Interview:
Slyk Wagner Brown, Wrestler - 5th June 2003
What's
your background?
I
was born in Jamaica, but have spent more than half
my life in America. I'm a US Citizen, so I normally
refer to myself as a Jamerican.
How
and why did you get into wrestling?
I
got into pro wrestling because I use to watch it with
my family and thought this looks like fun and it would
give me the opportunity to kick some ass and talk
trash while doing it. Where else can you do that?
How
has the media been good and bad to you?
I
don't really have that much media attention right
now.
What's
your stats?
6'2"
232 lbs. I'm 23 years old From Boston, Ma.
What's
your finisher?
Appreciation
Bomb.
How
has the internet helped you?
I've
managed to become a popular name on the internet by
working all over, so it has worked out good for me,
especially with the fact that the internet is available
24/7.
What
TV shows have you appeared on?
WWE
Smackdown, MSNBC, NESN, and NWA TNA.
Tell
us about the WWE experience?
It
not only met my expectations, but it went far beyond.
These guys are making tons of money, so there's no
reason for them to even acknowledge me, but they're
not like that, everyone is down to earth and seems
to enjoy what they do. It was definitely a positive
environment, and definitely the best learning experience
of my career.
Your
funniest road story?
We
went out to eat at Denny's before a wrestling show
and I asked the waiter for some orange juice, but
I wanted to make sure it was pulp free. He said that
it wasn't pulp free, but he assured me that it didn't
have much pulp in it either. So, after mulling it
over in my head for a little, I told him ok, bring
me the oj. He brought the oj and returned a few minutes
later with our food only to hear me tell April that
the oj was pulp free and that our waiter was a f--king
idiot!
Have
you ever received racist treatment in wrestling?
No
doubt, but it's something that happens no matter where
you go. However, I just try to ignore stuff like that,
and remain focus. I have plenty of goals, and I intend
on accomplishing each and every one of them.
What
have been your biggest accomplishments?
Obviously,
wrestling for the WWE, NWA TNA,
and having the opportunity to wrestle overseas. At
the moment, I'm trying really hard to get work in
Japan, so wish me luck.
What's
next for the Slyk man?
Getting
to Japan and showing the Japanese people what they've
been missing all these years, and then come back to
the United States and prove everybody, who wouldn't
give me a chance wrong!
What
else should our audience know about you?
I'm
currently doing a match of the month on my website,
and the current match is Slyk vs. Mafia!
...end.
Editors
comment: Slyk Wagner Brown has all the tools to make
it to the top of the wrestling business. Don't bet
against da Slyk man. Other than that, Slyk is a heck
of a guy, and a good bloke as we say he down under
in Australia.
