  • Iconic interviews

    I feel that most people don’t respect or care to interview wrestlers. And not only do you do that but you do an awesome job. The questions are always so well researched and awesome. You can tell you’re a fan and not just a reporter. Who genuinely seems like a nice guy. One thing, I’d love more attitude era and ecw guys.
