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
QUESTIONS/Kings/Queens

5: top 3 OMG moments
A: Top Moment.. Maxine Throwing Tiesa off the Rafters to win the Hardcore Championship at Summer Daze.. #2, anytime Acheron uses a damn spell.. I still blink in disbelief at times, and I've been the VICTIM of them.. and #3 the day I won the IHC Title at uHw after a frickin amazing match.
6: top 3 hardcore legends
A Jenn Parkin, Vendetta, Anarchy Fang
7: Top 3 Insane people
A: I'm gonna lump three into one.. JHG.. (Especially now that they added their new drummer) Isabelle Martinez and Me.. only because my mouth tends to write checks my body hasn't been able to cash yet... (except a few times)
8: top 3 weapons
A: Chair, Table, Knucks *rubs his jaw*
9: top 3 gimmicks
A: Marionetta, Acheron, and the new CrazyNirvana

King & Queen of DCWF
A: Drewski and Tara
Princess & Queen of HAWX

King & Queen of uHw
A: h that's not fair.. Umm.. Honey Bluntz and... umm... ummm... well, it would have been Acheron, but he's gone now.. umm... Yancy Low.. Love his new Gimmick
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!

Tyress: as we know there is alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Rumors are just basically a hindrance of someones true personality over time, people only judge by people's reputations, if people were to get past that, THEN it would make things a lot better.
Tyress: is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Well as people are aware apw is aligned with hawx, intense wrestling and oew, which is part of the virtual world wrestling alliance. hence VWWA, but if i would want someone to come work along side apw as well it would have to be vwwf and uhw, they both have some incredible talent.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Broly Blackheart Sr. (broly.yakubu): hmm it would be hard, to name the top 3 feds in sl wrestling, cause it would stir the pot, with other feds trying to get their name out there.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Broly Blackheart Sr.: well from a year ago, it has improved with new feds popping up, give back 2012, was a great indication where the community is heading, when people put opinion's aside and work together, but the community can be a bit opinionated on other people, which is why "turf wars" do start some time.

Broly Blackheart Sr.: if i could put someone together, I think i would put Derrick Zane as a heel, with Maven Gothly, Isabelle martinez, and Vendetta
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?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: it would most likely be a mixed Tag Team Derrick Zane And Nina Prater Vs Derrick Cult And Jenn Parkin

Broly Blackheart Sr.: I've been mainly trained by Akasha faulkes, and Derrick cult, Ive also had help from the side from Adune Snowpaw, Derrick Zane, Ryan Fury and Curt Bomastic.
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Broly Blackheart Sr: I would have to say my TOP moment, was opening APW, it started out with a conversation with my wife aurora, she said i should go with it, so i got with Scott hex, anarchy , toxic and a few others, and we pulled a roster together.
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Mainly i would like to thank the people who trained me, and everyone who's been at my side since the roller coaster ride began lol.

Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: i would have to say my biggest inspiration, would have been, shinja, that guy can sit there any situation with a cool head, and its rare you see anyone make him mad.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Broly Blackheart Sr: well as far as rl wrestling goes, i would have to say..... -insert elevator music here- none other then Austin Aries, he's got the mic skills, and he works the ring very well
Tyress: what is your attire based on and what is the colors?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: My attire is actually a custom made, one, its blue pin stripping with a pin up girl on an 8 ball,
Tyress: what made you decide to start your own Federation?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: i got tired of empty promises, and fake talk, so when apw had its first preview show we had a few people, which is how ignition got born.

Broly Blackheart Sr.: actually i only have one regret, but its more of a personal thing kept private.
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in APW?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: Justine Bailey Vs Honey Bluntz on the Elevation X at casino royale, Scott Hex Vs Myself, which was an electric steel cage match for control of apw, Anarchy Fang Vs Toxic Fang, Maven Gothly Vs Scott hex at casino royale, and Deamon Rage Vs Romlic The Rebel Diamond which was a ladder match for the apw intercontinental title, for summer brawl.

Tyress: has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Broly Blackheart Sr.: Truthfully no it hasn't, there has been very stress full moments, where it pushes on my nerves, but i still stay in there and keep shows going.,
Tyress: as we know there is alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Rumors are just basically a hindrance of someones true personality over time, people only judge by people's reputations, if people were to get past that, THEN it would make things a lot better.
Tyress: is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
Broly Blackheart Sr: Well as people are aware apw is aligned with hawx, intense wrestling and oew, which is part of the virtual world wrestling alliance. hence VWWA, but if i would want someone to come work along side apw as well it would have to be vwwf and uhw, they both have some incredible talent.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Broly Blackheart Sr. (broly.yakubu): hmm it would be hard, to name the top 3 feds in sl wrestling, cause it would stir the pot, with other feds trying to get their name out there.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Broly Blackheart Sr.: well from a year ago, it has improved with new feds popping up, give back 2012, was a great indication where the community is heading, when people put opinion's aside and work together, but the community can be a bit opinionated on other people, which is why "turf wars" do start some time.

