I'd like to say thank you again to Shannon Ward for being so gracious as to answer my questions.All the best to her. This interview is exclusive to Dead Scream and was conducted by the web girly, me. Jessica: Firstly congratulations on your marriage, all the best to you both. Thank you for your time in answering the questions, it is truly appreciated wicked badly. Shannon: Thank you for taking the time, Jess. Jessica: Now that you've had a taste of it, is wrestling a route you'd like to pursue presently? Shannon: Most definitely. Jessica: From magazine articles and your site we know of you love of playing soccer. Could you tell us a little more about the soccer teams you are playing on? Shannon: I play on a co-ed soccer team with my husband on Sunday nights, and a ladies indoor team on Thursdays. Jessica: Your wrist and back pieces are stunning, have you collected anymore pieces since you were last on WCW television? Shannon: Nope, I only have the two. Jessica: If you were able to choose, would there be a specific character you would like to play on film, or one you'd like to create custom for yourself? Shannon: I think the smaller eccentric characters in film are much more interesting to perform and watch. I don't see myself playing one specific character, but a wide variety over a long period of time. Jessica: Here's another wrestling question, this is in regards to WWF purchasing WCW, taking into consideration the dangling fate of ECW, do you see the purchase as a good thing? Shannon: Hopefully it will be a great opportunity for the wrestlers. Jessica: We all know and enjoy the screaming, do you need to warm up before you go out? Shannon: A little, but not much because I didn't want the fans to hear. Jessica: Because it appeared seamless on television, getting out there and wahey, volume, and is it taxing on your vocal cords? Shannon: On the odd occasion I would get a little sore, but it was usually gone by the next day. Jessica: Were you given any warning before you were released? Shannon: Nope. Jessica: What is your favourite, non-sporting activity? Shannon: I love to read. I like horror, fiction based on fact, true crime, political books, and really anything that can hold my interest. I also love to see live music, and since I have a husband who plays live almost every weekend, it works out very well. Jessica: Have you ever had a truly bizarre fan experience? Shannon: No, not bizarre. But one time I met these two girls in Fort Wayne, IN, and they were dressed up like me. They brought me a wand and some bubbles, and also showed me a scrapbook. They were awesome, and it was a really cool experience! I gave them some photos and thanked them. I was flattered. Jessica: I read on your site that you played the cello, do you still? Shannon: Not really. Jessica: Also do you enjoy the bands Rasputina and/or Darling Violetta who concentrate muchly on cello's in a heavy flair? Rasputina particularly which consists of a drummer and three chairs. Shannon: Sorry, I like to think I'm pretty hip with the music scene, but I've never heard of them. Thank you again for your time in answering the questions, I would have loved to ask some actual intelligent ones. Unfortunately too much work makes my thoughts hinky. :) jessica who's last name is actually ward as well, Take care Thanks Jessica! What a cool last name you have!
