As a fan of the original ECW, I recently had the pleasure to sit down with one of the stars of the original ECW, Danny Doring. Doring, and his partner Roadkill, were the last team to hold the ECW World Tag Team titles. Doring also wrestled briefly in the WWE's ECW brand before being released in November of last year. Doring now wrestles on for several indy promotions, including MCW (Maryland Championship Wrestling) and NWA Upstate. This interview took place November 24th after Doring wrestled on NWA Upstate's Holiday Hangover show.
1. What made you decide to become a pro wrestler?
Childhood dream. You get up one day. You finally find a means, you find a school, make the sacrifices, you go forward. You go to the school, you kick ass and you make it baby. You don't take for an answer. You don't knock on the door, you knock it down.
2. What wrestlers if any influenced you to become a pro wrestler?
Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase. Randy Savage because I grew up watching Randy Savage. Ted DiBiase because I got to know him and thought he was an awesome guy. I really didn't appreciate him until later on in my life, but I thought he was one of the greatest heels I'd ever seen.
3. What's the best part of a wrestling match for you?
I would normally say when the crowd is into it and loving what I'm doing. But honestly I think it's when I really turn a crowd over to hate my guts. I think there's something special in that.

During his tour of Germany last weekend the King Of Old School Steve Corino has suffered from a moderate concussion and will NOT be able to attend the PWA event this Friday night. It's simply not safe for him to fly or compete with head trauma.
On behalf of Steve Corino who is very upset and disappointed that he wont be coming to Australia this weekend, PWA would also like to apologise for this unfortunate turn of events.
PWA is still holding the THE STEVE CORINO COMMEMORATIVE CUP, but instead of competing himself, Steve Corino is donating the Cup that has been named in his honour, and is hopeful to come out to Australia to fight the eventual victor.
Here at PWA we are big on respect and as a sign of respect to you, the fans, we would still like to make it worth your while to attend. We also believe that by forwarding this on as soon as we found out was the least we could do.
As has been reported this is Graham 'Fozzy' Youngs retirement show and we would like you to help make it a special night for him.
Because of recent events Ryan Eagles (PWA Heavyweight and PWA National Champion) has agreed to put BOTH BELTS ON THE LINE at the Nov 30th show, which means the tournament will now be for both the SCC cup AND the two heavyweight belts.
Steve's replacement has been decided in what we thought was the most fair way possible, by putting all PWA wrestlers names from around the country into a draw that will be announded at the start of the show.
There will be a HUGE end of year raffle that all audience members will automatically be entered into, which will include winning an all paid for date with Sean O'shea or Jessie McKay!!!
Also have a chance to see your next Wrestling Diva ENVY...
So be there to catch all the action on Friday Night, 7pm, Liverpool Masonic Centre, NSW. For info go to http://www.pwaelite.com and for bookings call 0417 700 435
