The HOT SEAT is back. In this edition, AWA staff writer Andy Mancini
interviews "The Picture of Perfection," Noah Lott after a narrow loss
to Dexter Poindexter in a recent "Beauty and the Geek" match.

Andy Mancini: Any thoughts on your match against Dexter Poindexter at
the AWA signature event, WrestleRace 7.0? Are you planning any sort
of revenge on him at this point?

Noah Lott: Ah...revenge what a wonderful word that brings pleasure to
my ears. Except I don't want just any revenge - I want total piece by
piece destruction of Mr. Poindexter, whom everyone knows is T.J.
Mack – the problem is he won't admit it although its obviously him.
Regardless, I want to make pain his best friend. My match at
WrestleRace 7.0 was by far equal to perfection minus the ending.
Whether I want to admit it or not, Dexter pulled out a victory.
Whether or not people want to believe me and agree with me that he
cheated to win, is their own opinion. That's what I believe. I'm
currently in negotiation with the AWA Board of Directors for a
rematch – on my terms and by my "special" rules. Signing the match is
up to them... hopefully Poindexter accepts. Next time it won't be
any "Beauty and the Geek" match. Next time I'm going to do what I did
to all the geeks in high school. Humiliate him.

AM: Do you feel as if 2007 is a "make or break" time for you in the
AWA? Are you planning anything that will make the AWA management
stand up and take notice?

NL:"Make or Break" is a ridiculous statement. Anyone can be made and
broke at any point in their lives. The point is I've already made it.
I made it by wrestling in general. I made it by defeating the
undefeated. I made it by getting into the AWA. I feel that if the
management of the AWA hasn't already taken notice they will never.
I'm one of the best up-and-comers... and I'm only twenty years old
with five years under my belt. I have traveled and I "Know a Lot."

AM: Any plans to challenge Ricky Landell for the Zero-One United
States title?

NL: "Challenge" is the key word. I would like to accept rather then
to challenge. Ricky Landell is a very skilled wrestler. I would love
to accept a challenge from Landell for the Zero-One United States
title. I would like to see who is really better and who deserves the
title more. I will say Ricky is a great champion so far, but I also
think I could be also. We'll see what happens.

AM: There have been a few interesting additions to the AWA main
roster as of late – Buff Bagwell, The Patriot, Dinn T. Moore, and
Hawaiian star Kaimana. What are your opinions on them?

NL: I never look at others as threats because people have to believe
in themselves. I tend to look at them as opportunities. Obviously
Buff and The Patriot have been around so those are great
opportunities. Dinn T. Moore is a good wrestler and will be a good
challenge or partner. Kaimana... I have never seen him before but
have heard great things. So in do time hopefully my opportunities
with all of them will be successful.

AM: Do you have any opinions on the Vince McMahon's lawsuit against
the AWA?

NL: When I think of Vince McMahon I think of a lot of things, but I
mainly think of a challenge. I think Vince sees the AWA as a
competition - which is good for both him and us - yet he doesn't want
competition right now. Therefore, he's attempting to claim the AWA
name. Either way, AWA is a great company and it will always be one of
the best.

AM: Rumors are that Dale Gagne is still in the AWA and has never
really left. What are your thoughts of him and Jonnie Stewart?

NL: My opinions of Dale Gagne and Jonnie Stewart are just that -
opinions. I feel both of them are doing a great job and know where to
go with this company. Simple as that. Of course Dale never really
left. Can you see that AWA without a Gagne? The only one that doesn't
really know it is that idiot posing as a President, Danny Wenkel.
AM: Is there anyone in the AWA that you are currently scouting?

NL: It's hard to say "scouting." There are many great singles and tag
team wrestlers out there. This includes Kirby Mack, Cuban Assassin,
Zach Gowen, Joey Silva, Ricky Landell... the list goes on and on. I
can't even name a quarter of them. I'm always looking for new and
fresh talent whether it's for competition and or a tag team doesn't
matter.

AM: Well, it has certainly been a great interview. Any closing
thoughts?

NL: I would like to say that the AWA is a great company with many
opportunities. I have taken advantage of many but I'm also planning
to stick around for awhile. I want to tell everyone to keep their
eyes on Noah Lott because I'm going to literally take everyone by
storm. It may sound conceited, but I'm not. I'm just convinced.
Convinced that I'm one of the best, one of the most educated, and one
of the most skilled. The time is now and it's my time. "I am Noah
Lott and I do Know a Lot."
