RINGSIDER:  So why do you feel the PWI rankings….(Interrupted by the Outlaw)

OUTLAW:  Listen up you geek, I’m the IPWA World Heavyweight Champion.  Now I know the NWA and the  WWF World Championships might hold a slight advantage when it comes to status, but how can you rank wrestlers like Junkyard Dog , Ultimate Warrior and others who don’t currently have any gold around their waists above myself, a World Heavyweight Champion.

RINGSIDER:  Well, I…….(Interrupted by the Outlaw, again)

OUTLAW:  Who asked you your opinion?  That’s your problem Kelly, you conduct an interview but you don’t shut your trap.  Listen up reporter in training, your looking at almost 10 pounds of gold, the World Heavyweight Championship of the IPWA.  And who owns it?  I do, the Outlaw.  I’ve taken on all comers, beat them all.

RINGSIDER:  So you feel your ranking is not just?

OUTLAW:  What the hell planet did you just drop off from Kelly?  Have you not been listening?  I don’t give a damn about where I’m ranked.  Ranking in the PWI is all about kissing the right butt, and the ole Outlaw doesn’t kiss anyone’s butt. 

RINGSIDER:  So the PWI rankings mean nothing then?

Ranking doesn’t put the old green in my wallet boy!  But I’ll tell you what does. Promoters all over the country calling me, asking me to come to their territory to defend my championship.  They all have the next best thing, some young inexperienced buck looking to make a name for them selves ay my expense.  So for the right amount of cash, the ole Outlaw flys into their town to take care of business.  Of course once these pretty boys with all their muscles and spay on tans get into the ring with the World Champion, they quickly realize that all that working out, posing and flexing in the mirror doesn’t help ya in the ring when you’re getting your ass kicked by World Heavyweight Champion!

Kelly, you must be on the take from PWI and Apter...I'm cutting this interview short. Later!

This interview first appeared in the September edition of RINSIDER 94, sold independent wrestling shows throughout the Southeastern United States.
