Jonny Fairplay Interview

Wednesday May 7, 2008
I recently had the opportunity to interview Jonny Fairplay. Jonny is most famous for being the contestant on Survivor that faked the death of his grandmother. Such shenanigans won't work for him this Saturday night as he will participate in Ring of Honor's event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

While Jonny is most famous for his work in the world of reality TV, he has a passion for the industry that was obvious before he was on Survivor. In this interview, we discuss his pre-Survivor wrestling career, his accident that almost killed one of the most famous wrestlers in history, his thoughts on Ashley Massaro's appearance on Survivor, and much more.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the readers of the newsletter that sent me questions to ask Jonny. One of the perks of the newsletter is that when I get the opportunity to interview wrestling stars, if time permits, I ask the readers of the newsletter for their input on what they want me to ask. Another perk of the newsletter is that I mention things in it that I don't cover on the main site. As an example, last weeks newsletter contained information about the DUI arrest of a current WWE star (Santino Marella) and the release of two WWE superstars (Balls Mahoney & Dave Taylor).
