i wanted to thank Benja for his time it sure was fun interviewing him and i hope you all will enjoy reading the interview I am currently still open for more people to interview so hit me up! ;) you can also follow me on here or Facebook for easy access to the blog.. now enjoy!
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
Benja: Yo. Names Benja Nirvana. Known as the Big Shot. Been in SL pro wrestling for about 2 years runnin now. I do what I do because I enjoy what I do. Mostly goofy person but I do it out of having fun in SL and around people. Im one hell of a dancer and will always love being me.
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Benja: Funny thing was I was originally gonna be named Benja Magnum. When I hit I hit as hard as a shot from a magnum handgun. Though the Big Shot came from my law background. When people asked me about my law school they would always ask, "You gonna be a Big Shot lawyer?" So thats where the name came from.
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Benja: *pets tao* Well I was rampant around message boards. I used to do alot of sim battle boards where I held many titles. I am a pretty good RPer (roleplayer for all you people asking what the hell that is). A buddy of mine was talking about their days in second life and I asked questions. Could I have a shotgun? Could I smoke cigars? Could I ride a motorcycle. The rest was history. I have been on SL for over 2 and a half years now and have enjoyed it ever since. *nuzzles tao*
Tyress: lol, interesting
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Benja: *pets tao* Well I was a strip club bouncer starting off in SL. A girl wanted me to bodyguard her while she went to parties. There I met a girl named Morgan. Morgan asked me what I wanted to do in SL. I told her that I wondered if there was wrestling in SL. She said she actually knew someone that did indeed wrestle in SL. His name was Curt Bombastic (cuddlemuffin! ^_^). I contacted Curt Cuddlemuffin and went from there to start at XWA which would later become VWE.
Tyress: Benja the Big gun?
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Benja: *scratches taos ears* Well I am a big guy. My avatars height pretty much represents what I am in real life. I am 6'7 in real life. I wanted to use my size to wrestle and get into wrestling. I love to entertain people. I thought why not use my body and size to entertain people along with my voice as well. I love to talk and be able to get my voice across. Many can claim that I do as well.
Tao: I want some meatbunz
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Benja: *nuzzles tao and scratches under her chin* My dream, is to hold that VWE World Heavyweight Championship. I was promised it many times only to have it taken away. You know some say its just a prim belt. I say its more than that. Its more a sense of accomplishment and its the company telling you, "Thank you for all your hard work, we appreciate what youve done and we wish to reward you with this." So its not just a prim belt to me, its something that I have been working for my whole SL wrestling career. *pets Tao*
Tao: I really want some meatbunz...
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Benja: *hands tao a coke and smiles* What makes me special is the fact that I can use my law skills along with being able to fast talk anyone. I am a really good negotiator and I can do anything with it all. I can fast talk, I can loophole, I can hustle people. I can do many things with that. But also the fact that I love to goof around and have a good time is something that I pride myself on and many people have taken notice of.
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Benja: *opens the coke for tao and nuzzles* Well I have whats called The Dead Mans Hand. Its a chokeslam that goes into a spinebuster. No one really gets up from that due to my size and being able to put them down. I use a superkick that I recently added that I like to call "Flip the Switch". I used to use the chokeslam as my finisher but I decided to evolve that into something more. I also have a muscle buster move that I call the Bombastic Buster in homage to the man who got me into this business, Curt "Cuddlemuffin" Bombastic.
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Benja: tickles tao* I have been in SL wrestling 2 years strong now. I started right after Wrestleseries 1 along with a certain NOVA as well.
Tyress: Yay!
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
Benjitude:*nips taos ear* Do I ever! I want Tao here as my manager! She has gotten me through some bad situations. I also want to face my brotha from another motha Drewski Hoxley (spanky). I also want to face Acheron Nightfire becuase our match didnt hit off the way we planned. I also want to face Curt Cuddlemuffin in a Canadian Strap Tables match. Its time to show that guy that I WILL put him through the table and deal with my past issues. But in all honesty, I will face anyone who wants to face me, just let me know. Oh, I also want to face Vince Easterwood, The Gambler Ace Nightfire, James Hardy, Derrick Zane (oh the promos!), Wolf man kessel would be one I would want to do RIGHT THIS TIME! Pretty much around those.
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Benja: *plays with taos paws* To be honest, all are my favorites and ill tell you why. Everyone busts their ass to try to plan their matches and try to go out and entertain. So every match is something to watch because of the way they work and try to entertain the people. I cannot pick.
