I'd like to thank Andrea to make this interview since Andrea is mostly around HAWX i decided to make an all HAWX Edition with their big show coming up so i hope you'll enjoy until next interview!
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
my name is Andrea Fawcett , Ive been in SL since 2005 , I'm 5ft 0 120 lbs, Ive done everything from scifi rps, D/s, and other various Rps.. i also build,script and do textures
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
yes the great inazuma..which means the great lightning in Japanese... it was part of my original concept is wanted something that reflected my style fast strong attacks

i was playing a city of heroes at the time and our guild leader told us about SL... i actually became the second in charge of our area and to this day part of that group still exists
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
ironically i was getting some profile pics taken..and Pammy McMahon was in the next booth getting a shoot done for her as well..i read her profile after staring at her boob for about 5 minutes wondering if they were going to explode... an that's when i notice about the SL wrestling and spoke to her about it...i went to VWE the next day and was hooked instantly
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
i have always loved wrestling and the story lines... and always wanted to in real life but never had the build for it
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
applied to VWE in October of 2010
What federations have you been in?
VWE and HAWX officially, with guest appearances at xlw Uhw amd Dcwf

well for Andrea she has been the VWE bombshell Champion, as well as the Hawx tag team champion.. behind the scenes i have helped build pieces of the VWE arena, HAwx and UHW pyros, as well as now the OOC GM for HAWX
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
For Me as Andrea... that's hard to say ... its a toss up between the VWE Belt, and my getting the GM position at HAwx... because both are signs of respect and confirmation of the hard work that i have put into my career
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
its hard to say..because with tag teams the chemistry between each is so unique to that relationship and each person ive met would have a different dynamic... their are a few i would very much consider sadly some are semi or fully retired.... nanny gothly, Misaki Yumako, but also some of the new ones like jinyung kim, or stacy Grace i could also see being partnered with as well
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
i still would love to get one of the Top titles for female from a fed eventually :) but I'm still working on earning it :)

If you could play booker for one day and could pick any wrestler male or female, who would you pick for the Main Event?

ven vs sierra..where she boiled the bunny

nanny and ven most definitely, wildfire morgwaine, tyress and Jenn, Lilandra lancaster, maxine , benja nirvana and his sister betty..and a list i can believe
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
that's the irony..most times... its my trainees, seeing their new ideas,and things they want to try .seeing the eager hopefullness of when are they going to have their first match... because even though we never age in Sl ... its hard sometimes for us to keep going on continuously and we have to look to our new recruits to carry on the heritage and the thigns that we have learned
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
most recently was Evan bourne, i loved his wrestling style with the fast pace and high moves...as far as really presenting a gimmick well (not necessarily a good one mind you ) was zack ryder... hes played the role well

Hawx, VWe, and UHW
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
for the most part it has changed for the better over the last 2 years..seem closer tighter night .... it seemed like when i started all the feds were so isolated..but in time have seen more support and camaraderie between the feds
As we know, there's a lot of rumors in SL wrestling. Some are good, some are bad. What do you think causes these rumors?
lack of acceptance, bigotry , and jealousy .. and a desire to care more about yourself than the opponent across from you or the show as a whole

now there will be pretty much costume matches where the wrestlers becomes who they are dressing out if i am correct... which Match are you looking forward to?

A: i believe the winners of each match will be in a costume contest at the end and i am hearing there is a special prize thats going to be awarded..though Even i dont know what that is
and since i know there are some goofballs in the SL wrestling community i just have to ask this will there be Pie,cookies,cokes,candy or anything like that?
A: certainly.. we may even open the buffet to the general public!
now there is no doubt that most likely the match everyone is coming to see is the Traditional Skeletal Scaffold Match now. is there anything new with this match or is it the same style and rules if so can you let the readers know about the match?
A: certainly..as one of the contestants im looking forward to it..begin that both honey and i are flyers and very fast paced,its going into be a very high energy match this time, i fully expect to be in the air as much as i am on the mat or scaffold with this one...
is there anything else you'd like to say about the Big Show?
A: yes... never forget with hawx shows anything could end up coming as a surprise not only to the fans..but he staff as well

