Question 1-How long has CTWE been in existence? -Almost 3 years now, CTWE began in August 2008.

Question 2-What kind of atmosphere can one expect at a CTWE event?-Family friendly, fun, and lots of high-flying entertainment.

Question 3-How long have you been a fan of wrestling?-My whole life.

Question 4-What was the first wrestling card you ever saw?-I don't remember the whole card, but the main event was The Rock vs Stone Cold, it was a house show event at the XL center in Hartford. That was the first live event I ever attended. I think it was back in 1998.


Question 5-Who did you cheer for when you were a kid?-Shawn Michaels and The Rock, hands down.

Question 6-Is indy wrestling alive and well in the state of CT? -Unfortunately I would say not it is not. CTWE is the only true independent company in CT as of right now, excluding NEW who runs in multiple states and bring sin huge names. There have been numerous companies within the past, and about 2-3 years ago around this time there were probably a good 4-5 promotions one could work for in CT.

All the more reasons for people to check this event out, I have always said that indy wrestling really needs to shine in CT. I know that CT is WWE's back yard, but some indies should exist here. Indies can only do that with YOUR support

Question 7-Who are the stars of CTWE?-Although I feel all of our talent is superb, I would have to say that the top dogs would be Dave Cole, Chris Battle, Frankie Arion, Lukas Sharp, William King, Brian Anthony, J-Busta, AJ Cruise, and Ant Battle.

I invite any of these names to post a video as a sort of way of introducing themselves.

Question 8-Where can people find out about events, and buy tickets? -They can go to www.ctweprowrestling.com or go to Ken's Cards in Berlin, CT, he is our ticket vendor. Their number is 860-832-8302

Question 9-Any chance of CTWE coming a bit closer to Hartford, CT? i don't see it happening in the near future, although never say never. We have a great relationship with the Bethany Town Hall and are very appreciative of how cooperative they have been with us throughout the years


Question 10-There are many fans who want to see the "glitz and glamor".
There are other die-hards who believe that the "wrestling" is the most
 important thing and the rest is icing on the cake?
I think that feds big or small need to strike a balance b/ween the two. What about you?- I feel that while wrestling is the sport behind the event itself, any promotion can put on good matches. but its the entertainment aspect that separates promotions from one another. people need to care about what they are seeing. Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant may have been the worst "wrestling" match of all time, but 93,000 people still came to see it and it is many people's favorite match to date, for example.

Thank you for taking the time to do this-My pleasure James.
  
I saw the Hogan/Andre match, I still remember going crazy when Hogan body slammed Andre. Steamboat/Savage may have been the show stealer in many hardcore  fans' eyes, but you can't deny the above statement. Wrestling needs to be entertaining, but still needs to focus on the wrestling  CTWE (IMO) is trying to strike a balance. Judge for yourself, come to the May 14th card in Bethany, CT.

Again my thanks to Joey Bricco for doing this.....
