Rex Rottwyler: This is Rex Rottwyler with another XWA Shoot Interview. Fans, today we have our esteemed President of the XWA, Master Tokyo. Sir, welcome to the show.

Prez Tokyo: Kanitchiwa Rex. I got plenty things to do, so let's hurry it up, ok?

Rex Rottwyler: Okay your excellency. So how did you first break in the business?

Prez Tokyo: Well I first broke into the business about a year ago, when I met up with Kevin O'Leary in Chicago. He told me that the business was good and I could make some money if I wanted to. So I chose the business. As You know, I already had some other businesses so joining another business would be good. I am and entrepenour you know.

Rex Rottwyler: When did you get your first big break?

Prez Tokyo: Well, the first big break came about September of last year when Daniel Carevic, President of the the WWA, asked me to become the Commissioner of his fed. He knew me for about 4 months in his WWA, so he trusted Tokyo. I made a good commish and it lasted until December. That is when the WWA/GCW closed!!

Rex Rottwyler: Is Master Tokyo a gimmick or a reality?

Prez Tokyo: Well my original name is Henry-Xiong Lee Cheng, but when I came over here I had it changed to Henry Tokyo. It is original. I am the only man with the last name of Tokyo.

Rex Rottwyler: How and when did the relationship between the Pacific Pain started?

Prez Tokyo: Well this is a long story. The first man I met was Australian Wave. We have known each other about 10 years or so. I was in my prime and he was becoming a rookie. I was in Australia on a business trip for my company and I went to a rugby match. Bobby Thompson(Aussie Wave) needed an agent, so I scouted his talents, and asked him if he wanted to go into business with Osaka Inc. the talent scouts of Japan. The next week he hurt his knee in a match, so he retired and we decided to open up a business. I invested in a gym, and me and him ran it in Japan for about 3 years. Then we went our separate ways. I came to America and he went to Europe. We talked maybe 5 times after until I came back to Japan about 2 years ago. About 4 years ago I met Samoan Thunder in a Strong man tournament and he needed a business advisor. Safu Ulili(Samoan Thunder) and I have known each other since and he is my bodyguard and lives with his wife and son in my mansion in Hawaii. Now, Himalayn Tusk I met 2 years ago in an All-Fight India match. Thunder entered and faced Tusk in the final. Only time they ever fought. This was the longest anyone had ever gone with Samoan Thunder. They bloodied each other for 2 hours before both men decided that they were equally tough and shook hands. I told Viziri Kozlo(Himalayan Tusk) of an offer and he also lives in Hawaii and has an apartment in Chicago. He is single and looking. Finally Swiss Alps I met ironically when I remet up with Aussie Wave. I was in Italy during a European Arm Wrestling Tournament, for the championship. Seth Heinrich(Swiss Alps) had made it to the final and I spotted Aussie Wave in the crowd. Swiss Alps won eventually making that his 4th straight, and I went over to Aussie Wave and he intoduced Alps to me. Alps I gave a contract and relocated him to New Zealand when he got married to a Hawaiian Women. Next Question.

Rex Rottwyler: What promotions did you first start with?

Prez Tokyo: Originally, the WWA (Winnipeg Wrestling Association). I showed up with the Pacific Pain and we began a rage through the comapny until it became the GCW (Global Championship Wrestling). That is when I became a commissioner and everything started looking up.

Rex Rottwyler: How was your relationship between Daniel Carevic?

Prez Tokyo: Well, Like I said it was a very good relationship. When I came in, the WWA/GCW money went up, because of the talent that I presented to that fed. Income was up, business was booming. DC was grateful for that. I then offered my services to him, and he made me commissioner. I was strict and the fed was run smooth. Then DC and Me went our separate ways. We don't speak much, but we still are acquaintances.

Rex Rottwyler: Did you leave on bad terms with the GCW and WWA?

Prez Tokyo: Well, I really can't answer that. It was a shame that the GCW/WWA had to close down. DC was broke, so he had to go out of business, until he found another investor. I was upset, maybe a little mad that such a great fed was closing and that I was going to lose money I invested in, but I rebounded and as you can see, so did DC.

Rex Rottwyler: Is there still heat between Kevin O'Leary and the Australian Wave?

Prez Tokyo: Well I don't know. Kevin is the owner, and Aussie Wave is my student. Those two will have to answer that question for you, even though Nucleo, oops, I mean Doc was upset when he first found out he had lost his lover. But that's another story.

**Rex and Tokyo both laugh**

Rex Rottwyler: Was Krash a real threat to you backstage when you were the Commissioner in the WWA/GCW?

Prez Tokyo: No, Krash was actually a nice guy. I even got him to come to the XWA, but I guess he felt loyal to DC. Funny Story, one day Krash walks in to a business meeting where it's me, DC and some other high ups and owners of buildings. He walks in wearing Jeans, a hard hat, boots, and white tank top. I just looked at him and laughed. The others were upset, but I knew Krash. He didn't give a shit about what anyone thought. I think DC was a little mad too, but he smiled about it. It was hilarious. One guy asked, "why are you late and what the hell aren't you in a business suit." Krash, smiled and said, "because I don't give two shits of what you think. Its all about Blood, Sweat and Beers!!"

Rex Rottwyler(chuckles): How did you get involved with the UVWF?

Prez Tokyo: Well, I got a phone call from Swiss Alps. He had called and told me he was in some fed, and was doing well. He was keeping me in touch and then he came by my office in Chicago, one morning, unexpectedly, and we caught up. He asked me to come to his match that night and so I did. Then I made a few phone calls, and in a matter of weeks, the whole Pac Pain was involved. It was fun while it lasted.

Rex Rottwyler: Did Swiss Alps ever get upset for putting Truth over as champion?

Prez Tokyo: I think that Swiss Alps was mad, howeva he learned from it. He took it like a man. He was the UVWF Icon and I truly feel, he should've beaten Truth, but thats the way the ball bounces.

Rex Rottwyler: How was your relationship with Julio Diablo?

Prez Tokyo: My relationship with Julio was and is great. I enjoy having lunch with him when we are both in Chicago. He is a funny guy. It is good to have discussions with him about angles and matches and such. I am happy to have him a part of the XWA.

Rex Rottwyler: Did you pressure Diablo into selling the UVWF?

Prez Tokyo: Well, I just gave Julio an offer he couldn't refuse. Thats all I have to say about that.

Rex Rottwyler: How did you get involved with the XWA?

Prez Tokyo: Well, this is a long story. Me and Kevin go way back and he told me he needed a smart man to help him with his company. I said what do I have to give you and how much profit does Henry Make. Kev told me that he owns 65% and I own 35%, and the profit goes the same way. He needed a knowledgeable business man, and a knowledgeable wrestling man. Business is doing well.

Rex Rottwyler: Did you and Kevin put the heat aside away back in the GCW/WWA days?

Prez Tokyo: Yeah, like I said, Kevin and I know each other a long time, and we had some feuds in the past, and now with everything fine, Kevin and I have patched up the past. We are very good friends. I hope it stay like that.

Rex Rottwyler: Is there any sign that the XWA will keep on standing in the near future?

Prez Tokyo: Yes, As long as Kevin and I are here. The XWA lives. Kevin has great heart and will do anything to keep his company. I put in some more cash and I got us involved in sporting events. We sponsored the Indy 500, and next weeks Belmont Stakes. The XWA will continue to prosper as long as Kevin and I are here.
