y_chat_diva: So just sit back, relax, and enjoy a one on many chat with “Your Thrill Ride” as
y_chat_diva: he talks about life as champ, life in PTW and life outside the ring!

y_chat_diva: Please welcome PTW heavyweight champion, "The Thrill", to the room!
y_chat_diva: Hi Will Starr, welcome to Yahoo!
willstarr_ca: Wasap fans! Lets get to it! =)

starstruck_2000 asks: When are you going to face Rayne for the belt?
willstarr_ca: The title match is set for November 26th in San Antonio at the Alomodome. It's the next Pay Per View called "Payback" And it's set to be a "sixty minute falls-count-anywhere iron man match"!

ptwfanatic asks: Other than yourself, who is your favorite PTW wrestler?
willstarr_ca: Hmmm... well Rayne is quite a talent and very enjoyable to watch. Ya know I like this Darius Skyes kid as well.. I'm kind of a 'baller' myself and I like what I see from him. Moonstar is just to damn funny.. Monte Burns did a helluva job with the "non-hardcore" bit a month ago.. there are so many here, I can't list one!

nlwf_4_eva asks: Do you keep in touch at all with some of the guys from NLWF?
willstarr_ca: No, can't say as I do. I was disapointed at first with how NLWF turned out. I was disapointed that I didn't get the belt, becuase in some ways I thought I deserved it. I was even more disapointed with the so-called "top guys" leaving at the drop of a hat when things got tough. But, it all worked out for me in the end didn't it now?

mmmm_good80 asks: Are you single Will? Are you looking? :)
willstarr_ca: And just why do you ask? ;) Yes, I am single and yes I am looking.. although with my very busy schedule it's a little tough. That and I enjoy being around ALL women to much right now to settle down with one!

ice_cold asks: Who is your most feared opponent?
willstarr_ca: Will Starr doesn't fear anyone! I have all the tools to take down any kind of opponent. I can out wrestle them, I can out fly them, I can out brawl them or I can out and out beat the living crap out of them. "The Thrill" doesn't show fear becuase he has none.

starrs_thriller asks: How far do the Dallas Stars go this year in your opinion?
willstarr_ca: Stanley Cup baby! My good buddy Brett Hull will see us there!

can_rocks asks: Who is the best Canadian wrestler in the game today?
willstarr_ca: Tough question... If he hadn't just retired a while ago, I would say Bret Hart. Him and I go back a ways as some of you know.. and damnit he was the best ever. Now though? It just may be me.. Benoit is tough as well, and Jericho.. well Y2J is the MAN! But I think I'm right up there!

ptwkicksass asks: Who are you good friends with backstage?
willstarr_ca: Well, to be honest I'm so busy that I haven't really developed too many 'friendships' in PTW. I mean all the guys are great, and everyone gets along great. Rayne and I are pretty good pals. For the last few weeks I've been tellin all the guys about "Fozzy" and how much they rock.. Well Rayne went out and wore a Fozzy shirt in one of his promos! I nearly fell off my chair with laughter when I saw it!

huge_ptwfan_2000 asks: Has The Rock ever confronted you about using Starstruck?
willstarr_ca: No he hasn't, and no he really can't. Starstruck... Rock Bottom.. Book End... what ever you call it.. it's a suplex. It has been used for ages! I just happen to like how I can slap it on out of nowhere.

wwf_xpac_hhh2 asks: Any chance of you going to the WWF?
willstarr_ca: Never say never.. but I am very happy in PTW right now, locked up in a long term contract.. so probably not anytime soon.

starrfan_1998 asks: I've been a fan of yours since the very early days in ACWA! What was your fondest memory there?
willstarr_ca: There are lots of good memories I have of ACWA... maybe the best was the whole "Team Canada" angle... Myself, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels... we pulled that angle off before the WWF ever even thought about it! My fued with Bagwell over Rachel was a great angle... I had alot of fun there.

angelstruck asks: Ok Will, just who is that woman? Tell us!!
willstarr_ca: Sorry... can't tell quite yet! She is a hottie isn't she? Just keep tuned in to PTW and you'll find out soon enough! :)

y_chat_diva: Will, do you have anything to say regarding the updates to your new website?
willstarr_ca: I sure do! http://willstarr.i85.net is up and running now and if you haven't seen it yet, then by all means get yourself there today! It's always updated, and the webmaster there Mr. Art Middleton does a great job!

Luger_Wolfpac_696 asks: Who did you look up to as a youngster? Your sporting heroes as it were.
willstarr_ca: Cam Neely was and is an all time fav of mine! I loved his style of play on the ice. The first real power forward in the NHL. Bo Jackson was another favorite... there was no one like him.

julie_rockfan100 asks: who has been your toughest opponent all time
willstarr_ca: Another tough question. I think my toughest opponent is yet to come to be honest.. A guy like Rayne, or Lance Romance.. They have a lot of talent and can push the limits of mine quite a bit I'm sure!

ecwwwfwcw_chick99 asks: Are you ever going to go face again?
willstarr_ca: Again, never say never. I'm sure some day I'll be a face again.. hell in some citys I am period! But right now I kinda like playing the heel role.

mother_nature_rwa asks: are you afraid of being too successful too fast
willstarr_ca: Not at all, becuase, yes, I'm new to PTW and new to the RWA scene, but I've been in pro wrestling for five years now and the worlds title belt here in PTW is my first belt! I stayed in ACWA for two and a half years and never won a belt.. came close, but never won. So, really, I think in all honest opinion all this success I'm having - the belts, the promos, the attention - is becuase it's taken years of hard work!

