I'd like to Thank Curt for taking his time to make this interview I'm sure you'll find it very interesting! so enjoy guys! also still looking for people to interview specially from UHW,OEW,HAWX
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
Curt: Oh jeez where Do i begin?
Well The Name is Curt Bombastic, Obviously. Been Around SL for almost 3 years now, Been involved in RL wrestling For over 15 years ... Ummmm Yea, Known as The "Irresistible One" and I currently Wrestle at United Honour wrestling ... oh, and I'm an asshole -lol-
Tyress: He totally forgot Curt F'n Bombastic
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Curt: LOL ... I do have several names that people call me .. all to which I'm used to but I'm known as "The Irresistible One" ... Funny story on that as it traces back to my RL training days ... the man who originally trained me was Sweet Daddy Siki .. His moniker was "Mr. Irresistible" ... so I use the name "Irresistible One" in tribute to him, plus he gave it to me after a year in RL wrestling, saying I earned it
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Curt: Well I can thank my rl best friend for that, Ruff Zepp, owner of Red Dog Gear .. for a year he kept on telling me about SL, at How AMAZING and cool it was ... so finally, to shut him up, I told him I'll try it ... I created my Avatar and well .. the rest is history .... He got me hooked
Tyress: interesting way to join Second Life
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Curt:once again, Blame Ruff ... It was 4 months into SL, I was helping him at his old Race track., He KNEW I used to wrestle and was a Huge fan of wrestling and he went out and Gathered a TON of wrestling Landmarks for me to check out like Alpin's old Arena, Loody's old GCW, the old DCWF, HKWF, XWA and a few Others ... I looked at them all, and found I liked what I saw from the XWA, so I applied .. and That's where I started .. I had a blast there ... Today its the VWE and although I'm no longer there (haven't been for 2 years now) I STILL love the place
Tyress: ....I am starting to feel old...
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Curt: Well At first I wasn't sure about It ... I had no One train me, all I knew was I could buy alipn's moves ... but no one showed me ... But when i applied at XWA, people like Jenn here, and Loody, Kim and a few others were nice enough to teach me the basics ... so really, what I loved about it was the fact that People in this Community were willing to give some one new a chance ... I decided then and there that I wanted to do this. After all, I ALWAYS loved it in RL .. and was Always a fan, even though I did it in RL so why not do it on SL too?
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Curt: Personally ... Yes and No ... EVERYONE wants to be "The Champion" ... lets Face it ... and I admit, when I first started doing this, that WAS my Goal .. but My goals have changed alot since then. I think I've accomplished what i set out to do. My Goal is to put on quality Matches that people can walk away from and say "Wow, what a GREAT match!!" .. I don't care if I'm winning or losing. If I put on a good match, then I'm happy. I've trained quite a few people as well. From Vicki Vain, to Maxine and More and I can proudly say "Yea, I trained them" .... I've helped establish the uHw as well ... so in a way, I've happy with what I've achieved in SL Wrestling. I'm not interested in winning titles, I'm interested in making anyone i can look good, if not BETTER than me at times.
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Curt: What sets him apart is He's .. well .. The asshole. Yes, There has been plenty of Heels .. and Really good ones too .. From Jenn, to Seth Cameron, to Shinja, to Alpin, To Numbers Rossini and BigEvil, to Horses ... But i like to think I bring the unusual swagger, the cocky arrogance with my Heel character. one like Kurt Angle, the late Great Curt Hennig (gee, I'm seeing a Pattern here) and even Randy Orton in his Heel days .... plus, I like to Bring a Big Fight atmosphere to my Matches. Incorporate Mix Martial arts like Muay Thai. People like me and Shinja and Andrea Fawcett, we Brought a unique Style of Wrestling to SL called Strong Style, made popular in Japan .. Hell, even Derrick Cult uses that style too ...
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Curt: Oh Boy .. Lets Get Comfy, shall we? I use All sorts cuz I like to put my opponents away in many different ways. First off, there's the "Canadian Clutch", which is known in Japan as the Gorilla Clutch. Its a Reverse, Inverted Texas Cloverleaf/Ankle lock Submission Hold .. a move NO ONE has ever escaped from ... I also have the Northern Lights Driver, My Tribute to the Late Misawa who Used that move himself, which is basically a Scoop Piledriver ... For Quick Surprise Ending I have three Versions of The Irresistible Ending, which is a RKO/Diamond Cutter, but I use variations of it like the front Leaping STO and a Reverse Leaping STO as well ... Plus I'm working on a New one that I plan on debuting soon .. a little something I like to call the Mainlining Murder .... but that will be revealed in due time -grins-
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Curt: Thinks here ... Jeez, I think We're going on 2 1/2 years, Maybe 3 Now .... Yea That's about right ... almost 3 years now .. wow, Time Flies, I guess, huh?
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
Curt: Who Doesn't? There are Re-matches I would LOVE to have, Me vs. Seth Cameron again, Me vs. Benja Nirvana and beat the "daddy thing outta him -lol- .. Ummm I would have LOVED to face Alpin Criss ... Hell, even Jenn here, I would have LOVED to have a match with Her .. it be bloody, It be violent .. it be FUN ... even I admit, I'd love to face YOU one day as I LOVE wrestling High Fliers with my style of wrestling. Me vs. Brakman Wylder again would be another Fun match .. I ALWAYS loved facing Derrick Zane as well ....
Tyress: I'd totally make him tap to the black hole...or try to see how flexible he is to the breaking stars..
Curt: Another Match I'd love would be against Bazza Windlow ... One day I'll face that rat Bastard -lol-
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Curt: Oh Boy .. Lets see ..... Jerico vs Bazza or Mythil were an AMAZING Matches .. LOVED watching those three go at it .... Vendetta vs. Akasha Faulkes .. One HELL of a Feud ... even the HAWx feud involving Jenn Parkin vs. Vendetta ... man, That was Violent and I LOVED it .....I Never got to See Alpin Criss face Shinja's "cousin" .. But Heard their I Quit match was not only LONG but set the Standard .. wish I could have seen it .... Plus, the Last VWE Elimination Chamber Match ... I watched it and I had to give EVERYONE a round of applause .. It was REALLY good
Tyress: How long have you been in your current Fed?
Curt :I've Been in uHw since its Beginning .. and We're Coming up to I believe a year now .... so Yea, About a year, if not a little longer
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Curt: I can proudly say I was there for the Early days of the XWA which became, as we all know, the VWE ... and helped establish it with allot of Talented people .. I was one half of the first XWA/VWE Tag team champions .... I've Trained People like Vicki Vain, Benja Nirvana, Maxine Endrizzi and more, and also Helped Establish the uHw as one of its Founders ...Plus I like to think I've put on some of the best matches that the fans have seen. Matches like me vs. Derrick Zane, vs. Brakman, vs. Seth Cameron, vs. Dewski Hoxley and Mythil Worseck (Knows I just spelled his last name wrong .. Sorry Myth!! lol) and more ... I don't ever take full credit for those matches cuz it Takes TWO to make a great match .. but I'm proud of those matches
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Curt: I'd LOVE to Bring back the Original Impac Mafia again ... Sam "The Man", Derrick Cult and Myself .. That be a blast ... Hell, I'd even love to team up with Derrick Zane one day .. if any arena can withstand our Combined Ego's ... I'd say I[d love to Team up with Benja & Drewski too but I'd be the Canadian with Two Texans and .. yea, that don't mix well .. but it WOULD be fun -lol-
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?
Curt: Loaded Question ... Hmmmm? ..... I'd LOVE to see Numbers Rossini vs. Seth Cameron ... guest Referee, Eric Stuart .. is it asking for trouble, yea .. but I think those Two would ACTUALLY put on a HELL of a match .. a good fight and one i KNOW everyone would love to see ...
Tyress: who trained you?
Curt: Initially, Loody Graves ... He gave me one day of Training though .... But Jenn Parkin here taught me allot, as did Kim Soulstar, Nanny Gothly and especially Vendetta who taught me to REALLY think outside the box
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Curt: I think That's a Tie .... One going two years back and one only recently .... the first one is a Match I had with Loody Graves. Say what you will about him but he and I had a FUN feud in its day ... which Ended with a Gauntlet Match. We involved Brandon Karsin (I believe), Brakman Wylder and MadMax ... It was GREAT ... We established Each of them as Future Stars and I did my Best to help them look good .. which was easy cuz Brakman and Max were already good ... They looked like a Million Bucks ... and Brandon eventually went on to Learn from that match too ... then the End had Me and loody .. I went through Hell, was a beaten and bloody match and Loody came in and EVERYONE thought I was done. a EASY pin .. Nope .. I fought back until the VERY end .. he pulled out EVERYTHING to beat me, and He still couldn't do it until he had Louve help him ... It was a GREAT match and I LOVED how it came out ... the other was my return to SL wrestling a month ago after taking time away ... I had EVERYONE cheering my name, welcoming me back and everything .. even those who I haven't always seen eye to eye, EVERYONE welcomed me back warmly .. it was truly touching and something I'll never forget
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Curt: Some may be surprised by this cuz our History but Seth Cameron. Seriously, if it wasn't for him letting me be Me, I wouldn't be here today. He gave me the platform to become the type of wrestler I wanted to be and said "Go for it .. heres the ball, run with it" .. he took that chance on me and I can never thank him enough for that.
