Jim Bucko, NinjaPimp Reporter at Large
In an industry that only has a couple hundred professionals, it is upsetting to see that dozens of its young performers die every year from a single sickness.

“You can see it in the eyes…It was a void stare of no emotion whatsoever, no highs, no lows, no feeling…just a question, with no answer… ” says professional wrestler Roddy Piper.

Its victims include the entire Von Erich family, ?British Bulldog? Davey Boy Smith, Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, Dick Dudley, Road Warrior Hawk, Pit Bull #2, the Wall, Rocco Rock, and dozens more. What is this sickness? There is no specific name for it, but it most certainly exists. Professional wrestlers abuse their bodies to make it to the top of the industry, that abuse is part of the sickness.

?To wake up, I use uppers. Then I do some steroids to stay in shape. To kill the pain from the last match, I resort to alcohol, painkillers, and pot. A little cocaine before the show takes the edge off, and sleeping pills put me back to sleep at night.? Says one unnamed wrestler.

In the industry today, none of the major companies enforce anti-drug policies. The WWE and NWA-TNA overlook drug use as long as it doesn?t keep the wrestlers from performing. Some wrestlers even insist that the WWE encourages drug use. ?Although they don?t say how, they expect you to have a bodybuilder?s physique when you are on the road 300 days a year. It?s not possible without chemical assistance.? Says another anonymous source.

Although nothing will ever cure it, the first step towards recovery is understanding that there is a sickness. Once major wrestling promotions understand that there is a problem, then they can start to recover.

Cami, you have an interesting and professional web page. Who does the design?

I do all the design myself…it’s not too detailed, I just use a little web page program and update it nearly every day.

I also noticed that you are on the cover of the movie Vampire Night. What do you think of the film?

It was better than I thought it would be! I was expecting cheesy stuff and it was a spoof on horror films. It was pretty funny. I liked it!

The disclaimer says WARNING: This film contains graphic violence, adult content, a kinky bondage scene, and a lot of biting. Were you involved in any of that?

There was graphic violence and biting in my two scenes… I was also tied up, but I don’t think that’s the bondage scene they are talking about! I’m also in their upcoming film Vampires of Sorority Row II, so I’ll be bitten in that as well.

So, where do you see yourself in ten years? Doing movies, modeling, something else?

Probably not modeling, unless it’s really commercial ad type work. I definitely want to see myself on stage still in 10 years, in musicals. Hopefully doing film, TV, and commercials as well. But I also expect I will have a real job, maybe in entertainment or advertising.

Most internet models and celebrities use a stage name for safety. Is there any reason for the name Cami?

It’s what everyone has called me since I was born, so it’s not really a stage name, though it is not my given name. I prefer not to use my real last name too often though, for privacy.

How have your interactions with fans been?

Basically pretty good. I have a good fan in Norway, one in the UK, one in Canada, and several in the USA. Most are really cool and promote me well! Some try to delve into my real life though to get my home address or full name, and often ask for nude pics or dates. I don’t like that, that is not being a fan, that is being, well, odd.

Can you give an example of some of the weird stuff that might have happened? You know, weird guys asking to date you and stuff.

I’ve had men ask me to be their “travel companion,” escort, and whatnot. Many guys think that since I am a female with photos on the net, I am looking for sex or dates or whatever, and that is not true. I had one mental hospital patient find my business card and call my business number several times demanding photos and that I call him back… that was creepy.

How did you get your start on the internet?

I started using the Net for random stuff in 1995, and then in 1996 I put some acting headshots on the web just to see who might see me. Some photographers asked me to model for them, and I did, and started building a portfolio from there. It sort of snowballed after that, into my own site and everything.

Ok, now what can you share with us that you think that people reading this article might find interesting?

I don’t define myself as a model like many models do. I never had an intention to be a model, but photographers wanted to shoot me. I don’t think of myself as a “model” even though a ton of people do.

Do you have anything for sale on your site?

Currently I have several 8x10s for sale, autographed to the buyer. very soon I will have an 8.5×11 calendar with 2 photos on it for sale autographed, as well as a non-nude but sexy amateur video.

I’ll ask you 5 random fun questions. Are you ready?

What was your favorite 80′s tv show?

Good question! Little House on the Prairie.

If you had a superpower, what would it be?

