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

any last words?
Vince: It shouldn't matter which fed we're in or how we do things, we all need to work together as a community and try to not back-stab or put each other down. All that leads to is dissension and destruction from the inside. If we can peacefully coincide and help each other, I can see the community and the feds in it lasting a very long time.

Nova's interview with Brakman
give us a small introduction about yourself
Brakman: Helloooooo. My name is Brakman Wylder and I am in the VWE. I'm married to my best friend Cyrece, and I guess I'm pretty normal......maybe. People know me by the beard.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Brakman: People associate me with the beard. Its something that I got early in my career when I was looking for a way to stand out from the crowd. I'm also known by BMW to some.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Brakman: I was actually watching TV one day and saw it on True Life. I forgot about it after that, but I must have seen an ad on another website that lead me here. I decided it might be fun, so I joined. Back then, I almost left Second Life because I was having major lag issues. A few weeks later I came back and got used to the lag I had and days turned into months, years now.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Brakman: I've been a wrestling fan in real life most of my life. Eventually, I typed wrestling in search and found a few places. I visited some of them and eventually found RAGE. At RAGE they did MMA and were just starting their wrestling promotion. I liked the people, and encountered a few other wrestlers who would become my friends down the line. Once I got the HUD I decided to try it out, never expecting that this would turn into something I do every week. The matches just kept coming, leading to me wanting to have more and wanting to get better so I could entertain more people.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Brakman: I love to entertain people and I love wrestling. When I had my first match, the feeling was indescribable. Going out there and getting people to cheer or boo (They were boo'ing me at the time) was such a rush. The people I met also kept me around and encouraged me to keep going.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Brakman: Thats a tough one haha. I've done alot in my career, and I think I've accomplished everything I've wanted to do. I guess there are a few things like getting an Xtreme Title, having another career defining promo (when I went face). It would be amazing to get Match of the Year at some point. In the end, Its all about bringing people up, bringing in the next group of performers and making sure they're set.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Brakman: I know what I try to convey, I'm not sure if it's why people actually like me lol. I try to be honest with the fans, not be such a character or act like some guy who loves to constantly shout about how great he is. Despite the gimmick, I'm just like everyone else, working to get where I want. If that isnt what makes it special to the fans, I have no clue lol. I've always said I'm extremely lucky to have gotten as far as I have, so hopefully I'm doing something right.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Brakman: Brak-driver- It's a modified piledriver. I also have a sleeper hold thats called the Brak-Lock. I'm not very creative with names lol. I used to use the shooting star press as a finisher, a few people named that one different things but nothing ever fully stuck.
I think one of those names for the shooting star press was the Black Diamond lol
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Brakman: I've been in SL wrestling for about 2 years and 6 months. My first match was actually in October of 2009, but I was training for months before that.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Brakman: Any match with Shinja turns into a dream match. We had a great triple threat match a while back. I would try to have something similar, maybe Brak VS Shinja VS Kayden. Make it a ladder match! The upcoming Elimination Dome is somewhat of a dream match for me too, the people in it are great, and its in the dome. I'm not usually one for stipulation matches, but that ladder match would be epic with the elements each of us would throw in.
and another one.
I would love for me and Cyrece to have a mixed tag match at some point. She knows how to wrestle and it would be so much fun to do that with her. Coming up with tag team moves, and working together
who would you want to face against you and Cyrece?
Brakman Thats a good question! I'm guessing it would be us VS the forces of heelish badguy-ness lol. As far as specifics, I'm not sure, I would just be happy to team with her!
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Brakman: The 4-way Bombshell Match at WrestleSeries 1 would definitely be on that list. I loved Me VS Shinja VS Wolfy. My ladder match with Alexius was one of my favorites to wrestle. Adune VS MadMax was amazing and the 5th one.....hmmmm......The TLC match at WrestleSeries III comes to mind :) My favorite to wrestle might have been Me VS Ben at WrestlerSeries III. The emotion in the air that night was perfect. It was exactly how WrestleSeries should feel. Unfortunately I dont get the chance to catch very may other feds shows, but I would loved to catch a Drewski match sometime. I know I'm forgetting a few and I'll be kicking myself after when I remember lol.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Brakman: About 2 years, 3 months
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Brakman: First Ever Grand Slam Champion in VWE. 2 Time World Champion. I won Superstar of the Year last year and Face of the Year. First person to Main Event 2 WrestleSeries'. Most of all, I met my wife Cyrece through SL wrestling. She started as a friend and we were like that for a long time before we finally realized how much we cared for each other. Thats really something thats going to last longer than any title run.
do you have a Dream Tag team PArtner/Stable members?
Brakman: For tag, Cyrece. For stable, maybe Big Money meets The Cowboy Drewski. Maybe get a Brak, Shinja, MadMax, Jenn Stable going. I would stick out like a sore thumb, but it would be fun as hell.
