Christopher Daniels Interview: Talks Curry Man, Creative, Best Match And More

Christopher Daniels recently spoke to The Moaning Times on a number of subjects including his best match, TNA's new creative regime, Curry man and more. Below is a quick recap:


On getting into pro wrestling:

"Well I actually got into training in 1993 I was an actor before that doing children’s theatre and stuff like that and in between gig I decided to give professional wrestling a try just to say, I wanted to go through the school I found out about a school and just wanted to give it a try, and If I washed out and I failed I could say to my kids hey I give it a try. Because I grew up watching it I trained for three months and learned it all pretty quick how to do stuff and started wrestling three months later and I just kept with it and stuck with it and eventually I was popular enough where I would work all the time. All of a sudden I was working every weekend and doing tours in Japan and it sort of became my career not accidentally but it snuck up on me. I decided after I was doing it full time that I was doing it full time. As far as what I would do if I wasn’t doing this. Probably still trying to do acting and some sort of theatre."

His Best match and why:

"I think the best moment and best match for me was the three way with AJ Styles and Samoa Joe just because I think the audience the crowd and the fan base were ready to have three home grown talents in their main event and it was the first time the x division title, that the three of us valued very highly had been in a main event ahead of the world title. It meant a lot to all three of us and the crowd responded. Three home grown wrestlers, it was just the case of having the right audience and the right match and that made history."

On the Curry Man character:

"When it was first given to me I wasn’t sure what to make of it I didn’t know the character that it was based on. For the first couple of months I wasn’t quite sure how they wanted me to do it, realising they just wanted me to do what I wanted to do, that’s where the wearing funny hats came from and have fun with rather than having some pre conceived notion of what to do with it. Once I went to TNA with it, it was another company where I just let myself go and have fun with it and to not take things too seriously and not think too seriously about my matches at that time."

On the new TNA creative regime:

"I have a very positive outlook to the crew we have around now in terms of the creative team. They are very open to suggestions and are open to letting us as the characters do what we feel is right and are very open to suggestions .Eric Bishoff ,Jason Kuribi Matt Conway and Dave Labatta all that crew are supportive in letting us build the character in what we think they should be doing and you know we always bounce ideas off each other and the sort of the best idea rules. It’s probably some of the best, creatively some of the best supportive stuff I have been a part of in a long time in TNA and it’s a great group we are dealing with."

What he does in his spare time:

"In most of my spare time I mean I have two young kids so I am normally mom when I am at home, my wife works and I take care of my family and the house. I am also a comic book reader I still collect comics, 30 years I have been doing that. That’s really how I spend my time looking after my house and taking care of my body and reading comic books. I do normal stuff I’m a movie guy .Me and my wife are big movie buffs and we try to catch movies as often as we can. I read occasional stuff that isn’t comic books Stephen King etc I will read that and that is basically it. The things that annoy me are closed minded stupid people but they are everywhere."

Whether he prefers being a singles or tag champion:

"I honestly don’t prefer either one. I have had great success with both and I enjoy both. When you are wrestling out by yourself all success and failure comes from yourself .I love fighting with someone I have great chemistry with like Frankie Kasarian and going out and sharing that experience and getting fans into what we are we are doing. I just gravitate to one or the other and stick with that for a period of time."

The Miz on Who He'd Like to Work a Program With
Posted by Steve Carrier on 02/28/2013 at 06:59 PM

The Film Yap recently spoke to The Miz, who was promoting his new movie, The Marine 3. Here are some highlights from the interview.

Who he would you like to work a program with that he hasn't yet: "I'd like to work The Rock. He was basically the person I looked at and said 'I want to be a WWE Superstar.' Just to watch him during the Attitude Era and to watch his matches. Not only to go up against him, but to exceed him. That's what every WWE Superstar wants to do, whether it's CM Punk, John Cena, you want to take it to the next level. I've already had that huge program with John Cena that took me to the next level, which taught me so much about the WWE, and there's always CM Punk who is doing such a great job. He was WWE Champion for 400-plus days and is still on a roll. Those are great superstars who you want to get. You always want to be at the top."