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Curt: Lets See ... I was in the XWA/VWE .. I've wrestled in DCWF, OEW, and the uWs which is now uHw
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Curt: This may seem Odd but Derrick Zane. His character is a bastard like myself But behind the scenes, He's pretty unselfish. He only cares about Promoting The Other wrestlers, pushing THEM to be better and to improve. He has never cared for titles or wins and Losses. The same goes for Shinja .. I have so much respect for Him. Another would be Alpin. The reason is simple. Here's a Man who help CREATE the ACPWS system ... He could win ANY match he ever wanted. But has he? Nope. In his career he only won, what was it? 7 matches. SEVEN ... cuz he ALWAYS wanted to put his opponent over no matter what. I can respect that.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Curt: Sweet Daddy Siki is STILL a Mentor of mine. Plus I'm a HUGE Roddy Piper and Nick Bockwinkel fan .... currently, I LOVE watching Ring Of Honor .. guys like Davey Richards and even Kevin Steen ...
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Curt: currently its Black Red and Silver but I'm getting some New Gear made for me that are gonna be White, red and black ....
Tyress: as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Curt: not knowing the facts, and I've been just as guilty about this as anyone. People hear one thing and spread it around with the "did you know .." or "I heard this .." BS ... if theres a rumor going around, try to get your facts, I say. Go to the source, ask politely .. if they refuse to answer, respect that and drop it. It's really that simple
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Curt: Easy ... #1 - DCWF for Its Wrestling, #2 - HAWx for not only its wrestling and Story lines, but their uniqueness and creativity ... #3 is still the VWE for its Presentation Package, cuz they Make It LOOK good. That's not to say there isn't Great wrestling there, but man, VWE has always known how to take its product, wrap it in a great looking bow and present it as something HUGE in my opinion
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Curt: Its GETTING Better. ALOT better. In the past, the Dividing lines were deep, and their still deep to this day. It was the "You're with us or against us" mentality ... there WAS no community, but in the past 6 months to a year, those dividing lines has REALLY begun to heal. We're seeing wrestling promotions (Not companies, sorry, personal opinion there) now starting to work together for the greater good, and that's to Promote and Showcase SL Wrestling as a whole. And That's what I LOVE to see ...

Nova's interview with Kimberly Soulstar
I'd Like to Thank Kimberly for taking her time on making this interview i've personally wanted to make this interview with her for a longtime! so enjoy guys!
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
Kimberly: My name is Kimberly Soulstar, Kim for the most tho... I´m the Dark Diva... Former HKWF Women´t Champion and also former VWE Women´s Champion...
Tyress: Also the one that trained me *coughs*
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Kimberly: Oh, my stage name... funny story actually... xD
like most people when they start their wrestling career I was looking for a gimmick, or better the way I wanted to present myself in the ring, so I tried out a lot of stuff
and somehow I ended up looking like one of those lip gloss Divas, and everybody liked that look on me, but I never was like that, so I decided to form my own style of Diva, less lip gloss and more ass kicking, so I became the "Dark Diva".
Tyress: I miss the Dark Diva in the ring...
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Kimberly: hm... honestly I can´t really tell anymore... think I was just bored and accidentally found it... I joined and like it from the beginning and got addicted like the most of us, hehe. not a great story, I know, but that´s how I got here
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Kimberly: oh, I was introduced to it by one of my oldest friends on here, Loody Graves... I was really into SL martial arts from the beginning and that´s where I got to know him, and he was doing also wrestling, and he gave me my first lessons and since I really loved it he send me to HKWF to apply there... Some days later... Tadaaa, Kimmy was a wrestler =)
Tyress: bets someone will call on that name
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Kimberly: Hmm... several reasons... first I loved RL Wrestling since I was young... and the fact I could maybe do something similar on here made me curious, and I love the fact that I can be so creative with it... figuring out new moves, making matches look good and stuff like that... oh and nothing can be compared to the feeling you get when a whole arena is chanting your name. really gets you addicted, hehe
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Kimberly: Hmm... might sound dumb and conceited now, but I think I accomplished pretty much everything that I could in SL wrestling... still having some unfinished business with some people due to my kind of forced retirement tho
Tyress: What do you think made Your Character Special?
Kimberly: Hm... that´s a good question indeed, hehe, but think my fans could answer that better then me, I just say what the Dark Diva is about... She always works her ass off for a match, she always tried to be entertaining and she always busts her ass to be victorious... maybe that´s why, but like I said, it´s the fans that decide if a character is special
Tyress: the Dark Diva is one of my inspirations!
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Kimberly: well I have developed several during my wrestling career, my very first was the "Dark Moon Rising" tho, which basically is a Shooting Star Splash, my second one is the Emerald Fusion, pretty much self-explaining for those who know wrestling, lol. My fav one is the Kimrana, a Hurracanrana from behind. Also have some signature moves like the "Tribute to the Troops", my version of a Roundhouse Kick... I have several more, but would take too long to name then all...
Tyress: one move I use is the Moonsault as a tribute to Kimberly.
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Kimberly: I´ve been into SL wrestling for 3 years now
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
Kimberly: oh, I am proud to say that I already fought all people I could think of... name them and I fought them... maybe only one last match is missing, but maybe I´ll step back into the ring for it one day... *winks*
Tyress: Dibs
Kimberly: oh, and a certain raccoon-eyed Bitch is always on top of my list for a little ass-kicking...
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Kimberly: OK... I won´t name any of mine since I loved them all, due to the fun I had doing them and due to the awesome people I had the pleasure to do them with... and as for matches that I wasn´t involved... I would choose the Scaffold Match between Akasha and Ven, and the glass cage match with Jenn and Vendetta... there have been so many more that would deserve to be on that list, so just gonna stop...
Tyress: How long were you in your last Fed?
Kimberly: oh, I can say I was in one fed since I started wrestling and I never changed...
I started in HKWF and when it merged with VWE I just stayed till my retirement
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Kimberly: I never really aimed for them but I was always honored that I could go for them... I was HKWF Women´s Champion and later on also VWE Women´s champion, and I was inducted into the VWE Hall of Fame what I am really proud of... but my greatest accomplishment is that I was always able to put on great matches and I manages to entertain the audience... at least I hope I did, hehe
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Kimberly: Hmm... the Dark Diva normally always wanders alone, but I would love to have my young Padawan (Tyress Serevi) by side since we would just kick ass together and I always have to say my lovely wife Elisa Riddler. but there are a lot of great wrestlers out there that I would love to team up with
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?
Kimberly: uh-uhhhhh... that´s a hard one... not really sure, since there are so many awesome wrestlers out there... so I´ll be just selfish now and choose a 3-way match between me, Jenn Parkin and the Nova to see who would come out on top, hehe
Tyress: Epic Match!
Kimberly: Hehe, yes the ring would be shaking, couldn't resist
Tyress: who trained you?
Kimberly: Like I said earlier I learned my first basics from Loody, then later in HKWF I had the honor to be trained by Shinja, still one of the best in the business, later on I developed my skills and many things more together with Jenn, we spend so many nights, beating the hell out of each other to try out new things, hehe.
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Kimberly: that´s easy... it was my Bared Wire Asylum match with Jenn, we had so much hype and response on that match it was just so awesome, after that match I really felt like a wrestler, and even so early in my career, I think it was on of my best matches that I was ever in.
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Kimberly: Oh... that´s gonna be a long list... the most important person for sure is Jenn Parkin, I would not be where I am now without her, the Dark Diva like that wouldn´t even exist, she helped me so much and I always had them most fun with her, for sure also my lovely wife Elisa, cause everything would have been only half the fun if I wouldn´t have been able to share it with her... gosh so many more people... Louve McMahon for all the faith she had in me and the help she offered... Nanny, Vendetta, Akasha for all the fun times we had together... of course my favourite student Tyress for always being so much fun to hang out with... I could really go on now, so I just thank all my friends that I had the honor and of course the pleasure to meet during my time in wresting, you all have earned your place in my heart, everyone for different reasons ans I will never forget the fun times I had with you all
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Kimberly: I have started my wrestling career at the HKWF and as it merged with VWE I just stayed there, so HKWF and VWE it is.
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Kimberly: Hmm... not really somebody that inspired me, I always tried to be myself without copying somebody... I always loved the creativity of Ven tho, and the devotion on her character from Akasha tho, and for sure Jenn, for being just so real as the Hardcore Freak, you would never guess she´s a sweet as a kitty inside, haha.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Kimberly: I just can name my fav wrestler the Rock here, cause I always loved the way he "worked" the audience, I also wanted to do that on here...
oh oh, also the Hardy Boys and Lita, cause I really loved the way their style in the ring, I kind of have a familiar one... hehe
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Kimberly: well the Dark Diva is an Army Brat, so you will always see her wear Camo in the ring
Tyress: Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Kimberly: I would love to see all my friends on action again, so it would be Jenn and Vendetta vs Tyress and Nanny, hehe ^^
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Kimberly: : I say VWE for giving me the opportunity to prove myself there and HAWX for being the only all girl fed around, unfortunately I never got to fight there much tho... but I always loved the thought of it.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Kimberly: Oh, I´m not really updated on the "SL Wrestling Community" due to my long absence, but I always disliked the rivalry going on between the feds, but I also never cared about them, I have friends in nearly all feds and I will keep it like that.

I was HKWF Women´s Champion and later on also VWE Women´s champion, and I was inducted into the VWE Hall of Fame what I am really proud of... but my greatest accomplishment is that I was always able to put on great matches and I manages to entertain the audience... at least I hope I did, hehe
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Kimberly: Hmm... the Dark Diva normally always wanders alone, but I would love to have my young Padawan (Tyress Serevi) by side since we would just kick ass together and I always have to say my lovely wife Elisa Riddler. but there are a lot of great wrestlers out there that I would love to team up with
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?