To be invisible so I could eavesdrop on important stuff and check out my competition during auditions!

What is the greatest state and why?

Well, not Florida. It has to be California or Hawaii. California because you can literally find any class or style of living here, from yuppieville to family suburbs to big city to forever-college towns. Hawaii because it’s almost always warm, humid, with clean air and beaches – a BIG plus for me.

Mr. T or the Terminator, who would win in a fight and why?

Terminator. He has a harder body.

What is the last thing you did before doing this interview?

Drank a girly beer and made a copy of a CD I downloaded all the songs from Napster…

Well, thank you for your time. I hope you have a great evening.

ANYTIME!!!

Bruce Santee is known by many as the best wrestler in the state of Florida.  He’s a no-brainer future TNA or WWE star.  Personally, Bruce is one of my favorite indy workers.  He possesses the athletic ability and the personality that makes him stand head and shoulders above his peers.  Let’s see what he has to say in this interview.

Thanks for doing this interview with www.MarcusPitt.com. How are you doing today?

Fan- freakin – tastick there SnowMan.

Can you tell us a little about yourself? What is your name? Where do you wrestle? What basic height and weight or other stats would you like to share?

Well if you don’t know by now, I am “The Marquee” Bruce Santee. I am 6’4”, and currently weighing in at 255 lbs..

How can a promoter book you, and in what areas do you primarily wrestle?

I primarily try to stay local, Central Florida area. I work a very mentally draining job during the week, so I like to enjoy my weekends, and not have to travel. I may venture back out this upcoming year, if the price is right. I can be contacted for bookings via Facebook , or bruce.santee@yahoo.com

How did you break into wrestling? Who trained you, and what was your first year like?  Maybe tell us a bit about Dudley Dudley.

I originally began training with the Bushwhackers back in 1999. I learned the basics from them, however, stopped training to become an officer of the law. I eventually got over that retarded a$$ cop kick, and resumed training in 2000. At that time I trained with LeRoy Howard (Navy Seal/ Rastaman) and Jeff Bradley (Original Dudley Dudley) , among others. Training was brutal… very old school. Drills, Hindu Squats, Pushups, more drills… I was pushed beyond my limits..

We would learn certain “moves”, what situations to apply them in, and how to tell a story with the said move. Jeff and Leroy were great at that.

LeRoy also took the time to show me and several others many “legit” submissions, striking, etc. When people hear you are a “wrestler”, they always want to “try you”. LeRoy always said if someone tries you, and then subsequently works you over, it will be embarrassing not only to yourself, but to the business as well. Never go out and look for trouble, but if the trouble finds you, you need to be able to take care of business. Having 7 years of Amateur wrestling experience, the “shooting” was my favorite part of training.

Most importantly, they taught us to RESPECT and PROTECT the business. When you are green, you should be the first one to arrive to the venue, and the last one to leave. You should help with set-up and tear down, even if you are not on the show. If you are in the locker room, and all the seats are taken, and a VET shows up, you should be the first one to give up your chair for them. They paved the way for you! That is how you get booked… You must earn your way in.

Unfortunately a lot of the young kids coming up never learned that. There isn’t much respect in this area anymore.

Who do you enjoy wrestling the most?

Guys that always bring the best out of me, in no particular order: Vordell Walker, Erick Stevens, Jon Davis, Kory Chavis, Francisco Ciatso, Eddie Taurus, Sedrick Strong, Sam Shaw, and I am sure there are a few more. All the aforementioned guys can take it and dish it right back. I would get in the ring with any of them on any given day.

What are the biggest names that you have wrestled?

It depends on what you consider a “name”? I guess if you want to go “Mainstream”, then Jerry Lawler, CM Punk, MVP, 75 percent of the current TNA Locker room, and Frankie Capone.

So can you tell us about any injuries you have had that are wrestling related?

Torn Rotator Cuff in both shoulders, meniscus tears in both knees, several concussions, bruised ribs, sprained MCL, herniated disks, tendonitis in every joint, and a broken pinky toe.

What wrestlers did you enjoy watching as a kid? Did you use them as role models in your career?

I know most guys in this business had a wrestler they looked up to as a kid, I honestly didn’t really. I guess I used to like Hercules Hernandez because he was a friend of my uncle’s.. Other than that, I just watched for the entertainment. Once I became older, I started becoming a fan of guys.

