I'd like to thank Jasper for his time and also hope to see as many as possible at one of VWE's biggest shows ever Elimination Royale tomorrow at 5 PM SLT! now enjoy the interview!
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Jasper: My name is Jasper Corvinus, I'm currently employed by United Honor Wrestling, and recently joined the DCWF Open Roster. Wrestling is pretty much all I do, except for DJing of course...
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
Jasper: No in ring Nicknames.. although every once in a while I call myself "The Jazzy One" because of the name Jasper.. Jasper, Jazzy.. you know..
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Jasper: This is a kinda long story.. I've always been a HUGE fan of MMOs.. but I wanted something more than just a game... I wanted something that would almost simulate real life...So I was looking around, and found Red Light District.. wasn't exactly sure what it was.. signed up, logged in, looked around a couple hours, found out what it was and ran like crazy... Then I discovered SL on a google search one day... Mind you this was 4 years ago... I signed up, and had NO CLUE what I was doing..nobody offered to help, so I never went back.. a year later, tried again, same result.. Finally a friend of mine who lives near me told me she was into it, and she got me hooked up with everything I need.. I've been hooked ever since.
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Jasper: This dates back to Facebook.. ANOTHER friend of mine who I used to RP with on a text chat.. I found out she was on SL.. so we chatted.. Then my (now) SL Mama commented on a post about it.. I Imed her.. she brought me to a few shows.. HAWX, uHw, VWE and DCWF.. I was completely floored and wanted to do it myself, being an avid WWE fan for many years.. I stated at commentary for uHw and HAWX.. and after a while just turned into a Full Time worker spot
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Jasper: Not a what, but a Who. Maxine Darkwatch. She really opened my eyes to it, and all the fun it could be. I guess if there HAD to be a what.. I'm well past my prime RL, and always wanted to be a RL worker.. This was as close as I was gonna get.
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Jasper: About Let's see.. this is September.. Started in February.. so... 7 months? Give or Take
What federations have you been in?
Jasper: As I said, I have been in uHw my entire career, and only started with the DCWF open roster about a month ago
Who was your trainer(s)?
Jasper: There's a long list.. It started with Maxine Darkwatch. She got me the HUD, showed me how it works, and gave me the basics. She will tell you I took it and ran with it.. but to be honest, .anyone I've ever stepped into the ring with has really helped me progress. Everyone has something new and innovative, and I consider myself lucky to continually be learning.
Who did you face in your first SL wrestling match and what was the result?
Jasper: My first Official Match? Hmm.. That would be.. oh man I have to look at my notes... If I recall right.. My first full match was with Acheron Nightfire himself.. It was a storyline match, and I got the win for it. Before that I was Managing Samantha Prater in uHw and making Maxine's life hell for it, so Alias, the GM of uHw, forced me into it... I won.. but not the way you would expect
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
Jasper: Black & Red
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
Jasper: Right now I only have one.. Drilling For Oil, named after my Texas background.. it's a Jackhammer
What do you think makes your character special?
Jasper: I don't? In all reality, I'm just playing a part.. How do I stand out? By trying to be different and unique every time I lace up the boots. I bring a mean streak to the uHw that I don't think has ever been seen before, and I'm always looking for ways to improve on that.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Jasper: I've made a lot of friends.. To me that is the most important part.. Titles come and go.. Main Events come and go.. but friendships last forever. But I am the current, and first ever recognized uHw United Honored Crown Champion. I didn't think I was ready for that kind of a push, but everyone tended to disagree, so here I am with the belt.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
Jasper: The top moment for me would have to be Strapping this belt around my waist... I never thought that only 7 months in and I would ever be in contention for a title, when I've seen workers in other feds go years without one. I attribute that to my work ethic, and trying to be unique. I still think I'm dreaming when I see it in my inventory, and when I put it on, but.. as Maxine told me.. "Boyo, you F****** EARNED it"
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
Jasper: There are a lot of people I would love to work with in a tag situation. My current character prohibits it.. but There's always hope.. Recently BBB was formed, with Myself, HoneyBluntz, and our Manager, Nick Halderman. I have the utmost respect for both of them, and love working with them, but there is a laundry list of people I would love to tag/stable with.
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
Jasper: Just to continue to be the best I can be. I wouldn't mind a shot at the United Universal Title someday.. but the man who holds it now.. I would have some pretty big shoes to fill. I just want to go out and be the best I can be..
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
Jasper: Oh man.. There are a few.. I had a house show match with Vince Easterwood a couple weeks ago.. I would love to do a storyline progression with him.. Wolfy Kessel, another person who I think we would have a great feud together.. On the DCWF Side.. I gotta say one of these days I wanna go Toe to Toe with the Cowboy himself.. once again, out of pure respect.
What have been your favorite 5 matches in any federation?
Jasper: The first one would be at DCWF. Ranma and Mythil at Sex..er.. Six on the Beach, for the DCWF World Heavyweight Championship... Second, at VWE, Benja Nirvana and Bryce Ketterley at BeachBrawl.. 3rd Maxine Darkwatch and Tiesa Piers at HAWX Summer Days.. 4th Even though I didn't see it live, Benja and Derrick Cult at Dead End.. 5th.. Just happened recently.. Vince Easterwood and Wolfy Kessel at DNA 2 weeks ago. Sorry I don't have much more of a history there, but I haven't been around that long.
If you could play Booker for one day and could pick any wrestler male or female, who would you pick for the Main Event?
