MEET THE NERDS: MAT CARLSON

Writer's picture: WSBFWSBF


HOW DID YOU JOIN THE GROUP?


Dom screened the whole population of Australia before choosing myself and Hannah, then flying me over to join the group.


WHAT IS YOUR TRADEMARK?


My trademark? I look quite similar to Drew McIntyre.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PROMOTION?


My favourite promotion at the moment is MCW, right now its the closest thing i've got to recreating the regular PROGRESS visits back in the UK.


FUNNIEST NERD GROUP MOMENT?


My funniest nerd moment features Ross, but Ross wasn't there. Day two strong style at Ally Pally, Mike shows me a photo late in the night after day one of Ross in a very unfortunate position down the bottom of his stairs after over indulging - missing that show.


He nonchalantly walks in day three asking "Who's ready for day 2?" I guess its a two part funniest moment.


IF YOU COULD ADD ANYONE TO THE GROUP, WHO WOULD IT BE?


I'd add in Jim Smallman once he's left progress, i'd love him to be privvy to some of the fan group rants.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE VENUE?


Electric Ballroom for sure!


IF YOU COULD ADD ANY RULE TO THE SHOT ROUND WHAT WOULD IT BE?


I'd add in a new rule... under no circumstance can you hold a little plastic shot like an absolute penis with your thumb and pinky finger.


CREATE THE PERFECT NERD GROUP MEMBER...


The perfect nerd member looks like this. Looks of Jake, humour of Rob, wrestling knowledge of Ross, drinking ability of Dom (mixed with Ross' ability to wind up in rare situations) and run a WEEKLY podcast named 'Wrestling For Attention'.


WHO WOULD WIN THE NERD GROUP RUMBLE AND HOW?


I reckon Sam or Lee Wezz. Their ability to rock in whenever they like could translate into a Rumble nicely. Maybe just jump in right at the end and create the upset?


HOPES AND FEARS FOR NERD GROUP 2020?


I hope the nerd group will not be brought to its knees as it starts to really feel the hole that has been left to Hannah and I.


My only legitimate fear is that if PROGRESS were to lose its identity in the future - where would the nerds turn?