I would have to say one of my all time favorites is Booker T. He always looks like he is having fun in the ring, playing heel or face. That is what I try to radiate to the crowd. I am in the ring, sweating, in my underwear, beating up another sweaty man, in his underwear, in a totally HeteroSexual way, and having a good time doing it.

I like to compare my in-ring style to JBL, with a bit more athleticism. I like to brutalize people… Beat them down! When you see a Bruce Santee match, you KNOW you are watching a fight!

My current favorite (and I am probably the only male over the age of 12 to say this) is Cena. People can $hit on his “in ring” ability all they want, but the way he connects with the crowd is unreal. Love him or hate him, people want to watch him. I believe he is the ONLY ONE left that brings that “true emotion” back to the sport, which has been missing for way too long. He knows how to draw money, and I think, at this point, the WWE would be in a LOT OF TROUBLE without him.

Do you have any websites or upcoming events you would like to promote?

Check me out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/brucesantee.

I can be found locally (Tampa Bay Area) wrestling several times a month for FU Wrestling at Gasoline Alley Tuesday nights in Largo, Florida. In the Central Florida Area, Vintage Wrestling’s show of the year, WrestleBrawl II, January 15, 2011 at the Sanford Salvation Army in Sanford Florida. . I may be popping up again in South Florida and several other places here in the next few months…

We also run a website called www.Wrestling911.com. Have you been there? If so, what do you think about it?

Yes, I am sure I speak for most of the other workers in saying we appreciate what you do with the website in promoting Florida Wrestling.

Is there anything else you would like to talk about?

I would like to talk about all the naughty things I wanna do to that bitch KE$HA…….

Well, who wouldn’t.  Thank you for your time.

Mason Raige Interview – Afro-Squad Exclusive
by the SnowMan

The first word that springs to mind when one sets eyes on Mason Raige is inevitably – “power.” Standing six feet four inches tall, and 263 lbs of solid muscle, it’s not difficult to see why he is known as professional wrestling’s premier powerhouse.

Mason how are you doing today? I’m doing very well, thanks.

So, where do you wrestle? Wherever the wind takes me. How’s that for philosophical? I’m currently based in Louisville, Kentucky, so I wrestle here in the area. I’m also wrestling in Indiana, Chicago, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, etc. Since you asked, I’m currently accepting bookings, so any promoters who are looking for an added attraction, get in touch with me!

Are there a lot of good wrestling videos of you online? If so, where can we find them. They’re all on my site, www.masonraige.com We’ll be adding some new videos very soon as well, so be sure to check them out. I have some excellent people working on my site, specifically NZPWI Editor Kirsty Quested. She’s top notch and does a great job. My video editor, Marion Velocci, is also extremely talented. Definitely take a look at the 40+ videos we have posted. More are on the way as well.

As you know, Afro-Squad does a lot of wrestling videos. You can find them by visiting our MySpace page and clicking on the videos link. Is there a chance you’ll be wrestling in Florida where we can tape you? I don’t have any upcoming dates in Florida, but I’d love to wrestle there. Like I said, Florida promoters, get in touch with me. You won’t be disappointed! And then we can make some exciting videos.

So how tall are you and how much do you weigh? I’m 6’3 out of wrestling boots and weigh between 255 and 260. If you catch me on a good eating day, it might be a bit more.

We saw you do a one handed gorilla press. That was fantastic. We’ve never seen that before. Is that a regular move for you? Thank you. I do my best to be innovative. I’ve actually seen one or two guys try to copy it, but it’s never as good as the original! There’s nothing worse than carbon copy wrestlers, which we seem to see a lot of these days. I do try to get in the one-handed press when I can. It’s always a possibility when you see Mason Raige in action.

How much do you max? What does a typical bench workout look like for you? My training these days is very systematic and is more about reps and burn than actual poundage. And you should know that the bench press does not measure one’s real strength. But since you asked, I have benched over 400 pounds when I was lifting heavier and have done over 500 pounds for forced reps with a sturdy spot. Now, I’ll work up to the 315 area, sometimes more, sometimes less. But like I said, it’s never about the weight. It’s about how hard one works.