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Brakman: THATS a tough one!
Xtreme Rules Match, Shinja VS MadMax VS Jennf VS Adune
who trained you?
Brakman: Paula Wilcox trained me when I started. I'd want her in the stable too!
Tyress: oh really? thats interesting
Brakman: Yeah, back before I had a beard, and I had newb hair. She's a good teacher.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Carrer to now can you tell us about that and why?
Brakman: A few come to mind. It's a toss up between the surprise of getting on voice for the first time and firing my manager Jessica Hykova. I was so nervous. I had the microphone for weeks, and only 2 people knew I did so it was fun to get that pop out of people hearing me for the first time. Another one, was BeachBrawl 2010. I won the World Heavyweight Title for the first time there, and me and Cy had started dating a little while before that. It was great to be able to have those 2 things going for me in such a short time. Finally, WrestleSeries III. After a year and 3 months of not having the title, everything was finally set. So it was the feeling of finally getting what was due. I drew inspiration from everything I has learned at that point. The Eddie Guerrero armband, the gold and white tights from WrestlerSeries II gave me the sense of redemption, fixing what went wrong there. Having my friend Vicious ringside. Cyrece staying up late to watch it, which I am so grateful for. It was like everything lead to tha t 1 match. The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Brakman: Paula for training me, Vicious and Morgan for cheering me, Jessica for making sure I didnt look like a noob lol The people I have matches with, for letting me do what I enjoy and the people who come to the shows to see it. Most of all, my wife Cyrece, for keeping me sane in the crazy SL world, and being the best best friend anyone could have.
Also
Jenn for sharing her wisdom. Kimberly Soulstar for supporting me when I was near the bottom, and again, Cyrece for being a part of this crazy SL wrestling world with me.
Theres really alot of people I should thank
The list goes on and on.
I've always said
I'm just a quiet guy with a beard
and
I'm I'm truly lucky to be where I am. I got there with the help of friends, people who believed in me when the time came
straight up luck
So the best way to thank them
is to give people a helping hand, just as they did me.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Brakman: First I was in the RAGE Wrestling promotion, then I joined XWA which turned into VWE.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Brakman: Shinja and Jenn, for how innovative they are, and how long they've been around. Paula for her selflessness. Adune for his pure in ring ability. That ability is something that you dont see in very many wrestlers. Benja for his comedy, he's able to make anything easier to handle with a few words. The guys and girls coming up, its tough to get far in wrestling, and there they are, every week doing their matches, constantly trying to entertain. Its inspiring to see people stick with it and work their way up.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Brakman: Chris Jericho for his in-ring ability and how much he's able to pull off different character changes, HBK (The first match I ever saw was one of his), Eddie Guerrero because he was so entertaining and seemed like he'd be a good friend to have.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Brakman: My color scheme is Green and Black.
If Brakman would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be?
Brakman:a Ladder
FED OWNERS questions:
has there been any regrets in your decisions so far?
Brakman: No regrets at all.
Every Decision
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
Brakman: Bombshell Match at WS 1. TLC Match at WS III. Max VS Adune. Me VS Kayden. Derrick VS Tony WS III
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Brakman: Derrick and Tony, Akasha and Vendetta, Me and Alexius, any of Elisa's feuds, any of Acheron's feuds
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Brakman: Inferno Match between Shinja and Madmax would be epic.
has it been easy being the co-owner of a federation?
Brakman: Definitely not easy lol. Theres alot of decisions, and arranging. It's worth it though, you get to make people happy and make sure things stay on track so people enjoy the show.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Brakman: I think people are bored. Some people try to drag others down because they have egos and want to act big and bad in SL to try to impose their will. People talk, they shouldn't, but it seems like people in SL hear something, and assume it to be true without actually going in to find out.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Brakman:VWE because of how much we've evolved, DCWF for how long they've been around and their staying power, and OEW for the different way they went about becoming a fed.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Brakman: I think its interesting. Some people cause problems, but thats how the world is. Alot of people have said it before me, theres alot of drama. I wish everyone would focus on their feds, and not assume, question, or denounce other feds for the way they do things. But asking for that is like asking for the same thing in real life. Rule #1 for me is basically what we were all taught as children, do unto others as you would like done unto you. But people dont seem to grasp that alot of the time. Do things the right way and things work out, do them the selfish, or underhanded way and you sink like a stone. It has improved lately though, I'm seeing feds actually hang around each other more recently which is a start.
Bottom line: Be nice :D
Ten Question Game! i will say 10 names/words say the first thing that pops up in your head..

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

The guys and girls coming up, its tough to get far in wrestling, and there they are, every week doing their matches, constantly trying to entertain. Its inspiring to see people stick with it and work their way up.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Brakman: Chris Jericho for his in-ring ability and how much he's able to pull off different character changes, HBK (The first match I ever saw was one of his), Eddie Guerrero because he was so entertaining and seemed like he'd be a good friend to have.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Brakman: My color scheme is Green and Black.
