Remmy: "Yooooooooooooo! It's ya boy! Jin 'mothafuggin' Remmy! Aha! And we back with HitEmUp Radio here in the downtown area of Los Angeles, California, your #1 source for both wrestling news and interviews. Here with me today, I've got one of the legends in this business today. He's a personal friend of mine. You know him. He's the one you hate to love and love to hate..."
"What's my motha[bleep]in' name?!"
Remmy: "Haha. Tha Infamous 187. Welcome back to HitEmUp Radio. How you feelin'?"
"Feels good to be home. Been driving around the streets of LA and gettin' much love from fans everywhere I go. Really appreciate it. Had to swing by the station to see how it was going. Figured I'd do an interview while I was here too since it's been awhile since I've been in the public eye. So, you get the exclusive [bleep]."
Remmy: "Haha! Exclusive! We'll be taking questions from fans. So, that you the fans can ask Tha Infamous One himself what you want to know. Straight from the mouth of Tha Infamous One himself. We'll be taking calls and we've also got a hand full of questions sent in to the HitEmUp Radio website. The number again is... 310-***-****. Let's get it crackin'. Now, I'ma start things off with my own question... I haven't been in the game as long as you have. But you've had some really memorable matches in your time. What would you consider to be your greatest match of all time?"
"I get asked this question a lot and really... I don't really have one. I mean, I've still got a lot of miles left in this old dog so you never know... My greatest match probably hasn't even happened yet. If I had to hand pick a great match from my career? I'd reach into the history books and pluck out the SLAM!God title match back when I first started my rise to stardom."
Remmy: "I remember that match. Wasn't that the one you had with Brent Starr and Kyle Nobbs?"
"That would be the one. That match happened like... five or six years ago now. And it still makes people talk. It's probably one of the best matches I've had. It was just crazy. The crowd was live. I shot a call to Game and he came out to the show. Did One Blood on stage before I came out. It was great."
Remmy: "What're your thoughts on your opponents for that match?"
"I got a lot of respect for them dudes. It's actually a rare thing for me to have a match where I don't have any hatred for my opponents. You know how difficult it is for me to find a match where I ain't trying to hospitalize the competition? They don't come around too often here. Hahahahaha. "
Remmy: "Hahahaha. Yeah. Hahahahaha."
"Yeah. I got respect for them dudes, though. Nobbs got a lot heart. He got a lot of heart for being such a little dude in this biz. I was afraid I was going to hurt him in the ring. Ya know how I get down. I thought I was just going to end up crippling him. But he really surprised me with how well he brought it. When people say they going to bring their A-Game, that's a perfect example of someone doing it. I'll send a shout out to Nobbs wherever he is. I ain't seen him in a good long while. And then there was Brent Starr. He's another guy I got a lot of respect for in the biz. Always impressing me with what he does. One of the better new mouthpieces to grab a microphone. Some of the [bleep] he says on the mic just has me burst out laughing. They're both some pretty cool cats. I really enjoyed that match. All three of us put everything we had into it. By the end of the night, I was surprised any of us could still keep walking."
Remmy: "Cool, cool. So, when can we expect the rematch?"
"Hahahaha. Probably not any time soon. I'd love to have a rematch. That match alone being on the card would be enough to sell out tickets. We get a free ring with everyone having a free schedule and we can do it whenever. I'd be down for the rematch. Just for the Hell of it. Just for fun. We could do it again."
Remmy: "You're right about that. Somebody needs to make some phone calls and get this set up. I think the fans would love to see you three duke it out again in a rematch. Now, we've got the phones ringing off the hook over here. Let's take a call from someone and see what they got to say... Caller, you're on the air with Tha Infamous 187 and Jin Remmy here on HitEmUp Radio. What's your question?"
"It's Fatman Snoopy from Atlanta... 'Ayo 7. Why don't you wrestle more Hardcore matches? You should feel right at home with a weapon in ya' hands. And hell, they can't arrest you for it."
"Fatman Snoopy?"
Remmy: "Must be some kind of rap name or something."
"Why don't I wrestle more hardcore matches? That might be a question we need to ask the suits of the wrestling biz. I know I've been told on countless occasions that I've got to tone it down. I can't go out there and start wrapping steel chairs around my opponent's skulls every night because there wouldn't be anyone left to wrestle. I start putting everyone on the sidelines and people start getting too scared to get in the ring with me... It ain't good for business. I mean, I'm sure they could sell tickets and advertise that I'm just going to sit in the middle of the ring and read the phone book... And they'd still make a killing on it. But I haven't been in a lot of hardcore matches recently not because I don't want to be... That's what the people love me for... I just don't want to be scaring off what little competition is left and filling the local hospitals with the broken and battered bodies of my opponents. Ya know?"
Remmy: "We still have you reading the phone book, though? I'd pay to watch that. Hahahaha."
"Who wouldn't? I'd read the [bleep] out of that phone book."
Remmy: "Alright. Next question... Caller, you're on the air with Jin Remmy and Tha Infamous 187 on HitEmUp Radio. Whatcha got for us?"
My name is Mary K. from Saskatchewan... My son tries to emulate you even down to how he dresses and speaks. He's constantly getting into fights and he's even been getting in trouble with the law recently. Don't you feel as a man in public eye you should do something to deter your "fans" from being hooligans? You were given a 2nd chance, but others don't have that luck."
"Hooligans? Do people still use that word anymore?"
Remmy: "They must in Saskatchewan."
"Well Mary, that's a good question. What should I do? Should I tell my fans that what I do isn't cool? Should I admit that I've made mistakes? What should I do? Should I take responsibility because your kid mimics what he sees on TV? Or should I tell my fans... I am NOT a role model. What should I do? Should I accept my role as the villain? What should I do?"
Remmy: "Alright, Lebron. Get back on track here. Hahahaha."
