| 1. How did you get involved with wrestling? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Through Mainstream's Mat Mechanics in Feburary 2002. It was 8 weeks of 30 hours a weekend training before my first match. Me, Paco Loco and Skott Pheonix would travel 5 hours round trip from Halifax To Sheet Harbour on the shittest bus you've ever seen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2.What was the hardest part about training? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bumps, Bumps, Bumps. Our training in particular, as the first 4 weeks of the training took place out of the ring, in Devin Chittick's basement, on carpet and mats... We were taught to respect the ring and the buisness. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3.What was going through your mind before your very first match? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What was going through my mind? Don't fuck up. My first match was a tag match with Firefly against Legacy and Badd Dolly of Camp Martell. I was more concerned with not screwing up anything important. As far as first matches go, I think it went well. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4.Out of these two, which would you pick as the real "future" Frankie Kazarian or Chris Sabin? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Neither, As the future of Canadian Wrestling, it's simple for you to want me to guesstimate the next breakout star of Professional Wrestling it sure as hell isn't anybody from NWA:TNA, not AJ Styles, Not The X-Divison, None of them. The next breakout star of wrestling. John Cena, the perfect blend of wrestling, size and charisma. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5.What was your favorite TV show from the 80's? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Favorite 80's Show, I was a huge fan of the original season of Saved By The Bell... That show owned... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6.Out of the following three, which would make you laugh the most? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dusty Rhodes "The WWF years", the return of the Shockmaster, or | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lincoln Steen on TV in a trailerpark boys episode? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Dusty Rhodes WWF Years was sad, not funny, I'll go with Shockmaster... "I told ya....." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7.What was it like winning the MSW title for the first time? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Winning the Mainstream Wrestling Title was a pretty cool experience, it's been fun. Although there's a lot more pressure, as I'm normally wrestling in the main event, which means Me and My Opponent have to have a good match, to leave a good feeling of the show in the mind of the fans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8.And wrestling Chi Chi Cruz? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is alot different than winning a title. Wrestling somebody like Chi Chi Cruz, is like having Bobby Orr as a hockey coach, You can learn so much from Chi Chi Cruz by being in the ring with him, and being around him. He's one of the most experienced indy guys in Canada, and any experience to learn from him is one people need to take. You have to keep in mind that with Real Action and Grand Prix around in the late 90's... and being at the shows weekly, I grew up instead of wanting to be a "Steve Austin", a "Bret Hart" or a "Ric Flair"... I wanted to be like "Joe E. Legend", Leo Burke and Chi Chi Cruz... so it was kinda weird experience wrestling somebody I had looked up to in my teenage years, and I was very nervous, especially the first night in Yarmouth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. What are your thoughts on the upcoming Maritime Cup, at the Halifax Forum this coming October? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My thoughts are good luck to New Scott, promoting isn't as easy as it looks to anyone, the boys or fans... Many people don't realize how much goes into running a promotion until your actually behind the reins... Although New Scott has a very level head on his shoulders, and I'm confident that this show will be huge for re-igniting wrestling in the city Of Halifax. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. What are your thoughts about backyard wrestling? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If you love the buisness, and want to be respected in the industry, why hurt your reputation by wrestling on backyard shows. These guys just think because they put on a show, that they're wrestlers. It'll be funny for some of you, like that group up in Economy, until a legitimate professional wrestler shows up and fucks one of you up... as for backyarders that do just that, fuck around in thier backyard, I'm cool with that, if you want to fuck around in your backyard, and break your neck, fine by me... I find serious injury due to stupidity extremely funny, so if any of you 'backyard champions' feel like entertain me by hurting your chances of doing anything in the future other than be hooked up to multiple machines, by all means, go right ahead... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11.If you could pick anyone past or present to wrestle with, who would that be? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| that's easy: Hogan in his prime, because I'd make a shitload of money.. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| from an experience standpoint: Probably Harley Race... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12.If you started a promotion, who would you bring in if you could pick from anyone today? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looking realistically, at an Indy Level: Chi Chi Cruz, Eric Young, Lincoln Steen, Scott Savage and Mike Hughes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 13.What is your favorite wrestling title of all time? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looks wise, I'm a huge fan of the old WWF Intercontiental Title. As for lineage, you have to go with the WWF Title (60's-2001) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 14.What is your opinion on the state of Maritime wrestling today? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There's alot of potential in the maritimes right now. Although the buisness in general is in a downswing, Maritime Wrestling is 10 Times better right now than what it was at this point last year. by this time next year, it'll be even better than what it is right now. Expect big things on all sides of the maritimes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15.Do you think wrestling could be in a level like it was in 1998-2000? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| People gave the doomsday predictions in 93, 94 after the Rock And Wrestling Era crashed to the ground. People said Wrestling would go under. Wrestling works in cycles, and will get big again eventually. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16.Who do you think is the next person to get from the Indies to company like TNA or WWE? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The next person to jump to a major company? That's hard to say, because they can come from anywhere, probably Bobby Rude or American Dragon | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17.Favorite "Wrestlecrap" kind of gimmick? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I thought the Cobo Hall Hogan/Giant Monster Truck Match was pretty funny myself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 18.Should the fans and just about everyone involved with the situation in question forget about Survivor Series ?97? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I really don't see the hype behind Bret being screwed over. He was asked to lose a match by the promoter, he said no, The promoter took the steps nessicary to keep his promotion looking strong. End of story. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 19.What does the future has in stored for Tony Armstrong? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It's more like, what does Tony Armstrong have in store for the Future. Expect Tony Armstrong to continue to make an impact in Maritime Wrestlng, also, I have plans to branch out to Ontario, and the rest of New England | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Devin Chittick - Horrible, He's a dictator promoter... In all Seriousness, I don't know what the big witch hunt is about Devin around the maritimes is. His promotion continues to improveby leaps and bounds. He's on pace to have 100 shows this year, which is just about tops in Canada. He's a good worker, and trainer and is a close friend.