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

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

9: top 3 gimmicks
A: Marionetta, Acheron, and the new CrazyNirvana
10: top heel of SL wrestling
A: You would think I would say me.. but no.. Bryce Ketterly has that market..
Kings and Queens - these are not necessarily the current title holders, but who do you think are the best in their division?
King & Queen of VWE
A: Benja and (Don't shoot me) Lily Martinez
King & Queen of DCWF
A: Drewski and Tara
Princess & Queen of HAWX
A: Princess would be Maxine. Queen would have to be Arcana, now that she's back
King & Queen of uHw
A: h that's not fair.. Umm.. Honey Bluntz and... umm... ummm... well, it would have been Acheron, but he's gone now.. umm... Yancy Low.. Love his new Gimmick
Prediction time! I will list the matches on the upcoming Elimination Royale card, please state what your predictions are for each match.
Match 1: VWE Women's championship Christina defends her title against Lily Martines and Nanny Gothly - Nanny has been on a roll lately after beating her now stable partner Marionetta even interfering to help Maxine out to beat Lily Martines However Lily has been on a roll as well until this Primetime, Nanny is a former VWE Women's Champion while Lily was the first one to beat the Last Women's and undefeated Tyress, Christina tends to try to steal the matches but we haven't seen much of her as of late. who will win and why?
A: Lily is Hungry.. VERY Hungry. She's made it known multiple times. But when you look at the other side of the coin, Nanny has JHG in her corner.. I don't think it bodes well for Christina in the long run. I would have to give it to Nanny, with JHG being the wildcard in this one.. None of the other two really have anyone in their corner with them.
Match 2: VWE World Heavyweight Championship 30 minute Iron match Derrick Cult Defends the title against Benja nirvana, Derrick won the title off of Benja from cheating when Rubie jules sprayed Benja in the eyes and blinded him. Derrick has been on a good roll and is a former World heavyweight champion,Former United states Champion and Tag Team Champion, Benja has been on a roll when he held the title but gold is no new thing for him. Benja is a former World champion, multiple Tag team Champion,U.S champion. both are big and powerful guys who is standing last will most likely be the winner. who wins and why?
A: As much as I want the Bigshot Trucker Lawyer to come out on top in this one, I have my doubts. Rubie aside (even though I know she will have some part in the match, based on previous reputations) Derrick also has His other partner from Bad Intentions, Jackson Doune on his side as well. And we all know that they love to fight dirty. I don't think by far it will be a cakewalk, as this new side of Benja we've been seeing as of late is intense.. but I just don't know that he has the ability to hold off three, in what will most certainly, and quickly, turn into a 3-1 Handicap
Main event - Elimination Royale 30 Men/women competes in an over the top rope match who do you think will win and why note we already know who is the lucky Number 30 Shinja!
A: Statistically speaking, and I've been talking to a few about past Royales.. Oddly enough, the earlier entries have had the better luck (as odd as that seems) Shinja is an amazing athlete, and very determined.. I think it's going to be someone within the first 15.. of course without knowing that order, there's no way to tell.. However Shinja is my odds on favorite in that one.
Anything else you would like to say?
Jasper: I want to thank, as I said before, everyone I have ever stepped into the ring with for your passion in this business. Some of you have seen me grow from a headset wearing nobody into the Superstar I am today, and some of you are just starting to see me. If you think you are impressed now, just wait.. The future is always uncertain, but rest assured, The Jazzy One will continue to amaze for years to come.
I also have to thank those who plugs this blog without them I wouldn't get the word out on this blog or help them out with new fans and much more! Those being VWE,UHW,VAW,APW and HAWX all of them are great feds in SL wrestling and please go to their sites/facebook for more information on their shows! just click their respective logo to visit them!
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Jasper: My name is Jasper Corvinus, I'm currently employed by United Honor Wrestling, and recently joined the DCWF Open Roster. Wrestling is pretty much all I do, except for DJing of course...
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
Jasper: No in ring Nicknames.. although every once in a while I call myself "The Jazzy One" because of the name Jasper.. Jasper, Jazzy.. you know..
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Jasper: This is a kinda long story.. I've always been a HUGE fan of MMOs.. but I wanted something more than just a game... I wanted something that would almost simulate real life...So I was looking around, and found Red Light District.. wasn't exactly sure what it was.. signed up, logged in, looked around a couple hours, found out what it was and ran like crazy... Then I discovered SL on a google search one day... Mind you this was 4 years ago... I signed up, and had NO CLUE what I was doing..nobody offered to help, so I never went back.. a year later, tried again, same result.. Finally a friend of mine who lives near me told me she was into it, and she got me hooked up with everything I need.. I've been hooked ever since.