When you hit the gym, what types of things do you really enjoy? What stuff do you usually avoid? Funny you should ask. I enjoy writing and wrote a piece on gym etiquette. I’ll attach it here:

Gym Etiquette

Some of the most bizarre and interesting people can be found in gyms across the country. In my tenure as a weightlifter, I have come across a slew of freaks, geeks, and weirdos. Here are some tips on how to behave in a gym and, more importantly, how to keep away from the oddballs.

1. If you sweat like a pig, carry a towel with you. There is nothing more disgusting than a pool of sweat left on a machine by some sweaty slob. If I’m waiting for a bench, there’s nothing I want to see less than a sweaty outline of your carcass. What kind of person does this?

2. Talk to as few people as you can. People who go to gyms frequently are lonely souls and look to establish relationships with anyone who will make eye contact. Pick a spot on the wall, or stare down at the floor. Better yet, wear a hat and pull it down over your eyes. It may sound anti-social, but you’ll thank me later.

3. Don’t spend 45 minutes on a machine or a bench. Nothing irks me more than some moron who says he has 15 sets left when I ask if he’s almost done. 15 sets, huh? How’s that marathon weightlifting working out for you, you fool? How about I take my size 15 and kick your teeth down your throat?

4. Wear clothes that fit you. Just because they make spandex in your size doesn’t mean you need to wear it. Sweats or shorts and a t-shirt work so well, so why do so many wear outfits that draw attention to their cellulite and low-hanging guts? And pal, there is no reason for those shorts to be as tight as they are. It looks like you’re smuggling plums in your shorts.

5. If at all possible, avoid flexing in the mirror. Hey, we all do it at home, but give me a break if you’re flexing in the gym. I’ve seen Mr. Olympia contestants flex less during a contest than one of these social outcasts. Oh, and to the guys who pull up their shirts in front of the mirror to flex their often non-existent abdominals: not only do you not impress anyone, but you are also really embarrassing yourself…a lot.

6. Invest in a really good Walkman…is that term outdated now or what? One of my best investments was my IPOD. Not only does it protect me from inane conversations and lurking losers who want to ask how I built my delts (if I had a nickel for every time I was asked a fitness question in the gym, I’d have a lot of nickels), but I have over 1300 songs that set the tone of my workout. Tones range from intense to ultra-intense to get the hell out of my way to Mason Raige is in the house! If the tone is Raige, a lot of poundage is going to be moved, so stay on your toes. They say that music soothes the most savage beast, but my IPOD is responsible for just how animalistic my workout will be.

7. Lift what you can handle. So many morons want to impress the gym rats and stack weights on the bar that they couldn’t lift if they had two friends on either side of the bar plus a big, big bowl of Wheaties right before they came to the gym. It’s been said a million times, but it’s not how much you lift; it’s what you do with the weight you’re lifting. Whenever someone asks me what my max is, I know right away that I’m talking to someone who is either a buffoon or knows nothing about weightlifting. Sometimes it’s a buffoon who knows nothing about anything, so I generally just walk away using a very brisk pace.

8. This one is simple: if you want to practice your pick-up lines or carry on deep, meaningful conversations, go to a Starbucks or to a club. You don’t belong in the gym, and nobody likes you.

9. Working out in jeans, sandals, shorts with dress socks, shorts with dress shoes, or a sweater makes you look like a real clown. Workout attire is quite affordable, so invest in some.

10. If you’re one who walks around like you’re carrying suitcases, you are a jackass. Flailing your arms outward and pretending your lats are much more developed than they are is fooling nobody, and, believe me, many people are laughing at you. I met Dorian Yates, who is easily one of the most freakish bodybuilders in history, and his arms didn’t flail as much as some of the yahoos I see in the gym. Walk like a human and not an ape. That shouldn’t be too hard to remember.

What are your thoughts on supplements? When you go to a store like GNC, what do you stock up on? I’m pretty basic when it comes to supplements. A good protein powder should be the staple for anyone. I’m a big fan of Gaspari products like SuperPump and SizeOn. MuscleTech Products are really good as well. I usually try different products and will continue to use something if it works well. A pre-workout Speed Stack is always nice. My favorite supplement though is InStone chocolate pudding. I can’t get enough of that stuff!

