             JASON CROSS INTERVIEW

WAWUK.NET conducted an exclusive interview with WAW's commissioner about his early career and his upcoming match with Zak Zodiac against London INC

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q1 Hi Jason thank you for taking this time out for this interview, how did you start in the wrestling business and who trained you?
 
A. I started training in 1988,it all came about throught attending a wrestling show in cardiff and enquiring. I was put in touch with a guy called Roy Harley (who also trained Danny Boy Collins,Ritchie Brooks,Pete Collins,Peter Bainbridge etc) and i started training about a fortnight later. I had to travel to Cheltenham every sunday for training and in those days if you missed a training session,then you weren't welcome back,it was  door closed. I then made my professional debut on February 11th 1989.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2 Where you a fan of it and if so who was your favorite wrestler?
 
A. I was a wrestling fan from a young age and used to regularly to attend shows in and around cardiff ,as well as regular shows at the colston hall in Bristol. My favourite wrestler was always Danny Boy Collins (don't ever tell him that LOL),he was only 7 or 8 years older than me and he really paved the way for the next crop of youngsters to come into the wrestling business. I was also a fan of Chic Cullen,Fit Finlay,Marty Jones,Basically the guys who could really wrestle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3 How did you come to end up in WAW?
 
A. I retired in 2000 and was out of the business until i attended a show somewhere in the welsh valleys,to check the improvement on a trainee i'd had a hand in training a few years before. Needless to say,he hadn't improved in the slightest,he was still shit! Ricky Knight was on the show and he spotted me as he was on his way back from the ring after his match,he asked me why i wouldnt come back to the wrestling business and tried encouraging me to come back. I really didnt want to but rick is a convincing man LOL,I ended up challenging rick the very next night,and the rest is history. I did a mixed tag team match with Destiny against Rick and Sweet Saraya and again the following night. The matches went so well that i sort of got the bug back a bit,Rick and Saraya asked me to be a guest trainer for the february 2005 training school and i've been here ever since.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q4 You have faced some of WAW's best wrestlers, who would you say was your toughest opponent?
 
A. In WAW my toughest opponent simply has to be the World Heavyweight Champion,the Zebra Kid. The intensity he brings to the ring is really something to behold and a lot of the younger wrestlers should at least try to watch the way Zebra wrestles,they can learn so much. Lets not forget that the guy can really wrestle technical style as well,he can fly,and is the best brawler around. The aura he creates is simply amazing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q5 You are also one of the head trainers with Sweet Saraya of the WAW academy, who would you say have a good chance of being the future of the wrestling business right now?
 
A. I think the best prospects are Britani Knight,a phenomenal talent and probably the second best female wrestler in europe,second only to her mum. The girl has so much talent its scary,i get a real buzz when i show her something in training and then i watch her do it to perfection in  a match.A huge future ahead of her!!!   Scott Fusion is a real good prospect as well,he has come a long way in his short time in the wrestling business. A good,solid technical wrestler who can also fly a bit,but more important is that he really strikes a chord with the fans.I get the impression he could take a shit on the pope in wembley stadium in front of a sell out crowd,and still get cheered LOL. Joe Fx is another great talent,he was originally trained at the pitbull gym but really polished his skills at WAW,another one with a huge future ahead of him. Marco Marinelli is probably one of the most entertaining wrestlers anywhere,period. Its great to see the improvement he has made and has become a mainstay on the main WAW roster in a short space of time. He is great to watch and keeps me entertained,which is not easy to do. Lets not forget his manager,Sam Knee.Even though in WAW we don't see eye to eye,you can't take away from the fact he's the best manager around by a country mile. The Future certainly looks bright for the trainees :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q6 After a few years of in ring competition you had the chance to become WAW commissioner, how is this job different from what you have done before in WAW?
 
A. Its different because it doesn't involve in-ring competition.When i was first offered the position i was a bit sceptical,but i've had some of the best fun i've had in this business,as commissioner. I've had some great talent to work with and have enjoyed every minute of it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q7 Since becoming WAW commissioner you have been the main target of Sam Knee in his quest to take over WAW, do you have any plans for Mr Knee in the coming few months?
 
A. Now that would be telling!!!!  Sam Knee is an idiot,his attempt to control WAW has about as much chance of succeeding as Gary Glitter has of becoming government minister for children.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q8 On a show earlier this year Zak Zodiac was attacked by London INC, after that match he offered you the chance to tag up with him against them, you have had offers of matches before including being called out by Karl Krammer at the talk in Norwich so what made this offer different from all the others for you to accept it?
 
