RF: So starting off...tell us about Cliff Blood...where you are from, how old you are, how you got your start.
Cliff Blood: I'm from Dallas, TX, Rod. I'm 23 years old, and I got my start in a little fed called the HWA.
RF: Did you always know you were going to be doing this kind of work, or did you have other aspirations?
Cliff Blood: Actually no, I wanted to be a psychologist, but I figured out that seven feet wrestlers that can move are a dime a dozen.
RF: Haha, really. So who trained the monster?
Cliff Blood: Well, I basically broke in by myself, but Mike, or should I say Habachi helped me after my debut.
RF: Who were you favorite wrestlers growing up, or were you even a fan?
Cliff Blood: Well let’s see here, hmmm, in all honesty I was a fan of the Stinger’s.
RF: Now...getting into your pro career...did you start off as dominant as you are, or did it take time to learn the profession and to be a superstar?
Cliff Blood: Well, I started off a little slow to tell you the truth.
RF: How long did it take you to pick up?
Cliff Blood: About a month or so I would say, I had to learn to be my own man, and not get in every stable that invited me in.
RF: When did you win your first title, and who did you beat for it?
Cliff Blood: The HWA United States Championship, and I beat a man named Steve Kain I believe...
RF: Since then, how many titles have you held and which was the most prestigous?
Cliff Blood: Ha, ha... ummm I really don't know how many titles I've held, I would say 15 or more. But the RWF World Title is my baby.
RF: Who did you beat for that?
Cliff Blood: Tommy Levi.
RF: Were you in the RWF when it closed down?
Cliff Blood: Yes, unfortunatly a real poison did infect it.
RF: What was that poison?
Cliff Blood: A man by the name of Raven.
RF: How did that poison close the RWF?
Cliff Blood: Ehhhh, he just started a lot of shit that me and Dawkins, and the rest of the RWF couldn't stop.
RF: And then you moved on to the RWA?
Cliff Blood: Actually that was when I originally moved to the FWA.
RF: Ahhh....and what did you think of the FWa the first time around?
Cliff Blood: It was cool, I miss Drago and seeing Platinum around. I honestly believe that I should have left the RWF earlier, because I really wanted to meet Oliver Twisted.
RF: Yeah, he was a legend. Tell me a bit about the RWA and your stay there.
Cliff Blood: Ehhhh, it had its ups and downs. I mean Boyce is cool.. but.. well he just underused us wrestlers.
RF: Were you pretty stoked when the FWA opened up?
Cliff Blood: OH yeah, defonitly.
RF: How did it feel winning the world title right off the bat?
Cliff Blood: It felt great. I mean me and Durten have known each other for a while, so being in the ring with him was awesome.
RF: Is there anyone in the FWA that you hope to defend it against?
Cliff Blood: Well, hmmmm, I don't know I'd really love to fight Dawkins sometime, with a title or not. I mean me and him in the ring are just like, I love fighting him. Any of the clique really.
RF: And who is the clique?
Cliff Blood: Well its really just a group of guys who are really friends, me, Dawkins, Kid Punk, Tommy Levi. I mean basiclly me, Levi, and Dawk have known each other a while, and Punk, he's just cool as hell he fit right in.
RF: Those are the guys you travel the roads with?
Cliff Blood: Yeah pretty much, I mean its good to have a group like that, because wrestling is so many politics, and most anybody that knows us, knows you mess with one, you miss with the rest as well.
RF: I recall a situation when you were jobbed to that Branson guy, they all got your back pretty good, huh?
Cliff Blood: Oh yeah, ha ha, well I guess I did a little shoot promo and the prez at the time didn't appreciate it. But they all stood up for me, because thats just how we are.
RF: It sucked when you guys had to fight each other in the RWA cause you were dominating it so bad.
Cliff Blood: Ha, ha, yeah, it wasn't very convincing either.
RF: We know what you think of Anarchy on TV, but what do you think of the job he is doing behind the scenes?
Cliff Blood: Oh great, he's one of the best prez's I've ever had.
RF: So who has been your toughest opponent ever?
Cliff Blood: Taylor Dawkins.
RF: Go figure. Lets play a game of name association, I’ll say someone's name, give me a word or two, or how ever many on that person.
