First question, just for those who don’t know who you are, who are you? Your name, who where you trained by, what promotions do you mainly work for, ect?
-Hi, I’m “the 8 Bit Luchador” Player Uno and I’m a video gaming/wrestling fanatic. You can see me regularly at CHIKARA Pro, C4 Wrestling, InterSpecies Wrestling and on occasion at Ring of Honor and North Shore Pro Wrestling as well as many other places. I was trained Crusher Klein, a student of Al Snow who later on was put in charge of Al Snow’s school’s teaching.
How did you get into wrestling?
-I was raised on it, really. Always watched it as a kid, my mom made me a regular viewer. At one point (the Attitude era), she wanted me to stop watching as it was too graphic and violent, but I secretly watched it then too. My best friend eventually found out there was a local wrestling school and I had to go. I had always claimed to my dad I’d become a wrestler, and he would just laugh. Well, I guess I showed him!
Is there any games you play besides NES? Such as…Original Gameboy?
-While I love NES, I play them all. I own every system made and have a pretty wide variety of games on all systems. Don’t discriminate is what I say!
There seems to be some tension with you and Player Dos, are you two still best friends forever?
-The tension is odd, that’s all I can really say about that. I’d love to tell you everything is gonna turn out great, and we’ll be tight forever, but I can’t read into the future. Time and actions will tell, I guess.
You were the Inter Species Champion for over a year and a half, until you were screwed over at the “4 Years of THIS!?” show, soon after defeating El Generico on that show. What’s your feelings on that? And any chance of a rematch?
-I’m still angry. It sucks to see you get screwed out of something you’ve worked so hard to earn and maintain. Giant Tiger is a disgrace, and if given the chance, I have no doubt I’d get my belt back. I guess time will tell on this one as well, but I would for sure have a “rematch” of sorts.
Who are your dream opponents and tag team partners?
-I never know what to answer to this one. I’d love to tag and wrestle everyone out there, some more than others, but none really would top a list. It’s pretty confusing. I’d love to work some of the top talent in the indys and on TV. Shawn Michaels, Jericho, Chris Hero, Jerry Lynn, Kenny Omega, Conquistador 1231312312314123… Give me anyone, really. As for tag, I’d like to tag with Brodie Lee so I never have to be on the receiving end of his big boot ever again.
How did you get to be Player Uno? Gimmick idea wise
-Player Uno is just me. I had a lot of help from El Generico and others to really made me realize that the best way to succeed is to be yourself, and really, Player Uno is me. Fun loving & video gaming every day guy, who just so happens to wear a mask and love to beat the crap out of people on the weekends.
Have you reached your goal in wrestling yet?
-My goals always change, you can’t just have one goal, because then you get to it, and then what? I’ve done a lot of my earlier goals. Wrestling the ECW arena, wrestling in the states, wrestling for ROH, winning belts, heck just wrestling on it’s own is an accomplishment. I’d love to make it overseas and more on TV (I was on HD Net, woo!), but everything happens with time and hard work.
Do you still have hard feelings towards Delirious for calling Peach a tramp?
-I did publicly accept his apology on the night we took the Campeonas De Parajas away from Incoherence, but the words will always linger in the back of my head. He ain’t on the top of my X-Mas list, that’s for sure.
You and Player Dos are former Campeonas De Parajas, and you are also currently shooting for the Young Lions Cup. Once you win it, or Dos’ reign ends, will the two of you attempt to become two time champs?
-At the very moment, that Young Lions Cup is my main goal. As for being two time champs, I would love to be. It’s just a matter of seeing if Dos is up for it or if we can even work together anymore. I guess we’ll see what happens. I’m hoping for the best.
How do you come up with all your fancy moves? Do you have a favorite move?
-A lot of moves I do are just tributes to video games I play. As for the games I’ve invented on my own, it just happens from training. I’m a big fan of my electric chair craddle breaker (which you might know as the Game Genie) which I actually invented by giving it to my friend’s younger brother by accident. He was like 7.
If the WWE or TNA came calling, would you sign on, or are you happy wrestling for the smaller promotions?
-I’m happy wrestling for “smaller” promotions, but i would definitely accept. I don’t know how long I would last there, but I couldn’t say no to such a huge opportunity. A lot of people go through a lot of hard work and dedicate their lives to get to one of the Big 2 and never get a shot, I would not want to be the one who refused.
IT’S TIME FOR SOME EVEN RANDOMER QUESTIONS :D:D:D
What is your favorite music?
-I like all music. My playlist right now varies from Jay Z, to the Flobots, to Armcannon, to the Misfits, to Eminem, to Journey, to Miley Cyrus (only one song though), to Metallica, to Michael Jackson, to Kid Rock, to Sheryl Crow… I think you get the point :)
I heard you like Roseanne, Is that true?
-This is fact. Roseanne is my guilty late night viewing.
The Final, Mind numbing question…Will you become the 16-Bit Luchador? Ever?
-Everyone’s gotta get an upgrade one day, I’m sure mine will eventually happen.