Kimberly: uh-uhhhhh... that´s a hard one... not really sure, since there are so many awesome wrestlers out there... so I´ll be just selfish now and choose a 3-way match between me, Jenn Parkin and the Nova to see who would come out on top, hehe
Tyress: Epic Match!
Kimberly: Hehe, yes the ring would be shaking, couldn't resist
Tyress: who trained you?
Kimberly: Like I said earlier I learned my first basics from Loody, then later in HKWF I had the honor to be trained by Shinja, still one of the best in the business, later on I developed my skills and many things more together with Jenn, we spend so many nights, beating the hell out of each other to try out new things, hehe.
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Kimberly: that´s easy... it was my Bared Wire Asylum match with Jenn, we had so much hype and response on that match it was just so awesome, after that match I really felt like a wrestler, and even so early in my career, I think it was on of my best matches that I was ever in.
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Kimberly: Oh... that´s gonna be a long list... the most important person for sure is Jenn Parkin, I would not be where I am now without her, the Dark Diva like that wouldn´t even exist, she helped me so much and I always had them most fun with her, for sure also my lovely wife Elisa, cause everything would have been only half the fun if I wouldn´t have been able to share it with her... gosh so many more people... Louve McMahon for all the faith she had in me and the help she offered... Nanny, Vendetta, Akasha for all the fun times we had together... of course my favourite student Tyress for always being so much fun to hang out with... I could really go on now, so I just thank all my friends that I had the honor and of course the pleasure to meet during my time in wresting, you all have earned your place in my heart, everyone for different reasons ans I will never forget the fun times I had with you all
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Kimberly: I have started my wrestling career at the HKWF and as it merged with VWE I just stayed there, so HKWF and VWE it is.
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Kimberly: Hmm... not really somebody that inspired me, I always tried to be myself without copying somebody... I always loved the creativity of Ven tho, and the devotion on her character from Akasha tho, and for sure Jenn, for being just so real as the Hardcore Freak, you would never guess she´s a sweet as a kitty inside, haha.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Kimberly: I just can name my fav wrestler the Rock here, cause I always loved the way he "worked" the audience, I also wanted to do that on here...
oh oh, also the Hardy Boys and Lita, cause I really loved the way their style in the ring, I kind of have a familiar one... hehe
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Kimberly: well the Dark Diva is an Army Brat, so you will always see her wear Camo in the ring
Tyress: Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Kimberly: I would love to see all my friends on action again, so it would be Jenn and Vendetta vs Tyress and Nanny, hehe ^^
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Kimberly: : I say VWE for giving me the opportunity to prove myself there and HAWX for being the only all girl fed around, unfortunately I never got to fight there much tho... but I always loved the thought of it.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Kimberly: Oh, I´m not really updated on the "SL Wrestling Community" due to my long absence, but I always disliked the rivalry going on between the feds, but I also never cared about them, I have friends in nearly all feds and I will keep it like that.

Nova's interview with Celtdan McMahon
I'd like to thank Celtdan for taking his time to make this interview i had alot of fun doing it with him! so enjoy guys! :)
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
Celtdan: Alright, well I'm Celtdan McMahon, current play-by-play commentator for DCWF on Saturdays a semi-retired wrestler and a semi retired wrestler I should say first CEltism of the interview
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Celtdan: Well I suppose my nickname is "Jaboom!", which has a funny story about it. In a match in early 2009, I was going for my finisher, the powerbomb, and as I went to type in Kaboom, I typo'd and it came out as Jaboom! It caught on immediately and has stuck on ever since.
Tyress: Interesting way of a nickname to appear from
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Celtdan: I found out about it on Sky News in the UK and it looked interesting so I decided to find out what it was all about, so I signed up and I immediately became obsessed with this crazy world
Tyress: Crazy? there is no such thing as cra- oh wait...second life Wrestling..
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well, I found out about a federation named Evolution Pro Wrestling which was looking to make itself big in SL, and I checked out the arena and was amazed at how well detailed it was. I originally applied to be a referee before deciding to wrestle, but I was fired before I could wrestle a match, and the place never got of the ground. As for DCWF/SLCW, I found it randomly on the internet. It was a geocities website created by former owner Ivan Halfpint, and as they say, the rest was history. :P
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Celtdan: I'm a big wrestling fan IRL, and the idea of getting involved in something that at the time was revolutionary really appealed to me. Of course, I had no idea at the time what SL wrestling would become and how much it would eventually mean to me.
Tyress: Yeah it tends to Suck you in litterly
Celtdan: Damn right
twice I nearly got out and nearly went other places...but no, they just wouldn't let go
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well, most of my dreams have been accomplished, in terms of wrestling certain people like Drewski and Big Evil. I suppose my dream achievement is to either wrestle in the Main Event of WrestleFest or become DCWF World Champion. Technically, I have been world champion but it was taken off me by the bastard owner Eric at the time who was very protective of his world title. I held it for about 20 seconds
I might not get those opportunities though, as I'm a commentator these days, and wrestling matches isn't something I do very often. It's certainly something I want to go do more often again, though.
Tyress: Ouch 20 seconds :s
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Celtdan: Good question! I suppose as a commentator, people appreciate my love for the business and my passion for my job as a commentator. I love commentating because it gives me something different to do, and I appreciate that people enjoy my work. As a wrestler, I don't really know if there is anything particularly special about my character, although during my drunk gimmick days, it was certainly very unique, that's for sure.
,
Tyress: one of my Favorite commentators over at DCWF had to be said.
Celtdan: Thank you :)
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Celtdan: My finisher is "Jaboom", a sitdown powerbomb. My old finishers were the "Dublin Driver", the rock bottom and I used to use a crossface known as the "Celtdan Crossface"
Tyress: some interesting names on those finishers
Celtdan: My old character was actually meant to be Irish even though I'm scottish and was announced from Scotland
so that's why it was called the Dublin Driver
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: I've been in SL wrestling since August 2007, which is when I signed up with EPW. The only person around as long is Ari Lane, who actually started in EPW with me. We've been friends (and enemies) ever since.
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
Celtdan Ok, for me personally, I would LOVE to face Curt Bombastic. Now that he's back, hopefully one day the opportunity will rise. As for a match I want to see, I'd love to see maybe the champions of DCWF, VWE and UHW square off in the ultimate non-title champion of champions triple threat match!
Now, that would be AWESOME!
tyress: that would be an epic match i am sure of!
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Celtdan: Well, I've probably seen nearly every DCWF match, ever. I suppose I would have to go with 1. Alpin vs. TEnzan - I Quit at WrestleFest I, 2. Ceri vs. Misaki at Backyard Brawl 2010, 3. Nanny vs. Horses at WrestleFest IV, 4. Vince vs. Mythil at WrestleFest III and 5. Women's Elimination Chamber at Blizzard 2011
Tyress: How long have you been in your current Fed?
Celtdan: Well, since it's technically the only fed I've ever been in, that's just over 4 years in DCWF. I was part of the first show, and I've never looked back at all really since.
I thought lasting 1 year was something my god
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well, in DCWF I've been World Champion, I was tag team champion with Ari Lane in MOrse Code, still the longest reigning champions too. It embarrasses me to say this, and I know people will laugh, but I held the old CCW/VWA Canadian National CHampionship for a couple of weeks back in 2008. Make sure I don't mention that again.
I've also won a few awards in DCWF, including my very own Celtdan McMahon Lifetime Achievement Award for Epic Failure and this year I won the Most Memorable Moment award for my part in the famous Duchess of Coventry match with Paula and Horses that I commentated.
if you're wondering about the lifetime achievement award, it's one of hte joke awards we give out or moments when we fuck up
I was just going to say that I won the lifetime achievement award for having my mic turned off while we had a huge brawl between OEW and DCWF wrestlers
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Celtdan: I suppose Drewski's my dream tag team partner, but I've had the opportunity to tag up with him before. I'll go out on a limb and say...Benja. I think we'd be an awesome tag team
I think we could do some crazy things together as a team
Big Cookies
Tyress: *laughs* interesting names and even more interesting tag team name
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 Mainevent?
Celtdan: : For the Main Event...I think I would have Alpin Criss and Brakman Wylder. Just thinking about that, that could be one hell of a match.
Tyress: Very interesting match idea
Tyress: who trained you?
Celtdan :I never actually had a trainer as such I had started off as a referee and learned the HUD from that it was easy enough to learn...Alpin Criss showed me how to use the HUD and it was natural from then on in those were the days
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Celtdan: I suppose my greatest moment was having the "UK Civil War" feud with Mike Freeman and Morpheus over the DCWF International title. It started off from the Elimination Chamber we did at Blizzard 2008, and I had some kick ass single matches with Morph and Mike, and eventually together in the first ever Ring Of Steel match and then the triple threat match for the title at WrestleFest. I loved working with those guys and they are still right up there with the best matches I've ever done.
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Celtdan: Well..I suppose I would have to thank Ivan Halfpint for allowing me to be part of SLCW when it started, Alpin Criss for developing the system, I know it's controversial, but Eric Stuart, I love the guy, and he gave me some great moments and allowed me to do some awesome things.
Right now I gotta thank Numbers Rossini for being an awesome boss and commentary partner, Scarlette and Drew for being awesome friends, and Ari Lane for being my ultimate enemy and best friend here in SL.
I should just mention that me and Scarlette are still, without a goddamn doubt the MOST Unbiased commentary team in ALL of professional wrestling
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Celtdan: EPW,SLCW/DCWF
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Celtdan: God...I think I'm inspired by some of the women in SL wrestling like Nanny, Horses, Vendetta and Misaki for the hard work and time they put into what they do. Some of the matches those four have been involved in have been amazing, and I think everyone in SL wrestling apppreciates the work that they do, not just for their own feds, but in the case of Nanny and Ven, for HAWX. HAWX is loved by just about everybody in SL wrestling, and is one of the cool things that has brought us all together a lot more recently. Big kudos to them.
