The other part of our double header interview, the first one from TII from 2004, is our interview with a future superstar (without a doubt, injury permitting) - Mr 630 Jerrelle Clark. If you've never seen the 630, I advise you check it out real soon as its one of the most death-defying moves going, as Jerrelle makes note of.

Not only this, but if you check out the audio of the show we also have Mike Aweseome on right after Jerrelle! Welcome to TII 2004…

'Mr 630' Jerrelle Clark

-- Jerrelle was a fan growing up, and watched everything from Leaping Lanny Poffo, to Dynamite Kid, etc. Old WWWF, to NWA. Watching since he was little, he always wanted to be a part of the business.

-- He was trained by Jeremy McCulough.

-- Clark says he was very nervous for his first match (in front of 90-95 people). He used a gimmick called Lil' Baller, and just had one thing on his mind during the match (which was against his tag team partner); "don't squash me".

-- Talk turns to IPW:Hardcore and Ron Niemi. He was working as The Cutthroats with his partner (the guy from his debut match), but circumstances meant he started working singles as Jerrelle Clark. It was then that he returned to work with Ron.

-- At Rage In The Cage 4, Jerrelle hit a moonsault from the top of the Cage. He says that everything was going through his mind, from will they be there to catch him, to what the hell is he doing up there. It was his idea to do the spot, and since it was his IPW singles debut and all of the other cruiser's in the Cage match were doing sick spots, he just climbed the cage, crossed his heart and went for it.

-- Out of all the cruiserweights he's fought across in his career so far, he enjoyed working the most against Justice. Both guys have martial arts backgrounds and such. He then goes on to complete his top 3 list.

-- Mr 630 then gives his thoughts on the way that Cruiserweights are showcased in the WWE. The specific example he brings up is Jamie Knoble, speaking about how he's seen Jamie do some really exciting stuff, but he's relatively restricted and 'grounded' in the WWE. James brings up the comments Jerry Lynn made on a past show about not out-shining the main eventers, and Jerrelle gives his reaction to those.

-- Speaking of good matches, Jerrelle speaks about the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup where he worked Tony Mamaluke. He speaks about how smooth Mamaluke is in the ring, and how well he flows from one move to the next.

-- Clark speaks about his two shots in NWA:TNA. The first trip was an Xplosion taping against Elix Skipper. When he got there he saw everybody he'd been watching on television for the past few years, and he said it just blew his mind - he was walking around like a kid with his jaw on the floor.

-- The second time around he was on the PPV itself in a tag match with El Fuego against Sonjay Dutt and Eric Young. Clark says there's nothing like it, and his heart felt like it skipped 10 beats every time he looked out into the crowd.

-- After that match, Sonjay Dutt signed a contract with TNA, and while Mr 630 would love to do so and work there again, there hasn't been any real talks at the moment.

-- If he was presented with a Developmental deal with WWE, or a yearly deal with NWA:TNA, if he HAD to decide right on the spot and choose one, he'd choose the one where he had more of a chance to showcase himself, which would at this time have to be NWA:TNA.

-- Discussion then moves on to the move which got him his nickname - The 630. He has a background in gymnastics since he was 4 years old, and has done competition diving amongst other things. One day he was on a trampoline he was doing front doubles and other combinations, and he turned to his tag partner and he said "it'd be cool if I could do that off the top rope".

Three weeks later he was at IPW before a show, and while practising with a crash mat, his partner said to him "why don't you try that one and ¾". So, in his words, Clark "climbed up to the top, put my head between my legs, kissed my ass goodbye, and jumped".

-- When then asked if any injured or accidents have occurred from it, the worst thing which has come of it was a dislocated thumb which was taped up and he was back in business in two weeks.

While he realises it's a dangerous move, Jerrelle then adds that its not as dangerous for the person taking it as it is for him. "Say my foot slips off the rope as I'm trying to turn, or trying to take off and I come crashing down head first".

-- We then turn to the Word Association segment of the interview, with names such as IPW Hardcore, NWA Florida, Lanny Poffo, Sonjay Dutt and many more.

-- We then wrap up the interview with a message to his fans, as well as a message of where he wants to be in 5 years time.

-- And finally, Jerrelle has a website up currently, jerrelleclark.20m.com, but one will be coming soon at mr630.com.

-- We then roll a Fozzy song, before moving into our second interview of the show, Mike Awesome.
