Main Event Madness is back once again and speaking of back, so is Al, and what a week to return, as GFW Star and Former WWE Star Chris “The Adonis” Mordetzky stops by the show to talk about his career so far both in WWE and overseas, as well as his career going forward with Global Force Wrestling. Below are some highlights from the aforementioned interview:

Becoming a wrestler at 16 and joining WWE:

“Yea i did, that was a short little stint and I got hurt so quick. Within two months I fractured my ankle and had to have it scoped. So basically after that I took a couple years off and got my body in good shape and came back at 19 and the rest is history and pretty much everything started right there. [on working at 16] Yea I had to get the [parental] permission and all that but I have to say I wasnt prepared, I was only 16, I wasnt in any kind of physical shape to be doing it either. I just realized when I got there that between that and the injury that maybe I was being a little too ambitious too early and that it would be better suited if I taken a couple years and I focused on a couple other aspects of things and then came back to it.”

His return in 2009 and opinions on his gimmick and if he liked it:

“Oh no not at all. What it is is, we did the Crazy Train thing, right? And really what it came down to, is I did that much too well for that segment, because they got a huge pop, and all of a sudden their eyes got big and then they thought it would be clever to do it any chance you could get. I thought it was funny for Crazy Train and then it was maybe funny one other time with Jericho but I would have really preferred not to have that spot of ‘okay let’s just use him to do that’ because that was ridiculous and as a wrestling fan I’d like to think I’m still in touch with the wrestling fan in me and the wrestling fan in me was telling me this is not something I’d like to see on the regular. I loved the Crazy Train one and I love the one with Jericho but leave it at that, and that evolve into something else whether that be me letting my own personality get out rather than narrowing in on one aspect. it’s like okay it’s not about the pec dances…but narrow minded thinking, I guess just gets you into thinking ‘let’s just do it a million f***ing times.'”
