MIKEKING69
Mark can you hit Bill Barker with the eliminator again? that guy needs some sense pounded into his head!

Mark
Don't worry, I've got much bigger things planned for Barker.
 
Sean
How do you pound sense into a rock?

windstar
Sean & Mark-Have a new one of those really cool moves coming out soon? I love to see 'em!
 
Sean
I have the "Ox Cutter" coming out next season.
 
Mark
Tune in this Friday and you'll see my move called "The Boot."
 
Sean
Well, I have a new move Friday too, called the "Bench Warmer."

Derbydreamer
Sean; It's great to see your dad as a commentator, what skating advice did he give you?
 
Sean
To skate a little cleaner; also to get into better shape for the upcoming Founder's Cup.

sil
Mark & Sean - Why does a jammer cut off a jam when there is plenty of time left on the clock to get more points and with no opposing jammer able to score?
 
Mark
Because I tell them too!

MIKEKING69
Sean, could you hit Richard Brown with the "nutcracker" again?
 
Sean
He's afraid I'm going to hurt his Jammers because they're old, like the rest of the Enforcers!

email
Who's the toughest opponent you've gone up against?

Mark
Do I have to say Atkinson? Okay, it's the truth.
 
Sean
That would be Mark D'Amato, because of the smell, and Tim Washington, because I like to chop down trees.

Killdarkside
Hey what happened to Heather Gunnin? That sounds pretty serious.
 
Mark
Heather broke her leg in a couple of places, had pins put in it. We're hoping to see her for next season. She was hit by a truck.
 
Sean
We all hope she gets well soon.

email
Coming from a famous roller derby family, have you ever been accused of special treatment from the league. Also, give me your comparison of today's game from years ago.
 
Sean
Yes, some have said I get special treatment, until they hear my father yelling at me. As far as the game, as we get more games under our belt, they'll become cleaner skated, better jamming, better blocking and more scoring as we get more games under our belt. The track is bigger, which allows us more skating maneuvers and stuff like that.
 
Mark
Sean's not so special because Buddy's yelled at me for a half hour too!

Ksiazek
Mark-are there any players from the WSL who remind you of players from other derby leagues that you skated in?

Mark
No, not really, the players today are better trained athletes and give 100% all the time.
 
Sean
We have better quality skaters.

This Friday Mark D'Amato shows off his new move, "The Boot!" Don't miss it on RollerJam at 8pm et/pt on TNN. D'Amato's New York Enforcers play Sean Atkinson's California Quakes.

ManManIII
Sean: What is your favorite move to use on other Jammers?
 
Sean
Uh, probably the Back Attack or Skyscraper.

William A.
Mark and Sean - what do you think about Richard Brown being allowed to skate?
 
Mark
I'm glad to see Richard back, and tune in this Friday to see why.
 
Sean
We're glad to see him back because we're giving to the elderly; the Meals on Wheels program is working!

William A.
Mark and Sean - how will you feel if Pasi and Susanne Schalin are deported?
 
Mark
I was unsuccessful in my attempt to deport the Schalins.
 
Sean
I would really miss him because I can't understand a word he's saying; plus I would loose my punching bag.
 
SUNDOGS_RULE
Sean..If you don't mind me asking...What made you give the Skyscraper to Montgomery after he bulldogged Loden?
 
Sean
Me and Denise are in love; he took it upon himself to put himself in the middle. If he ever does it again, I'm going to break his little neck!

country.com
It's going to be an awesome match! The New York Enforcers duke it out with the California Quakes this Friday on TNN at 8pm et/pt.

Foxy
Sean-Do you ever feel pressure with the pretty women and fans around?

Sean
Now I feel pressure with the pretty woman around because I'm dating Denise; as far as the fans go, no, it's great to have people come up and talk to you; and meet all kinds of fans; it's fabulous!

Wildchild
Mark I think you rule. And how do you keep your team together so well.

Mark
The Enforcers know who's boss; they play by my rules and we're happy that way.

email
Sean, my wife thinks Mark D'Amato is something special but YOU epitomize the true meaning of roller derby and the WSL. Could you please Skyscraper D'Amato once for me? Thanks, Bill Long
 
Sean
I guarantee it!!!!
 
Wildchild
Sean how is your team doing with the fight between you and Stacy?
 
Sean
We're doing fine; that seems to fire up Stacey so she does better the next game.

Rich N.
Mark-why do you hate Sean Atkinson so much? I mean, what started this feud?
 
Mark
This feud goes back many years and we have a lot of scores to settle; I'm glad RollerJam has come along so we can finish it off.
 
Sean
It all started when Mark used to babysit me; I used to kick his butt!

Teganator
Sean and Mark, Who do you hate the most in the WSL today?
 
Sean
Each other!

parmatta
mark, what's the deal with the skull? can he talk or what?
 
Mark
The Skull is a man of few words. Sean ...and little action too!

FLSDOGS10
SEAN: A FEW WEEKS AGO U PLAYED THE "DOGS" DENISE PLAYED WITH THE GUYS...WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD AS U ENTERED THE TRACK?

Sean
That this could not be happening to me!
 
FLSDOGS10
MARK: WHAT DO U THINK OF SAM MARTIN WHO CAN SUCCESSFULLY FLY RIGHT PASS YOU???
 
Mark
Sam Martin is a freak, and he's on my list!

Killdarkside
Tell us about Kinko's, D'Amato!

Mark
I have no comment.
 
Wildchild
Sean how is your team now. Are they back together?
 
Sean
Yes, they are; we're trying to get ourselves all together to get ready for the Founder's Cup coming up in June.

Derbydreamer
Sean; Does your dad still keep in touch with some of his old team mates, if so, who?
 
Sean
Yeah, Richard Brown, Otis Williams, Harry Morgan, Judy Arnold.

matt6266
mark why do you wear roller skates??
 
Mark
I don't answer that question.
 
Sean
He's got Alzheimer's, and he thinks he is on inlines!

Foxy
Sean and Mark- how do you think roller derby has changed (now that it's rollerjam)?

Mark
It's faster; it's more exciting, it's more physical.

Sean
The players are bigger and stronger than they were in the '60s and '70s. With the different styles of skating, it brings different skaters into the game, we have hockey players, ex-football players and speed skaters.

country.com
The competiton is going to be intense when the New York Enforcers battle it out with the California Quakes, Friday night at 8:00pm et/pt on TNN.

parmatta
sean, are you sure there's no sexual tension between you and stacey?
 
Sean
No, we're completely platonic, very, very close friends.

fireclown
well, we've now heard about Sean's love life, so what about you, Mark? any special lady in your life right now?
 
Mark
I don't answer personal questions.

Killdarkside
D'Amato - when are you putting on the Jammer helmet? I think you'd kick butt!
 
Mark
Tune in this Friday; it's a dream come true, you have to see it!

email
What do you eat the day of the game??
 
Sean
Lot of carbohydrates.
 
Mark
Quake Jammers!

Derbydreamer
Do you think that RollerJam will start touring different cities in the future?

Sean
We'll start touring in the fall.

FLSDOGS10
SEAN-WOULD U RATHER PLAY ON THE SAME TEAM WITH DENISE AND BE LIKE PAS AND SUSANE SCHALIN SKATING TOGETHER??

Sean
Yeah, I think we'd like to be traded to another team; or have Denise traded to my team.

Sean
Thank you for watching; hope you enjoy the show!
 
Mark
Thank you for your support this season; we're giving 100% to entertain our fans and we appreciate it!
 
Sean
The Quakes are #1!
 
Mark
Atkinson, I'll see you Friday night!
 
Sean
Yeah, but from the ground!
