1. Well, for the benefit of fans who don't follow the indy scene, can you give them a good idea of who Rockin Rebel is? The man you love to hate.....and don't try and get into a verbal war of words, trust me you will lose. 2. What made you decide to get into the wrestling business and how did you go about getting into it? Always wanted to be a wrestler but when I was doing martial arts I saw a friend of mine at a wrestling show and he steered me in the right direction and the rest is history.

3. What was it like to train with the Rock N Roll Express?

The best training- they taught me the basics and a lot of ring smarts

4. You were a regular for ECW during its early days. How did you first become involved in ECW, and what was it like working there?

Well I was in Puerto Rico and Todd Gordon called me and said he buddy your missed come home. I know its not TWA, but I think this new fed I got will turn into something big. He was right it was a blast.

Too many to really talk about but if someone wants to publish my encounters let me know its worth reading.

6. You've Had a big part in the Philadelphia independent scene especially with CZW and 3PW? Do you think that the Philly market gets over saturated at all, with all of the groups that have recently ran there?

Before, but each company has its diversity OLD SCHOOL, NEW SCHOOL, HARD CORE, ETC. YOU GET THE PICTURE. NOW ROH WILL BE IN THE MIX AND I LIKE WHAT THEY GOT.

7. Do you think that in general the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission does a good job at regulating pro-wrestling?

JUST STICK TO THE RULES AND ALL WILL BE FINE

9. You were one of the few people about Zandig bringing in some of the IWA: Mid South wrestlers to work an invasion angle with. What did you think when you first told about this, and looking back what are your thoughts on the angle?

THE REBEL- ZANDIG -IWA ANGLE WAS HOT WE EVEN FOOLED THE BOYS CAUSE NO ONE KNEW AND IT WAS ALMOST A NEAR RIOT WITH THE FANS. WATCHING FRANK TALENT GET TAGGED WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN THE HEAD WAS PRICELESS I THINK HE PISSED HIMSELF IN THE PROCESS.THOSE KIND OF ANGLES ARE MONEY MAKERS.