If Brakman would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be?
Brakman:a Ladder
FED OWNERS questions:
has there been any regrets in your decisions so far?
Brakman: No regrets at all.
Every Decision
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
Brakman: Bombshell Match at WS 1. TLC Match at WS III. Max VS Adune. Me VS Kayden. Derrick VS Tony WS III
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Brakman: Derrick and Tony, Akasha and Vendetta, Me and Alexius, any of Elisa's feuds, any of Acheron's feuds
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Brakman: Inferno Match between Shinja and Madmax would be epic.
has it been easy being the co-owner of a federation?
Brakman: Definitely not easy lol. Theres alot of decisions, and arranging. It's worth it though, you get to make people happy and make sure things stay on track so people enjoy the show.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Brakman: I think people are bored. Some people try to drag others down because they have egos and want to act big and bad in SL to try to impose their will. People talk, they shouldn't, but it seems like people in SL hear something, and assume it to be true without actually going in to find out.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Brakman:VWE because of how much we've evolved, DCWF for how long they've been around and their staying power, and OEW for the different way they went about becoming a fed.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Brakman: I think its interesting. Some people cause problems, but thats how the world is. Alot of people have said it before me, theres alot of drama. I wish everyone would focus on their feds, and not assume, question, or denounce other feds for the way they do things. But asking for that is like asking for the same thing in real life. Rule #1 for me is basically what we were all taught as children, do unto others as you would like done unto you. But people dont seem to grasp that alot of the time. Do things the right way and things work out, do them the selfish, or underhanded way and you sink like a stone. It has improved lately though, I'm seeing feds actually hang around each other more recently which is a start.
Bottom line: Be nice :D

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

Nova's interview with Seth Cameron UNEDITED
Last Interview of the year this will be UNEDITED and UNCENSORED. all words is from Seth himself.
I will continue the interviews after Christmas/New Year enjoy...
give us a small introduction about yourself
Well let's see... My name is Seth Cameron and I'm an Alcoholi.... oh right Wrestling. Most people know me or know of me, either in a good way or bad way. Either way, I'm one of the Co-founders and Owner of Virtual Wrestling Entertainment. From 2009 to 2011 I was the Executive President of the company. I guess you could say for a time period, I was just about everything. The Builder, Scripter, Graphic Artist, Set Designer, Head Booker during 2009, and wrestling wise, I guess that speaks for itself. Five time VWE world Heavyweight Champion, One time VWE United States Champion, 2010 Hall of Fame Inductee, and One of the mainstay faces for a company I truly love.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
The Eliminator. It's a long history actually. It spans from my in ring name during my NWA/CSPW independant wrestling days. I inherited it from my father who was a low carder for WCW/WWF back in the 80's. It's sorta been a family thing in real life. I've always used the name for wrestling related activities.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Actually, I was introduced to Second Life by a friend (Actually Charisma Aries's Real life Brother). I got into Club security for a few strip clubs and eventually managing and part owning a few clubs back in 2004. I dabbled with Mainland real estate before Islands were brought into Second Life, and was one of the lucky companies that made a good amount of money which later funded things VWE would acquire.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
I had an idea after learning to build within Second Life to create a wrestling company called VCW. It was intended to be more of a game than SL Wrestling is today, self reliant and allowing people to play similar to something like Smackdown Vs. Raw. I had a few partners in the idea with me, and we put a good amount of money into producing various things for the idea. Little did we ever know there was actually a Wrestling community on Second Life called SLCW. I met Ivan Halfpint and Icy Blackburn for the first time through VCW's building process. A few months after, one of my partners decided to leave Second Life, which put the idea on hold. We tried to continue the project again two other times, but little by little my partners weren't satisfied with not making money off of people. I just wanted to bring entertainment to people. I took a couple years off, while developing other independant games, and groups for games. I signed back into SL in mid 2009 and was messaged by Sidney Washborne who brought
me over to JW Beeswing's AHWF arena. I saw a lot of heart in JW and his quest to make something big. Until then few had ever really achieved the greatness that was SLCW/DCWF. A lot of companies were small, and using the same people, sharing and trying to survive long enough to hold a single show. It was JW that actually held a meeting with a few other companies, Loody's GCW, Sam's PWL, Akasha's Fed that was starting to be built, and JW's AHWF. They united together to create something bigger. They brought me into the equation knowing that I started the idea of VCW, that I had been 'in league' against Ivan and Alpin. In Enemy Territory, you could say. Long story short, they elected myself and Sid to lead the charge of this company. As time passed, I was handling most of the work, the building, and the overall ideas, alongside Loody. We restructured half a dozen times, and in the end I ended up the Owner and President of the VWE, even though I came in just to help them get off their feet. I guess you could say I became dedicated to making a place that could rival DCWF in size, dedication, and structure. A lot of people think
I became dedicated to making a place that could rival DCWF in size, dedication, and structure. A lot of people think, I did this in spite of them, when in all actuality, I've always respected the members of the DCWF, just not all the leaderships. Needless to say, SL Wrestling and Myself were joint by accident.
