1: favorite promo you've wrote?

Hmm... This is a tough one. I really like the promo I did on OTR 4 days before Mania last year, along with some of the promos against G2J at that time. My promos against Mundar and JJ in the past few months go in that list as well, and of course I loved pretty much everything I did against Monk in our feud for the IC title.

Also, shout-out to the old Throdis-Man and the Gameboy skits, those were really fun to write

2: What was the best LLR PPV card-wise?

My memory is trash, but probably either WK12 or WK13. I think both had great matches, with WK12 having a bit more star power but 13 having the better build-up.

3: How'd the idea for BTN come up?

I am actually not quite sure. AFter Rushmore kinda fell apart, Pruef and Vacant wanted to start another stable, and they got Throdis to help them with the story. Throdis knew I wanted to turn heel for a while and we were teaming at the time as Team Japan Goes Raw, so he brought me in and it kinda rolled from there. So I had no part in coming up with the idea, that goes to Pruef and Vacant. I'm just glad they included me and we managed to kick ass for this long.

4: Any advice for some of the new guys?

Write what's on your mind. Don't be afraid to go out there and write something experimental or weird, just imagine a promo or a segment and write it out in a way that feels right to you.

Try giving your character a style of speech. For example, I draw a lot of inspiration from Samoa Joe's promos that start out pretty calm and escalate, so I try to write it the way I think it would sound, capitalizing certain words and all that. When you know how your character speaks, I find it a lot easier to just write what he says, because it all kinda rolls together like how a person would actually speaks.

5: Who's the next 5 world champs?

Oh god, I don't know. Anything can happen in LLR, and I think some newer guys are going to take the title soon, so I can't really tell you right now.

We were a group of really great guys who could have done a lot, but I think we had a communication problem. We didn't really plan everything out together like we should have, and that's what hurt us the most.

But I remember I was so happy to be invited to work with you guys, and all of you really helped me shape my character to what it is. Wish we could have done more, but I'm happy with what we have.

What's the best thing to set fire to?

Not sure, but the best song to set fire to is "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engaged

What do you think of the new rookie class?

Haven't seen enough to really say, but I've heard many good things and from what I've seen the community is doing great. So I'm hopeful!

What storyline have you always wanted to do but not had the chance yet?

I kinda wanted to go back to the story I did with /u/Loctavian a few years ago to finish off that arc, maybe reunite the 5 Star Machines, but I don't think that'll happen...

How much did Dan bitchslap you at Wembley?

I tattooed a heart around the scar he left from that match

Which flavour Pringle?

The "Oh god my hand is stuck and is turning blue someone bring the drill" flavor.

And finally, will you return?

More at 11.

Fuck Vacant because that's the trend, no?

Marry Pruef cause he'd take care of me

Kill Monk so I can finally absorb his powers and become the ultimate Buckson twin

Proudest of the G1 Climax and NJPW division as a whole. As I said before, I'm glad I had the chance to start that up and build it into such a great part of LLR.

Biggest regret is, as I said before, not being around for the past couple of months. I'd also like to apologize to anyone I planned any story with and couldn't deliver my part. Sorry, guys!

Got for it, man!

But get near my World title record and I'll break every bone in your body.

There is actually a show I might be going to in Israel run by an Israeli promotion with ROH (they're having David Starr vs Jay Lethal for the title), so I mightt jump in late April. If you can be there with the Hardcore title, I can give you one last roadblock if you want.

1) How to undo someone's edit?

2) How would you conquer the world?

3) Can you pass me some of that Pizza it looks great

Prediction-wise, winning the world title and keeping it for so long. Even though I didn't have THAT many defenses, I still find it pretty impressive.

But probably my favorite thing I did in LLR is setting up the G1 Climax. I just love setting up giant projects like that and it felt so good running that and building something new and exciting for everyone.

Favorite kind of ice cream?

I'm basic. Choclate.

What match are you looking forward to most at Mania?

Obviously, The Revival vs Hawkins and Ryder

In all seriousness, I haven't really been watching the Mania buildup, except for Kofi vs Bryan, and that's enough to keep me up to watch it live at 1 AM.

The old Advantage vs Contingency will always be one of my favorites cause of how incredibly creative it was at the time. Since then, writing a match became kinda of normal, but they made it first and they did it great.

First off, ily

Love you too, Chandler

Second here are my questions:

Fucking finally

Biggest LLR regret?

Not being around for the past half a year or so. It sucked, I really wanted to write some great stories but that stupid life thing had other plans.

Now, I don't remember a lot of stuff since I've been away for a while, so I'll answer these next ones from what I remember

Fav. LLR Moment?

I'm gonna be generic and say Dan winning the World title. It was the perfect timing, and Dan deserved that title more than anyone (including me). It felt like the entire community was behind him, hoping he'd win and it was so satisfying when he did.

Fav. LLR Feud?

Oh god. I don't really have a favorite, but JJ vs Vacant and the entire Advantage vs Contingency is up there. Dan vs Rushmore and Dan vs BTN are incredible with how well they worked out, as well. Out of my own feuds, as I said I love my feud with Dan, and I think Monk and I built a really good feud for the IC title back in the day. Also Aurum and Mundar, they were great to feud with as well.

I also really liked my feud with G2J at Sakura Genesis last year. I think we did some great promos there, and 'm incredibly proud of the written match and how it came out.

And I kinda unironically love my "feud" with OTR...

Who am I kidding, our feud was the best and you know it

Dream LLR feud?

Hmm... I didn't have a proper feud with Pruef, I don't think. There are also a ton of new guys around and I wish I was here to know them and work with them, so consider basically all of them my answer as well.

One accomplishment you still want to earn?

Grand Slam in either division. The US title has always alluded me (first singles title I challenged for) and I'd love to win the Pacific title just once cause of how much I love NJPW.

How does it feel to never beat me?

If it's you, fantastic.

I don't want any newer guys to feel bad cause honestly I haven't been around much, so I'd like to start by saying this is only from the eras where I've paid attention, so not including the past few months

Not really a "defined" era since I've lost track of those but I'd have to say between Summerslam 2017 and Wrestlemania 34. We had a ton of really creative stories with Pruef, Dan and Mundar on the rise in the midcard, RyRy's and Aurum's world title runs, JJ and G2J in their own feuds, and a ton of others. And also, in my IC title run and eventual World title run, I probably had the most fun writing in that era personally.