What are your thoughts on pain killers? I am sure there are times where you are in pain. What’s the best way to fight pain? Pain is a big part of wrestling, but I’m not one who takes pills. I usually don’t even take Advil if I have a headache. I’ve always been that way and luckily have always been healthy. I do know a lot of people who have had problems with pill addictions, which is another reason why I don’t go that route. However, I don’t have an addictive personality, so I would take medication properly if prescribed I guess. But there’s a big difference between use and abuse with anything, especially controlled substances.

What are your thoughts on steroids and HGH? I’ll go on record now and say I’m probably the least educated wrestler when it comes to steroids and HGH. I truly know nothing about them. They’re just not for me. I live a healthy lifestyle and have been blessed with good genetics and an excellent work ethic, so I steer clear of drugs of any kind. The way I figure it is that as long as there are giants in wrestling over 7 feet tall and over 400 pounds, why should I risk my well being to add 15-20 pounds of muscle? Will it really make that much of a difference? I’ll be fit and in the gym until the day I die, so I’ve chosen the best path for me. However, I’m not casting dispersions on those who use performance-enhancing drugs. To each his own.

Do you think wrestling could exist today without the use of illegal pain killers, alcohol, and steroids? Are you saying that drugs are what make wrestling what it is? That’s a silly question. Wrestling is built upon athletics, storylines, and larger-than-life characters. Although it seems as if drugs are running rampant in wrestling, people have to remember that each athlete makes his own choices in life.

Who have been your most well known opponents? Working down in OVW has afforded me the opportunity to be in the ring with some of today’s top WWE stars and future stars I’ve also been up to Raw and Smackdown a few times and have worked out with a lot of very popular stars.

How long have you been wrestling? January will be five years. I stepped into the ring for the first time in January 2003.

What are some of your biggest matches? As long as there are people in the seats, every match is a big match. Wrestling the Dudley Boyz in Long Island’s NYWC was a big match in front of a very large crowd. Honestly, too many to list. All are important at the time, and then it’s on to the next one.

What do you love about wrestling? Unfortunately, most of what I love no longer is seen. I loved the larger-than-life characters, the slow and methodical feud builds, and the storytelling that went on both inside and outside of the ring. I loved Piper’s Pit, Hulkamania, the Superfly Splash, the short promos in the corner of the screen during a match, and the banter between Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. Wrestling captivated me as a young kid and drew me in deeper than I could’ve ever imagined.

What was your biggest (or one of your biggest) mistake(s) in wrestling? Probably starting too late in my life. A lot of guys start in their early teens, but I didn’t get started until later. However, I went to college, got a BA, then earned an MA and etched out a great career as an English teacher before even stepping in a ring. Although I started a bit late, I brought a lot of life experience and intellect into the ring. Some wrestlers can’t even spell intellect!

What injuries have you had? Thankfully, nothing too serious. My worst injury was a torn adductor muscle that kept me out of action for almost five months. It was extremely painful, and I kept aggravating it until I took off the time to heal.

Have you ever injured anyone? If so, how? Isn’t that the goal of any fight? I don’t understand the question. Any time my hand is raised and my opponent is sprawled out on the canvas, I’d assume he’s injured. (No, I’ve never injured anyone, thank God).

Is there anything you would like to promote? Maybe a website, promotion, or t-shirt… Of course! Check out www.masonraige.com There are photos, videos, writings, and great merchandise like $10 t-shirts, DVDs, hats, and even watches! I’m all about the merch! Quality merch!

Is there anything else you would like to talk about? Sure, let’s talk more about me. Mason Raige. The Modern Day Man of Steel. Pro Wrestling’s Premier Powerhouse. Keep your eyes on me as I plan to do big things in the wrestling business. YOU CAN’T CAGE THE RAIGE!

Thanks for your time. My pleasure. You guys keep up the good work! Long live Afros!

Reality Ryan, AKA GQ Money Interview
Exclusively by The NinjaPimp

GQ, please tell us a little bit about yourself.
Well, I grew up in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago always a wrestling fan. My mom got me into wrestling, and I used to watch it on TV with her, and also go to live shows with her as well. I was a high school wrestler, and captain of my team junior and senior year. I have two gold medals in international freestyle wrestling competition, as I competed in the 1992 Maccabi Games which is like a Jewish Junior Olympics. I went to college at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and once I graduated I started pursuing my career in professional wrestling. I’ve been on a reality show, been a finalist in a contest to become the Los Angeles weather man and I’m one incredibly good looking guy.

