Last week, Jason from Orlando Fun and Food sat down with Impact Wrestling Superstar Rockstar Spud. James “Rockstar Spud” Curtin who is from Birmingham, United Kingdom, is one of Impact Wrestling’s newest superstars. Spud arrived on the scene of Impact Wrestling from England buy winning a contract to Impact Wresting. Spud beat out many other wrestlers in the UK in a series called British Boot camp, which can be seen online. Spud, who plays the assistant to Impact Wrestling President Dixie Carter, and Jason sat down to talk about Orlando, Impact Wrestling, Universal Studios, and his dreams coming true! 
Jason started off by asking Spud what it was like being a Impact Wrestling Superstar? – Spud stated that being a superstar was a huge dream come true. He said that even though he was chosen to be a part of British Boot camp, he never expected to win and earn the chance of a lifetimes to be a superstar with Impact Wrestling. How does it feel to be in Orlando? What does Orlando mean to you? – Spud stated that when he lived in the UK, it was his dream to come on a vacation to Orlando. Orlando is a destination for many in the UK to visit, and have a once in a lifetime opportunity. Since Orlando is now a huge hub for Impact Wrestling, Spud gets to live out his dream a few times a month. He said that being in Orlando was unlike any other place for him. He has the ability to visit the parks if he has time, eat some amazing food, grab some drinks with friends and explore! 
Do you get a chance to visit the parks? If so what is your favorite? – Spud stated that he really doesn’t have much time to visit the parks, although he really want to. He loves coming to work so close to the parks, and I am sure some of the awesome coasters and rides in Orlando really draw him in. He wants to go back to Disney and enjoy Universal Studios! How does Orlando and Impact Wrestling fit together? – Impact Wrestling and Orlando have a long history. Impact was based here and taped all of their shows here for many years. Now Orlando and Impact have a new history as a hub city. Impact has taken reality TV to the next level by showing behind the scenes footage, as well as off air footage 24 hours a day. Orlando plays a vital role in this production. Orlando Fun and Food wants to thank TNA Impact Wrestling as well as Rockstar Spud for taking time out of their busy schedule to talk with us!
