Netherworld’s Goblin King discusses The Dead Ones and MCW

Since 1997, the creatures of Netherworld have helped make Halloween quite a frightful time in the Atlanta area. In recent years, the hideous Goblin King has been a sinister presence whose singing or sheer terror have had souls surrendering to his control. As you traverse the aquatic agonies, undead horrors and other malevolent maniacs (including a giant roach!) in this year’s main haunt The Dead Ones, be wary of what resides inside the Goblin Cave. At Netherworld, the Goblin King is just one of many monsters vying for your demise. But this year the Goblin King is venturing into another monstrous realm as Monstrosity Championship Wrestling takes over the Axis Arena in Gotham City at Six Flags Over Georgia for Six Flags Fright Fest. As both attractions get under way Sept. 27, the Goblin King takes a moment to talk to Wrestling with Pop Culture about his cruel intentions for anyone who crosses his path.

The Goblin King emerged from the Netherworld a few years ago. Tell me a little bit about yourself and why you’ve chosen to enter our realm through the Netherworld.

The Goblin King is from the Dark Night. This is my third year at Netherworld, sitting on my throne in the Goblin Cave terrorizing people as they come through. I warn people as they wander through my cave that they’re lucky if they make it through.

I visited Netherworld on Friday the 13th this year. As I entered the Goblin Cave, you were telling people to “Bow down to he Goblin King.” Is that a request you often make as people enter your cave?

Oh, yes. I want all to bow to me. You’ve entered my kingdom, so you must bow and surrender yourself at my throne., Everybody must bow to the Goblin King.

Sometimes you greet people in a very different manner, such as with operatic singing. What’s the story behind that?

My first year at Netherworld, when I became the Goblin King, I would sing opera to hypnotize people as they came in to lead them towards me. Once they came towards me, I’d have them bow at my feet and surrender their souls.

This year the Goblin King is part of The Dead Ones. Tell me about The Dead Ones and where the Goblin King fits into this attraction.

Oh, the Dead Ones. That’s my favorite one. The Dead Ones are all the ones from the past who are coming back to take over the Dark Night again. The Goblin King is going to usher you into the new realm of what we call The Dead Ones.

When the Goblin King takes someone’s soul, what becomes of that person’s soul?

You become one of our servants and worship us. We mostly take the souls that will make us more powerful and stronger than ever.

Rumor has it the Goblin King is also involved in professional wrestling. Tell me a little more about that.

Oh, the Goblin King loves professional wrestling. The Goblin King takes over everything he goes to. He’s going to take over the world and take over the souls of those within the squared circle. Beware the Goblin King! Wrestling is my main strength because I love to take on anything that comes through my path.

Does wrestling exist in the Goblin King’s realm? If so, is it similar to the wrestling we know on this plane?

Yes, it does. It’s very similar. The Goblin King can not be controlled because I’m the king! Everywhere I go, people will be hypnotized by by my presence because I will take the souls of anyone who crosses my path.

I understand the Goblin King will be making his Monstrosity Championship Wrestling debut this weekend at Six Flags Over Georgia. What can you tell me about your involvement with MCW at Fright Fest?

Oh! When I come to MCW, prepare to bow to the king. Prepare to surrender all souls to the Goblin King. I’m coming to terrorize everything that comes through my path. Six Flags, beware! I’m looking for someone creepy that I can cast under my spell to add to my kingdom. I will turn monsters and human wrestlers alike into my goblins!