"My bad. Hahahaha. But really now... What should I do? There are plenty of warning signs and announcements the wrestling industry puts up that tells kids not to try what we do at home. You will get hurt. It's my fault their kid sees me on television and wants to imitate me? I will admit... Yes. I'm famous. Yes. I do have fans. Yes. I do tend to do things that people enjoy and want to try out for themselves. Should they? That's not my responsibility. It's the parents job to figure out what their child sees and doesn't see. If you let your kids get a hold of my stuff... Then it's not my fault. I'm not in your house, showing your kid how to do this. But... Just to make you happy... Any of my fans out there listening? Don't try this at home. Don't imitate me. I am not a role model. 'Kay? Happy? Next question."
Remmy: "Caller, you're on the air with Tha Infamous 187 and Jin Remmy here on HitEmUp Radio. Whatcha wanna ask 'em?"
It's Jayquan from Newark... Yo, that Mary lady is trippin'. Her son is actin' like that cuz he wants to, not cuz you told him to. What you think about parent groups and politicians puttin' the blame on what's wrong in the world on stuff like wrestling, video games and music?"
"Parent groups and politicians can go [bleep] themselves. Like I just got done saying... It ain't my fault the parents can't be parents. You shouldn't have had kids, if you can't handle them. Wrestling specifically tells you not to try what we do at home. We've had way too many accidents because of kids trying to piledriver their little brother or sister. Or some idiot jumping off of a rooftop because he saw one of us jump off of a ladder. It's stupid. If you ain't going to practice and do this [bleep] right... You deserve to get hurt. If you ain't going to train for this and do it a hundred percent like us professionals... You deserve to be hurt. Parents... Watch your damn kids. They wouldn't do stupid [bleep] if you didn't let them. And for music and video games? That is an art form. Some people take the artistic liberty to make more mature content. If some idiot parent can't read the damn rating label... Then you're [bleep]in' stupid. And if the stores do it? Well, then someone should be fired for not carding the customer. Seriously... Don't blame us. Blame yourselves."
Remmy: "Real talk. I hate it when parents try to get out of their responsibility as a parent to make sure their kids don't get screwed up. Don't sit little Jimmy in front of the television all day and have Disney be your babysitter. Maybe they wouldn't be so dependent on us to teach them about the world. Anyways... Caller, you're on the air with Tha Infamous 187 and Jin Remmy here on HitEmUp Radio. What's your question?"
"I'm Harlon from Lexington... I'm and aspiring wrestler. I work local shows here in Kentucky, but I really think I have what it takes to make a name for myself. What do you think I should do to get some more exposure, and maybe land a developmental contract with one of the big boys?"
"Well, first off... Don't half ass it. That's the big thing to know. If you're going to do this thing... Give a hundred and ten percent. Then give more. There are two HUGE things that a successful wrestler must know. It's all about presence and performance. With presence, you got to know what works for you. If you're trying to be a bad guy and everyone is cheering for you... Then maybe you shouldn't be a bad guy. If you're a good guy and people are booing you... Maybe you should try to get the fans to hate you more. It's a double-edged sword. Sometimes the fans like you because you're bad, sometimes the fans boo you because you're good. It's all about how you make it work for you. Me? I personally go out there and I be myself. And I don't win everyone over, but I do have enough of a following to know I must be doing something right. And what's more important than presence...? Performance. You've got to be good at what you do before anyone takes you seriously. If you can't take a chop across the chest, you won't make it in this business. You need to learn the basics before you can do all that flashy junk that's popular now-a-days. So... Know who you are and how to work the crowds. That's key to popularity, whether the fans boo or cheer you. Any reaction is a good reaction. You don't want people falling asleep or leaving when you come out. And you got to know your [bleep]. You got to know what you're doing out there. If you can handle being in the ring, train more and get better. There's tons of new blood in the business right now. You need to sharpen your skills and set yourself apart from the pack. Give someone a reason why they should pick you above everyone else."
Remmy: "That's the truth. I didn't get into this business because I knew guys like 187 and Jayceon Williams. I got into the business because someone gave me a chance and I showed them what I could do. They liked me and thought I would be a blast to have in the ring. Now, I get e-mails from promotions all the time asking me to come wrestle for them. You need to work hard Harlon. It's a long, uphill battle, but only the strong survive in this business. Remember that. Caller, you're on the air with Tha Infamous 187 and Jin Remmy here on HitEmUp Radio. Whattup?"
"Yo! It's Shanae'nae from Los Angles... WHY YOU AIN'T ANSWERIN' MY CALLS, NIGGA!!! You know this baby is yours. He got yo' eyes, nigga!!!"
Remmy: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."
*CLICK*
"Ah, [bleep]."
Remmy: "What the Hell was that all about, nyukka?"
"Crazy ass woman from back in my Familia days. I got a restraining order against this psycho because she keeps claiming this kid of hers is mine. [bleep]in' out of her mind because I ain't ever touched the chick. If anything, it's probably Buck's kid. He's the one who banged pretty much the entire entourage of groupies every town we rolled into. She got this crazy idea that the kid is mind. Pfft. Just 'cause the kid got blue eyes don't make it mine."
Remmy: "You take a paternity test?"
"Well, no. I ain't trying to be in the same room with her because I cannot stress enough how crazy this chick is. She's like some Killer Kung Fu Wolf [bleep]. Talkin' all this crazy [bleep] about how she was raised by wolves and knows White Lotus martial arts. Talkin' all this crazy [bleep] about this Kumite [bleep] she do. Seriously... The chick scares the Hell out of me. And she got this bizarre delusion in her head that I'm the baby's daddy. This ain't the first time, either. Every once in awhile, I get chick's saying I'm the kid's father and I'm like... I ain't ever touch you, woman! It's probably Buck's. I don't [bleep]in' know."
Remmy: "Sounds like some prime material for an episode of Jerry Springer. I think that's about enough of the phone calls we should be taking tonight. Now, let's dig into the HitEmUp mail and see what fans online want to ask Tha Infamous One... The first one reads..."

