Guest Lokust Report post Posted November 29, 2004 http://www.amalgamusic.com/cgi-bin/ikon/ik...ct=ST;f=1;t=176 I just did a shoot interview on www.heelsection.com with the founder of the Heel Section. This is a point of interest for any TNA fan, especially those who were fans in the beginning. Alot of dirt and shit gets kicked around uncovering the truth, and the guilty parties in TNA are exposed for being the bastards that they are. If you think TNA gives a crap about their fans then this is mandatory reading. Just wanted to throw this out there to those interested. http://www.amalgamusic.com/cgi-bin/ikon/ik...ct=ST;f=1;t=176 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted November 29, 2004 For the lazy and/or people whom don't want to give his site free hits: 11/27/04 Heel Section Shoot Interview with Doug Paige Not what you expected? There's no better candidate for the first ever Heel Section Shoot Interview than Doug Paige. To those of you who don't know him, Doug "HeelSection1" Paige was the mastermind of the Heel Section. This thing was his baby, his idea, and his vision. Doug has been out of the limelight for quite awhile now. This shoot interview is designed to answer all the questions that have routinely come up over the past year and a half about the Heel Section, the truth about our falling out with TNA, and what the future holds for this website in general. To those of you who do know him, this shoot interview will be all the more entertaining. This thing is being done in classic Heel Section style. I am not pulling any punches with the questions, and Doug has promised to lay it all out on the line with the answers. No gimmicks, no bullshit. Just the truth served up on a silver platter. Sit back and get yourself a beer. This is gonna take awhile. Lokust: ya ready? HeelSection1: yes Lokust: we've got 20 something questions here, so this is your opportunity to tell your story and clear your name... HeelSection1: About time Lokust: : first question... HeelSection1: shoot Lokust: Where have you been and what have you been up to? HeelSection1: Where I have been is Memphis. I was transfered here a year ago. What I have been up to is working and spending time with my girlfriend. I just needed a break from the whole internet thing for a while. A hiatus if you will (spoken with a Dusty Rhodes accent). I am recharged now and ready to get the site going again! Lokust:. Are you still keeping up with TNA? HeelSection1: Honestly..not at all. I have Direct TV and they dropped TNA a while back. And I have seen 2 episodes of Impact so far and neither one of them interested me. I am trying to keep up with it again for the sake of the website now. I saw the results of the PPV. Nash, Hall Hogan, Savage, DDP.....it is TNA. Totally Nitro Again! Lokust:. Most wrestling fans cheer the babyface. It's just the nature of the business. When and why did you turn heel as a fan? HeelSection1: When is going to be hard to answer. It's kind of like asking me why I'm a Cubs fan. I think it's something you're just born with. I remember watching matches when I was younger and trying to figure out why everyone cheered for Hogan. He was kind of cheesy and couldn't wrestle. Then you had Ric Flair who was stylin' and profilin' and could wrestle rings around all of them. It started that way. Look at Savage and Steamboat. Savage was a bad ass and had Elizabeth. Steamboat was vanilla and had this goofy, hairy idiot following him around with a green tongue. I never understood why there was even a choice. Of course Steamboat had to have Steele cheat for him to win and they still booed Savage. I was in full agreement with Jesse The Body. A miscarriage of justice. Heels just always seemed cooler to me. Lokust: In your opinion who are the greatest heels of all time? HeelSection1: Ric Flair...no doubt. The Horsemen in general. The Hart Foundation in their prime were way up there. The Dudleys in ECW were hard to beat. Kash in TNA was one of the best in my opinion. Jericho, Edge and Christian were some of the most entertaining ones for sure. The list is endless. HeelSection1: TNA did an excellent heel turn on us. Lokust: Indeed they did HeelSection1: They must get some consideration Lokust: Tell us about your vision of what the Heel Section was supposed to be all about. HeelSection1: Originally, it was supposed to be about me, my uncle and my cousins going to a weekly wrestling show together. I had been to a lot more wrestling events than they had so I was a bit more....vocal at first. Yelling at the officials and giving Mike Tenay a hard time and so on. They joined in and we had a lot of fun and so did, it seemed, others around us. A few weeks later we moved to sit over in what would become "The Section" and it started to grow a bit. That's where