n 2006,
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Well, I stumbled into it unknowingly with VCW, and again by being placed into position with XWA/VWE. I never really planned to be apart of SL Wrestling. Though Alpin and I did laugh about my return. I was actually considering joining DCWF back in mid 2009, when I returned. I was thinking about pitching in and joining up with them. the same day I considered it, was when Sid messaged me and I learned Alpin had left and made the ACPWS go public. With Alpin gone, I decided to looked around a little longer and see what the community was like. He once said to me, around that time, he wished he knew I was back, so we could have joined up together to create something like the VWE together. We once were at odds with eachother but I have a complete respect for everything he has done, and those before him.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Honestly, I've accomplished just about everything one can in many ways. My heart and soul will always be VWE, and with those that continue it on. I've been it's World Champion, I've been the guy that's done just about everything one can in the company. I've faced some of the best talent one can have the privilege to face. I've been palced in their history as a Hall of Famer. As a Promoter, I've helped build and grow a company that is two years has suceeded beyond so many other attempts. VWE in those two short years, did things many thought impossible before. From the two live streamed shows a week with a regular SL TV deal, to housing nearly 100+ active roster members at one time, to packing sims with 70+ people for major events, bringing in new names never heard of before, innovating the barely existing use of Voice promos, Development of production with high end entrance videos, stage light and effect designs, coining the now common term "Free-per-view" for major events, to having events with history break ing moments never before seen. In some small part, I helped VWE accomplish this as it's Leader. I couldn't dream of accomplishing anymore in SL Wrestling.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
I don't know if I would say special. "The Eliminator" everyone knows is extremely different than what I had planned. When I started in VWE, I planned to be a midcard in the U.S. and Xtreme title catagories. I wanted to progress slowly. Unfortunately, we don't always get what we want. The major misconception is that in order to be the best to have to put people over by losing. Many have that mentality in this game. Seth Cameron was VWE's 'measuring stick'. When our roster was first growing, three people had the courage to do voice promos. Myself, Loody, and Curt. Benbe shortly followed. Loody and myself took to the spotlight due to the limited amount of main eventers. In a way I was pushed into being the 'Seth Cameron' I have been for two years, because the VWE needed it. 'The Eliminator' is that one cocky motherf**ker that you have to get around, or go through to get to the top. Whether you beat him, or simply go toe to toe with him, you gain respect in every sense. As my career progressed, the staff would a
[20:27] The Eliminator™ Seth Cameron (seth.cameron): ward me the world title to transition it, and prepare the next person to be a champion that would be persona stand toe to toe with Seth Cameron. I guess, My character is special, because he's not like other characters that take a loss more often than a win to put other's over. To get over Seth, was an accomplishment as was simply getting in a ring with him.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
I have two, The Elimination Device, which is a Inverted Tombstone Piledriver. The second never had a name, so I'll give it one finally, Exclusively just for this Blog. I'll call it... The Last Resort. Generally it is my quick finish. I mainly kip up (or nip up to SL Wrestling people) and nail a Superkick to my opponent. It's usually a quick and devastating blow that gets me the edge or in some cases win over my opponent.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Well officially since 2009, but i've been around the SL Wrestling scene for God knows how long. Couldn't remember to tell you honestly.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Surprisingly yes, a few of them. I've managed to face some of the best opponents including Brakman Wylder, Benbe Kirax, Curt Bombastic, Jenn Parkin, Derrick Cult, Loody Graves, and many more. However, I always wanted to face Alpin Criss in a match, as well as Adune Snowpaw, Shinja Ugajin, and I would have loved to face Sam the Man one on one. Needless to say, I'm retired now so I don't dream as much anymore. Just to state as well, I would have loved to face Jenn Parkin in a Hardcore Match once in my career.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
That's a tough one, I really don't go out beyond VWE walls, due to how much work I do on a constant basis. I'll say I have seen bits and pieces of matches from SLCW/DCWF. They have talented individuals like Drewski Hoxley, Misaki, Celtdan, Ari Lane, and many more past and present that I will give complete credit to their talent. Match wise, I would say 1. The Elimination Royale. Both 2010 and 2011. Outstanding job in both by 30 competitors. 2. Adune Snowpaw Vs. Mad Max Vaher 3. Jenn Parkin Vs. Tyress Serevi WrestleSeries II 4. Myself Vs. Benbe Kirax (every match) 5. Shinja Ugajin Vs. Alpin Criss at the TNT event.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
since it started, 2009.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Well as a promoter, nearly everything. As a Wrestler, I'm a five time VWE World Heavyweight Champion, One time VWE United States Champion, Undefeated at WrestleSeries (2-0), Ended Bryce's Undefeated Streak (Damn right Bryce, that's an accomplishment), 2010 VWE Hall of Famer, and had some of the best matches with people I truly respect and am honored to have faced.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Absolutely. Tag-Team with Benbe Kirax, something we always wanted to do. Stable TNR: The New Revolution, I'd go with Bryce, Myself and Benbe this time around character wise.
