I'd like to thank Lily for taking her time to do the Interview it was really fun to learn more things about this female wrestler!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Lily Martinez: I am Lily Martinez, crazy health nut, I love wrestling and I love to wrestle in both RL and SL.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Lily Martinez: I've actually never had a stage name or a nick name.. I guess the closest thing would be 'Warrior Queen' and that was given to me during a photo shoot where I was decked out in spikes and the photographer said wow, you are a warrior queen.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Lily Martinez: Around the time I joined second life, I was in love with the Sims. But the only thing wrong with the Sims was that you couldn't play it with others, so it got pretty boring. I asked around to see if there were any online games that are similar to the Sims, somebody mentioned Second Life, so i gave it a try, and I loved it, and i still do.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Lily Martinez: Well, I of course watch wrestling in rl and actually did some wrestling in rl, but one day I was just exploring, and I know that Second Life is community based, so i was pretty curious to see if it was possible to wrestle in second life, I picked the first name on the list which was XLW, I filled out an app
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Lily Martinez: I love entertaining, whether it was in second life or RL, So when i went to watch my first show, I thought it was something I totally wanted to try, so before I even got accepted into my first fed, I was already developing my character and what my move set would be, and who I would want to resemble. I guess from that moment I knew I had to give it a go.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Lily Martinez: My dream achievement would be to I guess do it all, I want to be involved in every match type, and I want to face all of my dream opponents, I want to go through many different characters, and currently my goal is to hold a championship from every big fed in second life, that will take some time, yes, but where am i going?
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Lily Martinez: Making my character special is something I work very hard on, whether I'm playing the typical cocky bitch (which a lot of girls seem to do), It still makes me special, because I do things others don't do, I bring originality to the character, matches, and even my ring attire. But my current character in VWE is definitely special no matter how you look at it, that character is also something i spent weeks developing and how I was going to debut, what my style in the ring was going to be, my attire, my attitude, my entrance, it was a big process and i think after all of that my character is indeed special.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Lily Martinez: My finishers are the Widows Peak, which is a gory neckbreaker, the system error/implant buster which is a lifting implant facebuster, and the Pin-Up strong submission hold, it's a unique, modified, reverse surfboard stretch
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Lily Martinez: Almost two and a half years now
do you have any Dream Matches?
Lily Martinez: I would love to face Misaki, Vendetta, Jenn Parkin, Curt Bombastic, and of course Alpin Criss,
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Lily Martinez: Very tough, but I'll go with Vendetta vs Louve, Me & Maxine in a steel cage at HAWX, Vendetta vs Jenn in 2010, Lil'abelle vs Deviant Darlings at Bytch School, and Me vs You for the VWE Women's championship.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Lily Martinez: I've been in HAWX since august of 2011, VAW since the day it opened in January (or around that date), and I've been back in VWE now for a couple of months after being gone for a year.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Lily Martinez: I have won the OEW Vixens Tag Team Championships alongside Isabelle, the HAWX Tag Team Championships also along with Isabelle, PRWW Inter gender championship, And i am currently simultaneously holding the HAWX Hellkatz championship + the VAW Women's Championship
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Lily Martinez: I would love to team with Lee Valentine, and I would absolutely love to see Isabelle at her craziest tagging with Vendetta.
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 Main event?
Lily Martinez: Isabelle vs Vendetta vs Jenn Parkin vs Cinthia Falmer in a hardcore fatal four way match
who trained you?
Lily Martinez: I guess you could say.. me. I had someone help me learn the system and how to use the HUD, but I taught myself how to do springboards, I taught myself how to lineup each move correctly, I don't think the 10 minute refresher I had to go through at uHw counts, because I knew how to do what I was being taught, but yeah, every little tip and trick I do in the ring right now I have learned by myself.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Lily Martinez: I'd have to say hands down my very very very hardly earned moment at the biggest HAWX FPV of all time 'New Beginnings' where i defeated Nina Prater to win my first major singles title, the 'Hellkatz Championship', I worked very hard for that.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Lily Martinez: Oh wow definitely, a big thanks must go out to Curt Bombastic, he has been very supportive ever since I met him at OEW back in 2010, he has kept me motivated, he is always complimenting my work, and that really helped me. There is also Lee Valentine who has become a very good friend of mine, she is always showing up to watch my matches, she is always giving me good feedback on my matches, my promos, and every thing I do in the ring. Of course my sister Isabelle, my tag team partner, I couldn't have gone this far without her, Maxine Endrizzi, surprisingly, I haven't known her for that long but she has definitely helped me, a HUGE thanks goes out to Vendetta & Nanny for jump starting my singles career at HAWX, they helped put me on the map, I just did my job, but they gave me that chance to shine and I tried my best, so thank you to them as well.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Lily Martinez: I've been in many feds because my work schedule used to change a lot and I didn't care where I was, I wanted to wrestle regardless of how many fans would show up, and those feds are (in order) XLW, OEW, VWE, PRWW, uHw, HAWX, VAW and back VWE.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Lily Martinez: Inspires me in SL wrestling? hmm.. All of the ladies that have put women's wrestling on the block, like Horses, Jenn, Vendetta, Nanny, and I'm blond so I can't pop any more names out but you know who you are.
