Do you still hate eric

as much as you do my friend

 

[Jake Smith]

I’m sure you have a lot of questions

 

[Gary Daniels]

Could you imagine yourself (as Jake Smith at least) still using Shane Thorne as a picbase?

Could you imagine yourself (as Jake Smith at least) still using Shane Thorne as a picbase?

Yeah I still could, all throughout my time with the Cody picbase I visualized myself as someone else, when I did promos during that time I’d visualize myself as Adam Cole, and then I’d always want to go back to Shane Thorne since then Adam Cole was a no-go. But then when I got Adam Cole all those feelings of Shane Thorne-ness (which is a highly contagious disease) was gone, I’m proud to be Adam Cole but yeah I’d still think of Jake Smith as the Mightiest One

How do you feel you've evolved over the course of 2019? What were some of your proudest moments, and what you would've liked to have done better if anything?

Promo wise I see a massive improvement. From someone who didnt know what he was doing to someone who takes the match by the throat and rattles his opponents to the bone, I feel that's something I will take out of 2019 because this improvement, this growth. My proudest moments probably was Under Siege with the Round Table, and of course Battle of Egypt when I won the PURE Championship, those are the ones i remember atleast . I think my time here was perfect and there's nothing I wouldve done better because it's perfect as is.

- Honestly Territorial Invasion. I've stated multiple times that I love multi man matches, brings out the best in me for some reason, and I really went to fucking town on everyone in that match to my recollection, even if it was a losing effort it was really fun to promo, plus Viz wrote me flawlessly.

- 12 ofcourse if I had to say, it's like the Jake character was propelled to new heights, given a opportunity no one else could give him. It was fun on Dynasty do not get me wrong I absolutely loved the segments that were put out there, always enjoyable. But holding the PURE Championship even if it was lost from me earlier than expected, felt like completion to me, absolutely loves it.

- Chris Elite vs Rex McAllister on that one Voltage before King of Elite or something like that. It was really fun making them beat the shit out of eachother, I wrote it with the perception that it was to be a MOTY contender. And it was fantastic how it turned out, it was great in my eyes. Also the Ultimate Opportunity Ladder Match was a honorable mention for me, I truly kickstarted the Woogieman and PETA relationship .

How does it feel being a two-time PURE Champ?

How did you come up with the ideas for Jake/Sierra, and what do you feel about their respective evolutions?

Anybody you want to face but haven't?

As a match writer, who are the characters you enjoy writing for the most?

1. Fantastic, that is all. Just kidding, more than anything I feel like if this wasn't a crowning moment the first time around this would definitely be. I am honestly grateful more than anything and I can't say it enough because I felt like this was a blessing in disguise for me, just knowing I'm the second one too makes me proud of myself for like not giving up.

2. I came up with Jake very bleakly. I did some shit before when it comes to feds and I just went with my gut, some jackass who doesn't give a shit about anyone, blank. As for Sierra I base it kind of off my real life and how y'know, life goes and I based it off a girl I know, obviously if Sierra's history isn't enough to know the personality of the girl, there you go. I didn't really plan to make Sierra a character, but it adapted and grew into one of it's own and I wouldn't have it any other way.

3. There isn't anyone in specific, but I'd love to face Charlie Marr as Jake, I feel like that would make some interesting play of words to say the very least. Mr. DEDEDE is also a good one but I'm not sure I can handle that pressure please don't get any ideas.

4. Well I have a few off the Voltage brand I could state, of course you Lars but I'm not putting you up so high cause I haven't written you as much, Dr. Bethany Blue of course cause I've written the Doc alot and it's to the point where it's a snap of a finger and I have a idea for her that could possibly be one of the greatest things known to mankind, Raven Roberts because her moveset is so intuitive and creative and it leads open to a lot of big spots, and Korey Gaines, cause who the hell doesn't love a sk8er boi?

What's the backup plan if something were to happen to Adam Cole? (Knock on wood)

Favorite match you've written as a writer?

How does it feel to be in elite company as a 2x PURE Champ?

Why is the Maidens of Malpractice superior to Mile High Club?

1. Well, I haven't really doubted about it lmao. Adam Cole has always fit me like a glove and I could never see Jake as someone else, but if something were to happen then probably Shane Thorne would be my next best option, the goat.

2. Terry Chambers vs Dr. Bethany Blue at Wicked Games 2019

3. I've took some thought into this and I'm really honored to be in this position that I'm in where I can say that I've done things that literally almost everyone but one couldn't. It really is a special moment that everyone should cherish when they get the chance.

Is Showdown REALLY the "Jake Smith Show with Bronson?"

How does it feel to be the lesser person in your tag team?

How do you feel with being in the goat Bronson's shadow?

When I book Bronson turning on you, will you not cry like a bitch?
