Welcome to another edition of the interviews! we just hit another milestone that being 5,000 Page Views! i am real excited about this! and I also thank this week's guest being Bryce Lexenstar i hope you all will enjoy the interview! Enjoy!!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Bryce Lexenstar: My name is Bryce Lexenstar. I've been involved in SL Wrestling now for about 2 years.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Bryce Lexenstar: My stage name is "Bad Attitude". I've had it from day one simply because of my genuine lack of a vocal filter. However, it hasn't been until recently that I've truly come into the moniker.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Bryce Lexenstar: I used to do online RP back in an old chat program Vp/Halsoft. But when that reached a "Pay to Play" situation, alot of the people migrated here. The continuation of the original game waned, but I stuck around.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: Malena and I were just strolling through SL when we stumbled onto an empty OEW wrestling arena. At first I was skeptical, thinking it would be rather tacky. But we came back for a couple of shows and I was just so entertained that I wanted to get involved.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: Well I was always a fan of Wrestling RL. My excitement for the televised stuff dwindles from time to time, but it's always there. So there was an interest. Then when I seen the actual product, it was just something I had to check out.
what was your debut like and who did you face?
Bryce Lexenstar: Never wracking. I am without a doubt my own worst critic, so I was so leery of going out there looking like an imbecile. Sadly, I don't get the privilege of boasting a monumental first opponent. My initial match was against Taylor Pain.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: I guess my "Dream" would just simply be able to have people remember my name and talk about how I was a thorough competitor. Both in the ring and on the stick. To know that I gave it my all everytime and that people enjoyed it.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think it's that I strive to make him balanced. He's brash and assertive on the mic, but he's also got the intellect to gain the upper hand. And in the ring, he's more than capable to get the job done. He's adaptable to whatever scenario he finds himself in.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Bryce Lexenstar: He has a few. There's the original "Riot Act", which is a vertebreaker. Recently he's adapted a couple more; the "Southwest Spinout", which is a pretty nasty spinning Impaler. And he has the "Del Ray Drive-by", and that is swinging reverse STO
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: Just a bit shy of 2 years.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Bryce Lexenstar: That's a bit of a tough question for me. I mean I look at any potential match as a dream. I would have to say working with names that everyone knows...Zane, Bombastic, Fury, etc.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Bryce Lexenstar: Just off the top of my head, I would have to say...Tiesa and Maxine's Hardcore Title match at HAWX's Summer Daze was a great display. Derrick's match with David at Immortality II just had the perfect elements of physicality and emotions to be amazing. Arcana's match with Honey for her shot at the title, the turn of Adriana just made an impact that you KNEW hell was about to be unleashed. The No Limits Title Ladder match at IW's Full Metal was just insane. And thought not really talked about, I would say Scott Hex's match with Buger Shan when he lost his mask. It proved to be a pivotal and major altering point for Hex's career.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Bryce Lexenstar: I've been competing for Intense Wrestling since March.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: During my previous time with OEW I obtained the Hardcore Championship as well as the Heavyweight Title. With Intense I became the first, and current No Limits Champion. But as far as personal accomplishments, I would say that just hearing crowd response...getting IMs from fans as well as other Wrestlers, on a job well done when I get to the back. Be it a promo or a match.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Bryce Lexenstar: Hmm, now this is just for my own personal grins. But for an inter gender stable; the thoughts of seeing a return of Heel Derrick Zane, teaming up with Arcana, Tiesa, and myself...just makes me chuckle. The thought of how absolutely brutal and entertaining it would be if the four of us just cut loose with a live mic just makes me chuckle.
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?
Bryce Lexenstar: That's another tough one. I _knew_ this would a question and I just kept stewing over it. I would have to say that I would go with Anarchy and Drewski, just for the sheer fact that they are both ridiculously resourceful when the situation calls for it.
who trained you?
Bryce Lexenstar: If we want to get "technical", Curt Bombastic and Derrick Zane initially taught me the ropes of the system. After that, I would have to say it's been a conjoined effort from everyone I've encountered. Hell, even some I've never worked with. You ask advice and hints, and some people simply make suggestions. I think with the evolving nature of wrestling, you're always training.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think my top moment really has nothing to do with my "in ring" career per say. I think it would be that when you get a message from someone like Scott Hex, thanking you for being there and helping them get on their feet in this whole wrestling scene. Having him tell me that he truly appreciates all the help along the way and that he credits me with him getting to the success he's having. That would have to be my personal moment.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: The people I would thank? I can't really name out specific people, it would be every person that's given me encouragement, support, advise, and opportunities. As well as the fans that come week in and week out to watch us perform for them. Yea, we all love wrestling and would do it anyhow; but to know that it's appreciated and anticipated by people makes it even more worthwhile.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Bryce Lexenstar: As I already mentioned, I started off in OEW. After deciding to leave there, I went to DCWF for a short period of time, however due to some real life conflicts and whatnot I felt that I couldn't really give my all to them and that wasn't fair for anyone. Now I am in Intense, as well as returning to OEW and doing things at APW, aaand an occasional helping in at HAWX when I can.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: There's a few actually. There's guys like Maven Gothly and Glen Dundren, who go above and behind to rise up from any and every 8-ball they've gotten stuck behind. Then there's guys like Bloodhawk, who you can just tell has an absolute love for what he does and is always 110% into what he's doing. Then there's the people like Ryan Fury, Derrick Zane, Broly Blackheart, Nanny Gothly, Vendetta, etc., that take their passion even further and do everything they can to run a Federation and provide a platform for all of us.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I would have to say I look to the true performers. The ones that have that "It", they can turn you into the biggest fan and then make you snap and want to see them suffer with a simple gesture. The first one to come to mind current would be HHH. But I also get inspiration from the people that have that uncanny ability to just utterly manipulate with a mic, like Chris Jericho.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Bryce Lexenstar: They are black bike shorts style tights with silver trim, with my knuckles logo on the front, "Made In Detroit" on the sides. Along with black wrist tape, and basic boots and kneepads.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think it all boils down to the individual. Sometimes it starts over past grudges that can't or won't be let go. Other times it's over a conflict of beliefs. All in all I think it ultimately boils down to the fact that this is a virtual environment, and people tend to lean towards the belief that they're indestructible. If people would take into consider how they would handle things in their real life outside of SL, and approached it that way....it'd curb a lot of the issues. Folks tend to use their screen as a shield, and think that it won't have an adverse effect on alot more people than their initial target. There's a big ripple effect from even the smallest thing.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I don't really know if I can. Each Federation has their strong key points. Trying to meld all the aspects into a generalized top 3 is tough. It boils down to what people like. Each Fed has it's own vibe and feel, that's why there are so many.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Bryce Lexenstar: The community as a whole has a solid amount of potential. It's if people can become the mature adults we all strive to be outside of SL that makes the change. Like I eluded to previously, if everyone would start taking any and all things into consideration before blindly firing into the darkness of an unknown situation, the sky is the limit. Until then, I think it'll be rough. The Community showcased what it was capable of for Give Back, we all need to tap back into that mentality.

