The scene opens up at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. You see Jay sitting at his desk as camera’s begin to roll
Jay: Welcome back. Our next guest is a professional wrestler. And his Sunday he wrestles at Rasslemania V. Ladies and Gentleman, The APW Xtreme Champion, The Hardcore Kid.
Cheesy intro music plays as the Hardcore Kid walks out, wearing a faded blue jeans and a black leather jacket with a Rasslemania V shirt under it. The Kid makes his way to the chair and Jay greets him with a handshake. Jay sits back at his desk as the Hardcore Kid sits in the chair next to the desk and the music stops.
Jay: Welcome to the show.
THK: Thanks for having me. Its always been a dream to be on this show.
Jay: I gotta ask you something. As everyone knows, I’m a fan of wrestling. And I even wrestled a match in WCW against Hogan and Dennis Rodman. But one thing that I need to know, its been bugging me since the first time I heard of you. Where the hell did you get the name, The Hardcore Kid!
Everyone laughs including the Kid.
THK: Its kind of funny. Before I got into Pro wrestling, I always been a fan of it. Same with my friends. So once we got to high school, we started doing the whole back yard wrestling thing, which I don’t agree with. Go to wrestling school kids, don’t follow my path. But yah, we would do shows and I would wrestle as The Masked Snake. I found a Halloween mask of a snake head and I would wrestle with that on. Anyways, I didn’t like the name. So one night, there was a wrestling show in town. My buddies and I head on over and after the show, we wait for wrestlers to come out just so we get autographs. Some wrestler came out and we rushed over to him, and he signed some Autographs. And as he walked away, he yelled out, “Hey Kid” and we all looked over and we we’re all confused and then he said “Hardcore Kid” because I had a shirt on that had Hardcore Across the chest. And he opened up his bag, took out one of his shirts that he was selling at the event and tossed it to me. And The Hardcore Kid name kind of stuck.
Jay: Well that was nice of that wrestler.
THK: Yah, but when he threw me the shirt, he told me take the one I was wearing off cause I looked like a jack ass. I don’t think it helped that I had a huge mustard stain on it.
Jay: So you we’re like one of those red neck wrestling fans who would sit in the front row shoving Hot Dogs in your mouth?
THK: Yah, you can say that. The positive thing from that is that I have all my teeth.
Everyone laughs
Jay: So this Sunday your fighting at Rasslemania V in a Hardcore in Hell Match. Now, I’m not sure what that is, so fill us in.
THK: I’m not even sure what it is. I think its fair to say that this is our version of the Japanese Death Matches, but more violent. There’s C4’s, tables, fire, thumbtacks and everything else including the kitchen sink.
Jay: Fire? Thumb tacks? C4’s? Why would you be in a match with those things
THK: Because wrestling is suppose to be fake Jay. I’m not going to get hurt.
Jay: Let me say this from experience, Wrestling is not fake. The one match I had, I fall on the mat, and when I did, I fell on my ass. Couldn’t sit down for a week. You can’t fake that.
THK: I’m sure Carl Malone took care of that for you too.
Jay: Well, he is a nice man. But enough about that! Like I was saying, your fighting at Rasslemania 5. And your fighting Jason Royce?
THK: Yah, Jason Royce is who I’m fighting. Defending my title against him. The guy tried to burn my house down so….
Jay: He tried to burn your house down?
THK: Yah.
Jay: What ever happen to the days where you someone would attack you out of the blue for no reason and you fight him or the days like when someone didn’t like another person because they we’re too nice.
THK: As times change and the business grows, people get angry. But my house is fine. Repairs have been made.
Jay: And how do you get revenge on someone who burns your house?
THK: You burn them
Everyone laughs and cheers.
Jay: I guess that’s the logic way to do it. One thing that always fansinated me about wrestling is that these characters become larger than life, and when fans see you, they treat you like rock stars. Have you ever had a moment where a fans did something crazy or insane to maybe get your autographs or something?
THK: Actually, I’ve gotten really popular in the past two months. Like it feels like it happen over night. I started getting fans. I’ve been getting more and more people asking for autographs and pictures. But a few weeks ago, I can’t remember what town I was in, but we got the town I think on a Sunday and our show was on Monday. So there was a few of us who went to a mall. And there was a bench, and this guy and girl was sitting on it. And the guy had his arm around her, acting all cool. You know how guys are right Jay?
