[Director Callahan]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?

I don't think this one's really applicable to me seeing as I'm the one drawing up the contracts.

Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?

I've lived in Washington State my entire life and while I grew up in the town of Kelso, I've been in Seattle for a year now. I set up here because it was convenient for me.

What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?

To get things running smoothly and put on some killer shows as we head towards our first pay-per-view and crown our first ever champion.

What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?

We want to build a global fanbase and put on some incredible shows and matches that'll leave you hooked. Our product is the purest and you're going to love it

Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?

Johnny Rebel, easy.

A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?

It's a beautiful city in a beautiful state. We're half a day away from LA and Vegas so killer weekends are never far and the place is being run by a veteran of the industry and a man with more business sense than common sense. They know they're in safe hands.

What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?

Take guff from nobody.

What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?

Easily the greatest achievement was winning my first World Heavyweight Championship in Action Packed Wrestling but being the runner-up of Defeat the Unknown 2012, being the longest reigning Suicidal Champion in APW and getting past the qualifying round of the Experts Tournament '12 are up there.

Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?

Where does a man start? There's so many talented names that it's really hard to single out just one.

If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?

Johnny Rebel, so I can establish that I'm the boss around these parts.

If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?

I plan to bring a hands off approach to management. Far too often, figures of authority in wrestling try to be bigger stars than the ones who are putting their bodies on the line each and every night in that ring and I don't think that's right. We're PURE wrestling for a reason and I'm making a pledge to our audience that your favourite wrestlers will get the time to shine they deserve. That's the PURE wrestling way.

[Deleted]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?

I'm Ash Scion, and I've been laying low since the eWo closed this summer. I heard that there was a new promotion opening up on the West Coast, and since I like to break out of my comfort zone, I decided maybe it was time to wrestle somewhere that wasn't NYC or Toronto.

Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?

Actually, I just bought a condo on the 9th floor of the Seaboard Building this afternoon, right after the ink on my contract was dry.

What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?

Really? Is that a question? My goal is going to be exactly what it was when I walked into the eWo at the beginning of this year... make everyone take notice. It's a job that should be a little easier now. In January I was the well-trained but ultra-green rookie that no one thought would amount to much very quickly. In just six short months, the narrative changed completely, and everyone knew exactly how dangerous I was and how seriously they should take me.

Now? Well, now I'm on the other side of the country, and maybe it'll be just like starting over again. But the smart fans know better, and there'll be a few of the lads in the back who will have heard a thing or two as well. I'm not the blank slate, reputation wise, that I was in January.

What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?

Same as it's always been. I came out of a very prestigious wrestling academy determined to prove that I'm the best athlete and single most dangerous wrestler ever to graduate from it. Some people think I've already proven that, but it was never a short-term plan.

Kyle Cross, my mentor, is a multiple-time World Champion who is in 3 Halls Of Fame and who participated in some of the bloodiest, most brutal matches in this sport's history. It's gonna take me a lot more than one year to erase him from the hearts and minds of the fans and from the history books, I know that... but it's still the first thing I think of every time I wake up in the morning, every time I watch tape of my opponents, every time I step into the ring. That's my reason for existing.

Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?

I don't know either man very well. Callahan did offer me a person tour of Seattle, I may take him up on that. As former wrestlers, I think I have more in common with Rebel, but that doesn't mean we'll be all buddy-buddy here and now, any of the three of us.

A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?

I can only speak for myself, but I wanted to get away from the New York / Toronto / Chicago / Detroit wrestling circle that I came up in. Seattle will make for a nice change of scenery.

What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?

I learned something about realistic expectations of the respect I'll receive. I walked into the eWo billed as a female ultra-violence wrestler, trained by one of the absolute best in the style. All anyone saw though was a pretty redhead. So much so that everyone... almost all male... that the eWo put in front of me wanted... begged... to face me in some sort of extreme environment, like they couldn't believe that I was what I was billed as and that they wanted to be the ones to prove it. I spilled a lot of blood those first few months, both my own and that of others. Finally, it culminated with Scott Free, eWo Hall Of Famer & 3-time World Champion, challenging me to a No-Holds Barred Streetfight.

Scott Free came at me with everything he could muster in that match.

After I left him, broken, bloodied, and staring at the lights... then people started to believe. Then I was respected. Will I have to spill as much blood this time around? Will I have to nearly kill a local legend like I did Free? Who knows, but I'm ready to do whatever I have to do.

What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?

