Bruce Thomas same here.
Bruce Thomas What was your first IWA leagues?
James Weston Saber Tooth League
Bruce Thomas Do you think the IWA technology has totally changed?
James Weston god yeah
can you tell us alittle how?
James Weston well for one thing, the titles exchanges are done the right way....people used to get jacked out of titles when they had higher strats(ie-me)
Bruce ThomasWho was the first IWA'er you ever met?
James Weston what do you mean....I would have to say the person that introduced me to the game if you mean it one way. But if you mean the first person that I have ever meet from the game, then that would have to be Terrence Boyd
BT: Who was your first ever fued?
JW: KC, the Knight Club. They must have been someone good, 'cause back in 91 they were always fighting for World Tags and other BS like that
BT: What was your first ever stable that got in the report?
JW: actually PRO:-) KOTR was my first, well actually it should have been TRU, but I had the stable initals changed
BT: almost won world tag?
JW: that too...got edged out by Van Berkle at hold #7
BT: sorry about the tag.. but should be proud about the KOTR. I would take a belt over a plaque anyday!
JW: hell yeah
BT: now people want to know who has the most influences on you?
JW: what do you mean?
BT: I mean someone that helped you outwhen you first started
JW: well I'm sure that most people wanna hear me say that LP gives me strats...but nope. Boyd and I work a lot on the holds. I also work on them with my cousin who plays in the IWA, and of course I work with my other stable mates too
BT: After the 1991 did you retire from the IWA and came back?
JW: yeah...left after 10 cycles, came back in 93 left after 3 cycles, back in 94 left after 10 or 11 cycles, back in 96 for three cycles, then came back in Sept of 97
BT: In your own personal opinion.. What do you think of Cress Craig?
JW: that was low...kinda mad him look like a loser
BT: How do you fill about the IWA?
JW: I like it
BT: Do you fill PRO will still rule the IWA?
JW: Of course. At 6 members, each of them are getting the job done. And not one stable can claim that
BT: Well thanks for the interview. I enjoyed chatting to you once again. If you have something to say speach now!
JW: thanks
