I'd like to thank Tara for her time to make this interview i know she has been wanting and waiting to do this for a long time Here was her chance Enjoy!
Tyress : Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Lady Tara: Well, I'm from the uk. Came on sl to see what it was like, then did pose ball and found my way into hud. I met Eric and he gave me an application. RL wise I've little knowledge on wrestling but found it fun.
Tyress : IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Lady Tara : Well, funny answer. I mentioned to Eric I was from uk and he said so your all royal etc and I though well no but it seemed like a good idea. So, I became queen of wrestling and made the longest intro going and annoys every one who has to introduce me and my character is hated just by turning up.
Tyress : How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Lady Tara : Well, I was messing on the web and I saw a thing on SL. It looked interesting so I joined but was hard not knowing any one but I soon found Friends and joined pose ball groups made a name for myself then found DCWF and not looked back.
Tyress : How did you get into SL wrestling?
Lady Tara : I wandered into divas sim, met some nice people and tried using mats and found it fun. Because pose ball is all about emotes and I found a talent for it. Now, I'm considered one of the best at it. I make good money at it and it's very fun.
Tyress : What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Lady Tara : Well, it was something I wanted to try. I've watched some matches and I thought I'd give it a try. Plus, I have had fights rl but just cat fights. It seemed interesting and fun and the money was good ( Pose ball Wrestling ).
Tyress : What was your First Match like in Hud Based SL Wrestling like?
Lady Tara : Nerve wracking. I faced my trainer, and I was so nervous backstage. The hardest part is the waiting and hoping you don't mess up. Luckily, I had a great trainer and match went well.
Tyress : Who won your Debut match?
Lady Tara : He did, but I did ok. It's a thing we did that we lose our opening match.
Tyress : Do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Lady Tara : Well, I want to be famous and known and be recognised for what I can do. It's hard for females to break into wrestling in hud but with such names as Ven (Vendetta) , Honey (Honey Bluntz) , Nina (Nina Prater) , Scar (Scarlette Abeyante-Hoxley) and Anarchy (Anarchy Fang) ; I want to be like them.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Lady Tara : Well, hehehe my arrogance and attitude and fact I can piss people off by just been there.
I'm a royal bitch and I'm so (stuck) up myself it winds fans up. I get a lot of heat and pride myself in that.
Tyress : What is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Lady Tara : I have two moves I use.
One is the Style Sault. It's a flip - move into a moonsault. one of best moves in SL. I call it the Style Sault cause it's stylish. Not just your average moonsault.
The other move I use is the London Bridge and it's a cradle hold into a slam. I call it that from the nursery rhyme : London Bridge Is Falling Down.
Tyress : How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Lady Tara : Well a while now. I've been in DCWF since just before WF2 (Wrestlefest 2) where I won the womans title which was unexpected. So I guess I'm now a vet, but it's still new to me. There's so many great wrestlers out there. So about 3 years btw.
Tyress : Do you have any Dream Matches?
Lady Tara : Yes, I do. I'd love to face Ven in a hardcore match and just go nuts. Also I'd like to face Arcana, both are at hawx. DCWF wise I've faced every female there but if I'm honest my dream matches so far have been with Horses (Horses Morrisey). We have a great chemistry. I want to do a match that will make people talk about it months down the line.
Tyress : If you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation, which has been your favorites?
Lady Tara : Well, I had a fun match with horses at war zone. We did a bra and panties death match which was hilarious. We used weapons no one else tried to. Any match with Ven. She's just awesome in what she does. I saw her do a cage match once and it blew me away. 2 - The DCWF elimination chamber, the female one. The girls really showed their stuff and was the best match of the event. 3 - My buried alive match that I did with Brianna. We really spent time on it and went well. Even though I lost, it was a good match. 4 - My hardcore match with Broly. It was a match most thought would be bad, but we turned it into a great match. I took a dive from a second tier down some steps. 5 - Arcana v Maxine (Maxine Endrizzi - Darkwatch) in a NHB (No Holds Barred) match. They were just awesome with what they did.
Tyress : How long have you been in your current Fed?
Lady Tara : Over 3 years. I've stayed in same fed since joining and I am in HAWX.
Tyress : What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Lady Tara : I'm a 2 time womens champ at DCWF and the current champ. Probably most hated champ in history. I've won tag titles both in DCWF and HAWX with my now ex partner Heidih Himmel as the Style Queens. We were considered the best tag team in SL. Also I've won 2 Plexis (ed. note - DCWF achievement award) which I treasure.
