For some wrestlers, it takes years to get to WrestleMania. For most wrestlers, they never get close to the big show. For one wrestler, it only took a couple of years, hard work, and some lucky breaks. Chaz Warrington is that wrestler. RF Video is proud to present a head banging Shoot Interview with former WWE tag team champion, Chaz Warrington.
When Chaz walked into the room and said, “Let’s go. I have nothing to lose,” we knew it was going to be good. Chaz had a very interesting wrestling career. Chaz wrestled his first WWE match after only several weeks of training. How did it happen? What legendary wrestler welcomed Chaz to the locker room? How did his opponent react when he couldn’t throw a punch? These are some great stories about what it is like to be an enhancement wrestler on WWE television.
Chaz then takes on his road to the WWE. Chaz talks about his days as the Spiders in Memphis. Who were the jerks of the locker room and who helped him? Who tried to rib him, and who did he rib in return? Chaz has a funny story about one wrestler who’s attitude completely changed years later when they worked together in the WWE. Chaz also talks about a confrontation at the time with Jerry Lawler that resulted in him leaving the territory.
Next for Chaz was Smokey Mountain Wrestling. Chaz talks about how one team quitting immediately opened up the door for him. Chaz talks about the Headbanger’s gimmick and how it came about. Chaz has a great story about input and development into the gimmick. Did he know he had a hit right away? Chaz has some great insight early on into the Headbanger’s gimmick.
Chaz talks about all of his wars in SMW with the Rock and Roll Express, and countless others. Chaz has some great stories about the fans. Chaz tells a story about starting a riot that almost got him killed one night. Chaz also talks about the unfortunate demise of SMW. How did he find out? How did the boys react? Did he see it coming? Why did he think it failed?
Chaz talks about getting the call to try out for the WWE. Who made the deal happen? How did the office react? What was Vince McMahon’s reaction upon hearing about the Headbanger’s gimmick? How long did Chaz work on a part-time contract in the WWE? At what point were the Headbangers given free reign to run with the gimmick and why? Who from the office early on became a friend to him and how would it help him later?
Chaz also talks openly about his many WWE matches. What wrestlers wanted to give and what wrestlers wanted to take? Who were the most frustrating guys to work with and why? How did Vince and Jim Ross change in time? Who ribbed Chaz in the ring? Did he mind dressing up in drag? What veteran tag team surprisingly agreed to help put them over? Chaz also tells a great story of meeting Mike Tyson and Pete Rose and the surprising result of the meetings.
Chaz is still known today for his infamous Beaver Cleavage gimmick. Who’s idea was it? Who called him Beaver and why? Why was the plug pulled so fast? Why he felt he didn’t have good chemistry with Marianne? Chaz also talks about his last run with D Lo Brown and Tiger Singh Jr. What would he have done different in these gimmicks? Does he regret any of them?
