A
double-dose of Ring of Honor goodness is headed the Two Man Power Trip of
Wrestling's way today as John and Chad are joined by both members of the former
C&C Wrestle-Factory Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander.
Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander On How The C&C Wrestle Factory
Was Formed:
The FOLLOWING ARE EXCERPTS FROM CAPRICE COLEMAN'S portion of the
episode:
Training with Matt and Jeff Hardy:
Some guys were wrestling outside on a ring that was in a yard and this
was like actually the first time I had ever been in a wrestling ring and was
excited. It was Matt and Jeff Hardy who were the trainers but it was way before
they were famous and so they were trying to have their own little wrestling
promotion and this way even way before OMEGA and I was their referee. I refereed
their matches because they would travel a lot of places and back then Matt and
Jeff were pretty much just wrestling each other or Matt vs. Joey so we had a
handful of people and wrestled a different kind of style. I would go on the road
and referee the match because a lot of refs couldn't keep up with the matches
going on. Shannon Moore was the other small guy and it's funny because when he
started out he was a lot bigger than I was and when I hit my growth spurt I was
bigger than him.
Looking at the crop of talent that came out of Omega
At the beginning I had no idea because I was just somebody that wanted
to train to wrestle. I just happened to fall into a place where I was among
greatness. I slowly began to realize it because refereeing when you travel from
place to place with Matt and Jeff when it was not a show that we put on, the way
they treated them was kind of different. A lot of people wanted to work with
them and then didn't want to work with them. I would notice when somebody from
OMEGA worked somebody from OMEGA we would steal the show. When we worked with
other people they had a hard time working with us and we caught a lot of flack
because people would say we worked spotty or we are just a high flyer. A lot of
times we were the spotty guys and everyone that we wrestled were trained the old
school wrestling way. We were way ahead of our time.
Wrestlers not being able to keep up with the OMEGA crew:
It was a Catch 22 because for the most part some of them couldn't keep
up but as time went on we just had to slow down a little bit. It made a lot of
our careers last a lot longer. That's why I've been here for twenty years and am
in phenomenal condition because we've been able to adjust and find a happy
medium where we can still be who we are but still last as long as some of us
have.
Writing his own theme music:
I was given a new theme song when they broke up C&C Wrestle Factory
and it didn't have any words to it. The producer said this is your song and the
first time I heard the song it was playing during a match I was supposed to be
in and I was actually just waiting for the C&C Wrestle Factory music and
they said that's your song now go out and I was like okay but it didn't have
words to it. I said I liked the beat but if you want to put words to it let me
know. A good friend of mine raps and I do hype man type stuff and he wrote the
rap and I wrote the chorus and we put it down. Then we were kidding around about
making a music video and laughed it off but we then we ended up having the
ability to do it and we did and it came out pretty good.