Where have you wrestled?
I got my start in Denver, CO. I was brought in to help start an indy with a man named Dan Magnus and Bobbye Black. We had great success starting the CWO, an organization that drew large crowds (more than 10-times as many people as any indy that ran in the area) and had great media exposure. As the CWO ran its course, I moved out to Los Angeles to work with XPW. I climbed my way up the ranks there (both on screen and behind the scenes), until XPW ran it’s course and then I moved out to Nashville to work with TNA. I moved back to CA where I’m now involved in the MTV Wrestling Society X project. I have wrestled in CA, PA, NC, AL, TN, GA, SC, CO and a few other states as well.

What did you think of XPW?
XPW was the best! I loved it. I loved our renegade vibe, the hatred by the critics and the no rules mentality. We said what we wanted, did what we wanted and let nobody tell us we couldn’t do something. There were no rules, no boundaries and no limits. I was allowed to explore my creativity and come up with ideas that no other wrestling company would ever think of doing. XPW got a bad rap, but if you really watched it, it was a really good product. The TV-show was hysterical, and the intensity at live shows was incredible. Everybody put us down, but there isn’t a fed out there that offered what we did. People were just haters, but that was fine with us.

Can you tell us a little bit about some of the guys in XPW? Maybe Pogo or Supreme.
All the guys were cool at the time. We all got along and just had a great time being part of a company that was different. Pogo was a nice guy, but could be intimidating as well. I wrestled him once and I was scared shitless. The match was great though, and was an awesome display of a little man getting tossed by a big man. Hell, I got bieled (beeled) (sp?) from one turnbuckle clear across the ring to the other. It was sweet! Supreme was cool, but you knew when you were working with him it was time for business. I remember doing a segment for XPW-TV where Supreme came into my balloon shop office (yes, I ran GQ Balloons for a while) and beat the crap out of me. That was stiff, and it was rough, but it was cool. It made for good TV.

What is your favorite match?
Raw Sewage aka the 30-foot sh!t bomb. In XPW if I wrestled (as opposed to managing) it was always against Angel. We had a great feud and one of our highlight moments was in a match where he sidewalk slammed me off a 30-foot tower into a kiddy pool of raw sewage which was on a stack of two tables. That match was fun, and so was the Genocide cage match. Once again Angel and I ended up high above the ground, this time 20-feet up on a rickety home made cage that we thought was going to collapse. I tossed him off, and then jumped off the cage with a 20-foot cross body on top of him, and the security guards who were checking up on him.

Is there anyone that you don’t get along with?
Then, no! Now, oh yeah. My former best friend Kaos and I don’t talk at all. He fucked me over big time when we moved to Nashville and I will never forgive him for that. Also Smokey Carmichael (a friend from Colorado who I brought into XPW) who also fucked me over when we moved to Nashville. The pricks moved out without saying anything, without leaving a note or making a phone call, nothing. And this was the day before rent was due. Fuck them!

What do you think of Rob Black?
Rob is a great guy and is very misunderstood. He’s always been good to me and allowed me to do what I do best, perform. If you get to know the real Rob black he’s a good guy. The public persona, well, that could be rough. The persona is an asshole, the person is not.

How did you get the name GQ Money?
The 1st XPW show I went out to see I was sitting in the bleachers pre show with my buddy The Giant (not WWE’s) watching the set up and just checking things out. Lizzy Borden came up to me and said, “You must be GQ Money” and that was that. I hated the name, thought it was too cliché, but it’s cool. The funny thing, back when I was a kid my rap name was GQ as well.

Where can people learn more about you?
www.realityryan.com

What do you think of Ninjapimp.com?
It’s a fun site with great interviews.

Have you checked out our Afrosquad page?
Oh yeah. It’s a well known fact that if I could grow an afro I would. I’m funkdafied, fortified and amplified to the next level!

