Rockstar Spud Talks Critical Internet Wrestling Fans, TNA’s New Home on POP TV, Being a Wrestling “Mark”, EC3 and Hair vs Hair, More

As noted TNA star recently did an exlcusive interview with Jordan Michael Coulson (@VegasFuelJMC) for WrestleZone, and below are some quotes from Spud.

On pursuing Stand Up Comedy in the future:

“I’m not telling you I am any good because I am not, I am absolutely ROTTEN as hell, but the audience that was there at the time was entertained. It was a non-wrestling audience who didn’t know me and when I asked them what they thought my job is, somebody said a Stable-Hand, which was hilarity in itself. It is something I want to do on the side as part of my little entertainment brand, my little ball of fun.”

On being a Wrestling Savant and Historian (having so much trivial knowledge on the product):

“I am a dirty damn rotten MARK. I am no different to any wrestling fan, I have been a wrestling fan all my life. Only (maybe) Tommy Dreamer knows more Wrestling trivia.”

Comparing Star Wars Fans to Wrestling Fans:

“You like what you like, you like what you dislike, the way the world is now, we are given the world of Social Media to give our 140 character opinion, and we feel it’s valid because it’s us (our opinion), but even if its NOT valid, we will give it any way, because we can. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, especially if they paid for a ticket. If you can offer the product something, put yourself out there and go get the job, make this change and help what is going on. Sometimes people watch Star Wars and are disappointed by the story or ending and say “WAS THAT IT?” I am never paying to see this again…but they will. If you’re really passionate about making a change, go out there, knock on doors, BANG on doors say this is who I am and how I am going to help you, but the people who are saying what is wrong, that is just their opinion.”

Who is a bigger piece of Garbage? Muammar Gaddafi? or EC3’s biological father?:

“EC3’s Father, the man should have wrapped it up 30 plus years ago. He sleezes on the Knock Outs at the Bar, we know what your game is Old Man. I heard he has a hearing aid and a false leg. At least he did carry on with his fatherly responsibilities because there is no doubt he is EC3’s father because they are both big nosed douche bags.”

On his history with EC3 and Hair Vs. Hair Match:

“Everything happened as we envisioned (in Hair vs. Hair). It was the biggest moment of my career so far, I obviously want to create more moments with IMPACT Wrestling but up until that point I don’t think anyone really saw anything in me, until that point, then they said WOW this Guy can make me CARE. In another arena, on any other night it might have gotten a different reaction, but I disagree because of the story we told. It was love vs. hate, good vs. evil, they wanted to see the good guy win and the bad guy lose. It made a lot of people talk about our company again in a positive light. That was what Pro Wrestling was when we grew up, that feeling, that caring about a good guy and wanting to see him succeed, that is why it resonated with so many people, that is the kind of story I want to tell”.

On TNA’s future with POPtv and live Premiere TUESDAY JANUARY 5th from SANDS CASINO in BETHLEHEM, PA:

“I think its absolutely fantastic. Its the right market that we are looking to attract. They have Dawson’s Creek on this channel! Do you know what that means? I watched Dawson’s Creek, I might get to meet PACEY! That would be the best. It’s amazing for TNA. It’s an amazing opportunity to rebuild. There was a loss of momentum after SPIKEtv and that is no knock on anyone, it was just a loss in potential viewership. I want to meet the cast of Dawson’s Creek and Mary Kate and Ashley. Days of our Lives is on POPtv, this is the perfect channel for me. I am going to get a suit with the POPtv logo on it.”