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Well I have been a booker for over 365 days, but if I had the entire SL Wrestling roster... Hmm... Brakman Wylder Vs. Drewski Hoxley Vs. Sam the Man Vs. DavidHawk Actor Vs. Shinja Ugajin Vs. Adune Snowpaw in an Elimination Chamber Match.
who trained you?
I never was formally trained per say. I did receive some training from Tony Hanson (aka TonyDaTiger) and mostly from Akasha Faulkes. Both of them taught me various things on spot, Tony actually was teaching me during my first matches. I mainly self taught myself the ACPWS.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Top moment... I think I would have to say The entirety of Beachbrawl 2011. After facing and defeating Derrick, I lost the World title to Benbe when he cashed in his contract, only to retake the world title without even having to face him. It was such a dick move, and it was awesome. The reaction the entire night had was filled with rollercoaster moments, and I loved every minute of it. It was fun.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Wow.. A few people really. Akasha for always supporting me, VCW, and VWE. Jenn Parkin for trusting me and my sometimes half baked ideas. Ever since HKWF merged into VWE, Jenn has been supportive and dedicated to VWE, always helping behind the scenes since the early days of VWE. Benbe and You for always being there with me with every game I play and build. Derrick, Brak, Adune, MadMax and every person that has been dedicated to VWE since they arrived here. Alpin for supporting VWE in it's early days, and truly building a foundation we all partake in. Most of All, Wildfire Morgwain who kept me sane for the last one and a half out of two years with the VWE.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Technically one, VWE. Though I did start the VCW movement which never took off.
Virtual Wrestling Entertainment and Virtual Championship Wrestling
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Three people, even though I came before two of them. Jenn Parkin, Brakman Wylder, and Adune Snowpaw. Jenn has tradition behind her. From SLCW/DCWF to HKWF to VWE, she's been someone I think everyone respects. There's a reason she became a World champion in VWE. She has deserved and earned the highest acolydes in this industry. Not to mention her Hardcore matches are always top notch. She's the only character I know of that can be completely silent, yet have a voice in her actions that I believe. Brakman Wylder simply because in my opinion, he is the best of all time. His skills outmatch so many in this industry, his fan base is gigantic, his promos are top notch. He is the modern day Dynamite Kid of SL Wrestling (The Dynamite Kid that was ranked #1 for years by Pro Wrestling.) Everything that he does is done with a Chuck Norris grace. Like Chuck Norris, You are all allowed in the SL Wrestling community because Brakman Wylder allows it (just a joke lol but who knows the beard.) Adune Snowpaw. This is a guy that is traditional, true, and always gives 110%. There's no doubt in my mind that he is one of the few hearts of VWE. He gives everything he can to his matches, his company, and his peers. He has Skill, he has character, he has class, and he has honor. There's no better than that.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Mark Calaway aka Undertaker, Epic dedicated Legend and I'm personally biased for good reasons. Adam Copeland aka Edge, brilliant showman, with a wonderful skill set in the ring. Truly a legend that was taken from wrestling too early. The Rock actually a bit as well, especially his promos.
If you had a custom Attire what is the colors?
I did have custom attire. Red, silver(or white) and black. Different variations, usually with an E logo on the crotch, and barbed wire design down the leg.
FED OWNERS questions:
what made you decide to start your own Federation?
Five other people that needed help, and had hope.
has there been any regrets?
A Few honestly. As a Fed owner, you can't make everyone happy, not even yourself. You quickly become hated because you don't see eye to eye with someone else, and you're the one calling the shots. You get on bad terms with former friends because you look out for your company the best way you can. I have my regrets of things that happened, but I don't regret making the decisions I have.
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
I think I pretty much did already with the other 5, since I don't get out to other shows much. But to replace the one with me, add in Brakman Wylder Vs. Sam the Man at Elimination Royale.
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Oooh that's a toughie. Let's see... 1. Brakman and Sam 2. Me and Benbe 3. Jenn and Kim (though I accidentally cheated them out of their final match, I'm still sorry about that), 3. Adune and Benbe 4. Acheron and Wolfy 5. Vendetta and Akasha.
Again, I'm not familiar with other companies, and I admit to my ignorance with it. I'm sure they have had wonderful storylines.
