Any "new guys" you like here in EAW?

What's the best part about writing Voltage?

What do you think is the best match you have written?

Will SK finally win a World title?

Are there any storylines you would like in the future for Voltage?

1. I like everyone who treats me with respect. It would be harder to name the people that I dislike. I think most people get the impression that I'm not very polite because when I see something I don't like happening, I'm pretty outspoken against it. But if you're my friend and you don't go out of your way to act like a dick toward me, the conversations are usually amicable. On other side of the coin, if you make it your business to pester and annoy me, I don't have any problem humbling someone. If you just mean in terms of characters and promos, a lot of the new guys, including yourself, are actually pretty good. You, Kelly, Ryan Marx, Rex, Nico Borg... Just some of the guys that have appeared in the past year, really. And then you've got Rex, Fournier, John/Moongoose, and a wealth of other talent doing their thing. For clarification's sake, probably because I'm ancient, "new" to me is usually those who have arrived within the past calendar year. 

2. Being able to write the organic ascent of tomorrow's great characters and main event guys. Aside from that, writing a brand is extremely unrewarding, thankless, and time-consuming. At the same time, I love my guys.

3. Aren vs. Carlos vs. Vic Vendetta for the EAW Championship at PFP 9. Best combination of psychology + overall match that I've done, I think. If not that, then the first half of last year's 40-man Grand Rampage. Writing like 7000 words of guys coming in and out, bulldozing through each other, all the while posting like 16 promos as a competitor in the GR match myself, and not having any idea who would win, all of that combined for an immensely draining week. That was probably the most fun I've had as a competitor + writer here. By far the most work I've done considering I not only had to write the first 20 entrants of the GR, but also the EAWC (Mexican Samurai vs. Vic Vendetta), and then winning the GR? GOAT shit.

4. Yes. I do believe SK will win a World Championship at some point over the course of this year. I have no knowledge of what the other writers intend to do, but I believe in him. I won't be angry or disappointed if it doesn't happen because you don't just hand out titles for the sake of it, but SK is someone that I've been impressed by since he returned. He's a good guy.

5. I only focus on what is immediately ahead of me. I'm always floating ideas around in my head, but I don't decide something is concrete until the time comes where it can actually happen. Planning storylines far in advance is generally a bad idea except in rare cases, imo.

What do you think is left for the Y2Impact character to accomplish? What keeps you going?

I came back very motivated in 2015. Getting the immediate opportunity to be in a high-profile Tag Team Championship match at PFP 8 and promoing against the likes of Mr. DEDEDE, Ryan Savage, Venom, and Nick kind of reinvigorated my spirit for e-feds. Initially when I returned in 2015, I only wanted to come back through PFP and leave again. I decided to stay because I had been presented with the Hexa-gun idea by its brainchild Robbie V & wanted to vie for a seventh World Championship reign. Never having won the EAW Championship before but having won the WHC and AWC three times each, this was probably one of the more ideal scenarios for me, even if it took a bit longer than was originally intended. I would have "settled" for the AWC, too, but I'm happy with how things played out. At this point, having written for a brand and won all three of the major World Titles & achieved seven reigns, I don't think there's much of anything that I have left to do. Winning the GR and, later on, the EAW Championship finally made me feel completely fulfilled here. I still feel extremely satisfied when I finish a promo, and I think that's what has kept me around all these years. At the same time, I'll be looking back at my shit months later and nitpicking what I can improve, so I guess that's just how I am, you know? I don't know how much is left for me, but I intend to give 100%. I don't plan on creating another character at this point.

When are you gonna fire that Oasis guy from Voltage and put Rami, Nas and I on the writing team? 

Would YOU fuck a dude if it would mean you could fuck any woman of your choice afterwards?

