*There is a set with two chair filled with two men. One guy looks like a normal everyday guy, early 20s. In the other chair sits Dake Ken. He has on a pair of blue jeans and a Flaming Lips t-shirt. He looks relaxed. The back ground is slightly new aged. There are some industrial looking pipe structures and there are TVs in the background showing clips from old wrestling events. The young guy begins to speak.*
Guy: Dave Martin here with Underneath The Mat News. Today we are interviewing Chris Breazeal ... better known to everyone as Dake Ken from XGWO and WCF.
Dake: That'd be me.
Dave: Alright well thank you for the time man, it's awesome.
Dake: Not a problem man. I love doing this stuff. Back before I was acutally a wrestler I was as into the stuff that went out oustide of the ring as well as inside. I think that that is what makes this sport great. I mean you have your off the feild drama in football and baseball and stuff, but in all reality ... it's all hype. Those guys don't see eachother everyday. Those heated rivalries aren't really there like they are in wrestling. I mean and when you get two guys who hate eachother in the ring ... isnt' that the best?
Dave: Hell yeah it is.
Dake: It just creates that tension that is so ... wonderful.
Dave: So ... explain all the backstage problems that went on for a while ... it was rumored about you starting all this, and ... well you know.
Dake: Well, I'll be 100 percent honest. That entire thing was just a way of making sure things happend the way I wanted them to happen. I knew if I played my cards right I could do two things. I could get Chuck to keep his belt, but at the same time I could easily vent some of my porblems with the company. I mean, I got a lot of heat for it, but at the same time, no one really ended up blaming me for anything. I went away. I mean that got me heat as well, but hell, it's better to have heat from fans than from the boys.
Dave: So it was a plan all the time.
Dake: It's all politics man. All of it. Like it or not, at the end of the day, if you don't play your cards right, then you aren't really going to come out on top. I mean ... I personally think you need to be good in ring. If there is one thing I pride myself on ... it's in ring word.
Dave: You're one of the better technical wrestlers around today. You seem to do very well with making matches run smooth. Although, you seem to be off your game as of late.
Dake: Yeah ... well, I've had a lot of bad bumps since I've come back. I did really well, and then I just got hurt. It happens you know. I'm not as young as I was when I did this back in my first XGWO run you know.
Dave: True true. Now. You have a big match coming up at School of Pain. Will there be a problem?
Dake: No no no. I'm feeling better. The only thing wrong with me is the fact I dropped a speaker cabniet on my fucking big toe. On my right foot. I think I broke it ... it hurts, but meh, minor thing. Besides there's always something magical that happens when I get in the ring with one of my friends. You know it always is like that. You know when Dave ... you know Neo, and I had our little thing back in the day ... it was crazy. People loved it. Dave and I play off eachother well ... our little feud, I personally felt, over shadowed him and Sean ... Trent Hunter. It all just seemed to be crazy. Dake and Neo was the biggest shit.
Dave: Well we all watched and saw how you guys really worked well with eachother. Can we expect that with Jack?
Dake: Sure you can. Like I said, I have good matches with personal friends of mine. Jack and myself are cool. He is a great guy, and the best part is the fact that he is just as good technically as me. I mean ... he is really something awesome to watch. I would honestly say he is the next big time guy. I know he only has the hardcore title right now, but I mean ... he would have had it all if he wouldn't have agreed to do the T.o.T thing.
Dave: Speaking of T.o.T you still unhappy with Logan.
Dake: There's a reason that Seth won't let Logan and I wrestler. I hate JC. I think he's a bastard. I think he's good for nothing in the ring and on the mic. I think that you need to be better in the ring than on the mic to be a top carder, but when you are that bad on both ends, then you shouldn't even be a mid carder. He's horrible, and I think that it's bullshit that he has what he has now, and that he is still getting pushes and all that. Although I was suprised that he finally took the job with Tort. That was great ... I geuss it was all part of the plan though.
Dave: So you didn't think it would work.
Dake: Fuck no I didn't. I thought it wasn't going to work at all. I had one little bit of hope though, and well ... hey it worked huh.