APW Ignition Prediction
APW Ignition Card:
Match 1 Phara Akula Vs Wulla Zeblin - who wins and why?
A: Hmm, tough call. I haven't seen Phara in the ring, and I only seen Wulla once....I'd have to go with a coin toss and call Phara, because she holds the total unknown variable.
Match 2: Abbadon Vs Curt Bombastic - who wins and why?
A: Abbadon is this freak huge monster, Curt's got the experience. I'd have to say if someone has the knowledge to face this beast and beat him, it'd be Curt.
Match 3: Women's Championship Honey Bluntz Vs Skye Hansum - Who wins and why?
A: Honey, she's turned this new leaf (Pun kinda intended) and she's been brutal. Not to mention, she'll be looking for the momentum going into Starrbrawl.
Main Event!: Mixed Tag team non-intergender match -Broly Black heart & Toxic Fang w/Michael Karsin Vs Bryce Lexenstar & Anarchy Fang W/ Scott Hex - Who wins and why?
A: Bryce and Anarchy, cause well obviously....I'm not betting AGAINST myself lol
any last words?
Bryce Lexenstar: Only that I see a bright future for SL Wrestling as long as we strive to work together. And to do the shameless plug, -grins- August 25th, VWWA Starrbrawl! Four federations, 3 totally recognized Championships. It's going to be an epic thing....I'm really excited to be a part of it and hope everyone comes to see the action!

Broly Blackheart Sr.: well from a year ago, it has improved with new feds popping up, give back 2012, was a great indication where the community is heading, when people put opinion's aside and work together, but the community can be a bit opinionated on other people, which is why "turf wars" do start some time.

Broly Blackheart Sr.: i got tired of empty promises, and fake talk, so when apw had its first preview show we had a few people, which is how ignition got born.
Tyress: has there been any regrets?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: actually i only have one regret, but its more of a personal thing kept private.
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in APW?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: Justine Bailey Vs Honey Bluntz on the Elevation X at casino royale, Scott Hex Vs Myself, which was an electric steel cage match for control of apw, Anarchy Fang Vs Toxic Fang, Maven Gothly Vs Scott hex at casino royale, and Deamon Rage Vs Romlic The Rebel Diamond which was a ladder match for the apw intercontinental title, for summer brawl.
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: Curt Bombastic Vs Derrick Zane (still continuing) Alexius Gant Vs Danilo Mathers (VWWF) Wofly Kessel Vs Acheron nightfire (UHW) Sports Entertainment Xtreme vs the entire V.w.w.a (still going) and Cody Houley Vs Benja Nirvana (VWE)
Tyress: Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Broly Blackheart Sr: i think this is one all of us would love to see Ryan Fury Vs Numbers Rossini Vs Seth Cameron Vs David Hawk Actor
Tyress: has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: Truthfully no it hasn't, there has been very stress full moments, where it pushes on my nerves, but i still stay in there and keep shows going.,
Tyress: as we know there is alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Rumors are just basically a hindrance of someones true personality over time, people only judge by people's reputations, if people were to get past that, THEN it would make things a lot better.
Tyress: is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Well as people are aware apw is aligned with hawx, intense wrestling and oew, which is part of the virtual world wrestling alliance. hence VWWA, but if i would want someone to come work along side apw as well it would have to be vwwf and uhw, they both have some incredible talent.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Broly Blackheart Sr. (broly.yakubu): hmm it would be hard, to name the top 3 feds in sl wrestling, cause it would stir the pot, with other feds trying to get their name out there.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Broly Blackheart Sr.: well from a year ago, it has improved with new feds popping up, give back 2012, was a great indication where the community is heading, when people put opinion's aside and work together, but the community can be a bit opinionated on other people, which is why "turf wars" do start some time.

Nova's Interview with Derrick Zane
I'd like to thank Derrick once agian for taking his time to make this interview and on becoming my 40th Interview since day 1! I hope that you all will enjoy this interview and i am still looking for more people to interview so hit me up if your interested! ;) anyway enjoy!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Derrick Zane: I am Derrick Zane, the self proclaimed "Only Name in SL Wrestling you need to know." One of the founders of OEW, uHw, and the V.W.W.A.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Derrick Zane: The nickname "Only name is yadda yadda come about as a means to gather heat in a story line that was done back in my first run with OEW. The face of the company was being built to take on the big bad bully that was Derrick and in a promo I proclaimed the title as a means to underscore the promo I was cutting at the time, it just sort of stuck after that.
Who did you face in your First match ever and who won?
Derrick Zane: If I recall my first match was with David HawkActor back in Sinnies Birthright Pro Wrestling, and I can't recall if he went over or if I did. He might recall.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Derrick Zane: My birth date is a little misleading, I have been off and on in SL for about five years or so, I first came on when I saw a promotion about it on the Internet and found that it was a cheep and interesting way to interact with people from around the world. There was not a lot though that held my interest for long periods of time, not until I re-discovered the community.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I had been vaguely aware of it for a while before I got involved, but did not really understand what it was, I had thought it was a sort of combat hud, like the CCS, and as such I had a wrong impression, until I watched a few VWE shows back when they were still under the old name. At that time neither VWE or DCWF was interested in bring in new talent and there was no word on if they ever would so I tracked down Alpins shop and bought the moves for myself and a few alts, then set about learning it. That's when I discovered BPW, and through that Savannah's SWF.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I am a worker in real life, I know that there are many who make this claim, I do however have several videos that back up my claim, including a bit part in a truly truly bad film called Dragon quest. When I started wrestling in the real world, I was already fairly old, and as such I knew that there was only so far I would go, and I'm okay with that, but if I could share what I learned with others who for what ever reason would never even get that much of a chance then it was worth the time and effort.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I've already achieved the first major goal I set for myself, I was able to pour what I know into a green rookie, and watch as said rookie developed into one of the best performers in our community, if I have a legacy its called Nina Prater.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Derrick Zane: This will seem strange, considering the Zane personality, but I don't really think about how much if any influence I may or may not have, I'm not a big self promoter, I suppose what makes Derrick Zane the heel good is that most everyone hates a bully, especially a bully that never quite seems to get his comeuppance the way we would lie to see. Zane the face, is I suppose a little less jerk and a little more the real me, if I, myself, happen to be special in any way, its news to me.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Derrick Zane: I have a few, the first finnish I used regularly was the standing power bomb, after that it was the Air Raid Smash, a vertical suplex base that ended with the opponent being dropped neck first on my bent knee as we came down, the finnish I use now is a standing Burning Hammer called "The Business."
