Sexxxy Eddy Interview.
By P.Staniforth 2005.
He's one of the most charismatic and controversial characters in professional
wrestling....worldwide. He's a star of the IWS in Canada, and has taken
his talents to CZW in the USA, and also to Europe. He owns my favourite
catchphrase in the business! He is Sexxxy Eddy. Some of the contents of
this interview might not be considered entirely suitable for younger or
shockable readers, and I just thought it might be best to state that now....
you've been warned.
PETER) : Eddy, it's an absolute pleasure to have this interview, and I
know I've caught you at a busy time what with CZW's Cage of Death coming
up. Can I start by asking a little about your childhood?
EDDY) : I was like every other kid growing up in the 1980s, I wore
jogging pants with my shirt tucked in and always had my finger up my nose.
Until one autumn day in 1987 on my way back from school, I found a porno
magazine (remember, this is before internet porn). This was the key to
unlock the door to my success, my life would never be the same again!
The rest of my childhood was spent collecting pornography in all of its
glorious forms: books, videos, toys, games,
so that I can master
the art of sex. I spent hours playing with myself, perfecting many techniques,
until I was old enough to have female friends and put all my teachings
to practice.
Everyone always remembers their first, in fact I still have that magazine
in my collection. Although, the pages are all permanently stuck together
(even the advertisements
I needed a place to shoot!).
PETER) : Somehow, I don't think this is going to be the last time during
this interview when I'm not quite sure how to follow something you've
said! When did you first watch wrestling, and did you know you wanted
to become a wrestler from that moment?
EDDY) : I used to watch the WWEs old show "Saturday Nights
Main Event" with my dad once a month at midnight. Years later, I
went to see a indy wrestling show with my family where the benefits went
to the "Telethon Of Stars", my sister was their guest of honour
(she is physically disabled from birth with Spina-bifida). I hadnt
realized that wrestling could be done on a much smaller level, but that
there was still interest from the fans. I wanted to be in that spotlight
too, but it only hit me years later.
I wrestled for three years in high school on the amateur wrestling team.
It was very different than what I do today, but during a match in 1995,
I lifted my opponent in a 'northern lights suplex'. The referee warned
me that the move was dangerous, but the crowd was cheering so loud for
me. I realized then how much I appreciate the crowd and that I always
want to hear them yell for me. Professional wrestling uses athleticism
& acrobatics, and the fans go crazy for the characters. At that moment,
I realized that I also wanted to be a surreal character, like the wrestlers
on television. Dont try this at home, my ass!!! I dislocated my
brothers arm many times!
PETER) : Well, I think no matter how much you're told not to do something,
you're bound to try! How did you get your break in the business, and who
trained you?
EDDY) : I was trained by Max Rendinella, (who was known as "Heavy
Maxx Fury"),and it was he who got me started and got my foot in the
door of Northern Championship Wrestling, where I continued my training
with Marc Pilon (known as "Marc the Grizzly").
I met Max through mutual friends in the porn industry. He had seen a tape
at the studios of my first backyard match held at my College on gym mats,
where all the students came out to witness since this had never been done
at my school before. Max had already started his professional wrestling
training, and he wanted to have a match with me. We worked very hard on
the match (my first in a ring). After the match, he knew that I had the
same desire and drive that he had.
I had went to see some really low budget shows in my area before, but
I was always disappointed. The next weekend, I went to check the NCW show
out, see Maxs performance, and meet some of the boys. I was pleasantly
surprised, I had finally found a reputable school with a great trainer,
about an hour away from my house. The rest is history! When I finally
graduated from Marcs 'School of Bumps', I really appreciated what
all these athletic performers must endure before even setting foot in
a ring. This taught me to respect my opponent, to respect the ring, to
respect the sport, and to respect all those who have passed before me.
PETER) : Well put. So, what was your first match like?
EDDY) : My first in ring match was on April 23rd in 1999, and it was an
incredible feeling! The match wasnt five stars to todays standards,
but it was extremely impressive for my debut. The show was also held at
my College like the previous year, but this time in the gymnasium and
in a real wrestling ring. I could barely sleep one whole week before the
show. I was accompanied by five lovely ladies for my strip (two of which
I had sex with prior to the event)! My dad came out with a cigar as my
sleazy manager, my brother was the camera man, and all my friends came
out to show their support.
