JR is sitting in a black leather chair and theres a camera drew all set up ready to record the interview that’s about to happen. He starts talking to the producer when the door to the room opens and in walks Steve “The Hammer” Porter and he has a woman with him that JR has never seen before. Hammer walks over to JR how has stood up and Shakes his hand, JR thanks him for taking the time to sit down with him and talk over some of the things that have gone down over the last weeks. JR sits back down on his chair and Hammer and Tina sit down on a black leather couch that matches the chair JR is on, a stage hand bring Hammer, JR and Tina a bottle of water each and then the produce tells JR they rolling and the interview brings.
JR---Hammer, may I call you Steve?
Hammer---Sure JR I don’t mind that, and my dad called me and ask me to say hello and that he will call you later.
JR---Thanks, he was a great wrestle, father and friend to many people, Ben Porter was a great NWA champion and for our fans who don’t remember him was the best technical wrestler the world had ever seen, Steve how much did you learn from him and well all the guys who help bring you up as a young lad when your father was on the road?
Hammer---I leant and forgot more watching them then most will ever know, all the guys back then were so technical sound that you only had to watch them and you couldn’t help but pick up things, I remember once I was 15 and had been getting lessen form my dad, Greg and John Mathews and its was before a show in Texas and they were around 100 fans already in the arena but they just came up to me and tossed me some gear and told me I was going to have a match that night. I was so scared that I almost fainted but I went out there and tagged with my dad against Greg and John and boy did I ever get take to school there threw me about like a doll but I got a sweet DDT on Greg before John hit me with a hard back drop and got the cover for the 3, it was a good match and one I’ll never forget.
JR--- I remember that match I was in the back running all over the place making show that everyone who was ment to be wrestling was ready but when you went out everyone came and watch at the curtain, it was a great match for you at such a young age. Greg never lived that DDT down and I remember they were all very proud of you for that. Now what went threw you mind after you became a double champion at the Rumble when you beat Eclipse in a lastman standing match?
Hammer--- It was a great feeling, a lot of people thing the Hardcore and European titles are for the lower card games but I don’t believe that’s true at the end of the day to be able to call your self a champion let alone a double champion means something, it doesn’t matter what people think the belt means to me to hold a title belt is the greatest thing that a wrestler can do in this bust, yea is not the world title sure but its still a title and if people can’t respect that then they will never be a true champion themselves.
JR---That’s the old school coming threw you there a lot of these kids these days only want the world title and think anything else is just a stepping stone, I wish more people took as much pride in winning and holding there titles as you did. Now after the Rumble you were in a 6man elimination match for the world title and well it looked like you kicked out and like I know you have seen the replay does show you kicking out before the ref counts the three, do you think you should be given a chance to wrestler for the title again as there is a clear error by the ref?
Hammer---I know I will get the shot at the title again but is a sad day when a ref makes such a big mistake like that, ewa should really work there refs hard to get them to see things faster and be able to make the right call at the drop of a hat.
JR---What do you think of ewa’s world champion as it does seem to the outsiders that you have your problems with each other.
Hammer---Yeah we do, Shadow is the kind of man who would screw his best friend over to keep the title and it looks like he has as he and Eclipse are heading into a war with each other and that’s a war I plan on getting involved on and winning.
JR---Eclipse is another man you have crossed paths with and well you had the war at the rumble, how do you feel about him having a world title match when you have beaten him?
