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

6: top 3 hardcore legends
A Jenn Parkin, Vendetta, Anarchy Fang
7: Top 3 Insane people

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!

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..

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!

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

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

Ranma Yoshiro: I think it's great, and it gives people a new platform to work with.
Numbers ask:
Numbers Rossini Rookie Rumble? Discuss!
Ranma Yoshiro: Well, it was myself, Number Rossini, Damen Doobie and Johnny Giha and it was our match to graduate from being rookies to pros. We all practiced that match and it was perfect, but SL decided that it just wasn't to be and we had so much lag. It turned into a bigtime mess. Numbers won the match, but had the worse lag and it looked like he didn't even really do anything.
any last words?
Ranma Yoshiro: I just would like to thank all of my friends and the fans. Without you all, I wouldn't be here today and having a blast. I also would like to remind everyone about Give Back 2012 on June 16th and 17th. Should be the most awesome show ever in SL Wrestling.

How did you get into SL wrestling?
Ranma Yoshiro: I had been role playing with the Star Wars Role playing Groups, and became disenfranchised with how things were being run from within, so I resigned and a short time later I looked up wrestling in search, and found SLCW, which is now DCWF. I liked what I saw and applied and was accepted.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?

Nova's interview with BigEvil
I'd like to thank Big Evil for taking his time even though it was done later then expected. but i enjoyed doing the interview with him i hope you all will do aswell! if you're interested to be interviewed hit me up!
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Hey My name is BigEvil , I'm a professional Wrestler with the DCWF since October 2008 , Iam a former 3 time World Heavyweight Champion and a Hall of Famer
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: I really dont go by a nickname , peeps inside and outside the DCWF call me BigE for short
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: lol My Sister had a SL account and I joined SL to hang out with her , we separated and did our own things on SL after awhile.
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Me and my Sister were friends in a community awhile back and one of the members there was an old friend of mine named Shadow Henley and he told me bout RL Wrestling on SL and showed me a notecard talking bout the SLCW around that time, so we visited the SLCW and ran into another good friend of mine named Rob Burkowski, He gave us the grand tour and i signed up right after and the rest is history
Tyress: ah Rob one of my old friends from VCW days
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: I been a fan of pro wrestling since i was in Kinder garden lol , I have gotten out of the phase of watching it for amusement even though some times I do but I studied it , promos , matches , how the match can flow etc. and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to see if I had the Wrestling Mind
Tyress: ah Same age round like me when i first watched Wrestling
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Its hard to say at this point, I have kinda done it all. I think if i had a chance to named a dream achievement at this point , it would be to continue on cause people has an expiration date at some point.
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: I would say what makes my character special is that my character is me. I'm very competitive outside the DCWF , I'm very arrogant, and i have no problem being the bad guy cause of that sense of power you have of taking any chance and risk to prove your dominance
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: I have 2 finishers , The one i commonly use is the Chokeslam. The Chokeslam will always be my most favorite move in professional wrestling and another is a Mythil Woyseck Innovation called the K.S.S , Knock Some Sense and its a more deadly and more powerful version of the G.T.S
Tyress: very ineresting moves
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: 3 years , started October 25th 2008....honestly to re answer that one question bout a dream achievement , it would be to hit the 5 year mark.
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: lol that's another hard one to answer cause i have faced everyone...hmmm...to be honest , a Dream Match i wouldn't mind is getting one more match against Tenzan Karu , I faced him very early in my career and I would love to have just one more clash now that iam more seasoned as I was before
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in SLCW/DCWF which has been your favorites?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Number 5 would be Alpin vs Tenzan at Wrestlefest 1 , that was a brutal yet thrilling match. Number 4 would be my match at would be Blizzard 2008 and that Falls Count Anywhere match with Wolfy that I still get hell for cause Wolfy threw me in that Snowman that Little Timmy made. Number 3 would be the Prison Break Match at Locked Up with Myself and Vince cause it was a brutal yet great way to end that year long feud. Number 2 would be the I Quit match I had with Ranma at this years Wrestlefest cause for the first time, Me and Ranma had that crowd emotionally in the palm of our hands and topping that list will forever be the Pits of Hell Inferno Match.
Tyress: How long have you been in DCWF?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: 3 years, will be 4 this October
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: lol People prolly have it memorized cause i say it alot....I'm the first to win the Chaos for the Contract Match , I was named the 2009 Male Wrestler of the Year, I was inducted into the Hall of Fame as well in 2009. Iam a former International Champion and 3 times I have been the World Heavyweight Champion. I have ended Careers, demasked people, made tasers popular in SL, blew up limos and chokeslammed management more times then i can count
Tyress: thats some neat achievements you have made
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: I usually fly solo , I never really showed interest into tag teams cause I'm very picky on a partner, someone that shows similarities with me and someone i know we can be very dangerous as a team. Numbers Rossini and I have shown that in our short time as the Twin Towers which by the way , i'm the Bigger Tower
Tyress: if you could be the Booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Main event?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Mythil Woyseck vs Vince Easterwood in a 1 hour Submissions only IronMan Match
Nuff Said
Tyress: who trained you?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Waroop Bravin
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: The Pits of Hell Inferno Match, that Match was amazing and then the twist after when I cashed the Chaos for the Contract and won my first world title....it was the start of My Federation
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: I would have a long list cause without any of them and they know who they are, I wouldnt be here but if there was one person i would thank right now, its be Numbers, sometimes i can be a pain in the ass but Numbers would always pull me aside and will either lay down the law or would look out for what the best for me. Even though Hes the Boss , Hes one of my closest friends and I will always considered my brother
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: The Roster, the DCWF Roster cause those people , every one of them inspires me cause they will go out there and give the fans if its 10 or 100 everything they got.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: The Undertaker cause He sets the standards in the WWE that I believe no one will match to , He represents everything that's good bout the business and I have lived though his character and i have enjoyed every moments of the 2 decades of destruction. lol I even toasted with the family when we watched him go 20-0
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: usually Black and Green but its been Black and White for awhile
Tyress: as we know theres allot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: There is 2 versions of a SL Pro Wrestler, there is one version that knows how its structured and how its should be done right and there is the other that makes a fed just so He or She can holds all the belts and say they are all that. and when they realized that the others are getting that attention , jealousy rises and rumors flow from that , it was like that long ago and at times we live that once in awhile but its been so much better.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Much better then before , some say we r just die hard fans playing a game but they are wrong , We are ALL entertainers and I believe we look out more for each other the the past

Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in SLCW/DCWF which has been your favorites?
BigEvil Mandelkorn: Number 5 would be Alpin vs Tenzan at Wrestlefest 1 , that was a brutal yet thrilling match. Number 4 would be my match at would be Blizzard 2008 and that Falls Count Anywhere match with Wolfy that I still get hell for cause Wolfy threw me in that Snowman that Little Timmy made. Number 3 would be the Prison Break Match at Locked Up with Myself and Vince cause it was a brutal yet great way to end that year long feud. Number 2 would be the I Quit match I had with Ranma at this years Wrestlefest cause for the first time, Me and Ranma had that crowd emotionally in the palm of our hands and topping that list will forever be the Pits of Hell Inferno Match.

BigEvil Mandelkorn: There is 2 versions of a SL Pro Wrestler, there is one version that knows how its structured and how its should be done right and there is the other that makes a fed just so He or She can holds all the belts and say they are all that. and when they realized that the others are getting that attention , jealousy rises and rumors flow from that , it was like that long ago and at times we live that once in awhile but its been so much better.
