I'd like to thank Maven for his time to get this interview done specially with me being sick and all. but i hope you all will enjoy it I did! so enjoy!
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Maven Gothly: Well I am Maven Gothly. I'm a no bs type of guy who prides himself in his ability to never give up. I dont try to rub people the wrong way but tend to, But hey what can ya do right? Not everyone's gunna like ya
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
Maven Gothly: Well I call myself "The Mave Machine." The Nickname did not begin in the ring. But I brought it in because it describes the way I conduct myself. I come at you with everything I got, nothing less. My endurance has at times been noted as astounding
It originally began as a nickname the Ladies gave me lol
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Well I started in Imvu and was brought in by a friend. She Brought me in, and left me alone. Plain as day
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Maven Gothly: I actually ran into sl wrestling on a day of exploring and searches. I thought to myself, "I love Wrestling, I'll see what comes up!" And thus I ran into SLCW. As I walked into the door, I was offered a concussion I later found out was an old school SLCW Chair shot, and as a ignorant noob I made the mistake of accepting. From that first Chair shot I was dead set on becoming a part of this Sl Wrestling
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Maven Gothly: I love Wrestling, Plain and simple. I got one taste and became an addict. Hell even the owner's impatience with me, being the big annoyance of the time couldn't deter me. I mean yeah I coulda sat in the crowd. I coulda enjoyed that shows. But why do that? This is SL You can become what you want. So I became a bean farmer, I mean Wrestler! XD
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Maven Gothly: Well I joined Secondlife in July of 2008, and I signed up as soon as they would let me at 30 days old, so about 4 1/2 years.
What federations have you been in?
Maven Gothly: I've been in Quite a few, some not long enough to drink a cup of coffee others a while. so I will go with the ones I was actively involved in. I started in SLCW, but never got the chance at a hud, back then alpin I think had to make them himself. I stuck around VWA, But my first times of wrestling were at, GEW, and MWA. I've wrestled PRWW quite a few times, had some matches at AHWF. Of course my own EVW. I had a stint in the beginning of UWS. But my Wrestling became full time when I finally got a good position in OEW. From there I watched the whole DWA times and Wrestled it. Actually helped them out alot when they needed it. Then I wrestled, IW, and the whole VWWA. Currently Today I remain at APW.
Who was your trainer(s)?
Maven Gothly: I really cant say I had a Formal Trainer. I really Developed my own skills by watching others and Asking for advice. Now I do Have someone I consider a Mentor. That would Be Derrick Zane. He's the closest thing I've had to a Trainer. He's Been a good friend of mine since I started IW. He's Taught me alot
Who did you face in your first SL wrestling match and what was the result?
Maven Gothly: God It's been a while and, Old Man Gothly's Memory is failing. The First Match I truely Remember, Was at a fed I did forget to mention. It was Scorf's EVWF, Against my once best friend Stixx Mayhem. I dont remember the outcome, But I do remember we always talked about a rematch. Never happened.
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
Maven Gothly: Currently my colors are White, Red, And Black.
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
Maven Gothly: My main Finisher is the Welder's Flash. It is a Inverted Crucifix Cutter, very nasty. My other is H.O.C. (Head On Collision) which is a discus clothesline.
What do you think makes your character special?
Maven Gothly: Well I think it is my personality, my no bs take to the world, my tendency to attack an issue head on. It's me but without the hesitation. Totally unhinged and confident in his abilities.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Maven Gothly: Well Actually if you look behind me here in my office their right there. The AWF Triple Edge Threat Championship. I pretty much Revolutionized the thing. I've won the APW World Heavyweight Championship, and walked it into the Main Event of The First and Only Starbrawl, where it was unified in the VWWA World Championship. I may have lost, but the moment of that main event, and the story it told is, an accomplishment of it's own in my mind.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
Maven Gothly: VWWA Starbrawl. Walking into the main Event of the big one as Champion. It made my career whole. It's that moment every wrestler in sl works for.
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
Maven Gothly: A dream tag team or stable.... have a few. I'd love to Work with Derrick Zane. Hell Stick me with Ryan Fury and Derrick. Mad Respect I have for both of them. We have the mouthpeices and the skill to make it great. I'd love to work with Curt Bombastic in a tag form. Hell If I wasant always on so bad terms with him, I wanted to work with Stixx.
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
Maven Gothly: Yes, A lot of those wont happened because of stupid stuff I've done in the past so, I'll focus on the one that I could do. My dream is to usher in a new era of sl wrestling. I've always been a firm believer that no matter how good you are, their is always further to go. I want to close that gap of realizsm between sl wrestling and Rl Wrestling. I wanna do it with my own actions in the ring, and on the mic.
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
Maven Gothly: Their is a few. I'll list the guys who I want a shot at. Derrick Zane, Broly Blackheart (which I'm getting a chance for At APw Night of Destiny), Davidhawk Actor, Derrick Cult, Shinja, and hell as much as I've done to the guy and he's ripped my head off, I'd like to step over the ropes in a match with Seth Cameron
What have been your favorite 5 matches in any federation?
Maven Gothly: As far as been in, Me vs Jw Beeswing at EVW One Night only, The VWWA World Championship Match at Starbrawl. as Far as seen, Ashe Derothchild (not curveo) vs Keiro Star at EVW One Night only, and the Cage of Annihilation Match at EVW Hardcore Holidays I think thats only 4 but I'm very picky
If you could play booker for one day and could pick any wrestler male or female, who would you pick for the Main Event?
Maven Gothly: I'll show ya one of both just to give you a dual Perspective. Male, I'd pick Davidhawk Actor vs Derrick Zane vs Curt Bombastic vs seth cameron in a fatal 4 way Elimination style. Quite a match I think. as Far as Female I'd go Honey Bluntz vs. Jenn Parkin vs Anarchy Fang in a falls count anywhere match
What would you consider the top 5 feuds you've seen in SL wrestling?
Maven Gothly: Well theirs the Curt/Seth feaud. some Heat there. Scott Hex/ Broly blackheart was pretty good. But My all time fave I was involved in was the whole S.E.X. (Sports Entertainment Xtreme) Storyline well thought out and was good while it lasted.
I guess that only 3 but again picky picky Maven
Who would you like to thank for being there during your adventures of SL wrestling?
Maven Gothly: I'd like to thank Derrick Zane, Not only was he a good friend, but he taught me alot and made me what I am today. I'd like to Thank Broly Blackheart, the guy is a nut, I think he's more sane then alot, great friend. And I'd like to Thank Scott Hex. He's the most cool and collected guy I know, I could trust the man with my life, and he always has my back.
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
Maven Gothly: It's the guys I work with on a daily basis the ones I just thanked. Their friendship, has inspired me to keep goin when things hit the fan. And they have inspired me to be better.