I wanted to do everything, and I did. We broke tons of objects, my ass
was exposed during the course of the match, I landed in thumbtacks for
the first time, my face was covered in blood, and I pulled out the debut
of my now famous "Garbage-sault" (doing a moonsault with a garbage
can over my head). For the next week, I was the most popular guy on campus,
but also the most beat up with a huge black eye. I thought that it may
be my last match, I would have never imagined just how much wrestling
would play such a huge role in my life and take me to so many wonderful
places in the world.
PETER) : I think it's fair to say your 'Garbage-Sault' is of legend already!
How would you describe yourself as a wrestler for those who don't know
you?
EDDY) : The Triple X "Sex XXXpress" SeXXXy Eddy is first and
foremost an entertainer. Combining my enthusiastic entrance, my mic work,
my pre-match ritual strip with a girl from the audience; and my endless
love of women. I want people to remember me even before my match. In the
ring, I admit that I am not the best wrestler, but I can hit my opponents
with a little bit of everything. I can take it to the ground, soar off
the top rope, bring in some comedy to the match, or take my adversary
to the limits in a death match. I have some of everything, making me a
"total package wrestler"... also gifted with an enormous package!
PETER) : My personal opinion is that you have virtually all bases covered,
where as many wrestlers aren't as multi-dimensional. How do you feel the
business has changed since you first became part of it? Do you feel your
attitude has changed also?
EDDY) : Wrestling is ever changing. Six years ago, there were not as many
high risk moves, and I had never heard of lightube matches (I had heard
about ECW and some sick bloodbaths in Japan). Fans were already aware
that wrestling was a form of entertainment and not really a competitive
sport. I wanted to be unique and stand out from all the other wrestlers.
What made me different was that I had no shame in wrestling practically
naked, nor did I fear anything (which isnt a great quality, and
has sometimes lead me to take stupid chances with my life). About a year
and a half ago was when I also realized the ever growing popularity for
the "strong style" of wrestling. Many fans expect some matches
to be as hard-hitting as a boxing match.
My attitude has not changed. I appreciate the training that all these
athletic performers must endure before even setting foot in a ring. This
taught me to respect my opponent, to respect the ring, to respect the
sport, and to respect all those who have passed before me. My style has
slightly changed, Ive learnt a lot about pacing and ring psychology
in my wrestling matches. Every wrestler must learn to adapt with the demands
of the audience, or else they will be left behind and quickly disappear.
PETER) : I must agree with that wholeheartedly. Now imagine for a moment
- you're a promoter, with your own promotion. What kind of show would
you run?
EDDY) : A show with something for everyone: great wrestling, high-flying,
comedy, great personas, and of course some hot women. I will cater to
what my crowd demographic wants to see, whether it be pure wrestling or
death matches. I would definitely have the fans coming back for more with
every show. A hot crowd makes the wrestlers work harder and want to give
more, which in turn leads to bigger crowds, and so on.
PETER) : I feel the censors chasing me as I type,and I probably already
know the main answers to this; but what do you like to do in your spare
time?
EDDY) : Watch porn, have sex, masterbate... you get the picture. I have
the same amount of sex as every other average guy with a horse sized cock!
When I am not wrestling, I am as normal as the guy next door, and I do
all the normal guy things: I shovel the snow, I take out the garbage,
I wash the dishes, and I eat pussy... lots of it! I also enjoy all rock
music, puppies, and long walks on the beach with my pants down.
PETER) : Well, that probably is the best and certainly the most lively
answer I've ever had to that question in six years of doing this! Who
have been your favourite opponents?
EDDY) : Ive had some great matches against the Arsenal, eXeSs, Kevin
Steen, and Ruckus. All very different matches, but each one brought something
different to the table helping me become a better wrestler. I enjoy wrestling
against different types of opponents, this forces me to grow as a wrestler.
PETER) : Who are your friends in the business, and who do you like to
watch and learn from?
EDDY) : My friends are the boys backstage. I know that we share the common
goal of putting on one hell of a memorable show. I am closer to those
who travel with me on the three, six or ten hour road trips like Beef
Wellington, El Generico, Kevin Steen, and Franky the Mobster. We get a
lot of time to talk and we have a lot in common. We all have less than
normal weekends, wrestling instead of going out to a bar, like our other
friends outside of the wrestling circle. I encourage my friends and try
to watch as many matches live as possible. But I usually spend most of
my time hitting on the girls at the arenas and getting blow jobs from
them, so I just watch the DVDs when they are completed from www.smartmarkvideo.com.
