Hells Belles (HB) says: I’m with Jim ‘The Metal’ King, the BWP Rookie of the Year 2009
Hi Jim
Jim King (JK) says: Ahh there
HB says: Well we’re in 2010 and this looks like being a good year for you but for the fans I thought it would be interesting to hear how you first got into wrestling.
So where did it all begin?
JK says: Well not a lot of people know that story, so it’ll be good to finally share it. It all started in a little village called Abergele, contrary to what people have been told. Both me and my brother Marcus grew up on wrestling..not only watching but training..seeing how things are done, the effects of what moves do what, how that armlock is being put on and why it’s bending in places not meant to. But we realised that such a small place would not have the right or professional training. We learned that after an encounter with a local myth, the man with a sausageroll for a brain but that story..maybe a different time.
We found ourselves moving to London, literally living on the streets until being brought in by strangers and into the place I would learn the art of wrestling
HB says: And how long did you stay in London?
JK says: 2 years maybe?
HB says: So why did you both return to Abergele?
JK says: Both? We didn’t..as much as I loved the streets of London I couldn’t simply abandon the place where I came from. There were people I missed. I came back and although I travel here and there, Wales will always be the place where “The Metal” was born. Marcus stayed in London and although at the time we were still a team I simply thought he was avid about training. I recently learned he left the organisation as soon as I left and found a different place.
Marcus never needed friends or family but I didn’t know it was because he was the person he revealed himself to be in Wrexham
HB says: Yes that was a shock, it is hard to believe that your quiet jovial brother was actually a sneaky two faced creep. Do you feel you can ever repair the damage Rudy has done and become friends again?
JK says: I’m not sure. Marcus has always been different. Theres a saying ‘madness is like gravity, all it needs is a little push’ sometimes I think all Rudy did was give hijm that little push to push him over the edge of darkness.
HB says: Into a place that existed within him already?
JK says: Unfortunately I think so.
HB says: That is a shame. So can you ever see a time when you may fight again – side by side rather than on opposite sides?
JK says: Its hard to say. All I can say is that as of right now, it would take the forces of darkness and all that comes with evil for us to team on the same side.
HB says: Talking of evil, I notice that Rudy has left you out of the next show on the 23rd January, the first show in your home town of Abergele.
How do you feel about that?
JK says: Lets not get started..Randy Whine thinks he’s being smart leaving me out of one of the biggest shows in BWP’s history. Mr Saxon surely can’t allow him to take a “hometown hero” out of the show but Whine forgets who I am and what I stand for. I hope your reading this Rudy and all of the Word Association.
I am The Metal.
I am the King
And I.AM.JUSTICE!
And I will be there…..
HB says: Well said Jim and I hope you do make it to the show.
Ignoring Rudy though where do you see yourself in 12 months time?
JK says: Ignoring Rudy, that’s a hard one. Well its a long shot but justice is served, maybe you’ll be addressing the BWP World Catchweight Champion in 12 months from now!
HB says: Well I don’t blame you for aspiring for the BWP gold and good luck.
In order to further your career and achieve your goal, who would you like to fight if you had the choice and why?
JK says: Right now, the one thing I need to do is beat my brother. I’m stuck in a place where I’m still associated with my darker brother – when I beat him, prepare for a new King, same good looks, different attitude.
HB says: Then I wish you well with that and hope you achieve victory over the black sheep in your family.
To end the interview in the usual style, please can you give me one word associations (excuse the term) for the following words?
WORD ASSOCIATION?
JK says: Boring nights of scrabble (Yes I’m talking about Whine and his Goons)
HB says: Well not exactly a one word answer but very apt.
How about THE JUSTICE CIRCLE?
JK says: Victory.
HB says: RUDY WYNNE?
JK says: One word .. really? .. I’ll go with a simple BORING
HB says:ha ha and G-MAN?
JK says: Flexible (don’t ask)
HB says: Well what can I say – moving swiftly on – MARCUS KING
JK says: Coniver
HB says: Interesting!
SEBASTIAN WINTERZ
JK says: Epic
HB says: MOST HATED PERSON?
JK says: The other King.
HB says: FRIEND
JK says: Sebby D Winterz
HB says: And lastly, CHAMPION
JK says: Justice will always be the lasting champion.
HB says: Good point Jim.
Well thank-you for an enlightening interview and maybe next time we can discuss your “Sausageroll for a Brain” reference and the origins of your nickname “The Metal”.
JK says: I would love to explain that one soon. And thank you, having my own interview made me feel like a rockstar!
HB says: Well you are a local wrestling star, so thats pretty close
JK says: Touche
HB says: Thanks, that was great Jim.
JK says: The pleasure was all mine.
