I'd like to thank Celtdan for taking his time to make this interview i had alot of fun doing it with him! so enjoy guys! :)
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
Celtdan: Alright, well I'm Celtdan McMahon, current play-by-play commentator for DCWF on Saturdays a semi-retired wrestler and a semi retired wrestler I should say first CEltism of the interview
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Celtdan: Well I suppose my nickname is "Jaboom!", which has a funny story about it. In a match in early 2009, I was going for my finisher, the powerbomb, and as I went to type in Kaboom, I typo'd and it came out as Jaboom! It caught on immediately and has stuck on ever since.
Tyress: Interesting way of a nickname to appear from
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Celtdan: I found out about it on Sky News in the UK and it looked interesting so I decided to find out what it was all about, so I signed up and I immediately became obsessed with this crazy world
Tyress: Crazy? there is no such thing as cra- oh wait...second life Wrestling..
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well, I found out about a federation named Evolution Pro Wrestling which was looking to make itself big in SL, and I checked out the arena and was amazed at how well detailed it was. I originally applied to be a referee before deciding to wrestle, but I was fired before I could wrestle a match, and the place never got of the ground. As for DCWF/SLCW, I found it randomly on the internet. It was a geocities website created by former owner Ivan Halfpint, and as they say, the rest was history. :P
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Celtdan: I'm a big wrestling fan IRL, and the idea of getting involved in something that at the time was revolutionary really appealed to me. Of course, I had no idea at the time what SL wrestling would become and how much it would eventually mean to me.
Tyress: Yeah it tends to Suck you in litterly
Celtdan: Damn right
twice I nearly got out and nearly went other places...but no, they just wouldn't let go
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well, most of my dreams have been accomplished, in terms of wrestling certain people like Drewski and Big Evil. I suppose my dream achievement is to either wrestle in the Main Event of WrestleFest or become DCWF World Champion. Technically, I have been world champion but it was taken off me by the bastard owner Eric at the time who was very protective of his world title. I held it for about 20 seconds
I might not get those opportunities though, as I'm a commentator these days, and wrestling matches isn't something I do very often. It's certainly something I want to go do more often again, though.
Tyress: Ouch 20 seconds :s
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Celtdan: Good question! I suppose as a commentator, people appreciate my love for the business and my passion for my job as a commentator. I love commentating because it gives me something different to do, and I appreciate that people enjoy my work. As a wrestler, I don't really know if there is anything particularly special about my character, although during my drunk gimmick days, it was certainly very unique, that's for sure.
,
Tyress: one of my Favorite commentators over at DCWF had to be said.
Celtdan: Thank you :)
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Celtdan: My finisher is "Jaboom", a sitdown powerbomb. My old finishers were the "Dublin Driver", the rock bottom and I used to use a crossface known as the "Celtdan Crossface"
Tyress: some interesting names on those finishers
Celtdan: My old character was actually meant to be Irish even though I'm scottish and was announced from Scotland
so that's why it was called the Dublin Driver
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: I've been in SL wrestling since August 2007, which is when I signed up with EPW. The only person around as long is Ari Lane, who actually started in EPW with me. We've been friends (and enemies) ever since.
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
Celtdan Ok, for me personally, I would LOVE to face Curt Bombastic. Now that he's back, hopefully one day the opportunity will rise. As for a match I want to see, I'd love to see maybe the champions of DCWF, VWE and UHW square off in the ultimate non-title champion of champions triple threat match!
Now, that would be AWESOME!
tyress: that would be an epic match i am sure of!
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Celtdan: Well, I've probably seen nearly every DCWF match, ever. I suppose I would have to go with 1. Alpin vs. TEnzan - I Quit at WrestleFest I, 2. Ceri vs. Misaki at Backyard Brawl 2010, 3. Nanny vs. Horses at WrestleFest IV, 4. Vince vs. Mythil at WrestleFest III and 5. Women's Elimination Chamber at Blizzard 2011
Tyress: How long have you been in your current Fed?
Celtdan: Well, since it's technically the only fed I've ever been in, that's just over 4 years in DCWF. I was part of the first show, and I've never looked back at all really since.
I thought lasting 1 year was something my god
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well, in DCWF I've been World Champion, I was tag team champion with Ari Lane in MOrse Code, still the longest reigning champions too. It embarrasses me to say this, and I know people will laugh, but I held the old CCW/VWA Canadian National CHampionship for a couple of weeks back in 2008. Make sure I don't mention that again.
I've also won a few awards in DCWF, including my very own Celtdan McMahon Lifetime Achievement Award for Epic Failure and this year I won the Most Memorable Moment award for my part in the famous Duchess of Coventry match with Paula and Horses that I commentated.
if you're wondering about the lifetime achievement award, it's one of hte joke awards we give out or moments when we fuck up
I was just going to say that I won the lifetime achievement award for having my mic turned off while we had a huge brawl between OEW and DCWF wrestlers
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Celtdan: I suppose Drewski's my dream tag team partner, but I've had the opportunity to tag up with him before. I'll go out on a limb and say...Benja. I think we'd be an awesome tag team
I think we could do some crazy things together as a team
Big Cookies
Tyress: *laughs* interesting names and even more interesting tag team name
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?