Cornbread Yay or Nay?
Derrick Zane: I have nothing against Cornbread, but I'm more of a pie man myself.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: A little over two years now, closely running up on three.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Derrick Zane: Every match has in it the ability to be of a "dream" caliber. It just takes the right mix of psychology, chemistry, crowd, announcers and a give and take freely mentality on the part of the workers, so I suppose anyone I would face can be seen as a dream match.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Derrick Zane: I don't often watch the matches myself, usually I am involved in the backstage coordinating aspect of a show, but a few that I did get to watch and enjoyed very much were Ryan Fury Vs. Brett Braveheart at First Contact for the first Multi Fed championship, the then called Television Title, also a great match was the Prater Sisters Vs. The Style Queens also from First Contact. I liked the dynamic between Mythil and Big Evil at DCWF and I have yet to not like any of Drewski's work.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Derrick Zane: OEW was founded by my speaking to Lex Umaga, who in turn spoke to David HawkActor, who in-turn brought his brother Jedrick on board. So with the exception of the year or so where I had left due to disagreement with David over the future of OEW, its existence, IW, Intense Wrestling, was founded by Ryan Fury who asked me to come back into SL wrestling after I had left uHw over personal issues, that was back in late December, and I have been involved with APW since Brolly Blackheart Sr. asked me if I would like to perform there, about two or three months ago I think.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: Nina Prater.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Derrick Zane: I would like to have the chance to work with most everyone, but for all the progress that our community has made, there is still a lot further to go, so some people that I would like to work with, Benja, Drewski, Shinja...exct. I just have to accept that back stage politics will keep that from happening and focus on the things that can be done.
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?
Derrick Zane: Honestly, I would like to see a story line between Drewski and Bryce Lexenstar, the only issue is something like that you don't just hot shot in one night, if you gave me a three to four month run up to that ME then sure, I would say the same for a Nina Prater V Misaki match.
who trained you?
Derrick Zane: "Youth Suicide" Andre Verdun, also known as "The Evil Lonestar" as for here in SL, I tinkered enough with he system to learn the basics and got a lot of help from JWolf Viper and Savannah Mohegan
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Derrick Zane: Tagging with Nina Prater against Wolfy Kessel and his lady Izzy. I know I bring Nina up alot, but I have kind of a big brother/dad complex were in Nina is concerned, one of the proudest moments I ever had was to hear from the much reviled Eric Stewart that a promo she cut in the ring at OEW had got to him on such an emotional level that he was wanting to find Even Briggs, and do the avatar physical harm for firing Nina via Fed Ex. And understand, Nina had to come a long way getting past her shyness and fear of how people would react to her voice, that i think are my best moments thus far.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: Ryan Fury, Lex Umaga, Bryce Lexenstar, Tiesa Peirs, Aislinne Drakostuu, Maven Gothly, Glen Dundren, Brolly Blackheart, Scott Hexicola, Bloodjack, Giles Smithington, on and on and on. Everyone who gives of their time, and their selves to go out and put on the best live show that they can, who steps up to help pull the rope so to speak, that's who I want to thank, in what ever promotion you wrestle for, thank you for being you.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Derrick Zane: In order, BPW, SWF, OEW, uWs, uHw, IW, OEW again, APW.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Derrick Zane: Yes, two names, and they are not the names that everyone would expect, Nina is obvious but not who I am thinking of. Maven Gothly and Glen Dundren, they are two guys who have had a massive amount of collective sand kicked in their faces by a lot of people, and many times justly so, but then when have any of us been perfect? But I name them because no matter how much people take a crap on them, they keep coming back, they keep trying to improve themselves and they still have the desire to give to a community that often enough wants to spit in their faces and dismiss them outright. If that's not inspiration then I guess its called something else.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Derrick Zane: I am the worlds biggest Roddy Piper mark and I will fight whoever else claims to be so with broken bottles and chains if need be. I am always inspired by Andre and Gorge Gonzales a.k.a. Carnage, my other real life trainer, and by the man that trained them "The Human Horror Show" Supreme, they are three men, men who didn't have to accept a guy who was obviously never going to make it to the New York or Orlando shows, yet they gave of themselves without question or second thought and showed me that a dream could be achieved, even if it comes around a little late in life.
If you have a custom Attire what does it look like?
Derrick Zane: I make all my own gear, with the exception of my wrist tape and knee pads, simply because I'm not that good as small line artwork, as for my ring gear its self, I wear MMA style bike shorts, of various colors, but dominantly black and silver or black and white when working heel and UCLA Gold and Blue or Dodger Blue and white with red when working face, combined with matching Wingtip style boots.
what was your goals when you founded the federations you've been in?
Derrick Zane: OEW was created as a place to A. provide a foot in the door for new talent to the community, as I said DCWF and VWE were not interested in new people at the time, so our idea was to give another place for people who wanted to learn a shot at it, uWs and its change to uHw was for myself a desire to work with people I was never going to get the chance to, bare in mind I didn't want to leave OEW in the first place, we simply couldn't come to an agreement. IW was started to see if the ideas that were taught to myself and Ryan from our real life trainers could actually work here in SL and I feel they are proving to be very relevant. APW is Brolly and Scotts baby, I just work there. As for the V.W.W.A. its not a fed, but more of an organization to allow for greater communication between member feds, as well as the vessel to create the first ever multi fed recognized SL Worlds Heavyweight, Worlds Woman's, and Worlds Tag Team champions. Some might think its all the same company, and yes I can see why that may confuse, but all one has to do is ask and observe and it will become very clear what the V.W.W.A. is.
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in OEW?