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Jasper: This dates back to Facebook.. ANOTHER friend of mine who I used to RP with on a text chat.. I found out she was on SL.. so we chatted.. Then my (now) SL Mama commented on a post about it.. I Imed her.. she brought me to a few shows.. HAWX, uHw, VWE and DCWF.. I was completely floored and wanted to do it myself, being an avid WWE fan for many years.. I stated at commentary for uHw and HAWX.. and after a while just turned into a Full Time worker spot
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Jasper: Not a what, but a Who. Maxine Darkwatch. She really opened my eyes to it, and all the fun it could be. I guess if there HAD to be a what.. I'm well past my prime RL, and always wanted to be a RL worker.. This was as close as I was gonna get.
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Jasper: About Let's see.. this is September.. Started in February.. so... 7 months? Give or Take
What federations have you been in?
Jasper: As I said, I have been in uHw my entire career, and only started with the DCWF open roster about a month ago
Who was your trainer(s)?
Jasper: There's a long list.. It started with Maxine Darkwatch. She got me the HUD, showed me how it works, and gave me the basics. She will tell you I took it and ran with it.. but to be honest, .anyone I've ever stepped into the ring with has really helped me progress. Everyone has something new and innovative, and I consider myself lucky to continually be learning.
Who did you face in your first SL wrestling match and what was the result?
Jasper: My first Official Match? Hmm.. That would be.. oh man I have to look at my notes... If I recall right.. My first full match was with Acheron Nightfire himself.. It was a storyline match, and I got the win for it. Before that I was Managing Samantha Prater in uHw and making Maxine's life hell for it, so Alias, the GM of uHw, forced me into it... I won.. but not the way you would expect
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
Jasper: Black & Red
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
Jasper: Right now I only have one.. Drilling For Oil, named after my Texas background.. it's a Jackhammer
What do you think makes your character special?
Jasper: I don't? In all reality, I'm just playing a part.. How do I stand out? By trying to be different and unique every time I lace up the boots. I bring a mean streak to the uHw that I don't think has ever been seen before, and I'm always looking for ways to improve on that.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Jasper: I've made a lot of friends.. To me that is the most important part.. Titles come and go.. Main Events come and go.. but friendships last forever. But I am the current, and first ever recognized uHw United Honored Crown Champion. I didn't think I was ready for that kind of a push, but everyone tended to disagree, so here I am with the belt.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
Jasper: The top moment for me would have to be Strapping this belt around my waist... I never thought that only 7 months in and I would ever be in contention for a title, when I've seen workers in other feds go years without one. I attribute that to my work ethic, and trying to be unique. I still think I'm dreaming when I see it in my inventory, and when I put it on, but.. as Maxine told me.. "Boyo, you F****** EARNED it"
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
Jasper: There are a lot of people I would love to work with in a tag situation. My current character prohibits it.. but There's always hope.. Recently BBB was formed, with Myself, HoneyBluntz, and our Manager, Nick Halderman. I have the utmost respect for both of them, and love working with them, but there is a laundry list of people I would love to tag/stable with.
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
Jasper: Just to continue to be the best I can be. I wouldn't mind a shot at the United Universal Title someday.. but the man who holds it now.. I would have some pretty big shoes to fill. I just want to go out and be the best I can be..
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
Jasper: Oh man.. There are a few.. I had a house show match with Vince Easterwood a couple weeks ago.. I would love to do a storyline progression with him.. Wolfy Kessel, another person who I think we would have a great feud together.. On the DCWF Side.. I gotta say one of these days I wanna go Toe to Toe with the Cowboy himself.. once again, out of pure respect.
What have been your favorite 5 matches in any federation?
Jasper: The first one would be at DCWF. Ranma and Mythil at Sex..er.. Six on the Beach, for the DCWF World Heavyweight Championship... Second, at VWE, Benja Nirvana and Bryce Ketterley at BeachBrawl.. 3rd Maxine Darkwatch and Tiesa Piers at HAWX Summer Days.. 4th Even though I didn't see it live, Benja and Derrick Cult at Dead End.. 5th..