Tyress : Do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Lady Tara : Yes, Anarchy. She's so evil. Also, I'd love to team with Ven. I think we could really rock. But I'm not taking anything from my ex partner, Heidi. We showed our skills and gelled right away. We made the Style Queens known in the community and Heidi is a great partner.
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 Main Event?
Lady Tara : Ooh, good question and I have to say it would be a female main event. Because, honestly, females work harder and put on a better showing. So if I could book a main event, I'd put Ven v Anarchy in a hardcore cage match cause it would be chaotic.
Tyress : Who trained you?
Lady Tara : Waroop Bravin. He taught me the ropes. He is a great guy,
but if I may say this : you train in each match. Every match I do, I learn something new and theres always room to improve yourself.
Tyress : If you have a top moment since the beginning of your Career to now, can you tell us about that and why?
Lady Tara : Well, and this is really funny, but my tiara day. I did a promo that re - defined promos. The heat I got was off the scale. I got told after that there's heat then there's Tara heat. I came out carried in a sedan chair and had ring decorated ( big thanks to Sierra (Sierra Charisma) on that. She was awesome ) but the whole concept suited my character cause I just won the female title and I had a sickeningly sweet vid played and although I got tossed into a cake was my crowning moment. RL I was in tears of laughter cause of heat i got from it.
Tyress : Is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Lady Tara : Yes. Loads really. Numbers (Numbers Rossini) for putting up with men Nina, Scar, Horses, Anarchy; tbh every one I know in the hud family. They made me feel welcome and although my character is a bitch, I'm nice behind the scenes and the way I'm treated OOC is just amazing. I'd like to hug them all.
Tyress : If you have been in more then one federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Lady Tara : I've only been in HAWX and DCWF. I'm loyal to feds. I'm not one for jumping ship.
Tyress : Do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
Lady Tara : Yes, Nina cause shes sweet and knows her stuff , Horses cause shes as crazy as I am , Scar cause she's the sweetest girl you can meet but in a ring, shes brutal ; Anarchy causes she's just insane , Arcana cause I want to be like her , Tiesa (Tiesa Piers - Lexenstar) cause she knows how to wow a crowd. TBH in all honesty, every female who steps in a ring. It takes guts.
Tyress : Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Lady Tara : I have idols. Triple H cause I based my persona as a female version of him. He took his character in a whole diff direction. Also, my name sake in TNA Tara. The females in RL are same as in SL, we work hard and yet still get underestimated.
Tyress : If you have a custom attire, what is it and what is the colors?
Lady Tara : Well, *smiles* I have a few custom outfits I wear. I tend to show my body more cause I look good. I tend to vary on attire, but i have a love of nylon and always wear pantyhose in my matches. My colours are black and purple.
Tyress : Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Lady Tara : Hmm, tough one but if I can pick one, I'd pit Numbers v Curt Bombastic in a street fight cause they would bring the house down.
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?
Lady Tara : Greifers. Some seem to enjoy ruining fun for people and it's sad cause we are here to have fun and work hard on putting on good shows. So they either try to crash sims or make rumours.
Tyress : If you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Lady Tara : 1 DCWF - cause I fight there and they have been so nice to me. 2 - HAWX cause it's an all female fed and the best females are there. and 3 - IW it's a new fed, but I've seen the shows and they do great work.
Tyress : What is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"?
Lady Tara : Friendly. Sure, in the ring, we are all business. It's part of the show but behind the scenes we help each other. No matter what the problem, some one will help and we support each other. It's why we are strong cause we care for each other. At end of the day, all we want to do is help and have fun.

Nova's interview with Rubie Jules
I'd like to thank Rubie for taking her time to make this interview i am sure you all will enjoy it and i hope you all missed the interviews! well they are back and will keep on going until the 1 year! so lets start!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Rubie Jules: Hi! My name is Rubie Jules and I am the Glamour Girl, VWE Bombshell and Manager
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Rubie Jules: As I already mentioned I'm the Glamour Girl. I picked the name out myself because when I was still new to the world of SL wrestling I pictured my character similar to WWF's Marlena. I wanted to be very classy and glamorous so the name just worked for me.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Rubie Jules: Well I had always been a big fan of the Sims games and eventually that drew me into PlayStation Home. It was allot of fun and I'd read the forums often and see people talk about Second Life every so often, that made me curious so I researched SL and eventually decided to play for myself. It didn't take long for me to abandon PS Home and focus on SL only.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: Before I found out about SL wrestling I had been a fan of RL wrestling for a whole decade. I had searched for WWF and WWE in SL but that didn't get me closer to SL wrestling. One day a friend of mine from a rp sim asked me to see her house and it was decorated like a wrestling arena. Turns out she ran a pose ball wrestling fed in SL and told me a bit about it wanting me to join. I didn't think it was for me, but it helped me learn about wrestling in SL which led me to search further and eventually find 2 feds I was interested in XWA and DCWF. Soon after I applied to both feds, but never heard back from DCWF and while watching a Loody Graves promo it really inspired me so we got to talking and he hired me in XWA.
