Fred: Fred Richani here for The Sports Courier with former WCW and TNA Impact Wrestling superstar Disco Inferno. Disco, how are you doing, man?
Disco Inferno: I’m doing good. How are you?
Fred: Pretty well. You weren’t victorious earlier tonight against Colt Cabana.
Disco Inferno: No, but he pulled the tights. The way he cheated repeatedly, it’s all on camera. They filmed it, so the decision will probably be reversed eventually. I’m pretty sure about that.
Fred: I think it definitely will be reversed. I was going to say you had a great performance in defeat, as a performance artist.
Disco Inferno: I’m a sports entertainer. I do what I do. I’m also a former Wrestling Observer Newsletter Best Gimmick of the Year award winner.
Fred: In 1995, I believe. What have you been doing in life after wrestling?
Disco Inferno: I’ve never quit wrestling. Are you kidding me? Wrestling is my life. I live wrestling, breathe wrestling and watch football, and that’s about it.
Fred: And I see you’re an Atlanta Falcons fan. They had a really good season, but like the Golden State Warriors, they couldn’t always hold on to a lead.
Disco Inferno: The Golden State Warriors? Did you know the Falcons were the top team in the NFC, one pass away from the Super Bowl? Why are you trying to discredit the Falcons? Comparing them to the Golden State Warriors is a slap in the face. They’re a young team with a lot of potential. Do you really watch sports?
Fred: I do watch sports, with a very critical eye.
Disco Inferno: Not as much as I do, sir. The Falcons are probably one of the top two teams in the league.
Fred: Who’s the other top team?
Disco Inferno: New England.
Fred: Fair enough. What about the Baltimore Ravens?
Disco Inferno: I think they were pretty lucky. If you watch it, they got lucky. If that bum on the Broncos doesn’t fall down, they don’t win. Look, we have a mutual friend by the name of John “Double J” Johnson, and he’s got a little bit of a problem, a gambling problem. The guy’s lost $500 to me over the past few years in our personal sports bets. He’s clueless. A hundred dollars one year, two hundred another year. I’m wiping the guy out. Honestly, if you know John “Double J” Johnson, he’s having troubles because of this, so we’re going to have a fundraiser for him. We’re going to call it the Fundraiser for JJ, so you can hashtag it on Twitter. We’ll have artists come in. Elton John is going to perform. Comedians and professional athletes are going to come in and sign, and maybe we’ll auction off some of their jerseys. We’re going to have a fundraiser for JJ, because I’m taking all of his money.
Fred: That’s awfully kind of you, sir.
Fred: People are wondering: Are we ever going to get a Boogie Knights reunion with Alex Wright?
Disco Inferno: Not unless he wants to fly over from Germany. On my own dime? Alex Wright has a wrestling school there with like 250 students. He’s convinced 250 people that he knows about wrestling and that he’s teaching them how to wrestle. Can you believe the audacity? I was the one who taught Alex Wright how to wrestle. He should be kicking me back some money.
Fred: He hasn’t invited you to do a seminar or anything?
Disco Inferno: No. Why? Because that would expose him. They’d see me and say, “Obviously, you were the brains of the operation.”
Fred: He was also known as Berlin for a brief time.
Disco Inferno: What a bad gimmick that was. Hey, it happens.
Fred: Where can fans find you online?
Disco Inferno: I don’t want fans to find me online. Do you know how many schmuck wrestling fans try to friend me on Facebook? I don’t tweet, because I don’t want the schmuck wrestling fans on my Twitter page. A few of them have gotten on there, and all they do is make fun of me.
Fred: You do have actual fans, though. They aren’t schmucks.
Disco Inferno: I have fans, but I don’t want the haters coming on there. So don’t follow me on Twitter.
Fred: You’ve got a lot of loyal fans in line, so we’ll wrap this up. Thanks, Disco.