Nova's interview with Bryce Lexenstar
Welcome to another edition of the interviews! we just hit another milestone that being 5,000 Page Views! i am real excited about this! and I also thank this week's guest being Bryce Lexenstar i hope you all will enjoy the interview! Enjoy!!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Bryce Lexenstar: My name is Bryce Lexenstar. I've been involved in SL Wrestling now for about 2 years.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Bryce Lexenstar: My stage name is "Bad Attitude". I've had it from day one simply because of my genuine lack of a vocal filter. However, it hasn't been until recently that I've truly come into the moniker.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Bryce Lexenstar: I used to do online RP back in an old chat program Vp/Halsoft. But when that reached a "Pay to Play" situation, alot of the people migrated here. The continuation of the original game waned, but I stuck around.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: Malena and I were just strolling through SL when we stumbled onto an empty OEW wrestling arena. At first I was skeptical, thinking it would be rather tacky. But we came back for a couple of shows and I was just so entertained that I wanted to get involved.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: Well I was always a fan of Wrestling RL. My excitement for the televised stuff dwindles from time to time, but it's always there. So there was an interest. Then when I seen the actual product, it was just something I had to check out.
what was your debut like and who did you face?
Bryce Lexenstar: Never wracking. I am without a doubt my own worst critic, so I was so leery of going out there looking like an imbecile. Sadly, I don't get the privilege of boasting a monumental first opponent. My initial match was against Taylor Pain.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: I guess my "Dream" would just simply be able to have people remember my name and talk about how I was a thorough competitor. Both in the ring and on the stick. To know that I gave it my all everytime and that people enjoyed it.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think it's that I strive to make him balanced. He's brash and assertive on the mic, but he's also got the intellect to gain the upper hand. And in the ring, he's more than capable to get the job done. He's adaptable to whatever scenario he finds himself in.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Bryce Lexenstar: He has a few. There's the original "Riot Act", which is a vertebreaker. Recently he's adapted a couple more; the "Southwest Spinout", which is a pretty nasty spinning Impaler. And he has the "Del Ray Drive-by", and that is swinging reverse STO
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: Just a bit shy of 2 years.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Bryce Lexenstar: That's a bit of a tough question for me. I mean I look at any potential match as a dream. I would have to say working with names that everyone knows...Zane, Bombastic, Fury, etc.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Bryce Lexenstar: Just off the top of my head, I would have to say...Tiesa and Maxine's Hardcore Title match at HAWX's Summer Daze was a great display. Derrick's match with David at Immortality II just had the perfect elements of physicality and emotions to be amazing. Arcana's match with Honey for her shot at the title, the turn of Adriana just made an impact that you KNEW hell was about to be unleashed. The No Limits Title Ladder match at IW's Full Metal was just insane. And thought not really talked about, I would say Scott Hex's match with Buger Shan when he lost his mask. It proved to be a pivotal and major altering point for Hex's career.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Bryce Lexenstar: I've been competing for Intense Wrestling since March.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: During my previous time with OEW I obtained the Hardcore Championship as well as the Heavyweight Title. With Intense I became the first, and current No Limits Champion. But as far as personal accomplishments, I would say that just hearing crowd response...getting IMs from fans as well as other Wrestlers, on a job well done when I get to the back. Be it a promo or a match.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Bryce Lexenstar: Hmm, now this is just for my own personal grins. But for an inter gender stable; the thoughts of seeing a return of Heel Derrick Zane, teaming up with Arcana, Tiesa, and myself...just makes me chuckle. The thought of how absolutely brutal and entertaining it would be if the four of us just cut loose with a live mic just makes me chuckle.
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?
Bryce Lexenstar: That's another tough one. I _knew_ this would a question and I just kept stewing over it. I would have to say that I would go with Anarchy and Drewski, just for the sheer fact that they are both ridiculously resourceful when the situation calls for it.
who trained you?
Bryce Lexenstar: If we want to get "technical", Curt Bombastic and Derrick Zane initially taught me the ropes of the system. After that, I would have to say it's been a conjoined effort from everyone I've encountered. Hell, even some I've never worked with. You ask advice and hints, and some people simply make suggestions. I think with the evolving nature of wrestling, you're always training.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think my top moment really has nothing to do with my "in ring" career per say. I think it would be that when you get a message from someone like Scott Hex, thanking you for being there and helping them get on their feet in this whole wrestling scene. Having him tell me that he truly appreciates all the help along the way and that he credits me with him getting to the success he's having. That would have to be my personal moment.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: The people I would thank? I can't really name out specific people, it would be every person that's given me encouragement, support, advise, and opportunities. As well as the fans that come week in and week out to watch us perform for them. Yea, we all love wrestling and would do it anyhow; but to know that it's appreciated and anticipated by people makes it even more worthwhile.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Bryce Lexenstar: As I already mentioned, I started off in OEW. After deciding to leave there, I went to DCWF for a short period of time, however due to some real life conflicts and whatnot I felt that I couldn't really give my all to them and that wasn't fair for anyone. Now I am in Intense, as well as returning to OEW and doing things at APW, aaand an occasional helping in at HAWX when I can.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: There's a few actually. There's guys like Maven Gothly and Glen Dundren, who go above and behind to rise up from any and every 8-ball they've gotten stuck behind. Then there's guys like Bloodhawk, who you can just tell has an absolute love for what he does and is always 110% into what he's doing. Then there's the people like Ryan Fury, Derrick Zane, Broly Blackheart, Nanny Gothly, Vendetta, etc., that take their passion even further and do everything they can to run a Federation and provide a platform for all of us.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I would have to say I look to the true performers. The ones that have that "It", they can turn you into the biggest fan and then make you snap and want to see them suffer with a simple gesture. The first one to come to mind current would be HHH. But I also get inspiration from the people that have that uncanny ability to just utterly manipulate with a mic, like Chris Jericho.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Bryce Lexenstar: They are black bike shorts style tights with silver trim, with my knuckles logo on the front, "Made In Detroit" on the sides. Along with black wrist tape, and basic boots and kneepads.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think it all boils down to the individual. Sometimes it starts over past grudges that can't or won't be let go. Other times it's over a conflict of beliefs. All in all I think it ultimately boils down to the fact that this is a virtual environment, and people tend to lean towards the belief that they're indestructible. If people would take into consider how they would handle things in their real life outside of SL, and approached it that way....it'd curb a lot of the issues. Folks tend to use their screen as a shield, and think that it won't have an adverse effect on alot more people than their initial target. There's a big ripple effect from even the smallest thing.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I don't really know if I can. Each Federation has their strong key points. Trying to meld all the aspects into a generalized top 3 is tough. It boils down to what people like. Each Fed has it's own vibe and feel, that's why there are so many.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Bryce Lexenstar: The community as a whole has a solid amount of potential. It's if people can become the mature adults we all strive to be outside of SL that makes the change. Like I eluded to previously, if everyone would start taking any and all things into consideration before blindly firing into the darkness of an unknown situation, the sky is the limit. Until then, I think it'll be rough. The Community showcased what it was capable of for Give Back, we all need to tap back into that mentality.