How Did you debut in the ring? (First Ring appearance)
Rubie Jules: Well I had made a few appearances managing Vodka Doomdale while still a rookie, but that was just me trying to run before I could walk lol. I made my bombshell debuted in a XWA women's championship match booked by then GM Akasha Faulkes in her attempt to screw with then champion Vendetta. Of course I was just a rookie bombshell so I should pose no threat to Vendetta, but the match revealed my association with the newly formed dominant faction at the time Impac Mafia. Vendetta retained the title, but the whole thing provided me with an impressive in ring debut match.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Rubie Jules: Like I said I had been a long time fan of RL wrestling. My brothers and I would play SD vs RAW games at home and I'd often play a diva as the manager or special guest referee lol. Anyway once I found out that SL had wrestling shows I knew I wanted to be part of that.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: I don't think about that much, but I guess you could say I do, but it's not just a single achievement. First goal (in no particular order) is to one day hold the HAWX title again; nowadays HAWX has a much more diverse roster than when I was around so a part of me wants to see if I can hold the top championship in a fed full of top female wrestlers from various feds. My second goal to show the fans of SL wrestling that just because a female wrestler wants to be a "Diva" type it doesn't mean she can't also be a bad ass in the ring and even if my character is vain and beautiful and blond that doesn't mean she can't be a just as impressive as someone who would rather act all tough all the time. And last but not least I'd like be remembered as an entertainer and not necessarily the most awesome wrestler to ever step foot in an SL wrestling ring lol. I say this because in addition to putting on a good match fans watch wrestling to be entertained by characters and stories and that's what I love most about wrestling and what I focus on most as a wrestler.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Rubie Jules: I think what makes me special is that I don't take myself so seriously. I know what I could do and say that would make me appear more legit as a wrestler and more around the lines of a Jenn Parkin or an Anarchy Fang or even a Nanny Gothly, but that's not what my character's about. As a heel I'm there to be hated and to make the faces look good or mop the floor with them at times, but not everyone is the same or should be the same. I don't like to insult the fans often (IC) because I get allot more heat just acting self absorbed. Rubie Jules in the high school cheerleader who was always making fun of the geeks and getting the nerds to do her homework for her so she could have more time to party and hang out; someone who later grew up to be the head of the sorority who'd humiliate pledges and all the guys wanted to date. Being the top wrestler isn't the most important thing in my character's life, but don't you just hate it that I have everything I want?
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Rubie Jules: Currently I use Beauty's Deadly Cut which is a bicycle kick and the Twist of Beauty which is Daffney's old finisher Lobotomy
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: I started in SL wrestling in January of 2009 so about 2 and a half years now
do you have any Dream Matches?
Rubie Jules: I haven't gotten to face Vendetta many times since I started wrestling so I think with how my character has grown throughout my time in SL wrestling a rematch would be pretty cool. Jenn Parkin mopped the floor with me the only time we faced each other so a rematch would be good too. I don't think I'd beat Jenn now either, but I'd put on a much better fight than I did our first time around and gimmicks aside we're both talented wrestlers so it would be a great match. Besides those 2 I might want to face either of the Style Queens to see if their style can match my glamour lol.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Rubie Jules: That's such a hard question. I'll go with 3 seen which would be the Bryce Ketterley vs Adune Snowpaw Hangman's match, the Falls Count Anywhere match between Nanny Gothly and Elisa Riddler which resulted in Nanny falling down a waterfall and being missing for months and Benbe Kirax vs Seth Cameron (the one that led to Benbe's real title reign not the champion for a minute one lol)
Rubie Jules: My 2 been in matches would have to be Nanny Gothly vs myself in a lingerie pillow fight at HAWX. I think it was the first time that match had been done in SL and we provided alot of wrestling action in it in addition to the sexy lady action lol. My second would have to be you (Tyress Serevi) vs myself in the golden cage match at Wrestleseries 3. We had a good feud going on, the match itself was awesome and it went towards my goal of showing people that "Diva" types can still be tough.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Rubie Jules: Well VWE's the first fed I joined when I started wrestling and since I started wrestling 2 and a half years ago that means that's the time I've been in VWE too.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: In 2010 (year of my debut) I became the first VWE Bombshell Champion and I held the title a second time that same year becoming the first Bombshell to hold it twice. The same year at the Golden Rope Awards I was awarded the trophy for Rookie Bombshell of the Year and Manager of the Year. In 2011 I became the HAWX champion at the beginning of the year and the VWE Women's Champion at the end of the year.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Rubie Jules: I'd love to have a heel stable with Bryce Ketterley, MadMax Vaher and Stuart Warf and from other feds I'd include Numbers Rossini cause he makes me laugh when he commentates
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?
