Nova's interview with Vince Easterwood

want to say thanks to Vince for taking his time for this interview i enjoyed it very much :) if you want to be interviewed hit me up and i'll add you to the list! enjoy the reading!


give us a small introduction about yourself

Vince:  I am Vince Easterwood, and I am the general manager of DCWF's Wednesday night Warzone.

IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?

Vince:  Mine actually came very early, and really to no surprise, either. My nickname is "The Churchboy", and it came about when Eric and I were looking at entrance videos for me. He found one of the songs I knew very well, and everything just fit right into place from there.

How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?

Vince: I really didn't have much to do when I came across something about it just by chance on the internet. I didn't know what to really expect, but seemed like something I might be interested in at the time.

How did you get into SL wrestling?

Vince: That I remember vividly. Shortly after I started in SL, I happened to look for certain interests I had developed at the time, and one was in wrestling. When I found then SLCW, I immediately noticed the welcoming atmosphere around there, so I started coming more often as a fan before joining shortly afterwards.


What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?

Vince:  Well, two things really. The wrestlers at the time were very welcoming towards me, and it was a lot better than anywhere else I was around at the time.


do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?


Vince: As of now, no. I've already gotten to do everything I could ever wish and hope I'd be able to do.


What do you think makes Your Character Special?

Vince:  At the time, mine was unique in the nature of the character. However, even compared to those that have tried similar ideas, I don't play favorites and don't put down anyone unless they really bring it on themselves. Even as a fan, I just watch without any expression of bias to anyone, face or heel, except for the extreme exceptions.


what is the name of your finishers and what are they?

Vince:  My main two are the Crucifix Armbar, which is more or less the armbar takedown, and the "Bear the Cross", which right now is meant to be a gory special setup into the backslide pin.


how long have you been in SL wrestling?

Vince: Just over 3 years as of Thanksgiving


do you have any Dream Matches?

Vince:  For the future, no. From my past, there are two that ultimately were fulfilled dream matches. My "retirement" match vs Misaki Yumako and my match against Maxine Endrizzi during her time as the Zombie both were matches I wanted to do.


if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?

Vince: This one is going to be hard, especially since so many do well. No particular order, that would have to include VWE's Vendetta vs Akasha Faulkes scaffold match, me vs Tenzan in the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match, and Drew vs Mike at Backyard Brawl. The last two aren't as easy to pick.
Gosh ... Ok, VWE's Night Terrors vs JHG stands out, and I believe HAWX's Ven vs Lilith, when the aftermath of the match ended up burning the building when they were about to move.

How long have you been in your current Fed?

Vince:over 3 years now

what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?

Vince:  Where do I start there? First ever Inferno match, which became OMG/WTF moment of the year for 2010, held the World Heavyweight title twice, first time being the second shortest title reign at 5 minutes (giggle), International title once, Gimmick of the year in 2011 for the heel change I did during MHP, DCWF's Hall of Fame in 2011, and promoted to GM Warzone after my last full-time match this past August.


do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?

Vince:  I've always been kind of a loner myself, and there's really no one I could see as a tag team partner that would fit long-term.


if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?

Vince:  I would probably put you Ty, Ven, Misaki, and Nanny in a fatal four-way match.


who trained you?

Vince: Despite her illness, Kat was my trainer.


 if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?

 VInce:  My top moment has to be the entire main event at DCWF's "April Fools, Hardcore Rules" PPV in 2010. It started out with the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match between me vs Tenzan for the World Heavyweight title, and what made that moment special was just seeing the reactions from the fans between the end of that match to BigEvil coming down with a contract to grab the title away from me.


is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?

Vince: There are a few I have to thank. First is Kat for training me on the system and giving me the basics. As much as most don't like him, second is Eric, since he helped me with the gimmick. Last one has to be Numbers for helping keep DCWF alive and thriving to what it is today.


If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?

Vince: I've only been in SLCW, which is now known as DCWF.


do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?

VInce:  There isn't anyone that really inspires me. I learn bits and pieces from everyone I watch and work with.


Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?

Vince:  Contrary to most, I don't follow RL wrestling much at all, so no.


If you have a custom Attire what is the colors? if not what is it based on?

Vince: The main color on my attire is white, but the symbolism on it is really what stands out.


can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?

Vince:  Hmm ... again, really no particular order here, but me vs Tenzan, Ven vs Akasha, you Ty vs Rubie recently, MHP vs DCWF, and BigEvil vs Eric


Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?

VInce:  There's a few, but one that really stands out is a hardcore scramble match with MadMax, "Mad"Mike Freeman, Jenn, and Vendetta.

as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?

VInce:  The rumors we know about are usually caused by one of two things. First is when someone only presents half of the situation without knowing everything that's surrounding what happened. The second, which likely creates the first, is when someone misinterprets or more likely misconstrues what is done and said to make it better for themselves, falsifying some of the information in the process.


what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"

VInce:  Personally, I see it in two ways. At the core, the community as a whole is more or less a common interest group. Doesn't matter who we are or what fed we're a part of, we all have that interest in common. If everyone would see that core first, I could easily see the feds starting to really come together peacefully, unlike what had happened in the past. However, going out from there, I see where, even if the different feds don't always agree on how things should be run, where each fed focuses on allows for people coming into the community to see what style best suits them.


you said your nickname in the ring is the Church boy is that something to do with RL or just something that came up?

VInce:  Interesting you ask that. Yes, it is largely based on RL. It's really more an extension of who I am.

If VInce Easterwood would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be and why?

Vince: As much as the character isn't hardcore, since he'd never want to seriously hurt anyone, he'd probably go with glove-covered brass knuckles, and only as a defensive act.

any last words?

Vince:  It shouldn't matter which fed we're in or how we do things, we all need to work together as a community and try to not back-stab or put each other down. All that leads to is dissension and destruction from the inside. If we can peacefully coincide and help each other, I can see the community and the feds in it lasting a very long time.