Dave: Although you were really for it at first, you seem to have been backing away from The New Dynasty storyline as of late.
Dake: Well mainly I was just backing away from speaking on WCF TV. For reasons that well, there are a lot of reasons. I didn't like the fact that no one was pushing the story that we had come up with. We all have a reasonable amount of controll over this story and just ... when we finally all agreed on it, and had Seth agree on it ... he did nothing to push it. Logan being a bastard really made things worse. He wouldn't regard the storyline nor would anyone in the T.o.T.
Dave: So how did you and Jack even become friends.
Dake: Respect really. I really think he's interesting as a person and as a character. I know that it all started with him being awesome when I first came back. We had a bit of heat when I cut a promo which was aimed at cutting down his character. He took personal offense to that. I mean, I can understand, he had come up with Jack of Blades and it was his stuff you know. However my who gimmick has been to weed out the frauds and the men since ... well a long time ago.
Dave: So that heat was smoothed over.
Dake: Yeah we had a long talk about it. He's a really good guy and it just took some explaining. I can understand why he was mad. I would have been too I imgaine. It wasn't totally cool of me. I forget how many new guys are in WCF. I just need to touch base with all of them.
Dave: Yeah, but you still have been very critical of some of the new WCF talent.
Dake: Yeah the
*Dake makes finger quotes.*
Dake: "talent."
Dave: Now I'm not asking you to name nam...
Dake: Like Chino?
Dave: Well if you want to.
Dake: I don't care. He's stupid. He's a dipshit backstage, he doesn't have a good gimmick, and he's about as fun to watch in the ring as watching a couple of old people have sex. Honeslty the guy is shit. Him and his little stable and his recruits can go shove it. I don't like them, I don't think they have anything. It's stupid.
Dave: What do you think about Kencedro.
Dake: Well, I have no problem with him. As you know CD does. When the hell does Curt ever take it easy though. I mean ... he just ... he's a dick sometimes, but it's all in good fun. I mean this place would be boring as hell without him making some awesome jokes.
Dave: Rumor has it you plan on trying to spice things up.
Dake: Well, it all started with the return of Dave. When I talked to Neo about coming back, it took a while, but I got him to sign that damn contract. It was my idea to get him back, and I brought him back. I've been thinking of doing something cool, something different with him, and you know I can't talk about it, or that would ruin it, but just keep your eyes open, I'll give you some clues, you just have to watch for them man. You guys know me, you've been following me for years.
Dave: You can't tell us.
Dake: Not a chance.
Dave: Will we be shocked.
Dake: Depends.
Dave: Hahah. ... How is the relationship between Seth and you now?
Dake: It's great now. Everyone took that one thing so out of ... I mean ... look there was some shit that I had building up. I felt lilke I had been getting jobed for long enough. I was tired of it. I wasn't going to do it anymore. Seth and I are good now. We have talked and we have made sure that we are able to work together. I know that I haven't been really doing stuff that can do as of late, but I mean ... I'm sorry for that. That is an apology to everyone. I'm alright now ... I was just hurt.
Dave: What do you think about Lawnmower Jones.
Dake: Funniest shit ever. Easily the best gimmick ever. He's good in the ring too, so that's great.
Dave: What are up with X-Rated and Trent Hunter.
Dake: Alex and Sean are just relaxing. Alex dosen't do movies any more. He has moeny and he just chills out. We have fun now and then. He's a great guy. As always though Sean and I are still tight. We've been tight forever. We always will be. Sean is like ... Sean is my best buddy in this buisness. He retired, and I'm still going. I mean, Sean has done this for a long time, so I understand.
Dave: Ever going to see The Elite again.
Dake: Maybe. If you see The Elite again, I want to try and get it with that orginal line up. If they aren't up for it. I'm not sure.
Dave: We going to see Dake Ken with the WCF World Title?
Dake: Maybe, I'll see if I can politic my way into that too.
Dave: Is it THAT political.
Dake: Well my primary job is a politican ... my secondary job is a pro-wrestler.
Dave: Hahaha. Well I must say Dake it's been great thank you.
Dake: You're welcome. Thank you.