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Elimination Dome, Brakman Wylder Vs. Derrick Cult Vs. Bryce Ketterley Vs. Adune Snowpaw Vs. MadMax Vaher Vs. Jackson Doune (Make it happen Staff! 2012!)
has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Oh sure, it's been a breeze. You just have to know where to stick the knife in the right wa... Just kidding. No actually it's challenging, hair pulling, agonizing, and soul crushing. There are days you don't even want to sign on Second Life, because you're tried of drama, or in house fighting, or undedicated people, or other companies or individuals slamming you for decisions you make. Anyone that owns a promotion in my eyes or has in the past deserves a f**cking medal for outstanding patience and perservence in a Combat Zone. Needless to say, it's truly rewarding as well at times. Not everyone can hack being a fed owner, and even fewer can be the owner of a company as big as VWE, or even DCWF, and still keep their sanity.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
People that have nothing better to do than talk trash about someone or some place simply because they don't agree with them, were kicked out by them, or simply like to stir blood into shark filled waters. For two years, I've had rumors spread through the SL Wrestling community about me. From I hand myself the world titles, to I purposely trash talked someone, and even claiming I'm some sort of SL Wrestling God. I thought it was clear to the community that I was Hitler based on that awesome video made about me, but oh well. It's petty childish shit honestly. I pay no attention, and believe no rumors without some proper truth behind it. Take it with a grain of Salt. If you hear a rumor about someone saying shit about you, go confront them. Don't sit in a blog and trash talk the person that you know nothing about and have nothing to do with. You know who I'm talking about. Wink Wink.
is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
At this point, no. Look it's nothing against other feds. They are all great for their own reasons, and if they have supporters, they're obviously doing something right. Feds working with feds is counter productive in my eyes. Yeah you get a bigger roster or a bigger co ran event, but you get a bigger headache as well. The worst thing to deal with is two owners that feel they're right about opposite ends. On top of that, Running a promotion is about you working your company to it's heights. You never saw WCW and WWE do a supershow for a reason. It didn't help their cause. They were rival companies for a reason with mutual behind the scenes respect between peers. In my opinion, personally, if you can't run your company independently without having to have an alliance, then maybe you should pack it up, or merge it in. As cold as that sounds. I do respect the newfound appreciation and handshaking from uHw though. Maybe someday, we'll see something brew. VWE just doesn't need extra drama, and in my eyes, that's all alliances become in time.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
There is no Number one, or there's two number ones. DCWF and VWE. They have been for the last two + years (the + for DCWF). VWE has recently cooled down, but I truly believe with it's new leaders it will soar again. Still both of these companies are the dominant force and have been. Well known names and venues. Third on that list would be uHw in my opinion. uWs in my eyes was a rocky beginning, but the dedication Maxine and her entire staff (including members) have put into uHw has been eye changing to me. I see their true nature, intent, and focus. I commend her and her company. Honorable mentions also go to David and Vince for OEW, though I did prefer OEW over DWA, personally (no offense fellas).
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Well, here's where I become even more hated. Lol. My opinion honestly. What is called a community is only half true. You have people that truly care about eachother. Your Drewskis your Scarletts, your Misakis, your Shinjas, your Jenns, your Brakmans, your Alpins, and such. This is 1/3rd of this community. THAT is the ONLY community. 2/3rds of this susposive Community are rumor mongering sharks looking for blood to spill in the water. Each company has it's own community it's within. They have their friends on both sides, and they respect the rival as much as their own company to an extent. They show up, they applaud, boo, and are always respectful. They don't trash someone with little insults, they don't call people names, or chant moronic chants. They respect those they like and even those that perhaps don't in good sportsmanship. Then you have the sharks. The ones that jump from company to company, that spread the rumors, that believe the rumors, that believe they are correct over every owner in SL Wrestlin g existance, that act like total morons at events, and that bad mouth whatever company they left or got fired simply to save face. In my eyes, this community people talk about doesn't exist. Is there a community? It's simply not this Second Life group that expects assimulation of other's to agree with them or be outcasted. VWE has been stand alone for a long time, with many people having friends in DCWF, HAWX, uHw, and more. That's a community of friends. Joint Shows, duo rosters, Wrestling Conventions, and radio shows that pay attention to only one side of the content when claiming to be unbiased. That's not a community, that's simply a Regime.

any last words?
