TNA Wrestler James Storm, one half of tag team Beer Money has an interview with Matt Price of News OK . Here are a few highlights;
Tell me about your current tag team, Beer Money.
Me and Robert started out, I was wrestling Sting and I think he was wrestling Booker T at the time. TNA didn’t really know what to do with us after our feud with those guys. So, they asked us about teaming up. It just happened, me and Robert had wrestled each other a lot, as he was part of Team Canada and I was part of America’s Most Wanted.
But when they asked us to team up, we said, well, we’ll give it a shot. We said, if we’re going to be a team, we need to at least have a tag-team name, and I was just sitting around, and I overheard somebody say they needed some beer money, and it just fit. And I said, ‘That’s our name, right there. Because I drink all the beer, and your character makes all the money.’
And we went to Vince Russo and pitched him the name. He loved it, and off we went.
Origin of Americas Most Wanted:
It’s a long story, but when me and Chris (Harris) were first teaming up, before we even teamed up, we were working up with a guy named Bert Prentice in Nashville, and Bert came up to me and said, ‘You keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to wind up on ‘America’s Most Wanted.’ And I thought, that could be a good tag-team name. So me and Chris talked about it, and I pitched him the idea and he liked it, and that’s how that got started.
What do you do to prepare yourself before a match?
I drink beer. I’m actually at the Jack Daniels distillery right now. This is how I enjoy my time off.