Would you Recommend other people to be interviewed for this blog?
Bryce Lexenstar: There's a few I'd be interested in reading an interview on. Arcana, Tiesa, Scott Hex, Ryan Fury, Evan briggs
APW Ignition Prediction
APW Ignition Card:
Match 1 Phara Akula Vs Wulla Zeblin - who wins and why?
A: Hmm, tough call. I haven't seen Phara in the ring, and I only seen Wulla once....I'd have to go with a coin toss and call Phara, because she holds the total unknown variable.
Match 2: Abbadon Vs Curt Bombastic - who wins and why?
A: Abbadon is this freak huge monster, Curt's got the experience. I'd have to say if someone has the knowledge to face this beast and beat him, it'd be Curt.
Match 3: Women's Championship Honey Bluntz Vs Skye Hansum - Who wins and why?
A: Honey, she's turned this new leaf (Pun kinda intended) and she's been brutal. Not to mention, she'll be looking for the momentum going into Starrbrawl.
Main Event!: Mixed Tag team non-intergender match -Broly Black heart & Toxic Fang w/Michael Karsin Vs Bryce Lexenstar & Anarchy Fang W/ Scott Hex - Who wins and why?
A: Bryce and Anarchy, cause well obviously....I'm not betting AGAINST myself lol
any last words?
Bryce Lexenstar: Only that I see a bright future for SL Wrestling as long as we strive to work together. And to do the shameless plug, -grins- August 25th, VWWA Starrbrawl! Four federations, 3 totally recognized Championships. It's going to be an epic thing....I'm really excited to be a part of it and hope everyone comes to see the action!

