Lewis Chad Pinkston, otherwise known as LC Pinkston or LCP. You may know him from his time PWE, or maybe you made it into the top 10 of his Bitch List, or maybe you don’t know him at all. Well, he’s signed up to compete in the Trials and I had the chance to speak to him.
Sunny Southern California is known for its beaches, babes and burritos. It’s home to Hollywood, Disneyland, and wrestling Superstar LC Pinkston. I meet up with LCP at the “Happiest place on Earth”. LCP wants to ride Splash Mountain one last time before it shuts down for good.
As you can imagine, the wait time for the ride is fairly long. I haven’t been to Disneyland in ages, so I’m having a hard time locating the ride. I also had to stop for a roast turkey leg and some churros.
I take a bite of the giant turkey leg and scan the line until I spot LCP in a white tank top and shorts. He sees me and waves me over. I run over and stand beside him in the line.
Bip: Hey sorry man. Having trouble finding my way around.
LCP: I almost thought you wouldn’t make it. You’re going on this ride with me.
Bip: Wait, I didn’t agree to that.
LCP: Well then no fucking interview for you.
Bip: Damn, okay. I just hope my heart doesn’t give out on me.
LCP: ok, well let’s get on with it.
Bip: Okay….first question. LC Pinkston. That stands for Lewis Chad Pinkston right? Can I call you Lewis? What about Pinky?
LCP: I’ve spent a long time marketing myself, I’m not going to let someone come up to me and just call me Pinky. It’s real simple. It’s L C P. Only my wife calls me Lewis and that’s only when I’m in trouble.
Bip: Okay got it. I’ll stick to LCP. For those who haven't been keeping up with you, can you talk about what you’ve been up to lately?
LCP: I was one third of the staff at PWE. It really opened my eyes to just how egotistical and self centered people are when it comes to this business.
Bip: Definitely. I feel like it comes with the business. People are always looking out for themselves.
I offer LCP a piece of my churro, he grabs it and tosses it into the bushes.
Bip: damn. That was 8 dollars.
LCP smirks as we inch closer to the front of the line.
Bip: So let’s talk a little bit about the Triad and the Trials. Why did you join?
LCP: Why? Seriously, I can see some hard hitting questions from you. Why not? What do I have to lose? It was something that caught my attention and I’ve put my name into the hat. As for successful, I’m successful no matter where I go. Win, Lose or Draw. At the end of the night all anyone can think or talk about is L. C. P.
Bip: What about the 3 owners? How familiar are you with them? Is there any particular team you're hoping to get drafted to?
LCP: Marcus and I had a run in during a Mixer a few years back. TLS, I thought he was dead. As for PIC… can’t say much, although I have it from a good source that guy…. Massive Bitch. It’s me. I’m the source. As for what team? Whoever wants to win… or at least have a good time while doing it. One thing I bring to the table is unpredictability. Anyone with half a brain cell can see how that would help them in this environment. Well I guess that takes TLS out of the equation.
Bip: If TLS was smart, he’d draft you.
I finish off my turkey leg and dump the bones by a nearby trash can as we finally make it to the front of the line. Our log rolls up and LCP takes a seat first, he then motions for me to join him. Reluctantly I do so. The Disney staff gives instructions over the intercom.
Bip: Well, are there any wrestlers who signed up for the Trials that you have your eye on? Either as a friend or a foe?
LCP: I don’t have many friends, foes tho? I’ve got plenty. All of the others are just that. Others. Until the teams are drafted and shaky alliances are made I’m not going to call anyone out…. We’ll except for Vhodka. She’s pretty cool.
Bip: Speaking of Vhodka. I love your bitch list and hope you do it more frequently. How does someone get their name on the bitch list?
LCP: Are you angling for a spot? It’s not like some mathematical equation. If I think you’re being a bitch you get added to the list.
We buckle ourselves in, the staff member comes through and checks that we are secure. LCP has a smile on his face as the log begins to move slowly. I look over at him and notices the many tattoos he has on his body.
Bip: How many tattoos do you have? Is there one in particular that has a special meaning?
LCP: Hundreds. Most of them are just funny or dumb, depending on who you’re talking to. There is one in particular. It’s on my ring finger. When Ophelia and I got married I was worried I was going to lose my ring. So I got W/L/D ILY. Win Lose or Draw I love You. That’s what we say to each other no matter what. She’s got my back…. And sometimes my front.
The ride goes over it’s first bump, it startles me a bit but wasn’t too bad. We then start to ascend up slowly.
Bip: So, how will you celebrate if you win the Trials and become the one to unite the Triad?
LCP: Probably see what I could fetch for it on EBay, or the black market. Then I’ll go home and bask in my ever daunting greatness.
We reach the top and I look down, it’s about a 100 foot drop. My heart is racing. We begin our drop as I shriek in horror. The log splashes through water and we get wet.
Bip: Any last words or message you want to send to the other competitors and owners of the Triad Fed.
LCP: All of you have grandiose expectations as you should. However given my lack of gravitas or accomplishments… a whole bunch of you are going to look fucking silly trying to explain how I came out on top. Y’all need to remember my pullout game is Weak as fuck and I’m about to fuck this place raw.
LCP takes a deep breath in and exhales, the ride for him was thrilling. Meanwhile I’m just glad that the splash from the ride covers up the accident I just had in my pants.
Bip: Thank you for your time, I look forward to seeing you in the Trials.
LCP: Bye!
He walks off as confident and self assured as ever. Will he be the one to unite the Triad? Will he even be drafted? We will soon find out.