Derrick Zane: Tiesa Piers Vs. Anarchy Fang for the OEW women's title at the first show I had as the official owner of OEW after my return, as it was an affirmation that OEW would not die, it might be limping and breathing hard, but its far from dead. The Buried Alive match I had with Francis Constantine, he was a guy who embodied everything that was good about OEW, hard work, determination, and a desire to learn. When he was looking at not having a home at the time, much less Internet, he wanted to be "removed" from OEW in a special way, that match was for him his reward for all his efforts and to my knowledge the only match of its kind ever held at OEW and ever will be held at OEW until he returns, if I have anything to say about it. Okita Thor and JWolf Viper put on very good matches when they gelled just right, most every match I had with David was solid and my favorite was the Thommy Connolly Vs. Even Briggs "Boston Street Fight"
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I would say the biggest story that I am aware of currently is Even Briggs seeking to control all the member feds of the V.W.W.A. with his various cronies and the faces of the member feds trying to rally against him. My feud with Bryce Lexenstar has been interesting. I enjoy the hell out of the Fang Sisters vs. Tiesa Vs. Themselves Vs. Everyone they can get their hands on, and I loved the Nina Prater Vs. Arcana over at Hawx, very proud of her to see that she could overcome her fear and win that gold.
has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Derrick Zane: No, far from it. There are some who believe me to be arrogant, or an elitist, I've even been called the "Illuminati" of Sl Wrestling, but i wont apologize for sticking to the tools that I know work, some claim that what we do is a role playing experience, but let me ask you the reader a question, when you role play, do you have an audience watching you role dice? What we are doing at every fed is putting on live entertainment, Pro Wrestling is simply the greatest example of high entertainment on a low budget there is, and the SL version should not be different, yes the physicality is non existent, there for the psychology should always be stronger and what may get me in-trouble with others is that they don't realize that there are choices they make that ultimately hurt them in the long run in terms of getting the crowds attention and keeping it.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Derrick Zane: A lack of communication, plane and simple. If all you hear is. "That guy said this." But your not sure if it happened, then go ask that guy. uWs and OEW were in the midst of a dumb ass bickering fight ob face-book and other social means a while back, each side would accuse the other of something bad but no one really wanted to talk like normal people, just accuse and hurl insults back and forth, at the end of the day, when all the smoke cleared it ended with uWs becoming uHw and a lot of hurt feelings on both sides over things that never existed, or never truly mattered, and what hurts the most is that there could have been great things both companies could have done together, but because no one wanted to actually talk to the other-side, it was all waisted.
is there any certain Federation you would want to work with OEW?
Derrick Zane: I am open to any and all, but I'm a realist and I know that not everyone is as willing as I am, do I like that VAW runs directly on top of my show, no, its a hindrance and it denies fans a chance to see both programs, but that's Vince's choice to make. I would like to see other feds join the V.W.W.A. but that's a choice each company needs to make for themselves, so I don't go hounding others about it. If others want to they will, if they don't, they wont and that's okay to, some one once accused Seth Cameron and Numbers Rossini of trying to monopolies all of SL wrestling, hell I've even said it in times of annoyance and frustration, but the truth is this, when Alpin released the system to the community he let the Genie out of the bottle, and there is no putting it back in.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Derrick Zane: How would you rate a fed that would be A. fair and B. factual?
Tyress: whatever your opinion bases on :)
Derrick Zane: Every operation has its strengths and weaknesses, an arbitrary ranking is far from accurate or even telling of what each promotion brings to the table.
Derrick Zane: Well I'll put it this way, if I named DCWF the top promotion, I'm sure that there will be members of VWE who feel that they are, and vice a verse. To say nothing of the people at uHw, or IW or APW, or VAW, ext ext. A ranking of promotions without specifics, of which we don't have the time or blog space to get into would be folly
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Derrick Zane: It has come a long way, yet it still has an even greater way to go, its like any community of alpha minded people, its a chaotic, raucous, brawling kind of thing, but that is in its self a part of its charm, the SL Pro Wrestling community is a living thing, and its going to continue to grow and change as its component parts continue to grow and change that's why it's important to not just seek out new talent, but to nurture it, develop it and help all the new faces reach the pinnacles of their potential, so that they can continue the cycle, cause if we don't, it will stagnate and die, and if we let that happen, then whats the point of yelling and screaming and getting pissed off at each-other in the first place then?
Tyress: Ten Question Game! i will say 10 names/words say the first thing that pops up in your head..
1: Legend
A: Alpin Criss
2: Derrick Cult
A: The Other Derrick
3: Best Gimmick
A: Currently "Sir Giles Smithington the IV, XVIIth Earl of Wigan" The current OEW Television Champion.
4: Top 3 Hardcore Legends
A: Derrick Zane: Hardcore without meaning is to me is a watering down of the style, so with that I will name three names that most wont agree with, and that's okay, Okita Thor, Curt Bombastic, and Francis Constantine, each of them made the story matter in their hard core matches, in my opinion.
5: Nemesis
A: The Northern United States *Canada* Watered Down Stunt man Version of Derrick Zane, one Curt bombastic.
6: Top Comedian
A: Benja, Sir Giles, Ryan Fury, Bazza Windlow, Jerico Scarbridge and if I may allow myself the indulgence, Derrick Zane.
7: Top Technical
A: Vince Easterwood, Ryan Fury, Misaki Yumako, Drewski, and Maven Gothly, when he focuses and calms down, he's very good in the ring.
8: Top Brawler
A: Big Evil, Ranma Yoshirro, Scott Hex, and his brother Damien Hex, again when he calms down and focuses on making the match more important then himself.
9: Best of the Best
A: Hard to say, without a specific category its far to vague a question to answer with a couple of names. Benja is great as a funny man, getting better as a serious voice in the ring, Shinja is great at making you dispell belife, Drew is the most white meat baby face I have ever seen, Lex umaga as Even Briggs is great at pushing a crowds buttons wit-out even locking up with an opponent, Nina is great for not just telling you a story, but pulling you in to care on that emotional level. I like to think I'm pretty great on the stick *microphone*
10: Who would you not want to face in an alley?
Derrick Zane: If the avatars were real?
Tyress: mhm
A: Vladimir Poliatevskia, Jacknife Mc Mullens, Exotica just cause that would be creepy, Benja I'm not scared of, I'd offer him a lot lizard and then run the other way.
Tyress: Kings And Queens these are not who holds current belts or was the best champions. but who you think are the Best in their division
1: King Of UHW
A: King: Curt Bombastic, as he knows whats needed to elevate the others around him.
1: Queen of UHW
A: Queen: Honey Bluntz, as she can work with just about anyone in the ring and give you a five star match
2: King of DCWF
A: Currently the King to me is Mythil, to be that persistent, and posses that much longevity as he has and finally show everyone that you don't have to be a giant to get over in DCWF.
2: Queen of DCWF
A: Queen: Nina Prater...cause.....well just cause. So there.
