Real Name: Nick Scoville
The Informer: The first question that I always ask is how did you
get into the great sport of professional wrestling? And when was it
that you decided to get into the sport?
Blitzkrieg Kid: I got into it through my dad, I think, when I was
still a young child. Ever scince I was 6 I dreamed of being a pro
wrestler. I would ask my Dad "Dad, why do I need to learn to read if
I'm gonna be a pro wrestler?" He could never give me a straight
answer. I finally found out about the oppertunity to be a pro
wrestler here in GR in April of '98, and I jumped at the oppertunity.
The Informer: Who brought you into wrestling and who was it that
you
trained under?
Blitzkrieg Kid: I was brought into wrestling by the founder of
Champioship Wrestling of Michigan (CWM) Scott Zeinstra and was
trained the basics and most regular wrestling by Frankie the Face.
More complicated manuvers were taught under El Tejano.
The Informer: Who was the biggest influence on your career?
Blitzkrieg Kid: There are several, but one of the most influential
is my brother, Refferee Jimmy Jacobs. Without him, I wouldn't be
booked on a lot of the shows or have as much name recognition as I do
now. He put my name out there via the internet and made my web
site. It's been quite the poitive experience.
The Informer: Which wrestlers are or were your most favorite to
work
with in the ring? And who, if any, are the wrestlers that you have
not liked working with?
Blitzkrieg Kid: I have worked with some really great atheletes.
I'd say my favorites are Tommy Mac, Asten Williams, Michael Stryker,
and Ace Decade. Without a doubt, my best matches are with them.
Tommy and i have somewhat contrasting styles which makes for an
excellent match (heck, we've had 5 together) Asten is a great
worker. He can control a match beautifully and it always flows real
well and comes out nicely. Stryker and I have had some classic
matches. We've done some excellent stuff together. He's one of the
toughest little guys I've ever seen, in and out of the ring. Ace
Decade was one of my favorite matches. No DQ, falls count anywhere.
ECW would have been proud of it. He took all of the things that I
wanted to try and without any complaints. As far as least favorite,
I haven't encountered anybody that I don't like to work with. I
think not liking to work a match with a particular person is a result
of perhaps miscomunication between the two workers and is somewhat a
fault of both parties. This is not to say that there are no bad
workers in the world, but I think two well trained people no matter
who they are should be able to put on a well organized match with no
screw-ups.
The Informer: We currently follow you in the Great Lakes region,
but
which region did you make your start at and which parts of the
independent circuit have you wrestled in all throughout your career?
Blitzkrieg Kid: Well, I am very young to the buisness, having almost
finished up my first full year. I started in the Grand Rapids region
working for Pro Wrestling Worldwide and moved on to Holland for
Lakeshore Wrestling Organization. I'm booked for the battle royal in
the Dan Curtis Memorial show on April 16, and I am now a regular on
UWA shows.
The Informer: And in these areas, which promotions have you worked
for?
Blitzkrieg Kid: Pro Wrestling Worldwide and Lakeshore Wrestling
Organization.
The Informer: Have you ever held any titles? And if so, which
titles have you held?
Blitzkrieg Kid: I was the first PWW battle bowl champion, which is
simply a Royal Rumble. I carried the title over to LsWO, where I
lost it to Ace Decade.
The Informer: Have you ever been seriously injured inside the
ring?
And if so, what were your most serious injuries?
Blitzkrieg Kid: A broken toes practicing moonsaults, a concusion
from a spine buster, and tons of scars on my elbows from improper
bumps.
The Informer: Who has been your toughest opponent and your biggest
rival?
Blitzkrieg Kid: The CLBs (crazy little bratts) Asten Williams and
Tommy Mac have been tough opponents for me in the past, and will be
in the future as well.
The Informer: What was the best moment of your career? Whether it
be in or outside of the ring?
Blitzkrieg Kid: I would say giving Ace Decade my "Lightning press"
outside the ring through a table for the win during my no DQ falls
count anywhere match vs. him. I got quite the pop!
The Informer: Where did you come up with the Blitzkrieg Kid
gimmick? Inside the ring, what style of wrestling do you use? High-
flying, brawling, mat wrestling?
Blitzkrieg Kid: From the guy on Nitro. He's sooooooo cool, I just
wanted to be like him. Just kidding :). I liked the name
Blitzkrieg, which means lightning war which represents my fighting
style, which I came up with in '97. The kid part was added on by
Scott Zeinstra. I consider myself a "little big man" not a
luchador. I do have the fighting style, very high flying, but I'm
also quite strongso I can work with just about anybody.
The Informer: If you could pick anyone that you would want to
wrestle, who would it be?
Blitzkrieg Kid: HBK. That would be totally awsome, if I may mark
out for a minute. I think Shawn is the greatest wrestler ever and it
would be an honor to work a match with him.
The Informer: What goals do you have planned for your wrestling
career? Do you one day plan to make it to the big show, or do you
plan on staying in indies forever?
Blitzkrieg Kid: WWF if they actually start WRESTLING again, if not,
then ECW. It's what I've wanted to do all my life, I know I've got
the wrestling ability, it's just a matter of getting over with the
fans.
The Informer: What kind of advice would you give to someone who is
trying to get into the sport of professional wrestling?
Blitzkrieg Kid: Don't talk junk till you can back it up. You'll
find lots of horrible, no-talent pieces of crap running indy
promotions almost everywhere you go. You may think you're a better
wrestler then them when you begin, and you probobly are, but just sit
back and do your own thing. Once you get good by there standards,
which means the basics, talk all the smack you want, just be careful
who!
The Informer: Would you like to take some time to tell everyone
about your web site, fan club, or merchandise?
Blitzkrieg Kid: Visit my website!

The Informer: Thanks for taking the time to do this interview
session. Before you leave, leave the fans and us with some final
comments. Just anything that you would like to let everyone know.
Blitzkrieg Kid: Come watch me for only 10 bucks in the indys while
you still can! |