Tyress: I cant but agree to that.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Celtdan: I gotta say, I think I'm most inspired by Mick Foley. Foley near damn killed himself 90% of the time he went out there. If you look at matches like Hell in a Cell in 1998 against the Undertaker and even the I Quit match against The Rock at Royal RUmble 1999, a match he actually done with his family watching at ringside, you gotta respect how much he's willing to put himself through just for the entertainment of the fans.
I don't think anybody else, even guys like Terry Funk, would put themselves through some of the shit Foley has in the past.
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Celtdan: My custom attire is black trunks with "cWo" on my ass, and some celtic designs on the front
Tyress: cWo?
Celtdan: Celt World Order Voodoo made me a t-shirt that said that on it.
it stuck lol
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in DCWF that you have been in?
Celtdan: Oooh. I think I would say 1. My retirement match against Ari Lane at WrestleFest II, 2. TLC match with me and Ari against Mike and Eric when they were Anarchy for the tag titles (I put Eric through two flaming tables, something a lot of people can only dream of doing :D), 3. Triple Threat match with Morph, Mike and I at WrestleFest I for the international title, 4. Ring of steel again with me, Mike and Morph and 5. Me vs. Drew at New Year's Bash this year
Tyress: as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Celtdan: I think stupid people cause most of these rumours. I wish we would get rid of the rumours, but in SL wrestling, the way it is, I'm afraid it's probably never going to happen. When people are stupid and spread rumours, it's often because they have a grudge against a fed or certain people in a fed, and it more often causes problems than fixes things.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Celtdan: I am biased, so No.1 DCWF for being the old head in SL wrestling and being awesome, No.2 VWE for being our rival and for putting on very entertaining shows with something different every week, and No.3 HAWX for putting on great shows and being something that brings SL wrestling together like nothing else ever has in my opinion
Tyress: YAY Rival....Wait...there is a Rival in my house!!!
Celtdan: I'M INN A RIVAL'S HOUSE! Traitors! :P
Ain nothin' wrong with a bit of competition
Tyress: Competition is what brings the best in the matches i think.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Celtdan: I love the idea of a "community" Back when me, Ranma, Okita and Ari launched the DWRT radio show, the idea was for it to bring SL wrestling together, and for a short time it did. Right up until the infamous appearance by Eric Stuart, which resulted in me leaving the show. My dream is for one day that most, if not all feds can work together, co-operate and help each other. While we should still be competitive, I don't think it would do any harm to help each other out and be supportive.
Tyress: If Celtdan were to pull out an object from under the ring what would it be and why?
Celtdan: It would be my trusty guitar. I started bringing out a guitar for no particular reason, probably because at the time I was a TNA "mark" and I liked Jeff Jarrett and got called a JJ mark for it, lol
It became my trademark.
Tyress: does Celtdan have any Favorite saying if so what is it?
Celtdan: I have a few. there's "That's Unbelieveable", or "We have Sex(Six) matches tonight", "BAH GAWD!
oh and of course "DON'T TOUCH MY TABLE!"
Tyress: what is your thoughts on about this Blog interviews?
Celtdan: I love them. It's another great way to bring the community together and to hear the thoughts of the different personalities we have in SL wrestling. Long live the blog! :)
Tyress: Yay for the blog! *coughs trying not to be bias* <.< >:>

Triple Threat match with Morph, Mike and I at WrestleFest I for the international title, 4. Ring of steel again with me, Mike and Morph and 5. Me vs. Drew at New Year's Bash this year
Tyress: as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Celtdan: I think stupid people cause most of these rumours. I wish we would get rid of the rumours, but in SL wrestling, the way it is, I'm afraid it's probably never going to happen. When people are stupid and spread rumours, it's often because they have a grudge against a fed or certain people in a fed, and it more often causes problems than fixes things.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Celtdan: I am biased, so No.1 DCWF for being the old head in SL wrestling and being awesome, No.2 VWE for being our rival and for putting on very entertaining shows with something different every week, and No.3 HAWX for putting on great shows and being something that brings SL wrestling together like nothing else ever has in my opinion
Tyress: YAY Rival....Wait...there is a Rival in my house!!!
Celtdan: I'M INN A RIVAL'S HOUSE! Traitors! :P
Ain nothin' wrong with a bit of competition
Tyress: Competition is what brings the best in the matches i think.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Celtdan: I love the idea of a "community" Back when me, Ranma, Okita and Ari launched the DWRT radio show, the idea was for it to bring SL wrestling together, and for a short time it did. Right up until the infamous appearance by Eric Stuart, which resulted in me leaving the show. My dream is for one day that most, if not all feds can work together, co-operate and help each other. While we should still be competitive, I don't think it would do any harm to help each other out and be supportive.
Tyress: If Celtdan were to pull out an object from under the ring what would it be and why?
Celtdan: It would be my trusty guitar. I started bringing out a guitar for no particular reason, probably because at the time I was a TNA "mark" and I liked Jeff Jarrett and got called a JJ mark for it, lol
It became my trademark.
Tyress: does Celtdan have any Favorite saying if so what is it?
Celtdan: I have a few. there's "That's Unbelieveable", or "We have Sex(Six) matches tonight", "BAH GAWD!
oh and of course "DON'T TOUCH MY TABLE!"
Tyress: what is your thoughts on about this Blog interviews?
Celtdan: I love them. It's another great way to bring the community together and to hear the thoughts of the different personalities we have in SL wrestling. Long live the blog! :)
Tyress: Yay for the blog! *coughs trying not to be bias* <.< >:>

Nova's Interview with Benja Nirvana
i wanted to thank Benja for his time it sure was fun interviewing him and i hope you all will enjoy reading the interview I am currently still open for more people to interview so hit me up! ;) you can also follow me on here or Facebook for easy access to the blog.. now enjoy!
Tyress: give us a small introduction about yourself
Benja: Yo. Names Benja Nirvana. Known as the Big Shot. Been in SL pro wrestling for about 2 years runnin now. I do what I do because I enjoy what I do. Mostly goofy person but I do it out of having fun in SL and around people. Im one hell of a dancer and will always love being me.
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Benja: Funny thing was I was originally gonna be named Benja Magnum. When I hit I hit as hard as a shot from a magnum handgun. Though the Big Shot came from my law background. When people asked me about my law school they would always ask, "You gonna be a Big Shot lawyer?" So thats where the name came from.
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Benja: *pets tao* Well I was rampant around message boards. I used to do alot of sim battle boards where I held many titles. I am a pretty good RPer (roleplayer for all you people asking what the hell that is). A buddy of mine was talking about their days in second life and I asked questions. Could I have a shotgun? Could I smoke cigars? Could I ride a motorcycle. The rest was history. I have been on SL for over 2 and a half years now and have enjoyed it ever since. *nuzzles tao*
Tyress: lol, interesting
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Benja: *pets tao* Well I was a strip club bouncer starting off in SL. A girl wanted me to bodyguard her while she went to parties. There I met a girl named Morgan. Morgan asked me what I wanted to do in SL. I told her that I wondered if there was wrestling in SL. She said she actually knew someone that did indeed wrestle in SL. His name was Curt Bombastic (cuddlemuffin! ^_^). I contacted Curt Cuddlemuffin and went from there to start at XWA which would later become VWE.
Tyress: Benja the Big gun?
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Benja: *scratches taos ears* Well I am a big guy. My avatars height pretty much represents what I am in real life. I am 6'7 in real life. I wanted to use my size to wrestle and get into wrestling. I love to entertain people. I thought why not use my body and size to entertain people along with my voice as well. I love to talk and be able to get my voice across. Many can claim that I do as well.
Tao: I want some meatbunz
Tyress: do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Benja: *nuzzles tao and scratches under her chin* My dream, is to hold that VWE World Heavyweight Championship. I was promised it many times only to have it taken away. You know some say its just a prim belt. I say its more than that. Its more a sense of accomplishment and its the company telling you, "Thank you for all your hard work, we appreciate what youve done and we wish to reward you with this." So its not just a prim belt to me, its something that I have been working for my whole SL wrestling career. *pets Tao*
Tao: I really want some meatbunz...
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Benja: *hands tao a coke and smiles* What makes me special is the fact that I can use my law skills along with being able to fast talk anyone. I am a really good negotiator and I can do anything with it all. I can fast talk, I can loophole, I can hustle people. I can do many things with that. But also the fact that I love to goof around and have a good time is something that I pride myself on and many people have taken notice of.
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Benja: *opens the coke for tao and nuzzles* Well I have whats called The Dead Mans Hand. Its a chokeslam that goes into a spinebuster. No one really gets up from that due to my size and being able to put them down. I use a superkick that I recently added that I like to call "Flip the Switch". I used to use the chokeslam as my finisher but I decided to evolve that into something more. I also have a muscle buster move that I call the Bombastic Buster in homage to the man who got me into this business, Curt "Cuddlemuffin" Bombastic.
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Benja: tickles tao* I have been in SL wrestling 2 years strong now. I started right after Wrestleseries 1 along with a certain NOVA as well.
Tyress: Yay!
Tyress: do you have any Dream Matches?
