Aaron Wilson: First off how are you?
Alan Funk:    Hey what's up man.

Aaron wilson: You were released from your WWF Developmental 
              Deal, why do you think this decision was made?
Alan Funk:    Well they told me they didn't need my services 
              anymore, and I could guess a few things but, you
              know they got so many guys up there including a 
              bunch of talented guys from WCW, and guys still
              up there that still aren't working so I'm probably
              not a priority on their list right now.

Aaron Wilson: During your Dev. Stint you were in HWA, can you tell 
              me a little about your experience there?
Alan Funk:    I was up there for about six months, the experience
              was OK, we just wrestled regular indy shows and got
              some good training from Dave Taylor and Dean Malenko
              and guys like that. But as far as the quality of the
              shows go, I don't think the quality of the shows were
              that great. I'm not sure what WWF had in mind, but
              I don't think it was going quite as well as they 
              wanted, and may have something to do with some of the
              guys they got rid of, I don't know. Overall, it was a
              good experience; I'm glad I got the chance to work with
              the WWF in the HWA Territory, there's a lot of good 
              people up there.

Aaron Wilson: You wrestled as the character known as the Funkster while
              in HWA, can you tell me a little bit about that?
Alan Funk:    Yeah it was something that Bryan Adams from Kronic and myself
              came up with since I had long hair for Kwee Wee and I started
              growing a goatee everyone started saying that I looked like
              Hogan. So I let the goatee grow out and I shaved it like Hogan's
              mustache. Originally Bryan wanted to call me "Keester", being
              a spin-off of Kwee Wee, but I figured the Funkster would be 
              a little better so it just started evolving from that. When I 
              did it up there in Cincinati at the house show in the HWA arena
              everyone responded really well so I just kept doing it and it
              got over pretty good. Then when I did it on the WWA Pay per View
              it got a decent response considering nobody has really ever seen 
              it before.

Aaron Wilson: Tell me your opinion, what do you think went wrong with World 
              Championship Wrestling?
Alan Funk:    (Laughs) Just bad business man, in my opinion it was all office
              and higher up in the office, maybe some of the booking was a little
              off, but it had nothing to do with the wrestlers. The wrestlers 
              workrate was pretty decent, with the exception of maybe a couple of
              guys. But I don't think the wrestlers are to blame for the downfall
              of WCW, it was just bad business.

Aaron Wilson: How you you feel about the nWo in the WWF?
Alan Funk:    Well, I like the nWo, I just don't think it's getting over as well as
              it did the first time. Anytime something goes away that was that big
              and you reintroduce it into the scene, it's usually not as good as
              it was the first time, I mean it's ok for now, but I don't know how
              long it's going to last.

Aaron Wilson: How do you feel about the current talk of a cruiserweight division 
              in the WWF, now that the split has happend, and do you think you'll 
              get a call from the WWF to join them?
Alan Funk:    I really don't know how well it's going to go. I think they might 
              experiment with it, like they have in the past. Everytime they've 
              done something with cruiserweights up there it never lasts, I'm 
              anxious to see myself how it's going to work out. As far as getting
              the call back, I really don't see them calling me back anytime soon,
              although if they did I would defenitely welcome another spot up there.
              I keep in touch with Tom Pritchard and Johnny Ace from the WWF, but
              I never talk about getting my job back with them, I just try to keep
              in touch with them, and keep my name fresh in their mind.

Aaron Wilson: You're currently involved with the WWA - How's that going and can you 
              tell me a little bit about it?
Alan Funk:    It's going good. It's still something new and it's always hard to 
              start something new in the wrestling business as you can tell right
              now. There's been a lot of guys trying to start things up who just
              can't get stuff rolling. As far as the promotion and stuff, I think 
              it's pretty good and the workers he has are good. Given a chance I 
              think the WWA can do something, you just got to be patient with it.

Aaron Wilson: You had a match with Reno on the last WWA PPV - What are your 
              feelings on that?
Alan Funk:    I thought it was a pretty good match. I hadn't been in the ring since
              December. And of course I did the Funkster character which got a 
              pretty good response considering no one has ever seen it before.
              I was happy with the overall performance of Reno and myself.

Aaron Wilson: How do you feel about your future in this business?
Alan Funk:    I feel, given a chance, I can do anything anybody else can do in this
              business, I just need that oppurtunity. I can work in the top spot
              in any company, I just need to be given a chance.

Aaron Wilson: Thanks a lot, any final comments?
Alan Funk:    I just want to thank everybody who has supported the Kwee Wee character
              and is a fan of the Funkster and Alan Funk. I hope they continue to 
              watch me wherever I wrestle and give me the same support.
