2006 CIW Wrestler of the Year and 1/2 of the Tag-Team of the Year, "Krazy K" Kirby Mack Conducted at CWF/AWA Mid Atlantic Burlington, NC Saturday, December 2, 2006 - Carolina Independent Wrestling was proud to be able to interview the 2006 CIW Wrestler of the Year, 1/2 of the Tag-Team of the Year and former AWA Light Heavyweight Champion "Krazy K" Kirby Mack at the AWA Showcase in Burlington, NC on December 2, 2006. On this night, Mack went into a Ladder Match as the Disputed AWA Light Heavyweight Champion, but his brother, T.J. Mack, turned on him and claimed the Light Heavyweight Championship for himself. To see the CIW report from that night, Click Here. CIW: You were the first light Heavyweight Champion since the AWA reformed in the modern era. You won a big tournament with 30 guys who are the best of the best Cruiserweights in the world including Shannon Moore in the finals. How does it feel to not only be the first champion, but to win it in a tournament where you beat some of the best cruiserweights in the world? KM: Being able to go up against guys like Ricky Reyes, Jerelle Clark, Shannon Moore and all those guys that I did face, that was just an honor in itself, then being able to advance and pull through to win the tournament after the long hiatus of the AWA Light Heavyweight status that it had, and to be able to be crowned champion, it was like Christmas morning all over again. It was a great feeling. CIW: You’ve been on TNA. Do you feel that that is better fit for your style of wrestling versus WWE? KM: I think what TNA is looking for versus what WWE is looking for; definitely me and my brother (or whoever they take) would fit in there better with them having the X-Division we could fit in there and do X-Division stuff. Smaller guys, as long as they look in shape….the jacked up David versus Goliath thing they don’t really do in TNA, they give everybody an equal chance, so yeah, I think we would fit in there perfect. A lot better than at the Fed….for now. CIW: So far, what’s been the pinnacle moment of your career? KM: Wow, there’s been so many. Definitely being able to get in the ring with Jeff Hardy was a great moment. Being able to get a victory over him. Being able to wrestle with Steve Corino was a great moment. I would have to say, though, if not the brief shot on TNA, definitely the Light Heavyweight Championship from the AWA was definitely the pinnacle so far.