Benjitude:*nips taos ear* Do I ever! I want Tao here as my manager! She has gotten me through some bad situations. I also want to face my brotha from another motha Drewski Hoxley (spanky). I also want to face Acheron Nightfire becuase our match didnt hit off the way we planned. I also want to face Curt Cuddlemuffin in a Canadian Strap Tables match. Its time to show that guy that I WILL put him through the table and deal with my past issues. But in all honesty, I will face anyone who wants to face me, just let me know. Oh, I also want to face Vince Easterwood, The Gambler Ace Nightfire, James Hardy, Derrick Zane (oh the promos!), Wolf man kessel would be one I would want to do RIGHT THIS TIME! Pretty much around those.
Tyress: if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Benja: *plays with taos paws* To be honest, all are my favorites and ill tell you why. Everyone busts their ass to try to plan their matches and try to go out and entertain. So every match is something to watch because of the way they work and try to entertain the people. I cannot pick.
Tyress: How long have you been in your current Fed?
Benja: *mews with tao* I have been in XWA/VWE going on 2 years now. I havent jumped ship or switched any feds.
Tyress: what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Benja: *dangles a string and watches tao bat at it* I hold the record in VWE for most tag title reigns with 4. I have held the US title once, the Exhibition title once and I also put a boy through a flaming table. God Jenn was so proud of me at that moment!
I was also the first King of the Arena.
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Benja: *watches tao paint a picture* I always wanted to do the texas connection thing with my brotha man Drewski. I could team with Acheron, Adune Snowpaw (law and order), Tao, Vendetta, Nanny and others. As for a stable, well thats happening already with Big Money, it aint just gonna be me and Brak for long, trust me, we are growing.
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 Mainevent?
Benja: *keeps watching tao paint a picture* I would certianly book a 4 fed match. Dcwf, uhw, vwe and hawx fatal four way. Venners vs. Drewski vs. Benja Nirvana vs. Acheron Nightfire. WHO WILL WIN, TUNE IN TO FIND OUT! SAME BENJA TIME SAME BENJA CHANNEL!
Tyress: who trained you?
Benja: *smiles at the picture tao painted of her and him* Cute tao! Anyways, Derrick "Big Baby" Cult trained me. Hell of a trainer and a man with alot of patience. I owe most of my wrestling to that guy. I also had help along the way from alot of wrestlers, and for that I will always appreciate it.
Tyress: if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Benja: *give tao a chunk of meat and watches her nom* Thats about to happen. I was never really given a chance. I am given it now with that big elimination dome match at versus. Its time finally for me to shine and now im gonna take it. It was given to me so many times and then taken away so a guy could have fun with himself and his buddies. Now its time for all of us who were held down to have our chance, and you better bet your bottom dollar we are!
Tyress: is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Benja: *scratches taos ears again* I want to thank everyone whos ever been behind me. Without them I wouldnt be where I am today. Acheron, Wolf man, Cuddlemuffin, Brotha man, TAO, Maxine, Venners, Nanners, James Hardy, Vince Easterwood, Nap, Mad max, the struk brothers, TY TY, Vicious, B man, and most especially Jenn. That girl saw something in me and god knows what the hell she saw, but she protected me ever since I started. and Adune Snowpaw
Tyress: do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Benja: *cuddles tao* There are many who do, but all who lace up those boots and get in that ring gets my respect for doing so.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Benja: Same Answer as the other
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Benja: *pets tao* I always wear blue and black, those are my colors, and never forget the deck of cards on them either.
Tyress: can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in VWE?
Benja: *keeps petting tao* Alright if I have to. 1. The first king of the arena finals, Benja vs. Sam the Man 2. The scaffold match between Akasha and Vendetta 3. The buried alive match Acheron vs. Wolfy 4. Derrick Cult vs. Jenn Parkin 5. Elimination Royal 1st and 2nd
Tyress: as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Benja: *laughs as tao looks at him* Rumors always will make its rounds. Right now since theres a change in VWE we are hearing nothing but good rumors. Funny how that happened eh? We will roll with whatever comes our way and look forward to new partnerships and coming together.
Tyress: if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Benja: *wiggles tao and smiles* No order, but VWE, DCWF and HAWX. UHW is gettin there.
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Benja: *nuzzles tao again* We are now coming together with it. At first we wanted to seperate ourselves from it and what did it get us? People being released and them made out to be the bad guy, and we were number 1. Truth be told, we were the bad guys but it wanted to be overseen. Now we are coming together and things are getting better now, thank god, because seriously, that was gettin horrid.
Tyress: as we know you will be in VWE's first Elimination Dome Match at Versus how does it feel to not only go for the world heavyweight championship but also be one of the first in VWE to enter this match type?
Benja: *sighs as tao nuzzles him* Its finally my time to shine. I have been tossed around and overlooked for so long that I am finally gettin whats due to me. I am proud to be a part of it and I am lookin forward to stepping in there and showing the world what I can finally do. I am not a member of a family so it spelt doom for me earlier, but now that things are different, I can now finally say that I can shine.
Tyress: Any plans for what you will do if it turns out you walk out the chamber with the world title?
Benja: *pets tao* Victory laps around each arenas. People will celebrate and people will cheer. Thats all I could ever hope for. I certainly will be at shows and show up to them and not stay out 6 months.
Tyress: and what if you walk out without the title?
Benja: *frowns as tao nuzzles him* People will weep, but I will not give up, I have finally been given the chance and you know as well as anything ty sweety that I will not give up that chance to shine now!
Tyress: anything you'd like to say to the readers or your opponents?
Benja: *pets tao* All who read this, I hate Mr. Orange and Mr. Green! They screwed up our UNA game and I dont wanna see their faces ever again!

Nova's interview with Acheron Nightfire
I wanted to thank Acheron for his time and Maxine for being real great and a savior of logging. still wanting more people to interview so i dont run out! so if you're interested to be interviewed or read the interviews feel free to hit me up or Follow the blog or Facebook Tyress serevi . enjoy the interview ;)
Tyress: Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Acheron: Well, I'm Acheron Nightfire, I have been a wrestler for 3 and a half years. I'm a fairly quiet person or at least I used to be. lol
Tyress: IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Acheron: My Stage Name is "The Voodoo King" its a pretty interesting story. When I started wrestling, like most people I had no direction, no persona or gimmick, Then as I grew into my character I became "The Ragin' Cajun" Which lasted for a few months. It wasn't much but it was what I knew and could identify with. I had a few ideas of what i wanted to become, i had toyed around with the idea of a voodoo priest but didn’t really know how to bring it into existence. Then one day at a show at HKWF where I was wrestling at the time. They had a match cancellation, Shinja and I hadn't wrestled on that show and he asked me if I wanted to jump in the ring to fill the open slot. So we did. and in that match he spit fire into my face. For a few weeks after that I messed around with different looks and came back to the voodoo priest. So thanks to Shinja it kinda skyrocketed what would have otherwise probably been a lengthy transition from one gimmick to another.
Tyress: Interesting. :D
Tyress: I only knew the part of the shinja spitting fire.
Tyress: How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Acheron: I found Second Life through a friend of mine, we go way back, We've been through Ultima Online together then City of Villains, then when most of the other people we played with moved on to WOW, i kind of stopped playing for a while. He told me about Second Life, so i got on and gave it a shot.
Tyress: How did you get into SL wrestling?
Acheron: After a year or so of running a night club with my friend and DJing, his RL caught up with him and he couldn’t devote any time to SL, so I started looking for other things to do. I'd always wanted to be a wrestler when I was a kid, I've enjoyed wrestling almost all my life so I did a search for wrestling, and came across SLCW, I went there a few times but I never could make it to any of their shows. I went back to DJing at a few different clubs but I was beginning to get burned out with Djing. After a few months I looked into wrestling again, and saw a few different places had opened. I wandered into HKWF which was still building the SIM, I looked around thought it was looking pretty cool. went to their first show liked what i saw. so i put in an application.
Tyress: What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Acheron: Well as I said, I'd always wanted to be a wrestler when I was a kid, but different things prevented that from happening in RL. Since in SL anything is possible I was thrilled to see it was here and I could finally achieve my boyhood dream.
Tyress: :D
Tyress: Do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Acheron: If there was one thing I want to achieve in SL Wrestling is to bring fun back to it. Now that everyone and their grandmother owns a Wrestling fed, each with their own style and rules. Which is good, we need diversity, but with all the politics and drama there is, and all the hustle to make your particular fed stand out above all the rest, some people have lost sight of the fact that we do this because its fun, we do this because we love it. Sometimes you need to make sacrifices which makes it more like a job than a hobby and that’s where things start getting sticky. The politics and drama are less then they were a year ago, and i think that’s partially due to the fact that people are beginning to relax and remember we are here doing this because its fun and aren’t taking things as personally as they once did. We still have a ways to go before that dream is achieved but we have made significant strides in the last six months in a positive direction.
Tyress: What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Acheron: What makes my character special is its mysterious, intriguing, and people like to see the special effects. I won't say its unique, because there are no more original ideas, everything has been done by someone, somewhere. But what I did with "The Voodoo King is I took elements of different people I grew up watching and rolled them together and made it my own. I go the extra mile to make sure things look in the ring the way I envision them in my head, and I try to keep it unpredictable. That’s what keeps people coming back for more the need to see whats going to happen next, and just when they think they have it figured out you throw in a twist that would make even M Night Shamalan say WTF. Also, knowing where you are going before you start helps avoid the pitfalls of building something too much only to let the fans down at the end because it burned too bright too fast and the finale can no longer live up to the expectations that were set.
Tyress: what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Acheron: My Finishers are Legba's Curse which is a flip Pile Driver aka Canadian Destroyer, The Zombie Maker which is an inverted superplex where my opponent lands face down instead of on their back. and The Voodoo Drop, which is a Back to Belly Pile Driver, I can't tell you how it feels but I can tell you it doesn’t look like it feels very nice.
