This interview was a request made by Numbers that I thought was a great idea if you have any questions or want to know more about Give Back 2012 this interview should answer most of them! Enjoy!
What is the name on this Big Event?
Its Give Back 2012 foo. lol I keed.
How did you come up with Give Back?
Well, it's kinda what we are doing isn't it. I wanted something that sounded less hokey but it fit. Ironically just a few days ago I found out it was also the name of a charity music festival here in North Carolina.
What Is Give Back?
It's the mother of all wrestling cards. Its a chance for those who are willing, to sign up and get in some pretty huge matches. Crossbrand matches we haven't seen before and may not again for a long time, if ever. More importantly though, it's a chance for us to lend our 'celebrity' to a damn worthy cause, Relay For Life. The work they do for cancer patients and cancer research is phenominal. We've all known someone with cancer or maybe some of us have even had it ourselves. Sadly it unites us to some degree, so why not unite to help battle it.
What Date and Time will the Event be at?
The event will be this weekend Sat and Sun June 16th and 17th respectively, the Saturday time is up in the air as we speak but we are kicking off at Noon on Sunday for sure.
What is the Goals of Give Back?
It has several, first and foremost is to raise money for Relay For Life. They cover so many different areas that I know we have a huge potential to impact a great number of people. Our reality is that we aren't rich or influential, but in SL we have the ability to do something here that many of us just couldnt in our real lives, its huge, and its humbling all at the same time. If my Grandfather were alive today he would call it responsible 'virtual' citizenship. LOL
In a close second to that though we get a chance, even if its just for a bit, to put aside some of the differences we have and do what many of us obviously love doing most in SL and thats wrestling. When its over we will go back to our respective feds, get back to the business at hand, but I do believe we will have that Goonies moment when we can honestly say, that was 'Our Time'. I think we will have a fucking blast.
Is this going to be a yearly event?
The response to it this year has been overwhelming. It's already bigger than I honestly expected, so should things go even somewhat smoothly, I believe not only will I want to do it again but so will the rest of those participating.
What do you think makes Give Back Unique and extra Special?
It truly is the first all inclusive collaborative effort of its kind since SL Wrestling began. Every single fed is represented in some way. If I'm honest, I don't think a project like this could have been invisioned just a couple of short years ago. It shows how we've evolved as a community. Let Vince McMahon and Dixie Carter try and claim that lol.
What are your toughts on all the sign ups you recieved for the event?
Im scared as hell. LOL. No kidding though. While it was overwhelming in a very posative way to see everyone jump on board. In our first year without and expirence at this under our belt, I'm going 'How the hell are we gonna pull this off'. But I believe we will. We have all the will and talent as a collective to do it. However as a skeptical believer, I'm still biting my nails. :D
Since its a Charity event if you could put a Goal to reach on Lindens for Relay 4 Life what would you put the Goal at?
As for monitary goals, I'm hopeful that we will raise anywhere between 500 and 1000 USD at this event. Its a high number, but we're all talented, we SHOULD be aiming high.
Who has helped you with Give Back?
The shorter list is who hasn't helped. Most people have come to me or those working closely with me on this to offer to contribute something. For that I truly am grateful to each and every one.
Who is the sponsors behind Give Back?
We got alot of outside help for this one as well which I think speaks to the worthyness of the cause we are helping here.
First off, the sim we will be on is totally free and donated by Zoha Boa of Zoha Islands. I've know him since my first month in SL and hes always been a good friend to me personally. Also, a handful of feds in the community have land by him, and some wrestlers have their personal land by him as well.
Second, the Saints of Hell Motorcycle Club will be putting on a live concert after the action is over with. These are a great group of men and women who are passionate about far more than just drinking beer and riding motorcycles. They always have something worth while going on at their sim and do their own RFL events every year. When I pitched em the idea, there was ZERO hesitation from them in comming on board.
Finally and definately not least of all the Green Lantern Corps. These guys really are the glue of the whole thing because they will be providing the contacts with RFL and the donation kiosks. DCWF did a RFL show for them last year and we had a blast. I totally look forward to them being in the audiance, they are great fans and great folks.
Since there are so many matches involved, what matches would you say is the matches you wanted to see if you had to pick 4?
I wanna see them all. There will be many people at this event that I've never seen in the ring before. Admittedly I sometimes live in a DCWF bubble I'm so busy. So being there as a fan is really what Im looking forward too. I'll save the predictions for David lol.
Aside of the Goals of Give Back is there anything else you're hoping that Give back 2012 will achieve?
I'm a realist. I don't expect us to hold hands and sing 'We Are The World' with eachother from here out, nor do I expect that SL Wrestling will be a fully cooperative utopian community. Rivalries will always exist. However, I do hope that at a minimum we can find a new found respect for eachother out there, and maybe a new love and passion for the sport of SL Wrestling just by being around the strangeness, and newness of all of this. Maybe, old cranky guys like me can get the opportunity to expirence the best of each and every participant, and we can see a diffrent side of one another for a change. We've take the selfishness out of what we do with this event, we are truly exposed.
