Elevator Pitch with Zach Beverage #1

 So what happens in the Lone Wolf Building when a superstar gets in the elevator for the ride to the top floor? 

The world's shortest interview is what happens courtesy of resident elevator attendant and social media aficionado Zach Beverage.  

Today's surprise interview:  Happy Ralphie Bloodthirst

ZB:  I gotcha for 1-minute champ.  And the fans always wanna know.  So here we go:  Question 1) Who is your toughest opponent?


RB: There's a long list of great opponents I've faced since I joined the LWL; Most people would expect me to say Johnny Canuck or Starkiller, but I can't name people I do not respect.  Honestly, my toughest opponent is the man you see right now holding the LWL Imperial Title...myself.  I know that sounds cliche and there's a lot of other wrestlers around here who put on this persona that they're insane, but there's a real struggle I battle almost every minute of everyday.  Maybe it's more of an anger issue, but it's something that is very difficult to turn off.  I've had some really high highs and some really low lows.  Maybe the fact I know I'm nuts means that I'm really not.  Does that make any sense?

ZB: Nope. Not at all.  Next question - What is your greatest match? 

RB: Anybody who was witness to the Mount Bloodmore Match knows without a doubt, that was the greatest match of my career.  Sure, the fallout afterwards didn't take the path that I wanted, but Antler and I are on good terms again.  That night was the most painful and hardest to recoupperate from.  I've always been thin-skinned, bleeding-wise, but that match has made it virtually impossible for me to enter the ring and not leave some hemoglobin behind.  It's something I just deal with.  Winning the IWA World Title would be a very close second.

ZB: Halfway to your destination - Question 3) Who is really the best wrestler in Lone Wolf? 


RB: The best wrestler in the LWL is me, I'm the one holding the Imperial Title, correct?  Aside from me, there's a great new den of lions coming in and they're all starving for great success.  I'm always going to give a little more preference to the guys who've been around and done it longer.  My buddy, El Hijo del Armas Archuleta, would be on the short list of guys I think is the best.  That guy can go any style.  Might not quite be as hardcore as I am, but that's not a knock against him by any stretch.

ZB:  Last one.  What do you think of your list of contenders?  And who would you face if you were in control of booking? 



RB: Really, it seems the contenders list is kinda thin right now, namely because Westboro and Antler have had to hang it up.  There are the young guys around here, but none have stepped up and seperated from the pack.  The one guy I would like to face in concentrating on the tag scene right now.  Actually, both guys in that tag team - Questionable Motives.  There's been a lot of wars between QM and Bloodhunt.  Montgomery and Hannibal are the only adversaries I've ever had any real respect for.  Montgomery is the consummate professional.  Since he's straightened his life up at home, he's gotten even better in the ring.  Truly "Magnificent".  Hannibal is a guy I totally relate with.  He's nuttier than a seven-layer fruit cake, but that guy can get after you.  He's not the "Extreme Icon" by name alone.  It'd be an honor to defend against either of those two.