3: Queen of HAWX
A: Qweens: Arcana, Nina, Isabelle, Tiesa...exct exct
3: Princess of HAWX
A: Princes, not sure I would call Bazza a prince, he's a card, just not sure its a prince.
4: King of VWE
A: If I had to name a king of VWE it would be Benja, for now. but there is a kid named John Struck who has his head on right, he's hungry to learn and whats most important he's humble enough to ask questions on how he can get even better, and that is way more important then I can possibly make clear.
4: Queen of VWE
A: Queen? Nanners and Vendetta returning may be a one two tandem that will shake up a division that has been carried by a few for a while, combine them with Lilly, your looking at a breath of fresh air that's been needed for a while now, good things to come from that I feel.
5: King of OEW
A: OEW has been in a decline for a while, and its not the fault of a few as some want to claim, its the victim of situation, but we will rebuild, we will get stronger and we will continue on. Who are the queen and king? Wel
5: Queen of OEW
A: Queen is a tie between Aisline and Tiesa, the amount of work, heart and soul they put into it is without measure, as for kings, Bloodhawk is a kid who has a speech impediment, and many feel he is held back by that from being a successful performer much less a champion that people would want to care about, but his work ethic is such that if all I had was Bloodhawks on the roster, I would gladly go into battle and know I would come out on top.
6: King of IW
A: Over IW way you got Bryce, Bazza, Resin, Jerrico, Ari Lane when he returns after getting his college situation settled, though I'd rather he focus on that rather then SL wrestling,
6: Queen of IW
A: Queens are Victoria Vain, and the sisters Fang.
7: King of APW
A: But the Kings and Queens over at APW are to me, the Blackhearts, Deamon Rage and this monster of a man he found to tag with him, some guy called Abbadon.
7: Queen of APW
A: Queens to me are again Honey Bluntz and the Deviant Darlings.
Match Predictions!
APW's Ignition:
Match 1: Maven Gothly Vs Thommy Connoly Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Both competitors have their strength, Gothly has that mean streak and killer instinct that you need in wrestling, but then again so does Connolly, but were I give the advantage to Connolly lies in his experience and the Celtic Knot submission he has developed, once your in the knot, you don't get out till old man Connolly lets you out.
Match 2: Angelique Vs Iris Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Angelique is a tough competitor, tough and determined, but then Iris is a bit of a wild card, she's very mysterious, most in the APW have never seen her perform yet, so if Iris is smart she's been scouting, formulating a game plan while remaining an unknown quantity.
Match 3: Josh Poffo Vs Scott Hex - APW World championship match Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: I'm a little biased on that one, mostly because it was one of Scott's fellow Sports Entertainment Extreme members, Bryce Lexenstar that put me on the shelf, so I'm tossing my weight behind Josh Poffo, not just simply because he's a great competitor, but simply screw S.E.X. and all its members.
Main event!: Bryce Lexenstar Vs Michael Karsin Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Michale Karsin, why? Cause of no one is looking, I fully intend to hit Bryce with my car, three or four times...in a row.
HAWX's Scorn!
Match 1: HAWX Championship match - Nina Prater Vs Crystal Neutron Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Nina Prater wins, because she has the heart, the talent and the training of yours truly backing her up. No need for crossing fingers, no need for clever words of long winded speeches, Nina Prater with or without gold is a champion, plain and simple.
Match 2: Jessie Kalil Vs Maxine Darkwatch - Non Title - Who Wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: I got to toss my support behind Maxine on that one, simply due to the influence of experience, you can't substitute it, you can't measure it, you earn it, and that in the long run helps you more then anything else.
Match 3: Anarchy Fang & Tara Duffield Vs Princess Aurora & Toxic Fang who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Sheesh, can you have a winner when the Fang sisters are standing outside a ring, most likely holding sharp sticks and grinning? I would say that Aurora's strength is the factor, if the Sisters Fang weren't involved, but Tarra's fear of Anarchy is something that can't be accounted for.
Main Event!: Paulz Vs Isabelle Martinezwho wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Paulz is a world class competitor, make no mistake about it, she's got experience, she got strength and size, but there is some weird thing that drives Isabelle, some weird inner drive that makes her almost inhuman. I'm not sure who will win, but I'm damn sure its going to be an instant classic.
if you could give one advice to a rookie that just joined SL wrestling what would that advice be?
Derrick Zane: Ask, listen and learn. Ask your vets how things are done, and not just one, ask any who will talk to you. When they do tell you the answers, listen to them, even if it doesn't make sense at the time, it will later on, and finally learn what they tell you, absorb it, and use your new tools to always get better.
What is your thoughts on this Interview?
Derrick Zane: There are times were I feel that your interviews may be geared towards a certain section of the community, to the exclusion of the other half, intentional or not, most likely not, its still a feeling that a few out there share. Perhaps this interview will help to release some of the tensions and feelings of resentment. I am ultimately hopeful, its why I do this, if I didn't care about the business I wouldn't put myself out there for others to comment on, or judge or say what ever pops into your head when I'm cutting a promo on the stick. We all care and we all want to know that what were doing is appreciated. So for this time you have granted me I thank you.
any last words?
Derrick Zane: Do what you believe in, do it to the full of your ability, but remember you are one in a bigger community, and your actions affect the ones around you, so as the old saying goes, put good in, get good out.
I'd like to thank you readers and i hope you enjoyed it! I'd also like to thank those who plugs this blog on their shows week in and week out those being HAWX,VWE and UHW three great federations if you want your federation or place to have a logo on the blog with link to your site hit me up and we'll see what we can do! check them out! they all rock! until next week with a new interview! have a good weekend!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Derrick Zane: I am Derrick Zane, the self proclaimed "Only Name in SL Wrestling you need to know." One of the founders of OEW, uHw, and the V.W.W.A.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Derrick Zane: The nickname "Only name is yadda yadda come about as a means to gather heat in a story line that was done back in my first run with OEW. The face of the company was being built to take on the big bad bully that was Derrick and in a promo I proclaimed the title as a means to underscore the promo I was cutting at the time, it just sort of stuck after that.
Who did you face in your First match ever and who won?