What about wrestling as an evil pimp?
The GQ Money character had a little bit of an evil pimp vibe, especially once I got to Philly and blended the original GQ Money persona with the Ultra Violent GQ Money persona. I was almost involved with a pimp and ho wrestling fed once but it didn’t work. In college we threw a 40oz pimp and ho party where my band The Electric Manny Schevitz played… It was tight. I also made a TV commercial for a school project for “Playboy Malt Liquor” because “Pimpin’ Aint’ Easy.” Oh yeah!!!!

Do you think there is a problem with drug use in wrestling?
The only problem is when individual people abuse the drugs and can’t use them responsibly. Taking pain pills for pain is fine… Taking 26 pain pills for pain is not! Do people do drugs? Sure they do. I never had first hand experience with anyone who had a problem, but drugs are always around. I think that’s the case with any aspect of the entertainment business. It’s part of the lifestyle.

Who is the most beautiful woman in wrestling?
Hands down, nobody holds a candle to indy, XPW and Wrestling Society X wrestler Valentina (J Love).

What is the most insane thing you saw in XPW?
Supreme catching on fire after I gave him a diamond cutter from the top rope threw a flaming table! He got burned bad, and spent a couple of days in the hospital. I felt so bad, even though it wasn’t my fault. I was involved in the “stunt” so I just had this enormous feeling of guilt. Supreme’s kid never liked me after that, but I couldn’t blame him? As far as he knew I torched his dad. The craziest thing was I had to go on TV week after week and brag about it.

What was it like to be behind the scenes over there?
A whole lot of fun. It was a fantastic 2.5 years of my life. At the same time as working there, I was also touring the country doing stand up comedy with Ron Jeremy, so it was a pretty fun time! Ob and I always clicked creatively and came up with crazy ideas. He wasn’t afraid to try something different, and neither was I. Kevin (Kleinrock) and (White Trash Johnny) Webb were always the voices of reason, while me and Rob were always like, “Why can’t we do that? This is wrestling, there are no rules!”

Do you have anything to ask us, the writers of ninjapimp?
You ever been anally probed by an alien named Zolorp? Have you ever drank sheep’s milk straight from the sheep’s teet? Have you ever had the urge to urinate on yourself while waiting in line at the movies?

Any parting words?
Smoke and mirrors!!!

Well thanks for your time.
Anytime.

Killer Kowalski Jr.
With SnowMan

Killer, how are you doing today? I’m doing great, thanks for asking.

Can you tell our fans about the relationship you have with your father? Is Killer Kowalski Sr. a blood relative? We have great relationship. I’m just like him in the ring, so don’t piss me off. I just might tear your ear off.

I guess one of the first things we need to talk about is your size? How tall are you? How much do you weigh? I’m 7 feet 2 inches tall and weight 288 lbs!

When did you break into wrestling? I started my training in 1997, and had my first match about 4 month’s after I started. I picked it up quite fast. I was a natural. How could I not be?

Are you an active wrestler? If so, can you tell us a little about what you are up to now-a-days? Where do you wrestle? Yes I try to wrestle 2 or 3 times a summer, but I’m getting back into shape and I’m currently looking for more work, so if anyone is interested they can contact me through email at kowalskijr@yahoo.com

What did you do before you got into wrestling? Tried playing college basketball at Syracuse University, but I got injured said to heck with it. I went to work at UPS which is where I’ve been for 24 years.

Who are your favorite opponents? Larry Zbyszko. We had a great match last time we wrestled down in Virginia. King Kong Bundy, Tony Atlas,Barry Hardy were great. I also teamed-up with Nicolai Volkoff!

Have you seen our site www.afro-squad.com? If so, what do you think of it? I think it’s a fantastic site! You have a lot interesting interviews! Once I started reading the interviews, I couldn’t stop! In fact once I’m done with this interview, I’m going right back to reading some more from your site!!!

Can you tell us about your Dad’s wrestling school? He now trains at the Chaotic wrestling school. The building in Malden MA. where the school was located has been torn down; too bad, there was a lot of history in that old building.

What are some of your hobbies? Working out. Keeping in shape. Playing poker.

What are your thoughts on the death of Chris Benoit? Never knew him, it’s a very sad situation.

What are your thoughts on steroids in wrestling? I don’t use them, and I don’t want to use them.

What would you change about the wrestling industry if you had the chance? I would bring it back to the kayfabe era,

Is there anything in particular that you would like to talk about? Nope.

Thanks for your time and good luck in your future. Thank-you
