I'd like to as usual thank Sierra for taking her time. and this is a Re-interview so some questions are the same. some are not. anyway enjoy!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Sierra: Well, IC I'm "The Heart breaker" Sierra Charisma. I've been involved in SL wrestling, off an on (mostly on) for about 6 years now. Finally found a place where I'm happy at: WPWF where Im a Siren and "She who does things but has no title" xD
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Sierra: omg, you know I kinda forget now xD I'm old! I'm sure boredom had a lot to do with it. And it was a neat way for me to keep in touch with an ex boyfriend. Soon I just became fascinated with it and next thing I know, it's 2015
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Sierra: Through 100% coincidence, I ran into another avi named Sierra at a store. Turned out we had the same rez day too, just 1 year apart. She was into the poseball scene and helped me into modeling. While at the time poseball wasn't my thing, I happened to stumble into the old SLCW. Literally the first wrestler I mean was...I cant remember his name but come to find out he was just using all the new girls to get dates or SLex or whatever. But either way, he introduced me to Lee Valentine who's been a friend ever since, and she unfortunately introduce me to Eric Stuart, and I saw a show, and was hooked. So yeah I'm old school SLCW.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Sierra: The challenge of it. I'm naturally creative so it was a lot of...hmmm fun?...trying to do what I at first saw on TV and making it look right. Keep in mind back then the moves were quite limited. I think even to this day, the personal challenge, along with just making things fun are the best reasons to do this, and what i tell any rookies who ask me.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Sierra: Nope, but only because I'm living it right now. And that's finding a home fed where the roster has fun, has creative freedom, and theres very little drama. That's what I've wanted for a very long time after some bad experienced. To help create a positive experience. If I were to leave tomorrow, I could say I accomplished experienced that.
do you have any Dream Matches that you'd like to see?
Sierra: Ayane vs Lily in a main event somewhere. Natalie vs Ryoko competing for the WPWF Women's championship someday...oh an Rie Kurihara vs Jenn Parkin :D
Akasha and I have unfinished business.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Sierra: Oh wow, theres a lot! Just for sheer crowd enthusiasm, Celtdans last DCWF match is memorable. A classic that stays with me is Vendetta vs Akasha in VWE, the triple cage match. A few that Ive been in, just personally for me: My match with Rie where I won the title. not because of that so much but I've always wanted to work a big match with her and it was pretty much spot on "strong style". My match also in WPWF with Christina Krovac was a thrill cause she credited me with getting her started in SL wrestling, so that meant a lot. And Ill also say the 8 person tag we pulled off, all of Black Lotus vs all "team WPWF" just for all the moving pieces. A high level of difficulty that we pulled off great.
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?
Sierra: Ayane vs Lily
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Sierra: I've left SL wrestling a few times, so I definitely wouldn't be here without Ayane. She was the friend I needed all along. (uh I mean, I HATE Ayane...shes a bad egg! ;o)
and I have to thank you, Ty, for giving me a chance. That was a big part of it too.
do you have anyone that inspires you in making your graphics/Videos?
Sierra: NOT LYRA THATS FOR SURE! xD Kidding. yeah i think Lyra and I play off each other well. We're probably about the only two in SL that understand the hassles sometimes. I cant say anyone or anything specific. I look at each project as a challenge. For instance, how do I capture Rie's character, for example, and then a week later, do the same for a totally different character like Maria. So I guess you could say the wrestlers themselves do, since I want the video to be personal for them, and the viewer to instantly know what the character is about in those few minutes.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Sierra: WPWF and yeah I'm biased, but I think the product speaks for itself. Most importantly the roster is happy. happy roster makes for bigger audience cause they tell their friends who come and see quality matches and good production values. We're storyline driven so that gives people a reason to return every week. And yeah I wont lie, the Sirens aren't hard to look at ;o) And that's by design too. It's one advantage being the only all-female fed has so why not use it to our advantage? VWE is exactly what a Sl wrestling fed should look like visually, just with production values and match quality. They're SL's WWE. And I'd say the APCW combination each for different reasons. Seems their individual rosters have fun and that's whats most important
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Sierra: While I could write a novel on this, I think the SL wrestling community has a lot of things backwards. I just never understood a lot of the illogical. We're all volunteers. Every person on every roster doesn't get paid do do this, so just in principle, I don't believe any one person, be they manager, owner, or whomever gets to tell anyone who they need to be or what they will do. That said, wrestlers do need to take into consideration whats best for the fed as a whole and how their actions effect others. What do we really have control over? Nothing except our own fun. Titles (both belts and management) really dont mean anything. So management needs to give their roster the tools to have fun and wrestlers need to stop worrying about losing, winning, and just have fun. Sometimes you can win by losing and lose by winning. None of it matters.