1) In all seriousness, I think Oasis deserves a lot of credit for the consistency with which he has written Voltage since 2015. He has gone through multiple co-writers, written the brand by himself, and sure, he may not always make the right decision, he may make some head-scratching decisions, but Oasis holds shit down as good as anyone. I am certainly not immune to head-scratching decisions myself, but I think Oasis shoulders a ton of responsibility and deserves some respect. He's earned my respect big time. I think you guys will find as things unfold that he is much better than some think. That said, I'm firing his ass and hiring y'all! Lmao j/k. I know you were joking about this Q anyway but I just figured I'd put some real shit on record.

2) Hell yeah. I'd feel disgusting about having sex with another guy since I'm heterosexual, but what better consolation is there than fucking ANYONE you want afterward? ANYONE. People would kill for all those options.

Is there, outside of the people you've tagged with before, anyone that you would feel would be an excellent partner for Impact?

Y2impact since you beat Eclipse Deimos at King of Elite FPV for your Eaw Champion then maybe I should challenge you for that Eaw title on Voltage or at Showdown's Reasonable Doubt FPV unless you're afraid to defend it against me at Reasonable Doubt FPV after I beat your sorry friend of yours Xavier Williams on Voltage next Sunday

Getting things back on track, first why no run in on the title match last Sunday?

Second, whos your early pick to win grand rampage?

1) Well, I assume the idea of the match is to make Eclipse look as strong as possible, i.e. needing no help even if it were extended to him. Also, in an earlier segment in KOE, Eclipse's character kind of implied that he wouldn't need assistance - and he didn't. Eclipse was more than holding his own, at times overwhelming The Machine, and was in position at various points to take the W. With Eclipse seemingly in control for the entirety of the match, it's plausible that The Sanatorium didn't really think he'd need any assistance by the time shit got fucked up - but it could also be that he gave them directives not to. Who knows? Watch the story unfold!

2) Jamie O'Hara or Drastik, assuming neither of them are in line for a championship shot at the time

Do you need me to write this week?

Out of all the "new" guys, who would like to have a feud with?

Advice for anyone trying to become one of the GOATS in EAW?

Are there any memorable Jericho moments that you have ever tried to have Impact recreate? If not are there any that you would if given the chance?

I remember that Frieza is your favorite DBZ character I believe. But out of all the heroes, who is your favorite?

And, favorite Yu Yu Hakusho character?

1) Not any particular moments that I've tried to emulate, but while the content is different, the tone of voice in my head when I promo kind of resembles Jericho.

2) Freeza is my favorite villain, but not my favorite character. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo are my favorite characters. King Piccolo might be the best overall villain in the franchise, but Freeza is definitely the best in Z, imo. That's why he got rebooted for the movie & sequel while other villains in DBZ did not. He's the quintessential villain. The backstory created with his character is far more layered and complex in my eyes than that of the other villains.

3) Kurama, Sensui, Yusuke, and Hiei, in that order. I was a huge fan of how Kurama would calculate everything in his fights. I was just really drawn to his intelligent, patient, sensible personality. I always found that amazing, but I think the character I'm actually most like IRL is Yusuke. Not that I'm some badass fighter, but personality-wise. Sensui is one of my all-time favorite villains in any show, no doubt. Hiei embodies all of the badass qualities everyone aspires to possess.

Y2impact I think it's time for you to lose that Eaw Championship at Showdown's Reasonable Doubt FPV Cause u done had that title way to long since 2016 and 2017 and I'm up for a challenge your sorry ass for that Eaw title for a grabs in face you at Reasonable Doubt FPV for that Eaw Champion


and I'll even let you decide what match type to put at Showdown's Reasonable Doubt FPV.

Patience, persistence, and relentless commitment. If you want to be great but happen to be the kind of person that is deterred by one or two losses, most likely you will never reach those heights. If you are capable of accepting losses and continuing to be active regardless of whatever adversity befalls your character, and you have the talent, the potential for greatness is far higher.

If you could form a stable of active workers across all brands (limit of 5) who are you taking

Any NFL free agents you'd be interested in? Specifically, thoughts on Ndamukong Suh?

And why is nothing that will be done this offseason stupider than the Chiefs giving Sammy Watkins $16 million?