Derrick Zane: If I recall my first match was with David HawkActor back in Sinnies Birthright Pro Wrestling, and I can't recall if he went over or if I did. He might recall.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Derrick Zane: My birth date is a little misleading, I have been off and on in SL for about five years or so, I first came on when I saw a promotion about it on the Internet and found that it was a cheep and interesting way to interact with people from around the world. There was not a lot though that held my interest for long periods of time, not until I re-discovered the community.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I had been vaguely aware of it for a while before I got involved, but did not really understand what it was, I had thought it was a sort of combat hud, like the CCS, and as such I had a wrong impression, until I watched a few VWE shows back when they were still under the old name. At that time neither VWE or DCWF was interested in bring in new talent and there was no word on if they ever would so I tracked down Alpins shop and bought the moves for myself and a few alts, then set about learning it. That's when I discovered BPW, and through that Savannah's SWF.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I am a worker in real life, I know that there are many who make this claim, I do however have several videos that back up my claim, including a bit part in a truly truly bad film called Dragon quest. When I started wrestling in the real world, I was already fairly old, and as such I knew that there was only so far I would go, and I'm okay with that, but if I could share what I learned with others who for what ever reason would never even get that much of a chance then it was worth the time and effort.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I've already achieved the first major goal I set for myself, I was able to pour what I know into a green rookie, and watch as said rookie developed into one of the best performers in our community, if I have a legacy its called Nina Prater.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Derrick Zane: This will seem strange, considering the Zane personality, but I don't really think about how much if any influence I may or may not have, I'm not a big self promoter, I suppose what makes Derrick Zane the heel good is that most everyone hates a bully, especially a bully that never quite seems to get his comeuppance the way we would lie to see. Zane the face, is I suppose a little less jerk and a little more the real me, if I, myself, happen to be special in any way, its news to me.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Derrick Zane: I have a few, the first finnish I used regularly was the standing power bomb, after that it was the Air Raid Smash, a vertical suplex base that ended with the opponent being dropped neck first on my bent knee as we came down, the finnish I use now is a standing Burning Hammer called "The Business."
Cornbread Yay or Nay?
Derrick Zane: I have nothing against Cornbread, but I'm more of a pie man myself.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: A little over two years now, closely running up on three.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Derrick Zane: Every match has in it the ability to be of a "dream" caliber. It just takes the right mix of psychology, chemistry, crowd, announcers and a give and take freely mentality on the part of the workers, so I suppose anyone I would face can be seen as a dream match.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Derrick Zane: I don't often watch the matches myself, usually I am involved in the backstage coordinating aspect of a show, but a few that I did get to watch and enjoyed very much were Ryan Fury Vs. Brett Braveheart at First Contact for the first Multi Fed championship, the then called Television Title, also a great match was the Prater Sisters Vs. The Style Queens also from First Contact. I liked the dynamic between Mythil and Big Evil at DCWF and I have yet to not like any of Drewski's work.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Derrick Zane: OEW was founded by my speaking to Lex Umaga, who in turn spoke to David HawkActor, who in-turn brought his brother Jedrick on board. So with the exception of the year or so where I had left due to disagreement with David over the future of OEW, its existence, IW, Intense Wrestling, was founded by Ryan Fury who asked me to come back into SL wrestling after I had left uHw over personal issues, that was back in late December, and I have been involved with APW since Brolly Blackheart Sr. asked me if I would like to perform there, about two or three months ago I think.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: Nina Prater.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Derrick Zane: I would like to have the chance to work with most everyone, but for all the progress that our community has made, there is still a lot further to go, so some people that I would like to work with, Benja, Drewski, Shinja...exct. I just have to accept that back stage politics will keep that from happening and focus on the things that can be done.
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?
Derrick Zane: Honestly, I would like to see a story line between Drewski and Bryce Lexenstar, the only issue is something like that you don't just hot shot in one night, if you gave me a three to four month run up to that ME then sure, I would say the same for a Nina Prater V Misaki match.
who trained you?
Derrick Zane: "Youth Suicide" Andre Verdun, also known as "The Evil Lonestar" as for here in SL, I tinkered enough with he system to learn the basics and got a lot of help from JWolf Viper and Savannah Mohegan
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Derrick Zane: Tagging with Nina Prater against Wolfy Kessel and his lady Izzy. I know I bring Nina up alot, but I have kind of a big brother/dad complex were in Nina is concerned, one of the proudest moments I ever had was to hear from the much reviled Eric Stewart that a promo she cut in the ring at OEW had got to him on such an emotional level that he was wanting to find Even Briggs, and do the avatar physical harm for firing Nina via Fed Ex. And understand, Nina had to come a long way getting past her shyness and fear of how people would react to her voice, that i think are my best moments thus far.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: Ryan Fury, Lex Umaga, Bryce Lexenstar, Tiesa Peirs, Aislinne Drakostuu, Maven Gothly, Glen Dundren, Brolly Blackheart, Scott Hexicola, Bloodjack, Giles Smithington, on and on and on. Everyone who gives of their time, and their selves to go out and put on the best live show that they can, who steps up to help pull the rope so to speak, that's who I want to thank, in what ever promotion you wrestle for, thank you for being you.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Derrick Zane: In order, BPW, SWF, OEW, uWs, uHw, IW, OEW again, APW.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Derrick Zane: Yes, two names, and they are not the names that everyone would expect, Nina is obvious but not who I am thinking of. Maven Gothly and Glen Dundren, they are two guys who have had a massive amount of collective sand kicked in their faces by a lot of people, and many times justly so, but then when have any of us been perfect? But I name them because no matter how much people take a crap on them, they keep coming back, they keep trying to improve themselves and they still have the desire to give to a community that often enough wants to spit in their faces and dismiss them outright. If that's not inspiration then I guess its called something else.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Derrick Zane: I am the worlds biggest Roddy Piper mark and I will fight whoever else claims to be so with broken bottles and chains if need be. I am always inspired by Andre and Gorge Gonzales a.k.a. Carnage, my other real life trainer, and by the man that trained them "The Human Horror Show" Supreme, they are three men, men who didn't have to accept a guy who was obviously never going to make it to the New York or Orlando shows, yet they gave of themselves without question or second thought and showed me that a dream could be achieved, even if it comes around a little late in life.
If you have a custom Attire what does it look like?
Derrick Zane: I make all my own gear, with the exception of my wrist tape and knee pads, simply because I'm not that good as small line artwork, as for my ring gear its self, I wear MMA style bike shorts, of various colors, but dominantly black and silver or black and white when working heel and UCLA Gold and Blue or Dodger Blue and white with red when working face, combined with matching Wingtip style boots.
what was your goals when you founded the federations you've been in?