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Maven Gothly: 2 guys. Tommy Dreamer for one. He stayed with ECW till the end. Thats what I call Dedication. Something I try to do myself, though I don't always stick to. And Cm Punk. He made it to the top on his terms. Not by kissing up but by good old fashioned hard work
What would you consider the top 3 federations in SL, and why do you think so?
Maven Gothly: What I call top federations are the ones most relevant, I will say them in order. HAWX, I mean common their always relevant, always going outside the box, they got great people working there. APW, the new commers who have come a long way, we have always tried to push the bar up. Finally VWE, they have some of the most loyal people around and some of the best production. Very highly organized, for a bit they were slowing down but now their getting back up there.
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
Maven Gothly: I think it's full of a lotta diffrent opinions, alotta diffrent people. Some nice others not so much. To every person their own place. Some say their is no community. I say their is. But it's like highschool and divided into cliques. You just gotta find your group and you'll be good
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?
Maven Gothly: Some are caused by people who wanna start fights, or cause others trouble, others by miscommunication,others by just plain ignorance. I say before you go spreading shit round, get your fact straight, go to the person, get all the sides of the story. All it takes is a a nice im or a few.

Drewski Hoxley asks:
Are there any personal regrets you've made in your SL Wrestling career?
Maven Gothly: Yes Many of them I wont speak of in a public forum. But I will say a few decisions I have made Have cost my career to not be as good as I would have liked it to be. But then again I cant Change the Past. I can Only change the here and now to influence the future.
Anything else you would like to say?
Maven Gothly: I'd like to say I believe sl Wrestling right now is in a slump. Relevance is at a low. I believe change needs to be made. We can put on better shows but only when we quit settling for the status quo. There is....so much more to learn.

Nova's interview with Sierra Charisma
I'd like to thank Sierra for her time to make this interview. with how her week has been. I liked reading her answers and i am sure you'll enjoy it! so enjoy! and this counts to whole 50 Interviews! halfway to 100 thank you all for reading these interviews without you readers I wouldn't have kept going but like i said enjoy!
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
I'm the Heart Breaker, Sierra Charisma. I've been wrestling in SL for just about five years now. Been in DCWF, VWE...and my "little sister" was a referee in HAWX
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
"The Heart Breaker" was just something I came up with while trying to think of something that portrayed the image I wanted to project. Sexy, but tough at the same time.
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
My RL boyfriend...he's away a lot so we used it as a more fun way to chat, years ago. Turns out he didn't like it, but I became an addict.
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
A combination of total boredom and sheer luck....I wanted something to do in SL cause it was just fascinating to me, and this was back when the only options really were dancing, shopping, or hanging out. Just through coincidence, I ran into someone who names was also Sierra, and we bonded after we found out we had the same rez day as well. She was a designer and helped me get some modeling and spokesperson jobs in pose ball feds and I made some money but that scene wasn't really for me. Just through a search I found DCWF and was instantly blown away. I went to the old old arena and the first two people I met were Eric Stuart (who laughed at me) and Morpheus, whit hit on me xD. The best person to walk in was Lee Valentine who I was really inspired by. She was like super nice to me right away and encouraged me a lot. So I applied and I regret it to this day xD
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
The challenge. Ive always loved entertaining and the more I learned about the ins and outs of how the matches and shows were made I was like...ok, i have to do this, its perfect.
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
about five years...five...loong...years
What federations have you been in?
DCWF-VWE-DCWF...and Ive played a role quite a bit in HAWX but was never really an official member
Who was your trainer(s)?
I don't mean not to name names, but really, everyone Ive worked with up until this day.
Who did you face in your first SL wrestling match and what was the result?
Misaki...and I lost like all rookies do xD
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
Red and black...that will never change ;o)
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
I have three. I guess the ones I'm most known for is the K.A.B.O. kick, and just to set the record straight, KABO is an anagram for "Knock A Bitch Out". Its Kofi Kingstons Trouble In Paradise kick. The impact move I call "The Downfall"...its a type of reverse Pedigree. My submission is "The Heart breaker Lock" which is a type of triangle choke.
What do you think makes your character special?
Well, I try to do out of the ordinary things. For instance, if I see something done the same way over and over, I'll try to do it differently. I innovate. I put a lot of thought and detail into everything I do. I know I'll never be perfect but I try to be. I practice rehearse all the time. I think that's what makes me stand out.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
My first year in wrestling, I won "promo of the year". I was proud of that because I was still a rookie and that's what made me realize the "wrestling nerds" liked my work. In VWE I was Women's champion (in spite of them not having it on their wall AHEM! ;o) Also in VWE, I co-won Feud of the year" with Vendetta, which id have to say I was very honored because our names weren't Seth or Loody. ;o) Ive also managed to infuriate every fed owner Ive had, which is quite an accomplishment itself xD
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
A non wrestling moment, oddly enough. After the match where I lost the VWE Women's title, i was approached separately by two different fans who said I inspired them to try wrestling in SL. One of them went on to hold the same title I did, and words cant describe how much that meant to me. I never did this for awards, having people entertained and inspired to try something new and exciting is something no one can take away from you.
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
Ive very lucky, Ive already worked with my dream tag team partner, Lee Valentine. I do think Lee, myself, Lily, and Isabelle would own everyone though xD
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
Yes, my dream achievement in SL wrestling would be to cut out all the drama, politics, and bullshit.
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
Akasha. Hell In A Cell.
What have been your favorite 5 matches in any federation?
In no particular order: Celtdans retirement match just recently in DCWF which i was so happy that my "little sister" reffed. Akasha vs Vendetta triple cage match would be another. Shinja vs Surik in the wooden cage thing was incredible. Lee vs Lily vs Maxine at wrestle series for personal reasons. Last but not least, Isabelle's farewell match from HAWX, another I was very happy that my blond alter-ego got to ref.
If you could play Booker for one day and could pick any wrestler male or female, who would you pick for the Main Event?
Shinja vs Mythil...that needs to go down xD
What would you consider the top 5 feuds you've seen in SL wrestling?
Alpin vs Eric and Seth vs Numbers ;o) Akasha vs Vendetta, Lily vs Isabelle...and i really hate to mention myself, but Vendetta and I really tore it up.
( SLCW Vs DCWF Thing and VWE Vs DCWF )
Who would you like to thank for being there during your adventures of SL wrestling?
Easy answer finally xD Id like to thank Naudia Nadezda for quite literally, being there. She's a true fan of what we do and she's figuratively been there for me since I started. She was the first ever outside person to compliment my work. Id also have to mention all the members of "Team Sierra" who Ive pestered to come to my shows and actually seem to enjoy it and get into it. Last but not least, Jack Citron for standing by me when I made a tough and unpopular decision. That's a real man. :)
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
anyone who innovates, takes a risk with something new. people who I watch and say to myself "that's who I want to work with".