Body Count 2013. eWo's annual 40-Participant Rumble Match this past year saw me as the #1 Entrant, and the final elimination. Gabe Shelly may have won the match, but the performance I put on that night cemented me among the all-time greats of that storied promotion, and achieving that let me move on to carve a niche for myself outside of the places where the people who trained me had wrestled.

Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?

I've seen Madison wrestle a little when he was working for some Canadian indy promotion. He's got potential to be one of the early PURE breakout stars.

If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?

Doesn't matter. If I've proven anything in my short career, it's that I'll step up and face anyone, anywhere, anywhen. Seems I'm always the underdog, and yet I keep coming out on top, and that's one thing I don't expect to change anytime soon.

If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?

If you were witness to the things I did in the eWo earlier this year, well... expect more of the same. If you didn't, here's what you need to know: I am exactly what I say I am... the single most dangerous bitch inside those ring-ropes, every single time I step through them. There will be blood, PURE. Count on it.

[[APB]]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?

"Allen 'Portal' Bartsch.  I don't really know.  I was done with wrestling.  I was living a life where my body could heal.  But the siren call was keeping me awake at night."


Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?

"I've lived on the road so long that I'm not sure."

What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?

"Push myself to the limits."

What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?

"Those that know me, know that I'm about Wrestling, and not about goals.  The journey is the goal for me."

Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?

"I've only experience of Johnny Rebel from his time in TFWF.  So for now it'll be whichever one is the most truthful and honest."

A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?

"I can't speak for the rest, but for me it's the wonderful weather."

What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?

"I've worked for Ian Monks.  I can work with anybody."

What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?

"I don't quit."

Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?

"Maverick could do good.  If he'd get the stench of VWF off of him."

If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?

"Whoever the bosses put me against."

If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?

"I'm a wrestler.  I wrestle.  I don't care if you love me or hate me, I do what is required."

[Noah Walsh]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?

My name is Noah Walsh. I've been in the business for about two decades now... Hell, that's a lie. I've actually spent more time out of the business, and at the bottom of a bottle, than I have in the business in the last twenty years. As far as what lead me here? As a Seattle-bred wrestler, trying to get back into it, I guess this was really my only option, wasn't it?

Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?

Nah, not at all. I'm already here. I've lived here most of my life. This where all my pains are, my loves, my desires, and my ambitions. If I can't make it here, I don't think I'll be able to make it anywhere."

What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?

"Honestly? I hope to show the world that I'm not washed up. I hope to show my ex-wife that I have what it takes. I want to show whatever fans I've ever had, or that I still have, that there is a reason for them to cheer for me. I want to show... Whoever is out there... That they should not give up on me. I have the pride of a lion, and I'm going to make sure that comes through inside of the ring. Does that mean championship belts? Does that mean wins? I'm not sure."

What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?

"Just like before. To prove I have what it takes. To prove I've beaten my past."

Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?

"They both seem like really good guys, in their own ways. I met with them when I signed my contract to go over the small details, and honestly, they seem decent."

A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?

"A new start? That's what it is for me. I hear of these people coming from eWo, I hear of these people coming from APW, both huge, global promotions that have shuttered. I think PURE gives them the chance to start again. Tabula Rasa."

What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?

"To not be a fuck up."

What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?

"Every day, I'm thankful that I'm still alive. I may not have everything I want, but that's one thing that I do have. Sure, I had delusions of all of these other things in my career, but nothing substantial. This is where my career really begins."

Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?

"Ah man, I have no idea, honestly. There's tons of talent here."

If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?

"Anyone is fine with me."

If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?

"I'd like to say, whatever it is you've heard about me... That's a long time ago. Things are new here. I'm a different person. I'm not going to squander this opportunity away. Your support, your passion, those are the things that are going to motivate me to step into the ring and compete at the highest level possible. Without all of you I, and the rest of the wrestling world, are nothing. Thank you."

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?

"I'm Chris Madison, and I'm a competition junkie! I've been wrestling professionally since 2000. I've made lasting impressions in every company I have ever worked for. in 2007 I left the United States and brought my talents to the land of the rising sun, searching for competition. Back in May I resurfaced in APW and since then it's been business as usual. With APW closing it's doors I have to come to PURE Wrestling to pick up where I left off!"

"The comfort of a steady paycheck."

"Everywhere I go, I get underestimated. Hell look at me...Passing me in the street you'd think I'm just a regular guy. I don't have some hulking physique. I look more like a laid back surfer most of the time than anything else. But I love being underestimated. I love it when people tell me I can't accomplish something. It pushes me to prove them wrong. PURE will be no different. Everyone has alpha personalities in this industry. They all think they're the next great one. I love knocking them back to reality..."

