RF: Tell me Anarchy, how did you get involved with the wrestling business?
PA: Oh wow. It was a long time ago. In a company called NWCW run by the infamous Brett Harkin. A friend of mine referred me. We were in a tag team called "D-Ranged". I was going by the name of Damion Hastings back then. He was Stonie Jones.
RF: Do you ever talk to Harkin anymore?
PA: No. He was in competition with a man named Brian Supreme. I prefer not to get into the details, but they bickered about who harrassed who, and I got dragged into it. Then Crash Banderhuge took over the PWSF, which was Supreme's fed. Brett and I parted ways, very nastily.
RF: I see...so when did you arrive in the FWA?
PA: Well, Supreme had warned me of the stress of running a fed, but I did it. Most of the guys left with him though. It was almost a waste of time for me. I started my own fed, with Harkin again, called 2 Extreme. Me and Harkin argued about control, and I quit the Politics of it, and went back to wrestling...in the FWA. I heard it was the best around.
RF: Was it at that time?
PA: Yes, and although I had wrestled for over a year and a half, I felt like a rookie. I was very out of place. I heard if you were not good, you wouldn't last. And no one accepted me.
RF: Who were the top stars in the fed back then?
PA: I have a bad memory, and was overwhelmed, so it's hard to remember. I believe Oliver Twisted, Dagon, Punk, Dawkins, Johnny Platinum and a few others I'll talk about later, I'm sure.
RF: Tell me, how smoothly was the fed being run? Was there much backstage grumbling like there is now?
PA: Excuse me while I take a drink, and I'll think about your absurd question.
PA: Ah...thankyou. First off all, I don't know what you're talking about. Is there alot of backstage grumbling?
RF: It doesnt seem as if people get along backstage as well as they did before.
PA: Well I think you have a good mixture of talent now. We have the Franchise guys; Dawk, Punk, Blood...and you got excellent veteran talent from other feds. The bad blood and "who's better?" leads to a great fed with great fueds. It's like Goldberg vs. HHH, you want to see it cause you know theres a real hate.
RF: Exactly...the acquisitions of people Like Jared Blazer, Steve Somers, and Ashton Steele only seem to make the competition even more solid. You're thoughts?
PA: They are strong, and the future Hall of Famers, I'm sure of it.
RF: Now...when the FWA folded the first time...what did you do after that?
PA: I debated retirement, I'm getting old. Instead, I followed Kid Punk and Taylor Dawkins to other feds. I felt burnt out, and thought I could bring the fire back by befriending or fueding with them.
RF: Why them?
PA: I had never seen anyone cut promos like Taylor. It was refreshing, and I was jealous. I searched for a way to become refreshing myself. I couldn't do it though, and I didn't want to copy him. So I retired.
RF: Who are Baldoni and Vaughn? Where did they come from and how much power do they have?
PA: They were brought in to take pressure off of me. Since then, they have become the FWA. They are the show. Vaughn is priceless to me, and Baldoni is a great asset as well. I wish I could talk about their backgrounds, but they have asked me not to devulge that. Surprisingly, I would have to say that whoever they are expected to be, the people are way off. They are kept a secret to avoid "biased" accusations.
RF: So while you dont take credit for all the great things going on in the FWA, you still take a lot of flack when things go wrong, at least the way others see it as wrong?
PA: That's the hard part of being Prez. And I think that is why Vaughn and Baldoni understand that I am still doing alot of work. I am Public Relations. I an also a big part of the "final product" and I'm the editing man. They make sure the show goes smooth. I make sure before and after goes smooth. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.
RF: And for the record, how are wins and who gets the pushes decided?
PA: The three of us get together each week and vote who we think should win. I like to get in the mix and suggest angles every now and then, and they tell me if It's bogus. Also, you can almost get a feel for who should get pushed. It's been hard because we have alot of great veterans here. It's also hard to get together everyweek, so sometimes I get emails from them with their picks on who should win.
RF: Who do you see as the future of the new FWA?
PA: I do not know. I would like to be as optimistic as I was when I reopened it, but I cannot. I almost lost Vaughn this week, and I think that would kill me, but he changed his mind without me even getting a chance to read my mail. That's the thing about the FWA. It's like a girlfriend. It's a complete bitch, but it is also a place to relieve your "frustrations". Sometimes it can be really fun. I know some of my favorites will be leaving soon, and that might affect my passion for the sport.
RF: There have been rumors as such, from what I understand�if you dont mind, may I ask you some questions that might be a bit controversial?
PA: This is a shoot interview, so shoot.
RF: Great...can you tell me a bit about the Mark Wilder/ESW incident? I know you are tired of talking about it, but that create quite a stir, and some think might have been part of Rockin' Rick's decision to close down the ESW
PA: I have no idea. That was a bad situation though, and I am not proud that I was involved. I have always been a big fan of Mark's, and I regret turning on him. However, who or whom ever was bitching to Rick should never wrestle again. They make the things that are bad about this sport. I would rather be fighting everyone in the ESW or FWA than Prezzing, and I blame those people. I also blame myself for the possible bad blood Mark may have towards me.
RF: Mark still hasn't accepted your apology?
PA: I'm not sure. I would be upset, and I probably would not accept it if I were him. I have had several talks with him, and I personally hope he returns to the FWA. He is part of the Franchise. He is one of the best.
RF: That was my next question, but you handled that. On to the next controversial item...the situation with Nightmare and Chomp...where do you stand as far as that is concerned?
PA: Hmm...very bad subject to bring up, but I will briefly answer. I was wrong for calling out Nightmare, and I was offensive towards Chomp. The only thing I felt justified for being upset about was Chomp asking me to turn the FWA over. I sometimes wonder if I should have now.