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
I'd have to say my first influence was Melina Perez. She was the first RL wrestler I connected with when I started doing SL wrestling. She was what I wanted "The Heart breaker" be. Attractive, but not a "diva". Melina also has the skill to back it up, much like Trish Stratus. My biggest influence, which I like is somewhat obvious is Gail Kim. She innovates and thinks outside the box. My new "hometown" of Seoul is my nod to her. Recently, Also, I never thought so CM Punk has turned out to be a big influence recently. I can relate to his anti-authority, anti-bullshit personality.
What would you consider the top 3 federations in SL, and why do you think so?
no one could do this list w/out saying VWE, if for production values alone. HAWX is like the "little engine should have never" but just keeps going and turned out a lot of top talent. Also, kinda under the radar is VWWF. They're out there and put together a good show.
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
Are you looking for a "pipe" bomb asking me this? xD Ill look at this two ways...Business and personal. Business wise, Celtdan was right. This whole scene needs a kick in the ass. Theres waaay too much politics, way too much drama, way too much rewarding friends and "family" and way too much giving the same people rewards over and over. Theres people who's time has come and they need to step aside for the good of their fed because they're holding back its potential. People shouldn't be held back because of petty nonsense. There needs to be more concentration on training the new generation of wrestlers not just how to do a rope shoot, but how to think. Think outside the box. Think of details. Think of how to blow the audience away. And if we did that, maybe we'd actually get a audience besides the community that actually comes to shows. maybe true fans like Naudia would come back, because each fed wouldn't just be a big "pat on the back" to the managements friends. If it doesn't happen soon, i fear for the scene.
Personally: I guess the things that saddens me the most about what I just wrote is we ARE a great group of people. We ARE creative enough and we ARE smart enough to shake things up, but we've become complacent. The SL wrestling community is like my SL family. We may fight, sometimes bitterly, but they way we all pull together when one fed gets griefed or when theres a charity show to do...that's inspiring. In spite of all the things Ive been called publicly and privately, I dont think anyone would accuse me of not loving any person who had the drive and courage to put themselves in a ring with something they created and not been afraid to fail. We are the most entertaining thing in SL. We need to start
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?
Honestly? Its the people in power. They dont like it when they're challenged, and that's one tool they use to get back at people. If we're honest with ourselves, imo that's the only answer. Your "workers" cant really do any damage with rumors. Its a one way street.

Are you looking for a "pipe" bomb asking me this? xD Ill look at this two ways...Business and personal. Business wise, Celtdan was right. This whole scene needs a kick in the ass. Theres waaay too much politics, way too much drama, way too much rewarding friends and "family" and way too much giving the same people rewards over and over. Theres people who's time has come and they need to step aside for the good of their fed because they're holding back its potential. People shouldn't be held back because of petty nonsense. There needs to be more concentration on training the new generation of wrestlers not just how to do a rope shoot, but how to think. Think outside the box. Think of details. Think of how to blow the audience away. And if we did that, maybe we'd actually get a audience besides the community that actually comes to shows. maybe true fans like Naudia would come back, because each fed wouldn't just be a big "pat on the back" to the managements friends. If it doesn't happen soon, i fear for the scene.
Personally: I guess the things that saddens me the most about what I just wrote is we ARE a great group of people. We ARE creative enough and we ARE smart enough to shake things up, but we've become complacent. The SL wrestling community is like my SL family. We may fight, sometimes bitterly, but they way we all pull together when one fed gets griefed or when theres a charity show to do...that's inspiring. In spite of all the things Ive been called publicly and privately, I dont think anyone would accuse me of not loving any person who had the drive and courage to put themselves in a ring with something they created and not been afraid to fail. We are the most entertaining thing in SL. We need to start
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?
Honestly? Its the people in power. They dont like it when they're challenged, and that's one tool they use to get back at people. If we're honest with ourselves, imo that's the only answer. Your "workers" cant really do any damage with rumors. Its a one way street.

Prediction time! I will list the matches on the upcoming EDGE card, please state what your predictions are for each match.
In Match one we have John Struk Taking on Kravyn Moore Champion Versus Newcomer Kravyn has yet to gain a victory in VWE However John has had a few rough months and being hunted by his brother with that said Kravyn might be Kravyn moore for something around John's waist. what is your prediction for this match?
Answer: nothing against Krayan but i think John gonna sow why he got that belt and win
Match Two: Maxine will be taking on Hilary Maxine has been going up against the Women's champion not long ago and in her last match her match ended in a no contest against Briana during Marionetta's referring so this might be her chance to gain a win depending on her mood, However Hilary was recently attacked during Primetime by an unknown woman depending on the injury this might be an easy match for Maxine. what is your prediction?
Answer: I'm gonna go with Maxine cause she close to the top and is huungry for it and Hilary just might be too hurt from her PT attack
Match Three: Marionetta the Trickster will be taking on the VWE Women's International champion. Marionetta has been fooling Briana the past few weeks and also stealing the Belt from Briana. not to mention being number one contender for said belt. with how Marionetta plays her opponents she might pull out the Ace card in this match but Briana is champion for a reason. what is your prediction?
Answer: i feel its a must win for Briana cause if she can't beat the number one contender and person who stole her belt she might as well let her keep it
and in the Main Event we will have the Current VWE Worldheavyweight Champion Bryce Ketterly Taking on Adune Snowpaw with how Wrestleseries ended Adune seems to have his mind set on Seth Cameron in stand of The Champion With how Bryce has been he might use Adune's focus against him. but the Judge is not one to easily out think. who will win and who will fall?
Answer: with Bryce's current backing from Stuart warf the voice of the BOD and a mystery helper i think the cards may be stacked too high against Adune with his focus not on bryce

Answer: Tyress, Kimbery soulstar, Vendetta and nanny, list is short cause not many i am a mentor to

Nova's interview with Benbe kirax
I'd like to thank Ben for taking his time in making this interview and i hope you readers will enjoy it I will do 1 more until i take the Christmas break and will return right after new years day now Enjoy!
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Ben: Hello I am Benbe "The Hero" Kirax I have been with Virtual Wrestling Entertainment since its founding over four years ago. I initially was brought on to be a commentator and as voice talent for the company. After a few months of working as a commentator one of the nights I wanted to help out more and began training under Akasha Faulkes and was also helped with ring psychology by Seth Cameron, eventually I adopted the persona of "The Hero" and it has stuck with me ever since. I eventually went on to win a few belts and have some fantastic matches including the likes of Seth, Brakman Wylder, Bryce Ketterly and a number of others who I greatly respect. Now as it stands I am retired from the ring and serve as the Chairman for Virtual Wrestling Entertainment and still work on commentary.
