Kash radio interview...

[Guest Slapnuts00]

-Kash started off by talking about how he got into wrestling. He basically wanted to get out and see the world and experience new things. He had always dreamed of being in the entertainment business and he didn't want to live a normal life like everyone else. He met guys like Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson who told him he had a possibly of making it in the business someday.

 

-He went on to talk about his stint in ECW and how he went out there and always gave the best performance he could. He said it was scary to compete in a match on PPV with a broken jaw. He was trying to impress the promoters/bookers at the time, and he knew if took time off, he would be forgotten about real quickly and he would lose his spot. He said it was tough getting the spot in the first place due to all the injuries he had suffered, and he said if you didn't work, you didn't eat.

 

-Kash said that his stint with NWA-TNA started with a phone call from Jeremy Borash, who wanted to know if Kash was tied up to any other promotions. Kash had a tryout with TNA and it went from there.

 

- He talked about the various ways that he can use the Huracanrana. He said that sometimes he would botch a move and, by messing it up, end up turning that move into something else.

 

-Kash said that his favorite matches in TNA thus far have been with either Amazing Red or Jerry Lynn. He said that Lynn is the most talented wrestler he has ever been in the ring with. He said that Red reminds him of himself when he was first starting. He said that bones break and take a little longer to heal when you reach 30, which is why he doesn't do as many crazy things in the ring as he used to. He said Red is fun to work with because he can throw Red around.

 

-If WWE called him tomorrow, he might not leave TNA as easily as some other guys would. He said he isn't a big mark for television or a big mark for WWE, and the only thing he is a mark for is paying his bills. He said if WWE offered him the right amount of money that he feels he is worth, he might take them up on an offer. However, he is currently under contract with TNA and he is pretty happy where he is right now. He said that he is satisfied with the amount of money he is making between TNA and other work he is doing, and he doesn't feel WWE would offer much more than what he is currently making.

 

-He said that ECW was more full-blast, while TNA has a more Southern-style of wrestling that is less stiff, which he doesn't have a problem with because it takes a lesser toll on his body.

 

-Kash talked about his brief stint in WCW, saying that he was working on his release from ECW and gave up money that was owed to him by Paul Heyman so he could make more money in WCW. Once he got to WCW, they liked his work but the company ended up being sold to Vince McMahon a few weeks later. He was offered a spot from WWE, but he would have had to move to Cincinnati where the developmental territory was, and would have made virtually no money. He felt he could already work and didn't need to be developed. He said all WWE needed to do was tell them was they wanted and he would have done it.

 

-He said that he hasn't really watched the WWE's product in a few years. The last time he watched a WWE show, there was only a few minutes of wrestling in a half hour, and the rest of the time Vince McMahon and Triple H were going back and forth on the microphone trying to create their own soap opera. He said that the ratings for WWE are poor because they are trying to fool the people into thinking there are two separate companies, and nobody believes it.

 

-Kash has no problem with Paul Heyman and Heyman was the person who made Kid Kash.

 

-He called Rob Van Dam a good friend of his who helped him get where he is today.

 

-He said Vince Russo is controversial, but a nice guy who has helped him with his promos.

 

-Kash gave props to Jeff Jarrett, because the hard work him and Jerry Jarrett have done with TNA has allowed talent wrestlers to continue being employed.

 

-Kash hopes he can continue his wrestling career as long as he can without having any regrets.

 

-He wrapped up the interview by talking about how it was a shame that one company or one promoter could hold down the careers of so many talent performers, but that was the way the wrestling business worked.
