Interview with Drake Edwards
Q: ”Tell us a bit about
yourself, where you come from and what your motivations are?”
A: ”Hey Lyria thanks for
the opportunity to speak with you. I along with my twin brother grew
up in Ohio. We both played sports in school. Mainly baseball and
football. I was one of the smaller guys at my school, was told... you
got the heart but not the size. Something I have been told all my
life. As for motivations, it sounds cliche and maybe it is, but it is
not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the heart in
the dog. Basiclly you tell me I can't do something, I will accept
the challenge.”
Q: ”What inspired you to
get into the wrestling business?”
A: ”I grew up watching
wrestling and was in love instantly. I went around to several indy
promotions wanting to get trained.. I wanted to do this! I had
several doors slammed in my face with people laughing at me.. You are
not big enough... you will get killed... I was close to giving up,
but one fed brought me in as a commentator with no guarantees of
anything else. I jumped at the chance, and that is how I got into the
business, as a commentator. I eventually got trained... and what a
ride its been since.”
Q: ”Where did you learn
to wrestle? Who was your trainer?”
A: ”I begin to wrestle
at DIE, however one of my trainers. was Viola Beaumont. I have also
picked things up from several others.”
Q: ”What is your
wrestling style?”
A: ”I use a lot of
strikes. kicks in particular. My superkick which I call the Dragon
Rising has put away several opponents. I am not afraid to do high
flying moves either. I am constantly learning and working on new
things.. I have stepped up my technical game and been working on
submissions... so to try and recap.... I take whatever works and go
with it.”
Q: ”What’s your
entrance music? Why did you choose it?”
A: ”My current music
is"You're Going Down" by Sick Puppies. It gets the blood
pumping everytime I hear it. One of the lines is "If one of us
is going, one of us is going down" That is how I approach all of
my matches... It might be me.. if might be you... but one of us is
going down.”
Q: “You are having this
Tuesday a very important match at Royal Flush against your own
brother, your thoughts about it?”
A: “Its been a long time
coming.... he screwed me out of the DIE World Heavyweight
Championship last year at Crapshoot. Its been brewing since.... His
ego is out of control... think of all the stuff he has done not just
to me..... but to Natalie and others..... I am tired of it, and I
will not stop until I end him and the "Greatness"
Q: “If you should win
this match, do you think that he will see the light and realize his
errors?”
A: “That is my hope. I
can not stand what he has become. He is so much better then this.
Q: “What is your
strategy going into this match? Your brother as far as we know is not
a trained wrestler, unlike you. Will this be an advantage and if it
is one, how will it effect the match?”
A: “My strategy is to
use my speed to keep him off balance. Go after him with a fury of
strikes and take him down. He is bigger and stronger then I am.. so I
can not get in his grasp... I do that... I walk away the winner.”
Q: ”You mentioned that
you had a bad time thanks to your brother. But what are your most
cherished moment in D.I.E?”
A: ” One of my favorite
memories was the night of my first match I was so nervous.. but when
you get in that ring... look across to your opponent.. you know you
are in for a wild ride. Of course the sweetest moment for me was
when I won my first DIE World Heavyweight Championship. What a night
that was.”
