10 Questions with the King
by SWWF REPORTER
Shawn Zombie
Hell on Earth
Shawn Zombie(SZ): Alright, this is my first interview, and I am here with ShocXwavE?
SZ: How long have you been wrestling?
ShocXwavE(SXE): I had my first taste of wrestling in 1995, but it wasn't really official... I wrestled alongside C.M Punk in a now legit fed in Illinois. Although, what we did would not be considered professional, it was fun & it sowed the seeds for a lot of people in IL & what started here in AZ. For those who don't know, CM Punk is a legend on the independent scene & one of the sports rising young stars, it was pretty cool to have known him then. It was only a summer of 1995, but it was my first taste of performing & it would later spark my desire to return when the SWWF launched down here in AZ. I would consider my official career to have started here in the SWWF since the beginning in January 2002.
SZ: How many matches have you been in?
SXE: I wouldn't consider any of my matches in 1995 official, so I'd say uh, three at Genesis, one at True Colors, one at Dangerous Liaisons, one at Oblivion, two at Tortured Souls and one at Resurrection so, nine as a total.
SZ: Who was your favorite wrestler growing up?
SXE: Owen Hart. He was cool. When I found out he was the Blue Blazer from the late 80's I was impressed with his skill and ability. It saddens me to know that when people hear the name Owen Hart they think of his tragic death & not his ability as a great wrestler FIRST. He was trained by some of the best, which is no wonder my favorite wrestlers were trained by the Hart clan.
SZ: Where did you get your name as a wrestler?
SXE: ShocXwavE, my trademarked name, was orinally used by myself in 1995 & to be honest wasn't going to be my final name, but as I progressed & I thought "Shockwave", sounded cool and I wanted to make it fit me a little more and make it original, my own, so I put in a silent X to replace the K & I had it trademarked & the logo copyrighted. It signifies the explosive nature of my personality. Anger & Pure Psychotic Rage, what ShocXwavE is all about.
SZ: How do you feel about Scar's injury?
SXE: It's a great loss to the SWWF, wrestlers, wrestling fans & those outside of the SWWF are all saddened by what happened. He is a hell of a guy with a lot of talent, and you hate to see anybody get hurt. It's important to be there for him, although at least he can walk, he struggles day to day due to repurcussions from this. We all need to make sure we support him all the way through this & beyond. Personally & professionally, this hurts a lot.
SZ: What about Commissioner Fairday destroying the extreme division?
SXE: I personally wrestled in what could be considered the first ever Extreme or Hardcore or NO DQ Match in the SWWF(SXE vs. One Man Militia Street Fight at True Colors) and I feel it is a good decision made by the Commissioner. I mean, every now and then a gimmicked match is ok, but to have a whole division where people can get hurt that bad isn't a good idea, it doesn't belong here in the SWWF. I have always said that. Of course I blame the nature of the match on my Title Loss, but stupidly, I should have never have signed to compete in that type of garbage of a match. I applaude the Commissioner's decision.
SZ: How do you feel about the progress of the SWWF over the last two years?
SXE: The SWWF's progress is somewhat frustrating, a lot of decisions made early on in the SWWF's existence has made it hard to progress. For example things we are trying to do now should've been done a while ago. I am happy where the SWWF is trying to go now. It is disappointing to see the roster turn over & superstars come and go, but I can guarantee that I will remain here until the end.
SZ: Who should be the new president of the SWWF?
SXE: I think Doc Fairday should step up as the next president of the SWWF. It's only a natural progression. He has earned the right.
SZ: Ok, the big question? Did you yourself do it or did you hire somebody to assassinate [former] President Rushmore?
SXE: No, I had respect for Rushmore. He did the right thing when pushed to do so. Although I got what I needed out of him, why would I eliminate someone who was on my side of thinking? I think the prime suspect has got to be T.M. Playr. He had to be tired of being treated like a buffoon by his fat slob uncle. Maybe Rush got what he deserves. Who knows what ELSE he did to the poor boy behind the scenes? What the SWWF brass needs to do is take my damn name off that suspect list because it's a damn insult to me. I didn't do it. I don't have the mandria. Which means the intention to commit the crime, monkeys.
SZ: Who do you think your next challenger will be?
SXE: Doc Fairday would be a good match. He earned his Title Shot at Resurrection. I'll take on anybody, tho. Bring them all on. I think I proved that I can hold my own against anybody here in the SWWF. But it doesn't really matter, be it Doc, Havok, etc. because nobody stops ShocXwavE, Nobody!!!
SZ: Okay, thanks SXE, that wraps up the first ten question interview, stay tuned sometime soon for another one!
SXE: The pleasure was all yours.