Would you mind explain what Relay 4 Life is to those that don't know?.
Relay For Life (often shortened to Relay) is the main volunteer-driven cancer fundraising event of the American Cancer Society. Originating in the United States, the Relay For Life event has spread to 21 countries.[1] Relay events are held in local communities, campus universities, military bases, and in cyberspace. Although the main objective of Relay is to raise money for cancer research and cancer patients, the event is held to spread cancer awareness, celebrate the lives of survivors, remember those who lost their lives to cancer, and unite a community in the fight against cancer.
RIGHT FROM THE WIKI BABY!!!!
I'm also told that its entirely possible that some of the RFL honchos and execs might be there watching, so NO BOTCHES.
Who was the bookers that planned the matches for Give back?
Nanny Gothly, Horses Morrisey, and Maxine Darkwatch did the booking. I felt they had the best over all broader expirences in SL wrestling to know what would be good 'big baby' and what would not as far as matches go.
A special thank you to them as well because I honestly believe they did the impossible, which is book each and every person who signed up in the show. And they came in 2 days ahead of schedule. WTF.
What did the sponsors do to help out?
Well I menationed the sponsors and their role earlier. But its honestly a more fair statement to say they are participants more than sponsors at this point. Without their efforts it would just be a really long wrestling card, with no purpose, no aim, no extras, no location.
Would you say that Give Back is an achievement in SL wrestling History to have all the Federations togather for the same goal?
Wouldn't you? SL Wrestling has alot of history, some of it good some of it not so good. I can recall a time Ty where you and I wouldn't be talking just because of the tags we wore above our heads. It's different now though. Some will still try to be divisive and may even succeed, but not at Give Back.
Anything you'd like to say to othe readers?
Giveback isn't about any of you or me, its about something greater. Please come and show your support, bring your linden love, even if you aren't booked. Not only will you see the most amazing card in SL History, you will be helping a good cause.
Do you think there will ever be another event beside Give back where most of the Federations joins together?
Who knows what other people might dream up and try? I can say though if anything, we are paving the way. Hell if I'm 100% honest, the way for Give Back was paved by Nanny's first Tamsi tournament.
Anyone you'd like to thank?
All the little people who made this possible. Seriously, Im taller than most of you. Everyone who has lifted a finger from just signing up to some of the heavier lifting is worthy of all our thanks and respect.
Definately thanks to you Ty for your blog and giving this event an extra opportunity to be publicized.
I will throw in a special thank you to the guy who thought this up. Benja Nirvana, there were a bunch of us sitting around having a few laughs about some stuff one night and he mentioned something like this. This is more or less his idea, with his blessing, I just did the paperwork.
Any Last words?
Bring your A game people, the virtual world WILL be watching.
I'd like to thank Numbers for this interview, and I hope that as many as possible comes down to watch the Shows its not only good for the show but its even better for the Charity with Relay 4 Life! there will be so many matches that its almost insane!
I'd also like to thank UHW, HAWX, VWE For plugging this blog and the Interview if you want to visit them or find out more information hit the logos below, to visit DCWF Map Search Slam City or just search for DCWF
hope you enjoyed the interview!

Nova's interview with Ranma Yoshiro
I'd like to Thank Ranma for taking his time to make this interview Next week I will take 2 weeks break but next week is a special Interview with Numbers about the Big SL wrestling event coming up! you don't want to miss it!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Ranma Yoshiro: I'm Ranma Yoshiro, and I am a wrestler for DCWF.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Ranma Yoshiro: Currently, I am "The One Man Wrecking Crew". It came about when I wasn't getting over with my old gimmick, and I decided to create a new one from scratch.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Ranma Yoshiro: I was DJing for an Internet Radio Station, and they had started getting into Second Life and asked if we would come in world to DJ. That was over 7 years ago now.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: I had been role playing with the Star Wars Role playing Groups, and became disenfranchised with how things were being run from within, so I resigned and a short time later I looked up wrestling in search, and found SLCW, which is now DCWF. I liked what I saw and applied and was accepted.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: I watched that first show at SLCW, and it was something new and exciting. I have always been a wrestling fan in real life, and when I saw that I could actually apply to be a wrestler, I couldn't get my application in quick enough.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: Well, I had always wanted to see more cooperation between the different feds. I had tried to do my talk show, Digital Wrestling Round Table, in an effort to bring the whole SL Wrestling community a little closer together, but at the time it wasn't something that was achievable. Now it's coming together more then it was a year ago.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Ranma Yoshiro: I think what makes my character more special is that I didn't base it on any one person. I created this character from scratch, and it's more of an original creation. I had even received compliments about how original it was.
Which Transformer is your favorite?
Ranma Yoshiro: I am a HUGE Transformers fan from my childhood, and I think I would have to say Optimus Prime is my all time favorite. He was strong yet humble, and a great leader.
