A Harold interview:
Harold: Today I am joined by the one and only.....Radiant. I just want to thank you for doing this, I know right now you’re busy with the upcoming ppv and family issues as well.
Radiant: Yes, yes.
Harold: You know we've known each other a long time and in all that time I can’t believe we never got around to doing an interview. So first question that all the readers and fans want to know is Why have you returned? And why? This I am sure will lead to more questions but let’s start off with the big ones.
Radiant: Returning was something that had always been in the back of my head. I've had several stints before hand, but I was not able to conjure any sort of long stay and that has always bothered me. With my current situation outside of wrestling in an absolute whirlwind right now, I needed some sort of escape or pressure release. I needed to able to take my mind off of everything once and awhile otherwise I felt as if I wouldn't be able to maintain composure for myself and a loved one.
Radiant: And I suppose a little bit had to do with Shadow himself begging that I comeback for just a little while. The state of SFT is in turmoil and I guess it's possible that someone like me could provide a helpful spark of interest.
Harold: But some would say what for? You've done it all. You’re in the SFT hall of fame, you are a legend. What else does Radiant need to prove?
Radiant: I don't need to prove anything, but I needed to do this or for all I know I would have taken my life by now. Yes, I've won all the titles and I've dethroned the huge names, but as it has always been and will continue to be like . . . I don't care. No matter what people think of my return, I don't care because I'm only doing it for me. If others benefit from it then good for them, but I wouldn't notice.
Radiant: I need to fight to stay alive as I see it.
Harold: Interesting, well here’s a question I hardly ask anyone. You've always been a bit of an enigma, so if you could summarize yourself and or your style, what would it be in 2 sentences or less?
Radiant: I'd say misunderstood as obvious as it may seem, but it's the full on truth whether others can see it in all it's actuality or not. I grew up rough, but emotional and very sensitive. I'm just trying to correct my life after years of failures and mishandling my life.
Radiant: With all that has happened and has gone wrong I can still sense some hope. But I fear I'm still quite far off from attaining everything I want in life.
Harold: And your answer now is just as complicated as you are and always have been. But now let’s talk history. Give us a rundown of your history. Where you got started and how long you’ve been doing this?
Radiant: Well, before I joined the SFT brand in early 2002 I began a couple years before that in a few other places, most noticeably in ICW (Insane Combat Wrestling) which was run by the Hall of Fame duo Triple X and Eliminator. There I developed and honed myself to a high level until they closed the place and I transferred over to SFT permanently where they were already established. I meandered for about a year in their shadow learning the insides and outsides of the business before identifying myself as a major contributor to the SFT name.
Radiant: I credit a lot of what I've done and enjoyed in SFT to them from the time I started all the way to the present time.
Radiant: Championships, accolades, the storylines that I have gained access to all stem from the early days of The Foundation.
Harold: Nice. Well lets talk something entire different. What three wrestlers past or present from any fed would you like to wrestle and why?
Radiant: From a sort of "grudge" stand point I suppose I would like to face my former tag team partner Cage. We have a lot of history together, mostly as friends, but towards the end of our tenure things got bitter and heated and I would not mind facing him as some sort of ending to our troubles.
Radiant: Secondly.
You'd expect me to say Shadow like most do, but I believe I had my opportunity and chose to throw it away. He's not someone I feel I have to prove anything to. But I guess somebody he is familiar with like Glenn Owen would fancy my interest as I have never faced off with him before. One for the ages I guess you could say.
Radiant: And lastly.
I'll throw out an important name from my past, Allisa O'Toole. She was apart of the first significant match I ever had and as a result from that match I ended up breaking her arm. I feel I at least owe it to her to have a shot at returning the favor.
