Interview with Tim Donst

By -
Q: For the readers who may not know who you are why not give a little background of who you are & how you got into the Wrestling business?
I've been wrestling for roughly 6 years. I first got involved through CHIKARA PRO after being trained by Mike Quackenbush and Chris Hero. Since than I've been lucky enough to wrestle all over the United States.

Q: When you were growing up were you a wrestling fan or no and if not where you aware of it?
I got into wrestling later than most people in my profession. I got into it when I was maybe 12 or 13 but was hooked since.

Q: If you were a fan growing up was there any wrestlers specifically who made you say I am going to do this and be like them
I wrestled in highschool so Kurt Angle would be the first answer off the top of my head. I really respected what he did for the amateur sport. Though Brian Kendrick was the first guy that made me believe I could do it too. Getting to wrestle him was surreal because of this.
 
Q: Who is the best opponent you have been in the ring with, & who did you enjoy feuding with the most?
I've been lucky enough to be in the ring with some of the greats. Everyone is particular good in something. Though by matches with Kendrick, Bryan Danielson, Mad Man Pondo and Derrick Bateman come to mind. Bj Whitmer and Hallowhicked are both two of the most underrated talented wrestlers on the planet. I enjoyed my feud with Hallowhicked by far the most. 

Q: If you could have a dream match with anyone in the wrestling active or retired who would you pick and why.
The Rock. It would be so much exposure and the 13 year old kid in me would be going crazy.
Q: Also what type of match would it be Singles, Tag Team, Multi Man, Gimmick match, etc and if there was any specific reason to pick the stipulation?
Singles, straight up wrestling match and nothing to get in our way in terms of showing what we can do.

Q: Which of the 3 “mainstream” wrestling companies do you view as the company that best fits you and your character? Also have you ever spoken to former employees from the company asking them what happens behind the curtains in a company and would it impact your choice to go to a company? (The Mainstream companies ROH, TNA, WWE)
WWE followed by ROH. I try to stay out of politics as much as possible. It makes me feel like Im trading in my morals for business which I refuse to do. I just believe between my promos and abilities, I can bring alot to the table to those two companies.
 
 
I'd like to thank Mr. Donst for being so approchable and appreciative actually that even I sent for the interview. I have been asking wrestlers for interviews like this for 2 years now and he's the first to show appreciation to me. Give Tim a follow on twitter (@tdonst) and support Indy Wrestling.

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...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
