10 Questions with TCW Superstar Roosevelt "The Dog"

Here is what I love about doing these interviews. I get to ask questions to a variety of wrestling stars. From Independent wrestling stars, to guys who have made the leap to the next level, and guys that have been to the top but are still working on a lesser scale due to the continued love for the business.

Today I have an interview with TCW Superstar Roosevelt "The Dog". (TCW is currently nationally broadcast on the Pursuit Network.) He is currently 1/2 of the "Hounds of Hell" tag team with partner Cerebus. The two compliment each other very well and are currently the TCW tag Champions. They have held the belts since February of 2013. This is no small feat in TCW as the competition is high and The Hounds are challenged regularly. Roosevelt was kind enough to take time out of his schedule and answer the 10 Questions. I sent the questions on a chance he would not accept the invitation, but thankfully he did and I would like to present to you his answers.
