Okay, okay. So a while back on IW.Com, WG decided to bring back the popular Behind the Keyboard series. I was to be the return guest. After a while the idea was abandoned and we didn't ever finish it. This is the incomplete, unedited version.
IT was done primarily through Impact Wrestling.Com's Mails system. I saved all of my work so I would have it just in case WG (who was notorious for doing so) would attempt to misquote me in any way.
Some of this information may be out of date.

In terms of religion I would like to apologize if anyone is offended by my opinions however I don't see a reason why anyone would be as I am not presenting anything herein as factual.
On the other hand, I do not apologize for the things I said in regards to IW.Com and the e-feds. I don't believe any of the people who I went off on are currently members of ECWF or it's website and that's why I feel it's okay for me to post this.

Wrestling God: Ok. Let's begin.
Tell me about your early life and your family. Siblings? What are your early memories. How were your family relationships. Tell me about the family.
Nuttyskadork: Okay. I was born Michael Stephen Jones on January 27th, 1986. I have one brother, Stuart who is 17 and just recently had his head shaved bald for Cancer. My family relationships have always been fairly strong with both my father, Stephen and my mother, Susan who have been maried for 25 years. My early memories would be going to Disneyland in grade four and going to the UK and Wales to visit my relatives in grade seven. My Mom has nine siblings on her side. All but one reside in Wales. The other, my closest relatives Ron and his wife Gaye live in Cold Lake, Alberta. They have three children. The eldest is Julie who is married to Alan and has two kids, Stephnaie who is 18 and Jennifer who is 13. They live in Leduc. The middle child is Dennis who is engaged to Amber. They live in Edmonton. He has two children with his previous wife, Rose. Ashley and Jordan who are I believe 12 and 9. The youngest is Tracy who lives with her husband Keith. They have a total of SIX children. Five of which come from her previous marriage to David. The oldest is Paul who is 15. Then Jason is 13, Tyler is 11, Nicholas is 9 and Bryce is 4. Her and Keith had their sixth child, Brianna who is two. I'm not sure if all the ages are correct, but they're fairly close. They live in Cold Lake.
My father has only one sister who has two children. She lives in Wales.
As for me, I was born at the Royal Alex hospital in Edmonton, Alberta where I lived until I was six (the city not the hosptial lol). We then moved to Leduc and lived in a house for seven years or so before moving to our current house.
My Dad's been a Security Guard for as long as I can remember. He started out working at the Edmonton General before transferring to the Grey Nuns and recently moving to a position at the North East location. He was certified as a Special Constable in 1999, I believe.
My Mom has been a Financial Planner for as long as I can remember. She took time off to raise me and my brother but ended up going back to work when my Dad was laid off in the late 80's from a government job he was working. She's worked as a Financial Planner ever since.
I graduated high school in 2005. I am currently taking a course at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology on Wednesday nights for Radio Production and Announcing. I am planning on enrolling in the fulltime program in September.
Your brother has cancer? Describe how this has affected you and your family. How is he handling it?
No no no. My bad. Sorry. He shaved it for a fundraiser. lol. Yeah someone dared him to do it and he did. He had a lot of hair too. I think he raised about four hundred bucks though. There was this thing at West Edmonton Mall where they were trying to beat a Guiness Book of World Records for most heads shaven in a 48 hour period. I'm not sure if they beat it or not.
First you say it was for cancer than you say it is for some dumb record. Which is it? Anyway, what is up with the name Nuttyskadork? Is it because you look like a dork? Have you ever gotten made fun of? How's the social life?
It was for both. It was a fundraiser where they tried to break a record at the same time.
Anyways, the nuttyskadork name goes back a while, probably six or seven years. I was attending a church at the time and was just starting to get sick of pop, rap and mainstream rock. Through some of the members at the church's youth group I was able to discover some local bands. Notably dAYZwAGE, Peachy Joe's Ice Cream Surprise, Baggywrinkle, Surefire, Edmund, The Faunts, The Undertakers, Audience of One, Drive By Punch, Brody, Screwtape Lewis and Reverence. dAYZwAGE and Peachy Joe's were both ska bands inthe vein of Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish or my second favorite band ever (behind Metallica) Five Iron Frenzy. Members of Peachy Joes went to my church. Anyways, I was known as mjcoolj27 on the dayzwage message board. I can't remember the specifics but I got into a prolonged argument with one of the members of Peachy Joes on the website over church and politics. We both got banned. I had to come up witha new name but I wanted something original that no one else had so I could use it everywhere. At th time Peachy Joes were selling t-shirts with the bands logo on the front and it said SKA DORK on the back. I still have one to this day. Anyways, I tried ska dork but it was taken so I came up with a random adjetive and I came up with nuttyskadork.