So in a nutshell. Managements aren't creating a positive environment for their rosters and we also have too many participants who are in this for selfish reasons. It's kinda creating a perfect storm. I have no control over that except where I'm at and I'm pretty proud of a lot of the things we do differently in WPWF :)
what do you think makes a Fed strong?
Sierra: Without giving away too many of our secrets in WPWF? A happy roster. That's the key and I think it applies to any fed, club, workplace, whatever. Create a place your wrestlers cant wait to play in and the rest falls into place.
What advice would you give someone that is looking to join a fed?
Sierra: Go to shows across a variety of feds. Don't just fall in love with the first one you see. It's kinda like dating xD You could be stuck with that person for a while. Talk to the performers. Find a place you can not only wrestle in but make stronger.
then ask yourself if you're ready to commit to this. Like any thing you love, it takes work. The scene has a high turn over rate for rookies. Make sure it's in your heart and you can devote the time to it cause it's a great payoff
what do you think is the most important element in a match?
Sierra: 3 things A more subtle one is storytelling. Thats not to be confused with a storyline. Each match can tell a story which builds the larger storyline. A great way to so that in a match is by #2...selling! xD If someone is 3/4 into a match and not looking like they are 3/4 into a match, its too hard to suspend disbelief. If you were just in a move that was effecting a specific body part, that area should be hurting! Finally, one things I preach is being "smooth" I think speed is over rated. I'm more impressed when I see a match that's seamless. As it should be on TV it should be here.
what makes you happy to see in a rookie?
Sierra: Honestly, I absolutely love it when they show me something new. Getting to see something from a different point of view just helps everyone. More practically, reliability. I love it when they come to one of our coaches to work on performance center material
who do you think has the best kicks in SL wrestling?
Sierra: Me aside, Ritsu got some legs on her xD Rie is there and Alexa is underrated
Has anything changed since the rookie days of Yours to now and was it to the better or worse?
Sierra: In spite of me sounding down on the scene a few questions ago, yeah over all it's better. I guess you could say we don't know how good we have it. The moves are more numerous and better looking, we can make our own gestures. We have all the creative tools now. Production values are incredible. I swear sometimes a good show in here can be better than a bad WWE show on TV. I also think it's easier to learn now. While still hard, due to all the advancements its easier to become successful
Name your top 3 Faces and top 3 Heels since day 1 to now
Sierra: faces: i always preferred Vendetta as a face, she's just so easy to cheer for! Lee I think got to be a face organically and i always like that. When people just wanna see you succeed no matter what. And Bazza for the guys. Id actually give more credit to those who are really over as a face, cause it's not easy to get people to cheer you without sounding like a dork.
Heels...God Ayane is so freaking good at heeling. It's just little subtle things she does that make me even wanna smack her. Jack Citron makes a good heel. And as a classic, Akasha
name 3 matches that made you Laugh
Sierra: Made me laugh that were suppose to make me laugh? Marionetta vs Vendetta in VWE. Horses vs Ery in VWE, and Tanith vs Maria lumberjill match in WPWF ;o)
any last words?
Sierra: Yea, these questions aren't easy and I know I left people out, so rather than just saying thank you to all, I really need to express how much I've learned from everyone I've worked with in different ways. Everyone has had an effect on me if they know it or not, and all positive in one way or another. I hope that's manifesting itself now in WPWF :)
Hope you Enjoyed the interview i will be doing alot more the coming months so if you want to be interviewed or re-interviewed hit me up! also please check out the feds down below they are really great and helps plugging the blog!.

Nova's Interview with Krystal Neutron
I'd like to thank Krystal for taking her time in making this interview, if you're interested in being interviewed to let people know more about you and your character hit me up!, also if you'd like your fed being a Advertised " sponsor " let me know!.