Maxine: REALLY not pretty.
Tyress: :P
Tyress: how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Acheron: About 3 and a half years.
Tyress: Do you have any Dream Matches?
Acheron: Several, actually. A few of them are people I never got to face in prior feds. Alpin Criss would be one, I was supposed to face him back in HKWF but never got the chance to do so. Benbe Kirax, Bryce Ketterly, Derrick Cult, Jenn Parkin I'd like to face or team up with Jenn in match. The Gavel, Drewski Hoxley, Ranma Yoshiro, and Benja Nirvana we had one match back in VWE that never got resolved due to technical problems, I'd like to one day finally see how that would have played out.
Maxine's note – The Match that ended in emotes!
Tyress: If you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Acheron: Jenn vs Loody at HKWF where she ran him over with an Ambulance, Myself vs TonydaTiger also in HKWF where I threw him off the stage and then into the back of the ambulance to win the match. Ranama vs Big Evil at Wrestlefest 4 and VWE Six Feet Under Casket Match between Myself and Wolfy Kessel, and the cage match vs Sheamus in uHw.
Tyress: How long have you been in your current Fed?
Acheron: About 6 months as uHw if you count uWs as part of that then about a year.
Tyress: What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Acheron: HKWF World Heavyweight Champion, 2x VWE Extreme Champion, 1x VWE Tag Team Champion and 1x uHw United Universal Champion
Tyress: do you have a Dream Tag team PArtner/Stable members?
Acheron: like i said before Jenn would be a tag partner. The stable I am in currently The Night Terrors with Maxine and Wolfy, maybe adding someone else to that mix somewhere down the line just not sure who
Tyress writes in her notepad be less nice to Unkie Acheron
Tyress: :x
Acheron: I already got to team with my favorite niece :p
Tyress: Oh yeah.
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?
Acheron: I would like to see a Triple Threat Match between Maxine, Jenn and Kitty (Katheryn Blackadder).
Tyress: If you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Acheron: The Top moment of my career was the day I was accepted as wreslter in HKWF, without that one moment none of the rest of this would really have happened.
Tyress: Is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Acheron: Louve McMahon, for giving me a chance and beleiving in me. Jenn Parkin for being a someone I could talk to when i had an idea and needed more input to see if it would fly. Shinja for making me what I am today through a lot of grueling matches and giving me some very sage advice when i first steped into the SL ring. Maxine for allowing me to use her as a catalyst to propel my gimmick to new heights by becoming The Zombie, and all my friends and Family who keep me grounded and believing in myself.
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Acheron: HKWF, VWE, UWS/UHW
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Acheron: Maxine, she's always got the answers to my questions, she helps me look at things from more than one perspective, and she gives 110% to making sure things get done when no one else can be there to do it.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Acheron: RL wrestling I'd have to say The Undertaker, he's a big part of the inspiration behind The Voodoo King Persona. And all of the stories I hear about him from people that are in the business RL say he's a real down to earth guy as well as a leader in the locker room.
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Acheron: Mostly all black, when I'm working face, its mostly all white.
OWNER QUESTIONS
Tyress: Has there been any regrets in your decisions?
Acheron: In the decisions I have made? Not one regret. I try to obtain as much information before jumping to any conclusions. So I am confident that when I do make a decision its the right decision
Tyress: Can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in your Federation?
Acheron: Curt Bombastic vs Derrick Zane, Myself vs Ryan Fury, Savannah Mohegan vs Lee Quirina to crown the 1st uHw Women's Champion, Honey Bluntz vs Alexa in the falls count anywhere match. and Wolfy Kessel vs James Hardy
Tyress: Can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Acheron: Shinja vs Myself, Seth Cameron vs Loody Graves, Jenn Parkin vs Kim Soulstar, Sam the Man vs Brakman Wylder, Tyress vs Jenn Parkin
Tyress: Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Acheron: One more time, Shinja vs Acheron in a three stages of Hell Match.
Tyress: Has it been easy being the co-owner of the federation?
Acheron: Yes and No, There are times when I know exactly what needs to be done and do it without a problem, then there are times when I just want to grab someone by the hair and bash their face against the wall. People with their petty drama having a hissy fit over minor details without looking at the bigger picture.
Tyress: As we know there’s a lot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Acheron: It all boils down to attention, some people can't wrap their head around the concept of working in the ring, which leads to them being underutilized if at all, so they start feeling resentment and start spreading rumors to keep themselves relevant but they don’t realize that most of the time the only person they are hurting is themselves.
Tyress: Is there any certain Federation you would love to work UHW?
Acheron: I'd love to see some cross branding between DCWF and uHw as well as VWE and uHw.
Tyress: If you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Acheron: uHw - Storylines, DCWF - Match variety and quality, VWE - Production Value
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Acheron: It is slowly coming together the huge gaps that once existed are starting to be bridged, its making positive traction toward working together. I hope that it continues to progress.

Nova's interview with Vince Easterwood
want to say thanks to Vince for taking his time for this interview i enjoyed it very much :) if you want to be interviewed hit me up and i'll add you to the list! enjoy the reading!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Vince: I am Vince Easterwood, and I am the general manager of DCWF's Wednesday night Warzone.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Vince: Mine actually came very early, and really to no surprise, either. My nickname is "The Churchboy", and it came about when Eric and I were looking at entrance videos for me. He found one of the songs I knew very well, and everything just fit right into place from there.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Vince: I really didn't have much to do when I came across something about it just by chance on the internet. I didn't know what to really expect, but seemed like something I might be interested in at the time.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Vince: That I remember vividly. Shortly after I started in SL, I happened to look for certain interests I had developed at the time, and one was in wrestling. When I found then SLCW, I immediately noticed the welcoming atmosphere around there, so I started coming more often as a fan before joining shortly afterwards.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Vince: Well, two things really. The wrestlers at the time were very welcoming towards me, and it was a lot better than anywhere else I was around at the time.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Vince: As of now, no. I've already gotten to do everything I could ever wish and hope I'd be able to do.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Vince: At the time, mine was unique in the nature of the character. However, even compared to those that have tried similar ideas, I don't play favorites and don't put down anyone unless they really bring it on themselves. Even as a fan, I just watch without any expression of bias to anyone, face or heel, except for the extreme exceptions.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Vince: My main two are the Crucifix Armbar, which is more or less the armbar takedown, and the "Bear the Cross", which right now is meant to be a gory special setup into the backslide pin.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Vince: Just over 3 years as of Thanksgiving
do you have any Dream Matches?
Vince: For the future, no. From my past, there are two that ultimately were fulfilled dream matches. My "retirement" match vs Misaki Yumako and my match against Maxine Endrizzi during her time as the Zombie both were matches I wanted to do.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Vince: This one is going to be hard, especially since so many do well. No particular order, that would have to include VWE's Vendetta vs Akasha Faulkes scaffold match, me vs Tenzan in the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match, and Drew vs Mike at Backyard Brawl. The last two aren't as easy to pick.
Gosh ... Ok, VWE's Night Terrors vs JHG stands out, and I believe HAWX's Ven vs Lilith, when the aftermath of the match ended up burning the building when they were about to move.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Vince:over 3 years now
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Vince: Where do I start there? First ever Inferno match, which became OMG/WTF moment of the year for 2010, held the World Heavyweight title twice, first time being the second shortest title reign at 5 minutes (giggle), International title once, Gimmick of the year in 2011 for the heel change I did during MHP, DCWF's Hall of Fame in 2011, and promoted to GM Warzone after my last full-time match this past August.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Vince: I've always been kind of a loner myself, and there's really no one I could see as a tag team partner that would fit long-term.
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 Mainevent?
Vince: I would probably put you Ty, Ven, Misaki, and Nanny in a fatal four-way match.
who trained you?
Vince: Despite her illness, Kat was my trainer.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
VInce: My top moment has to be the entire main event at DCWF's "April Fools, Hardcore Rules" PPV in 2010. It started out with the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match between me vs Tenzan for the World Heavyweight title, and what made that moment special was just seeing the reactions from the fans between the end of that match to BigEvil coming down with a contract to grab the title away from me.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Vince: There are a few I have to thank. First is Kat for training me on the system and giving me the basics. As much as most don't like him, second is Eric, since he helped me with the gimmick. Last one has to be Numbers for helping keep DCWF alive and thriving to what it is today.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Vince: I've only been in SLCW, which is now known as DCWF.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
VInce: There isn't anyone that really inspires me. I learn bits and pieces from everyone I watch and work with.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Vince: Contrary to most, I don't follow RL wrestling much at all, so no.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors? if not what is it based on?
Vince: The main color on my attire is white, but the symbolism on it is really what stands out.
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Vince: Hmm ... again, really no particular order here, but me vs Tenzan, Ven vs Akasha, you Ty vs Rubie recently, MHP vs DCWF, and BigEvil vs Eric
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
VInce: There's a few, but one that really stands out is a hardcore scramble match with MadMax, "Mad"Mike Freeman, Jenn, and Vendetta.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
VInce: The rumors we know about are usually caused by one of two things. First is when someone only presents half of the situation without knowing everything that's surrounding what happened. The second, which likely creates the first, is when someone misinterprets or more likely misconstrues what is done and said to make it better for themselves, falsifying some of the information in the process.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
VInce: Personally, I see it in two ways. At the core, the community as a whole is more or less a common interest group. Doesn't matter who we are or what fed we're a part of, we all have that interest in common. If everyone would see that core first, I could easily see the feds starting to really come together peacefully, unlike what had happened in the past. However, going out from there, I see where, even if the different feds don't always agree on how things should be run, where each fed focuses on allows for people coming into the community to see what style best suits them.
you said your nickname in the ring is the Church boy is that something to do with RL or just something that came up?