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
I am The Hero (sometimes Legendary Hero) and it started off when I in talks with what my character should be that it should basically be my personality squared, and the persona of The Hero just kind of came out in all the discussions and designs of what my character was going to be.
Now later on Legendary was added after I was put into the hall of fame/legend category.
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Well I was with a group of friends who included Seth Cameron and Tyress The Nova Serevi Parkin and looking to just hang out with them and have fun.
When we went to second life it was a nice hang out and gave us the ability to do things until we discovered Second Life wrestling and it went from there.
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Well it was when the same group who brought me into Second Life to begin with decided to see if they could bring in a new federation in SL and I was asked to be voice talent to start with.
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Well it seemed like a fun thing to do and I being a voice actor loved to have a project and wanted to flex my vocal cords to see what they could pull off...though initially I knew nothing about wrestling aside from a few persona's names from real life wrestling and seeing about...two episodes of WWE when I was younger.
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Ever since Virtual Wrestling Entertainment was created over 4 years ago.
What federations have you been in?
Officially I've have always served in Virtual Wrestling Entertainment though I have worked as a commentator on occasion for other feds if asked. In the past anyway.
Who was your trainer(s)?
Akasha Faulkes primarily taught me the system and most of the primary points of wrestling while Seth Cameron helped me in ring psychology and character development.
Who did you face in your first SL wrestling match and what was the result?
It was Tony "Da" Tiger and I ended up losing that first match but it was a very fun match to participate in.
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
My colors go along with my lion logo are blue, white and black.
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
I have the Heroic DDT which is a DDT, A rarely used Heroic Ending which was actually a gord buster, and then I also would use a Superplex as well.
What do you think makes your character special?
I just think that what I bring from myself really is that Benbe is pretty much as I said my personality just...larger, so I think people seem to enjoy the genuine nature of Benbe.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
I've been a multiple golden rope award winner, I've won the United States belt a couple of times, participated in many of the first of specialty matches including the cage match, the ladder match, and the iron man match. Including a Championship Iron Man match, I have also been a multi-time World Heavy Weight Champion and of course was inducted into the hall of fame, where I stand with some other fantastic talent that I respect, and I participated in my final match against Brakman Wylder at Wrestleseries 3.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
I would have to say one of my personal favorite moments was the reveal of Benbe as taking control of the company the very first time and his first move re-branding the company from XWA to VWE. I feel that this was a very important part that it really brought out the type of power one person can have in the wrestling community. From commentator, to super star, to chairman
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
If I had my pick I would like to work with Brakman Wylder again, Adune Snowpaw I feel would be another wrestler I would like to do a tag team with at some point in time, of course I also had endless fun when Seth Cameron and I did the stable TNR and caused havoc but all in all I have a respect for almost everyone and like to see everyone have a chance to work with them.
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
To be honest I feel like I am very privileged to be in a spotlight role of one of the greatest places and with such fantastic people, I honestly am happy exactly where I am, and that I get to work with people I respect and admire like Jenn Parkin in an official business.
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
I would like to work with people like David Hawk Actor, Cody Houley, Acheron Nightfire, and if I were to continue the list we'd be here all night but there are so many people I have respect for and would love to work with. Though in terms of type of match I always love to do something new and innovative for a match type that really make people sit up and go wow.
What have been your favorite 5 matches in any federation?
I'd have to say in no particular order, Brakman versus myself at Wresleseries 3, The three stages of Hell match with myself and Seth Cameron, The scaffolding match between Vendetta and Akasha is definitely one that sticks in my head, The match between Adune Snowpaw and Bryce Ketterly at Six Feet Under last year and I'd have to say also the wrestleseries 2 match that was the hardcore match between Jenn Parkin and yourself Tyress
If you could play Booker for one day and could pick any wrestler male or female, who would you pick for the Main Event?
I'd have to say I would like to see perhaps a mixed tag match with a few different people that include Acheron Nightfire with perhaps Jenn Parkin (mainly because I want to see her back in the ring :P) up against the likes of kimberly soulstar and I really can't pin just one other person down of who I'd like to see there are really so many of them. Perhaps Derrick Cult
What would you consider the top 5 feuds you've seen in SL wrestling?
'd have to say Adune and Bryce was a great one, the on and off fued between myself and Seth Cameron I do have to say I liked especially the major highlights of that moment, Loody Graves and Seth also had some great moments, Acheron Nightfire and Shinja Ugajin and I'd also have to say Akasha Faulkes and Vendetta had some good moments as well, and adding an extra one Nanny Gothly also had some great moments between her and I want to believe Kimberly Soulstar.
Who would you like to thank for being there during your adventures of SL wrestling?
I'd of course like to thank everyone, I know that may be a bit formulaic but really everyone I have interacted with has helped me to where I am that includes Seth, Jenn, yourself, Adune, Benja, Brakman, Wildfire really everyone who has ever been on the roster I would have to thank.
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
Again this goes down to any one I've seen step in the ring pick up a mic it has all been amazing and I have loved this journey and look forward to the future of it.
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Well I definitely would have to say I've seen magnificent things from the likes of CM Punk, The Rock, and one of the others I took a bit of inspiration from Christian and Edge.
What would you consider the top 3 federations in SL, and why do you think so?
Well VWE of course because it is my home, I also have to say I respect DCWF because of how long they have been in the game and HAWX for proving a home to all female wrestlers.
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
I think that there is so much good that can come from it when people work together and work to entertain everyone because I do believe that is why we are all here is to put on the best show any one can see.
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?
I think just situations that people get themselves into and put meaning behind it where there are none or just people who don't want to talk to others I think perhaps which is a shame.

Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Ben: Hello I am Benbe "The Hero" Kirax I have been with Virtual Wrestling Entertainment since its founding over four years ago. I initially was brought on to be a commentator and as voice talent for the company. After a few months of working as a commentator one of the nights I wanted to help out more and began training under Akasha Faulkes and was also helped with ring psychology by Seth Cameron, eventually I adopted the persona of "The Hero" and it has stuck with me ever since. I eventually went on to win a few belts and have some fantastic matches including the likes of Seth, Brakman Wylder, Bryce Ketterly and a number of others who I greatly respect. Now as it stands I am retired from the ring and serve as the Chairman for Virtual Wrestling Entertainment and still work on commentary.
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
I am The Hero (sometimes Legendary Hero) and it started off when I in talks with what my character should be that it should basically be my personality squared, and the persona of The Hero just kind of came out in all the discussions and designs of what my character was going to be.