If he wants to continue acting: "Not only do I want to continue it, I am continuing it with "The Christmas Bounty." I start filming that in April and it comes out at Christmas."

The new WWE Championship belt: "I really like it. When I was WWE champion, I changed the belt too, changing the WWE logo to an "M" and stopping it from spinning. I agree with the Rock. A championship should not spin and should not be looked at as a toy. It should be looked upon with prestige and I think this new title reflects that. When people win World Series or NBA Finals or Super Bowls, I think they'll be wearing this around their waists because it embodies what a title should look like."

Impact Wrestling starts out with an Aces & 8s video. As the group is growing, Hulk Hogan confirms a Lethal Lockdown match. It is the group vs. Team Sting. Hulk also announces Bully Ray as #1 Contender for the TNA World Championship. Ray suggests a 6 man tag team match with Hogan involved. Hogan agrees to do it. He didn’t show up though. Why? Aces & 8s attacked him in the back and they kidnapped Brooke Hogan too. They let both go but they sure left a mark.
 
Video plays from earlier today that features Brooke Hogan and Bully Ray. The camera guy asks them how Hulk is doing. Brooke says he is hurt and is at home. He is resting. Ray says he is messed up bad and grabs Brooke and says there isn’t time to talk. They go through the door to enter the arena.
 
Fireworks explode in the arena. The camera shows the Impact Zone with fans on their feet. Music hits and here is Bully Ray. Ray starts yelling at Taz from the stage. Ray walks down the ramp and gets in the ring. Ray grabs a mic. He says it is pretty cool to be back in the Impact Zone. He never been this furious in his life. Aces & 8s ran around for the past couple of weeks. They took out so many people and they ruined his wedding. Last week should have been a huge week for TNA. We were all going to see the return of Hulk Hogan to the ring. It didn’t happen though because of Aces & 8s. He mentions Devon and says he is going to get his hands on him. He will never want to step foot in a wrestling ring again. There is one guy Ray wants to speak to also. This guy is someone who Aces & 8s took out and this guy is who Ray will be facing at Lockdown. Let’s have the TNA World Champion… Jeff Hardy! Jeff’s music plays and here comes Jeff. He has his custom title on his shoulder and the actual TNA World Title on the other shoulder. He interacts with the fans around the ring with his red and orange face paint. He gets in the ring and the crowd chants, “Hardy, Hardy, Hardy!” Ray tells Jeff that he never thought both would stand across from each other and will fight for the World Title in the future. Everyone knows their history. Ray says he isn’t getting a title shot because he is Hulk’s son-in-law. There are other guys who could fight Jeff. Ray doesn’t want it to happen this way. He isn’t positive he is the right guy to face Jeff.
 
Jeff grabs a mic and says it is great to be back on Impact and in the zone! Jeff loves the fact that Hulk chose Ray. He would have chose Ray. They swung a lot of chairs, climbed a lot of ladders and broke tons of tables. They take it to the cage now for the TNA World Title. They will reinvent their history. Let the best man win. Jeff extends his hand but music hits and here comes the buddy-buddy duo of Daniels and Kazarian. Both walk down the ramp and get in the ring. Kazarian says Ray shouldn’t have this title shot. He shouldn’t want it. Hulk gave him this title shot and he gave him her daughter. Hey, someone has to rub lotion on Brooke’s back and take pictures of her… so let it be Bully. Daniels gets on the mic and says he should be involved in this match. Daniels out wrestled Jeff last month and he lost because Daniels had an allergic reaction to Jeff’s face paint. Daniels and Kazarian should be involved in the match. Daniels tells them to get out of the ring so people can worship them. Ray takes the mic from Daniels and then takes the martini from Daniels. He drinks it all and then spits it back out in the cup. Ray tells “baldy” that real men don’t drink apple martinis. Ray throws the drink in Daniels’ face and then punches him. Jeff goes after Kazarian. Both make their way out of the ring before they get attacked even more. Ray grabs the mic and makes the match: Ray and Hardy vs. Daniels and Kazarian. Daniels and Kazarian don’t like this but Ray and Jeff don’t mind at all.

Kevin Kelly welcomes us to the show and hypes up the six-man main event. We see a recap of ROH World Champion Kevin Steen stopping S.C.U.M. from attacking Jay Lethal.
 
