Even though I'm late, I'll just come here to say that Adam, you gave me one of the funniest moments of my life.

I was Ring Announcer for one of your matches in Brisbane, Australia, and as I announced you for your entrance, you came and got into my face and started yelling at me while your entrance music was still playing so the audience couldn't hear.

You were saying "YOU ARE A VERY GOOD RING ANNOUNCER, YOU HAVE GOOD TONE AND PACING, KEEP IT UP"

I had to try so hard not to laugh.

So thanks :-)

True story: Chyna once told me I look exactly like Tom Cruise.

Just for everyone's knowledge, Adam did the greatest heel move to my friend at a PWG show. My friend's this little scrawny kid (maybe 15 years old at the time), and Adam comes out with the girl who was his valet in PWG (forget her name). My friend turns to us and says, "hey that girl has cellulite." Mind you this is as Adam is passing in front of us.

Adam then proceeds to look my friend dead in the face. Licks his pointer and middle fingers on his right hand, and proceeds to squeegie my friends glasses with his fingers.

Got a lot of "Ohh, shits" from the crowd and great heat.

Thank you for this Adam, I still lick my fingers and squeegie my friend's glasses in your honor.

Takes a genius to come up with a tactic to get heat like that on the spot.

EDIT: Oh, and a few weeks later, we were helping set up at the NJPW Inoki Dojo for a show they were putting on (my brother and friend were training at the dojo with Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson at the time), and we run into Adam. I thought he was going to knock us out as he was walking up to say hello to us. Sign of a true, great heel.

Working both sides of the camera, which side did you enjoy the most, being a professional wrestler or being the booker?

u/Adam_Pearce Sep 19 '14

Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but there is nothing like performing in front of a live crowd. Doing anything behind the camera can't replicate that feeling.

What was your time at the performance center like? I'm assuming you were a guest trainer, what was that like and what did it entail?

u/Adam_Pearce Sep 19 '14

I'm honored to have been asked to come down to the Performance Center a number of times to train and coach the incredibly talented guys and girls there. At the end of the day, it's probably my biggest achievement in wrestling, and I hope my relationship with WWE continues for a long time.
