RR: "Welcome Mark."
MM: "It's good to be here, Ryan. Welcome to the SWWF."
RR: "It's great to be a part of the SWWF. I don't want to waste any time here. Please tell me so I can tell all of the fans out there, WHAT IS SWWF RAMPAGE?"
MM: "Drumroll.....SWWF RAMPAGE is NOT A LIVE EVENT, however SWWF RAMPAGE will be a near 30 minute television program to air on Cable Access in the next month."
RR: "Do you have an exact date?"
MM: "We hope to have our first program aired by the end of February, early March at the latest."
RR: "Where & when?"
MM: "From what I was told, U.S. West cable channel 23 & Cox Cable 24, but I will tell all the fans now, that I believe it is
Channel 98. Not having access to it myself, that sucks, but I will get the channels straight when we announce the time.
To be on the safe side, content wise, we will probably be airing between the hours of 12am midnight-2am.
The exact day of the week has yet to be determined, but it's only a matter of time now.
RR: "Any plans for video?"
MM: "It's funny you said that. Actually, I know a lot of fans have satellite dishes, myself included, so in order to please all fans,
we will be offering the 1st 4 shows on video tape & see how they do.
Because of the time & effort going into each one, we will have to charge, but believe me, it will be worth it."
RR: "What can we look forward to on the programs?"
MM: "You will see all of your favorite SWWF Superstars on a weekly-bi-weekly basis.
Because of the nature of the show & it only being a half an hour long, there will be some rotating to fit everyone in."
RR: "New stars?"
MM: "How about you?"
RR: "Really funny..."
MM: "You have already seen the profiles of some new SWWF talent. With more to come.
They are the SWWF Rookies. The fans will decide their success. They will let us know if we made the right choices."
RR: "They are the product of the SWWF Compound?"
MM: "Yes, they have trained at the SWWF Compound."
RR: "I have heard rumors of highlights & airing of old SWWF Matches."
MM: "Yes, they are being edited as we speak, you will see probably one a week until new 1st run matches are filmed."
RR: "Cool. When can we expect that?"
MM: "The studio is being built, so it may take some time. I ask the fans to have some patience with us.
I promise we will have some interesting developments in the meantime.
It will be a trip. We will make some mistakes, but stick with us, it'll be a fun ride."
RR: "Any suprises?"
MM: "Heh. You know I wouldn't tell you..."
RR: "Had to try. Anyone NOT returning?"
MM: "All the fans have to remember that if they are on the website, they are a part of the SWWF,
but if their status is not ACTIVE, then it will be highly unlikely they will be a part of the new program. It's only fair.
If the fans clamor for a return, it may still not be possible, but we will exhaust every possible option to please the fans.
The show will be shaped by the fans & molded by their feedback. So let us know what you like & dislike,
that's the only way for us to get better."
RR: "Any Live events on the horizon?"
MM: "I sincerely apologize to all the fans, but in the state of the industry & the financial state of the SWWF,
it may be a while before the SWWF is ready to run a live event again.
Part of the reason we are soliciting sponsors is to get the financial means for us to run consistently. The SWWF has to take care of itself,
not out of the pocketbook of one human being. It's just not feasible or possible anymore.
I will say this right now & that is if you are a sponsor & want to make donations toward the show, please e-mail us at
sponsors@swwfwrestling.com
Currently there is 15 second spots at the end of the show open to 4 to 5 sponsors, tops.
You would help us by your support & we are looking for all interested parties for discussion. Please drop us a line as soon as possible."
RR: "Cool. R.M. Pit, explain?"
MM: "Tune in. All I have to say."
RR: "Music?"
MM: "If you like Blynd Syte, you're gonna love the show. Any fans of the SWWF that know or are a part of a
band looking for exposure, you can contact us at
music@swwfwrestling.com
& it is a matter of a legal release. If a band can do covers of SWWF Theme songs,
you are valuable right off the bat. We encourage anyone interested to e-mail us for further discussion."
RR: "What's this about the INTERREGIONAL Title?"
MM: "This is a work in progress. I was always a huge fan of the Intercontinental Title. What hardcore WWF fan my age wasn't?
Since it conceivably makes no sense to call our title an Intercontinental Title,
I suggested the INTERREGIONAL. There is a sense of homage in the title & it will be a serious title, believe me.
It will take a while to debut. Once the studio is built, there will be a 16-Man Tournament to determine the winner.
It may take a while to see the winner, but this will be no cake walk for the Champion. He'll have to earn it."
RR: "Any other titles?"
MM: "Heh. Loco Division may one day get rolling. There is plans. Ask me that one later.
I know your next question is about the Women's, & the answer to that is wait & see.
We will not oversaturate our program or Federation with Titles. A TV Title has been batted around, but it's existence would be at the cost of the INTERREGIONAL
& right now we're sticking with the INTERREGIONAL. We'll revist the title decision later."
RR: "I know there will be more questions, but right now I'll leave you alone. Do you have any closing comments?"
MM: "I just want to tell all the SWWF Fans out there how much we appreciate each & every one of you.
Trust me, this is not possible without the love & admiration of the greatest fans here in AZ. We hope to give you 100% every time out & our show will be no different.
This will be done right. However, everyone has to remember that we are not WWE. We don't have their pocketbook & thus the show will not resemble SMACKDOWN or RAW.
However, what we do promise is creative strorylines & angles & entertaining wrestling & skits.
I have always referred to the SWWF as Sports-Entertainment since day one. Because believe it or not, we are here to entertain.
Everyone on the roster has the responsibility in any forum to put out the best performance or show possible. SWWF RAMPAGE will be no different.
The SWWF returns with the debut of Rampage. Some stuff may not stick, but we hope no matter what happens, the fans are patient with us, but most of all entertained.
Everyone in the SWWF will be pushed to deliver & the fans have every right to expect the best out of us.
We are up for the challenge. As the Legendary Stan Lee says..."Stay tuned True Believers."
RR: "Stay Tuned indeed. Thank you very much for your time Mark."
MM: "Thank You, Ryan. My Pleasure."