Steen comes to the ring with something to say. He says ROH has gone through a lot of changes over the last few years. He says he wasn’t proud to be ROH champion when he won the belt, but he thought it would help him kill the company. He wanted to put the company out of its misery due to what Jim Cornette did to it. Steen says ROH has returned to what it should be since Cornette is gone. He says since Cornette is gone that he cares about ROH and is proud to be champion. Steen explains the reason he’s giving Lethal the title shot is because he is the one to get rid of Cornette. Steen says he will do everything he can to keep the title and that Lethal can’t beat him.
 
Tadarius Thomas and Matt Taven talk about what being in Ring of Honor means to them and what they’re going to do to win the Top Prospects Tournament.
 
Top Prospects Tournament Finals
 Matt Taven vs. Tadarius Thomas
 
Thomas uses his fancy kicks to get a quick two count on Taven. He rolls through a crossbody for another early near fall. Truth Martini makes his way to ringside as Thomas hits a dropkick on Taven. Taven connects with a spinning kick to the stomach to give him control of the match. Taven hits a springboard somersault senton right on Thomas’ face! That had to hurt. Thomas whips Taven into the ropes and Martini grabs his foot, which gives Thomas the opportunity to regain control of the match. Thomas hits the Dragon Suplex, but Taven kicks out at the last second. Thomas ducks a spinning kick attempts from Taven, which connects on Todd Sinclair. Martini throws Thomas his boot to use, but Thomas refused. Taven tries using it, but Thomas ducks it. Taven sends Thomas into the ropes where Martini clocks him with the “Book of Truth.” Taven pins him and gets the three count to win the Top Prospects Tournament. Taven and Martini shake hands after the match.
 
Winner by Pinfall: Matt Taven
 
ROHWorld.com’s Thoughts: This was a decent match, but it was nothing special. The focus of the match was on Martini and what he would do to influence the match. The right wrestler won as Thomas still leaves something to be desired. I’m really looking forward to seeing Taven vs Cole at the “11th Anniversary Show.”
 
It’s now time for Inside ROH. Charlie Haas says BJ Whitmer won’t make it to the “11th Anniversary Show.” Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander say they’re ready for a fight. The American Wolves say they’re brothers and are the best tag team in the country. Team Am-Fishin’ (or is it redDRagon?) say the Briscoes reign will be short-lived. Truth Martini just laughs creepily into the camera. Michael Elgin says Roderick Strong has signed his own death certificate. Jay Lethal says all the distractions are gone and he’s coming for everything Steen has.
 
Jay Lethal comes to the ring with a microphone. He says it’s great Steen wants to be an honorable champion, but he think Steen is full of it. He says Steen is a master of mind games. Lethal says he won’t fall victim to those mind games. He says he can win because Steen thinks he can’t.
 
Veda Scott is backstage with Roderick Strong and Team Am-Fishin’. Strong says tonight will further prove Strong is unbeatable (he’s no Jay Lethal). Team Am-Fishin’ say they’ll beat the American Wolves once again.
 
Roderick Strong , Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly vs. Michael Elgin, Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards
 
The Briscoes join Kelly and Caleb Seltzer at commentary. This should be every entertaining. The match, as expected, starts off as a massive brawl around ringside. Referees try to restore order as the show goes to commercial.
 
Back from commercial and Elgin and the Wolves are in full control. Elgin hits a series of splashes in the corner to each member of the opposing team. Elgin holds Fish up in a delayed vertical suplex for close to a minute before dropping him to the mat. O’Reilly distracts Richards, giving Fish the opportunity to give his team control of the match. Strong connects with a nice dropkick for a near fall. Strong tries hitting a delayed vertical suplex of his own, but Richards reversed it into a pin attempt. Strong answered right back with another dropkick. Richards is still in trouble as the show goes to another break.
 