A. What you're failing to remember,is that i DID accept Karl Kramer's challenge!!! He simply got sidetracked the very same night with Earl Ling,which seems to be his main concern at the moment. Mark my words,as soon as thy're done a Karl Kramer v Jason Cross match is an absolute must!
The reason i accepted Zak's call for a tag team partner is simple. He is an amazing young talent and one of the very best around,yet he was at a real dissadvantage by trying to battle London INC on his own. Jet Logan decided to get in my face,which was a real stupid thing to do,so i was only too happy to take up Zak's offer. I'm really looking forward to the match!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q9 Does this mean a return to full time in ring competition and how would this effect your job as WAW Commissioner?
 
A. Who knows? I would never come back full time but a regular wrestling schedule is certainly on the cards. I really enjoy it in WAW i have a list of people i have to wrestle before i can call it quits permanently,some old opponents and some new. Without revealing the whole list,i can tell you that it includes a great young talent called Aaron Frost. This kid is amazing,he reminds me so much of the late,great,Izak Rain. I always promised Izak a match,but his untimely passing meant that it didn't happen. I would feel a whole lot better by giving a match to Aaron,who is virtually the wrestling double of Izak. It would be a real privelige to wrestle him. Another name on the list is none other than Sweet Saraya,this might seem a bit odd but she is by far the best female wrestler around. We rib each other about it all the time,but i would really love to do a technical wrestling match,over rounds,against the standard bearer for ladies wrestling. I think we would both be up for it and it could be real fun. It would have to be an exhibition contest,but this would still take nothing away from it. Another real privelige to do.
 
I'm not sure how this would affect my role as commissioner,thats a bridge i would have to cross when i come to it. After 20yrs of wrestling,i think i'm coming to the end of the road now, i always said i would finally call it a day when i was still wrestling to a good standard. The commissioner job gives me something else to do LOL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q10 Do you have a message for the fans of WAW?
 
A. The WAW fans are the best around,i've never come across a more knowlegable and passionate set of fans anywhere in the world. They make it a pleasure to perform on WAW shows. I ask any wrestler anywhere,to watch a dvd of a show at the talk,or a bank holiday show in yarmouth,and tell me that the WAW fans aren't the best. They simply can't!!

Thank you for your time

Q1: Hi Steve thank you for taking this time out for this interview, you have been in the wrestling business for many years now, could you tell the fans reading this how you started and who trained you?

I was trained some 34 yrs ago by very good wrestler IMO called Bert alliday he was working for game-well wrestling promotions at the time and that's who i started to work for and went on to work for Anglia pro-coastal pro-dale martin-all star-and many smaller companies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2: Where you always a wrestling fan when you where growing up?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3: What has been the highlight of your wrestling carear so far?

I would say being on the road and working with the world of sport boys. good days.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q4: You are know as "The Tattooed Warrior", what was the first tattoo you had done and do you have a favourite?

My first tattoo was a cross to remember my sister that passed at 3 days old. and favorite would have to be a portrait of my son Jordan when he was a baby.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q5: You have overseen the developement of your son Kid Quintains as he takes his first steps in the wrestling business with WAW, do you see a bright future for him in the years to come?

I'm sure he will be OK in the wrestling biz i tell him you only get out what you put in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q6: On the 18th of April you will be running one of your charity shows at Lowestoft to honor your son who died last year and to raise money for Addenbrookes hospital, could you tell us more about Jordan Smith please for the people who never met him?

Jordan was a very happy kid with lots to look forward to in life he was always making people smile and lived life to the full he was always polite to people and the first to help anyone weather he new them or not .
he was out with his friends one night and complained of a headache where to cut a long story short he was having a stroke he was rushed to addenbrookes hospital for a life saving opp but it was to far gone. sadly he died the next day aged just 17 a great loss to our family. so we have put this show together in his memory and the profit of the show will go to the nccu at addenbrookes hospital where Jordan was treated.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q7: How much are you hoping to raise from the charity show for Addenbrookes hospital?

We will try and raise as much money as possible for this very important piece of equipment (portable head scanner) which will cut vital time when a patient needs it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q8: The main event of the show is yourself vs British wrestling legend Danny Boy Collins, are you looking forward to fighting Collins and do you believe as the fans do it may be a match of the year contender?

Well i hope so. i am very much looking forward to this as Danny was one of jordan's favorite wrestlers because Jordan had a kidney removed when he was a baby and Danny also has had one removed so there's the reason for Danny being his favorite wrestler. all i can do isgo out there and put a good show on for Jordan and just hope he is watching were ever he is.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q9: You are in a series of matches with Brett "The Kraft" Meadows at the minute but do you see yourself maybe challenging for the Light Heavyweight title again, what is the future for Steve Quintain right now in WAW?

If the chance is there well who knows . i will keep going as long as my health and fans let me in waw

These are the best fans ever they have always been behind me in every match i have and i thank them for that so i hope that they come to lowestoft and support me in this one i will need their support as it will be hard on the night not only wrestling Danny but what the show is for .
