I wanted to thank Acheron for his time and Maxine for being real great and a savior of logging. still wanting more people to interview so i dont run out! so if you're interested to be interviewed or read the interviews feel free to hit me up or Follow the blog or Facebook Tyress serevi . enjoy the interview ;)
Tyress: Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Acheron: Well, I'm Acheron Nightfire, I have been a wrestler for 3 and a half years. I'm a fairly quiet person or at least I used to be. lol
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Acheron: My Stage Name is "The Voodoo King" its a pretty interesting story. When I started wrestling, like most people I had no direction, no persona or gimmick, Then as I grew into my character I became "The Ragin' Cajun" Which lasted for a few months. It wasn't much but it was what I knew and could identify with. I had a few ideas of what i wanted to become, i had toyed around with the idea of a voodoo priest but didn’t really know how to bring it into existence. Then one day at a show at HKWF where I was wrestling at the time. They had a match cancellation, Shinja and I hadn't wrestled on that show and he asked me if I wanted to jump in the ring to fill the open slot. So we did. and in that match he spit fire into my face. For a few weeks after that I messed around with different looks and came back to the voodoo priest. So thanks to Shinja it kinda skyrocketed what would have otherwise probably been a lengthy transition from one gimmick to another.
Tyress: Interesting. :D
Tyress: I only knew the part of the shinja spitting fire.
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Acheron: I found Second Life through a friend of mine, we go way back, We've been through Ultima Online together then City of Villains, then when most of the other people we played with moved on to WOW, i kind of stopped playing for a while. He told me about Second Life, so i got on and gave it a shot.
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Acheron: After a year or so of running a night club with my friend and DJing, his RL caught up with him and he couldn’t devote any time to SL, so I started looking for other things to do. I'd always wanted to be a wrestler when I was a kid, I've enjoyed wrestling almost all my life so I did a search for wrestling, and came across SLCW, I went there a few times but I never could make it to any of their shows. I went back to DJing at a few different clubs but I was beginning to get burned out with Djing. After a few months I looked into wrestling again, and saw a few different places had opened. I wandered into HKWF which was still building the SIM, I looked around thought it was looking pretty cool. went to their first show liked what i saw. so i put in an application.
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Acheron: Well as I said, I'd always wanted to be a wrestler when I was a kid, but different things prevented that from happening in RL. Since in SL anything is possible I was thrilled to see it was here and I could finally achieve my boyhood dream.
Tyress: :D
Tyress: Do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Acheron: If there was one thing I want to achieve in SL Wrestling is to bring fun back to it. Now that everyone and their grandmother owns a Wrestling fed, each with their own style and rules. Which is good, we need diversity, but with all the politics and drama there is, and all the hustle to make your particular fed stand out above all the rest, some people have lost sight of the fact that we do this because its fun, we do this because we love it. Sometimes you need to make sacrifices which makes it more like a job than a hobby and that’s where things start getting sticky. The politics and drama are less then they were a year ago, and i think that’s partially due to the fact that people are beginning to relax and remember we are here doing this because its fun and aren’t taking things as personally as they once did. We still have a ways to go before that dream is achieved but we have made significant strides in the last six months in a positive direction.
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Acheron: What makes my character special is its mysterious, intriguing, and people like to see the special effects. I won't say its unique, because there are no more original ideas, everything has been done by someone, somewhere. But what I did with "The Voodoo King is I took elements of different people I grew up watching and rolled them together and made it my own. I go the extra mile to make sure things look in the ring the way I envision them in my head, and I try to keep it unpredictable. That’s what keeps people coming back for more the need to see whats going to happen next, and just when they think they have it figured out you throw in a twist that would make even M Night Shamalan say WTF. Also, knowing where you are going before you start helps avoid the pitfalls of building something too much only to let the fans down at the end because it burned too bright too fast and the finale can no longer live up to the expectations that were set.
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Acheron: My Finishers are Legba's Curse which is a flip Pile Driver aka Canadian Destroyer, The Zombie Maker which is an inverted superplex where my opponent lands face down instead of on their back. and The Voodoo Drop, which is a Back to Belly Pile Driver, I can't tell you how it feels but I can tell you it doesn’t look like it feels very nice.
Maxine: REALLY not pretty.
Tyress: :P
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Acheron: About 3 and a half years.
Tyress: Do you have any Dream Matches?
Acheron: Several, actually. A few of them are people I never got to face in prior feds. Alpin Criss would be one, I was supposed to face him back in HKWF but never got the chance to do so. Benbe Kirax, Bryce Ketterly, Derrick Cult, Jenn Parkin I'd like to face or team up with Jenn in match. The Gavel, Drewski Hoxley, Ranma Yoshiro, and Benja Nirvana we had one match back in VWE that never got resolved due to technical problems, I'd like to one day finally see how that would have played out.
Maxine's note – The Match that ended in emotes!
Tyress: If you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Acheron: Jenn vs Loody at HKWF where she ran him over with an Ambulance, Myself vs TonydaTiger also in HKWF where I threw him off the stage and then into the back of the ambulance to win the match. Ranama vs Big Evil at Wrestlefest 4 and VWE Six Feet Under Casket Match between Myself and Wolfy Kessel, and the cage match vs Sheamus in uHw.

Tyress: If you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Acheron: The Top moment of my career was the day I was accepted as wreslter in HKWF, without that one moment none of the rest of this would really have happened.
Tyress: Is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Acheron: Louve McMahon, for giving me a chance and beleiving in me. Jenn Parkin for being a someone I could talk to when i had an idea and needed more input to see if it would fly. Shinja for making me what I am today through a lot of grueling matches and giving me some very sage advice when i first steped into the SL ring. Maxine for allowing me to use her as a catalyst to propel my gimmick to new heights by becoming The Zombie, and all my friends and Family who keep me grounded and believing in myself.
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Acheron: HKWF, VWE, UWS/UHW
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Acheron: Maxine, she's always got the answers to my questions, she helps me look at things from more than one perspective, and she gives 110% to making sure things get done when no one else can be there to do it.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Acheron: RL wrestling I'd have to say The Undertaker, he's a big part of the inspiration behind The Voodoo King Persona. And all of the stories I hear about him from people that are in the business RL say he's a real down to earth guy as well as a leader in the locker room.

Acheron: Mostly all black, when I'm working face, its mostly all white.

Tyress: Has it been easy being the co-owner of the federation?
Acheron: Yes and No, There are times when I know exactly what needs to be done and do it without a problem, then there are times when I just want to grab someone by the hair and bash their face against the wall. People with their petty drama having a hissy fit over minor details without looking at the bigger picture.
Tyress: As we know there’s a lot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Acheron: It all boils down to attention, some people can't wrap their head around the concept of working in the ring, which leads to them being underutilized if at all, so they start feeling resentment and start spreading rumors to keep themselves relevant but they don’t realize that most of the time the only person they are hurting is themselves.
Tyress: Is there any certain Federation you would love to work UHW?
Acheron: I'd love to see some cross branding between DCWF and uHw as well as VWE and uHw.
Tyress: If you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Acheron: uHw - Storylines, DCWF - Match variety and quality, VWE - Production Value
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"

Take what works for you and leave the rest behind.