Back from commercial  and Richards is fighting back. He throws O’Reilly into Fish and makes the tag to Edwards. Edwards connects with a double missile dropkick off the top rope into both members of Team Am-Fishin’.  Strong and Richards have a chopping battle, but the Wolves hit Strong with the alarm clock. The Wolves send Team Am-Fishin’ to the outside and hit stereo suicide dives. Elgin and Strong are the legal men and Elgin is beating him down. O’Reilly has a sleeper hold locked in on Elgin, and Elgin hits a deadlift German Suplex on Fish with O’Reilly on his back. Strong hits the gutbuster and Team Am-Fishin’ follow it up with the Total Elimination on Elgin, but the Wolves break up the pinfall! Strong hits the double knee suplex on Elgin to pick up the pinfall.

411's WWE NXT Report 02.27.13
Posted by Marc Elusive on 02.28.2013

Justin Gabriel took on Leo Kruger and we get a triple threat match to determine the number one contender to the NXT title between Bo Dallas, Corey Graves and Conor O'Brian but a completely different trio came out on top...

From Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida
 
Commentators: Tony Dawson & William Regal
 
Championship's roll call: WWE Champion: The Rock… World Champion: Alberto Del Rio… Intercontinental Champion: Wade Barrett… United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro… Tag Team Champions: Team Hell No… NXT Champion: Big E Langston… NXT Tag Team Champions: Adrian Neville & Oliver Grey… Diva's Champion: Kaitlyn
 
In the back, Bo Dallas talks to GM Dusty Rhodes when Corey Graves appears and gives the NXT title (that he stole last week) to him; Graves feels that title should be his. Dusty explains that Bo is back in NXT because of all his accomplishments in his short stay in the WWE. He books Graves, Dallas and Conor O'Brian in a triple threat number one contender's match.
 
Justin Gabriel (w/Tyson Kidd) vs. Leo Kruger:   This is a direct result from the attack from last week on Gabriel's injured tag partner, Kidd. We have the only two South Africans in the WWE in the ring at the same time. They lock up and roll around on the ropes drawing a referee break; Kruger tries a cheapshot in the corner but misses allowing Gabriel a chop. Lockup #2: this time Kruger is in the ropes. Gabriel with the clean break, Leo tries once again to get at him, but fails; a headlock takeover puts Kruger down. Kidd shouts encouragement as Kruger tries to escape but cannot. Kruger finally escapes, tossing Gabriel off the ropes, but fells to a shoulderblock and back to the side headlock for Gabriel. Kruger tries to roll free but Gabriel maintains his hold; Leo finally gets control with a knee and clamps on his own headlock. Gabriel quickly counters into a head scissors and then the headlock again. Kruger takes over with an elbow square in the face and hits his own chinlock. Gabriel reverses into an armbar; Kruger backs him into the corner and clubbers him down. A cross-corner whip is countered by a tip-over head scissors; he knocks Kruger to the floor as we head to break. We return with Gabriel working the arm; Kruger pops right back with a shoulderblock; he runs the ropes and Gabriel tries a leapfrog but Kruger catches him in midair with a spinebuster slam. He tosses Gabriel into the post shoulder first and then zeros in on the arm with a top wristlock. Gabriel breaks the hold with a single-arm stunner. He makes a comeback with come kicks and a low roundhouse. Kruger takes control back with a single-arm DDT; he works the arm some more with a step-over armbreaker and then a Fujiwara armbar. He hits a nasty looking short-arm clothesline. He hammerlocks the arm and drops knees onto it. Gabriel rises and reverses with an armdrag; he flips off a backdrop into a comeback and hits a few roundhouse kicks. He nails a spinning forearm and splash in the corner; a springboard crossbody gets two. Gabriel heads up top but Kruger plays defense knocking him off; Leo hits a running lariat, turning him inside out, and gets only two. Tony Dawson sells it like he just kicked out of the Pedigree. Kruger deposits him on the top rope but Gabriel counters with a sunset bomb. The 450 Splash ends the match. Post-match, Kruger nails Gabriel with one of the crutches and smiles at Kidd about it as he takes his leave.   6/10 Pretty decent match, which started slow, and built to a crescendo in the end; good match. I enjoyed it and like the fact that this feud will continue, although I do not foresee Gabriel and Kruger fighting for another three or four months until Kidd returns. I guess they've also dropped with alliance with Kassius Ohno.
 
