The Questions:
1. Ok give me a litte HCW history/tell me about the fed.
2. Why choose the name you chose?
3. Backyarders usually get a bad rap-still getting that?
4. Goals? Dreams? Nightmares?
5. Are you too old to like wrestling?
6. Fave movies? Music? Books? TV Shows?
7. How much does pop culture playi on your presentation?
8. Somene wants to do a "spot" that is so out there, and so dangerous-do you try to talk them out of it?
9. Where can people see your "shows"
10. Got anything you want to plug? (besides an appliance)
The Answers
Keep in mind that this is a comedy fueled fed so our answers may come across as sarcasm, but gold none the less.
1. In 2000 3 young warriors set out to capture a dream. Dumb enough to take 200 tires off the hands of several local service stations begging to get rid of the mosquito-disease ridden piles acumulating behind their garages, they built the HCW ring and set out to deliver their first offering Boozapalooza. Many years later, after hearing that a local venue had already claimed dibs on the name they renamed the event Boozapaloozatwoza.
The following year came yet another event of the same name and delivered a bit more action, but at the same price as a quarter and a day old coffee. Even more laughable than the previous year's show and introduced a NEW ring official, replacing last years referee "Officer Down" with new comer "U.R.G" The show also featured new wrestlers such as "Sledgehammer", "Grunt Minion" and "The Bard".
That year showcased a feud between "The Chosen One, Positively, Above Average Cactus Kelly Candido Mamaluke" and "Ed DeGarmo" that would stem from their match at Boozapaloozatwoza that took the company to new heights featuring Coal Miner's Glove Matches, Ladder Matches and even a few Empty Arena Matches or as many of you now call them TNA Asylum matches
In HCW's 3rd year, the company relocated their events and had a new ring that was said to be stiffer than a three peckered billy goat. Only a few matches were to take place in this ring and eventually the company closed it's doors. Now with all of this never before released footage resurfacing on the internet, talks that a reunion show is in the works circulate... one can only hope not...
2.The name began as "Hardcore Championship Wrestling", but lets face it, our product is to hardcore as Maven was to pro wrestling... just didn't fit the bill, so we went to Heavyweight Championship Wrestling"... with only about two actual heavyweights wrestlers and Zach Storm in the company, we didn't think that would work well with an audience either... so we took our show at face value... "HORRIBLE Championship Wrestling"!
3. Of course they are... and rightfully so This might infact be the dumbest thing any of us ever did! We sucked! We know that now, so this might come across as hypocritical but without proper wrestling training all your doing is hurting yourself and creating physical and in our case psychological damage to yourself and those around you.
4. Goals... To see HCW Action go viral on the internet
Dreams... To see HCW Action go viral on the internet
Nightmares... To see HCW Action go viral on the internet
5. The only thing that has come with age for us is the change in the business, we can all still put on old tapes of WCW, WWE/F or ECW and mark out like there's no tomorrow, but what we see on television today is simply the shits. Just not worth our time anymore other than once a year when you hope there's a good Wrestlemania or a surprise for those of us who wanna see John Cena get hit by a train.
6. I can sum all of this up in one word... Wrestling
7. It plays a HUGE role, that's one of many demographics which needs to be targeted in order to sell our product. You need to be able to not reach just one particular demographic of your audience but to reach out to everyone. That's the art of it all, to find that happy medium and be able to speak to people on a global wide scale.
8. That all depends, being close growing up, we all knew each other's strengths and weaknesses. Whenever either of us tried to go outside of those boundaries someone would generally speak up and discuss the matter, but we also respected each others judgement which was REALLY f*cking stupid!!! I mean did you see these guys in that make-shift ring made of tires, logs, chainlink fence and a wide array of furniture cushions???

A thousand thanks to the HCW staff for doing this
A thousand pardons to the HCW staff for disturbing their Saturday shenanigans, in order for them to do this.
There used to be a backyard fed named Poverty Stricken Wrestling, that was my favorite name all-time.
