1) How is your condition right now?
---I am doing well, recovering from back surgery as best as I can.
2) Who was your favorite wrestler when you was a kid?
---I liked to watch Jake "The Snake" Roberts in the early days of the WWF nationalization.
3) What do you think about first show Dragon Gate in USA??
---The first show was a real success, and the PPV really showed the world what Dragon Gate USA is all about.
4) What about CHIKARA and Dragon Gate partnership??? Can we see some CHIKARA wrestlers in Dragon Gate?
---I think there will be a greater exchange of talent between Dragon Gate USA and CHIKARA in 2010.
5) What do you think about King of Trios 2009?
---It was a huge event, and incredibly expensive, but we were very happy with the finished shows. It really gave us a chance to spotlight all kinds of wrestling styles - lucha libre, puroresu, Lancashire style, etc.
6) What will be if CHIKARA earned a TV-Slot?
---It sure would be nice to make a lot of money and be famous on TV, but that has never been our priority.
7) Nigel McGuiness and Bryan Danielson sign a contract with WWE. What do you think about that?
---I think the WWE needs both of them very badly. Guys like Khali, Kane, etc. killed wrestling. It's time for a change!
8) What do you think about ROH?
---I think Adam Pearce has done a great job guiding them through the most difficult transition in company history, and deserves a lot more praise than he gets.
9) Do you want that some of your ex-student's sign a contract with WWE?
---I want all my students to fulfill their wrestling dream, whatever it might be.
10) What do you think about WWE? Do you want a work in WWE?
---I think it is very boring, stale. I do not enjoy watching it. I would not be interested to work for the WWE in any role, as a wrestler, announcer or anything.
11) What do you think about TNA?
---TNA is much like the WWE, but without the money of the McMahon family. It is painful to watch.
12) What do you think about Sting and his retirement?
---The man has certainly earned the right to retire whenever he chooses. He has nothing left to prove to the wrestling world.
13) Who was your best as I successful student?
---That is very difficult to answer. The man that trained under me with the biggest worldwide name is probably Claudio Castagnoli.
14) What's the most favorite match in your Career?
---I think the match I had with Claudio at the IWA:MS "Ted Petty Invitational" tournament in 2006 might be my favorite.
15) Do you have a dream match that you want to make?
---I have always wanted to wrestle Christopher Daniels in a singles match, or tag team with Jushin Liger.
16) What do you think about European Wrestling-Style?
---It is a beautiful, elegant style. I wish more people would show an interest in it. It is dying slowly.
17) Who's better - CMLL or AAA and why?
---I think CMLL is better, because the focus is on the wrestling, where AAA is focused more on angles, interviews and that sort of stuff.
19) In this year wrestling world was shocked a death Mitsuharu Misawa. Did you know him personally?
---I never met Misawa, but I was a big fan of his.
20) Do your hear about Russian Federation of wrestling - IWF(Independet Wrestling Federation)?
---I have not heard of this, but I think its great that Russia will get some independent wrestling!
21) Do you want wrestle to in Russia?
---Yes, very much. It would be great to show the Russian fans my style of pro-wrestling.
22)In the end,please say something for Russian wrestling fans!
