Arguably one of the more popular wrestlers in CCW Today Chris Ryder continues his reign as CCW Television Champion. After succesfully competing in his 1st ever The Cell match, Ryder was able to defeat The Method Man Mad Micheal Morrison. OCWFED.NET managed to sit down with the rising star of CCW and discuss his current popularity.

 

How did you get started in CCW?

 

Chris Ryder

"Damn, now that's going back a bit, I think I first signed with CCW back in ... March? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was it. But getting there was no easy task, I had to go through a lot of crap just to get over here from the UK"

 

"Back in England, there was this tournament going on, people from all over the country were going to be there, the winner would get a free ticket to try-out over in the US for a contract at one major Promotion, I thought I was miles away from getting something like that since I was in an unknown little Promotion at the time in South Yorkshire"

 

"But then came the news while I was in the middle of my match with Tommy "The Train" Johnson, apprently someone from down south had heard about me and came to watch me against Tom. There was all sorts of spec. going around about how he was gonna' put me in the tournament"

 

"So after the match, I still have no clue who this man is or why he's here. So I go about my daily duty and grab my gear to pack up and head back home, but out of nowhere, on my way out; this man pops up next to the door"

 

"He starts telling me about this great tournament down South and how I have what it takes Etc. You know the drill, hype them up and get them to accept. So I thought "hell yeah" I'd always wanted to leave the country and try-out in the US or Japan and that was my chance so I took it"

 

"Skip forward a bit and I end up pulling off the biggest upset over the 300 pound "The Bull" Harry Jones with a Possum Pin, which gave me a free choice of three different major promotions over here in the United States. The other two choices were extremly temping, but in the end I chose CCW because it was new and would be full of fresh talent"

 

"So I came over, signed the contract and the rest ... is history really"

 

How does it feel being one of the original pioneers of the REvolution that is CCW?

 

Chris Ryder

"It feels like a great honour, I get to claim a place in the CCW History Books. And I've only been here for a few months now, so as you might have guessed it's all going by really fast"

 

"But at least there are others who know what I'm going through right now, you have Deano Horse, Carlos Cruz, Nathan Gaines and a few more who I can't remember off the top of my head. We've all been on this ride from the get go and there's been so many twists and turns, you tend to get lost on the way"

 

"But as long as we all stick together and keep CCW going, we'll be fine I think"

 

Being LHW have you felt the need to bulk up despite being a Television Champion?

 

Chris Ryder

"No, I've said this since the get-go. I've always been a dedicated Lightweight, that's the main reason I teamed up with Gaines, Strider and Reed. We're all annoyed by the fact that half of CCW has given in to this fad of needing to be a Heavyweight to survive, well if that's true, then how am I the Television Champion? How is it that both Strider and Reed are Tag Champions? Because we fight with pride, not weight advantage"

 

What do you think attributes to your success?

 

Chris Ryder

"My family ... and my friends back in England, without them I wouldn't be talking to you right now. My father taught me everything I know about Wrestling and how to honour it as if it were a member of the family itself. I used to practice every day after school with my friends, they got bored of it and I didn't, so I kept going from there"

 

"My uncle was another factor, he always told me to do the best I can for the fans. And I will never forget the times we spent together, he was a major factor in me holding this gold right now ... and I thank him for that"

 

Mostly considered the underdog in any defense what do you say to your detractors?

 

Chris Ryder

"I say grow a pair and start watching the sport for the talent and not the appreances, because they can be deceiving. I don't give up because some person who doesn't even watch my matches, thinks I can't pull off the victory. I feed off of there criticism, which ironicly, helps me win"

 

"Thanks assholes {laughs}"

 

Where do you see yourself in 3 months?.

Chris Ryder

"I can't honestly tell you, every week something changes around here and I'm forced to change focus every five minutes. All I can do is hope I'll be just as good as I am now, maybe better"

 

"Heck, I may be in an CCW Title match. Thats how fast paced this place can be at times, but I love that about CCW. And I'm happy to call it my home"