Dear 187/Adrian Taylor,
I was just curious as to who inspirations are for yourself? Other wrestlers, people of music, anyone at all? Thank you for your time.
Bou

Remmy: "Oh snap! I didn't know Bou was a listener to HitEmUp Radio!"
"Bou?"
Remmy: "Yeah, nyukka. Bou. Wait. What? You don't know who Bou is?"
"Can't say that I do. Enlighten me."
Remmy: "She's this smokin' hawt Japanese model. I'll have to show you some magazines later. And she's a fan of yours? Un-fuggin-believable. Lucky ass nyukka."
"Damn. I got famous fans. Hahaha. Anyways... Well Bou, I grew up watching a lot of the old school legends like a lot of others did. Guys like New Jack and Steve Austin were some of the reason why I liked this business. They showed me you can do this and still be one of the toughest S.O.Bs to be walking the planet. I originally got into the business because of some less than respectable motives. There was a guy who I didn't like that got into the business and I got in because I wanted to kick his teeth in. Some of y'all might remember him under the name Criminal. But inspirations for why I keep doing this? I guess I would have to say fans like you are the reason why I keep lacing up my boots every night. If it wasn't for you fans, there wouldn't be an Infamous 187. And I appreciate all the people who come out and chant my name and get me riled up and let me do what I do best in that ring."
Remmy: "You gonna make a nyukka cry, you keep talking all this sentimental junk Hahaha. Alright. We got another question here."

