y_chat_diva: Welcome to Yahoo!
Chat
y_chat_diva: Our chat today is
with wrestling star, "The Thrill" Will
Starr!
y_chat_diva: continue to send
in your questions, as he will be on for only a
few minutes.
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: Thats all
the time "The Thrill" has tonight.

willstarr_ca: Thank you