"I've won countless World Championships, I've been the top guy in tons of promotions. Every single title means just as much as the last one.

Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?
Nah! 

What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?
I plan to elevate this promotion into a global phenomenon, all while pushing my brand. Therefore everyone gets to eat off the plate, that I'm cooking up.

If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?
I would most definitively want to lock-up with Ash or Chris Madison, now I probably would've said both but they haven't cut the check yet.

If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling? 
Welcome everybody to PURE Wrestling and I am 'The Main Attraction'.

[Envi]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?
Aubrey J. Parker. What didn't lead to this? When Action Packed Wrestling closed on October 31st, I was content with spending the rest of the year in self-imposed exile, but this place was just too shiny.




Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?
Yikes, no. I have properties on both coasts-- I don't think I'm looking for a third residence quite yet. We'll have to see how things are looking months from now.




What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?
To quickly establish myself as *the* main event, if not the whole show.




What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?
 I'm here to be the best, once again. Before I was abruptly unemployed, that's exactly what I was... If I have to work my way back to that, so be it, but it will be done. In style.




Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?
Johnny Rebel has never had a nice word to say to me, and I'm still waiting for my one-on-one. But it's no secret that I'm very close with Mr. Callahan. He's one of the few true friends I have in the business.




A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?
It's run by very capable people who know what the people want. It's gonna be a phenom in its own right. I want all up in it!

Don't trust shady bitches and take no days off. AAAAAAAND... it's only cheating if the crowd boos!




What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?
Winning the APW Test for the Best tournament and going onto become the final Undisputed Champion.




Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?
Bailey, Hopkins, Madison... *cringe*... Ash... 




If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?
You know who... and you know who you are. It doesn't matter why.




If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling? The only promise I can make is that you're always going to be entertained. Whether you're with me or against me-- I'll make you care. I promise. You'll care.

[Diamond Legend]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?

I'm better than you. That's who I am?


Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?

Fuck No. With these boring dumb fucks of citizens? It's nothing awesome about Seattle. Luckily for them every Monday night they get to see this Extraordinaire in the ring. Other than that Seattle can always kiss a pubic.


What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?

To be Tele-F'n-Vision, Duh. What else? Nobody can work the cameras like I can here. Nobody else is as stunning as me. Look at them. They're all monotonous. A bunch of Dwurbs.


What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?

Maybe screw Aubrey J Parker once. I think she's cute. Oh, long term goals. Build a legacy of course. Be able to showcase these talents that I've been blessed with. Kick ass, duh, and show that I have what it takes.


Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?

If one of them said I'll give you three million dollars to play me in a thumb wrestling match I'll tell them to go fuck themselves. I have always wanted to step in the ring with Johnny Rebel. That would be nice. Micheal Challahan looks like the biggest dwurb anyway. Who cares about those guys?


A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?

Finally, a good question. Aubrey J. Parker, only because she's cute. Anthony Bailey sucks, uhhhh, hmmmm, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, oh I got it. I got it. Me of course.


What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?

Nothing, just that I'll always be better looking than everyone.


What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?

I've been a three time sVo show M.V.P in just my first three matches there before they closed, but really continuing to be me and not being a basic superstar.


Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?

Aubrey J. Parker


If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?

Johnny Rebel...hell yeah, Never liked the guy, never will.


If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?

That I'm bring authentic wrestling to that ring every Monday night, and that they could kiss my ass, Scope their mouth and kiss my ass again. Who gives two fucks about fans? You? Ah, you're a dwurb. Fuck Off.

[joe]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?
I'm Joe. I'm used to travelling around, had another gig but got the urge to move along. Found out there was work out here, figured I could do with a new stomping ground.


Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?
Already did. Well, still trying to find a place to stay aside from my car...


What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?
Any time you get into a new territory, it's important to see where you stand. As this place is all new, the hierarchy is yet to be established. My goal is probably a lot like everyone else's, aim for the top. A month is good amount of, no matter where you go, to show what kind of person you are. I'm anything but a pushover, I need to show that right out of the gate.  

What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?
Prove I'm the kind of work horse worth keeping around. Give everyone I face a fight they don't forget. 

Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?
Don't know.

A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?
Just like the gold rush, people heading west for the opportunity of staking a claim. In this case the gold is on a belt. 