Now later on Legendary was added after I was put into the hall of fame/legend category.
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Well I was with a group of friends who included Seth Cameron and Tyress The Nova Serevi Parkin and looking to just hang out with them and have fun.
When we went to second life it was a nice hang out and gave us the ability to do things until we discovered Second Life wrestling and it went from there.
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Well it was when the same group who brought me into Second Life to begin with decided to see if they could bring in a new federation in SL and I was asked to be voice talent to start with.
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Well it seemed like a fun thing to do and I being a voice actor loved to have a project and wanted to flex my vocal cords to see what they could pull off...though initially I knew nothing about wrestling aside from a few persona's names from real life wrestling and seeing about...two episodes of WWE when I was younger.
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Ever since Virtual Wrestling Entertainment was created over 4 years ago.
What federations have you been in?
Officially I've have always served in Virtual Wrestling Entertainment though I have worked as a commentator on occasion for other feds if asked. In the past anyway.
Who was your trainer(s)?
Akasha Faulkes primarily taught me the system and most of the primary points of wrestling while Seth Cameron helped me in ring psychology and character development.
Who did you face in your first SL wrestling match and what was the result?
It was Tony "Da" Tiger and I ended up losing that first match but it was a very fun match to participate in.
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
My colors go along with my lion logo are blue, white and black.
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
I have the Heroic DDT which is a DDT, A rarely used Heroic Ending which was actually a gord buster, and then I also would use a Superplex as well.
What do you think makes your character special?
I just think that what I bring from myself really is that Benbe is pretty much as I said my personality just...larger, so I think people seem to enjoy the genuine nature of Benbe.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
I've been a multiple golden rope award winner, I've won the United States belt a couple of times, participated in many of the first of specialty matches including the cage match, the ladder match, and the iron man match. Including a Championship Iron Man match, I have also been a multi-time World Heavy Weight Champion and of course was inducted into the hall of fame, where I stand with some other fantastic talent that I respect, and I participated in my final match against Brakman Wylder at Wrestleseries 3.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?

Nova's interview with Katheryn Blackadder
I'd really like to thank Kat for taking her time i've been waiting so long to interview her and finally we sat down and did it! so enjoy!!
Tyress: I've been looking forward to this day as Kat is one of my idols at DCWF for her hard work and her stepping up to keep DCWF alive under its hardship
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Katheryn Blackadder: My name is Katheryn Blackadder, or Kitty Kat, and I've been in SL a little over 5 years now, and about 4 1/2 of those years have been with the DCWF
Tyress: i think i saw you in SLCW one time. xD when Eric brought me there from Seth's club
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
Yes, the DCWF started out as the SLCW, until Second Life clamped down on the usage of their name or initials in company names. Speaking of Eric, he dubbed me Kitty Kat, but I always wanted Jungle Kat to be my inring name, because I'm a leopard and all.
why did you pick a Leopard?
Katheryn Blackadder: I had created the leopard avatar for fun, because I love being a neko. But then I started thinking how could I best use this av, and wrestling came to mind.
Tyress: thats a pretty interesting idea you came up with
Katheryn Blackadder: I think the idea struck when I was building my neko AO and found body builder animations.
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Katheryn Blackadder: I love playing The Sims, and I heard about SL on LiveJournal, my friends were discussing it. I thought it'd be like the Sims only I'd get to talk to other people instead of myself.
Tyress: seems The Sims is giving alot of the female wrestlers and staff members out there their way to find SL
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Katheryn Blackadder: Well, I'd built this macho leopard woman av, with the body builder animations, and I was working at a "newbie friendly hang out" as a volunteer. It didn't seem to fit. So I started thinking what would be a better fit, and did a search for wrestling. SLCW was the first hit.
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: I'll tell you what I told Alpin Criss when he asked me that: I was a frustrated housewife with a lot of aggression to work out. That probably wouldn't fly on an application today, but it was good enough back in the day.
Tyress: Wow thats quite a reason to join what was Alpin's Reaction?
Katheryn Blackadder: Laughter, if i remember correctly. He gave me the system, showed me the ropes, and set me loose on other wrestlers.
Who was your favorite Opponent to face in SLCW days?
Katheryn Blackadder: Probably Crul Nightfire. It was fun piledriving a guy twice or three times my size. To this day, he complains I was trying to break his neck.
Tyress: and were you trying to break his neck?
Katheryn Blackadder: He wrote that spot! I actually did fewer piledrivers than he'd wanted! I claim innocence!
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: Over 4 1/2 years now. I made my debut at the first April Fools, Hardcore Rules in 2008 against Misaki Yumako.
Tyress: thats quite an opponent to face for your debut
Who Won?
Katheryn Blackadder: Misaki. She's always been my toughest opponent. Submission moves are my weakness.
What federations have you been in?
SLCW/DCWF
Who was your trainer(s)?
Katheryn Blackadder: Back in the beginning, we didn't have trainers, per se. It was more like, whoever had more experience was expected to train the newbies. Remember, SL wrestling was still in its infancy, and we were all feeling our way through it, figuring out what worked and what didn't. Still, again I have to give props to Crul, he was always willing to donate his time to help with training.
Tyress: those kind of people are rare today sadly.
Katheryn Blackadder: Indeed.
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
Katheryn Blackadder: White with black spots. I was looking for a Jane of the Jungle type look. Sort of 50's era pin-up-ish. Sexy but not too... over-sexualized, if that makes sense.
Tyress: *nods*
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
Katheryn Blackadder: The Rock's finisher, the Rock Bottom, aka the reverse Russian leg sweep, aka the armhooklegsweep, aka the side sweep. But for me, it's call The Kat Bottom. What can I say, the DCWF was run by men and they wanted to talk about my bottom.
Tyress: hahahaha
What do you think makes your character special?
Katheryn Blackadder: That's a toughy. I never really thought my character was special, I just drew a crowd because I was pretty shameless about pestering my friends to come to my matches.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: I was the second inductee into the SLCW hall of fame after Waroop Bravin, and I've held the women's championship title. By default and/or dumb luck, I also had the tag team belt with Paula Wilcox in Devastation Inc. I was a replacement, but i helped defend the title twice so it counts. Behind the scenes, I helped build up the training program and was made Head of Training. After Alpin's departure, Eric Stuart took over and made me his Vice President, and after his departure, I rose to rank of President. Not too shabby for someone who came into the game knowing zilch about wrestling.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
Katheryn Blackadder: I think winning the women's title and being inducted into the Hall of Fame at Wrestlefest 1. It was a very emotional day.
Tyress: *nods* I bet it was
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
Katheryn Blackadder: That's another tough question. I don't want to make anyone feel left out. But Misaki, as much as she's always been my toughest opponent, she's fantastic in tag team matches and would be a great partner. From the old days, Danielle Dawes would have been a great partner, too. It's my dream to convince her to come back to SL wrestling.