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

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

Dead End Predictions With Rubie Jules
Match 1:
Lee Valentine Vs Savannah Mohegan Who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I think Lee cause she's the veteran wrestler. Savannah's been around a long time, but Lee's more experienced in the ring.
Match 2:
Lily Martines Vs Nanny Gothly Who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I'm going to say Lily because she wants it more than Nanny I think.
Match 3:
Tag Team Championship 3-way match! Current Tag team Champions Struk brothers Vs Bad Intentions (Derrick cult & Jackson doune) Vs The Aussies ( Josh Poffo & Xander Lucas) Woo do you think wins and why?
Rubie Jules: I think my boys Derrick and Jackson will win. Both Derrick and Jackson are former World Champions and the Struks just don't have it in them to beat them this time. The Aussies have allot to prove before I can predict them winning a championship match.
Match 4:
Braden Karsin Vs Michael Karsin in a Loser leaves VWE Match who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: I predict Braden will lose. He's a talented wrestler, but he hasn't appeared as convincing to me as Michael has.
Match 5:
Christina Krovac vs Tyress Serevi VWE Women's championship Rematch who do you think will win and why?
Rubie Jules: My money's on Christina. That girl's really changed for the better and I'm sure she has some underhanded tricks up her sleeve in store for Tyress.
Match 6:
Benja Nirvana Vs Cody Houley VWE World heavyweight championship who wins and why?
Rubie Jules: I think Benja will retain this time. Cody's well on his way, but I don't think he can beat Benja just yet.
any last words?
Rubie Jules: Looks can be deceiving so don't hate me cause I'm beautiful *blows a kiss*
I'd also like to thank those that helps spreading the word out about this blog those being HAWX an all female promotion, UHW a fed thats growing strong and VWE almost 4 years old and is still going stronger then ever! if you'd like to be interviewed hit me up on Facebook or SL! ( Tyress Serevi ) and i'll put you on the list! if you want your place to be plugged here hit me up and we'll see what we can come up with! ;) until next interview!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Rubie Jules: Hi! My name is Rubie Jules and I am the Glamour Girl, VWE Bombshell and Manager
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Rubie Jules: As I already mentioned I'm the Glamour Girl. I picked the name out myself because when I was still new to the world of SL wrestling I pictured my character similar to WWF's Marlena. I wanted to be very classy and glamorous so the name just worked for me.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Rubie Jules: Well I had always been a big fan of the Sims games and eventually that drew me into PlayStation Home. It was allot of fun and I'd read the forums often and see people talk about Second Life every so often, that made me curious so I researched SL and eventually decided to play for myself. It didn't take long for me to abandon PS Home and focus on SL only.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Rubie Jules: Before I found out about SL wrestling I had been a fan of RL wrestling for a whole decade. I had searched for WWF and WWE in SL but that didn't get me closer to SL wrestling. One day a friend of mine from a rp sim asked me to see her house and it was decorated like a wrestling arena. Turns out she ran a pose ball wrestling fed in SL and told me a bit about it wanting me to join. I didn't think it was for me, but it helped me learn about wrestling in SL which led me to search further and eventually find 2 feds I was interested in XWA and DCWF. Soon after I applied to both feds, but never heard back from DCWF and while watching a Loody Graves promo it really inspired me so we got to talking and he hired me in XWA.
How Did you debut in the ring? (First Ring appearance)
Rubie Jules: Well I had made a few appearances managing Vodka Doomdale while still a rookie, but that was just me trying to run before I could walk lol. I made my bombshell debuted in a XWA women's championship match booked by then GM Akasha Faulkes in her attempt to screw with then champion Vendetta. Of course I was just a rookie bombshell so I should pose no threat to Vendetta, but the match revealed my association with the newly formed dominant faction at the time Impac Mafia. Vendetta retained the title, but the whole thing provided me with an impressive in ring debut match.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Rubie Jules: Like I said I had been a long time fan of RL wrestling. My brothers and I would play SD vs RAW games at home and I'd often play a diva as the manager or special guest referee lol. Anyway once I found out that SL had wrestling shows I knew I wanted to be part of that.

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.

Reader's questions:
Nanny asks:
Nanny Gothly Can I have his entrance music?
Ranma Yoshiro:LOL She has been after my music for a while, and the answer is still NO!!
Ray Asks:
Ray Volution Have you ever been compared to other SL Wrestlers?
Ranma Yoshiro: Nope.
Bazza asks:
Bazza Windlow what to think of the #flippyshit and what does it mean to you
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.
Again Thank you Ranma, and again Next week i will be interviewing Numbers Rossini the head of Give Back 2012 what is Give back? What is it about? Find out by reading it early next week!
also thank you HAWX,VWE and UHW for plugging this blog to visit them check their sites by clicking on the logos! if you want to be plugged or have your place linked on this blog hit me up and we'll see what we can do!
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.
