 1st version and thought it kinda sucked.
 
bAz: What do you think of the FCA Cubed series of plugins?

Sean: I enjoy them when other people make the plugin. I suck at them but 
use Scaffold, Tables and Ladders and Parking Lot matches all the time.
 
bAz: What do you think of the Interview Integrator?

Sean: I use it often. No longer write out interviews but do summaries. 
 
bAz: What do you think is the best TNM7 plugin?

Sean: Tweaker probably.
 
bAz: What would you like to see as the next TNM7 match plugin?

Sean: I'd like to see the Tag Team Royal Rumble. I'm pretty lenient I feel I 
have got my moneys worth as it is. The game will never go old cause you can 
always make new wrestlers. 
 
bAz: Finally we come to the TNM Sites section..What TNM sites do you frequent 
most often?

Sean: TNM7.com usually check the message boards. 
 
bAz: What do you think of the sites that post exports of wrestlers who haven't 
even wrestled? e.g. Midian, "Titan" a.k.a Paul Wight

Sean: I don't use them, but whatever (bAz says "Probably should take out that question!!")
 
bAz: What do you think of the TNM Basement site and newsletter?

Sean: I wish the Newsletter would be a little bit longer, maybe add some 
real articles, but I do enjoy it.
 
bAz: And the last question for today...What do you hope to see in the future for TNM 
and you?

Sean: TNM will be around forever, and I think I'll always play it :-}