VInce: Interesting you ask that. Yes, it is largely based on RL. It's really more an extension of who I am.
If VInce Easterwood would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be and why?
Vince: As much as the character isn't hardcore, since he'd never want to seriously hurt anyone, he'd probably go with glove-covered brass knuckles, and only as a defensive act.

give us a small introduction about yourself
Vince: I am Vince Easterwood, and I am the general manager of DCWF's Wednesday night Warzone.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Vince: Mine actually came very early, and really to no surprise, either. My nickname is "The Churchboy", and it came about when Eric and I were looking at entrance videos for me. He found one of the songs I knew very well, and everything just fit right into place from there.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Vince: I really didn't have much to do when I came across something about it just by chance on the internet. I didn't know what to really expect, but seemed like something I might be interested in at the time.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Vince: That I remember vividly. Shortly after I started in SL, I happened to look for certain interests I had developed at the time, and one was in wrestling. When I found then SLCW, I immediately noticed the welcoming atmosphere around there, so I started coming more often as a fan before joining shortly afterwards.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Vince: Well, two things really. The wrestlers at the time were very welcoming towards me, and it was a lot better than anywhere else I was around at the time.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Vince: As of now, no. I've already gotten to do everything I could ever wish and hope I'd be able to do.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Vince: At the time, mine was unique in the nature of the character. However, even compared to those that have tried similar ideas, I don't play favorites and don't put down anyone unless they really bring it on themselves. Even as a fan, I just watch without any expression of bias to anyone, face or heel, except for the extreme exceptions.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Vince: My main two are the Crucifix Armbar, which is more or less the armbar takedown, and the "Bear the Cross", which right now is meant to be a gory special setup into the backslide pin.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Vince: Just over 3 years as of Thanksgiving
do you have any Dream Matches?
Vince: For the future, no. From my past, there are two that ultimately were fulfilled dream matches. My "retirement" match vs Misaki Yumako and my match against Maxine Endrizzi during her time as the Zombie both were matches I wanted to do.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Vince: This one is going to be hard, especially since so many do well. No particular order, that would have to include VWE's Vendetta vs Akasha Faulkes scaffold match, me vs Tenzan in the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match, and Drew vs Mike at Backyard Brawl. The last two aren't as easy to pick.
Gosh ... Ok, VWE's Night Terrors vs JHG stands out, and I believe HAWX's Ven vs Lilith, when the aftermath of the match ended up burning the building when they were about to move.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Vince:over 3 years now
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Vince: Where do I start there? First ever Inferno match, which became OMG/WTF moment of the year for 2010, held the World Heavyweight title twice, first time being the second shortest title reign at 5 minutes (giggle), International title once, Gimmick of the year in 2011 for the heel change I did during MHP, DCWF's Hall of Fame in 2011, and promoted to GM Warzone after my last full-time match this past August.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Vince: I've always been kind of a loner myself, and there's really no one I could see as a tag team partner that would fit long-term.
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 Mainevent?
Vince: I would probably put you Ty, Ven, Misaki, and Nanny in a fatal four-way match.
who trained you?
Vince: Despite her illness, Kat was my trainer.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?

Nova's interview with Brakman
give us a small introduction about yourself
Brakman: Helloooooo. My name is Brakman Wylder and I am in the VWE. I'm married to my best friend Cyrece, and I guess I'm pretty normal......maybe. People know me by the beard.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Brakman: People associate me with the beard. Its something that I got early in my career when I was looking for a way to stand out from the crowd. I'm also known by BMW to some.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Brakman: I was actually watching TV one day and saw it on True Life. I forgot about it after that, but I must have seen an ad on another website that lead me here. I decided it might be fun, so I joined. Back then, I almost left Second Life because I was having major lag issues. A few weeks later I came back and got used to the lag I had and days turned into months, years now.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Brakman: I've been a wrestling fan in real life most of my life. Eventually, I typed wrestling in search and found a few places. I visited some of them and eventually found RAGE. At RAGE they did MMA and were just starting their wrestling promotion. I liked the people, and encountered a few other wrestlers who would become my friends down the line. Once I got the HUD I decided to try it out, never expecting that this would turn into something I do every week. The matches just kept coming, leading to me wanting to have more and wanting to get better so I could entertain more people.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Brakman: I love to entertain people and I love wrestling. When I had my first match, the feeling was indescribable. Going out there and getting people to cheer or boo (They were boo'ing me at the time) was such a rush. The people I met also kept me around and encouraged me to keep going.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Brakman: Thats a tough one haha. I've done alot in my career, and I think I've accomplished everything I've wanted to do. I guess there are a few things like getting an Xtreme Title, having another career defining promo (when I went face). It would be amazing to get Match of the Year at some point. In the end, Its all about bringing people up, bringing in the next group of performers and making sure they're set.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Brakman: I know what I try to convey, I'm not sure if it's why people actually like me lol. I try to be honest with the fans, not be such a character or act like some guy who loves to constantly shout about how great he is. Despite the gimmick, I'm just like everyone else, working to get where I want. If that isnt what makes it special to the fans, I have no clue lol. I've always said I'm extremely lucky to have gotten as far as I have, so hopefully I'm doing something right.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Brakman: Brak-driver- It's a modified piledriver. I also have a sleeper hold thats called the Brak-Lock. I'm not very creative with names lol. I used to use the shooting star press as a finisher, a few people named that one different things but nothing ever fully stuck.
I think one of those names for the shooting star press was the Black Diamond lol
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Brakman: I've been in SL wrestling for about 2 years and 6 months. My first match was actually in October of 2009, but I was training for months before that.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Brakman: Any match with Shinja turns into a dream match. We had a great triple threat match a while back. I would try to have something similar, maybe Brak VS Shinja VS Kayden. Make it a ladder match! The upcoming Elimination Dome is somewhat of a dream match for me too, the people in it are great, and its in the dome. I'm not usually one for stipulation matches, but that ladder match would be epic with the elements each of us would throw in.
and another one.
I would love for me and Cyrece to have a mixed tag match at some point. She knows how to wrestle and it would be so much fun to do that with her. Coming up with tag team moves, and working together
who would you want to face against you and Cyrece?
Brakman Thats a good question! I'm guessing it would be us VS the forces of heelish badguy-ness lol. As far as specifics, I'm not sure, I would just be happy to team with her!
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Brakman: The 4-way Bombshell Match at WrestleSeries 1 would definitely be on that list. I loved Me VS Shinja VS Wolfy. My ladder match with Alexius was one of my favorites to wrestle. Adune VS MadMax was amazing and the 5th one.....hmmmm......The TLC match at WrestleSeries III comes to mind :) My favorite to wrestle might have been Me VS Ben at WrestlerSeries III. The emotion in the air that night was perfect. It was exactly how WrestleSeries should feel. Unfortunately I dont get the chance to catch very may other feds shows, but I would loved to catch a Drewski match sometime. I know I'm forgetting a few and I'll be kicking myself after when I remember lol.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Brakman: About 2 years, 3 months
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Brakman: First Ever Grand Slam Champion in VWE. 2 Time World Champion. I won Superstar of the Year last year and Face of the Year. First person to Main Event 2 WrestleSeries'. Most of all, I met my wife Cyrece through SL wrestling. She started as a friend and we were like that for a long time before we finally realized how much we cared for each other. Thats really something thats going to last longer than any title run.
do you have a Dream Tag team PArtner/Stable members?
Brakman: For tag, Cyrece. For stable, maybe Big Money meets The Cowboy Drewski. Maybe get a Brak, Shinja, MadMax, Jenn Stable going. I would stick out like a sore thumb, but it would be fun as hell.
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 Mainevent?
Brakman: THATS a tough one!
Xtreme Rules Match, Shinja VS MadMax VS Jennf VS Adune
who trained you?
Brakman: Paula Wilcox trained me when I started. I'd want her in the stable too!
Tyress: oh really? thats interesting
Brakman: Yeah, back before I had a beard, and I had newb hair. She's a good teacher.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Carrer to now can you tell us about that and why?
Brakman: A few come to mind. It's a toss up between the surprise of getting on voice for the first time and firing my manager Jessica Hykova. I was so nervous. I had the microphone for weeks, and only 2 people knew I did so it was fun to get that pop out of people hearing me for the first time. Another one, was BeachBrawl 2010. I won the World Heavyweight Title for the first time there, and me and Cy had started dating a little while before that. It was great to be able to have those 2 things going for me in such a short time. Finally, WrestleSeries III. After a year and 3 months of not having the title, everything was finally set. So it was the feeling of finally getting what was due. I drew inspiration from everything I has learned at that point. The Eddie Guerrero armband, the gold and white tights from WrestlerSeries II gave me the sense of redemption, fixing what went wrong there. Having my friend Vicious ringside. Cyrece staying up late to watch it, which I am so grateful for. It was like everything lead to tha t 1 match. The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Brakman: Paula for training me, Vicious and Morgan for cheering me, Jessica for making sure I didnt look like a noob lol The people I have matches with, for letting me do what I enjoy and the people who come to the shows to see it. Most of all, my wife Cyrece, for keeping me sane in the crazy SL world, and being the best best friend anyone could have.
Also
Jenn for sharing her wisdom. Kimberly Soulstar for supporting me when I was near the bottom, and again, Cyrece for being a part of this crazy SL wrestling world with me.
Theres really alot of people I should thank
The list goes on and on.
