Tommy:** “Donovan Silver, the man behind APW: High Altitude, I have to ask…we have reached the one-month anniversary of High Altitude, how does it feel?”
*Donovan Silver:* “Tommy, it feels damn good. This isn’t just another show, this is something special, something we’re building from the ground up, brick by brick. You know, when you’ve been in this business as long as I have, you learn to appreciate the grind, the hustle, and the sweat that goes into making something like High Altitude work. One month in, and I already feel like we’re making history. But trust me, this is just the beginning. I’ve got big plans, and we’re only getting started.”
*Tommy:* “What gave you the motivation to start High Altitude?”
*Donovan Silver:* “Well, Tommy, you know better than most that this business gets into your blood. Growing up, I watched your dad, Gangrel, tear it up in the ring. That guy was a beast, and seeing him mix it up with the best lit a fire in me that never went out. But I’ll tell you what really drives me—bringing back that edge, that attitude that made wrestling must-watch. I’m talking about the days when every match felt like a fight, and every show was unpredictable. High Altitude is my way of reviving that spirit, blending the chaos of ECW with the electricity of the Attitude Era. It’s about giving the fans something raw, something real, and something they can’t wait to see every week.”
*Tommy:* “How did you and Blaze get connected? And is this strictly business, or are you friends with him?”
*Donovan Silver:* “Blaze and I go way back, Tommy. We’ve shared a lot of stories, a lot of laughs, and more than a few late nights after shows. But here’s the thing—Blaze and I, we both love this business like it’s our lifeblood. We’re not just in it for the money or the fame; we’re in it because we live and breathe wrestling. And you know, when I was younger, Dan Angel and I would stay up all night playing *SmackDown vs. Raw. He’d pick Jeff Hardy, and I’d always go with The Rock. Those were the days when we dreamed about being in the ring, running the show. Now here we are, making it happen. So yeah, it’s business, but it’s also about friendship, loyalty, and a shared vision. That’s why High Altitude is what it is today.”*
*Tommy:* “So now that it’s been a month…what do you want to see at the one-year anniversary?”
*Donovan Silver:* “Tommy, at the one-year mark, I want to see High Altitude standing tall as a cornerstone of APW. I want to see this brand continue to push boundaries and give the fans those jaw-dropping moments they talk about for years. I want to see the talent evolve, stepping up their game, and I want to make sure that when people think of APW, they think of High Altitude as the place where legends are born. We’re going to keep raising the bar, and by the time we hit one year, everyone’s going to know that High Altitude isn’t just a part of APW—it’s the beating heart of this company.”
*Tommy:* “How do you plan to make High Altitude still feel like a part of APW but draw enough attention to make people want to be a High Altitude mainstay?”
*Donovan Silver:* “It’s all about attitude, Tommy. High Altitude is a part of APW, but it’s got its own swagger, its own edge. We’re bringing back that intensity, that in-your-face action that made the Attitude Era and ECW unforgettable. But we’re not just a nostalgia trip; we’re evolving, adapting, and pushing the envelope in ways that keep it fresh and exciting. The talent knows that being part of High Altitude means you’ve got to be ready to bring it every single week. That’s what makes people want to stay here, to be a part of something bigger, something that’s changing the game. We’re not just another show—we’re the show.”
*Tommy:* “With this show marking the one-month anniversary, what can we expect from this Friday’s episode?”
*Donovan Silver:* “This Friday is going to be a game-changer. We’re calling it *High Altitude: Extreme Ascension, and trust me, it’s going to live up to the name. We’ve got a dual main event that’s going to blow the roof off the place. GDH is defending against Big Bear Bison, and Dan Angel—yeah, the same Dan Angel who used to pick Jeff Hardy in those late-night gaming sessions—is putting it all on the line against Nick Angel, the winner and runner-up from last week’s 10-man Rumble. This is what High Altitude is all about—pushing the limits, raising the stakes, and making every match, every moment, count. You don’t want to miss it, because this is just the beginning of something epic.”*