we met you and Evil-Lyn. As far as my vision? I wanted it to be a select group of friends who got together once a week and had fun cheering for the wrestlers they liked. No more, no less. Did it become more than that? Some would say so. Was it my purpose? Not at all. But I wasn't going to fight it. It was fun. We went with it. If I had it all to do over again, I would do it in a heartbeat. The only thing I would change is the ending. Lokust: When did you establish the Heel Section and who were the original members? HeelSection1: The original Heel Section was me and some guys from work who would go to see Bert's show on the weekends way before TNA. That's where I became familiar with Athena and Abyss (Prince Justice back then). And that is actually where the great feud began with "The Cowboy" James Storm. "Kill The Cowboy" started way before TNA. But the TNA version, or the real one, started probably officially around week 6. And the original members were as follows. Rims, Uncle Heel, Sellout, Lokust, Evil-Lyn, Daniel, ColeTrain, The Bro and myself. More joined later, a lot of others didn't. Lokust: Alot of newer fans may not know what all went on back in the day. To bring them up to speed, how do you feel about the way TNA utilized the Heel Section in the beginning? HeelSection1: In the beginning? Wisely. They let us do our thing. What we did was help get the crowd in to the show and promote the product. It seemed as though they understood that free publicity was a good thing. They were putting out an excellent product in my opinion. I was proud to have it in my hometown. I was extremely happy to be a part of it every week and I wanted to let the world know about it. I know if I were running a promotion and I had people that wanted to PAY to support it every week and promote it online and in public for FREE, I would take advantage of it. That's just smart business. Lokust: I want to hit on IHOP. It was common knowledge that IHOP was Heel Section territory. We always had our after show parties there, and TNA went to Hooters and Hurricanes. It didn't take long until Bob Ryder and his crew started swinging by our IHOP post show parties and running angles by us to get our opinions of the show, like what we thought worked and what didn't.. Looking back on it what are your thoughts on this? HeelSection1: People always act like we followed the workers out there or something. That was always a little confusing. Not neccesarily at IHOP but at the shows even. I never understood how they could value our opinion of the show one minute and then just shit on us the next. Just real class acts out there at TNA. Lokust: Do you think the Heel Section really helped put over wrestlers in TNA? HeelSection1: Helped put over? Honestly, I don't like to think about that. Because the wrestlers either get themselves over or they don't. If that includes playing off of the crowd, then so be it. It has been said that we helped get Sabin over or Mike Sanders. I disagree. I think they got over because of their talent. All that I hope we did was make it more fun for them to perform. If other people noticed their talents because of something we were doing in the crowd, Then I am certainly happy about that. I would never take the credit for a wrestler getting over. On that same note, I will not take the blame when they don't...for the same reasons. Lokust: Kinda like a double edged sword there, like the way TNA blamed the Section for AMW not being 100% over during the XXX feud? HeelSection1: Right. First of all, I think everyone was over in that match. That was so confusing to me. They had one of the hottest, loudest crowds ever at TNA that night. Those four guys busted their asses and put on what I still consider to be one the best matches TNA ever had. I was there and I heard the "Kill The Cowboy" chants that came form everywhere BUT our section. But I never felt that anyone didn't get over. And if anyone failed to get over that night, it sure as hell wasn't our fault. I just still don't see it. Lokust: What they wanted was AMW to be 100% babyfaces, which they were not. It was easily 50/50 if not more on the side of XXX, and Bob Ryder blamed the XXX cheers on us. HeelSection1: Agreed. XXX got cheers because they were one of the best tag teams around. Do you think XXX sat around thinking we were the reason that they were getting cheers? No. Which is why it doesn't make sense to blame the other on us. People like who they like, plain and simple. Look at The Rock in WWE. He was a babyface and people HATED him. It didn't work and Vince was smart enough to notice it and work with it instead of force the way they wanted it to be down the publics throat. They turned him heel and he became one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling. Lokust: