Part 3 of the EWF X8 Interview Series-Billy Roc

Fans,

Billy Roc returns to The Hotseat, for what I believe is his third time, appropriately enough it is also the third installment of the EWF X8 interview series! Billy is a rising star on the independent scene, currently wrestling for promotions such as NWA Indiana, IWA Mid-South, Insanity Pro Wrestling, and recently debuting for CHIKARA, among others. I believe him to be one of the top light heavyweight wrestlers out there today, and you can check him out at EWF's X8 Tournament on April 21-or you could also call The Indy Wrestleline at 317-592-9401, opt. 3 for The Hotseat to get a sneak peek of who this talented young man is!

10-Falls with Referee Jason Harding

10-Falls Interview with
Referee Jason Harding


"One of the best independent professional wrestling referees in the midwest is Jason Harding. In a few short years of being in the pro wrestling business, Jason has been able to put himself into a position of refereeing some matches for some of the best talent in pro wrestling today. Trust me when I say, you may not know Jason's work now, but you definitely will see him in the big time soon....."--Randy Klemme

1) How long have you been in the business and where did you receive your training?

JH: I have been in the business since October of 1998 (approx. 8 years) and trained with a small group in southern Indiana.

2) What organizations have you worked for and which ones are you currently associated with?

JH: I currently work primarily for Ring of Honor, NWA-Indiana, and the Micro Wrestling Federation, with a tour of Japan's Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling thrown in for good measure. In the past, I've worked for Hoosier Pro Wrestling, Extreme Wrestling Federation, Windy City Pro Wrestling, Revolution Championship Wrestling in Illinois, Insanity Pro Wrestling, and a ton of other local organizations.

3) What has been some of the top matches you have refereed so far in your career?

JH: Probably the most prestigious match I've refereed was in Dragon Gate during the WrestleJAM tour last summer. The match was Austin Aries and Roderick Strong defending the ROH Tag Team Titles against Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino. The prestigious part about this was the fact that this match turned the ROH Tag Titles into world titles - I was honored to be involved. During that same tour, I was awed by the fact that I was given the task of reffing the main event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. An absolutely amazing experience.

4) What is the most important thing that people do not realize about being a pro wrestling referee?

JH: The one thing that is most overlooked is the referee's involvement in the overall product of the match. I firmly believe that a bad ref can bring even a good match down, but a good ref can make a good match great.

5) A pro wrestling referee isn't a glamorous job, so give us your best and worst things about being a referee?

JH: My favorite part about being a ref is the simple fact that I get to work several times a show, with many different wrestlers. I always try to take away a learning experience of some sort from every match I'm involved in, so working more than once a night just leads to more experience and more knowledge.
The worst thing, as I said above, however, is how often overlooked the referee can be. Our job description, though, is to fade into the background until we're needed - I've always heard it said that "if you don't notice the ref, then he's doing his job".

6) Any good road stories that you can pass along (keep it clean LOL)?

JH: Well, yeah, I've got road stories... unfortunately, the "keep it clean" kinda removes most of them.

Nah, in all seriousness... one of my favorite stories was pretty early in my career - I might've been two years in by this point. Diceman Ronnie Vegas invited me to travel with his group out to South Dakota, by far the farthest I'd traveled to work to that point. One thing I *DIDN'T* know, was that Johnny Grunge from Public Enemy was traveling out with us, and Rocco Rock would be meeting us there. As green as I still was then, I'll be honest, I was pretty starstruck initially. We made it out to South Dakota in one piece (barely), and got to the venue in time to start setting up the ring. Naturally, I joined in with the other rookies, as well as a few local South Dakota wrestlers, in carrying in the pieces of the ring. We were just getting everything ready to set up as Rocco Rock walked in, just arriving from the airport. He could very easily have played his 'veteran' card and gone off to shmooze and chitchat while we set things up.

That's not the kind of guy Teddy was, though.

He immediately set down his bag, walked over, and grabbed a ringpost. He stuck around until everything was set up, then proceeded to hold an impromptu seminar for the rookie wrestlers, giving pointers and dispensing knowledge selflessly.

That story always brings back good memories of a guy we lost way too early - and really taught me that no matter how long you've been in the business, or how much you've done, never disrespect your fellow brothers. That's a good lesson for everyone to learn.

7) Are there things that you would like to achieve during your pro wrestling career? Short term and long term goals?