Derrick Zane: OEW was created as a place to A. provide a foot in the door for new talent to the community, as I said DCWF and VWE were not interested in new people at the time, so our idea was to give another place for people who wanted to learn a shot at it, uWs and its change to uHw was for myself a desire to work with people I was never going to get the chance to, bare in mind I didn't want to leave OEW in the first place, we simply couldn't come to an agreement. IW was started to see if the ideas that were taught to myself and Ryan from our real life trainers could actually work here in SL and I feel they are proving to be very relevant. APW is Brolly and Scotts baby, I just work there. As for the V.W.W.A. its not a fed, but more of an organization to allow for greater communication between member feds, as well as the vessel to create the first ever multi fed recognized SL Worlds Heavyweight, Worlds Woman's, and Worlds Tag Team champions. Some might think its all the same company, and yes I can see why that may confuse, but all one has to do is ask and observe and it will become very clear what the V.W.W.A. is.
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in OEW?
Derrick Zane: Tiesa Piers Vs. Anarchy Fang for the OEW women's title at the first show I had as the official owner of OEW after my return, as it was an affirmation that OEW would not die, it might be limping and breathing hard, but its far from dead. The Buried Alive match I had with Francis Constantine, he was a guy who embodied everything that was good about OEW, hard work, determination, and a desire to learn. When he was looking at not having a home at the time, much less Internet, he wanted to be "removed" from OEW in a special way, that match was for him his reward for all his efforts and to my knowledge the only match of its kind ever held at OEW and ever will be held at OEW until he returns, if I have anything to say about it. Okita Thor and JWolf Viper put on very good matches when they gelled just right, most every match I had with David was solid and my favorite was the Thommy Connolly Vs. Even Briggs "Boston Street Fight"
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Derrick Zane: I would say the biggest story that I am aware of currently is Even Briggs seeking to control all the member feds of the V.W.W.A. with his various cronies and the faces of the member feds trying to rally against him. My feud with Bryce Lexenstar has been interesting. I enjoy the hell out of the Fang Sisters vs. Tiesa Vs. Themselves Vs. Everyone they can get their hands on, and I loved the Nina Prater Vs. Arcana over at Hawx, very proud of her to see that she could overcome her fear and win that gold.
has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Derrick Zane: No, far from it. There are some who believe me to be arrogant, or an elitist, I've even been called the "Illuminati" of Sl Wrestling, but i wont apologize for sticking to the tools that I know work, some claim that what we do is a role playing experience, but let me ask you the reader a question, when you role play, do you have an audience watching you role dice? What we are doing at every fed is putting on live entertainment, Pro Wrestling is simply the greatest example of high entertainment on a low budget there is, and the SL version should not be different, yes the physicality is non existent, there for the psychology should always be stronger and what may get me in-trouble with others is that they don't realize that there are choices they make that ultimately hurt them in the long run in terms of getting the crowds attention and keeping it.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Derrick Zane: A lack of communication, plane and simple. If all you hear is. "That guy said this." But your not sure if it happened, then go ask that guy. uWs and OEW were in the midst of a dumb ass bickering fight ob face-book and other social means a while back, each side would accuse the other of something bad but no one really wanted to talk like normal people, just accuse and hurl insults back and forth, at the end of the day, when all the smoke cleared it ended with uWs becoming uHw and a lot of hurt feelings on both sides over things that never existed, or never truly mattered, and what hurts the most is that there could have been great things both companies could have done together, but because no one wanted to actually talk to the other-side, it was all waisted.
is there any certain Federation you would want to work with OEW?
Derrick Zane: I am open to any and all, but I'm a realist and I know that not everyone is as willing as I am, do I like that VAW runs directly on top of my show, no, its a hindrance and it denies fans a chance to see both programs, but that's Vince's choice to make. I would like to see other feds join the V.W.W.A. but that's a choice each company needs to make for themselves, so I don't go hounding others about it. If others want to they will, if they don't, they wont and that's okay to, some one once accused Seth Cameron and Numbers Rossini of trying to monopolies all of SL wrestling, hell I've even said it in times of annoyance and frustration, but the truth is this, when Alpin released the system to the community he let the Genie out of the bottle, and there is no putting it back in.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Derrick Zane: How would you rate a fed that would be A. fair and B. factual?
Tyress: whatever your opinion bases on :)
Derrick Zane: Every operation has its strengths and weaknesses, an arbitrary ranking is far from accurate or even telling of what each promotion brings to the table.
Derrick Zane: Well I'll put it this way, if I named DCWF the top promotion, I'm sure that there will be members of VWE who feel that they are, and vice a verse. To say nothing of the people at uHw, or IW or APW, or VAW, ext ext. A ranking of promotions without specifics, of which we don't have the time or blog space to get into would be folly
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Derrick Zane: It has come a long way, yet it still has an even greater way to go, its like any community of alpha minded people, its a chaotic, raucous, brawling kind of thing, but that is in its self a part of its charm, the SL Pro Wrestling community is a living thing, and its going to continue to grow and change as its component parts continue to grow and change that's why it's important to not just seek out new talent, but to nurture it, develop it and help all the new faces reach the pinnacles of their potential, so that they can continue the cycle, cause if we don't, it will stagnate and die, and if we let that happen, then whats the point of yelling and screaming and getting pissed off at each-other in the first place then?
Tyress: Ten Question Game! i will say 10 names/words say the first thing that pops up in your head..
1: Legend
A: Alpin Criss
2: Derrick Cult
A: The Other Derrick
3: Best Gimmick
A: Currently "Sir Giles Smithington the IV, XVIIth Earl of Wigan" The current OEW Television Champion.
4: Top 3 Hardcore Legends
A: Derrick Zane: Hardcore without meaning is to me is a watering down of the style, so with that I will name three names that most wont agree with, and that's okay, Okita Thor, Curt Bombastic, and Francis Constantine, each of them made the story matter in their hard core matches, in my opinion.
5: Nemesis
A: The Northern United States *Canada* Watered Down Stunt man Version of Derrick Zane, one Curt bombastic.
6: Top Comedian
A: Benja, Sir Giles, Ryan Fury, Bazza Windlow, Jerico Scarbridge and if I may allow myself the indulgence, Derrick Zane.
7: Top Technical
A: Vince Easterwood, Ryan Fury, Misaki Yumako, Drewski, and Maven Gothly, when he focuses and calms down, he's very good in the ring.
8: Top Brawler
A: Big Evil, Ranma Yoshirro, Scott Hex, and his brother Damien Hex, again when he calms down and focuses on making the match more important then himself.
9: Best of the Best
A: Hard to say, without a specific category its far to vague a question to answer with a couple of names. Benja is great as a funny man, getting better as a serious voice in the ring, Shinja is great at making you dispell belife, Drew is the most white meat baby face I have ever seen, Lex umaga as Even Briggs is great at pushing a crowds buttons wit-out even locking up with an opponent, Nina is great for not just telling you a story, but pulling you in to care on that emotional level. I like to think I'm pretty great on the stick *microphone*
10: Who would you not want to face in an alley?
