IL SALOTTO DEL WRESTLING: An Interview with John Wayne Murdoch

Dearest friends, Cheap-Heat В goes EXTREME !

DPM Diego Piacentini and "The Master" Marco Piva-Dittrich interviewed JOHN WAYNE MURDOCH, a man who will go to any length to win his matches.

Read what he has to say.

DPM: Hi John, and welcome to We the Wrestling. What made you want to become a wrestler?

JWM: I had always been able to take a lot of pain plus I loved wrestling so doing it just made sense.

В

DPM: Who was the most important person in your development as a wrestler?

JWM: I would have to say it's Ian Rotten.

DPM: Can you tell us about your relationship with him?

JWM: At first being around him was very odd: sometimes you can't tell if he is joking with you or if he is pissed! Hahaha. But now he is like my wrestling father

DPM: Is IWA MID South your wrestling "home"?

JWM: I'd say so, yes. IWA MS is like an orphanage for wrestlers nobody wants: Ian takes us in and feeds us with knowledge and makes us better workers.

DPM: What makes the ultraviolence wrestling world so special?

JWM: Because it's still such a underground cult type vibe and the fans are amazing; plus, the limits you push your body are just extreme.

DPM: Who are the best and the worst person in the business?

JWM: The best I'd have to say is Reed Bentley, my tag partner. The worse… man, that's hard. So many fake people in wrestling to name them all.

DPM: You have been wrestling for over 10 years now: how has your style changed and evolved in this time?

JWM: I always wanted to wrestle the way I do now but at first I didn't know how to place things in a match. Now I do and it makes everything look crisp.

DPM: Some years ago you changed your ringname from Damien/Damien Payne to John Wayne Murdoch: why did you take this decision? Is there a difference between Damien and JWM?

JWM: I made the change due to everyone telling me I needed to and yes, the difference is Damien had no substance, it was just a name.

DPM: You are known for your ultraviolent matches – in which however you still display very good technical skills. How hard is it to mix those two styles on the ring?

JWM: It's easy. A lot of guys use Ultraviolent matches to hide the fact they can't work, so when you put someone like me in those matches and I can work it's just better. But to answer your question my style never changes, I just sometimes involve weapons

DPM: What is the most mental stipulation you ever wrestled under? And what do you consider to be the craziest spot you ever made?

JWM: I did NRBW and they had towels soaked in lighter fluid and they wrapped the wire in it and set it on fire: that was crazy. The craziest spot has to be the flipping pile driver off a roof.

DPM: What do you say to people claiming that "wrestling is fake"?

JWM: People that say that couldn't last a day in wrestling so they don't matter in my book.

DPM: What are your dreams for the future?

JWM: I wanna be in Japan or Germany.

DPM: Who are your top ten wrestlers of all time?

JWM: Bert Hart and Shawn Michaels: those are two that come to mind. I have so many it's hard to come up with a top ten.

DPM: Thank you so much! Anything to say to the Italian fans?

JWM: Hey, this is John Wayne Murdoch. I wanna say hello to everyone in Italy.

Well, that was interesting. And not dangerous at all, I swear!

Many thanks to John Wayne Murdoch for this very honest interview, and good luck to him for all his future endeavours!

See you next time.
