Ok this is really a dated version of the Nuke interview.. But I hadnt really edited it the past couple months. It took place during EWA 3.0 Before SCW 2.0 and CCW of course. But it's still a good read.. You get to know Nuke and realize that he isnt that much of a pansy...
Ric Lobon: Ok you ready?

Nuke: what? how are we doing this?

Ric Lobon: I'll just ask you questions.. you answer.. It�s not a hard concept..

Ric Lobon: you need a minute to get in character?

Nuke: Ok like nuke would??

Ric Lobon: Duh.

Nuke: I'm always in cahracter [laughs]

Ric Lobon: Dear god.. Lets begin

Ric Lobon: Hey Hey there Nuke.. Whats the good word?

Nuke: Oh nothing just the usual degenerate stuff

Ric Lobon: Oh thats right.. You're a Degenerate.. Whats that like?

Nuke: Same as it was last time I guess. Cause trouble, annoy people, and be the best . .. it's good!

Ric Lobon: Doesn't that involve kissing giant plastic asses?? I seem to remember some DWO-ites kissing an ass.. No wait.. it wasnt all of them.. Just one person.. Who was that again?? McLaren?? Krow??

Nuke: No, No, no . .it was me but you missed the point to the whole giant ass kissing . . . . I was portraying Floyd's technique that he used to use on Brad and probably still does today . . in his retirement home wherever that is.

Ric Lobon: Yeah Mt Olympus.. I read my own site thank you very much..But you brought up Brad, the former Prez of the WCWF/XOW.. Wasnt there some tension between the two of you?

Nuke: Yeah I'd say there was . . .He kept me out of the XOW for some lame reasons . . . but if you ask me. He probably just thought his fed wasn't ready for great talent like myself again.

Ric Lobon: Umm.. Ready for you?? Im sure there was more then that... Maybe he was just protecting because he was scared that you would get hit by cars again

Nuke: Listen Lobon . . . .I can handle myself. No car or any other weapon is gonna keep me from what I want. Which was being the best in the wrestling world.

Ric Lobon: But the cars and weapons do such good jobs.. Ok.. Im getting on a tangent.. Lets start at the beginning.. Where'd Nuke come from?

Nuke: Well I grew up in Toronto, Canada . . .sweet place to grow up . . . . everything happens there so it's easy to get connected with what you want to do. For me it was when the EWA needed some indy fed wrestlers to fill their card for a night . . .luckily my boss in the FWA a small fed based in Toronto . .recommended me . . .

Ric Lobon: And who was your first match against?

Nuke: You know I really don't remember . . once you been in so many matches you just seem to forget some . .but If I can guess I think it may have been Staks

Ric Lobon: Hey Staks.. wasnt he a world champ?? Ok.. lets talk about the EWA.. Not this one.. the original one.. Any outstanding moments?

Nuke: Yeah being a 4 time Television champ will always stick out in my mind . . . . .when I defeated Hall for the Intercontinental belt in a last man standing match . .but a match i will never forget is when myself and Force fought in a horrific bar fight match. Some say I got my ass kicked but it was really a defining moment in my career . .I gained a lot of respect after that match. Then there are the things that slow done your career . . . . Juventud Guererro guest hosted a show once and during my match decided to compare to Norman Smiley . . .For months people would Chant or call me Norman when ever they saw me. Eventually I snapped whenever I heard that name.

Ric Lobon: Norman huh?? Good thing I wasnt around then.. So did you leave the EWA and go right to the WCWF?

Nuke: no . .Actually when the EWA closed for the first time . . . .A bunch of banned together to form "The Chosen". At first we were hated in the WCWF . . . .we were called Goths, etc. We were hated and it didn't work out great . .it started when Slayback one of our members quit then the rest quit and left only myself anf Force to stay.

Ric Lobon: So you stayed?? I seem to remember you in the XWF also, is that right?

