Greetings fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the debut of "Spotlight 7" The only column designed to showcase Indy wrestlers as A- list Hollywood Actors!

My guest at this time is the superstar formerly known as Slyck Wagner Brown. Now, he's simply known as "The Underground King" Slyck!


1) First and Foremost, welcome to "Spotlight Seven"! My first question to you is why have you decided to shorten your name from Slyck Wagner Brown to "SLYCK"?

Thanks, at first I thought my name was a bit long. So I decided to drop Wagner Brown, but after some thought...I decided to bring it back.


2) You have a strikingly interesting theory applicable to both your in-ring and personal life would you care to explicate?: "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear"

People say a lot of things, so don't judge anyone on what you hear. If you must, judge them on the time you spent together and nothing else.


3) I know that you have wrestled outside the U.S. in places such as Japan, England, Ireland, and Puerto Rico. How would you describe the fans' perception towards wrestling overseas?


They're passionate about wrestling like our fans are, but you will never hear them chant 'You f***ed up!' like some fans do here in the States.


4) I've always said that wrestling is the one sport (art) where the philosophy: "It doesn't matter if you win or lose but how you play the game" (see Anthony's Asylum Vol.) is valid. Do you agree with me? Express your point-of-view.

Absof'nlutely Anthony. In our world you can lose, but win, because the fans can appreciate and respect your performance more than the guy who wins the match.


5) Your finisher, the "Appreciation Bomb" is perhaps one of the most devastating finishers in the business. How did the move come about?

Ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated with Powerbombs, so one day at the Kowalski dojo I remembered watching a Japanese wrestling tape where a guy used the same crucifix maneuver and dropped the guy on his back. So I thought that same move would be way more effective and devastating if you dropped the guy on his face. I did it and the wrestlers and people watching class popped big time, so I knew the move would go over well with the fans.


6) I am very observant towards wrestling merchandise . Particularly, T-shirts as they possess a unique form of promoting any theme or idea in a stylish manner. Your Slyck Unit T-shirts are by far one of the top 3 best looking T-shirts currently in the Independent wrestling scene. How important do you feel it is for the fans to be subjected to eye-catching merchandise?

Yeah, no doubt. So if you're interested in getting some good merchandise T-shirts too, check out Nocturnal Graphics. The fans work hard for their money, so when they spend it on our merchandise that says we're doing something right.

7) Which inspirational wrestler alive or dead would you have liked to tag with? ( personally I feel that you and Too-Cold Scorpio would have made a great tag team)

Mr. Perfect, I loved his character and respect the fact that he could deliver in the ring and on the mic. I'm also a big fan of Shawn Michaels and Jushin Thunder Liger and would love to team with them someday.