y_chat_diva: Will Starr, where else will we see "The Thrill" in the next few weeks?
willstarr_ca: Lets see.. I'll be featured in WOW magazine in a one on one interview with Stephanie Levitt. I'll be in a small section in STUFF Magazine called "Who's The Man?" - I think I placed second out of the three in that. - I'll be on a new show called "The Jive By" hosted by Chris Woj soon. Hopefully as well I'll be on "Bitch With Mitch" with Claude Mitchel. I am due to be on TSN's Off The Record as well. And of course I'm always at every PTW show and event, as well as the RWA montly special for November.. it's a busy month and I love it!

ptw_rwa_foreva asks: What was it like to win the world title?
willstarr_ca: It was - dare I say it - a thrill to win it in the fashion that I did. Beating two great talents like Xris, and Johnny Hawthorn.. Leaving Xris STARSTRUCK off of a 20 foot high scaffold... The whole match was just magical and really set a tone for what we as wrestlers in PTW will bring every night to the fans.

rocketforever asks: What is the origin of "straight simple?" and are you surprised it's caught on like it has?
willstarr_ca: Well you can actually thank "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the phrase really... In one of his early promos where I think he was ripiing Bret Hart, he pretty much said 'I'm gonna kick you ass all over this arena.. yadda yadda.' But he ended his little rant with "straight simple" So that kinda stuck with me, and here in PTW my thinking was "Ok, lets throw this out there and see how people react to it." And as of right now, I'm quite pleased and maybe a little surprised that it has caught on as much as it has!

ptw_fanzine2001 asks: There are rumors of you retiring at the end of the year and taking over a certain federation... is that true?
willstarr_ca: Retire? At the age of 25? I highly doubt it! This body can still go, and save for a past knee injury I am very healthy. Come back to me in three or four years and see how I feel then. I may be ready for retirment then.

KurtAngleRules21 asks: Do you feel you need the belt to put Will Starr over?
willstarr_ca: Good question! In all honesty, I don't think Will Starr NEEDS the world title to put him over as the heel he is now. His cocky, 'could-care-less-about-any-of-you' attitude puts him over quite nicley. The belt helps a great deal becuase it just adds to Starr's cockyness and establishes him as a star here in PTW. But simply put.. the belt is very nice, but it's not the be all and end all of Starr's 'gimick' so to speak.

rayne_watcher asks: Is it possible that you and Rayne will team up?
willstarr_ca: Again, never say never.. It might. You just never know...

ptw420 asks: Straight simple question here... How is the knee?
willstarr_ca: The knee is fine. Some days it gets fairly sore and reminds me that I'm not totaly 100% At the same time though, myself and the doctors are quite amazed at how well it has recovered...

quoth_the_raven asks: Any grudges held against Raven? The guy who hurt your knee.
willstarr_ca: No.. No grudge.. And to say it was Raven's fault isn't really accurate. I was kind of off balance when Raven hit the moonsault on me, and as I was falling back my knee just gave out. It was a freek mishap and no real blame to be laid anywhere

starr_girl asks: Any truth to the rumors of you in Playgirl?
willstarr_ca: Oh god no!! LOL Sorry ladies, but not any time soon. Besides, I don't mind leaving a little to the imagination! ;)

willstarr_4_life asks: Why did you change your theme from the "Bad Boys movie theme" to "Bombtrack"?
willstarr_ca: No real reason, I just kinda liked the lyrics in "Bombtrack".. The lyric "Cuz I'm inclined to stoop down, hand out some beat downs" Is perfect for The Thrill. The Bad Boys theme is cool, but I find that a face type song where B-track is a little harder, a little edgier.

willstarr_ca: Almost outta time here peeps! I've had a geat time, lets finish up with a few more questions!

tse_ptw_2k asks: Is TSE really breaking up?
willstarr_ca: Again.. stay tuned! It certainly looks like it's heading that way, doesn't it though? Ya just never fully know however when Will Starr is involved!

ptw_starr asks: Any chance of your jumping to another fed like FSE or WCW?
willstarr_ca: Probably not.. Maybe down the road it would be an idea.. but right now I'm very happy with PTW. I mean how can I not be? The support I've gotten from PTW is amazing and something I don't take for granted!

insane_wrestler asks: How upset were you that Zach is leaving RATM?
willstarr_ca: Very! One without the other just won't be the same!! I hope they get back together soon, because really Rage is a band with a sound ahead of it's time..

allstarr_thriller asks: Other than Rage Against The Machine.. what else do you perfer in your CD player?
willstarr_ca: I'm not ashamed to admit it here, but The Moffats are really good right now. They have thier new CD and it sounds really good. Lenny Kravitz is another guy I'll always have playing. I'm a rock n' roll type of guy!

y_chat_diva: That’s all the time "The Thrill" has tonight. Thanks for chatting with us Mr. Starr!
willstarr_ca: Thank you everyone for the great questions! It was alot of fun and I know I'll be doing this again soon! Make sure ya tune in every Sunday for the highest rated show in wrestling: FURY! And catch Rayne and I going at it one on one when PTW presents Payback.. only on Pay Per View! Thanks again everyone for the support and see you all at the shows!
y_chat_diva: Thank you everyone
y_chat_diva: Have a great night!
