[TWF]
Interview with Mr. BIG
[Originally conducted in June 2004]
-- The guys began by asking Biggie about his US Wrestling Experiences. He touched on his XWF days, where he learnt a great deal. His first promotion was EWC but he wrestled twice there and it closed down soon after he joined. The NoDQ guys asked about his organisation of the XWF. Biggie said admittedly it was a shambles and he admits that if one person was to blame for the XWF's downfall, it was him.
-- Biggie also talked about his VWF days. He thought he became a better wrestler under the guidance of Ottobomb and the booking staff in the VWF because he learnt to be under control, and felt that he is a better character with storyline-based work instead of wrestling-based work.
-- Now the TWF was the focus of discussions. The staff asked him who he hangs around with backstage. Biggie says that NJS, Lita and himself usually go out on the road together, but backstage he talks with almost everyone. There are certain individuals he doesn't get along with, but that was not his decision, it was theirs.
-- His angle with High Voltage was discussed. Biggie feels it is a great storyline helped mainly because he and HV are such good friends. He thought adding Frekishi into the mix was a great idea as well. Biggie also says that he has never refused to put anyone over, except Marz back in 2002. Marz was chairman and he told Biggie to lay down, but that was when Marz's running of the company was anarchy and Biggie was part of the rebellion that got Marz fired from the TWF.
-- Holly was the next thing discussed. Biggie said he had a feeling this would come up and at this point he would usually put up in interviews, but he feels this one is special. Biggie says that he and Holly went back to the old days of SCW and was used back in 2000 in the FX vs. Revolution war. He didn't speak to her in 2 years, but she visited Joe Whelan's home, who is Biggie's next door neighbour and they discussed the possibility of her returning as a heel and then turning to become a the top face manager. The negotiations went well and Biggie admits he was in love with her, particularly around the Against All Odds angle, but the Grit BasH the night after was a shoot, and he was so pissed off it was un-real. They haven't spoken since. He admits he did love Holly, but she was too stuck up to realise it.
-- Biggie also confirmed that Holly will be out for a while because she has contracted an illness, similar, but not as severe as Frekishi which forced him out for around a year.
-- NoDQ said that over the past couple of days they have heard rumours of the TWF collaborating with another promotion. Biggie said that they have entered negotiations to have a TWF vs. NWA-TNA show in December.
