One athlete that has not been given the proper credit he deserves is Quarterz.

From the very start, Quarterz has shown the enthusiasm that many can support. Whether it be in the ring or out, Quarterz is a humble, respectable and caring individual. If you have seen Quarterz in the ring you will know that he is not the kind of guy that you can easily push around. Although his finisher might smash out his opponents faces, he promised us that he wouldn't need to land the 'Loose Change' on any of us during this interview.

First off, why did you choose Quarterz as your wrestling name? Does the name carry outside of the wrestling world for you?

Well, the name Quarterz is something that was given to me around high school. Back then I wasn't the nicest person around and I was into lots of crazy things that would not make a lot of people proud. When I am not in the park wrestling, I am Juan. However, when I step on to that mat, I become Quarterz. They are two different attitudes and two very different people. If I was Quarterz 24/7, people would be in a lot of trouble. But as far as a meaning, that's for me to know and you to never find out.

What's life like outside of WFA? What does Quarterz do to get by in life? Does your job help you in any way with your wrestling?

Life for me outside of WFA is basically working and hanging out when ever I can with people from WFA or friends at work. I'm a huge game freak and still play my NES Original and Sega Master System. I also try to catch UFC as much as I can. In my job I speak to people a lot and I use that as a way to make my promos better. To be able to speak and get your point across to a crowd clearly is a very important part of storytelling.

What inspired you to become a wrestler? Who were some of the all time greats that you used to love watching and what do you feel you have incorporated into your own style?

Wrestling has always played a big role in my life. I lost my parents when I was little and lived with my great grandma who was a huge wrestling fan. Her favorite was Pedro Morales and for some reason Leaping Lanny Poffo, the brother of Randy Savage. Pedro was like the Spanish version of Bruno Sanmartino. Growing up I was a big fan of Macho Man and Hogan of course, but then I discovered Ric Flair and have been a fan of him ever since. Growing up and learning more I started to become a fan of wrestling. I was into Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels, and Bret Hart just to name a few. As for who I incorporate into my style, I enjoy learning from Johnny Saint, Eddie Guerrero, big guys like Kevin Steen, Nigel McGuinness,and Takashi Morimosha. I love the japan strong style of wrestling but that would be too many people to list here.

Within WFA, who are your all time favorite people to work with? Who do you wish you could work with more?

In WFA, I really enjoy working with everyone. It's a challenge with every person I step in there with. Danny Draiman is really good and we put on good solid matches. Me and Twistid also put on a good show for two big guys. Me and Joey Spade will always pull out a good fast pace match. I think I wrestled Joey Spade over 30 times, no joke. I am really looking forward to working with everyone that I can. Sinister is some one I think people will like for me to go with. I think we will have good chemisty in the ring plus I like his style. But the person I am really looking forward to working with is probably my favorite WFA wrestler Jesse West. I just hope he is ready cause its bound to happen.

Do you see yourself as one day being WFA Heavyweight Champion? Who do you think would be the toughest opponent that would stand in your way of winning the title?

If you don't wanna be a champ, if you don't wanna be on top and hold the belt then you shouldn't do this, point blank. It will happen one day, but I gotta pay my dues and earn it . Everything I got in this life I earned it all the hard way and the WFA belt is no different. And I think the toughest opponent that will stand in my way is probably gonna Sinister. He and I have more in common then people may think. We both graduated from the school of hard knocks and our styles contrast.

Will 2009 be the year of Quarterz?

Will 2009 be my year, I don't know. In wrestling nothing is ever 100% sure. But the fans can be sure that I will give 100% to put on a good show and leave you with something you will remember. You need to be humble in wrestling and you don't wanna bite your own tongue. I will work hard and see where it takes me. But 2009 is definitely the year of the lucha thug and I just hope everyone is ready.