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: Oh goodness, I don't know. I've worked my way up from a noob who didn't know anything about wrestling, to owning and presiding over the longest running fed in SL wrestling. I'm not sure what's left.
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
Katheryn Blackadder: That question is really hard. I've been out of the ring so long, and so many people have come and gone, I keep going back to the stalwarts, the people who've been here as long as I have. It'd be nice to win against Misaki a second time. I suppose that's the dream I've had the longest.
What have been your favorite 5 matches in SLCW/DCWF?
Katheryn Blackadder: This is going way back but one of my favorite matches that made me laugh and made me know this was what I wanted to do was Crul vs. Waroop back at the SLCW. They came out of the back brawling and never made it into the ring, they brawled outside the whole time and the match ended (if that's the right word since it never officially started) in a double dq. I'd never seen anything like it. Any match with Bazza, Jerico, and Mythil doing their "flippy shit" was fun to watch. This wasn't a match but a promo, but the time we made the video where MadMike brained Eric with a bedpan was a lot of fun, and a very popular video if I remember correctly. Horses and her Sidney bears have been fun, it was very funny seeing Sparky (or Sparkles Von Edward Qinworth as he prefers to be called) lose to a teddy bear. In fact, the whole gimmick of Sparky becoming Tara's valet is as funny of a transformation as watching Resin go from being a woman-hating he-man to Tara's valet. Does that count as 5?
Tyress: I say it does count to 5 lol
Who would you like to thank for being there during your adventures of SL wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: Alpin Criss for giving this frustrated neko housewife a chance instead of laughing me out of the gym, which is what I'd expected. Crul Nightfire for taking me under his wing when I needed training. Numbers Rossini for taking care of business and keeping the DCWF going during my recent hiatus, and for always being there when i need someone to talk to. Vince, Misaki, Paula, Horses for their dedication and innovations. Everyone who has made the DCWF what it is today, which is pretty damn amazing, in my opinion.
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
Katheryn Blackadder: A lot of people. Anyone who has stayed with wrestling since the beginning, whether they're with the DCWF or not, if they've stayed with it for this long and are still enjoying what they're doing, that's awesome. And the innovators, those who take the NexGen system and do things with it I've never seen done, they blow my mind. And
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Katheryn Blackadder: The Fabulous Moolah and Awesome Kong. I don't watch wrestling on TV often, if at all, but I look up matches on YouTube and these ladies blow my mind. I love women who can kick ass and don't have to fit the pretty "Diva" stereotype.
Tyress: I totally Agree with that. i am not a fan of the Pretty " diva " gimmicks.
Has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Katheryn Blackadder: No. lol
Is there any certain federation that you would love to have work with your federation?
Katheryn Blackadder: I think Give Back 2012 showed that we can work together, that we have become a "wrestling community." I would be happy to work with any of the feds involved again.
Any special matches you haven't booked yet that you would like to see?
Katheryn Blackadder: I have considered writing a storyline between Misaki and me. I haven't fleshed it out yet, but it keeps rolling around in the back of my head.
with Eric Leaving DCWF what was it that made the deciding factor to step up as the President over DCWF and keep it running?
Katheryn Blackadder: I didn't want to let people down. As they say, the show must go on. When Alpin left, it was a very tumultuous time. We were shut down for several months. By the time Eric stepped down, Numbers and I already were running the fed for the most part, and we didn't want to miss a step. So I took up the mantle and we kept going.
What would you consider the top 3 federations in SL, and why do you think so?
Katheryn Blackadder: Well, I've gotta say DCWF of course. We were first and we've survived our share of storm and strife. VWE I have to give props to. They've been around a long time now and kept us on our toes. Number 3 is harder to think of. Perhaps HAWX. The feminist in me loves to see a successful women's federation that isn't cat fights, poseballs, mats, erotic wrestling. That is inspiring to me.
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
Katheryn Blackadder: I think it's great. I like that we can even say "wrestling community," Instead of "feds fighting tooth and nail to claim the top spot and get each other's audiences." That may be my rose-colored perception since I don't get out much, but things seem so much more friendly and less competitive than they used to be.
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?
Katheryn Blackadder: Well, friendlier or not, there's still going to be bad blood between individuals, and some people just enjoy causing drama. They thrive on it. That's not just in wrestling, but any community in SL. Or RL. Sadly it's human nature to drag other people down to make yourself look bigger.
QUESTIONS/
Ten questions game! I will say 10 names/words. Say the first thing that pops into your head.
1: top 5 Legends
A: Alpin Criss, Waroop Bravin, Vince easterwood,Mythil Woyseck,Misaki Yumako,
2: top 4 Hardcore legends
A: Waroop,MadMike Straaf,Antonia Foggarty,Hannibal
3: Top 3 stars in DCWF
A: Mythil Woyseck,Misaki Yumako,BigEvil Mandelkorn
4: top 3 rising stars in DCWF
A: Razer, Rosalind, and JackC.
5: crowd favorite
A: Oh Crowd favorite gotta be...me :)
6: top holy Shit Moment
A: Oh my, there have been so many! Good holy shit or "wtf was that?" holy shit? All I can think of is the latter. Babies used as weapons in a hard core match, a Zamboni used as a weapon in a hard core match, Ari somehow ending up with his head in a horse's ass, Horses and her teddy bear obsession....and the heart punch where MadMike made Ranma spazz out.
7: Top funniest moment outside the ring in DCWF
A: Again, there are so many. One that pops into my head is Waroop building a ramp around the entire Slam City sim so Bazza, Mythil, Jerico, and I could drive the DCWF golf cart to the top of the (now gone) corporate tower.
8: Favorite Referee
A Well, he says he's above wearing black and white now, but Sparkles. He's been our chief, and oftentimes only, referee almost since the beginning.
9: Numbers Or Misaki
A Numbers
10: Favorite Finisher
A: spider twist, just not when it's being used on me
What is the Main thing that your proud of with DCWF?
Katheryn Blackadder: The wrestlers.
what can you tell us about DCWF for those that has never been to DCWF?
Katheryn Blackadder: It's a lot of fun to watch, you'll be amazed what people can do in SL.
what do you think makes DCWF "unique"?
Katheryn Blackadder: The DCWF and its founders basically invented SL wrestling, they were innovators, and we try to keep that tradition alive, like with the development of the NexGen system.
what do you think is DCWF's Weakest side?
Katheryn Blackadder: Complacency. Sometimes we need a push, it's too easy to rest of our laurels, or the laurels of our founders. Everyone, including me, needs a kick in the butt occasionally.
where do you see DCWF being in 3 years from now?