Now Krystal is a long time veteran in our community of SL wrestling.
but i feel she has never really gotten the recognition for her hard work. so I'd like to say it officially, thank you Krystal for putting your time and effort into making SL wrestling more fun and being professional.
now without further disruptions. enjoy the interview!.....starting...now
give us a small introduction about yourself
Krystal: : I'm Krystal, formerly known as Crystal Neutron. I am currently a VWE bombshell and WPWF Siren. I have been wrestling for a little over 6 years now.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Krystal: I was just surfing around the Internet and found this thing called Second Life. It looked a lot like The Sims, so I thought it'd be fun to play it with others online. Lord knows what i got my self into hahaha
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Krystal: I was a huge wrestling fan around that time. I first discovered poseball wrestling and loved the look of it. However, I was still a noob and looked awful haha. I did some exploring later on and found hud wrestling. I decided to get the ACPWS Jobber hud (cause that was the free one xD) and find out how to use it. I fell in love with it immediately and applied to MWA later that week.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Krystal: Well, when I found out I would have my own entrance theme, I fell in love with it even more, cause I could enter just like Beth Phoenix and Natalya. It was so awesome that I changed my theme like every 2 weeks
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Krystal: Well one of my dreams was to come back to VWE, which I accomplished last year. My next goal was to win a championship, which I did at WPWF, but now? Maybe the VWE Women's belt?
do you have any Dream Matches that you'd like to see?
Krystal: I would love to reunite with Isabelle for one more tag team match. With who? hmm... I would love to wrestle Christina Krovac and Hilary Lanfier.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Krystal: Oh my, I don't remember much... Well, in no particular order... Lee vs Isabelle for the VWE Women's Championship at Wrestleseries 6, Lily Martinez vs Christina Krovac in a Hell in a Cell match at HAWX Endings, Me and Lee Valentine vs Lily Martinez and Christina Krovac at VWE, Lily Martinez vs Vendetta's Legend Status Match at HAWX Bytch School, and Black Lotus vs Team WPWF at WPWF
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?
Krystal: I would make a bombshell gauntlet match with Isabelle against all of the bombshells at VWE.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Krystal: I'd like to thank all of the management at all of the 3 thousand I've been to, cause I'm very impatient and outspoken, and quite frankly, a pain in the ass at times. I would like to thank You (Tyress) for letting me into WPWF again and giving me a chance. I would also like to thank Austin Knight for letting me into VWE. I thank all the people I have wrestled in the past for giving me the experience so I could improve my skills. Finally, I'd like to thank mah homegurl Isabelle for getting my arse back into gear when I went on a break for like 8 months and pushing me to succeed in the feds I am in.
What do you think makes your character " Special " ?
Krystal: Well, I guess my character is special because of the way I can get the crowd to hate me quite quickly. it's not very hard I guess, I just have to be myself hahaha
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Krystal: Again, this is in no particular order. I'm gonna have to be biased and say VWE is one of the most popular. WPWF is also up there, because of the idea that women can be booked more often and get more recognition. I am also impressed with how popular NMW is becoming, and I hope they continue to succeed.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Krystal: I feel like everyone is so focused on themselves at times and forget that we are a community and should work together. There's also a ton of drama that happens. I think we should just put our differences aside and be supportive of each other.
What do you think is the most important thing to do if the SL wrestling community is to survive a few more years?
Krystal: I think we should just support each other. Inter-fed shows could be a big benefit, but it would involve people who may or may not have issues working with each other. I think the big thing is just to support each other, really.
what do you think makes a Fed strong?
Krystal: A fed needs good, unbiased management. Feds also depend heavily on dedicated people who show up on time and when they are booked. The biggest thing, I would say, is dedication. That seems to be the biggest problem in feds.
What do you think is important in a successful Character?
Krystal: There are so many things that make your character successful. I think the most important thing is excitement. You wanna get your crowd excited during your matches and in your promos. For example, if you're a heel and the audience is booing up the yin yang, then you're doing something right.
What is the one thing you love about SL wrestling?
Krystal: I love how really strong friendships can be formed through sl wrestling and that there are people with a passion for wrestling, which sl wrestling makes possible.
Who was your opponent in your debut match and who won?
Krystal: Ohhh I can't remember... hmm... OH! It was against Super Porky at MWA in an i quit match. I put him in a crossface 4 minutes into the match and won.
Could you list your top 5 Best Gimmicks that people have created in the SL wrestling since your start to now?
