Interview with Kenny "Star Maker" Bolin

By -
First I would like to take this time to thank Mr. Bolin for taking the time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for me. I hope you enjoy the interview I know I like always enjoyed conducting it. Once again thank you Mr. Bolin and I hope you all enjoy it. Here is the interview


1. What is your view on how managers are seen in this era?
They have been rendered useless for the most part. Other than Zeb Colter and Paul Heyman. Ya just don't see the classic managers any more.

2. Do you believe that most wrestling companies have lost touch with the importance of a manager?
That ties in what I just said. YES...they have lost touch.

3. Why did you get into the business?
It was what I had truly loved and knew I would do since I was 11 years old. Jerry Lawler inspired me to be in this business.

4. Growing up was there a specific person that you modeled your managing style off of when you got into the business. Also same question for announcing? ---- I felt I was more like a Jerry Lawler at announcing when he was a true heel. I loved to mix in comedy with being a smart ass con man. As for being a manager I felt I stole from every one good, a little bit of Lawler on promos...A little Cornette, a Little Heenan...a lot of me in my real life.

5. Which company do you think is doing is doing a better job at helping OVW and which company do you prefer working with WWE or TNA? ----- The money was better with WWE....TNA stayed out of our business a little better than WWE. I do like making BIG money so WWE was better. I also felt we helped WWE far better than they helped us. They got OVW for 9 years at a fraction of the cost they have spent on the Florida developmental system. Count how many WWE stars came out of OVW and count how many have come from Florida...once again...a fraction of what OVW did. We sent over 100 wrestlers there in 9 years...and they miss-used a ton of that talent. We would get them over and make stars of them here....but they would get them and the writers could come up with nothing for them. Matt Morgan, Lance Cade, Aaron the Idol Stevens and the Heart Breakers come to mind just to name a few. Finally Aaron is now doing a gimmick he perfected while living with me...I am very proud of him and his work.

6. Do you think OVW will ever expand to more than just being in the Davis Arena------I hope they already have...OVW does over 150 shows a year in the tri-state area for the last 17 years. OVW is also is the longest running locally or regionally produced TV show in the south other than the local news. I said GOOD DAY!!


Once again I thank Mr. Bolin for taking the time to allow me ask him these questions and being very professional about each one. Thanks.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