I remember the pre show sermon from Bob Ryder the week after that cage match, where we were specifically asked not to cheer for XXX. He told us that the AMW/XXX cage match was not as good as it could have been due to the split crowd, and everytime we cheered XXX we brought half the crowd with us. What are your comments on that whole censoring the fans ordeal? HeelSection1: I think they are in the wrong business. My problem with it from a personal standpoint was the fact that we paid for our seats everyweek. I think there is a lot of confusion about that. I never got free tickets. I paid every week for the right to sit there and cheer for who I wanted to cheer for. They wanted to treat me like I worked for them or something. Wrestling is about the fans. TNA needs to grasp this concept. Without the fans there is no wrestling. WWE knows this and they make money. It's not difficult to figure out. I felt the whole situation was completely out of line and unacceptable, so I left. Lokust: 4/30. Raven vs Jarrett. What were your thoughts when all the dust and newspapers settled? HeelSection1: Wow. Well, you might be able to tell the story better than I could since I wasn't there that night. That was the first TNA that I had missed since the Heel Section was formed. I went to a concert in Knoxville with Daniel. When I got out of the show I had a whole bunch of messages on my phone. I called Rims and he told me that Uncle Heel had gotten thrown out of the show and that we had littered the ring with newspapers and that shockingly....Jarrett had retained. Honestly, I thought the newspaper thing never should have happened. I wouldn't have done it. But I'm not going to fault people for being passionate about something. TNA should have at least been happy about that. They had put on a show that provoked a response. There was way too much of a big deal made about it in my opinion. They acted like you guys were throwing batteries or something. Oh...and I thought the match sucked. Especially after all the hype and buildup. Lokust: What do you think went wrong with the Heel Section? Was it TNA, or internal combustion, or a mixture of both? HeelSection1: It was TNA. There was nothing wrong with the Heel Section. It's kind of like when you have your group of friends in high school and then you all go to different colleges. You just kind of drift apart. If TNA would have left us alone in Nashville there is a good chance that we would be in Florida supporting them now. It would also help if the show didn't absolutley suck now...but I digress. The original Heel Section ended shortly after that fateful night with good old Bobby Ryder. No matter what anyone wants to think. Lokust:This moves us on to my next question, and this is the only time I am going to bring this up... HeelSection1: oh boy Lokust: One of the low points of the Heel Section for me was when the labels were dropped and all of the bullshit ensued. I was personally there when Athena coined the phrase "B-Team" at IHOP. What are your thoughts on that and why did you catch all the shit for it? HeelSection1: Well for the record, I caught all the shit for all Heel Section problems. I kind of became the unofficial spokesperson. I think because of that unofficial title that some people were looking to me for some kind of stamp of approval, as far as being "The Heel Section". I'll try to sum this up. I have no problem with any of the "B-Team" on a personal level. The original Heel Section was like my family. Some actually were my family, but the group in general had become a real tight crew. It is nothing personal against anyone, but they just weren't a part of the family. They wouldn't invite everyone to be a part of their family and neither would we. There was just a time to let it go. Why would you want to stick around and be Bob Ryders heel Section anyway? That's what it became. Lokust: What is your take on TNA jerking the seats around in the Heel Section week after week? Who do you think was behind that, and why do you think they would do that to paying fans? HeelSection1: I thought it was petty and childish. I kind of touched on this earlier. I have no idea why they would do it or who was behind it. At first it honestly just seemed like they weren't very organized. I mean the tickets were written on a piece of paper and they didn't have a seating chart...so there you go. Then there was the time that the seat numbers were all mixed up and Borash was in the ring laughing and pointing and saying something like, "I got you". It seems kind of obvious who was behind that. But I don't want to specualte on anything else because I just don't know. I think it's sad though. Not good business, once again. Lokust: If you could have done one thing differently with the Heel Section, what would it