Celtdan: : For the Main Event...I think I would have Alpin Criss and Brakman Wylder. Just thinking about that, that could be one hell of a match.
Tyress: Very interesting match idea
Tyress: who trained you?
Celtdan :I never actually had a trainer as such I had started off as a referee and learned the HUD from that it was easy enough to learn...Alpin Criss showed me how to use the HUD and it was natural from then on in those were the days
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Celtdan: I suppose my greatest moment was having the "UK Civil War" feud with Mike Freeman and Morpheus over the DCWF International title. It started off from the Elimination Chamber we did at Blizzard 2008, and I had some kick ass single matches with Morph and Mike, and eventually together in the first ever Ring Of Steel match and then the triple threat match for the title at WrestleFest. I loved working with those guys and they are still right up there with the best matches I've ever done.
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well..I suppose I would have to thank Ivan Halfpint for allowing me to be part of SLCW when it started, Alpin Criss for developing the system, I know it's controversial, but Eric Stuart, I love the guy, and he gave me some great moments and allowed me to do some awesome things.
Right now I gotta thank Numbers Rossini for being an awesome boss and commentary partner, Scarlette and Drew for being awesome friends, and Ari Lane for being my ultimate enemy and best friend here in SL.
I should just mention that me and Scarlette are still, without a goddamn doubt the MOST Unbiased commentary team in ALL of professional wrestling
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Celtdan: EPW,SLCW/DCWF
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Celtdan: God...I think I'm inspired by some of the women in SL wrestling like Nanny, Horses, Vendetta and Misaki for the hard work and time they put into what they do. Some of the matches those four have been involved in have been amazing, and I think everyone in SL wrestling apppreciates the work that they do, not just for their own feds, but in the case of Nanny and Ven, for HAWX. HAWX is loved by just about everybody in SL wrestling, and is one of the cool things that has brought us all together a lot more recently. Big kudos to them.
Tyress: I cant but agree to that.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Celtdan: I gotta say, I think I'm most inspired by Mick Foley. Foley near damn killed himself 90% of the time he went out there. If you look at matches like Hell in a Cell in 1998 against the Undertaker and even the I Quit match against The Rock at Royal RUmble 1999, a match he actually done with his family watching at ringside, you gotta respect how much he's willing to put himself through just for the entertainment of the fans.
I don't think anybody else, even guys like Terry Funk, would put themselves through some of the shit Foley has in the past.
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Celtdan: My custom attire is black trunks with "cWo" on my ass, and some celtic designs on the front
Tyress: cWo?
Celtdan: Celt World Order Voodoo made me a t-shirt that said that on it.
it stuck lol
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in DCWF that you have been in?
Celtdan: Oooh. I think I would say 1. My retirement match against Ari Lane at WrestleFest II, 2. TLC match with me and Ari against Mike and Eric when they were Anarchy for the tag titles (I put Eric through two flaming tables, something a lot of people can only dream of doing :D), 3. Triple Threat match with Morph, Mike and I at WrestleFest I for the international title, 4. Ring of steel again with me, Mike and Morph and 5. Me vs. Drew at New Year's Bash this year
Tyress: as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Celtdan: I think stupid people cause most of these rumours. I wish we would get rid of the rumours, but in SL wrestling, the way it is, I'm afraid it's probably never going to happen. When people are stupid and spread rumours, it's often because they have a grudge against a fed or certain people in a fed, and it more often causes problems than fixes things.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Celtdan: I am biased, so No.1 DCWF for being the old head in SL wrestling and being awesome, No.2 VWE for being our rival and for putting on very entertaining shows with something different every week, and No.3 HAWX for putting on great shows and being something that brings SL wrestling together like nothing else ever has in my opinion
Tyress: YAY Rival....Wait...there is a Rival in my house!!!
Celtdan: I'M INN A RIVAL'S HOUSE! Traitors! :P
Ain nothin' wrong with a bit of competition
Tyress: Competition is what brings the best in the matches i think.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Celtdan: I love the idea of a "community" Back when me, Ranma, Okita and Ari launched the DWRT radio show, the idea was for it to bring SL wrestling together, and for a short time it did. Right up until the infamous appearance by Eric Stuart, which resulted in me leaving the show. My dream is for one day that most, if not all feds can work together, co-operate and help each other. While we should still be competitive, I don't think it would do any harm to help each other out and be supportive.
Tyress: If Celtdan were to pull out an object from under the ring what would it be and why?
Celtdan: It would be my trusty guitar. I started bringing out a guitar for no particular reason, probably because at the time I was a TNA "mark" and I liked Jeff Jarrett and got called a JJ mark for it, lol
It became my trademark.
Tyress: does Celtdan have any Favorite saying if so what is it?
Celtdan: I have a few. there's "That's Unbelieveable", or "We have Sex(Six) matches tonight", "BAH GAWD!
oh and of course "DON'T TOUCH MY TABLE!"
Tyress: what is your thoughts on about this Blog interviews?
Celtdan: I love them. It's another great way to bring the community together and to hear the thoughts of the different personalities we have in SL wrestling. Long live the blog! :)