Who Would Win? if Dino bots could Merge into "Extinction" Against Devastator who would be the victor and who would be destroyed?
Ranma Yoshiro: Wow!! Now that is a good question. I think that the Dino Bots as "Extinction" would win, because I think the merging of all their animalistic minds would be a little too much for Devastator to accommodate for. Devastator components tend to form one mind where Extinction would have all the Dino Bots minds clashing together.
If you could pick One Dino bot to be in the Next Transformers Movie who would it be and why?
Ranma Yoshiro: Grimlock would be the one I would choose. He is the Dino Bot leader, and tends to be a little more rational then the others. How they would portray him would be tough though, because would they do bit of an update, or keep him as he was in the original cartoon. If they do original cartoon version, I'm sold.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Ranma Yoshiro: I have the "Wrecking Ball", which is the Canadian Destroyer Piledriver, and a new one I'm waiting to use when the time is just right. That one is unnamed as of right now.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: Right around three years now. I started back in the end of 2008 and left around the end of 2009 for real life reasons, but I came back in July of 2010 and still going strong.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Ranma Yoshiro: I never really thought about dream matches, but I would love to have a chance to go up against Benja Nirvana. He's a good friend, but we both work for different feds. I think it would be a hell of a match.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Ranma Yoshiro: Time to strain the brain muscles. I see so many matches, it's hard to remember them all, because they are all exceptional in their own right. Me VS BigEvil in a Best of Five match for the DCWF Title was amazing. Benja winning the VWE World title was another awesome match. There are so many, it's hard to choose.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Ranma Yoshiro: Close to three years now.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: I have been DCWF International Champion one time, and I am on my first run as the current DCWF World Champion.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Ranma Yoshiro: I haven't really thought into it much, but there are alot of good guys and girls out there and I think that whoever I did have a tag team/stable with, we would do a great job.
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?
Ranma Yoshiro: Now that is a tough one.
I'll have to say Drewski Hoxley VS Derrick Cult. I think the two of them would have an awesome match together.
who trained you?
Ranma Yoshiro: I was trained by "Kitty Kat" Kathryn Blackadder.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Ranma Yoshiro: I would have to say winning the DCWF World Title at WrestleFest IV in the main event. It was just so surreal when I won the title and the crowd went crazy.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: I would like to thank all the fans who come out to the shows. Without them, we wouldn't be where we are today.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Ranma Yoshiro: I have only wrestled with DCWF since I started in SL wrestling.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Ranma Yoshiro: Every wrestler in SL inspires me. They all work hard to make SL wrestling great, and that inspires me to work just as hard as they do.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Ranma Yoshiro: I would have to say Kane when he first started. He was a bigger guy that didn't say much and hid his emotions. I based my first character on him when I was "The Lost Soul".
what does your attire look like?
Ranma Yoshiro: I wear combat boots, ripped jeans, and a t-shirt. I just recently started wearing knee pads and wristwraps.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Ranma Yoshiro: I try to avoid the rumor mill, but I do hear my fair share. It could be any number of things. Someone mad cause something didn't go the way they wanted. Someone received the wrong information. I just try to ignore it myself.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Ranma Yoshiro: DCWF would be my first choice. It's the longest running fed in SL and has more straight wrestling action. VWE would be my second choice as they provide more of the entertainment side of wrestling. UHW would be third because they have built up a company that has a mix of both DCWF and VWE.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Ranma Yoshiro: If you would have asked me this question a year ago, I would have told you it was horrible. As of recently, it has gotten alot better and we are seeing more cooperation between the different feds than a year ago.
Who would win in a 4 way match between Megatron, Optimus, Starscream,Grimlock?
Ranma Yoshiro: Oh boy!!!!! I'm going to go with Grimlock. Brute strength and size are on his side.
do you have a Favorite Transformers Quote?
Ranma Yoshiro: So many to choose from....... One of my favorites is "Me Grimlock am stealthy fighter"

Numbers Rossini Rookie Rumble? Discuss!
Ranma Yoshiro: Well, it was myself, Number Rossini, Damen Doobie and Johnny Giha and it was our match to graduate from being rookies to pros. We all practiced that match and it was perfect, but SL decided that it just wasn't to be and we had so much lag. It turned into a bigtime mess. Numbers won the match, but had the worse lag and it looked like he didn't even really do anything.

Nova's interview with Ted Alter
I'd like to thank Ted for taking his time to make this interview. i hope you all will enjoy it!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Ted Alter: I'm Ted, Been in SL Wrestling for roughly 4 years and i love wrestling in general
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Ted Alter: I don't have one anymore, however i did have "The Ace" i have no idea how that came around i think it was just about Ace being a number 1 on a deck of cards and yeah..
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Ted Alter: I found SL when here in the UK some news Channel had made a Sim with there studios and stuff in it and they where letting people in and they where going to do a Live show of the news in SL, i signed up and never found the place :(
