Busted Open interview

Interview0 Comments

Ray sits down with Busted Open Radio to discuss TNA, fans and six sided wrestling rings.

I sent out a tweet an hour ago asking the fans what they want to see. 33 Retweets for the 4 side, 262 favorites for the 6 sided, so it looks like the fans that follow me want to see that 6 sided ring back. I think that’s one of the cool things about TNA how they will listen to fans opinions.

Piper’s Pit interview

Interview0 Comments

Ray is a guest on Piper’s Pit to discuss TNA, WWE and his origins in wrestling with Johnny Rodz.

Johnny Rodz. Johnny broke in me and my partner. Johnny was never the main event guy but he was the guy that you earned your stripes with in the ring. At any given moment he could tie you into a knot and he’d break you in right there on the spot.

It’s very important for companies to do things like that. It keeps it interesting for people and it keeps people into wrestling across the board. Nobody really, in wrestling, is knocking them dead right now and selling out every arena.

Wrestling101.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Ray talks about his singles career in TNA:

In the tag team world I was used to being in extremely high profile matches all over the world. So to become a high profile singles star I’m already used to the pressure and I’m able to channel that pressure into my performances. The only difference is now it’s all on me; it’s all on my shoulders from a total performance point of view. In a tag team match if you need a break or a breather you can always look to your partner and tag out but as a singles wrestler you can’t do that.

Birth0 Comments

Ray (Mark LoMonaco) is born in Queens, NY. He becomes a fan of tag team wrestling through watching the Road Warriors.

The Road Warriors, in my opinion, the greatest team of all time. But I wouldn’t pay money to see Hawk wrestle in singles competition.
