*Jim Russ is seated across a table from Stank "Charlie Rose Style" in OOWF studios for OOWF.com.*
JR - Mr. Mann thank you for taking the time to join us.
Stank - Sure.
JR - You've been uncharacteristically quiet since Hell On Earth a few weeks back. Are there any thoughts you would like to share now on the matter?
Stank - On what matter?
JR - Well there have been a number of developments since Hell On Earth. Your group for example, the Saints of Sinners, seem to be somewhat in disarray with two of your key members leaving to form their own group the Suicide Kings. You lost in a very competitive match against Firewoman whom you are somewhat close to. You are apparently competing in the Onslaught division where your friend and ally's daughter is the reigning champion. Your brother is the new-
Stank - You're going to ask me all the questions at once, JR?
JR - No I...
Stank - What do you want to know first?
JR - I suppose we can start with your loss to Firewoman.
Stank - What about it?
JR - How do you suppose you will bounce back?
*Stank scoffs before answering.*
Stank - Well Jim I suppose I'll win the Onslaught Title for starters.
JR - Really?
Stank - You doubt me? Don't answer that. Of course you do. I know you're not the only one... but all of you seem to be forgetting something. I'm a Grand Slam Champion, the single longest reigning Intercontinental, and World Champion, and I've won more tag team titles than any other, not named Chad Madison, or Zane Myers, who have exactly the same number I do. That's 10, JR... Ten. You don't get to have that kind of resume without knowing SOMETHING about how to wrestle. More importantly... knowing something about how to WIN. When it comes to championships I want... I win them. The Onslaught Title is no different.
JR - Some would say it doesn't fit your... "style".
Stank - And I would say to those fools that they are fucking dumbshits who don't pay attention. My brother owned that division and people think HE is a vicious type.. Shit.. I'll do just fine... I adapt. My "style" is whatever is called for. Ask Firewoman. She wanted to wrestle me in an Onslaught rules match at Hell On Earth. I may have come up short... but I'm certain she got more than she ever thought she would get from me. It wasn't no cake walk. If any of the others in the Onslaught division think I'm a joke... like say... Tommy fucking Wilder...? They are going to learn a very hard lesson. Fuckers still bleed under Onslaught Rules. Bones still get broken. I ain't got no problem shaking your hand afterward.
JR - Since you brought her up you mind if I ask how things are between you and Firewoman?
Stank - I do mind... but I'll answer your question anyway. She beat me. There was a moment or two there where I knew... just knew I had her beat... but she struggled through and she won. I ain't gonna lie... it's a bitter pill to swallow. If I had to lose such a high profile match I'd rather it be to a member of The Five than someone less than.
JR - Have the two of you spoken since.
Stank - We went out to her place to have a drink. I may have said one or two words to her. No we haven't talked in depth about it and quite frankly there isn't much I have to say.
JR - Are you getting along?
Stank - Why do you care?
JR - I think the OOWF universe wants to know.
Stank - Well you and they can go fuck themselves. Next question.
JR - Alright how surprised were you to find out Miranda was LD Williams daughter?
Stank - Very.
JR - Now that you know is there any animosity?
Stank - With LD?
JR - With his daughter?
Stank - Look I've heard her allude to there being some hard feelings on my part toward her, but let me assure her and anyone watching. I could care less. My declaration of intent on taking the Onslaught Championship has nothing to do with the one currently holding it. It could be LD, or Moose and I would still go for it. I don't hate Miranda. I never did. Anything I ever did to Miranda was only to get to Lisa. They may want me to hate her, but that kind of energy ain't called for when it comes to her. That's not to say I'm going to treat her any different than I would any other opponent. LD's daughter or not she steps into a ring with me and she gets an ass whoopin like any other. I don't think LD would have it any other way... and since she is a Williams I don't think she would have it any other way either. So Miranda know this... I don't need to hate you to beat you. BTW she knew exactly who I was when she fought me so if anyone were to be mad between the two of us it should be me.
JR - But you're not.
Stank - No. Not in the least.
JR - Switching gears then the Saints of Sinners.
Stank - Are just fine. We're still doing what we set out to do.
JR - What do you think of Christian Carter and Jeremy Punswick leaving to form their own group?
Stank - First I'm not so sure Jeremy Punswick has joined the Suicide Kings so his status is still somewhat up in the air. As for Carter... though I'm disappointed by some of his rhetoric, his lowering himself to suggest, like the other morons who should know better, that LD and I are "Lackeys", and his annoying constant mispronunciation of my name calling me "SkanK", the fact that Carter left us to form his own group is fine by me. It was inevitable really. And he's handling it like a man. He saw an opportunity and he took. He didn't bitch and moan about his place with the Saints. He didn't turn against us. He didn't ask us why we didn't do more to elevate him because he realized that he had been elevated and had done all he could with us. He realized it was time to move on and just did it. I respect that, as I'm sure the rest of us who are still in the Saints do.
JR - On the question of you being a lackey...
Stank - Don't go there, Jim.
JR - No, no... it's just most of us are used to seeing you being a leader.
Stank - Bullshit.
JR - I submit it's not.
Stank - That kind of thinking implies that the "most of us" you are referring to respect me.
JR - Well.. you've done... despicable...
*Stank laughs*
JR - ... despicable acts at the behest of Moosehe-
Stank - NO! Not at the "BEHEST" of Moose... with... WITH him, idiot. And who's to say despicable? Why is it if I do something it's despicable, but if one of those whom the sheep baaaa for does it it's what... self defense? Noble? Justice? Get the fuck out of here with that shit JR. You have a brain don't you? Let's look at your tag team champions Salvation. I bet you think they're despicable... Really? It wasn't that long ago they were saving the OOWF from the likes of us in the Saints of Sinners... now... what? Despicable, huh? Stan Fulton and Junichiro Muyo are the same people they have always been. I ain't saying we're allies but good on them for doing what they had to in order to become the World Tag Team Champions. If that means they get booed who the fuck cares... they're champions. Cheered, Booed it's all the fucking same. It's just noise. My only issue with them is that now they think they are going to out Saint the Saints. Yeah... good luck with that. I know Juni was an original Saint... but shit didn't get real until he washed out and LD and I came aboard... so bring that shit. The fire was started by us and you two are late to the party.
JR - So the Saints of Sinners aren't done?
Stank - Not by a long shot.
Be sure to check out next week, part two of Jim Russ' interview with Stank, a retrospective on the future Hall of Famer's career, and further discussion on Stank's future with the OOWF. Plus some of his favorite matches and a look into his personal life.