Derrick Zane: If the avatars were real?
Tyress: mhm
A: Vladimir Poliatevskia, Jacknife Mc Mullens, Exotica just cause that would be creepy, Benja I'm not scared of, I'd offer him a lot lizard and then run the other way.
Tyress: Kings And Queens these are not who holds current belts or was the best champions. but who you think are the Best in their division
1: King Of UHW
A: King: Curt Bombastic, as he knows whats needed to elevate the others around him.
1: Queen of UHW
A: Queen: Honey Bluntz, as she can work with just about anyone in the ring and give you a five star match
2: King of DCWF
A: Currently the King to me is Mythil, to be that persistent, and posses that much longevity as he has and finally show everyone that you don't have to be a giant to get over in DCWF.
2: Queen of DCWF
A: Queen: Nina Prater...cause.....well just cause. So there.
3: Queen of HAWX
A: Qweens: Arcana, Nina, Isabelle, Tiesa...exct exct
3: Princess of HAWX
A: Princes, not sure I would call Bazza a prince, he's a card, just not sure its a prince.
4: King of VWE
A: If I had to name a king of VWE it would be Benja, for now. but there is a kid named John Struck who has his head on right, he's hungry to learn and whats most important he's humble enough to ask questions on how he can get even better, and that is way more important then I can possibly make clear.
4: Queen of VWE
A: Queen? Nanners and Vendetta returning may be a one two tandem that will shake up a division that has been carried by a few for a while, combine them with Lilly, your looking at a breath of fresh air that's been needed for a while now, good things to come from that I feel.
5: King of OEW
A: OEW has been in a decline for a while, and its not the fault of a few as some want to claim, its the victim of situation, but we will rebuild, we will get stronger and we will continue on. Who are the queen and king? Wel
5: Queen of OEW
A: Queen is a tie between Aisline and Tiesa, the amount of work, heart and soul they put into it is without measure, as for kings, Bloodhawk is a kid who has a speech impediment, and many feel he is held back by that from being a successful performer much less a champion that people would want to care about, but his work ethic is such that if all I had was Bloodhawks on the roster, I would gladly go into battle and know I would come out on top.
6: King of IW
A: Over IW way you got Bryce, Bazza, Resin, Jerrico, Ari Lane when he returns after getting his college situation settled, though I'd rather he focus on that rather then SL wrestling,
6: Queen of IW
A: Queens are Victoria Vain, and the sisters Fang.
7: King of APW
A: But the Kings and Queens over at APW are to me, the Blackhearts, Deamon Rage and this monster of a man he found to tag with him, some guy called Abbadon.
7: Queen of APW
A: Queens to me are again Honey Bluntz and the Deviant Darlings.
Match Predictions!
APW's Ignition:
Match 1: Maven Gothly Vs Thommy Connoly Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Both competitors have their strength, Gothly has that mean streak and killer instinct that you need in wrestling, but then again so does Connolly, but were I give the advantage to Connolly lies in his experience and the Celtic Knot submission he has developed, once your in the knot, you don't get out till old man Connolly lets you out.
Match 2: Angelique Vs Iris Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Angelique is a tough competitor, tough and determined, but then Iris is a bit of a wild card, she's very mysterious, most in the APW have never seen her perform yet, so if Iris is smart she's been scouting, formulating a game plan while remaining an unknown quantity.
Match 3: Josh Poffo Vs Scott Hex - APW World championship match Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: I'm a little biased on that one, mostly because it was one of Scott's fellow Sports Entertainment Extreme members, Bryce Lexenstar that put me on the shelf, so I'm tossing my weight behind Josh Poffo, not just simply because he's a great competitor, but simply screw S.E.X. and all its members.
Main event!: Bryce Lexenstar Vs Michael Karsin Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Michale Karsin, why? Cause of no one is looking, I fully intend to hit Bryce with my car, three or four times...in a row.
HAWX's Scorn!
Match 1: HAWX Championship match - Nina Prater Vs Crystal Neutron Who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Nina Prater wins, because she has the heart, the talent and the training of yours truly backing her up. No need for crossing fingers, no need for clever words of long winded speeches, Nina Prater with or without gold is a champion, plain and simple.
Match 2: Jessie Kalil Vs Maxine Darkwatch - Non Title - Who Wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: I got to toss my support behind Maxine on that one, simply due to the influence of experience, you can't substitute it, you can't measure it, you earn it, and that in the long run helps you more then anything else.
Match 3: Anarchy Fang & Tara Duffield Vs Princess Aurora & Toxic Fang who wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Sheesh, can you have a winner when the Fang sisters are standing outside a ring, most likely holding sharp sticks and grinning? I would say that Aurora's strength is the factor, if the Sisters Fang weren't involved, but Tarra's fear of Anarchy is something that can't be accounted for.
Main Event!: Paulz Vs Isabelle Martinezwho wins and why?
A: Derrick Zane: Paulz is a world class competitor, make no mistake about it, she's got experience, she got strength and size, but there is some weird thing that drives Isabelle, some weird inner drive that makes her almost inhuman. I'm not sure who will win, but I'm damn sure its going to be an instant classic.
if you could give one advice to a rookie that just joined SL wrestling what would that advice be?
Derrick Zane: Ask, listen and learn. Ask your vets how things are done, and not just one, ask any who will talk to you. When they do tell you the answers, listen to them, even if it doesn't make sense at the time, it will later on, and finally learn what they tell you, absorb it, and use your new tools to always get better.
What is your thoughts on this Interview?
Derrick Zane: There are times were I feel that your interviews may be geared towards a certain section of the community, to the exclusion of the other half, intentional or not, most likely not, its still a feeling that a few out there share. Perhaps this interview will help to release some of the tensions and feelings of resentment. I am ultimately hopeful, its why I do this, if I didn't care about the business I wouldn't put myself out there for others to comment on, or judge or say what ever pops into your head when I'm cutting a promo on the stick. We all care and we all want to know that what were doing is appreciated. So for this time you have granted me I thank you.
any last words?
Derrick Zane: Do what you believe in, do it to the full of your ability, but remember you are one in a bigger community, and your actions affect the ones around you, so as the old saying goes, put good in, get good out.
I'd like to thank you readers and i hope you enjoyed it! I'd also like to thank those who plugs this blog on their shows week in and week out those being HAWX,VWE and UHW three great federations if you want your federation or place to have a logo on the blog with link to your site hit me up and we'll see what we can do! check them out! they all rock! until next week with a new interview! have a good weekend!
