IWF News - Drake Younger Interview (IWF Hotseat)

Question: For those who aren't familiar with you, tell everyone a little about yourself. Where you are from, when did you start wrestling, etc.

DRAKE YOUNGER: My name is "The Psycho Shooter" Drake Younger . I'm 5' 9, 210 lbs and I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana by way of the American Kickboxer's R.A.A.G.E. Dojo. My Finishing Move is the Drake's Landing and I am the current CZW (Combat Zone Wrestling) Ultra Violent Underground Champion.

Q: Who has been your toughest opponent & what was your favorite match?

DRAKE: My toughest opponent was probably Low-Ki and my favorite match was against Necro Butcher at CZW's "Cage of Death 8".

Q: As a child growing up, who were your favorite wrestlers to watch on the boob tube or at your local arena? Which one wrestler in particular made you want to lace up the boots and become a professional?

DRAKE: When I was young, I was a Hulkamaniac. As I got older, I idolized Cactus Jack and Sabu.

Q: From a fan's standpoint, which wrestlers in the Insane Wrestling Federation should the fans be keeping a special eye on? Who entertains you?

DRAKE: CK3 is a threat for sure if he's 100%...I am entertained the most by "Mr. Insanity" Toby Klein.

Q: There's always talk about how WWE or anyone else at the top has done "the wrong thing" at different times or people ask "why that guy" when they are picked up. Is there anyone you think should have gone up by now to the WWE?

Q: If there was one thing you could change about wrestling, what would it be?

DRAKE: To not have so much emphasis on a persons body. To focus more on talent rather than muscles.

Q: If you had the chance to pick the brain of one person in wrestling, who would it be?

DRAKE: One time, I fell asleep before everyone else and my trainer the American Kickboxer poured water on my crotch. When I woke up, I thought that I'd p**sed myself. They didn't reveal the prank for about an hour or so. So needless to say, I felt embarassed...lol.

Q: If there was one impression you wanted to leave on people, what would it be?

DRAKE: That I'm one of the more polite wrestlers that they have met.

DRAKE: One of the best teachers around...I'm so proud to have learned from him.

DRAKE: Great guys and great athletes. Fun on the road as well.

DRAKE: Very nice and vey professional to work for. I can remember him on tv from ECW...He interacts with the boys very well.

DRAKE: One of the smartest wrestlers you'll meet. Such an innovator.

DRAKE: A smart promoter and a good guy. He has helped me out tremendously.

DRAKE: Thanks for the support...I look forward to wrestling the Necro Butcher on 5/24 and winning the IWF Heavyweight Title. Check out my merch at myspace. com/Brutalbutchershoppe and at SmartMarkvideo. com