JH: Short term goals... I suppose first and foremost, my short term goal would be to work in as many states and places as I can.

Long term (and realistically, this may be a shorter term goal than one might think), I'd obviously love to work for the WWE. That's been my goal since the first day I got into this business - if only for the simple fact that, as a referee, it's the only place I can make a living in the wrestling business.

8) Have you received any important advice from other more famous names in the pro wrestling business and what was that?

JH: I've been given tons of pointers along the line, from nearly everyone I've had the pleasure of working with - but I suppose the best advice I've been handed was from Jim Cornette. I had the distinct pleasure of working with him for Ring of Honor several times, but didn't really have much of a chance to talk to him until Wrestlemania weekend last year in Chicago. The knowledge I gained that night just from talking to Mr. Cornette, and listening to his stories, did more to open my eyes to some of the finer points of the wrestling business than anything I've experienced, either before or since.

9) Is there a difference between Jason Harding the referee and the Jason Harding in real life? and what is that?

JH: There really isn't a whole lot of difference, to be honest with you. Maybe a little less counting. That's about it. I'm pretty much me - what you see is what you get.

Whether that's a good thing or not, the jury's still out. Maybe my wife can be the judge of that one.

10) If someone wanted to become a wrestling referee...what would be three important things you would tell them to get them started....

JH: First off, go get trained. And get trained by a credible school. I can't stress enough what the simple credibility boost of having a known, quality school behind you does for a new career. I've been one of the lucky ones, in that I've been able to break through and really achieve a lot of my goals without having trained at a major name school - but it took 8 years of scraping and clawing to climb the ladder to that point. Save yourself the headache.

Secondly, even above and beyond classroom training, watch any and all tapes you can get your hands on. The body of work that a Tommy Young, or a Mark Curtis, or a Mike Chioda, etc. has available on tape is one of the best training tools a young ref could ask for. As a ref, it's all about the subtleties, and studying tapes is what'll help separate a good ref from a great one. Also, get advice from everyone you come in contact with. I try to do this, and I've gotten some really great pointers through the years, things that have really fine-tuned my style, and made me into the ref I am today.

And thirdly - get professional gear. A ref jersey and a good pair of slacks aren't expensive.

And for God's sake, tuck in your damn shirt.

    ----------------

    Hello everyone and welcome to the Indy Wrestle Line for your Sunday update, I am your weekend warrior Randy Klemme.

    First as we do each Sunday we need to send out some birthday shout outs for this week....."Main Attraction" Donny Idol celebrates a birthday tomorrow....and next Friday Indy Star Zach Gowen will celebrate a birthday, so happy birthday to both of those guys...

    Don't forget on the tube tonight, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling will air at 10:30pm on Sports Time Ohio and will replay tomorrow at 11:30pm...Speaking of CAPW, the guy who was on Smackdown as the Lichtenstein Champion against MVP was actually Johnny Gargano, the Lt Heavyweight Champion for Cleveland All-Pro. I got a message from him on MySpace and he said he did receive some positive feedback from Vince McMahon and some of the guys in the back after his 1-minute squash match. While it may not have looked like much on TV, it was an opportunity for him to open a door. Gargano is a quality wrestler in CAPW and wrestles Zach Gowen on this weeks TV shows....

    I have several comments about my latest 10-Falls interview segment...this week featuring Scarlett Rose. Check it out at themidwestinsider.com or on my MySpace page at myspace.com/midwestinsiderrandy in the blog section. Speaking of interviews, Sami Callahan is on the hot seat with Greg Carey on option #3 of the Indy Wrestle Line right now. Sami faces Hillbilly Jed in the first round of EWF's X8 Tournament April 21st in Marion, Indiana

    There are a couple of shows on the calendar for today...

Also on the card you will see Dick the bruiser Jr, Bo Bo Brazil, Jr, Andy Cheyne, Dr Love and many more. General admission tickets are $10 at the door and doors open up at 6pm....

    Also today, New Breed Wrestling Association will be in Danville, Indiana at 3pm

    The Wrestleline Report-Wednesday

    ECW on Sci Fi Results:

    Marcus Cor Von & Kevin Thorn d. Sabu & RVD

    Snitsky d. Mike Towlar

    The Sheik was the next announced inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame

    CM Punk d. Hardcore Holly

    Elijah Burke w/ Matt Stryker d. Tommy Dreamer w/ Sandman

    Bobby Lashley d. Chris Masters

    I got an email from EWF last night stating that former WWE star Al Snow has been signed for Sat. May 19-I'll have more details on this as they become available!