Krystal: Oh there are sooo many. I love what Isabelle did with her gimmick. She evolved herself so much and deserves the reactions she gets. Marionetta's gimmick is awesome. The idea of the trickster type gimmick is so original and it provides a lot of humor that the fans may need. Lily's hacker type gimmick when she had the VWE Women's championship was really creative. I like the cheerleader gimmick going on, and how creative they can be, to name a couple names, Becky in VWE, and Cheerleader Mickie in DCWF. I like what Jackson Doune does in his matches and promos to make people hate him. He really works the gimmick well.
What would you tell someone who is looking to join a fed in SL wrestling?
Krystal: I would recommend going to a few of the fed's shows to see what it looks like. Looking at the fed's schedule is good too, to see if you would be able to have enough time to tell an effective story.
who trained you?
Krystal: Well, I kinda found the hud out myself, but Rob Bukowski showed me the ropes.
any rookies that you've seen this year that got the chance to make it to the " big league "?
Krystal: Well one of them is Ren Blackheart, but he already made it in the big leagues. Ryoko and Natalie in WPWF can go so far with more experience. I'm quite impressed with them.
any last words?
Krystal: Thank for taking the time to interview me :))
Now Krystal is a long time veteran in our community of SL wrestling.
but i feel she has never really gotten the recognition for her hard work. so I'd like to say it officially, thank you Krystal for putting your time and effort into making SL wrestling more fun and being professional.

Nova's Interview with Stuart Warf
Its nice to be back on the interview people train and i hope to interview even more this year! so to a guy that has been waiting for years to be interviewed Sorry about that Stu but here we GO!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Stuart Warf: My name is Stuart Warf and I do a whole Bunch of stuff. That's the short version of what I do. But in essence, what I currently do is, I am the on-screen Chairman at VWE and have also portrayed various other authority figure roles during my time in VWE. I am also the lead on Production currently in VWE. Basically my role there is to try and come up with new ways of making VWE look amazing and coming up with different concepts etc. I also have done a bunch of stuff outside of SL wrestling, including I am an Executive Producer at the recently reborn Rezzed.TV which is now partnered with M.Y. Studios which is ran by Maxine Yoshiro as well as a host on one of the shows we'll soon be producing called Take it or Leave it.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Stuart Warf: Back in 2006, which is scary to think about, at least to me it is. I was an avid listener of pod casts back then, especially as it was still in the early pioneering days of the medium. There was a couple of pod casts on there that mentioned this virtual world called Second Life and how it was a cool way to meet up and be interactive with their fans. So after a certain point, I decided to sign up for Second Life and meet up with the pod casters.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Stuart Warf: For me, it was an odd journey, at least in comparison to most wrestlers in Second Life. When I finally got into the SL Wrestling world was through the Rezzed.TV network at the time. Back in 2009, I was starting to branch out what we was doing in a bid to just be different to the other TV networks at the time and so I formed a partnership with RAGE Fighting Championships. Through that group I ended up eventually joining up with XWA thanks to some persistent German named Loody Graves wanting me to film this event called Wrestleseries. From that point on, I've pretty much been involved in Second Life Wrestling in one form or another.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Stuart Warf: Personally I've been a wrestling fan since I was a kid and at one point I did actually used to do some efed wrestling on MSN Groups, if anyone even remembers that site. So, the chance to just sort of do what I used to do but on a much bigger scale was exciting to me.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Stuart Warf: Hmm.... It's a tough one to answer because I don't really wrestle...so I'll say.... To change the perception of wrestling in SL.
do you have any Dream Matches that you'd like to see?
Stuart Warf: David Hawk Actor vs. Brakman Wylder on the basis that I see them as guys who ended up legitimately fighting their way to the VWE World Title.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Stuart Warf: I've dreaded this question as it will probably seem incredibly biased because I'm pretty Pro-VWE here and also prone to forgetting good matches I've seen, not only in VWE but also other feds that I watch from time to time. Anyways, in no particular order. 1) Tony Da Tiger vs Loody Graves at XWA Wrestleseries 1 2) Elimination Royale 2010 3) The First Elimination Dome match at VWE Versus 2012 4) Brakman Wylder vs. Loody Graves vs Derrick Cult at Wrestleseries 2 and 5) Christina Krovac vs Lily Martinez at HAWX Endings
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?
