Interview: Shawn Kross
...
My guest is Shawn Kross Thanks for taking the time to do this Interview for Alabama Wrestling!!!
Joe Slaten: How did you get started in the business?Plus who trained you and how long have you been Pro?
Shawn Kross: I started very young.
...
Kross: Well to be honest I have really enjoyed wrestling my trainer "Sensational" Scott Hotshot.He's a nice guy, alot of people think he has an ego problem but he has taught me alot and I really like working with him.
Slaten: Who was your toughest opponent?
Kross: Again it would have to be Scott Hotshot, my trainer.
Slaten: Where all have you wrestled?
Kross: Mostly I have stuck to the promotion that made me, SWA, and still being very young many promotions will not book my age.However I have worked for other promotions such as Power Pro Wrestling and Pro American Wrestling Alliance.
Slaten: Have you wrestled under any other names?
Kross: Nope, Just Shawn Kross... "Sexy" Shawn Kross if you will..
Slaten: What are your thoughts on Pro Wrestling today compared to the Kayfabe period of the 80's?
Kross: Internet has played the key factor in the smart fans of today.Of course dirt sheets exsisted but now they are everywhere, even though everything was Kayfabed in the 80's, I feel that there are still plenty of mark wrestling fans and even those who are not can sit down and enjoy Pro Wrestling without getting involved in the polotics.
Slaten: Who are your influences?
Kross: Well, growing up I think I shared the same feeling as Hulk Hogan was my hero.Him and Jake the Snake Roberts along with Undertaker were my favorites.I also loved to watch Sting and Vader, But I could go on and on with some of the greatest matches in the past, but now that I am in the business guys like Jeff Hardy, and most importantly one of the guys I really look up to and idolize as he has broken the mold and made it big as a very small worker ECW's Tony Mamaluke.
Slaten: If you had the choice where would you go ECW, WCW, or WWF?
Kross: This is a difficult choice to make, I know with all the success right now with WWF it would seem the simple choice.But I have always been a deep WCW fan and I would have to say World Championship Wrestling.
Slaten: How can Promoters or Fans get in touch with you?
Kross: They can visit my official website at ShawnKross.8m.com And can eMail me at SexyShawnKross@aol.com
Slaten: Last but not least what is in the future for Shawn Kross?
Kross: For now Im going to continue to pay my dues here in the Indy's and get my education and hopefully in about 4-5 years I will be in one of the big three!