Yes, I am a dork I guess lol. As for my social life, I was made fun of in Elementary school. Who wasn't? I transferred to a new school adn repated grade five because my parent's felt my unpopularity was due to my immaturity as I was a year younger than most of my peers due to starting early due to being a quick learner. I was fairly popular at my new school. When I went to Junior high for grade 7 and 8, bullies made my life hell lol. In grade nine, I began making more friends and it kinda cooled down. When I went into GRade Ten, everyone had grown out of it. My social life steadily improved although I was never the most popular guy in school.
My social life now is shitty because since October I took a Full Time Night Auditor position at the hotel I work at. I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday's from 11pm to 7 am so I get little time to party. Aside from family and clsoe friends, my social life revolves around the local bar but it's only active on Fridays and Saturdays so yeah, I'm not exactly as social as I used to be.
I want to know more about you getting bullied. Describe some of the things that people used to say and do to you?
You mentioned church. I thought that you wren't religous? What is that all about.
As far as the bullying goes, in Grade School I probably deserved a lot of it. Trying to pick fights, being an ass. In Junior High, it was more of being a geek. I was smart in school but not very smart in other areas. I got beaten up a few times, nothing to the point where I was actually injured, aside from a few bloody noses here and there. Otherwise, I had my backpack stolen a few times, mostly it was returned or found somewhere. Aside from that, most of the bullying was because some people thought I was a wussy. I probably caused a lot of it lol.
As for the Church thing. My Mom was raised Protestant but since marrying never followed up onit until I was about 8 when we started regularly attending a Baptist church. The church was actually worse than school for a while because I would get bullied twice as bad. After a while, I stopped going. Thanks to a few reccomendations from friends, and after going on a fun weekend long trip to some church camp started attending the local Alliance church by myself. I got extremly invovled in it. I was Vice president of the Youth Group. I worked there for Work Experience doing secreterial work. i was invovled in drama projects and even was trained to work the Sound Booth for youth events. Anyways, eventually the "fire" ran out. I think music was the main thing that caused my whole religious experience. Not so much with worship or hymns but with christian rock and punk and the likes. I remember getting upset with my Uncle when he said Christian Punk was an oxy moron. Now I realize he was definetly right lol. I was dissapointed with being expected to act a certain way and talk a certain way and eventually I stopped going all together. I don't consider myself an Athiest or anything, but I just prefer to stay out of religion completely because of all the bullshit I saw when I was on the inside.
Now we are getting somewhere. What is the Alliance Church? Go into more detail your "beef" with religion. Do you believe in God/Jesus? What do you mean that you were forced to act a certain way?
Well to be perfectly honest there isn't much of a differenc between Alliance and Baptist. Of all the protestant denominations they're two of the more similar ones. It was more so about the people who went there and the freedom to not be around my parents or whatever. Anyways, I know a lot of Christian speakers say this all the time, but there's way too much competition between the denominations. I don't know, it just seems that everyone is respectful of one another but then they treat each other like they are completely different religions. I don't know if I have a "beef" with religion but if I do it's because of some of the higher ups. As soon as I joined the Alliance church, the Youth Pastor left and as a result much of the youth did, but I stuck around. A lot of people left the church, and I know there's more to it than the youth pastor moving to a full-time position in northern alberta, but it was all covered up. Two years later, whenever the subject was mentioned it was avoided. There were also issues there about women being allowed to vote and being allowed to sit on the elder's board. It was like, okay, Canada gave women that right back in the 50's is the church that far behind? I give all the credit in the world to the Pastor. He was the nicest guy you could ever meet. I'm not sure how much control he had over the whole church but it seemed like every week there was another family gone.
I don't mean I was "forced" to act a certain way. I was expected to. Especially in school and the likes. Some of my friends from Youth would hang out at school with me and some other non-religious friends. Some of the non-religious friends would swear and they'd go along with it but then I'd swear and they'd publicly humiliate me.
I do believe in God or some kind of higher being, and there are plenty of facts to back up the fact that Jesus Christ lived, no one can dispute that, it's just whether or not he was really the son of God that some people argue over. I believe he was and I just have a hard time having a "relationship" with him because of all the religions and the bullshit within. Just the fact that I don't know what Jesus actually said and what man made up or mis-translated is too difficult for me to deal with. All in all, I don't bother with religion for the most part. I'm not exactly certain whether I'll go to Heaven or Hell when I'm dead. According to my parent's philosophy, as long as you accept Christ into your heart (which I did at the age of 8 or nine) you're guaranteed in. Various denominations have certan things that can deny your salvation such as blasphemy, abortion, suicide, homicide or adultery. It's too damned hard to figure what are really sins and what aren't so I use my own morals that I feel after living 20 years on this planet, I have a right to decide for myself.
