Hi Curt/Brian, One thing that is well known about yourself is your love of pro wrestling action figures. Amassing a large collection was no doubt a difficult feat. As a life long fan of professional wrestling, you got to truly live out a dream the day Jakks Pacific released the first of many Curt Hawkins action figures. When you're older, you'll be able to hold in your hands almost little statues devoted to different parts of your career. Unfortunately for some, they only get to experience having an action figure made once (Colin Delaney immediately springs to mind) and don't get to see much of an evolution. For these talents, it's an absolute shame. Do you feel that having only two action figures through his career (black vest with hat and the white vest with hat variant) hindered Savio Vega or was his career destined to not remain intact like the letter "s" out of stand-up comedian Rich Vos's mouth following his loss to Mabel at King of the Ring 1995?

I always wished we got a BCA of Savio in his babyface attire (red shirt) but it wasn't meant to be. I think wrestlers only getting 1 figure makes me cherish them more like ECW's Steve Corino, Chris Candido, Jerry Lynn, etc...

I love that Maffew makes a cameo in a Hawkins AMA.

u/Maffewgregg Jul 17 '15

It's better when Hawkins makes a cameo in Botchamania.

I'M SORRY HAWKINS, I LOVED YOUR BOLA MATCH WITH AJ STYLES. I LOVED EDITING IT EVEN MORE.

I just wanna say I love your Mets themed gear and your 7 line skull tights in WWE were LEGIT.

Couldn't resist and tried to make you on Xbox one thought you'd like to see.

Does your elbow really have heat-seeking capabilities?

Do you regret that whole "tweeting Mark Henry after you got fired thing?"

u/BrianMyers Jul 17 '15

No, it was what it was

Hello, thanks for being here for this, huge fan of your work, hope to see you in PWG again soon! My question is about your latter part of your WWE run, specifically the time spent in NXT, what was that time like for you and how was it appearing in NXT even just for a stint? Thanks again, keep killing the indie scene!

u/BrianMyers Jul 17 '15

I really dug it. Getting to work Generico & Neville was very cool and I was glad to do it. I wish I had more time there or got to do more significant stuff though kinda like Tyson Kidd got to.

Myers, I love you, but you seem confused. Generico is a Mexican luchador. You wrestled Sami Zayn, who is clearly not mexican.