How long have you been in your current Fed?
Bryce Lexenstar: I've been competing for Intense Wrestling since March.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: During my previous time with OEW I obtained the Hardcore Championship as well as the Heavyweight Title. With Intense I became the first, and current No Limits Champion. But as far as personal accomplishments, I would say that just hearing crowd response...getting IMs from fans as well as other Wrestlers, on a job well done when I get to the back. Be it a promo or a match.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Bryce Lexenstar: Hmm, now this is just for my own personal grins. But for an inter gender stable; the thoughts of seeing a return of Heel Derrick Zane, teaming up with Arcana, Tiesa, and myself...just makes me chuckle. The thought of how absolutely brutal and entertaining it would be if the four of us just cut loose with a live mic just makes me chuckle.
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?
Bryce Lexenstar: That's another tough one. I _knew_ this would a question and I just kept stewing over it. I would have to say that I would go with Anarchy and Drewski, just for the sheer fact that they are both ridiculously resourceful when the situation calls for it.
who trained you?
Bryce Lexenstar: If we want to get "technical", Curt Bombastic and Derrick Zane initially taught me the ropes of the system. After that, I would have to say it's been a conjoined effort from everyone I've encountered. Hell, even some I've never worked with. You ask advice and hints, and some people simply make suggestions. I think with the evolving nature of wrestling, you're always training.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think my top moment really has nothing to do with my "in ring" career per say. I think it would be that when you get a message from someone like Scott Hex, thanking you for being there and helping them get on their feet in this whole wrestling scene. Having him tell me that he truly appreciates all the help along the way and that he credits me with him getting to the success he's having. That would have to be my personal moment.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Bryce Lexenstar: The people I would thank? I can't really name out specific people, it would be every person that's given me encouragement, support, advise, and opportunities. As well as the fans that come week in and week out to watch us perform for them. Yea, we all love wrestling and would do it anyhow; but to know that it's appreciated and anticipated by people makes it even more worthwhile.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Bryce Lexenstar: As I already mentioned, I started off in OEW. After deciding to leave there, I went to DCWF for a short period of time, however due to some real life conflicts and whatnot I felt that I couldn't really give my all to them and that wasn't fair for anyone. Now I am in Intense, as well as returning to OEW and doing things at APW, aaand an occasional helping in at HAWX when I can.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: There's a few actually. There's guys like Maven Gothly and Glen Dundren, who go above and behind to rise up from any and every 8-ball they've gotten stuck behind. Then there's guys like Bloodhawk, who you can just tell has an absolute love for what he does and is always 110% into what he's doing. Then there's the people like Ryan Fury, Derrick Zane, Broly Blackheart, Nanny Gothly, Vendetta, etc., that take their passion even further and do everything they can to run a Federation and provide a platform for all of us.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I would have to say I look to the true performers. The ones that have that "It", they can turn you into the biggest fan and then make you snap and want to see them suffer with a simple gesture. The first one to come to mind current would be HHH. But I also get inspiration from the people that have that uncanny ability to just utterly manipulate with a mic, like Chris Jericho.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Bryce Lexenstar: They are black bike shorts style tights with silver trim, with my knuckles logo on the front, "Made In Detroit" on the sides. Along with black wrist tape, and basic boots and kneepads.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Bryce Lexenstar: I think it all boils down to the individual. Sometimes it starts over past grudges that can't or won't be let go. Other times it's over a conflict of beliefs. All in all I think it ultimately boils down to the fact that this is a virtual environment, and people tend to lean towards the belief that they're indestructible. If people would take into consider how they would handle things in their real life outside of SL, and approached it that way....it'd curb a lot of the issues. Folks tend to use their screen as a shield, and think that it won't have an adverse effect on alot more people than their initial target. There's a big ripple effect from even the smallest thing.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Bryce Lexenstar: I don't really know if I can. Each Federation has their strong key points. Trying to meld all the aspects into a generalized top 3 is tough. It boils down to what people like. Each Fed has it's own vibe and feel, that's why there are so many.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Bryce Lexenstar: The community as a whole has a solid amount of potential. It's if people can become the mature adults we all strive to be outside of SL that makes the change. Like I eluded to previously, if everyone would start taking any and all things into consideration before blindly firing into the darkness of an unknown situation, the sky is the limit. Until then, I think it'll be rough. The Community showcased what it was capable of for Give Back, we all need to tap back into that mentality.

