BEEF: Tree Of Life Taj Al Din

Fighter profile of Taj al Din by King Scooby

 El Tamale Caliente Ricardo Santiago here reporting in behalf of BEEF:Tree Of Life and we are marveled at the opportunity to have the great Taj Al Din himself in our studios for a live interview and a bit of fan mail for you before you get out of here tonight. 

 
 
 
The Hot Tamale: Its on everyones mind and although it might possibly be a sore spot, but it cant possibly be more sore than my jaw and ego after you knocked me out at Ascension last year so im going to ask it anyway... how are you feeling after losing what was arguably the fight of the year against Smokudju Womba? What do you think was the main reason you lost? Are you going to fight him again?
 
 
 
 
 
Taj: "Haha..  I am never satisfied with losing, but you learn more from a loss than you do from a win.  There's some areas in my game that I need to improve on and I am working on them.  I will fight him again, given the opportunity."
 
 
 
The Hot Tamale: Given the opportunity, i dont think theres much you need to improve on, i should sue you for my hospital bill, but anyway... You bounced back defeating Antonio Manoel again, this time almost as fast as you beat me, it hurt so bad I decided to drop down a weight class for a duration of my career. Was this just a fight with Manoel to clear your mind or someone you felt you had to beat to make a statement?
 
 
 
Taj: "Antonio was just business as usual.  The matchmaker sent an offer, I accepted.  When you're the champion it comes with the territory.  You defend the title against the opponents your employer offers you.  Just like our fight, Mate - strictly business."
 
 
 
The Hot Tamale: At least i wont have to take it so personal anymore, after watching what went wrong in our fight i decided to bring a knife with me and get even in this interview, but i will put it away now... So your name, “The Crown Of Faith” and nickname, The Tasmanian Devil, where do they come from?
 
 
 
Taj: "When I was younger my Super Hero name was The Tasmanian Devil and Taj al Din is Arabic for 'Crown of the Faith'.  My ancestory is too long and complex to indulge in right now but I was born and raised in Tasmania."
 
 
 
The Hot Tamale: That sounds like youre some kind of royalty or chakra focused, reincarnated, chosen one, and i thought i had good genetics. alot *(I mean a lot)* *(I mean a lot)* of fans didnt know that the inventor of hardcore which is yourself Taj, is a very intelligent man with 7 degrees ironically none are represented by a blackbelt. In addition, people dont know youre a botanist, can you elaborate on this part of your life?
 
 
 
Taj: "My infatuation with Herbalism naturally led to Botany. It's the science of plant life and a branch of biology.  Like humanity, plants are constantly evolving.  They provide oxygen, medicine, food - they're as important of a source as H2O."
 
 
 
The Hot Tamale: I got knocked out by a nerdy gardener, apparently. In a previous “Tree Of Life” show, Neo Kable spoke very well of you, how do you feel about Neo? Also, How is your relationship with your Team Karter mate Elvis Frost whom we are glad to let our listeners know he made the decision to join one of our Affiliates and Big Brother organization which is TTFC for the next portion of his career.
 
 
 
Taj:  Neo Kable's an athletic freak of nature who's undoubtedly a genetically enhanced super being with super-human strength.  His physical prowess is unnatural and he may be one of the heaviest hitters of all time.  He should change his nickname to The Incredible Hulk.  As for Elvis Frost - aye - Elvis is a bit of a loose cannon.  We've sparred, we fought, slugged it out, hell mate we've trained together for damn near a decade.. and he's turned into the best damn fighter I've ever competed against.
 
 
 
The Hot Tamale: Sounds like you two guys keep a great stable of fighters going over there at Team Karter. Thanks for stopping by for our interview, I have some fan mail for you here coming from (232745) Tobin Frost, A (2-0) Kickboxer in France.
 
 
 
Tobin: Yo Taj, I heard you were the best kickboxer on the planet once upon a time, I was an MMA guy until Scooby Jr and Team Mystery Machine showed me how much money Xtreme K1 Combat was offering. I quickly jumped ship, one of my best friends and my younger brother Tubarick went over too, but my question is, since I spent a lot of my life wrestling I have a major mismatch in this championship fight against Ethan's Dietrich Jager, I know he wants to knock me out especially since hes 35lbs heavier than me, what would a great fighter like you do to offset his boxing advantage?
 
 
 
Taj: "Good luck against Dietrich Jager, but I'll be standing in the opposing corner.  Convicted For Life."
 
 
Tobin: Thats cool, you'll just have to stand in that corner and watch me win then i guess.

 

The Hot Tamale: Cool down Tobin, you have to respect a man thats down for his alliance, that type of loyalty doesnt show its face often nowadays. Thats great insight from one of Tycoon's greatest fighters of all time, thank you for the interview and your time Taj, good luck on your upcoming fight with A.J Hearts and have a great day!