Rubie Jules: I'd pick Drewski Hoxley vs Loody Graves vs Benbe Kirax. Those 3 know how to tell a story and would put on a hell of a match.
who trained you?
Rubie Jules: The man I happen to manage now, the cornbread eating big baby of SL wrestling Derrick Cult.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Rubie Jules: I would say my top moment would have to be when I helped Seth Cameron betray the rest of the Impac Mafia. It was just a very unexpected moment as far as stories go and it was alot of fun to do.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: I'd like to thank Derrick Cult for training me as well as he did, Nanny Gothly and Vendetta for giving me as much freedom as they did in HAWX, Shinja Ugajin for offering me his insight into SL wrestling from his long experience in this world and Benbe Kirax for always believing in me and sticking up for me.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Rubie Jules: XWA/VWE and HAWX
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Rubie Jules: I would have to say Shinja Ugajin. He's been around a long time and he's seen it all and done it all, but I'm still amazed at all the great ideas he comes up with. It's like he just doesn't run out of ideas lol.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Rubie Jules: As a character I've always been inspired by Sable's gimmick and the way she handled herself. She never pretended she was the top wrestler and wasn't sold as such, but she still managed to be entertaining to watch. I also recently found out about a retired indy wrestler named Lana Star and have become a fan of her work even though she wasn't around very long. As far as wrestling ability goes I'm inspired by Gail Kim and Tara (Lisa Varon) because they're both awesome wrestlers and age hasn't slowed them down at all. Trish Stratus is also an inspiration of mine and has really proven one of my goals in SL wrestling (Diva types can be tough too), but I mention her last because she's become such a cliche answer.
what is your Attire made up of?
Rubie Jules: I don't have a single attire that I wear all the time, but I mostly wear combinations with black and pink, often black tights and pink tops. My character wears pink often as a connection to Barbie lol, rather than running away from the stereotypes I embrace them in a way because who's to say Barbie can't have a black belt in Karate?
as we know there is allot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Rubie Jules: Lots of things cause these rumors, there's no single reason for them. Some people start rumors out of jealousy, others because they just want bad things to happen to a specific wrestler or fed and some are just bored and are amused by all the drama these rumors start.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Rubie Jules: I'm not going to name 3 that are the absolute best because what's best is a matter of perception so I'm just going to name the feds I enjoy watching the most which are VWE, DCWF and HAWX.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Rubie Jules: It's a crazy and wonderful place lol. As with any community in the world it's never going to be a perfect place, there will always be people or entered feds who hate other people or entire feds and wish them harm. You can't cure stupid so I for one would rather focus on the positive side. There was a time when VWE was an outcast in the eyes of most in the community, but things change and now VWE's well received and new feds have become the persona non Grata so to speak. You can't please everyone so just focus on having fun and providing the fans with the best show you can and leave the drama to those who just can't live without it.

Dead End Predictions With Rubie Jules
Match 1:
Lee Valentine Vs Savannah Mohegan Who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I think Lee cause she's the veteran wrestler. Savannah's been around a long time, but Lee's more experienced in the ring.
Match 2:
Lily Martines Vs Nanny Gothly Who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I'm going to say Lily because she wants it more than Nanny I think.
Match 3:
Tag Team Championship 3-way match! Current Tag team Champions Struk brothers Vs Bad Intentions (Derrick cult & Jackson doune) Vs The Aussies ( Josh Poffo & Xander Lucas) Woo do you think wins and why?