So do you believe the Bible? Don't you think that God being the highest being, would leave some code or book for us to live by. Do you really think man can tamper with something like that? If not the Bible, then what do we go by? Facts prove things to an extent but it goes way beyond that. I agree with you that religion is shaky. There are so many denominations, but there is only one right way, one. Man isn't perfect. You say that you believe Jesus was the Son of God and facts prove it, but how can that be so? Facts can't prove miracles or healings or supernatural. It seems that you would have to go by some sort of book to prove that Jesus was the Son of God right. A connection with God shouldn't be affected by anything else. Religion isn't perfect but why does it have to affect your relationship with God? How do you connect with God and where do you want your relationship with God to be eventually?
I do believe that the Bible was written by God, but the fact that it's over 2000 years old and has gone through so many renditions makes it scary. I mean, sure there's the different versions that try to simplify it, who's to say they're not getting the right feel. And also, how can we prove that the language translation was done properly. Of course there's only ONE right way, but which way is it? I don't think ANY denomination has come out and said that they have that ONE right way. Many people take the easy way out by saying, well every single denomination has gotten something right. So what, do we take something from each and every denomination and then create a new denomination. News flash. That's already been done many times and it still ends up wrong.
As for Jesus, facts prove that he existed. There are no facts proving he is/was the son of God or that he rose from the Dead. this is all a matter of belief. Some may call the Bible "fact" but they're just being ignorant. As much as God may have contributed to the Bible, how much of that has been lost over time?
I agree that religion shouldn't affect my relationship with God. But to be honest with you, I think my relationship with God before was through others. Through the church. Through the youth group. Through the bands I listened to. Through my friends. Through the pastor and youth leaders. I'm not sure my relationship with God really existed outside of them, so it's kind of put a damper on the whole thing. I mean, I prayed like any other human being, and I don't recall any "direct" answers to prayers, not tham I'm complaining. I wasn't exactly forthright on what I actually wanted. But it seems that any of the experiences I had were in some way related to members of the church. That's why it's impossible for me to have a relationship if I've severed my ties with the people I used to live it through.
There isn't much of a connection between me and God anymore, not that there was much to begin with. I don't pray hardly at all, maybe I have nothing to pray for. I'm a pretty satisfied guy. I'm happy with what life gives me. Sure, God has a plan for everyone, and I'm more than willing to let it work out. I guess that I don't think there's much there for me to explore. God is there, that much is for sure. It's difficult however to allow him to control my decisions or even guide me. I mean, after all my connection with him was through others. When I get a feeling that God wants me to do something or God wants me to go somewhere. How do I know it's God? How am I to know it's not the church? Or the Bible? Or my pastor? How do I know it's actually God. I just plan on living each day however it presents itself and dealing with it from there. I know God has a Final Destination for me somewhere and at some point in my life, and who knows maybe I'll end up being a pastor at the age of 40. Unlikely, but you never know. I'm not going to be stubborn and rule it out. Who knows, I'm still young.
Why have you become a TNA mark?
Ha. I wouldn't call myself a TNA mark. Honestly, before the move to Spike my only exposure to TNA was old stuff on ESPN Classic. Even before the six-sided ring. Stuff that mostly featured WWE cast-off's and other assorted has-beens like Jarret, Raven, Sting, Jeff Hardy, Crash Holly, Road Dogg, X-Pac, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Ron Killings, Billy Gunn, Sabu, Sandman and Diamond Dallas Page. Around the time they went to Spike, I watched Impact a few times. First time I'd seen the six-sided ring and was exposed to more promising individuals like Abyss, Monty Brown, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin, America's Most Wanted and Petey Williams. I still didn't feel it was excellent match wise and was dissapointed with the storylines almost "copying" that of WWE. I watched a few thursday night specials and was impressed particularly with the Ultimate X match between Williams, Sabin and Matt Bentley. I went on to order Genesis having heard the rumors that Christian would be there, and sure enough he was. I was highly excited about the X Elimination match and the AJ Styles- Petey Williams match. TNA Impact still hasn't been that great due to time constraints and I still feel that if you haven't watched a PPV you haven't been properly exposed to it. The last two PPV's I ordered, Final Resolution and Against All Odds have been off the chain. One thing TNA has in common with WWE is the "mid-card" steals the show. The last several WWE pay per views have had the best match been on the mid-card. Unforgiven the best match was Matt Hardy vs. Edge. No Mercy it was the Fatal Four Way for the U.S. Title. Taboo Tuesday was The Triple H- Flair match although that was kind of a co-main event. Same with Survivor Series when Triple H- Flair fought again. Armageddon was stolen by the Mexicools vs. MNM match and New Year's Revolution's best match was proably either Big Show vs. Triple H or Trish Stratus vs. Mickey James. The Rumble match of the night was the Cruiserweight Open and for No Way Out I think other than the Main Event, JBL vs. Lashley stole the show. With TNA, they've never had a "terrible" main event in the 3 PPV's I've ordered, but it always seems something else steals the show. At Genesis it was the X Elimination match or even the Six Man Tag in the Pre-Show. For Final Resolution it was either the Daniels- Samoa Joe match or possibly the AJ Styles- Tanahashi match. And at Against All Odds, the best matches were the AJ vs. Daniels vs. Samoa Joe and of course the Austin Aries and Roderick Strong vs. Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt. I just feel like TNA has had better matches than WWE as of late.