have been? HeelSection1: Not much really. I would have liked to have spoken to a few more people at TNA and told them what I thought. I would have liked to talked to Ryder again for sure. He appearently had some choice things to say about me to some people at the shows. What a guy. One thing to change? Maybe to have moved on to ROH or 3PW afterwards. Somewhere where they appreciate fans. Lokust: Bigger Travesty. The *death* of the Heel Section or Steve Bartman fucking up Moises Alou on that foul ball? HeelSection1: Good lord.... Gotta be Bartman for me. The Heel Section lives on in spirit. Unfortunately...so does the curse of the goat. Lokust: yeah. I would have rather seen the Cubs go on to win the Series too. HeelSection1: The Heel Section could have gone to Wrigley for the Series.... Lokust: That would have been a hell of a roadtrip. Lokust: What is your opinion about the way TNA squashed or stifled anybody who was more over or got more heat than Jarrett? (Newjack, Sanders, Douglas, Raven) HeelSection1: My opinion is a pretty popular one. Workers shouldn't be bookers. For a good example of this, see "Death of WCW". Lokust: If you were handed the book, what would be the first few things you would do to TNA? HeelSection1: That's difficult for me to say considering the fact that I don't watch anymore. I would stop replaying WCW highlights with TNA stars for one. I would get a new color man. Maybe Shane Douglas. I would get away from the dinosaurs and try to build up younger talent. There are a lot of great free agents out there that have not wrestled for every freakin' promotion 50 times over already. I would focus more and what they can do right with their show and stop worrying about what WWE is doing. Let's clear the air. They are not competition for the WWE. It's really sad that they think they are. And now they are just becoming an old folks home. I don't claim to know how to book I do claim to be a fan of wrestling. And TNA sucks. Lokust: Out of all the people you met in TNA, who was the coolest? HeelSection1: Athena was and is a good friend, although I knew of her through a mutual friend pre-TNA. Kid Kash is the man. For a guy who has such a bad reputation, he was the one who treated me with the most respect. Kash is a genuinely nice guy who has some very strong opinions. I can relate to that. Besides Kash though? Mike Sanders. Trinity is a sweetheart and one of the more fun people you will ever meet. But the actual coolest people? Lokust and Evil-Lyn! Lokust: Sweet! HeelSection1: Score! Lokust: Now, on the other side of the coin... out of all the people you met in TNA, who was the biggest piece of shit? HeelSection1: Besides Ryder? Well I won't say these people were pieces of shit. Who was I not impressed with? CM Punk and Raven (sorry guys). They both put off that "I'm way better than you" vibe. There are several that left a lasting impression on me yet I have no opinion on their character. Teddy Hart comes to mind. I guess a lot of people want me to say James Storm. He never did much to me personally. Lokust: Get a glass of water because this one is a monster HeelSection1: I'm set Lokust: Word Association. HeelSection1: do it ECW = The Greatest TNA = Had potential WWE = The kings WWF = Panda bears Trinity = Sweetheart Jeremy Borash = tool Jeff Jarrett = JJJ Kid Kash = under utilized Bob Ryder = liar. creepy. fraud. hypocrite. Athena = goddess Hulk Hogan = Drizzling shits Randy Savage = legend Elizabeth = sad Lex Luger = Waste Rudy the Ref = Heel...it's the sideburns. Vince McMahon = Genius Paul Heyman = Visionary Eric Bischoff = Weatherman Memphis Wrestling = Sucks. BAD. Needs help. Lollipop = Was always nice to me. April Pennington = Christies.... Infynity = Misunderstood AMW = That team with Chris Harris Rimdizzle = The shizzle Uncle Heel = Missed. (He's in Kuwait) That crazy Popular Genuis kid Scott = Sugar Free The Bro = The man. I miss that guy a lot. I hear he got married.... One of the funniest writers ever. Evil-Lyn = Friend *cough*LOKUST*cough* = FRIEND! Daniel = Brother Bo Heyward = Friend. We still keep in touch as well. Primetime D = Missed. How is the PTD? That's a cool guy The Dane = Old school. That man knows his old school wrasslin Skull = Foster....Australian for Heel. One of the nicest guys you could hope to meet Mitch = Confusing. I hope he's doing well though. Wez = Funny. He's been cracking me up for15 years now. The assholes = Who? Jerry Lynn = Nice. He is up there with Kash on the coolest list. new f'n show Sabu = Ouch RVD = Under utilized Tommy Dreamer = innovator Rowdy Section = "original" Taco Bell = Chalupas Martin from Oklahoma = He's OK. HeelSection1: HailSabin! Lokust: indeed. Lokust: What is next for Doug Paige, the Heel? HeelSection1: I wish I could say a reunion. Hopefully