TB: I have held the Mid-South Tag Team Championships w/Kevin Northcutt TD: When did you decide to become a wrestler? TB: I wanted to be a wrestler my entire life. Most kids grow up saying I want to be a pilot, or I want to be a fireman. When people asked me I always said "I want to be a wrestler." TD: And how did you get started? TB: I started by getting swindled and cheated by promoters in the Alabama Territories. I finally found someone to train me in Louisiana. TD: Who has been the biggest influence on your career? TB: The biggest influence on my career has been Kevin Northcutt. He has shown me the ropes in this business and I owe him a great deal. TD: What has been the greatest moment of your career? TB: When it comes, you'll be the first person I call. TD: Who are/were you trained by? What kind of athletic background do you have before you became a wrestler? TB: I was trained 3 years ago by the Junkyard Dog. I was involved with competitive Powerlifting. TD: Who is your favorite wrestler to work with in the ring? TB: Without a shadow of a doubt it is Stan Sweetan. I have feuded with Stan Sweetan for 2 years, and over 9 states. I cannot seem to get away from him. Promoters across the South see us wrestle and always book the two of use to wrestle in their promotion. Our matches are stellar and we always seem to please the fans. TD: Any major enemies? If so, who, and why? TB: I try not to have any enemies in the business. It is my goal not to burn a bridge in this business. TD: Which promotion gives you the most heat? TB: I always can get my best heat while working the Kansas Territories for the WCCW. TD: Do you ever consider working in the WWF, WCW, or ECW if they are interested in your talent? TB: If they are interested, I would have no problem committing to one company TD: If you had to pick, WWF, WCW or ECW? Where would you go? And why? TB: In the unlikely situation of having to choose, I would have to weigh my decision on the place that would best benefit my career, and it is almost impossible to make a choice. TD: Do you have a computer? If so, what do you think of the reporters and sheet writers on the internet? TB: Yes, I do have a computer. Some sheet writers are very beneficial to the wrestling business while others are nothing but senseless bullshit. TD: Do you have a college degree or any other higher education? TB: I have two years of college, with studies in both Buisness and Petroleum Technology. TD: Any advice you'd give a wannabee wrestler? TB: The decisions that you make will effect the rest of your life. Be careful of what you choose and shut up and listen. TD: Any final comments for the readers? TB: My whole life is the buisness of wrestling. My whole life is about going out to entertain you the wrestling fans. My only hope is that when it is all said and done, you will remember me.