Mr. Copy/ Paste
CenaLicksBalls-

Kurt Angle-
A True American ICON.
Fag5-
Oh you mean f5. Yeah Queerest of the Queer and more annoying than Amy Dumas.
Jericho-
An immature Jackass.
Hellraiser(by the way, what do you think of his pics and his girlfriend. You know he is a janitor right)
Hellraiser's a pretty cool guy for the most part.. I didn't know he was a janitor but everyone's had shitty jobs before lol.
ChristiansPeep-
One of the top promo guys on the site.
Elvira-
Definetly should've been in the runnings for blogger of the year despite the Scott Hall obsession lol.
Who are the people on this site that you get along iwth most? Who are those that you just can't stand?
Well I definetly get along fairly well with you, Hellraiser, Countdown, Scott Man, Rey Mysterio 619, Mike Becker, RKO Sledgely Angel, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman, Marvel, No Nickname Needed, The Rock, Elvira, Xtreme Diva, CLB (Formerly), Kurt-Angle, CenaLicksWG0126 and The Coach.
As far as people I can't stand there aren't a lot but F5Unleashed Fury, Rimmer, Fear the Spear, ThisIsAmyDumas, Mikeisraw, WWEWWE and SmackDown Rules. I'm not keen on the way that some people play the "e-fed" game. I have all the respect in the world for guys like NNN, WCW, Rock, Mike Becker, X-Pac 360, Marvel, CP17, Scott Man, Countdown and Kid Omen who actually play the game. I hate the politickers. I don't like to mention names but what the hell, this could stir some shit, but Compton's Most Wanted and The Executioner are two of the worst for this. J-Master is up there too, but I've got to give him props for going with the flow. Ex and Compton are the kind that e-mail me regularly asking for matches, asking to win titles and that sort of thing. When things don't go their way, they quit. J-Master did something similar when he returned he demanded a mid-card title within the first three months. This isn't WWE. This is an E-Fed. I'm not going to give guys who bitch and moan the titles. I'm going to give it to guys who post promo's regularly and bust their asses working on their characters. I get a lot of heat for having people like Mike Becker and RKO Sledgely Angel as champions, but they are two of the most dedicated people out there. I've got to give props to X-Pac 360, Kid Omen, Countdown, Scott Man, NNN, Rey Mysterio 619 and you as well for being dedicated. Good things come to those who wait.
Would you engage in sexual activity with another race?
I dunno. I'd like to say that the race wouldn't be an issue,it would be the person, but I can't say that for sure. I personally think that Gail Kim who is Korean is one of the hottest Divas in wrestling today. Black chicks can be hot too. I'm not talking Melysa Ford lol, but Halle Berry, Fefe Dobson, Jaqueline and Jada-Pinkett Smith are some of the hottest chicks out there. Spanish chicks tend to be hot too. My favorite kind of girl has always been Canadian though. Whether it be Trish Stratus, Gail Kim, Avril Lavigne, Fefe Dobson, Rochelle Loewen or just normal hotties.
More word association:
Okay sounds good to me. I love doing Word Associations lol.
Marvel-
It's hard to hate on Marvel for all the great and innovative stuff he did with NBWF and continues to do with XWA. Sure, he gets a lot of heat for having an ego, but when any e-fed strives to be at the level that New Blood was, you kind of have to. I respect him but I want to keep myself in check with WNC and not become too egotistical lol.
What do you think about Joker immitating the Behind the Computer series?
Yeah, that's bullshit. I mean, if he came out and said I know WG did this before but I want to do my own thing, then that'd be cool. But the fact that he said he gave you the idea was shit. Even if he did suggest it or something, you're the one who actually carried through with it. So, yeah, I think it's a total ripoff. Funny how most of his jokes are stolen off of various joke websites too, so I think that's where he gets most of his stuff. From other people.

Amen to that man. Few people know this, but I'm a church-goer as well, and I feel the exact same way. This has made me look at you alot differently, Nutty. In a good way I mean. I wish I had the chance to do this sorta thing.
