Q & A with Hurricane Helms
By Matt Duda from Wcw.com



CLEVELAND - Hurricane Helms holds enormous potential as one of WCW's most talented and able young superstars. WCW.com caught up with him Sunday at Invasion to find out his plans for the near future in WCW.

WCW.com: Do you want to pursue the Cruiserweight Championship or move your career in another direction?
Helms: Yeah. The WCW Cruiserweight Title, I'd like to get that back. But I'd like to go after the (Federation) Light Heavyweight title too.

WCW.com: Now why is that?
Helms: Just to have that (Federation) logo on a belt! Maybe somewhere down the line a tag team partner or something like that.WCW.com: Do you have a partner in mind?
Helms: Somebody bigger than me. In WCW when I was a part of 3-Count I was like the biggest guy on the team. I don't think I'm big enough to be the big man on a team.

WCW.com: You've already changed your name. Can we expect other changes coming soon?
Helms: I've still got some moves that I never got a chance to display in WCW; Stuff that nobody's ever seen before. 

WCW.com: High-flying stuff?
Helms: One of them is, then there's some other things. That's why I started getting popular toward the end (of the old WCW) because I was always coming up with new stuff.

WCW.com: You've worked with the Hardy Boyz in the past. Have you gotten a chance to train with them at all since you've been here?
Helms: Not really. 

WCW.com: Have you been training with anybody in particular?
Helms: I haven't really had the opportunity. I've had some mental training and having discussions with some of the guys. That's a pretty big part of it. 

WCW.com: Is that the toughest thing about moving to the Federation, the mental aspect?
Helms: I don't know if it's tough it's just very important to have the mindset right. It's a real close locker room and I like that a lot. Everybody's really friendly and you can pretty much talk to people.
