Question: My friends and I have been talking. We feel you are biased towards
"face" wrestlers. Do we have a reason to believe in our assumptions?
- Derrick, San Diego
Pump: I wouldn't say that is necessarily true, even though I happen to be friendly with some of the most popular superstars. I suggest you don't read into my columns so closely... I write about what is on my mind that particular week.
Question: Great column. What do you think of the current feud between Sklar
and Justus?
- Tom, Pittsburgh
Pump: I have to say, I am not totally in favour of Justus winning the belt. Lately, he has had an excess of mic time and some insiders feel the format of his speeches are getting old. Sklar is in my opinion the greatest champion ever, and should hold onto the belt for a little while longer. As for Justus, I am pretty close to holding him in contempt of court.
Question: Where does your name originate from and what does the J. stand
for?
- Alex, Ottawa
Pump: Some secrets aren't worth divulging just yet but I can tell you this: My last name is an offset of an elementary school joke between friends.
Question: Pump, get a life!!! Hey Stack is a "jobroney" how can you so
strongly support him?
- Marcus, Portland
Pump: Would you like some cheese with your whine?
Question: What are your thoughts on the recent firing of "The Lion"?
- Peter, Vancouver
Pump: The firing took place, in my opinion, on the greatest edition of Madness ever!!! As for the decision to quit... I don't blame him. There is currently more politics in the WCFC than in Mike Harris' campaign office.
Question: Hey Pump, great column!! Armon Williams now has a dog. Do you
think anyone else in the WCFC should acquire a mascot?
- David, Halifax
Pump: Well, its interesting that you ask. I have always thought that the Zoo Crew were a bunch of humourous monkeys!!! So hey, why not give them one. Perhaps, a chimp may be able to occupy Hunk of Dump's time. By the way, David, judging from your question, I can tell you don't have too much time on your hands.
Question: Pump, everyone wants to know, who is your favourite wrestler?
- Allan, Kansas City
Pump: I try not to play favourites, Allan, but I can tell you this... (and here is a hint) somewhere out there... my grade 6 buddy is deserving of a medal.
Question: Hi, Pump. You seem cute. Do you have a girlfriend?
- Jill, Toronto
Pump: Remind me to fire the guy who posts these questions.
Question: Do you attend WCFC events?
- Patrick, Houston
Pump: Very interesting question, Patrick. Most people wonder this as well. All I can say is that I am always somewhere in the building and finding me isn't very hard. I have a look that is hard to miss...
Question: Hi, Mr. Pump, I am a dedicated WCFC fan. What are your predictions
regarding the Dan Crank/Big Mama feud?
- Rick, Montreal
Pump: I have a slight hunch that Dan Crank will need to see an eye doctor following Wrestlefest.
Question: Most of my friends feel a Thursday show would put the WCFC over
the top, what do you think?
- Daniel, Milwaukee
Pump: What do I think? Last time I checked my clock, Ben and Elisha's day did not consist of 55 hours. (That is a subtle hint to anyone who wants them to do a Thursday show)