setting up some interviews for the website. I have a few in mind. I just want to get this thing going again. Hopefully I will also get a chance to come to Nashville and see Rims wrestle. I am extremely proud of that guy. Lokust: Any regrets? HeelSection1: No. Lokust: Finally, what is your favorite Heel Section moment or memory? HeelSection1: That's a tough one. There was the Mike Sanders...HEEEEEYYYYYY!!!! The night when Storm won the tag belts and we had "that" sign above him in the picture on the website. The Smackdown Spoilers. The Borash is a tool signs. Too many to name. I loved every moment. I loved the Wrestlemania 20 trip. Lokust: That was some good times. We still owe you some money for that. heh heh heh... Do you have anything you'd like to say to the public in closing? HeelSection1: Not really. I think most people made their judgements about us already. I would like to say thanks to all the workers and the people that I met throughout the whole thing that "got" it. I met some tremendous people because of The Heel Section and it will always be special to me. Hopefully it's not over yet! Lokust: The Heel Section might not be over yet, but this interview is.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 Wow. It feels like TNS all over again, huh? Never, EVER compare this place to TNS. That board was filled with idiots, and only me (AKA Drezzy) and Mike were there to really bring about some common fucking sense. Amdub (AMWRULES) was the only other person worth talking to, despite his TNA markdom, because he knew his shit about wrestling, regardless of how opinionated he was. As for why this is important? The Heel Section were the most vocal and loyal fans that TNA has ever had. The "beginning of the end," so to speak, for TNA was when The Heel Section voiced their massive disapproval of Jesus Jarrett going over Raven by throwing trash into the ring, and then they began to "break up" The Heel Section. Good read, guys. I only wish I was in TN around then to chill with you fucks, but alas, I'm stuck in MA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Cooke 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 Maybe the funniest thing I have ever read about wrestling. Russo couldn't even make this stuff up. Bob Ryder going to IHOP and asking for their opinions one week and then turning on them the next week is classic. But the heel section is so stupid in general. They said they should have went to 3PW or ROH. The last thing ROH needed during the heel sections "glory days" was a bunch of rag tag rubes going against the medium because they need to feel special.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2004 If you think that The Heel Section was just going against the medium, then you need to actually learn. They cheered for whoever they wanted to cheer for, and it just so happened that the majority of who they cheered for were heels (which isn't surprising, considering that the only face during TNA's heyday really worth cheering for was AJ Styles, and even then he was borderline heel).

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2004 Yes, because having an interview with one of TNA's most dedicated and vocal fans from its first year of business is SUCH an idiotic idea, especially when the fan (and his friends) in question became the source of controversy, and the primary example of when TNA stopped listening to its fans. Fuck you, cunt. It was an interview for fans that remember the Heel Section and even how important they were to TNA in the beginning, and conducted for the board of the group of fans, but one of them decided to post it here. Heaven forbid fans vocalize their opinion on what happened, especially when they were so close to the action! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2004 Corey Lazarus, I really like your TV reports. But I think this interview was a terrible idea. I understand the Heel Section represents the "fans that TNA stopped listening to" (which represents a turning point in the company where it started to suck...even more.) But still, the interview is pathetic for interviewing a fan, and TNA is pathetic for having to have "controversy" with their fans in the first place. Different strokes to rule the world.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 This interview was a pretty good read, because it delved a little deeper into the surroundings of TNA's turning on The Heel Section more than anything else written about it (namely a short paragraph-or-two blurb in various reports, and Borash's bashing of them regularly in his short-lived online column). Like it or not, The Heel Section was a big part of TNA's early days, so much so that TNA even acknowledged their worth by printing Heel Section t-shirts and selling them through their site.
