1. How have you been doing since we last talked?

Things have been going great, both wrestling-wise and otherwise. I've made the most of my summer off from college, and have had my busiest wrestling year yet. I've worked for a ton of new groups this year, and feel as though I've improved a great deal as a wrestler. It's just been a great, great summer as far as wrestling goes.

2. What was your last trip to the Maritimes like?

Gosh, far too fleeting. I had a wonderful time seeing all the guys again, but the whole trip felt like it was over in a heartbeat. Skott Phoenix and I had a decent match, but not nearly as good as our most recent affair. The drive was awful, and the whole trip was performed on very, very little sleep. It was Nickolas Santone's first time working for MSW, which made things extremely interesting, indeed.

3. Is there a place called Crab Apple Cove in Maine? [M*A*S*H’s Hawkeye’s character hometown]

You got me. Personally, I've never heard of it or driven through it, but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's such a lame-sounding town, I'm shocked that NWH hasn't run a show there.

4. Freddy VS Jason… who would win?

Jason Alexander would likely kick Freddy Mercury's ass, considering Mercury is dead. Dumb question.

5. Which is cooler to play Mario Bros or Duck Hunt?

Mario Brothers, easily.

6. Do you think another promotion could pop in the Maine?

Yeah, of course. Right now there's New Wrestling Horizons, Rampage Pro Wrestling, Atlas Championship Wrestling, and Chaotic Wrestling (kind of), as well as the numerous promotions that run fair shows and fund raisers in Maine once a year. In New England, there's always far too many promotions running at a given time, and new ones pop up seemingly every friggin' week. It won't be long before some other idiot with no actual knowledge of the wrestling business starts running crappy shows in Maine.

7. Do you think NWA-TNA could become a serious threat to WWE in 5 years time?

No. Unless they seriously rethink the way they're doing things, I don't believe NWA-TNA will exist in five years time. Honestly, though, in five years time I don't believe WWE will be the huge, all-powerful company that it currently is.

8. Has their ever been anyone you saw on TV or even saw live that made you think, "What the hell are they doing in a wrestling ring?"

Oh gosh, yes. On the indy circuit, there are hundreds of guys like that in New England alone. As far as the "big leagues," guys like Nathan Jones, most of the Tough Enough winners, and several others leave me shaking my head in utter disbelief.

9. Do you think wrestling will become a force like it was in 1998-2000?

Someday, yes, of course. But only after a hideous dry spell, and likely following a massive breakdown/reconstruction of the business from the ground up. If fans think that wrestling is in a "down period" now, just wait and see how much worse it can--and will--become.

10. What is your favorite wrestling title of all time?

As far as the actual title lineage, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was the greatest title the world will ever know, in my eyes. As far as the actual title belt itself, the famous "Hogan 86" belt tops my list.

11. Do you think that there is a serious drug problem in wrestling today?

Of course. Unfortunately, it will never get the proper attention that it deserves, and guys will continue to drop like flies.

12. Who do you think is the next indy wrestler to become a standout star?

It's hard to say, because I'm not totally sure what the market is going to look like in a few years. Paul London is one with all the tools, and the proper pedigree.

13. Where do you see yourself in five years?

Teaching high school, and still wrestling each and every week, with significantly more muscle mass.

14. If you were a promoter, who would be the first person you would want in your promotion?

If you're talking a promotion on my level, in the indies, I'd likely start with "Movie Star" Michael Monroe. If you're talking a national promotion to go head-to-head with WWE, and I could take anyone I pleased, I'd start with either Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, or Eddie Guerrero. If my options were guys not under WWE contract, then I'd likely go with Reckless Youth.

15. What is your opinion on backyard wrestling?

It infuriates me that those clowns actually refer to themselves as pro wrestlers, and think that they do the same thing I do, and others like me do. It just pisses me off. There's a group of backyarders in Bangor, Maine, that don't seem to get why what they're doing is a cancer to the business they supposedly love. I remember talking with a bunch of smart-marky backyard wrestlers after MSW Seaside Slam 2002 at the Halifax Forum, and the dipsticks truly believed that they were better wrestlers than many of the pros on the show they had just watched. They were so disrespectful and markish, it was downright funny and maddening at the same time. There they were, clutching their replica WWE title belts that they had "won" on their little backyard shows, pissing on guys that actually took the time to get trained, and travel around trying to learn and get better. I hope they all go to hell.

16. If there were a movie made about your life, who would portray you?

I'd like to see Mark Wahlberg shave his head and play the role of Mr. Freakin', but likely his asking price will be too much.

17. Which of these three would make you laugh out loud the most: two overweight women fighting over a picture of Burt Reynolds, "The best of TecknoTeam 2000" video tape or a midget with a beer gut?

I think I own "The Best of Techno Team 2000," if memory serves me. Burt Reynolds is the man, and fat people are funny. So I'll go with that one. What the hell is your obsession with midgets, anyway?

18. Who is the cooler character: Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin?

Homer Simpson, by miles.

19. What does Legion Cage do to relax when he’s stressed out?

Take a moment to remember that I'll be dead in about 60-70 years.

20. Any final comments, plugs, etc?

Yes, check out my website, www.oocities.org/legionfreakincage2002, often. I've got to admit, it's a pretty darn good indy wrestler site, and it'll be getting even better in the coming months, including a simpler domain name. Just continue to watch out for me, and support indy wrestling in your area. Also, there's a big eight-man tournament coming to the Halifax Forum, and though I won't be in the tourney itself, I'll be wrestling on the undercard, trying my damndest to steal the show. Watch for it!

Name Association

Sonny Soprano- Just for the record, it's Sonny Roselli, now. My opinions on him haven't changed at all since the last time we've talked. He's still my favorite travelling partner, and my favorite overweight Indian pretending to be an Italian. I might not be where I am today without him.

Sweet Sarah- From a standpoint of pure workrate, one of the top five in MSW, I believe. She's always super polite, too.

Skott Phoenix- I love the guy to death, and I think he's a fantastic athlete. My most recent match with him ranks as one of my best matches this year. It was an honor dropping the Atlantic Canadian Championship to him. I hope he holds it for a year like I did.

New Scott- Not that I know the guy all that well, or anything, but I have gotten to know him better in the past few months, and I like and respect him even more than I did before. I'm glad he got Roselli the Grand Prix tape that Sonny asked for several months ago, or New Scott might not be with us today. I'd say that the guy's camera work has only gotten better.

Gary Williams- I've got to confess, I've never seen the guy wrestle. But I'll say this, the guy looks like a friggin' wrestler, which is more than I can say for 75% of the indy guys that I've seen in North America. I've heard very, very positive things about him.

Legion Freakin' Cage- The August, 2003 version of Cage is a superior wrestler to the August, 2002 version, but there is still so, so much work to be done.
