Fred: Fred Richani for TheSportsCourier.com, joined by Robbie E. What’s going on, bro?

Robbie E: I don’t know what’s going on with your hair, bro. Are you trying to rip off my hair?

Fred: No, man. I’m just trying to grow it out.

Robbie E: To have hair the same size as me? I don’t know how I’m feeling about that, bro.

Fred: I’m just trying to be as cool as you, bro. I can’t tan, ’cause I burn.

Robbie E: You’re never going to be as cool as me, and you’ve got to throw blond in if you even want to get halfway toward what I have. But let’s go on with this thing.

Fred: For people who have been watching TSC for a number of years, we used to cover ISPW in Freehold, where you used to be their champ. You were big on the indies, and now you’re big-time in TNA, a former TV champ and X Division champ. How’s the ride been so far?

Robbie E: Even years ago, when you used to watch me back at ISPW, everyone knew I was destined for greatness, bro. When I played sports at the age of 3, everyone knew I was going to grow up and be some kind of television star, and now I am. When I went to TNA Wrestling, I won the X Division title in my third match, and a year later, at the same pay-per-view, Turning Point, I won the TV title. Who knows what’s next for me, bro? After I win the Bound for Glory Series I’m in now, I’m going to be a world champion. Things are only getting better for Robbie E.

Fred: But, bro, you didn’t do so well against Kurt Angle.

Robbie E: Hey, everybody has a bad night. Are you trying to mess with me, man? I wasn’t even prepared for that match. I wasn’t supposed to be in it. Next question.

Fred: OK, then. How’s your partnership been with Robbie T? He used to be in the British Invasion, the big, silent dude. He went on a big streak, he’s a former TV champ, and he needed a home and a friend and found Robbie E in Jersey. What’s it been like teaming with him?

Robbie E: He lives in Jersey now, bro. His lifestyle’s changed. It’s Big Rob and bigger Rob, Robbie E and Robbie T. We do everything together, bro. I needed somebody to watch my back, and who better than a guy who’s triple the size of everyone? Money well spent. Robbie T’s life has changed, my life has changed, and we’ve got a bromance that’s working out pretty good.

Fred: Where can fans find you online? I know you’re pretty active on the web.

Robbie E: You can follow me on Twitter at RobbieEImpact. D’Lo Brown’s one of my biggest followers. I mean, everyone follows me, bro. I’m up to millions of followers now. You can also check out my official website, and you can find me on the roster page on ImpactWrestling.com. You’re going to get your fill from those three things.

Fred: I’ll get you out of here on this, bro: How can I get on the list?

Robbie E: That’s a joke, right? We talked about your hair, dude. I’m from Jersey. Start at those shoes and just move up. Look at the way you’re dressed, bro. Do you think I would go anywhere in public with you? Do you think I’d take you to the club dressed like this? Do you understand the amount of girls I get, bro? Do you know how much that number would decrease if you were with me? You’re a hamster, and you will never be on the list.

Fred: Does Cookie know you’re seeing girls?

Robbie E: You’re a hamster who asks me questions. Cookie? Are you kidding me, bro? I kicked her to the curb a year ago. Is this thing done? It’s done. Later, dweeb.
