Jason Allgood interview

Jason Allgood interview
by Joshua Shibata and Lonnie Hill

JOSH: All right we’re with Jason Allgood, the Mexican Lucha Libre Heavyweight Champion of Rev Pro.

LONNIE: May I mention he is the only Lucha Libre champion billed from Mexico as he is from Brittany Spear’s beach house in Mexico.

JOSH: Not only is he the Mexican Champion he is the first Jewish Mexican Champion. What’s up Allgood?

ALLGOOD: What’s up man?

JOSH: Not much man. So let me first ask, What is up with the Brittany Spear’s thing? That is just scary man.

LONNIE: It’s funny.

JOSH: It’s funny but it’s on the verge of stalking.

LONNIE: How did you come up with that?

ALLGOOD: Well the original idea for the Brittany Spears thing was I was teaming up with Ryan McBain and we were a tag team, All Good n’ tha Hood, and he was doing the hardcore, big, angry black man gimmick and I tried to do the opposite of it.

JOSH: The scared white boy thing?

ALLGOOD: Yea, so I basically did the Brittany Spears thing and I thought it would be totally opposite. And I am totally into Brittany Spears because I am a Brittany Spears mark.

JOSH: Seriously in real life?

ALLGOOD: Yea, actually I’ll show you guy something.

LONNIE: Uh oh this is from the private collection of Jason Allgood

JOSH and LONNIE: OOOOHHHHHH

(Allgood reveals a picture of Brittany taped to the inside of his wallet)

ALLGOOD: And it just took off, I came up with a bunch of other Brittany ideas and it just blew up from there.

JOSH: Now when you say you’re a Brittany mark, it’s because of her looks right not the music?

ALLGOOD: Dude, I have all of her CDs. I’m pretty stoked about her.

JOSH: all right this interview is over.

LONNIE: I heard he has a bunch of bootlegs
to.

JOSH: Dude this is sick.

LONNIE: All right I have a standard RF video shoot type question. How did you get started in the wrestling business?

ALLGOOD: Well I was a rat I blew all the boys. No just kidding.

(Everyone busts out laughing)

LONNIE: Dude we’re putting that in. We’re not editing any of this.

JOSH: Yea it’s going in.

LONNIE: Oh this interview is done.

ALLGOOD: Uhm I was just a mark like everyone else. I went to all the shows, watched TV watched Superstars Saturday morning. Uhm it was something I always wanted to do and me and
my friends in high school, actually Ryan McBain is actually my best friend in real life it’s legit. And we use to wrestle each other in high school uhm bunch of that crap and then I went to the Monster Factory in New Jersey and trained there for a while….

LONNIE: That’s Larry Sharpe’s Monster Factory.

JOHN: Yea Sharpe’s Monster Factory in 1997.

ALLGOOD: Dude you’ve been reading your Rev Pro interviews.

JOSH: yes I have. That was a good interview.

LONNIE: This will be better.

ALLGOOD: And basically I wrestled some shows out there and then moved back to California.

LONNIE: How did you get started in United Independent Wrestling Alliance and Doc Marlee and all that shit?

ALLGOOD: Uhm…I keep bringing up his name again but uhm Ryan McBain I hooked up with him. And uh I worked the show and uhm Ryan McBain needed a tag team partner so he brought
me in because I guess it was a natural fit because we were best friend and had good chemistry together.

LONNIE: You said you were a mark when you were a kid who did you mark out for?

ALLGOOD: One of the first guys I have ever seen was Ric Flair and I thought he was cool and I still think he’s awesome. I was a big mark for Shawn Michaels, big mark for Randy Savage.

JOSH: SO basically all the high flyers.

ALLGOOD: Well yea, Bret Hart, Ricky Steamboat.

JOSH: Steamboat is the man.

ALLGOOD: There are so many guys and it just grew it just became generic. I’m a big mark for B-Boy.

(B-Boy walks onto the scene)

LONNIE: Oh my god it’s blazin Benny Chong.

ALLGOOD: I’m a big mark for him. Blazin Benny Chong and I have had some great matches and I enjoy working with him.

B-BOY: B-Boy that’s me.

