ACW’s 5,000-Year-Old Warrior, Yoseifer, Talks Wu-Tang & Giraffe Jawbones

We were backstage at ACW Mischief Night in Poughkeepsie, NY, and we had the chance to interview some of the biggest names in the business. But none of them were 5,000-year-old warriors who were actively bleeding from the head.

We're talking, of course, about Yoseifer.

Our own Josh Bernstein sat down with the... well, let's call him an "ancient," who was quick to assure us that the blood covering his face was "not my blood." (Good to know.) After confirming he had learned to use the "art of microphone" during his time in our "modern world," we had to ask: what's the main difference between wrestling 5,000 years ago and today?

His answer was simple: "Everyone lives."

A Giraffe Jawbone and a Taste for Turducken

You don't just walk around Poughkeepsie (or "pipsy" as he calls it) with a giant horn and a jawbone without us asking questions. Yoseifer confirmed the bone was, in fact, a "jawbone." After we guessed whale, bear, and Sasquatch, he told us to think "height."

That's right. A giraffe. "Long neck, big target," he explained.

With the holidays coming up, we pivoted to Thanksgiving. We asked Yoseifer what side dishes we could expect at his table. His go-to? "I am quite fond of roasted squirrel."

This, naturally, led our host to explain the modern marvel of the "turducken" (a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken). Yoseifer was instantly intrigued. "Where can I get this?" he demanded. "Oh, I wish to have this for Thanksgiving."

Yoseifer Ain't Nothin' to F' With

Just when we thought the interview couldn't get any more surreal, we asked the 5,000-year-old warrior if he had a favorite entrance theme or modern music.

His answer? The Wu-Tang Clan.

Why? Because, as Yoseifer puts it, "I hear they are nothing to fuck with."

A solid review. We're just glad we lived.