Stuart Warf: Hmm, I'd like to see Marek Hamsik vs. Alexius Gant
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Stuart Warf: This will probably be an interesting list... I'd like to thank Loody Graves for being the one who dragged me into this crazy world of wrestling in the first place as well just his drive in the past to succeed as it was a key factor for our projects way back then. I'd also like to thank Seth Cameron because of his commitment that he showed in the past that helped make wrestling in general be what it is today. I'd also like to thank Austin Knight for, if anything at least, being able to stay sane and keeping VWE at the level it has been for all these years. I'd also just like to thank probably everyone who has ever stepped foot into the wrestling world because they are all at the end of the day what helps keep this community alive and maybe if we had a bit less drama and more co-operation it would all be a better environment for us all.
do you have anyone that inspires you in making your graphics,buildings? and why?
Stuart Warf: Like any other designer or creator in the world I do find inspiration from various sources. It's hard to pinpoint on some areas but clearly WWE and to an extent TNA are definite inspirations for me. This also along with just various brands and graphics out there. In terms of buildings, Madison Square Garden which I once visited is an inspiration as well as the local arena near me. Hell, even a nightclub had given me ideas before.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Stuart Warf: 1) VWE because of the talents, history etc. 2) DCWF because again their history. They will always be able to say they were the first. 3) WPWF because it is the only female wrestling fed that is active at this time.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Stuart Warf: Unfortunately I think the SL wrestling community is very toxic at this time and I think it in part is very open to having drama happen a lot. To give the personal example of this, I'd say the recent drama over the re-skin of the NexGen HUD. In principal theory this shouldn't have caused as much of a fuss as it did because at the end of the day it was just a skin for a HUD. However people just seem to enjoy having a drama fest over anything and everything. For the most part I ignore it but I wish people would make an effort to kinda just be more chill and less hostile because it really has probably killed the community from having a big shot at growing further. Of course there's always gonna be a bunch that tend to cause problems in any community, but it's definitely more prevalent in SL wrestling.
What do you think is the most important thing to do if the SL wrestling community is to survive a few more years?
Stuart Warf: I think what some people in the community need to learn even with those in VWE and even myself to an extent Learning to not overreact to every minor thing that happens in the world but to anticipate what's taking place on the bigger picture. Maybe embrace those outside of your community more. I know I'm guilty of not going to others shows however I attend where I can at times when I can just to see what else is out there and to see where the community is going. There are definitely people out there who with the right path could be key players in the community some day.
what do you think makes a Fed strong?
Stuart Warf: A number of key factors. 1) Strong leadership teams 2) Dedicated wrestlers and inner community 3) A mentality that promotes fun but also desire to be great 4) Fans/Followers
What is your Drive in Second Life? (Asked By Falcon/Lyra)
Stuart Warf: My drive in Second Life is to put out the most entertaining products that I can, regardless of the type of area it is.
I say a word or a name. and you tell me what first pops up in your head.
10 Question game:
1: Entertaining
Stuart Warf: David Hawk Actor

give us a small introduction about yourself
Stuart Warf: My name is Stuart Warf and I do a whole Bunch of stuff. That's the short version of what I do. But in essence, what I currently do is, I am the on-screen Chairman at VWE and have also portrayed various other authority figure roles during my time in VWE. I am also the lead on Production currently in VWE. Basically my role there is to try and come up with new ways of making VWE look amazing and coming up with different concepts etc. I also have done a bunch of stuff outside of SL wrestling, including I am an Executive Producer at the recently reborn Rezzed.TV which is now partnered with M.Y. Studios which is ran by Maxine Yoshiro as well as a host on one of the shows we'll soon be producing called Take it or Leave it.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Stuart Warf: Back in 2006, which is scary to think about, at least to me it is. I was an avid listener of pod casts back then, especially as it was still in the early pioneering days of the medium. There was a couple of pod casts on there that mentioned this virtual world called Second Life and how it was a cool way to meet up and be interactive with their fans. So after a certain point, I decided to sign up for Second Life and meet up with the pod casters.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Stuart Warf: For me, it was an odd journey, at least in comparison to most wrestlers in Second Life. When I finally got into the SL Wrestling world was through the Rezzed.TV network at the time. Back in 2009, I was starting to branch out what we was doing in a bid to just be different to the other TV networks at the time and so I formed a partnership with RAGE Fighting Championships. Through that group I ended up eventually joining up with XWA thanks to some persistent German named Loody Graves wanting me to film this event called Wrestleseries. From that point on, I've pretty much been involved in Second Life Wrestling in one form or another.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Stuart Warf: Personally I've been a wrestling fan since I was a kid and at one point I did actually used to do some efed wrestling on MSN Groups, if anyone even remembers that site. So, the chance to just sort of do what I used to do but on a much bigger scale was exciting to me.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Stuart Warf: Hmm.... It's a tough one to answer because I don't really wrestle...so I'll say.... To change the perception of wrestling in SL.