ALLGOOD: B-Boy. Actually I have never had a match with Benny Chong. And Primetime Peterson, big mark for him.

B-BOY: UIWA. We go back long way, right?

ALLGOOD: Way back.

LONNIE (About B-Boy): He’s drinking a red bull may I add. How the hell could you drink that stuff?

JOSH: Because it gives you wings man. (To Allgood) Now you’ve wrestled on the east coast and the west coast anywhere else you would like to wrestle?

ALLGOOD: Uhm I just want to wrestle anywhere, everywhere and anywhere.

JOSH: So any other wrestlers that you’ve enjoyed working with like B-Boy?

ALLGOOD: Yea I enjoyed working with B-Boy. I just had a match with Pinoy Boy, which I really enjoyed. I’ve liked my matches with Matt Sinister, I thought they’ve all been pretty good. I’ve….uhm I’m trying to think of some guys that stick out at the top of my head. I don’t know I still think that my best matches are still to come, I still don’t think I’ve had my best match yet.

JOSH: Yea because you’ve only been in the business for what, five years?

ALLGOOD: Not even. I’ve only been wrestling for maybe a year and a half pretty consistently.

JOSH: Well in the news right now there had been some controversy with Ric Bassman and UPW and how he doesn’t want some of his talent working some indy shows. It’s understandable
that UPW is the WWF’s development territory and Bassman doesn’t want his men to get hurt before a big WWF show. So what do you think about this, do you think it’s a power play by Ric Bassman?

ALLGOOD: Uhm I could understand that . I could understand his point of view on it. It makes sense to me. Why would he want to risk Frankie Kazarian breaking a leg in front of an indy crowd when he could be performing in front of 20,000 people in the WWF?

JOSH: All right well right now in the WWF there is this whole merging with the WCW and ECW. Do you think that has a huge impact on the indies now because now there is basically only one huge source for wrestlers to make it big?

ALLGOOD: I think it sucks for the morale a little bit but for the most part, I think it ups the competition. You’ll see better matches because they want to make their names and get their name out there. So I think it’s good overall.

JOSH: So do you think any one will pop up to compete with McMahon and be the number two or do you even think any of the indies here in California could become the number two federation?

ALLGOOD: Uhm probably no, because no one has the money to do it. You never know, you never know.

JOSH: Very true. Where do you see yourself in five years?

ALLGOOD: Uhm…hopefully being happy. Hopefully doing the wrestling thing, just having fun in my life.

JOSH: So what do you do in your spare time out of the ring?

ALLGOOD: Uhm…I don’t know, me and my friends pull pranks on each other just being kids.

JOSH: Any funny stories you want to share?

ALLGOOD: Uhm..ok here’s a story. Uhm a couple of days ago I blew a fire extinguisher into my friends face. You know just being schmucks. Being myself.

JOSH: So out of all the indies that you’ve worked in, which of them have you had the best experiences from?

ALLGOOD: Uhm…I like them all for their own different reasons. I mean like today it’s cool to be at the MPW show because I’ve been wrestling at Rev Pro the last couple of weeks and it’s cool to see a bunch of new faces.

JOSH: And wrestling new talent you might have never had the chance to wrestle before?

ALLGOOD: Yea it’s cool and meeting new fans and new people.

JOSH: SO how did you feel when you were told you were going to be the Mexican Lucha Libre Title?

ALLGOOD: Well I wasn’t told, I just got lucky that Matt Sinister got distracted in the ring and I was able to roll him up. Uhm it was actually a humbling and good experience I was really stoked.

JOSH: Especially considering you really aren’t Mexican. So any dream opponents you would like to wrestle here in Socal?

ALLGOOD: Just anybody I haven’t faced. I would like to wrestle everybody. It would be cool, every time is a new experience.

JOSH: How about in the history of wrestling a dream opponent?

ALLGOOD: Uhm I’ll give ya three, Ric Flair, Brian Pillman or Owen and Bret Hart.

JOSH: all right good luck tonight with your match at MPW and hope you have a good run with your Mexican Title in Rev Pro.

ALLGOOD: Thanks you very much.
