Mickey Grant Interview

Mickey Grant is the director of a documentary focusing on the life of “Gentleman” Chris Adams, an English Judo champion who became a professional wrestler on the World of Sport-era UK scene and then went on to find fame and fortune in the United States with the Texas-based wrestling promotion, World Class Championship Wrestling (home of the famous Von Erich wrestling family). The documentary features interviews and comments from those who knew Chris, including his friends, co-workers, former wives and, in a bold move, the man who shot Adams dead in 2001. I was given the chance to review the film for Wrestling 101 and, graciously, was able to interview Mickey Grant after viewing the story…

Mick Foley Interview – Part One

Mick Foley had a plan, not perhaps a cunning one but one that would make fans buy the ECW One Night Stand II PPV in their droves. In hindsight it’s a shame he couldn’t have waited until December to Dismember! Foley couldn’t wait though, he had a plan that would change the face of how fans perceived his character, make a new generation adore a sixty-year old wrestler and forever change the backside of Vince McMahon…

RD Reynolds Interview

A true Internet wrestling legend, RD Reynolds has solidified himself as a man whose name is on everyones lips. And why wouldn’t it be? He’s been a manager and booker on the Independent scene, created one of the most popular wrestling websites on the net (Wrestlecrap.com), and written a hugely-successful book to go with it. His humorous style of writing has earned him a legion of fans, and his triumphs and tragedies have been shared by all. Now, RD has joined forces with Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Weekly to release “The Death Of WCW”, an emotional book chronicling the truth behind both the rise and fall of World Championship Wrestling with a mixture of humour and seriousness. I was able to chat with RD recently and find out more about the book, as well as Wrestlecrap and the man himself…