Jasper: Since I've heard SO much about their storied past.. I would love to see a Vince Easterwood Vs. BigEvil Mandelkorn reunion match
What would you consider the top 5 feuds you've seen in SL wrestling?
Jasper: Keep in mind, Haven't been here long.. so.. Acheron/Vince at uHw. Nina Prater Vs.... well.. Pretty much all of Femme Fatale over at HAWX, Benja Vs.. Derrick Cult is shaping up to be pretty hot over at VWE.. Can't WAIT for the finish on that one.. Even though it didn't last long, Maxine Vs. Rusty at HAWX, And this other interesting one that I think is about over when she kicks his butt for the 4th time.. Athena Starflare / Justin Struk
Who would you like to thank for being there during your adventures of SL wrestling?
Jasper: Maxine, without question. She has been my rock, my go to, My jumping in IM's or over the comm screaming SELL JASPER! repeatedly.. Others would be HoneyBluntz, her innovation and creativity have really inspired me, Vince for his "War stories" God.. anyone who I associate with in SL Wrestling really... anyone I can lean on, anyone I can go to with a HUD problem, or Gesture problem.. They've all been so kind and welcoming.
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
Jasper: In SL.. There are quite a few.. Maxine, Vince, Jenn Parkin, You even..all of you.. I see what you have accomplished.. I see what is possible, and it just keeps me striving to be the best I can be..
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Jasper: his moves into a RL situation.. Any of the Indy performers, or BigTime workers, who have ever laced up the boots, and go out there night after night after night to entertain. Since I can't do it RL anymore.. They inspire me to keep going, as if I was there.
What would you consider the top 3 federations in SL, and why do you think so?
Jasper: : In no particular order... VWE. Because of their.. true to life scenario. They strive for realism in everything, and I absolutely love going to their shows.. uHw of course, but not because I'm in there, but because of the diversity. Just when you think a story is headed one way, BAM, left turn. and HAWX. never in my life have I seen an all women's fed out there... I don't know that they exist RL either. And these women tear the house down every single night the lights come up.
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
Jasper: I think, in the 7 months I've been a part of it.. I think that there is a lot of comrades there. People willing to step in and help where needed, or train someone new. Unfortunately, just like any group, there are detractors, or nay Sayers.. but if we push on, keep being the best we can be, we can overcome that.
As we know, there's a lot of rumors in SL wrestling. Some are good, some are bad. What do you think causes these rumors?
Jasper: The business as a whole. SL or RL, Wrestling is a bunch of overinflated egos. Everyone thinks they are better than the other.. It's the nature of the beast. And when someone wants to...say.. impact someone negatively, that's when they start. He Said, She Said BS.. Like any facet of life

Prediction time! I will list the matches on the upcoming Elimination Royale card, please state what your predictions are for each match.
Match 1: VWE Women's championship Christina defends her title against Lily Martines and Nanny Gothly - Nanny has been on a roll lately after beating her now stable partner Marionetta even interfering to help Maxine out to beat Lily Martines However Lily has been on a roll as well until this Primetime, Nanny is a former VWE Women's Champion while Lily was the first one to beat the Last Women's and undefeated Tyress, Christina tends to try to steal the matches but we haven't seen much of her as of late. who will win and why?
A: Lily is Hungry.. VERY Hungry. She's made it known multiple times. But when you look at the other side of the coin, Nanny has JHG in her corner.. I don't think it bodes well for Christina in the long run. I would have to give it to Nanny, with JHG being the wildcard in this one.. None of the other two really have anyone in their corner with them.
Match 2: VWE World Heavyweight Championship 30 minute Iron match Derrick Cult Defends the title against Benja nirvana, Derrick won the title off of Benja from cheating when Rubie jules sprayed Benja in the eyes and blinded him. Derrick has been on a good roll and is a former World heavyweight champion,Former United states Champion and Tag Team Champion, Benja has been on a roll when he held the title but gold is no new thing for him. Benja is a former World champion, multiple Tag team Champion,U.S champion. both are big and powerful guys who is standing last will most likely be the winner. who wins and why?
A: As much as I want the Bigshot Trucker Lawyer to come out on top in this one, I have my doubts. Rubie aside (even though I know she will have some part in the match, based on previous reputations) Derrick also has His other partner from Bad Intentions, Jackson Doune on his side as well. And we all know that they love to fight dirty. I don't think by far it will be a cakewalk, as this new side of Benja we've been seeing as of late is intense.. but I just don't know that he has the ability to hold off three, in what will most certainly, and quickly, turn into a 3-1 Handicap
Main event - Elimination Royale 30 Men/women competes in an over the top rope match who do you think will win and why note we already know who is the lucky Number 30 Shinja!
A: Statistically speaking, and I've been talking to a few about past Royales.. Oddly enough, the earlier entries have had the better luck (as odd as that seems) Shinja is an amazing athlete, and very determined.. I think it's going to be someone within the first 15.. of course without knowing that order, there's no way to tell.. However Shinja is my odds on favorite in that one.
Anything else you would like to say?
Jasper: I want to thank, as I said before, everyone I have ever stepped into the ring with for your passion in this business. Some of you have seen me grow from a headset wearing nobody into the Superstar I am today, and some of you are just starting to see me. If you think you are impressed now, just wait.. The future is always uncertain, but rest assured, The Jazzy One will continue to amaze for years to come.
I also have to thank those who plugs this blog without them I wouldn't get the word out on this blog or help them out with new fans and much more! Those being VWE,UHW,VAW,APW and HAWX all of them are great feds in SL wrestling and please go to their sites/facebook for more information on their shows! just click their respective logo to visit them!
