Interviewer - I am here with the TNT Wrestling World HHeavyweight Champion Nic Totopoulous.  Nic thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with us and to answer a few of our questions.

Totopoulous - Well to be perfectly honest with you it is a pleasure to be here.  I do have quite a few things to say.  I hope that your questions will lead to what I have to say.

Great.  Well let me start things off here with a direct question about your health.  How is your health?  Last week on Mayhem at the end of the show after your match with Bucky, Terror Xtreme did what they said they were going to do.  They said that if you were getting beaten up, they wouldn't be there to help you.  Well they weren't there to help you obviously.

Ya know, Terror Xtreme really had a lot of things to say last week.  They obviously aren't happy with me, and they wanted to show me in a physical manner, which is exactly what they did.  Which is fine quite frankly.  I guess I had it coming in a way.  For the past little while they wanted me to join Terror X because they know what a great talent I am, and for the past little while I have been telling them no, because I knew that I didn't need or want their help to stay the champion.  I had and still have enough confidence in my self to know that I can beat anyone at any time without their help.  Quite frankly, none of those three men have been able to show me that they are a threat to my World title.  When I wrestle or fight any one of them on my own, I always seem to come out on top.  Now when all three of them team up together they get the upperhand, but that is expected.

I must say that you are taking this very well.  You still haven't answered my question yet though.  How is your health Nic?

Right, I forgot about that.  Well, it's not so good.  As you know being a professional wrestler I am going to have the resgular bumps and bruises.  Right now as you can see one of those bruises just happens to be under my left eye.  This was a direct result of the chair shot on Sunday.  As for the rest of me, my knee is banged up pretty bad.  They did quite a number on it with the figure four, and the chair shots, and the kicks, and whatever else they did.  I went to the doctor, they said their was no muscle, ligament, tendon or bone damage, they simply said there was a lot of swelling.  The doctor also told me that I shouldn't wrestle this week on Mayhem.
 

 

But you have a match with Kevin Cosmos against Cappy and Big Boss on Sunday.

I know that.

So...

So what?  I'm going to wrestle.  Don't think that because I'm calm right now that I'm not angry.  I am furious with the three of them.  What I want to try and do is stay calm and treat this match the same way I would treat any other match.  I want the victory more than anything.  As much fun as it would be to hurt these men, I think that a quite and embarassing loss would hurt them even more.  If I lose my temper out there, it might cost me and Kevin the match.  Now that's not fair for him.  I know that despite our differences, he is a great wrestler, and I don't want to let him down.

Well that is a very good thing for you to do.

Well I like to think so.

Now let me ask you about Kevin Cosmos.  From what I understand back in your UWA days the two of you didn't see eye to eye.  In fact, when you were the UWA Undisputed Champion, he is the one that beat you for that title.

Yes this is true.  We were enemies, and he did beat me for the title.  I have an enormous amount of respect for that man though.  He has competed better than a lot of people for a long time now.  He has proven that he is one of the best in this sport.  No matter how much I might dislike the guy personally, there is no way that I can professionally take anything away from him.  Now as we may not have been friends in the past, I'm going to try and keep personal issues between myself and Kevin right there, in the past.  I'd like to think that I have grown as a person, and will be able to get past my dislike for him.  When I left the UWA to come back to TNT Wrestling, I wanted to forget about old grudges I might have had with other wrestlers.  I wanted a clean slate, no unfinished business.  I think I have accomplished this pretty well.  Right now I dn't have any negative feelings toward Cosmos, and I hope that when Sunday rolls around, that he won't have any toward me either.  I hope that we will be able to work in cohesion to attain vistory on Sunday night at Mayhem.

Well that certainly is good to hear.  I'm glad that there is a chance that you and Cosmos will be able to coexist on Sunday.

I think there is a good chance of that.
 

 

Now both Cappy and Big Boss have been pretty demanding about a World Title shot Nic.  How do you feel about this?

Well I really don't think that either one of the m deserves a shot at my title quite frankly.  Neither one of them has proved to me that they deserve a shot at my title.  I proved last week that I deserve to be the champion with my defense against Bucky.  Now while that might have been a DQ victory, I still won.  Bucky needed Terror Xtreme's help to win, and they were caught.  But right now Cappy has not shown me that he deserves to be a World Champion, and neither has Big Boss.  Big Boss is simply the Hardcore Champion.  There is a big difference between being Hardcore Champion and being World Champion.  But being a man of my word and a fighting champion, Cappy will get his shot at my title.  Right now I feel that he is more deserving than Big Boss is.  I think that if anyone from that group deserves a shot at the title it's Bucky.  He's the Eurasian Champion.  Cappy and Big Boss aren't as good as Bucky is.  But hey, why would I complain about getting a weaker opponent right?  Now I'm not trying to take anything away from Cappy here.  He is a good wrestler, but to hold this title you have to be great, and great is something he is not.  I think I'm going to have to prove to both of these two men on Sunday why I am great and they are only good, even if it is on one leg.

Well thank you for your time Nic.

That's it?  Not more questions?  I thought this was going to be longer.  I thought I'd be here for a while answering questions.

Well, sorry champ, that's all I was told to ask you.

Hey man don't be sorry.  I don't mind leaving early.  Now I can get back to rehabbing my leg so I'll be ready fo Sunday's match.

Well I'm glad you can put this time to good use.

So am I, so am I.
