I was backstage
at Meltdown a few days ago when I was asked what came to mind when Zippy or the
Zip Crew was mentioned. I was dumbfounded, yet I still had a few words
that came up. "Unorthodox", "funny", and
"amazing". Kevin Jacobs: Folks, Kevin Jacobs here for the GCW Magazine. We
are lucky
I have been around Zippy for around two years now, and I'd
like to share my experiences with everyone.
We met way back in the days when I was head of new talent for the IFCW.
Back then Zippy was nothing more than a 15 year old trapped in a grown man's
body. He had practical jokes coming out of the wazoo. One time I had
provided some of my wife's famous chili before the nights pay per view.
Zippy actually got a few different things to add, which include bottle after
bottle of hot sauce poured into the pot of food. Not to mention the four
cans of sneezing powder added when no one was looking. Needless to say,
liquids and paper towels were extra expenses that night. Zippy's joke
affected all of that nights pay per view matches.
Shortly
there after, the IFCW was forced to close. I began the search for work,
and it wasn't long before I was hired by the W3WF. I was with the company
for about two months before Zippy and his Zip Crew showed up.
We worked in the W3WF for almost a year and a half and the jokes just kept
coming. Zippy had a love for messing with the rookies. Zippy had a
match close to the end of his W3WF career against new comer Mike Richards.
Zippy was tossed to the ground by Richards and the rookie went to work on
Zippy's left leg/knee. Richards was wrenching it, stretching it and making
tons of faces like he was using all of his strength to hurt Zippy, then he
caught a glance at Zippy. Zippy was sitting propped up on his right elbow
with a big grin on his face. He let out yawns and even lit an imaginary
cigar and began taking puffs from it.
About a month later,
I wound up getting hired by GCW, and it wasn't more than a month until Zippy and
the gang showed up.
In the opening paragraph I used the word "amazing"
to describe Zippy. Nobody has worked with Zippy more than I have and he
has his attitude a whole lot. When he began, he didn't take anything
serious, except jokes. People told him that he would end his career or
even his life if he continued to disrespect the fact that he could get hurt, but
he never listened. As he was in the business longer and longer, he became
more serious about his matches and aware of the fact that injury was imminent.
Finally, he finished the adaptations a few weeks into his GCW career. He
knew the best combination to use in his matches. He is a good wrestler,
but he still incorporates comedy into his matches. Who can forget his Kung
Fu chops and shin kicks along with his infamous nostril body slam from his
Television Title victory at Dangerous Games? Zippy's GCW career is beginning
to take off and he is climbing the ladder to the top. GCW's very own Kevin
Jacobs sat down with the Zip Crew and conducted an interview, which to say the
least, was funnier than hell. Remember, this interview was recorded by GCW
camera crews and was reviewed and written word for word. Actions are
indicated by words in between :: and ::.
enough to have the Zip Crew here today, to be interviewed. Ladies,
gentleman, and Stone thank you for coming.
Stone: No problem Kev.
Kevin Jacobs: Now, I have to ask, how did the four of you meet?
Stone: Well....actually, its a rather weird story. But to make
it short, I was training at a wrestling school in Canada, and they said they
would send me to a better place. I got aboard the wrong plane, and ended up
in Mianus. Unfortunately...I ended up running into Z here, and we got to be
decent friends...somehow. Gidget is a friend of Z's....if you couldn't already
tell, and Emma was a former babysitter of hers....and well, here we are.
Kevin Jacobs: Zippy, how long have you know Gidget and Stone?
Zippy: THERE'S NO TV IN HERE! AHHHHH!
Stone: Z....Z! ::Stone slaps him across the face:: Now answer
Mr. Jacobs question...
KJ: Zippy, let me ask you this, would you rather watch tv or be in
the GCW Magazine?
Zippy: Is Tom and Jerry in the Magazine too?
Stone: He'd want to be in the Magazine.
KJ: Please, let Zippy Answer.
Zippy: TV!
KJ: Do you make money watching TV?
Zippy: ....uh-uh
KJ: If you are in the magazine you get paid more for that month.
Stone: And Z, you know what more money means...
KJ: Then you can buy orange soda, buy Tom And Jerry Tapes and other
things.
Zippy: MORE ORANGE SODA!
KJ: So what do you want to do now?
Zippy: Me want to be in Magazine!
KJ: Albright, How long have you known Gidget and Stone?
Zippy: Uhmm...Gidget is my neighbor...and Stone only for a few
years...I think.
KJ: Ok. Have you and Gidget ever had feelings for each other?
Zippy: ...huh?
Stone: That's too complex for them to understand...
KJ: Have you ever liked Gidget?
Zippy: Yeah! I've always liked watching Tom and Jerry with-
Stone: Z, he doesnt mean like that...
KJ: Gidget, can you answer my question?
::Zippy and Gidget look ate each other:: Zippy/Gidget: EEEEW!
Stone: Hey Kev, I suggest you pass on that topic, heheh.
KJ: Ok. Zippy, how did you prepare yourself for your match against
Capo at Dangerous Games?
Zippy: Well....uhmm...Stone told me Tom and Jerry was gonna be
there and, and, I had to make them Happy and support
them...so...I...I....uhm...and they were there...and uhmm.....
Stone: Reverse Psychology...
KJ: Now, a scene from Dangerous Games was played after the Tag Team
Title match, in which Stone...............I mean Tom and Jerry came up to
you. What were your thoughts on that?
Zippy: I MET TOM AND JERRY!!!!! They...they...they said I did good!
KJ: Stone, do you have any comment?
Stone: Can we say...moron?
KJ: Zippy, you really liked Stone's slippers didn't you?
Zippy: Uh-huh!
KJ: They were on his FEET weren't they?
Zippy: Aren't they supposed to be...? I bet Tom and Jerry gave them to him
as a free gift for
helping me!
KJ: Right.......
KJ: ......Idiot........
Stone: True....true...
Zippy: Huh?!
KJ: Zippy, your recent victory over Capo allowed you to capture the
TV Title. How did you feel? What went through your mind when you
were handed that belt?
Zippy: I felt proud! Because I knew Tom and Jerry were happy,
and I knew I supported them more than Crappy Capo!
KJ: Stone, you placed yourself on the active roster, but we have not
seen you wrestle very much, why is this?
Stone: Ya know....that's a very good question...and why I have
yet to be in many events is beyond me...
Stone: And, yeah, Z needed my help with his match.
KJ: Do you think we might see you in action more in the coming
weeks?
Stone: I hope so...I'm getting a little rusty...
KJ: I will mention it to President Caldera.
Stone: Thanks, finally someone will do something for me.
KJ: Gidget.
Gidget: Huh..?
KJ: Have you ever thought about becoming an active wrestler?
Stone: That's a scary thought...
Gidget: MY QUESTION! Its no fair Zippy gets to wrestle and meat Tom and
Jerry and all that fun stuff! I WANT TO TOO!
KJ: Well, then talk to President Caldera about a women's division.
Gidget: Okie-dokie!
KJ: Emma, what was it like to baby-sit, Gidget?
Emma: I stopped when she turned around 12...and I'm glad!
KJ: Was it a regular occurrence that Zippy and Gidget would team up.
Emma: Yes....very.
KJ: Emma, did you and stone ever have feelings for each other?
Emma: Well, I'm not sure about him, but I really never felt
anything beyond friendship....
Stone: Same here....she's just one of the only sane people
around.
KJ: Ok, we are running out of time.
Stone: Well, it was nice to get our thoughts and stuff. We'll
see-ya around Kev.