Rubie Jules: I think my boys Derrick and Jackson will win. Both Derrick and Jackson are former World Champions and the Struks just don't have it in them to beat them this time. The Aussies have allot to prove before I can predict them winning a championship match.
Match 4:
Braden Karsin Vs Michael Karsin in a Loser leaves VWE Match who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I predict Braden will lose. He's a talented wrestler, but he hasn't appeared as convincing to me as Michael has.
Match 5:
Christina Krovac vs Tyress Serevi VWE Women's championship Rematch who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: My money's on Christina. That girl's really changed for the better and I'm sure she has some underhanded tricks up her sleeve in store for Tyress.
Match 6:
Benja Nirvana Vs Cody Houley VWE World heavyweight championship who wins and why?
Rubie Jules: I think Benja will retain this time. Cody's well on his way, but I don't think he can beat Benja just yet.
any last words?
Rubie Jules: Looks can be deceiving so don't hate me cause I'm beautiful *blows a kiss*
I'd also like to thank those that helps spreading the word out about this blog those being HAWX an all female promotion, UHW a fed thats growing strong and VWE almost 4 years old and is still going stronger then ever! if you'd like to be interviewed hit me up on Facebook or SL!

I say this because in addition to putting on a good match fans watch wrestling to be entertained by characters and stories and that's what I love most about wrestling and what I focus on most as a wrestler.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Rubie Jules: I think what makes me special is that I don't take myself so seriously. I know what I could do and say that would make me appear more legit as a wrestler and more around the lines of a Jenn Parkin or an Anarchy Fang or even a Nanny Gothly, but that's not what my character's about. As a heel I'm there to be hated and to make the faces look good or mop the floor with them at times, but not everyone is the same or should be the same. I don't like to insult the fans often (IC) because I get allot more heat just acting self absorbed. Rubie Jules in the high school cheerleader who was always making fun of the geeks and getting the nerds to do her homework for her so she could have more time to party and hang out; someone who later grew up to be the head of the sorority who'd humiliate pledges and all the guys wanted to date. Being the top wrestler isn't the most important thing in my character's life, but don't you just hate it that I have everything I want?
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Rubie Jules: Currently I use Beauty's Deadly Cut which is a bicycle kick and the Twist of Beauty which is Daffney's old finisher Lobotomy
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: I started in SL wrestling in January of 2009 so about 2 and a half years now
do you have any Dream Matches?
Rubie Jules: I haven't gotten to face Vendetta many times since I started wrestling so I think with how my character has grown throughout my time in SL wrestling a rematch would be pretty cool. Jenn Parkin mopped the floor with me the only time we faced each other so a rematch would be good too. I don't think I'd beat Jenn now either, but I'd put on a much better fight than I did our first time around and gimmicks aside we're both talented wrestlers so it would be a great match. Besides those 2 I might want to face either of the Style Queens to see if their style can match my glamour lol.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Rubie Jules: That's such a hard question. I'll go with 3 seen which would be the Bryce Ketterley vs Adune Snowpaw Hangman's match, the Falls Count Anywhere match between Nanny Gothly and Elisa Riddler which resulted in Nanny falling down a waterfall and being missing for months and Benbe Kirax vs Seth Cameron (the one that led to Benbe's real title reign not the champion for a minute one lol)
Rubie Jules: My 2 been in matches would have to be Nanny Gothly vs myself in a lingerie pillow fight at HAWX. I think it was the first time that match had been done in SL and we provided alot of wrestling action in it in addition to the sexy lady action lol. My second would have to be you (Tyress Serevi) vs myself in the golden cage match at Wrestleseries 3. We had a good feud going on, the match itself was awesome and it went towards my goal of showing people that "Diva" types can still be tough.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Rubie Jules: Well VWE's the first fed I joined when I started wrestling and since I started wrestling 2 and a half years ago that means that's the time I've been in VWE too.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: In 2010 (year of my debut) I became the first VWE Bombshell Champion and I held the title a second time that same year becoming the first Bombshell to hold it twice. The same year at the Golden Rope Awards I was awarded the trophy for Rookie Bombshell of the Year and Manager of the Year. In 2011 I became the HAWX champion at the beginning of the year and the VWE Women's Champion at the end of the year.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Rubie Jules: I'd love to have a heel stable with Bryce Ketterley, MadMax Vaher and Stuart Warf and from other feds I'd include Numbers Rossini cause he makes me laugh when he commentates
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?