    One of the reasons WWE is not having the ECW One Night Stand ppv at the Hammerstein Ballroom this year is fear of a massive protest from "old school" ECW fans-since this year's ppv will be ECW/RAW/Smackdown One Night Stand. Apparently Stephanie McMahon has been arguing in recent meetings that if Paul Heyman were still with the company, he would have found a way to sabotage the event by starting protests. Dear God, can we say schitzo?

    Kenny Dykstra recently spoke out defending the WWE in the new Sports Illustrated allegations. Dykstra stated that WWE is doing a good job of policing the program and enforcing it, and that if people want to hunt down substance abuse, they should go after body builders.

    Mark Henry apparently has gained quite a bit of weight since being out with an injury. People have stated he looks to be in the 460lb range, while WWE.com still lists him as being 380. It's being said that he looked pretty immobile in his return match against Daniel Rodimer in OVW a few weeks ago.

    Melina has been told that how she performs at Wrestlemania will be a big determining factor in how her future in WWE will go. She's accepted as the best female personality in the company right now, but has a tremendous amount of heat on her backstage.

    RVD was interviewed recently by the Detroit Press to help push Wrestlemania 23; he discussed his pre-match routine, his relationship with his wife Sonya, and why he doesn't bring her on the road with him, as well as his dream match-working against the original Sheik.

    In the latest issue of WWE Magazine, Matt Hardy was asked about his feelings on Lita no longer being backstage, and he stated that is "a lot less stressful...people don't see what went on behind the camera. It was just a roller-coaster all the time. There were so many feelings involved, and there still are. I'm definitely glad she's not around anymore - out of sight, out of mind." Bob Holly was also interviewed, and asked how he felt about not participating in very many Wrestlemania events, to which he stated "It would bother anybody, especially when you know you have the talent. It's not due to the lack of talent, it's not due to being unpopular with the fans. It's due to somebody somewhere who doesn't like me."

    Apparently BG & Kip James both asked to be released from their TNA contracts a few weeks back so they could sign with WWE, but the company refused to release them.

    Brother Ray has been campaigning backstage in TNA for he and Devon to win the Tag Titles, and that appears to be the plan, although Jeff Jarrett & Dutch Mantel are beginning to become annoyed with him. Ray isn't the most popular guy backstage with the other wrestlers, but Devon & Brother Runt are cool with everybody.

    Al Snow coming to EWF!

    IWA Mid-South News & Notes

    IWA Mid-South returns to action on Saturday night March 31st

    Don Preston Recreational Center
    14500 Kostner Avenue
    Midlothian, IL 60445

    Belltime 7:30; Doors open at 6:45 p.m.
    Ticket Prices are $20 and $15 - the $10 ticket prices are no longer available so second row and back are general admission seats now

    Main Event - Street Fight - IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match

    Chuck Taylor vs. Low Ki

    Chuck Taylor called out Low Ki at the Plainfield show on March 2 by calling him a "pussy" and a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" and challenged him to this matchup. Low Ki was livid when he heard these comments and immediately accepted the challenge. Chuck Taylor intentionally got himself DQ'd the last time these two men faced each other but they will be no disqualification in this matchup. Can Chuck live up to his promise of being able to "choke to the throat" among other things on his way to protecting the title or will Low Ki be able to stay unbeaten and add the title to his list of accomplishments since entering IWA Mid-South?

    Last Man Standing
    Drake Younger vs. CJ Otis

    These two former partners have done battle in several matchups of late stemming from Finisher's Matches to Tap Out matches to No Holds Barred matches. This one could be the most brutal of them all as it will be Last Man Standing. Will this match finally crown a decisive winner in this feud? Can Drake Younger use his abilities as Death Match champion to incorporate weapons and hardcore into this matchup to put CJ Otis down for the count? Will CJ be able to use the training of Sabu and Dan Severn to prove his superiority?

    These matches have just been added to the show:

    IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Title Match
    Josh Abercrombie vs. Brandon Thomaselli
    Josh has been the light heavyweight champion for more than a year now and his last defense came against his former partner Brandon Thomaselli. After the match, Brandon turned on his friend and partner and attacked him. Josh is furious and has demanded that he be given an opportunity to beat some respect into the "Impact Bully." Will Josh even the score or will Brandon be able to bring to an end the longest title reign in IWA history?