do you have any Dream Matches that you'd like to see?
Stuart Warf: David Hawk Actor vs. Brakman Wylder on the basis that I see them as guys who ended up legitimately fighting their way to the VWE World Title.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Stuart Warf: I've dreaded this question as it will probably seem incredibly biased because I'm pretty Pro-VWE here and also prone to forgetting good matches I've seen, not only in VWE but also other feds that I watch from time to time. Anyways, in no particular order. 1) Tony Da Tiger vs Loody Graves at XWA Wrestleseries 1 2) Elimination Royale 2010 3) The First Elimination Dome match at VWE Versus 2012 4) Brakman Wylder vs. Loody Graves vs Derrick Cult at Wrestleseries 2 and 5) Christina Krovac vs Lily Martinez at HAWX Endings
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?
Stuart Warf: Hmm, I'd like to see Marek Hamsik vs. Alexius Gant
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Stuart Warf: This will probably be an interesting list... I'd like to thank Loody Graves for being the one who dragged me into this crazy world of wrestling in the first place as well just his drive in the past to succeed as it was a key factor for our projects way back then. I'd also like to thank Seth Cameron because of his commitment that he showed in the past that helped make wrestling in general be what it is today. I'd also like to thank Austin Knight for, if anything at least, being able to stay sane and keeping VWE at the level it has been for all these years. I'd also just like to thank probably everyone who has ever stepped foot into the wrestling world because they are all at the end of the day what helps keep this community alive and maybe if we had a bit less drama and more co-operation it would all be a better environment for us all.
do you have anyone that inspires you in making your graphics,buildings? and why?
Stuart Warf: Like any other designer or creator in the world I do find inspiration from various sources. It's hard to pinpoint on some areas but clearly WWE and to an extent TNA are definite inspirations for me. This also along with just various brands and graphics out there. In terms of buildings, Madison Square Garden which I once visited is an inspiration as well as the local arena near me. Hell, even a nightclub had given me ideas before.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Stuart Warf: 1) VWE because of the talents, history etc. 2) DCWF because again their history. They will always be able to say they were the first. 3) WPWF because it is the only female wrestling fed that is active at this time.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Stuart Warf: Unfortunately I think the SL wrestling community is very toxic at this time and I think it in part is very open to having drama happen a lot. To give the personal example of this, I'd say the recent drama over the re-skin of the NexGen HUD. In principal theory this shouldn't have caused as much of a fuss as it did because at the end of the day it was just a skin for a HUD. However people just seem to enjoy having a drama fest over anything and everything. For the most part I ignore it but I wish people would make an effort to kinda just be more chill and less hostile because it really has probably killed the community from having a big shot at growing further. Of course there's always gonna be a bunch that tend to cause problems in any community, but it's definitely more prevalent in SL wrestling.
What do you think is the most important thing to do if the SL wrestling community is to survive a few more years?
Stuart Warf: I think what some people in the community need to learn even with those in VWE and even myself to an extent Learning to not overreact to every minor thing that happens in the world but to anticipate what's taking place on the bigger picture. Maybe embrace those outside of your community more. I know I'm guilty of not going to others shows however I attend where I can at times when I can just to see what else is out there and to see where the community is going. There are definitely people out there who with the right path could be key players in the community some day.
what do you think makes a Fed strong?
Stuart Warf: A number of key factors. 1) Strong leadership teams 2) Dedicated wrestlers and inner community 3) A mentality that promotes fun but also desire to be great 4) Fans/Followers
What is your Drive in Second Life? (Asked By Falcon/Lyra)
Stuart Warf: My drive in Second Life is to put out the most entertaining products that I can, regardless of the type of area it is.
I say a word or a name. and you tell me what first pops up in your head.