Oh and of course Alpin But more or so, I get inspired to wrestle, by all of the people who support me.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Lily Martinez: Let me see, there is of course my all time favourite, Natalya Neidhart, she inspires me, and I think you know why, I mean she has to be one of the best female wrestlers in the world. There is also Awesome/Amazing Kong/Kharma, Beth Phoenix, Sara Del Rey, Trish Stratus, Lisa Marie Varon(Aka Victoria/Tara), and of course Kelly Kelly. No I'm joking she's terrible.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Lily Martinez: I have about three or four different custom attires, the most recent attire was made by Lee Valentine, and i have it in Red, Black, Platinum, Purple, Gold(Which i wore when i won the Hellkatz Championship), but most recently I've been mixing and matching stuff I find.
as we know there is allot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Lily Martinez: Definitely jealousy, and it makes me pretty mad, I think the SL Wrestling community would be so much better if there was no drama and if everybody could just bring the community closer together, I really love what is going on with uHw, DCWF and HAWX, I love the fact that they all advertise each others shows, and the Friday Night X show at HAWX where any fed can get involved, it's awesome. I try to stay drama free, but of course sometimes it will find me, and it did very recently.. you know why. But anyway, yeah, I try to stay away from it as much as possible, If you hate me, than you hate me, If you like me, than you like me, the least you can do is respect me, and everybody else in the community, because they all work hard.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Lily Martinez: I won't put any in any certain order, but I would say.. HAWX, for being the first female fed and only NexGen based independent fed, VWE for being so realistic and interactive, the shows are always good, and DCWF for being the original. And to every other fed, just keep up the good work.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Lily Martinez: The SL wrestling community is truly an amazing community, we all have one thing in common and that is that we all love wrestling, A lot of good things have come out of the SL wrestling community for me, I've made a lot of new friends, I've had so much fun visiting each fed that is a part of the SL wrestling community, and it's great to know that a lot of people in it have my back, that has been proven to me.

Reader's Questions!
Lee asks:
Lee Valentine How did she do in her first match? And also what was her the first title she held, and who did she beat to get it?
Lily Martinez: I did pretty well in my first match as a rookie, It was a tag team match and I was pulling off springboards, I was flying everywhere. My first singles match was a hardcore match which I won with the deadly Samoan drop :P. My first ever title was the OEW Vixens Tag Team Championships, alongside Isabelle, we defeated Nina & Samantha Prater.
Ray asks:
Ray Volution What was your favorite Gimmick you have played?
Lily Martinez: I've ranged from a laycool style gimmick, to a cocky bitch, to the pretty little face, to my VWE gimmick which is a Hacker/Spy/Mysterious kind of gimmick, and that is currently my favorite.
Lee again asks:
Lee Valentine How did you meet your tag team partner Isabelle Martinez
Lily Martinez: I met Isabelle at a club and I gave her free clothes because she was ridiculously noobish.
Ray again asks:
Ray Volution Explain why you chose your current theme song
Lily Martinez: I choose my theme songs by not only how they sound, but the lyrics. If you've heard my VWE theme song which is Zed's Dead - Eyes on fire, it really resembles my character and fits it very well. At HAWX i use the theme song Swamped which is by Lacuna Coil, it just plays well with the way i play my character.
Candykisses asks:
CandyKisses Twist Who Was Your Favorite Person To Train?
Lily Martinez: I haven't trained a whole lot of people, but the people I have trained have done well for themselves. Notably Melina Bowler who is very very good in the ring, I was the first person to train her, I was her first ever opponent, and her first ever win was on me. She has done so well and she has improved so much and I can't wait for her to get back. There is also Isabelle of course who I trained myself and you know of course she's very good and she is most known for how good her character is. And then there is Candy herself, I guess i didn't really train her, but when she came to HAWX i was in her first group of matches which i trained her for, I've given her tips and she's used them and improved a whole lot since then. There are others as well, but they do not wrestle anymore.
Isabelle asks:
Isabelle Beth Taylor Would you ever retire from the SL wrestling community?
Lily Martinez: Retirement is something I think about a lot, and I would definitely never retire from the SL wrestling community, I will always be a part of that. As for in the ring, I currently have no plans to stop wrestling, I have a lot more to accomplish, I am on my 5th title reign and like i said, I want to try and hold a title from every big fed there is, and I will definitely aim at that goal. It may take me a while but I of course won't rush it as i am enjoying every match I get to be in. But, there is one worry for me, and that's my work schedule changing which may end up eventually forcing me to retire in the ring temporarily, but let's hope that doesn't happen, in fact, I won't let it.
any last words?
Lily Martinez: Yes, I once again want to thank everyone that supports me, nothing will bring me down, this is my time to shine because I've worked very hard for it, I've trained hard, I've been dedicated to all 3 feds I am in, my SL wrestling schedule may be hectic but I love it. So if there is anyone that wants to hate, please do - because that motivates me, It motivates me to work even harder just to prove you wrong and than it is all the more sweeter. Thank you for the interview Tyress, I can't wait to see how much of my blond ass you've edited out because I do have my moments. Ty for reading everyone :)