Jay: Yah, those don’t look at my women guys.
THK: Exactly. Anyways, she was probably, I’d say Twenty or Twenty one. And as we we’re walking by, all I hear is “Oh My God, those guys are wrestlers!” As I looked, she threw her boy friends arm off her, ran over, gave us hugs and ask for autographs.
Jay: I’m sure that went over well with the boy friend.
THK: It gets better. She made the boy friend take a picture of her with all of us. And I don’t think the guy really understood why she was so excited at seeing some big muscley guys. But yah, that moment sticks out for me as a crazy fan moment.
Jay: Thanks for taking the time Kid to be on the show. Rasslemania V is this Sunday on Pay Per View. The Hardcore Kid will be in action, and there’s lots of other matches on the show as well. This is a big event you don’t want to miss. Coming up next, The Foo Fighters.
Cheesy music plays again as Jay and The Kid shake hands and The Tonight show goes to commercial.

Its Blog time once again. it’s Saturday Night, the night before Rasslemania V, and I’m tired out, but at the same time, I’m pumped and excited for the event. A crazy week its been. Sent all week promoting the event. Did a few radio shows. A few autograph signings, and yesterday, I was on the tonight show with Jay Leno. Had a great time there. Hung out with Jay and Kevin Eubanks for a while after the show taping. Lots of fun. Real funny guys. Hope they ask me to be back on the show in the future.
But tomorrow night marks the end of an era. The Hardcore Ice comes to an end at Rasslemania V. For months Jason, we’ve been at each others throats. For months, I’ve out done you time and time again. And this time, I’m going to out do you where it count Just because you don’t call yourself the iceman anymore, doesn’t mean you’re a better wrestler. Nick naming yourself “The Legacy” is a joke. I controlled your legacy when we we’re together, and I’m going to control it at Rasslemania when I end your career in Hardcore in Hell. The sad thing about you Jason, is that you’ve been in this business longer than me. I’ve only been in this business for a year and a half, and in that time, I’ve already become better than you. And you know why? Because I have heart, dedication, and the love for this business. You Jason, you could just care less. You show up to events and all you look forward to is the pay check, why, because you like to spend any free time wrestling in bingo halls in front of 200 people. Time to get your priorities in check and focus on a company that respects people. A company that doesn’t use anyone. A company that not full of politics and friends in high places.
Jason, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time. And I’m sure you have as well. I’m bring everything I have to Rasslemania. And I want you to do the same. Because when the night is done, its not going to be about, who took the most damage or who dished out the most. Sure this is Hardcore in Hell. The Most brutal match in wrestling history. How a match like this is allowed to be shown on TV I’ll never know. But at the end of the night Jason, I want to really know, just who the better man is. Just who really carried Hardcore Ice. I want no excuses, no bullshit, just the bragging right of, who is better than who.
I’ve had dreams of this match Jason. Where I would beat your skull in with a chair. Put you through a table. Drop you on thumbtacks, Set you on fire. And I would have my hand raised. At Rasslemania, My Dream will be my Reality. People will see that The Hardcore Kid is not the same man who wrestled at last years Rasslemania. We’ve both come a long way Jason. Together, we brought the best out of each other, and I expect the same to happen at Rasslemania. We have the chance to steal the show, And I’m risking it all for this event. This is the kind of event that comes once a year, and you do what ever it takes to make it memorable.
Jason, Since Overdrive, you’ve gone into hiding. You’ve yet to say anything to me. Which baffles me because you’re the one who called me out. You wanted this match and you wanted my title. You had an extra week to prepare for this match. Jason, I know, deep down inside your gut, you have those butterflies. Its not because your nervous to fight me, its because your scared. Scared to have your career ended. Scared to have your ass handed to you on a silver platter. Jason, at Rasslemania, I hold your legacy in my hands. And In Hardcore in Hell, I will send you STRAIGHT TO HELL!
Jay: Welcome back. Our next guest is a professional wrestler. And his Sunday he wrestles at Rasslemania V. Ladies and Gentleman, The APW Xtreme Champion, The Hardcore Kid.