Yeah, actually. People say I should take responsibilty for things in the past that happened with VWE. Here's a fun fact, contrary to what is Rumored about me, I have taken Responsibility for every good or bad thing that has hapened in VWE History. Even taking responsibilty for other people's messes. When a decision is made by staff, it's simply made by staff. I place no blame on others unless they merit it themselves. What was my company was my faults or errors. 5 months ago I left control of the VWE in the hands of the Board of Directors, and the new leaders Jenn and Brak. I still to this day get blame for minor things, and I'm prefectly okay with that. I'm human as is all Fed owners. Don't presume to know anyone nor their work ethics without getting to know them first, otherwise you just prove to be more ignorant than the rumor/s that are spread in this community. Like me Hate me, doesn't matter to me. I keep my word to those I make promises to. Something not many (if hardly any) fed owner can truly claim
and back it up with people that have seen it. I'm no saint, but in my history with VWE, I thought solely of VWE before everything and everyone else. To key indidvudals that want to talk shit about me when you don't know me, don't ask me, or don't confront me. Grow up, get a set of balls (or atleast hypothetically) and confront the person on truths or bullshit before you make stupid comments in public. That said to those key people. To those in this community that are true, that love this sport, that bleed, starve, and work hard for the companies you work for. You have my utmost respect. To me it's not the owners, presidents, or staffs that make these companies last, is the members and the fans, that show up for every event, and support their favorite place to wrestle or watch. I spent two years in the politics of SL Wrestling. With all due respect, NO fed owner is without politics, and if they say they are, they're full of shit. We have blood on our hands equally. Always have. Responsibility is a word thrown around by others that don't always know the meaning. After 2 years in this Industry, I can finally rest, and be pro
around by others that don't always know the meaning. After 2 years in this Industry, I can finally rest, and be proud of my company, and my people. I'm happily retired, enjoying the new adventure in my real life, but I will always cherish, honor, and support Virtual Wrestling Entertainment. So with that said.... You've just been Eliminated.
I will continue the interviews after Christmas/New Year enjoy...
give us a small introduction about yourself
Well let's see... My name is Seth Cameron and I'm an Alcoholi.... oh right Wrestling. Most people know me or know of me, either in a good way or bad way. Either way, I'm one of the Co-founders and Owner of Virtual Wrestling Entertainment. From 2009 to 2011 I was the Executive President of the company.

Five time VWE world Heavyweight Champion, One time VWE United States Champion, 2010 Hall of Fame Inductee, and One of the mainstay faces for a company I truly love.

How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Actually, I was introduced to Second Life by a friend (Actually Charisma Aries's Real life Brother). I got into Club security for a few strip clubs and eventually managing and part owning a few clubs back in 2004. I dabbled with Mainland real estate before Islands were brought into Second Life, and was one of the lucky companies that made a good amount of money which later funded things VWE would acquire.

A lot of companies were small, and using the same people, sharing and trying to survive long enough to hold a single show. It was JW that actually held a meeting with a few other companies, Loody's GCW, Sam's PWL, Akasha's Fed that was starting to be built, and JW's AHWF. They united together to create something bigger. They brought me into the equation knowing that I started the idea of VCW, that I had been 'in league' against Ivan and Alpin. In Enemy Territory, you could say. Long story short, they elected myself and Sid to lead the charge of this company. As time passed, I was handling most of the work, the building, and the overall ideas, alongside Loody. We restructured half a dozen times, and in the end I ended up the Owner and President of the VWE, even though I came in just to help them get off their feet. I guess you could say I became dedicated to making a place that could rival DCWF in size, dedication, and structure. A lot of people think
I became dedicated to making a place that could rival DCWF in size, dedication, and structure. A lot of people think, I did this in spite of them, when in all actuality, I've always respected the members of the DCWF, just not all the leaderships. Needless to say, SL Wrestling and Myself were joint by accident.
n 2006,
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Well, I stumbled into it unknowingly with VCW, and again by being placed into position with XWA/VWE. I never really planned to be apart of SL Wrestling. Though Alpin and I did laugh about my return. I was actually considering joining DCWF back in mid 2009, when I returned. I was thinking about pitching in and joining up with them. the same day I considered it, was when Sid messaged me and I learned Alpin had left and made the ACPWS go public. With Alpin gone, I decided to looked around a little longer and see what the community was like. He once said to me, around that time, he wished he knew I was back, so we could have joined up together to create something like the VWE together. We once were at odds with eachother but I have a complete respect for everything he has done, and those before him.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Honestly, I've accomplished just about everything one can in many ways. My heart and soul will always be VWE, and with those that continue it on. I've been it's World Champion, I've been the guy that's done just about everything one can in the company. I've faced some of the best talent one can have the privilege to face. I've been palced in their history as a Hall of Famer. As a Promoter, I've helped build and grow a company that is two years has suceeded beyond so many other attempts. VWE in those two short years, did things many thought impossible before. From the two live streamed shows a week with a regular SL TV deal, to housing nearly 100+ active roster members at one time, to packing sims with 70+ people for major events, bringing in new names never heard of before, innovating the barely existing use of Voice promos, Development of production with high end entrance videos, stage light and effect designs, coining the now common term "Free-per-view" for major events, to having events with history break ing moments never before seen. In some small part, I helped VWE accomplish this as it's Leader. I couldn't dream of accomplishing anymore in SL Wrestling.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