Dear HitEmUp Radio,
Why did 187 disappear for a while and went under the name Mikey Knox.
Dorian L.
Dear HitEmUp Radio,
Why did 187 disappear for a while and went under the name Mikey Knox.
Dorian L.
Remmy: "Yeah. That's something I've always been curious about too. Why did you do that?"
"Well... First off, Dorian... The name was Mickey Knox. Not Mikey. Simple mistake though. People always kept confusing it with that big bearded dude Mike Knox. And I guess I did it because I just had to lay low for awhile... I wanted to slip under the radar and see if you guys were paying any attention. I grew my hair out. I dyed it blonde. I grew a goatee. Started talking different and acting different. No one seemed to notice. It was almost like I was a completely different... person. It's not easy being Tha Infamous One. Fans seemed to love it. I got a real reaction out of people as Mickey Knox. Guess I'm good whether I'm being myself or... I'm someone else."
Remmy: "Cool, cool. I didn't fuggin' know it was you. I sort of saw the scars and I was like... No. It couldn't be him. He never would grow his hair out like that, let alone dye it."
"Yeah. I had everyone fooled. Hahahaha."
Remmy: "Damn sure did. Let a nyukka know next time! Alright. Next question we got here is..."

Dear 187,
What are your views on Kenji Katana?
Tato X.
Dear 187,
What are your views on Kenji Katana?
Tato X.
Remmy: "Oh fugg'. My bad."
"Damn straight, your bad. Don't you filter trash in your e-mails? Hahahaha."
Remmy: "I guess I will have to for next time. Hahaha."
"I got this, though. What are my views on Kenji Katana? He's just like any other big mouth with an overinflated ego who gets in waaay over their head when they grow a pair and try to take on one of the big dogs in the game. He talks too much. That's all he is. A bunch of talk. He hasn't done a single thing to prove he's in my league. He's making the same mistake that a lot of others have made with me. He has this assumption that I won't hurt him or I won't put my hands on him. Come on now. You're supposed to know me better than that Katana. You should know full well what I'm capable of. Yet, you still want to poke and prod the bull? Don't run home crying to mama when you get the horns. Katana is just another stepping stone like all my past enemies. Next question."
Remmy: "Give that nyukka the MG treatment! Hahaha! These nyukkas just don't know! Alrighty then. The next one reads..."

Dear 187,
Whatever happened to W.K.Y.A? Or FamTV? Why did those go off the air? I used to love those broadcasts! You should definitely bring these back if you can. Thanks!
Sho K.
Dear 187,

Sho K.
Remmy: "Because they would put me out of a job? Hahahaha."
"Hahahaha. Nah. I'd give you work, fool. W.K.Y.A and FamTV. Ahh. Good times, good times. Why don't we do those anymore? Well, it was a collective effort. I mean, I guess I could personally do it. I could sit here and start reading off names and numbers from this phone book and do all kinds of crazy and funny stuff here. But it's not the same without the whole 'Family' around, ya know? That's what was so cool about those things is that everyone would show up and just say some of the most random junk you've ever heard. You should see half the junk that was written down that we couldn't air because it was just waaaay too vulgar for airwaves. We'd need to go out into international waters or something and do a pirate station for half the stuff we wanted to do on there. We were lucky we got away with what we did because we already had the FCC in our ears every night telling us to tone it down. It was fun while it lasted, but like every good thing... It had to come to an end. We got HitEmUp Radio here, though. So, that's a plus. Surprised Remmy here ain't get shut down yet."
Remmy: "I get letters, nyukka. Everyday telling me I gotta stop doing this and stop saying that. Fuggin' FCC. Anyways, we got one more question here..."

Dear Fam,

Remmy: "Oh snap! Speak of the fuggin' Devil! Hahaha!"
"Goddamn Fam! Hahaha! Shout out to my [bleep]in' 'Family', Buck! Hahaha! Damn. I ain't expect to hear from him in forever. Guess them boys are still out there! Hahaha."
Remmy: "What's this photo he's talking about?"
"Oh, there was this General Manager we had back when we were doing shows up in Toronto. This General Manager was named Richard Hughes or some [bleep]. I don't remember. We used to clown this guy all the time and he got soooooo mad at us. Oh, man. Hahaha. This one time... Ended up shoving a broomstick up the old dude's ass while he wasn't looking. I tell ya... We were so close to being fired for some of the backstage hi-jinks me and Buck got in trouble doing. That's my 'Fam' forever, though. Always pulling pranks on the uptight suits of the business. We going to have to chat again, Buck. Been way too long. Hahaha. I got the photo. Locked away in a safe with all the other 'precious' memories. Hahahaha."
Remmy: "Bad mothafuggas. Hahahaha. Anyways, I'm being told we're out of time here on HitEmUp Radio. It was awesome having you on the show, nyukka. You'll have to stop by again sometime."
"No doubt."
Remmy: "I'm Jin 'mothafuggin' Remmy. That was Tha Infamous 187. This was HitEmUp Radio. If you don't know, now ya know... NYUKKA! Smoke one! And here's Janet with the weather report..."