Here is your winner… Justin Gabriel via 450 Splash pinfall
 
I'm coming home WrestleMania XXIX commercial is shown… I'll be there, since it's in my home. Psyched.
 
Emma vs. Aksana:   Emma dances all of the way to the ring but doesn't quite have the coordination to smoothly flip into the ring. Interesting gimmick: thinks she can dance but in reality, can't. It's the Elaine Benes gimmick. Aksana kicks Emma as she is doing some finger wiggles. The seductive crawl sets up a faceplant. Emma retreats to the apron and falls off. Okay, perhaps the gimmick is she's a klutz. She recovers as Aksana goes after her but Emma falls again, inadvertently clotheslining her off the top rope. Back in the ring, Emma gets two. She tosses her around by the hair a few times. Emma mocks the seductive crawl so Aksana slams her a few times and drops an elbow. Emma fights back and tosses her into the buckles; she grabs her by the ears and drops her on her ass. She applies a cravat as Lance Storm's name is dropped (he trained Emma). Emma gets a nearfall and then goes for a suplex but spends too much time bumping and grinding, allowing Aksana to push her into the corner. Emma gets a boot up in the corner but acts like she is drunk and stumbles into a spinebuster to end it.   1.5/10 Usually the divas matches on NXT are really good (comparatively speaking) but this one wasn't. I don't get Emma's gimmick, not sure if she is discoordinated, clumsy, stupid or just drunk? Whichever, she barely got a move off here so I have no idea if she is any good or not. Aksana, despite improving a little, is terrible.
 
Here is your winner… Aksana via spinebuster pinfall
 
In the back Renee Young is in the back next to a kayoed Bo Dallas; the doctor's check on him as Young reports that they do not know who did it or if he can compete in the number one contender's match, which is up next…
 
Corey Graves vs. "The Ascension" Conor O'Briannumber one contender's match:   This was supposed to be a triple threat but someone attacked Bo Dallas in the back, so he's out. Odd decision, since both men are heels. Graves goes for the leg but O'Brian launches him off. Corey tries a go-behind but he gets slung across the ring again. Conor TOWERS over Graves and runs over him three times with shoulderblocks; he then applies rolling headlocks and maintains control with it. Graves fights free but O'Brian just mails him into a trapezius lock and we take a break. Odd time for it as there was no transition. We return with Graves getting backdropped to the floor, out of the corner. O'Brian leaps out of the ring and continues to stalk Graves and back him into the apron. Conor keeps control with stomps; Corey rolls to the floor to try to goad O'Brian into chasing him. It works. Graves low dropkicks Conor's knee as he is reentering and is able to take over; he slams O'Brian's legs on the apron and then wraps it around the ringpost. Back in the ring, Graves works the leg with a leglock. O'Brian tries to free himself so Graves just begins to drop elbows onto the knee. He reapplies the leglock but Conor powers himself free atomic dropping Graves onto the mat. Corey is able to maintain control dropping O'Brian's knee on the mat. He applies a standing toehold and then reapplies the leglock. O'Brian punches free but walks into a drop-toehold and another leglock variant. A second commercial break follows. When we return, both men are battling on the floor but O'Brian is limping around. Back in the ring, Graves still has the advantage and keeps on the back of the leg and reapplies the leglock; O'Brian grabs his head and butts his way free. Conor tries the one-legged comeback; he hits a few clotheslines and a flapjack. O'Brian looks to finish but the lights go out and here's the Shield decimating both men. I guess that explains who took out Bo Dallas. The match is over as Graves suffers a Shield Bomb; O'Brian also suffers one too. Post-match, Ambrose reminds us there is no escape from the Shield. Rollins gets a nice reaction from the crowd as he states the Shield is going to make things better, but first they have to get BAD. Reigns says no one is outside the grip of the Shield. BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!   5/10 The match was pretty basic but I like Graves' stratagem against the bigman. Corey looked like a little gnat in there with O'Brian who looked massive compared to him; he fought like one too as he used his speed to keep O'Brian off-balance. The Shield's attack may have ruined the match but it was a nice surprise. I like the fact that they can pop up anywhere and attack anyone, heel or babyface at any moment.
 
Here is your winner… No Contest