Katheryn Blackadder: Hopefully, getting ready for Wrestlefest 8. A lot depends on where SL will be in 3 years, what changes they make. They set the boundaries, and we push them.
what is your advice to grab new fan's interest to your Federation?
Katheryn Blackadder: Talk about it. Tell your friends, tell strangers, word of mouth is powerful. We're coming up on wrestlefest 5, and I still talk to people who have never heard of wrestling in SL. Just get the word out that you even exist!
Warzone Comment:
Wednesday Warzone @ 3 pm slt. And since it's Halloween it'll be a "WTF Warzone."
Katheryn Blackadder: It's Halloween so you know there are going to be surprises :) Tricks and treats :D
Anything else you would like to say?
Katheryn Blackadder: I love the DCWF and everyone there. Nothing in SL has given me more joy or heartache. But it has been worth it.
I'd like to thank Kat again and please visit DCWF at their show they put some good matches up and have fun while doing so! so i recommend them! and also i'd like to thank those who help plugging this blog without them I honestly couldn't get the word out on the blog if you're interested to be interviewed and get your character's story and your own published hit me up on FB or SL! and those that plugs this blog is VWE,UHW,HAWX,VAW,APW please visit their sites by clicking on their logo and support them by watching their shows! some of the best feds out there for sure!
Tyress: I've been looking forward to this day as Kat is one of my idols at DCWF for her hard work and her stepping up to keep DCWF alive under its hardship
Give us a small introduction about yourself.
Katheryn Blackadder: My name is Katheryn Blackadder, or Kitty Kat, and I've been in SL a little over 5 years now, and about 4 1/2 of those years have been with the DCWF
Tyress: i think i saw you in SLCW one time. xD when Eric brought me there from Seth's club
If you have a Stage/Nickname, how did you come about it?
Yes, the DCWF started out as the SLCW, until Second Life clamped down on the usage of their name or initials in company names. Speaking of Eric, he dubbed me Kitty Kat, but I always wanted Jungle Kat to be my inring name, because I'm a leopard and all.
why did you pick a Leopard?
Katheryn Blackadder: I had created the leopard avatar for fun, because I love being a neko. But then I started thinking how could I best use this av, and wrestling came to mind.
Tyress: thats a pretty interesting idea you came up with
Katheryn Blackadder: I think the idea struck when I was building my neko AO and found body builder animations.
How did you find out about Second Life and made you join?
Katheryn Blackadder: I love playing The Sims, and I heard about SL on LiveJournal, my friends were discussing it. I thought it'd be like the Sims only I'd get to talk to other people instead of myself.
Tyress: seems The Sims is giving alot of the female wrestlers and staff members out there their way to find SL
How did you find out about SL Wrestling and how did you come to join it?
Katheryn Blackadder: Well, I'd built this macho leopard woman av, with the body builder animations, and I was working at a "newbie friendly hang out" as a volunteer. It didn't seem to fit. So I started thinking what would be a better fit, and did a search for wrestling. SLCW was the first hit.
What made you decide to join SL Wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: I'll tell you what I told Alpin Criss when he asked me that: I was a frustrated housewife with a lot of aggression to work out. That probably wouldn't fly on an application today, but it was good enough back in the day.
Tyress: Wow thats quite a reason to join what was Alpin's Reaction?
Katheryn Blackadder: Laughter, if i remember correctly. He gave me the system, showed me the ropes, and set me loose on other wrestlers.
Who was your favorite Opponent to face in SLCW days?
Katheryn Blackadder: Probably Crul Nightfire. It was fun piledriving a guy twice or three times my size. To this day, he complains I was trying to break his neck.
Tyress: and were you trying to break his neck?
Katheryn Blackadder: He wrote that spot! I actually did fewer piledrivers than he'd wanted! I claim innocence!
How long have you been in SL wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: Over 4 1/2 years now. I made my debut at the first April Fools, Hardcore Rules in 2008 against Misaki Yumako.
Tyress: thats quite an opponent to face for your debut
Who Won?
Katheryn Blackadder: Misaki. She's always been my toughest opponent. Submission moves are my weakness.
What federations have you been in?
SLCW/DCWF
Who was your trainer(s)?
Katheryn Blackadder: Back in the beginning, we didn't have trainers, per se. It was more like, whoever had more experience was expected to train the newbies. Remember, SL wrestling was still in its infancy, and we were all feeling our way through it, figuring out what worked and what didn't. Still, again I have to give props to Crul, he was always willing to donate his time to help with training.
Tyress: those kind of people are rare today sadly.
Katheryn Blackadder: Indeed.
What color(s) are your in-ring attire?
Katheryn Blackadder: White with black spots. I was looking for a Jane of the Jungle type look. Sort of 50's era pin-up-ish. Sexy but not too... over-sexualized, if that makes sense.
Tyress: *nods*
What is the name of your finishers, and what are they?
Katheryn Blackadder: The Rock's finisher, the Rock Bottom, aka the reverse Russian leg sweep, aka the armhooklegsweep, aka the side sweep. But for me, it's call The Kat Bottom. What can I say, the DCWF was run by men and they wanted to talk about my bottom.
Tyress: hahahaha
What do you think makes your character special?
Katheryn Blackadder: That's a toughy. I never really thought my character was special, I just drew a crowd because I was pretty shameless about pestering my friends to come to my matches.
What have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: I was the second inductee into the SLCW hall of fame after Waroop Bravin, and I've held the women's championship title. By default and/or dumb luck, I also had the tag team belt with Paula Wilcox in Devastation Inc. I was a replacement, but i helped defend the title twice so it counts. Behind the scenes, I helped build up the training program and was made Head of Training. After Alpin's departure, Eric Stuart took over and made me his Vice President, and after his departure, I rose to rank of President. Not too shabby for someone who came into the game knowing zilch about wrestling.
What would you consider the top moment of your career to date, and why?
Katheryn Blackadder: I think winning the women's title and being inducted into the Hall of Fame at Wrestlefest 1. It was a very emotional day.
Tyress: *nods* I bet it was
Do you have a dream tag team partner and/or stable?
Katheryn Blackadder: That's another tough question. I don't want to make anyone feel left out. But Misaki, as much as she's always been my toughest opponent, she's fantastic in tag team matches and would be a great partner. From the old days, Danielle Dawes would have been a great partner, too. It's my dream to convince her to come back to SL wrestling.
Do you have any dream achievements to accomplish in SL Wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: Oh goodness, I don't know. I've worked my way up from a noob who didn't know anything about wrestling, to owning and presiding over the longest running fed in SL wrestling. I'm not sure what's left.
Do you have any dream matches, or wish for any dream matches?