APW Ignition Prediction
APW Ignition Card:
Match 1 Phara Akula Vs Wulla Zeblin - who wins and why?
A: Hmm, tough call. I haven't seen Phara in the ring, and I only seen Wulla once....I'd have to go with a coin toss and call Phara, because she holds the total unknown variable.
Match 2: Abbadon Vs Curt Bombastic - who wins and why?
A: Abbadon is this freak huge monster, Curt's got the experience. I'd have to say if someone has the knowledge to face this beast and beat him, it'd be Curt.
Match 3: Women's Championship Honey Bluntz Vs Skye Hansum - Who wins and why?
A: Honey, she's turned this new leaf (Pun kinda intended) and she's been brutal. Not to mention, she'll be looking for the momentum going into Starrbrawl.
Main Event!: Mixed Tag team non-intergender match -Broly Black heart & Toxic Fang w/Michael Karsin Vs Bryce Lexenstar & Anarchy Fang W/ Scott Hex - Who wins and why?
A: Bryce and Anarchy, cause well obviously....I'm not betting AGAINST myself lol
any last words?
Bryce Lexenstar: Only that I see a bright future for SL Wrestling as long as we strive to work together. And to do the shameless plug, -grins- August 25th, VWWA Starrbrawl! Four federations, 3 totally recognized Championships. It's going to be an epic thing....I'm really excited to be a part of it and hope everyone comes to see the action!
I hope you all enjoyed this interview and i also as usuall would like to thank the ones that plug this blog those being VWE,HAWX, UHW and VAW also welcome our new plug sponsor Federation that being APW go check their sites out by clicking on the logo under the blog! they are all great feds to go and watch some action at! ;)

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

Who did you face in your First match ever and who won?
Derrick Zane: If I recall my first match was with David HawkActor back in Sinnies Birthright Pro Wrestling, and I can't recall if he went over or if I did. He might recall.

There was not a lot though that held my interest for long periods of time, not until I re-discovered the community.

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