What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?
Show up, hit hard.

What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?
I held the T.V. Title at North Atlantic Wrestling. 

Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?
I don't really know anyone else here but I hear you guys have signed some kind of Kung Fu master, sounds like someone worth watching out for. 

If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?
I've got no preference, I'm not too fond of the idea that I might have to beat up on women at some point though. 

If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?
Every time I step in that ring, you can bet on the fact that I won't give anything less than my best. I'll gladly risk life and limb, be it mine or my opponent's, to make sure I deliver for the fans.

[Dennis Driver]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?
I'm Dennis Driver. Independent wrestler from New England, just had my debut a couple months ago. Been going from place to place, I work a rinky-dink match in a rinky-dink VFW hall in Worcester and the next week, some guy from Seattle's calling my cell and asking me when I'm available. Small world, right? They found me on Youtube. The video quality made it look like some weird foreign war, but I was on fire that night. Couldn't turn the money down, plus I haven't really been out of the Northeast my whole life. Time for a change. See what happens.


Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?
Got some Craigslist roommates already, I think they're all communists or something? It's a good setup though: they're less weird than I thought, they're all 420-friendly and the neighborhood doesn't totally suck. I'm pleasantly surprised with my Craigslist experience so far.


What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?
Wrestlers aren't really fun people, so if I can find like two or three who don't totally suck to be around I'll be happy. Besides that: relax, get to know the area a bit. Check out the bar scene, go to punk shows when I can. Seattle has a pretty high concentration of sexy hipster chicks, I'll just have to tell them I wasn't a business major. Of course I'd also like to win a couple matches too.


What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?
Get attractive people to wear t-shirts with my face on them in public.


Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?
I don't know either one of them as people, so I guess I'll go with whichever one is the sick Youtube talent scout.


A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?
Decent money, fresh start, new place. Of course people are different but that's probably most of it for everybody.


What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?
No one drug tests in wrestling, go hog wild. 


What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?
Someone has to be the - and let me take a deep breath here - Constitution State Championship Wrestling Cruiserweight Champion! Say that son of a bitch ten times fast! No, really, that is the only title I've ever won in my life. Not bad for three months in, though.


Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?
I don't have any history with these kids, I've hardly met any of them past shaking hands and Facebook stalking. That Maverick guy sounds pretty crazy - you know, sometimes it's hard to stop crazy.


If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?
If I'm playing the percentages, I'd definitely be able to beat the crap out of a referee.


If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?
One of my old hockey coaches used to tell us every practice that hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard. He was wrong. Bro, I haven't worked hard since the nineties.

[pete]

Who are you and what led to your signing a contract with PURE?
Not that it's any of your goddamn business, but I've always wanted to wrestle and you people were taking applications, so yeah. Plus my shrink said it's good for letting off steam or whatever.


Will you be relocating to the Seattle area now that you've signed a contract?
Well, duh. Unless you think driving up from New York every week is an option. Idiot.


What are your goals for the next 30 days in relation to PURE Wrestling?
Beating up some people. Making people stop making fun of me.


What is your long-term goal in regards to PURE?
Respect. Pure and simple. I'm tired of being the butt of every goddamn joke.


Which of PURE's head honchos, Michael Callahan or Johnny Rebel, do you feel more loyalty towards, if either?
Man, I've been here two weeks. I don't know anybody. Also I don't like people.


A number of wrestlers have signed with PURE in just the first 24 hours of the company offering contracts. What do you think the appeal of this new Northwestern promotion is?
I dunno, man...Kurt Cobain?


What have you learned from appearing in other promotions that you think will best serve you now that you've signed a contract with PURE?
That everyone's an asshole and not to trust anyone. Except maybe Dr. Everhardt. She's not completely horrible.


What has been your single greatest career success before coming here to PURE?
Success? Me? You sure are a funny guy, asshat.


Who, besides yourself, has signed with PURE that you think is poised for great success here?
Man, I dunno. I told you, I don't like people.


If it was up to you, who would you like to face first/next here in PURE Wrestling, and why?
Uh, let's see...EVERYONE who's ever made fun of me. Everyone who sings that STUPID SONG whenever I show up. Other than that, I'm easy, bro.


If you could speak to the PURE Wrestling fans directly, and this may be your first opportunity to do so, what is it they should know about you and what you plan on bringing to the table here in PURE Wrestling?
STOP. SINGING. THAT FUCKING. SONG. Shut the fuck up and leave me the hell alone! That's it.