Tyress: How long have you been in your current Fed?
Benja: *mews with tao* I have been in XWA/VWE going on 2 years now. I havent jumped ship or switched any feds.
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Benja: *dangles a string and watches tao bat at it* I hold the record in VWE for most tag title reigns with 4. I have held the US title once, the Exhibition title once and I also put a boy through a flaming table. God Jenn was so proud of me at that moment!
I was also the first King of the Arena.
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Benja: *watches tao paint a picture* I always wanted to do the texas connection thing with my brotha man Drewski. I could team with Acheron, Adune Snowpaw (law and order), Tao, Vendetta, Nanny and others. As for a stable, well thats happening already with Big Money, it aint just gonna be me and Brak for long, trust me, we are growing.
Tyress: 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?
Benja: *keeps watching tao paint a picture* I would certianly book a 4 fed match. Dcwf, uhw, vwe and hawx fatal four way. Venners vs. Drewski vs. Benja Nirvana vs. Acheron Nightfire. WHO WILL WIN, TUNE IN TO FIND OUT! SAME BENJA TIME SAME BENJA CHANNEL!
Tyress: who trained you?
Benja: *smiles at the picture tao painted of her and him* Cute tao! Anyways, Derrick "Big Baby" Cult trained me. Hell of a trainer and a man with alot of patience. I owe most of my wrestling to that guy. I also had help along the way from alot of wrestlers, and for that I will always appreciate it.
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Benja: *give tao a chunk of meat and watches her nom* Thats about to happen. I was never really given a chance. I am given it now with that big elimination dome match at versus. Its time finally for me to shine and now im gonna take it. It was given to me so many times and then taken away so a guy could have fun with himself and his buddies. Now its time for all of us who were held down to have our chance, and you better bet your bottom dollar we are!
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Benja: *scratches taos ears again* I want to thank everyone whos ever been behind me. Without them I wouldnt be where I am today. Acheron, Wolf man, Cuddlemuffin, Brotha man, TAO, Maxine, Venners, Nanners, James Hardy, Vince Easterwood, Nap, Mad max, the struk brothers, TY TY, Vicious, B man, and most especially Jenn. That girl saw something in me and god knows what the hell she saw, but she protected me ever since I started. and Adune Snowpaw
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Benja: *cuddles tao* There are many who do, but all who lace up those boots and get in that ring gets my respect for doing so.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Benja: Same Answer as the other
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Benja: *pets tao* I always wear blue and black, those are my colors, and never forget the deck of cards on them either.
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in VWE?

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

Benja: *wiggles tao and smiles* No order, but VWE, DCWF and HAWX. UHW is gettin there.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Benja: *nuzzles tao again* We are now coming together with it. At first we wanted to seperate ourselves from it and what did it get us? People being released and them made out to be the bad guy, and we were number 1. Truth be told, we were the bad guys but it wanted to be overseen. Now we are coming together and things are getting better now, thank god, because seriously, that was gettin horrid.
Tyress: as we know you will be in VWE's first Elimination Dome Match at Versus how does it feel to not only go for the world heavyweight championship but also be one of the first in VWE to enter this match type?
Benja: *sighs as tao nuzzles him* Its finally my time to shine. I have been tossed around and overlooked for so long that I am finally gettin whats due to me. I am proud to be a part of it and I am lookin forward to stepping in there and showing the world what I can finally do. I am not a member of a family so it spelt doom for me earlier, but now that things are different, I can now finally say that I can shine.
Tyress: Any plans for what you will do if it turns out you walk out the chamber with the world title?
Benja: *pets tao* Victory laps around each arenas. People will celebrate and people will cheer. Thats all I could ever hope for. I certainly will be at shows and show up to them and not stay out 6 months.
Tyress: and what if you walk out without the title?
Benja: *frowns as tao nuzzles him* People will weep, but I will not give up, I have finally been given the chance and you know as well as anything ty sweety that I will not give up that chance to shine now!
Tyress: anything you'd like to say to the readers or your opponents?
Benja: *pets tao* All who read this, I hate Mr. Orange and Mr. Green! They screwed up our UNA game and I dont wanna see their faces ever again! As for my readers, thank you for your support and youll see more of the Big Shot around. As for the opposition, im comin out there and provin why I need to be there.