I've always said
I'm just a quiet guy with a beard
and
I'm I'm truly lucky to be where I am. I got there with the help of friends, people who believed in me when the time came
straight up luck
So the best way to thank them
is to give people a helping hand, just as they did me.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Brakman: First I was in the RAGE Wrestling promotion, then I joined XWA which turned into VWE.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Brakman: Shinja and Jenn, for how innovative they are, and how long they've been around. Paula for her selflessness. Adune for his pure in ring ability. That ability is something that you dont see in very many wrestlers. Benja for his comedy, he's able to make anything easier to handle with a few words. The guys and girls coming up, its tough to get far in wrestling, and there they are, every week doing their matches, constantly trying to entertain. Its inspiring to see people stick with it and work their way up.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Brakman: Chris Jericho for his in-ring ability and how much he's able to pull off different character changes, HBK (The first match I ever saw was one of his), Eddie Guerrero because he was so entertaining and seemed like he'd be a good friend to have.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Brakman: My color scheme is Green and Black.
If Brakman would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be?
Brakman:a Ladder
FED OWNERS questions:
has there been any regrets in your decisions so far?
Brakman: No regrets at all.
Every Decision
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
Brakman: Bombshell Match at WS 1. TLC Match at WS III. Max VS Adune. Me VS Kayden. Derrick VS Tony WS III
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Brakman: Derrick and Tony, Akasha and Vendetta, Me and Alexius, any of Elisa's feuds, any of Acheron's feuds
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Brakman: Inferno Match between Shinja and Madmax would be epic.
has it been easy being the co-owner of a federation?
Brakman: Definitely not easy lol. Theres alot of decisions, and arranging. It's worth it though, you get to make people happy and make sure things stay on track so people enjoy the show.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Brakman: I think people are bored. Some people try to drag others down because they have egos and want to act big and bad in SL to try to impose their will. People talk, they shouldn't, but it seems like people in SL hear something, and assume it to be true without actually going in to find out.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Brakman:VWE because of how much we've evolved, DCWF for how long they've been around and their staying power, and OEW for the different way they went about becoming a fed.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Brakman: I think its interesting. Some people cause problems, but thats how the world is. Alot of people have said it before me, theres alot of drama. I wish everyone would focus on their feds, and not assume, question, or denounce other feds for the way they do things. But asking for that is like asking for the same thing in real life. Rule #1 for me is basically what we were all taught as children, do unto others as you would like done unto you. But people dont seem to grasp that alot of the time. Do things the right way and things work out, do them the selfish, or underhanded way and you sink like a stone. It has improved lately though, I'm seeing feds actually hang around each other more recently which is a start.
Bottom line: Be nice :D

Again I want to thank everyone for supporting me. For the amazing matches, Alexius, Shinja, Kayden, Derrick, Tony and everyone else I've faced. Thank you to the guys and girls who are loyal, who are on the bottom working their way up, losing matches for the benefit of others, its truly appreciated and it doesnt go unnoticed. Thank you for the fans who have stuck with us, and the new ones who are just getting into it. Thank you to those few close people to me in SL who really help me more than they know. Thank you to Cyrece for helping VWE as much as she has, and for helping me even more, and finally, thank you, anyone who took the time to read these crazy ramblings of a crazy beard from Texas.

Brakman Thats a good question! I'm guessing it would be us VS the forces of heelish badguy-ness lol. As far as specifics, I'm not sure, I would just be happy to team with her!
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Brakman: The 4-way Bombshell Match at WrestleSeries 1 would definitely be on that list. I loved Me VS Shinja VS Wolfy. My ladder match with Alexius was one of my favorites to wrestle. Adune VS MadMax was amazing and the 5th one.....hmmmm......The TLC match at WrestleSeries III comes to mind :) My favorite to wrestle might have been Me VS Ben at WrestlerSeries III. The emotion in the air that night was perfect. It was exactly how WrestleSeries should feel. Unfortunately I dont get the chance to catch very may other feds shows, but I would loved to catch a Drewski match sometime. I know I'm forgetting a few and I'll be kicking myself after when I remember lol.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Brakman: About 2 years, 3 months
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Brakman: First Ever Grand Slam Champion in VWE. 2 Time World Champion. I won Superstar of the Year last year and Face of the Year. First person to Main Event 2 WrestleSeries'. Most of all, I met my wife Cyrece through SL wrestling. She started as a friend and we were like that for a long time before we finally realized how much we cared for each other. Thats really something thats going to last longer than any title run.
do you have a Dream Tag team PArtner/Stable members?
Brakman: For tag, Cyrece. For stable, maybe Big Money meets The Cowboy Drewski. Maybe get a Brak, Shinja, MadMax, Jenn Stable going. I would stick out like a sore thumb, but it would be fun as hell.
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 Mainevent?
Brakman: THATS a tough one!
Xtreme Rules Match, Shinja VS MadMax VS Jennf VS Adune
who trained you?
Brakman: Paula Wilcox trained me when I started. I'd want her in the stable too!
Tyress: oh really? thats interesting
Brakman: Yeah, back before I had a beard, and I had newb hair. She's a good teacher.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Carrer to now can you tell us about that and why?
Brakman: A few come to mind. It's a toss up between the surprise of getting on voice for the first time and firing my manager Jessica Hykova. I was so nervous. I had the microphone for weeks, and only 2 people knew I did so it was fun to get that pop out of people hearing me for the first time. Another one, was BeachBrawl 2010. I won the World Heavyweight Title for the first time there, and me and Cy had started dating a little while before that. It was great to be able to have those 2 things going for me in such a short time. Finally, WrestleSeries III. After a year and 3 months of not having the title, everything was finally set. So it was the feeling of finally getting what was due. I drew inspiration from everything I has learned at that point. The Eddie Guerrero armband, the gold and white tights from WrestlerSeries II gave me the sense of redemption, fixing what went wrong there. Having my friend Vicious ringside. Cyrece staying up late to watch it, which I am so grateful for. It was like everything lead to tha t 1 match. The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Brakman: Paula for training me, Vicious and Morgan for cheering me, Jessica for making sure I didnt look like a noob lol The people I have matches with, for letting me do what I enjoy and the people who come to the shows to see it. Most of all, my wife Cyrece, for keeping me sane in the crazy SL world, and being the best best friend anyone could have.
Also
Jenn for sharing her wisdom. Kimberly Soulstar for supporting me when I was near the bottom, and again, Cyrece for being a part of this crazy SL wrestling world with me.
Theres really alot of people I should thank
The list goes on and on.
I've always said
I'm just a quiet guy with a beard
and
I'm I'm truly lucky to be where I am. I got there with the help of friends, people who believed in me when the time came
straight up luck
So the best way to thank them
is to give people a helping hand, just as they did me.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Brakman: First I was in the RAGE Wrestling promotion, then I joined XWA which turned into VWE.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Brakman: Shinja and Jenn, for how innovative they are, and how long they've been around. Paula for her selflessness. Adune for his pure in ring ability. That ability is something that you dont see in very many wrestlers. Benja for his comedy, he's able to make anything easier to handle with a few words. The guys and girls coming up, its tough to get far in wrestling, and there they are, every week doing their matches, constantly trying to entertain. Its inspiring to see people stick with it and work their way up.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Brakman: Chris Jericho for his in-ring ability and how much he's able to pull off different character changes, HBK (The first match I ever saw was one of his), Eddie Guerrero because he was so entertaining and seemed like he'd be a good friend to have.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Brakman: My color scheme is Green and Black.
If Brakman would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be?
Brakman:a Ladder
FED OWNERS questions:
has there been any regrets in your decisions so far?
Brakman: No regrets at all.
Every Decision
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
Brakman: Bombshell Match at WS 1. TLC Match at WS III. Max VS Adune. Me VS Kayden. Derrick VS Tony WS III
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Brakman: Derrick and Tony, Akasha and Vendetta, Me and Alexius, any of Elisa's feuds, any of Acheron's feuds
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Brakman: Inferno Match between Shinja and Madmax would be epic.
has it been easy being the co-owner of a federation?
Brakman: Definitely not easy lol. Theres alot of decisions, and arranging. It's worth it though, you get to make people happy and make sure things stay on track so people enjoy the show.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Brakman: I think people are bored. Some people try to drag others down because they have egos and want to act big and bad in SL to try to impose their will. People talk, they shouldn't, but it seems like people in SL hear something, and assume it to be true without actually going in to find out.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Brakman:VWE because of how much we've evolved, DCWF for how long they've been around and their staying power, and OEW for the different way they went about becoming a fed.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Brakman: I think its interesting. Some people cause problems, but thats how the world is. Alot of people have said it before me, theres alot of drama. I wish everyone would focus on their feds, and not assume, question, or denounce other feds for the way they do things. But asking for that is like asking for the same thing in real life. Rule #1 for me is basically what we were all taught as children, do unto others as you would like done unto you. But people dont seem to grasp that alot of the time. Do things the right way and things work out, do them the selfish, or underhanded way and you sink like a stone. It has improved lately though, I'm seeing feds actually hang around each other more recently which is a start.
Bottom line: Be nice :D

Again I want to thank everyone for supporting me. For the amazing matches, Alexius, Shinja, Kayden, Derrick, Tony and everyone else I've faced. Thank you to the guys and girls who are loyal, who are on the bottom working their way up, losing matches for the benefit of others, its truly appreciated and it doesnt go unnoticed. Thank you for the fans who have stuck with us, and the new ones who are just getting into it. Thank you to those few close people to me in SL who really help me more than they know. Thank you to Cyrece for helping VWE as much as she has, and for helping me even more, and finally, thank you, anyone who took the time to read these crazy ramblings of a crazy beard from Texas.