I really like to watch "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush in action.
He is so fluid in the ring and can do just about anything. He is always
five moves ahead of his opponents and can counter any move with an imaginative
counter of his own. Its almost guaranteed that Mike will pull out
an innovative new move in every match he is in. He is probably the best
trainer around today, this shows in the work of his accomplished students
from CHIKARA.
PETER) : I've had the pleasure of knowing Mike for a long time online,
and he really and truly IS that good. What are your thoughts on WWE, TNA,
and the indy's?
EDDY) : WWE is and will always be the biggest stage to perform the craft
of wrestling, every aspiring wrestler dreams to one day get there. TNA
is presently number two in North America. TNA tries to capitalize on WWEs
former talent, and has brought some innovative aspects to wrestling with
the X-Division and the six-sided ring. But I dont see them ever
being strong enough to pose as a threat to the unstoppable machine that
is the WWE.
The indy style is the complete opposite of the WWE. Ten to fifteen minute
matches are standard instead of the WWE three to five minute time limits
(dealing with commercial brakes). Slower paced matches involving more
crowd participation instead of the television cameras.Wrestlers that are
maybe less enthusiastic and that arent necessarily jacked on steroids,
but can do so much more in the ring and are willing to take much greater
risks than their celebrity counterparts. As long as fans want to be up
close to the action, pay a fraction of the price, and see incredible athletes
(not just actors on what sometimes seems like a talk show), then there
will always be a place for indy wrestling. The lucky ones will get noticed,
the luckier ones will get a chance, and the luckiest ones will do this
for a living.
PETER) : Where do you see the direction of wrestling going over the next
couple of years or so?
EDDY) : Some things you just dont f**k with. Larger than life exaggerated
characters with easy to follow 'good versus evil' storylines you either
love to love, or love to hate. Its the perfect formula. But wrestling
is forever changing. The styles change with the times, what the fans want
to see changes, new storylines that may cross certain boundaries change
(which may have been taboo ten years ago).
Unfortunately, some wrestlers may go too far and pay dearly with their
lives. If one wrestler is not willing to take the risk, there is always
a rookie waiting in the wings for your spot, willing to do whatever it
takes to 'get over' with the crowd. Something that will never change is
that the fans want to forget about their jobs, their bills, the jerk that
flipped them the bird at the lights. They want to yell at someone, they
want the underdog to win, they want someone to pay; they want to forget
the monotony of daily life. Wrestling is one of the greatest mediums to
forget your problems and let it all out in a fantasy world, before Monday
morning rolls around and the process starts all over again. As wrestlers,
our job is to entertain.
PETER) : Wonderfully put and described, in my view. What are your plans
for the future?
EDDY) : You never know what the future holds for you. You could be the
hottest thing on the market, and then the next minute youre yesterdays
news. You never know when your popularity will end. Some may even try
to capitalize on your popularity and imitate you, but there is nothing
as good as the original. Ask any girl, would you rather have something
that looks big (some guys stuff their tights to seem bigger, its
true!) or something that feels big and is 100% all natural 5 pounds of
grade A cockmeat.
Injury could cut short big plans. You never know when a stupid mistake
or even a slippery arena floor can cost you a concussion or a broken ankle.
Timing is everything in wrestling. As soon as you are out, there is someone
waiting in the wings to replace you and take your spot. I dont want
to be forced to leave due to injury, I want to leave with my health and
on my own terms when I am ready to leave.
What I would like to accomplish in wrestling is to go as far as possible,
as far as my talents and skills will take me. I have yet to wrestle in
ROH, I would like to have a chance on TNA, and my dream (like everyone
who starts in this business) is to one day reach the WWE. Realistically
though, I would like to wrestle in as many states and provinces possible,
and to shake my nuts in as many countries around the globe. There are
so many beautiful women who deserve to have The Triple X "Sex XXXpress"
SeXXXy Eddy between their legs. If I can satisfy them all, then I know
I am doing what I was put on this earth to do.
PETER) : Thanks for this interview, it's been a lot of fun. I wish you
all the best for the future, and just ask you one thing - if you could
hit our audience with that catchphrase of yours that I love on the way
out....
EDDY) : Rock out with your cock out!!!!