    Old School vs. New School - Clash of Styles
    Ian Rotten vs. Ricochet
    Some fans have billed Ricochet as a one or two trick pony that has a lot to learn in the ring. Who better to do the teaching than Ian Rotten? Will Ian be able to teach Ricochet a thing or two by stretching him and outwrestling and outbrawling him? Will Ricochet be able to use his speed and quickness to pull out the victory over Ian? Can Ricochet even live to tell his friends about this experience? This could be the most intriguing matchup in quite some time in an IWA ring.

    Strong Style Battle
    Eddie Kingston vs. Ricky Reyes

    Eddie Kingston is returning from his broken ankle and wants to prove that he has not lost a step since winning the Strong Style Tournament even after that serious injury. He will have his work cut out for him against Reyes who is definitely one of the hardest hitters to come into IWA.

    We will not be taking ticket requests for shows anymore without the tickets being paid for in advance. The last few shows have seen many tickets go unclaimed that were held for fans that were supposed to come to the shows. If you want to ensure yourself of front row, you can paypal for the tickets to iwafannin73@yahoo.com or mail a check or money order made payable to Mickie Knuckles to:

    ----------------

    Hello everyone and welcome to the Indy Wrestle Line for your Sunday update, I am your weekend warrior Randy Klemme.

    Want to first send a couple of shout outs to people celebrating birthdays this week....Indy star Matt Sydal will be celebrating a birthday tomorrow and my friend Cousin Cooter Clampett celebrates his birthday on Friday of this week and I am sure there's going to be a big ol hoedown in Kentucky....

    Also want to send a big hello out to Kenny up in Peru, Indiana. He sent me a message on MySpace and said he was a big fan of themidwestinsider.com and Indy Wrestle Line....Also Big Lee down in Evansville, who contributes to my reports almost weekly, Terry in New Castle and also to Michael C. Rogers in New Albany. I am sorry Michael, I won't be able to make the TNA show in Lousiville. I know you have been looking hard for some old WCW tapes. We already mentioned Lee's Video Library on Ohio Avenue in Anderson. I looked around and you can also find a few on amazon.com and also at wrestlingclassics.com. I have a large selection of video tapes myself and went to look and found almost all of the Starcarde, Clash of the Champions series, the Crockett Cup tag tourney and one thing that is REAL sweet. All of these were VCR recorded and at the very end of all of these tapes are probably the best gems. I found some old matches from the old Georgia Championship Wrestling and also when they converted to World Championship Wrestling on TBS with Gordon Solie, David Crockett, Tony Schiavone and Jim Ross. I knew I kept those tapes for a reason. They almost drew a tear when I found them....

    Speaking of TNA, tickets for the TNA Show Friday, April 20th at the Louisville Gardens went on sale yesterday at the Gardens and at ticketmaster. Tickets are $50 for Gold Circle ringside which includes a meet-n-greet, $22 and $17. At last check, the best two-ticket package available is 7th row ringside which are $22 tickets. Apparently all Gold Circle Tickets have been sold....

    A few tickets still remain for tomorrow night's WWE Raw at Conseco Fieldhouse. Ticketmaster has some limited view upper level corner seats still available. I think I'll watch it from the living room-thanks.....

    ANYWAY, Want to let everyone know that my "10-Falls" Interview with "Pure Dynamite" Billy Roc is now up on the Midwestinsider.com in the Independents Day section. It is my best 10-question interview to date with a great guy and a great wrestler. So plan to check it out....
    ---------------------
    NOW, let's get to those all important results as two more qualified last night for the EWF X8 tournament in Marion next month as EWF had a big show last night at the EWF Arena. Here are the results...

    Jake Omen beat Chance Laredo in an X8 qualifying match

    Hillbilly Jed beat Fallen Dragon in an X8 qualifying match

    After the match, Sami Callihan stormed down to the ring and confronted Jed saying he was unworthy of being apart of X8. The men had to be pulled apart by the locker room. Hurricane announces that Sami Callihan will face Hillbilly Jed in the first round of the X8. I hate interjecting personal comments, but speaking from experience, I believe Mr Callahan's mouth wrote a check last night that his butt can't cash, and should stand warned for what he will be in for at the X8 tourney...

    Hurricane beat Hank Calhoun in a green beer chugging contest

    Bob & Wildman Rogers beat Locked N' Loaded