Nuke: Don't even bring that up . .I couldn't stand that federation . . . . I was seen as a third rate nobody . . .I was an original member of Undisputed Attitude there . . . .It was difenately not a high point in my career.

Nuke: Bunch of bastard staff

Ric Lobon: I believe thats where I first met you.. You definetly werent used that much.. I cant seem to remember you doing anything big.. But who was the world champ of that fed? Do you remember?

Nuke: Maroon was for the time I was there until it closed. Thaat was when he was in his psychotic mood I remember. He was really fucked up! I don't really remember Maroon ever being in that sort of state of mind ever since then

Ric Lobon: Yeah he was a nut job but it got him the belt.. So the place closed and it was back to the WCWF.. Any big moments there??

Nuke: In the WCWF . .it was an up and down life for me. I was doing all great and was independant champion right away and then they had me lose it to the Seal King I believe his name was. He quit the fed after that and I was not happy about losing it to him because the Prez. . .Mr. X wouldn't give me the belt back. . . .from then on I went on a 12 match losing streak. I was a dark matcher. Until I finally began to develop a new style . .a gimmick as we say. I began to use names like "The Midget Hunter" Nuke or "Hardcore" Nuke . . . . I captured the Hardcore title right awy then and was back on my way .

Ric Lobon: Wow.. I honestly didnt expect that much.. and I know what a gimmick is.. But you said you were Hardcore.. Does that mean you threw cans and brooms around or were just really hardcore?

Nuke: I was the ultimate Hardcore. . . . .Hardcore Icon is nothing to what I used to be. I would do anything to win a match. I would train hardcore! put myself through tables . .jump through glass windows . .whatever would make me tougher

Ric Lobon: Did you get tough on your own or were you part of any stables?

Nuke: Well The Chosen like I said . . . and a lot of the time I went solo. I tried to join with Misery Inc. When Sweet Pete was the leader and they took over the WCWF but they made a joke of me and beat me senseless in the middle of the ring.

Ric Lobon: Yeah that�s one of my top ten wrestling moments of all time� Sounds like something Misery Inc would do.. But dont feel bad.. Hardcore Tom got beat like that also.. And so did stumpy.. So things with Mis Inc didnt work out.. Did you turn anywhere else?

Nuke: I unfortunately turned to the Rowdy humpers and became "Rowdy" Nuke. I eventualy led them as I along with Ahab fueded with Fantastico a.k.a Shannon Mclaren. While in the Rowdy Humpers I ended Attitude's career in the WCWF. I took over the helm of the Rowdy Humpers for awhile.

I had a good amount of power thanks to Ahab then I was Hardcore and Television champ but had to retire the hardcore belt for the X-treme belt to come in. But I lost all that power when Ahab betrayed me for Mclaren

Ric Lobon: Word of advice in wrestling. Chicks you align yourself with are bad news. Its a good thing Shantastico got screwed over good too..Plus he was better looking.. Wasnt it around that time that the WCWF started to go down hill?

Nuke: Yeah . . people were retiring and leaving the Rowdy humpers disbanded . .Sweet Pete was expelled . . . .but I was moving up to world title status. The only thing interesting there besides my climb was the way Mr. Maroon would defend the X-treme belt 24/7. But it all came crashing down when Chris Roberts screwed over the fed and most of all . . me!

Ric Lobon: Ahh yes.. I remember that.. Penner dropped the ball to Memosarks.. who fought a losing battle to Floyd... Who dropped the ball for Roberts.. who found out that you were going to get elevated and just quit because you were supposed to get a fighting chance.. How did that make you feel?

Nuke: How do you think it made me feel? Do the math Lobon! I still hate that son of a bitch for screwing my first big chance over!

Ric Lobon: But you cant blame him for it all.. The WCWF was relying on bad booking and Floyd im sure had some control from beyond the grave.. Mr X and Ahab put together a worthless world title tourney with the winners of each bracket obviously pointed out with their opponents being the fed jobbers.. So I guess you thought you could start from where you left off when you joined the EWA 2.0?