Katheryn Blackadder: That question is really hard. I've been out of the ring so long, and so many people have come and gone, I keep going back to the stalwarts, the people who've been here as long as I have. It'd be nice to win against Misaki a second time. I suppose that's the dream I've had the longest.
What have been your favorite 5 matches in SLCW/DCWF?
Katheryn Blackadder: This is going way back but one of my favorite matches that made me laugh and made me know this was what I wanted to do was Crul vs. Waroop back at the SLCW. They came out of the back brawling and never made it into the ring, they brawled outside the whole time and the match ended (if that's the right word since it never officially started) in a double dq. I'd never seen anything like it. Any match with Bazza, Jerico, and Mythil doing their "flippy shit" was fun to watch. This wasn't a match but a promo, but the time we made the video where MadMike brained Eric with a bedpan was a lot of fun, and a very popular video if I remember correctly. Horses and her Sidney bears have been fun, it was very funny seeing Sparky (or Sparkles Von Edward Qinworth as he prefers to be called) lose to a teddy bear. In fact, the whole gimmick of Sparky becoming Tara's valet is as funny of a transformation as watching Resin go from being a woman-hating he-man to Tara's valet. Does that count as 5?
Tyress: I say it does count to 5 lol
Who would you like to thank for being there during your adventures of SL wrestling?
Katheryn Blackadder: Alpin Criss for giving this frustrated neko housewife a chance instead of laughing me out of the gym, which is what I'd expected. Crul Nightfire for taking me under his wing when I needed training. Numbers Rossini for taking care of business and keeping the DCWF going during my recent hiatus, and for always being there when i need someone to talk to. Vince, Misaki, Paula, Horses for their dedication and innovations. Everyone who has made the DCWF what it is today, which is pretty damn amazing, in my opinion.
Who inspires you in SL wrestling and why?
Katheryn Blackadder: A lot of people. Anyone who has stayed with wrestling since the beginning, whether they're with the DCWF or not, if they've stayed with it for this long and are still enjoying what they're doing, that's awesome. And the innovators, those who take the NexGen system and do things with it I've never seen done, they blow my mind. And
Who inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Katheryn Blackadder: The Fabulous Moolah and Awesome Kong. I don't watch wrestling on TV often, if at all, but I look up matches on YouTube and these ladies blow my mind. I love women who can kick ass and don't have to fit the pretty "Diva" stereotype.
Tyress: I totally Agree with that. i am not a fan of the Pretty " diva " gimmicks.
Has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Katheryn Blackadder: No. lol
Is there any certain federation that you would love to have work with your federation?
Katheryn Blackadder: I think Give Back 2012 showed that we can work together, that we have become a "wrestling community." I would be happy to work with any of the feds involved again.
Any special matches you haven't booked yet that you would like to see?
Katheryn Blackadder: I have considered writing a storyline between Misaki and me. I haven't fleshed it out yet, but it keeps rolling around in the back of my head.
with Eric Leaving DCWF what was it that made the deciding factor to step up as the President over DCWF and keep it running?
Katheryn Blackadder: I didn't want to let people down. As they say, the show must go on. When Alpin left, it was a very tumultuous time. We were shut down for several months. By the time Eric stepped down, Numbers and I already were running the fed for the most part, and we didn't want to miss a step. So I took up the mantle and we kept going.
What would you consider the top 3 federations in SL, and why do you think so?
Katheryn Blackadder: Well, I've gotta say DCWF of course. We were first and we've survived our share of storm and strife. VWE I have to give props to. They've been around a long time now and kept us on our toes. Number 3 is harder to think of. Perhaps HAWX. The feminist in me loves to see a successful women's federation that isn't cat fights, poseballs, mats, erotic wrestling. That is inspiring to me.
What is your opinion of the SL wrestling community?
Katheryn Blackadder: I think it's great. I like that we can even say "wrestling community," Instead of "feds fighting tooth and nail to claim the top spot and get each other's audiences." That may be my rose-colored perception since I don't get out much, but things seem so much more friendly and less competitive than they used to be.
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?
Katheryn Blackadder: Well, friendlier or not, there's still going to be bad blood between individuals, and some people just enjoy causing drama. They thrive on it. That's not just in wrestling, but any community in SL. Or RL. Sadly it's human nature to drag other people down to make yourself look bigger.
QUESTIONS/
Ten questions game! I will say 10 names/words. Say the first thing that pops into your head.
1: top 5 Legends
A: Alpin Criss, Waroop Bravin, Vince easterwood,Mythil Woyseck,Misaki Yumako,
2: top 4 Hardcore legends
A: Waroop,MadMike Straaf,Antonia Foggarty,Hannibal

A: Razer, Rosalind, and JackC.
5: crowd favorite
A: Oh Crowd favorite gotta be...me :)
6: top holy Shit Moment
A: Oh my, there have been so many! Good holy shit or "wtf was that?" holy shit? All I can think of is the latter. Babies used as weapons in a hard core match, a Zamboni used as a weapon in a hard core match, Ari somehow ending up with his head in a horse's ass, Horses and her teddy bear obsession....and the heart punch where MadMike made Ranma spazz out.
7: Top funniest moment outside the ring in DCWF
A: Again, there are so many. One that pops into my head is Waroop building a ramp around the entire Slam City sim so Bazza, Mythil, Jerico, and I could drive the DCWF golf cart to the top of the (now gone) corporate tower.
8: Favorite Referee
A Well, he says he's above wearing black and white now, but Sparkles. He's been our chief, and oftentimes only, referee almost since the beginning.
9: Numbers Or Misaki
A Numbers
10: Favorite Finisher
A: spider twist, just not when it's being used on me
What is the Main thing that your proud of with DCWF?
Katheryn Blackadder: The wrestlers.
what can you tell us about DCWF for those that has never been to DCWF?

what do you think makes DCWF "unique"?
Katheryn Blackadder: The DCWF and its founders basically invented SL wrestling, they were innovators, and we try to keep that tradition alive, like with the development of the NexGen system.
what do you think is DCWF's Weakest side?
Katheryn Blackadder: Complacency. Sometimes we need a push, it's too easy to rest of our laurels, or the laurels of our founders. Everyone, including me, needs a kick in the butt occasionally.
where do you see DCWF being in 3 years from now?
Katheryn Blackadder: Hopefully, getting ready for Wrestlefest 8. A lot depends on where SL will be in 3 years, what changes they make. They set the boundaries, and we push them.
what is your advice to grab new fan's interest to your Federation?
Katheryn Blackadder: Talk about it. Tell your friends, tell strangers, word of mouth is powerful. We're coming up on wrestlefest 5, and I still talk to people who have never heard of wrestling in SL. Just get the word out that you even exist!
