With just days to go until what is sure to be a brutal match with Shirley Doe, Super Hentai graciously took the time to share his thoughts on the recent altercations between he and Doe, and what kind of effect these altercations have had on his career.

Q: Little did you know it at the time, but December 6, 2002 became one of the most traumatic, life-changing days you've ever experience, I'm sure. Going into this match, I'm sure you expected a certain amount of violence and brutality, but did you have any idea going into the match that things would go as far as they did?

A: Shirley Doe has a huge reputation here in the IWC for hurting people. Hell, he even made a wrestler call it quits a year ago this month. I expected to come out of that match banged up. What I didn't expect was a trip to the ER to get six staples lodged into my skull and one and a half months on the shelf.

Q: How much, if anything, do you remember from that match, the fateful chairshot, and the aftermath?

A: I just remember the match being a hard-hitting one. It was like being locked in a cage with a wild animal. As far as the chairshot, it felt as if he was swinging for the fences. I think the Pirates should sign him to be their pinch hitter.

Q: How did it feel having to not only miss nearly two months of IWC action, but to also miss a return tour of Japan to compete in the Madison Square Garden of Japanese wrestling?

A: Like everyone else before Dececember 6th, 2002, Doe brought me down to his level. The price I paid was my return tour to the Orient and weeks out of action. Everytime I enter a ring, I know that there is a possibility of being knocked out of competition. I can't look back at the missed opportunity back in December or March. I will get my chance to return to Japan, but right now I have total focus on Shirley Doe at the Big Butler Fair on Saturday, June 28th.

Q: You may have been out of in-ring competition, but you didn't sit idly by, as you instigated a locker room-emptying pull-apart brawl with Doe. Was it just blinding rage motivating you at that point and did you ever think about the consequences of getting that close to Doe again, especially when you weren't yet at 100%?

A: When I was asked sit in for Doe's match at the commentator's table, I knew there was a good chance that he would try to get under my skin. I have seen him play this game over and over again with different IWC superstars. I figured I would fight fire with fire. Then, it was blinding rage. Now, it's giving Doe what he deserves.

Q: Four months later was your first shot at revenge in a tag match with you and Sterling James Keenan against Doe and The Mysterious X, however Keenan betrayed you to become a disciple of Doe. Did you see it coming? And what was running through your mind at this point?

A: I had no clue that Keenan would stab me in the back and join Doe's evil forces. He has all the tools to become one of the top guns here in IWC, but his reputation may be tarnished now that he is with Doe and The Mysterious X. When the whole three-way beat down was going on in Penn Hills, I was thinking, "I sure hope somebody has the balls to get out here and save my ass."

Q: Many people point to Doe and the stress he must be taking on you as explanation for some of your less-than-stellar moments as of late, particularly being eliminated first in this year's Super Indy Tournament, despite winning last year's tourney. Is that an accurate assessment in your view?

A: Yes and No. Colt Cabana is one hell of an athlete. I was going to have my hands full in the first round whether I was in the midst of a heated battle with Doe or not.

Q: After all of this, the moment of redemption is finally just days away. December 6, 2002 was an important date in your life, but June 28, 2003 could prove to be even more significant. Seven months of hellacious mental and physical punishment, seven months of psychological mind games, seven months of hatred, and you are just days away from your chance to finally put Doe in his place and release this burden that's been plaguing you for seemingly forever. What's running through your mind right now?

A: Annihilation.

Q: I know you've spent a lot of time preparing for this match mentally and physically, thank you for taking the time to talk to us and I wish you the best of luck on June 28.

A: See you on the 28th.

There you have it, an obviously determined Super Hentai on the road to redemption going in to the street fight of his life June 28 at the Big Butler Fair.