Nuke: I thought so . . . . but Chris Agro the president thought I should have to climb my way up again

Ric Lobon: Ahh.. so no world title shot for Nukey in the EWA now.. So after 36 hours of that fed. It closed down too.. And WCWF version 2.0 opens.. now called the XOW.. Which was the birth of a gimmick that would live with you forever, correct?

Nuke: Groovy! I went main event through Groovy Nuke. I don't know why I became that but I just wanted to dance and kick some ass. I got over with the fans and the ladies loved me. It hit high point after I destroyed Ravage in an ambulance match, which you can go see on my website then defeated Mr. Maroon for the IC title, which you can also see on my website. I became a real threat to be the best ..

Ric Lobon: So any of your losses on your website?

Nuke: Yep . .he Bar fight against Force and A real loss but not a match. When Maroon took me out with his apsen and laid my career to rest for three whole damn agonizing months

Ric Lobon: Number Two All Time Favorite Wrestling moment right there.. But thats all you have from the XOW?? Getting hit by a car?? or that was just before you came back?

Nuke: Oh I have more . . . . the DWO . .was born in the XOW along with Groovy Nuke. Me, Mclaren, Hall, and the gages . . . all became degenerates

Ric Lobon: Yeah I remember that short stint.. It was towards the beginning.. McLaren had Floyds belt which became the DWO Belt. He lost it to Maroon. Hall got fired. Krow disappeared. McLaren faded away after WrestleFest for a bit. That left Nuke all alone again.

Nuke: Yep . . .They all left me to fend for myself again. Groovy Nuke began to fade away and I was getting serious again. feuded with El Linchandor and lost my Intercontinental title to him. I was ready to go on to bigger things once again. That's when Mr. Maroon first crossed my path and got in my face. We hated each other with a passion and in the end he got the best of me with his car . . . .

Ric Lobon: Maroon didnt want to have to face with your growing power?? So you were out of the XOW with a career ending injury for what?? 3 months? Did you reflect on coming back or train everyday to come back better?

Nuke: I couldn't train for awhile because of the severity of the injuries but I had the passion to get back and claim revenge. Revenge is what feuled my returning. It took time but I eventually was ready but then Brad came along and denied my access

Ric Lobon: Fore those aformentioned 'lame' reasons?? But he did let you back.. But again not at world title status.. You were stuck jobbing to Jimmy, Bruce and Gary and others..

Nuke: yep . .and if I complained . . . .I was fired. It was unfair to me and I was quickly getting tired of being held back from where I belonged once again

Ric Lobon: But you started moving up.. In one of the last feuds in the XOW.. Who fought for you to get you out of curtian jerker? Brad was gone by then right?

Nuke: Yes and Commissioner Luke Scarsedale fought for me and eventually won me the right to fight respectibally against valid opponents

Ric Lobon: And what happened?

Nuke: It closed . .like every fed I've been in . .it closed right when I was getting to the top again . . . .It's the story of my career . . . .beign screwed over

Ric Lobon: So now thats three feds that closed when you were main eventing.. Did you think of just giving it up??

Nuke: Never . .not once. . . I'm not that kind of guy Lobon . . . I'm not some pathetic piece of crap that gives up when something bad happens. I went looking for anew place to begin the climb again

Ric Lobon: and you ended up where?

Nuke: The SCW . .Superstar Champinshit Wrestling . . . . it was a mix of old EWA and XOW wrestlers with new young blood. . . .

Ric Lobon: and did you start off at the top there??

Nuke: Near it . . . .I went straight into like my 5th feud with Shawn Hall. We have a past of great fueds and maches but this was one of the best feuds I was a part of in my career.

Ric Lobon: Thats right, he was commish of the SCW.. and you had a gimmick match for that title at the PPV.. What was that?

Nuke: It was a buried alive match for the commissionership. Best match I ever competed in. I ended Shawn Hall's career for awhile and became th SCW's commish. That was a great moment knowing that I had finally shut Hall up . . in our saga of battles

Ric Lobon: And you sided with Tyson.. But then lost the commish spot and suffered an injury right?

