AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH INTERNATIONAL WRESTLING STAR- VAMPIRO. The ICP/VAMPIRO reunion...





HODGE- VAMP! How’ve you been man? Last time we talked (June) you had all kinds of big happenings around the corner. Didn’t you suffer some kind of serious leg injury right after we talked man? How’d the injury happen?

VAMPIRO- Yes I did. I was about to get a mega fucking break in Japan, and I was training for a match I had coming up with a rising star for NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING. Some dude who was at the Olympics and whatever else. While I was training, I had a freak accident and broke my leg. I had an operation where they put 13 screws in my leg and a 9 inch metal plate, but I kept training and I was back in the ring 7 weeks later and I am rocking now.





HODGE- In the spring of this year you mentioned to me that you’d patched things up with your long time homies ICP. Weren’t you even supposed to make your big return at the GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS 2004?

VAMPIRO- yeah we talked finally and everything is very cool. Just shit happens, but if you have faith it all works out in the end. I think I was in PUERTO RICO while the gathering was going on.

HODGE- I’ve seen some dope screen shots of the upcoming Backyard Wrestling 2 video game. I noticed you were in the game pics. Are you gonna be a regular roster character or a hidden character like on WCW Backstage Assault?

VAMPIRO- I am a main bastard, and I have been told that I kick major ass.

HODGE- With the other Goth/Vampire wrestler- GANGREL’s recent return to the WWE, do you suppose McMahon might be flirting with the idea of bringing you in for a gothic angle with GANGREL in the near future?

VAMPIRO- Who knows. It is totally a different thing. Could be cool. Would be fun. Who knows what the fuck those guys are doing? I don't really care though. WCW tried so hard to make me a monster ,when the whole Vampiro thing is a bout death ,sex ,and rock and roll, the devil, good bad and the ugly, vampires and the key to fear. They don't get I, but they could if they let me tell them how to do it. I am open to anything, but I am cool down here.

HODGE- In our past big interviews we’ve covered nearly all the questions involving your past WCW stay. However, I’ve always wondered about the lil scenarios you did with Bobby The Brain Hennan. I’m referring to all the times before or during your matches where you would associate with or give props to Hennan. Was that something Mgmt wanted you to do for a future angle or are you just a fan of Hennan’s?

VAMPIRO- It was outta respect. Hogan gets so much attention being old school, and its true, but "The Brain" was before Hogan. I grew up watching him

HODGE- You had a significant stint with the NWA/TNA late last year. In one of our interviews you mentioned that TNA was thinking of bringing you back in the spring for a program. What happened with your NWA/TNA appearances man?

VAMPIRO- Well, when I shot my mouth off I lost my job, plus I was not excited a fucking bit with what they were doing with me. Too much politics. But I would work with Terry Taylor in a heart beat, anywhere, any time. And Dutch Mantel is awesome also. Plus believe it or not, Jeff is actually cool too.

HODGE- Alright here’s a question on a lot of Juggalos minds. Since shit got screwed up and we couldn’t see your return at this past GATHERING, when will Juggalos see your return to the states man?

VAMPIRO- Ok, here is what's up. Me and NOSAWA are very good friends and he is a huge ICP fan, the only juggalo in Japan as a matter of fact. Wrestling is a shitty business. Unless you rock the boat you ain't getting anywhere. So we were talking, that since we are both involved with ICP, and he wants me and MUTA to reform the Dark Carnival TAG TEAM, I said fuck that lets me and you do it!!!!!!! He grabbed his dick and rubbed out a nut right there he was so excited. Well, that was kind of nasty but hey, you do what you gotta do right? So I called VIOLENT J and told him my idea. He was cool about it and said go for it! So the team is THE DARK CARNIVAL, OR I.C.P.D.C since every one chants ICP it makes the most sense. Plus we will be using ICP music and have matching fresh outfits and the face paint is back on. We will be taking this all over the world so its ultra fucking devastating right now! Everywhere we go, the Juggalo nation will be represented!

HODGE- It seemed like the indy fed MLW was really starting to catch on to your popularity in the spring of 2004. They even started to sell VAMPIRO SHIRTS, and your shoot video on their online store. They still have a website up that hints that the company is still alive and will return. What’s the deal with them man? Are they still in business? If they do make another big run in the states, will you be working the shows again?

VAMPIRO- Stay tuned on that one.

HODGE- Any other big news for us man?

VAMPIRO- The big one, and its not about my pee pee. I will be going out on the road at selected dates with ICP for the "HELLS PIT TOUR"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be on stage, in full I.C.P.D.C gear, paint, everything. Stage divin, kicking the shit outta faygos, puttin people through tables, all that shit! Plus there will be limited edition masks that we will be wearing on sale, and they will be signed. If you get one and want a photo with your fucking head getting busted, well that will be no problem. Just ask!

HODGE- Well, it's great hearing from you homie. I can’t wait to see you back in the states! Anything you wanna ad for your fans reading this?

VAMPIRO- I shaved my head, no more dreads till next year. So don't look at me like who the fuck????? Plus, I am single now…so hook me up!! And thanks for not forgetting me! See ya in the PIT!!!!!!!!!!