RF: Is it true that you conferred with several FWA wrestlers who preferred that you keep the fed?
PA: Yes. But I am still looking for a reliable person to take it over. That is my goal. I hope to one day be able to fight Dawkins, Blazer, Big "D", Blood, etc., with someone else at the controls of the FWA. So far there is only one person worthy, and I know he will not take it.
RF: So that person, should we assume it is Nightmare himself?
PA: No. As much as I respect Justin as the greatest Prez I've known, I believe him when he says he has no time. And I cannot be mad athim for that. I have managed many great feds, but this is a bitch to keep up. It would be Vaughn. He is a workhorse, and his work is great. ...Vaughn has the same problems as Justin and I.
RF: That much is clear...oh, I see...well then...One more controversial question, before we move on...
RF: Wait...Vaugh and you have the SAME problems? Is it as severe?
PA: I think it's hard for anyone to dedicate the time to run this fed. We are all getting older, and efeds are disappearing.
RF: That much is true, especially of good efeds.
PA: Yes. The problem is time.
RF: Now then...that other controversial question...what do you make of these claims that, backstage, Taylor Dawkins and Kid Punk have you in their back pocket, or that they only win cause they are friends with you?
PA: Its complete bullshit, I am decent friends with Dawkins and Punk outside of the ring, so I will take heat for that. But it always happens that way. Steve The All American hears the same shit when he was friends with Justin.
RF: What do you say to people who accuse you of being biased everytime they lose?
PA: There are three people voting. And I hate to see the same people win everytime. I have been criticized for being an "angle" prez who tries to keep everyone happy. The system of Baldoni, Vaughn, and I prevents me from screwing over the guys who deserve the win. I am guilty of being an angle prez, but I work to avoid it. There is no reason for anyone to complain. If they do, they need to re-evaluate themselves, because it's three people voting. One of the Staff has a losing record themselves, but remains unbiased, and does not bitch, because he knows it's a legit vote. That shows he is the best type of wrestler, and he'll see that record turn around.
RF: What do you see in the future of Anarchy? A full time return to the ring?
PA: I want that, and I don't see that happening. That makes me more upset everyday. I am hoping someone everyone knows and trust says "Give me the Fed".
RF: Until then, all you can do is run the fed the best way you know how...one more question...when you finally hang up your boots, for good, how do you want people to remember Anarchy?
PA: As an asshole who was an asshole because he wanted to keep an old group of guys together. I'd hate to lose contact with these guys again.
RF: PA...let's play word association here, can we? Or name, should I say..
PA: Ok, be nice Anarchy...be nice.
RF: Let's start with Crash Banderhuge.
PA: When I was at my best in the NWCW and PWSF. People loved his news and Rumors. He may return. Stupid name though.
RF: I kinda like it...next person...Dagon.
PA: Anarchy's Nemisis. We could've had a better fued of dark characters. Indecisive as well.
RF: Rockin Rick?
PA: Only guy to hold a candle to Knightmare.
RF: Zeroman?
PA: My roleplay againts him. The first ever comic roleplay, I think. It's at http://www.geocities.com/anarchyisagod/ZMan1.jpg
RF: Ok...next person: Tyler Durten.
PA: For some reason I immediatley think of Fight Club. He is Jack's worst nightmare.
RF: Steve Somers?
PA: He makes the New FWA.
RF: Jared Blazer?
PA: The NEW FWA, and my new enemy.
RF: Steve the All American?
PA: The Hulk Hogan of the FWA. Steve is Timeless. One of the people I want to keep in touch with and/or wrestle again someday.
RF: Tyrel Jones?
PA: Five against one, the one who stood strong. He's the man.
RF: Cliff Blood?
PA: Too Nice. Too respectable. I'm dirty, he's my opposite.
RF: Nightmare?
PA: You Asshole.
RF: Mark Wilder?
PA: No, you don't understand I'm calling you an asshole for asking me about Knightmare.
RF: Oh....why? This interview isn't pulling any punches
PA: Jesus. Shut those camera's off. Are they off? Yes, Ok go ahead.
RF: Um...they're off? Ok, I just wanted to know what you think of Nightmare? Off the record, of course.
PA: Good guy, good intentions. No time.
RF: I see...and Chomp?
PA: SWWF is his home.
RF: Hmmm...and Wilder?
PA: Love, Hate. Never one or the other.
RF: Taylor Dawkins?
PA: Friend. Making a nice comeback from burn-out syndrome.
RF: Kid Punk?
PA: The guy who made the Heart Break Chick a legitamate "gutterslut". You cant top that.
RF: I can...how about telling me about Heart Break Chick. And thank you for confirming what Kid Punk has said in the past.
PA: What?
RF: Word association...HBC?
PA: I have nakeds. Lonely nights. Very Lonely.
RF: Alrighty then, I'll be sure to not tell Kid Punk about that. She ought to be on your list for getting people back by the way.
PA: Maybe he'll pay me for the nakeds.
RF: Well, I guess I'll take my camera that is turned off, and be heading out...to tell Kid Punk.
PA: Can I ask you a question?
RF: Sure. I guess.
PA:: Have you seen Habachi, Damon Hybrid, Beef Wellington, Platinum, or Bubba McDowell?
RF: Yeah, they were legends.
PA: No I mean have you seen them around, I want them to come back.
RF: Oh, you mean, lately? No, I haven't but I am sure fans would love to have them back.
PA: Zeroman?
RF: I'll put the word out to my journalistic friends in the trade. Zeroman, last I checked, was still in the RWA.
PA: If any of you fucks read this, get your asses back here. Goodnight Mr. Felt.
RF: That's FelterSNATCH.