Nuke: Yep I was Tyson's henchmen to take out Shawn Hall and when that was all done we ruled the scw until Force decided to step in my way and fight me for my commish spot. I fully expected to retain my commish job and move on to the nextguy but I was shocked whenHall returned only to injure me and take me out for 2 months by breaking my foot.

Ric Lobon: Again out with an injury.. How do you come back from that?

Nuke: You just keep thinking of what you want. Which for me ussually was revenge . . .I don't take being injured too kindly

Ric Lobon: So you came back.. Was Hall and Force your target?

Nuke: The funny thing is . .no they weren't I was out to make ayone who crossed me pay. I didn't matter who I fought . . .as long as I could make them hurt like i had for those 2 months

Ric Lobon: But something happened and you ended up joining with the men who put you out and youve fueded with for over a year.. Why that path?

Nuke: Money! It was all about the money Ric. Everybody has a price and the Million Dollar Corporation found mine. It ended up being a perfect way for them to screw over Pure Retribution. I still have people out to get me for that screw job

Ric Lobon: So youre a whore.. And then the SCW closes.. Bad thing or good thing?

Nuke: Watch what you say Lobon . . . I don't take name calling kindly . . . If you ask me good thing . . I was nothing but a pawn for the entertainment value of laughs when I was in the SCW. I say good riddence because i saw no future for me there.

Ric Lobon: And the New Era EWA Nuke.. He's marketable value?

Nuke: Let's just say I'm planning on finally reaching that summit this time Lobon . .no matter what . .or who I have to go through . .i'm willing to do almost anything . . . Nuke's stock is on the rise

Ric Lobon: Well its been a lackluster week in the EWA so far.. Youre back with the degenerates going against the Warriors.. Something you know my thoughts about already.. So you mind if we play a little word association.. I guess its a trademark requirement now

Nuke: shoot!

Ric Lobon: ok.. first off.. Shannan McLaren?

Nuke: Great competitor and entertainers but I always have thought his ego holds him back from being the legend he could be.

Ric Lobon: Ok.. lets just go down the list then... Shawn Hall??

Nuke: Bitter Rival but friend . .We go back and forth . .we can hate each other but we can be friends like right now. He works hard and I admit he deserves to be where he is right now

Ric Lobon: Maroon??

Nuke: He can get on my nerves very easily but . .the best entertainer anyone could ever meet in the wrestling world. Multi-talented!

Ric Lobon: Ok.. then Chris Raven?

Nuke: Annoying little pest. . . . .I's always the samething when we feud. I do something to him . .he wants revenge . . .I kick his ass . .but I think I ended that all in our last feud

Ric Lobon: all right.. Loner?

Nuke: Old! I've never liked him and never will. He thinks he is the best but he is nothing but a washed up . .boring piece of compost

Ric Lobon: Ahhh... Good show... what about Arnold Layne?

Nuke: Good wrestler . . . . but nobody�s hero.

Nuke: the CW will bring him down

Ric Lobon: Ouch... Edward Stevens?

Nuke: Exactly what his name says . . prodigy . . . .quick learner . . . . .already can tick me off just as fast as maroon could ever

Ric Lobon: Ok two more... Jenny??

Nuke: Absolute fool. . . . Does she actually think she make it anywhere in this business? She challenges Larriet . . .what a joke. Advice to her . . .go back to just being a member of the jenny craig club.

Ric Lobon: ok.. last one... Ric Lobon?

Nuke: funny . .guy at time but doesn't know where to draw the line. . . . take that damn court battle shit off your site!

Ric Lobon: Of course I wont... Hey Nuke.. Its been real.. Thanks for doing this with me.. I wish you luck in your future endevours and look both ways before crossing the street ok?

Nuke: yeah ., .I'll be sure to do that

Ric Lobon: fantastic..
