Elevator Pitch with Zach Beverage #5

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: Starkiller

ZB:  OK.  So it's clear that you are a big fan of George Lucas (or at least Star Wars).  You chose to take the name of a character not common to the movies.  Why Starkiller over Fett, Solo, etc?

SK:  So you are one of those idiots who wants to poke fun at my name?  To answer your question,  I needed a cool wrestling name for my career in the LWL.  Now if you want to poke fun at that I want you to think about other LWL stars like Mercury (isn't that one of the planets in the solar system).  Or this Santa Claus.  I won't get into detail on that one since it's the Christmas season.  There are others but I'll let you worry about that.

ZB:  Was actually just curious about the name.  But whatever.  So You trained in Japan.  Why put down long-term roots in Lone Wolf?

SK:  After my 4 year stint in the US Army ( I was stationed in Okinawa for 2 years of my enlistment),  I decided to study martial arts, and while I was training, I met former APL star and current IWA Hall of Famer- Cybernetrix.  Everyone knows the story about my coming to Lone Wolf.  Why I chose Lone Wolf?  Because it was a brand new promotion in the process of getting off the ground and Cybernetrix wanted me to start in here.  It was the right move....at least it was to me.

ZB: You have gone from being among the most loved to the most reviled wrestlers in the company almost overnight.  How do you feel about that?

SK:  How I feel about that?  Simple, the fans are a bunch of two-faced, backstabbing cowards!  Oh yeah, they pulled for me when It suited them, but in the end, they never gave a damn about me.  The minute I started speaking my mind, and said some things they didn't agree with, they cut me loose.  The Lone Wolf fans are ungrateful and stupid!   And I'm not afraid to say that openly now.   To those that still believe in me, and look to me as a hero, congratulations!  You're smarter than the rest of the trash.

ZB: You're here for a meeting with top brass.  Do you think that you are going to be censured, fined, fired?

SK:  You mean the "top brass" that let a fruit loop like Honey Broadway into the Lone Wolf in the first place?  Are you talking about the same "top brass" that is running the company into the ground and forcing the original superstars out of the company?  Is that the "top brass" you're talking about?  They are a joke, and I spit on each and every one of them.  And as far as being censured or even fired goes, that is never going happen!  They need me more than I need them and I'm not going anywhere.

ZB:  Your recent comments have been incendiary and definitely unpopular.  Even some words appear to be hate-filled.  On top of that, you have been accused of being a gimmick thief because of the timing of your statements.  What do you say to people accusing you of just being a heat seeker?

SK:  A gimmick thief?  Ha Ha Ha...That's funny.  Let me ask you something, Zach.   Do you see a bible in my hand?  Do you see a clergy collar and suit on me?  I've always believed in what’s right and made a stand against what’s wrong.   That hasn't changed just because the fans decided to stab me in the back. If taking a stand against the wrong in Lone Wolf makes me a heat seeker then (I guess) I really am guilty of that.

ZB: What do you plan to do after the wrestling days are over?

SK:  Honestly I haven't thought that far ahead. Retirement is a long way off for me but believe me if that should ever change you'll be the first to know my plans.

The elevator doors open and several staff members are waiting just outside the doors for Starkiller’s arrival.

ZB:  Looks like this could be a long meeting for ya.  Good luck and thanks for the chat.