Rubie Jules: I'd pick Drewski Hoxley vs Loody Graves vs Benbe Kirax. Those 3 know how to tell a story and would put on a hell of a match.
who trained you?
Rubie Jules: The man I happen to manage now, the cornbread eating big baby of SL wrestling Derrick Cult.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Rubie Jules: I would say my top moment would have to be when I helped Seth Cameron betray the rest of the Impac Mafia. It was just a very unexpected moment as far as stories go and it was alot of fun to do.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: I'd like to thank Derrick Cult for training me as well as he did, Nanny Gothly and Vendetta for giving me as much freedom as they did in HAWX, Shinja Ugajin for offering me his insight into SL wrestling from his long experience in this world and Benbe Kirax for always believing in me and sticking up for me.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Rubie Jules: XWA/VWE and HAWX
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Rubie Jules: I would have to say Shinja Ugajin. He's been around a long time and he's seen it all and done it all, but I'm still amazed at all the great ideas he comes up with. It's like he just doesn't run out of ideas lol.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Rubie Jules: As a character I've always been inspired by Sable's gimmick and the way she handled herself. She never pretended she was the top wrestler and wasn't sold as such, but she still managed to be entertaining to watch. I also recently found out about a retired indy wrestler named Lana Star and have become a fan of her work even though she wasn't around very long. As far as wrestling ability goes I'm inspired by Gail Kim and Tara (Lisa Varon) because they're both awesome wrestlers and age hasn't slowed them down at all. Trish Stratus is also an inspiration of mine and has really proven one of my goals in SL wrestling (Diva types can be tough too), but I mention her last because she's become such a cliche answer.
what is your Attire made up of?
Rubie Jules: I don't have a single attire that I wear all the time, but I mostly wear combinations with black and pink, often black tights and pink tops. My character wears pink often as a connection to Barbie lol, rather than running away from the stereotypes I embrace them in a way because who's to say Barbie can't have a black belt in Karate?
as we know there is allot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Rubie Jules: Lots of things cause these rumors, there's no single reason for them. Some people start rumors out of jealousy, others because they just want bad things to happen to a specific wrestler or fed and some are just bored and are amused by all the drama these rumors start.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Rubie Jules: I'm not going to name 3 that are the absolute best because what's best is a matter of perception so I'm just going to name the feds I enjoy watching the most which are VWE, DCWF and HAWX.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Rubie Jules: It's a crazy and wonderful place lol. As with any community in the world it's never going to be a perfect place, there will always be people or entered feds who hate other people or entire feds and wish them harm. You can't cure stupid so I for one would rather focus on the positive side. There was a time when VWE was an outcast in the eyes of most in the community, but things change and now VWE's well received and new feds have become the persona non Grata so to speak. You can't please everyone so just focus on having fun and providing the fans with the best show you can and leave the drama to those who just can't live without it.

Dead End Predictions With Rubie Jules
Match 1:
Lee Valentine Vs Savannah Mohegan Who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I think Lee cause she's the veteran wrestler. Savannah's been around a long time, but Lee's more experienced in the ring.
Match 2:
Lily Martines Vs Nanny Gothly Who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I'm going to say Lily because she wants it more than Nanny I think.
Match 3:
Tag Team Championship 3-way match! Current Tag team Champions Struk brothers Vs Bad Intentions (Derrick cult & Jackson doune) Vs The Aussies ( Josh Poffo & Xander Lucas) Woo do you think wins and why?
Rubie Jules: I think my boys Derrick and Jackson will win. Both Derrick and Jackson are former World Champions and the Struks just don't have it in them to beat them this time. The Aussies have allot to prove before I can predict them winning a championship match.
Match 4:
Braden Karsin Vs Michael Karsin in a Loser leaves VWE Match who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I predict Braden will lose. He's a talented wrestler, but he hasn't appeared as convincing to me as Michael has.
Match 5:
Christina Krovac vs Tyress Serevi VWE Women's championship Rematch who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: My money's on Christina. That girl's really changed for the better and I'm sure she has some underhanded tricks up her sleeve in store for Tyress.
Match 6:
Benja Nirvana Vs Cody Houley VWE World heavyweight championship who wins and why?
Rubie Jules: I think Benja will retain this time. Cody's well on his way, but I don't think he can beat Benja just yet.
any last words?
Rubie Jules: Looks can be deceiving so don't hate me cause I'm beautiful *blows a kiss*
