WrestleArt.com Presents: "Superstar Profile" with KYLE BADGER

Q: What made you want to be a professional wrestler?

A: It has always been my true passion. I don't really have a defining moment or specific occurrence. I started watching it as a young kid, and since then it just clicked. I knew what I wanted to do.

Q: Was getting in the ring for the first time what you expected?

A: No, not at all. I definitely was not expecting to be as sore as I was the following day.

Q: How important is it to look the part?

A: Very.

Q: Is there any person you wouldn't want to see on the other side of Kyle Badger vs. __ ?

A: No, not at all.

Q: Is there a match of yours (good or bad) that stands out in your mind? Why?

A: I was fortunate enough to have a match with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. He was the first "name" I ever worked, so that will always stand out in my mind.

Q: How important is it for you to make money in wrestling?

A: VERY! Not necessarily just for the money, but what the money represents. If you're making money in wrestling you are either signed to WWE, TNA or have a big name on the indy scene, and isn't that what we are all working for?

Q: Have you achieved all of your goals you set when you first embarked on this journey?

A: Not even close .

Q: Are there any indy wrestlers or tag teams you feel are ready for the big time?

A: Scott Scarsdale...duh.

Q: What is the importance of taping your match for your own personal use?

A: Being able to break down your match from a fan's perspective is important.

Q: What's your most embarassing moment in the ring or on the road?

A: The reoccurring embarrassing moment of watching Viper the Ninja never being satisfied with his fast food order, and making sure all the employees know about it. NEVER FAILS!

Q: If you could switch careers with any wrestler (professional or independent) who would it be and why?

A: That's a really good question. I don't know that I have an answer for that.

Q: Wrestling boots or shoes?

A: Boots.

Q: Wrist tape or no wrist tape?

A: Wrist tape.

Q: Tag or singles?

A: Singles.

Q: Do independent championship titles mean anything to you?

A: They all mean something to me... at least to some degree, obviously. Some mean more than others, but if you're a champion of a fed you work for, hopefully it's because you're doing something right, so that's a good thing.

Q: I hate, hate, FUCKING HATE when wrestlers don't use the tag ropes, or promoters don't provide tag ropes. I see this as something that's wrong with wrestling on the independent level. What is something that rubs you the wrong way about the indies?

A: "Hip toss, arm drag, bodyslam." Dear Christ, be at least slightly more creative with your offense.