I don't know if I would say special. "The Eliminator" everyone knows is extremely different than what I had planned. When I started in VWE, I planned to be a midcard in the U.S. and Xtreme title catagories. I wanted to progress slowly. Unfortunately, we don't always get what we want. The major misconception is that in order to be the best to have to put people over by losing. Many have that mentality in this game. Seth Cameron was VWE's 'measuring stick'. When our roster was first growing, three people had the courage to do voice promos. Myself, Loody, and Curt. Benbe shortly followed. Loody and myself took to the spotlight due to the limited amount of main eventers. In a way I was pushed into being the 'Seth Cameron' I have been for two years, because the VWE needed it. 'The Eliminator' is that one cocky motherf**ker that you have to get around, or go through to get to the top. Whether you beat him, or simply go toe to toe with him, you gain respect in every sense. As my career progressed, the staff would a
[20:27] The Eliminator™ Seth Cameron (seth.cameron): ward me the world title to transition it, and prepare the next person to be a champion that would be persona stand toe to toe with Seth Cameron. I guess, My character is special, because he's not like other characters that take a loss more often than a win to put other's over. To get over Seth, was an accomplishment as was simply getting in a ring with him.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
I have two, The Elimination Device, which is a Inverted Tombstone Piledriver. The second never had a name, so I'll give it one finally, Exclusively just for this Blog. I'll call it... The Last Resort. Generally it is my quick finish. I mainly kip up (or nip up to SL Wrestling people) and nail a Superkick to my opponent. It's usually a quick and devastating blow that gets me the edge or in some cases win over my opponent.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Well officially since 2009, but i've been around the SL Wrestling scene for God knows how long. Couldn't remember to tell you honestly.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Surprisingly yes, a few of them. I've managed to face some of the best opponents including Brakman Wylder, Benbe Kirax, Curt Bombastic, Jenn Parkin, Derrick Cult, Loody Graves, and many more. However, I always wanted to face Alpin Criss in a match, as well as Adune Snowpaw, Shinja Ugajin, and I would have loved to face Sam the Man one on one. Needless to say, I'm retired now so I don't dream as much anymore. Just to state as well, I would have loved to face Jenn Parkin in a Hardcore Match once in my career.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
That's a tough one, I really don't go out beyond VWE walls, due to how much work I do on a constant basis. I'll say I have seen bits and pieces of matches from SLCW/DCWF. They have talented individuals like Drewski Hoxley, Misaki, Celtdan, Ari Lane, and many more past and present that I will give complete credit to their talent. Match wise, I would say 1. The Elimination Royale. Both 2010 and 2011. Outstanding job in both by 30 competitors. 2. Adune Snowpaw Vs. Mad Max Vaher 3. Jenn Parkin Vs. Tyress Serevi WrestleSeries II 4. Myself Vs. Benbe Kirax (every match) 5. Shinja Ugajin Vs. Alpin Criss at the TNT event.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
since it started, 2009.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Well as a promoter, nearly everything. As a Wrestler, I'm a five time VWE World Heavyweight Champion, One time VWE United States Champion, Undefeated at WrestleSeries (2-0), Ended Bryce's Undefeated Streak (Damn right Bryce, that's an accomplishment), 2010 VWE Hall of Famer, and had some of the best matches with people I truly respect and am honored to have faced.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Absolutely. Tag-Team with Benbe Kirax, something we always wanted to do. Stable TNR: The New Revolution, I'd go with Bryce, Myself and Benbe this time around character wise.
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Well I have been a booker for over 365 days, but if I had the entire SL Wrestling roster... Hmm... Brakman Wylder Vs. Drewski Hoxley Vs. Sam the Man Vs. DavidHawk Actor Vs. Shinja Ugajin Vs. Adune Snowpaw in an Elimination Chamber Match.
who trained you?
I never was formally trained per say. I did receive some training from Tony Hanson (aka TonyDaTiger) and mostly from Akasha Faulkes. Both of them taught me various things on spot, Tony actually was teaching me during my first matches. I mainly self taught myself the ACPWS.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Top moment... I think I would have to say The entirety of Beachbrawl 2011. After facing and defeating Derrick, I lost the World title to Benbe when he cashed in his contract, only to retake the world title without even having to face him. It was such a dick move, and it was awesome. The reaction the entire night had was filled with rollercoaster moments, and I loved every minute of it. It was fun.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Wow.. A few people really. Akasha for always supporting me, VCW, and VWE. Jenn Parkin for trusting me and my sometimes half baked ideas. Ever since HKWF merged into VWE, Jenn has been supportive and dedicated to VWE, always helping behind the scenes since the early days of VWE. Benbe and You for always being there with me with every game I play and build. Derrick, Brak, Adune, MadMax and every person that has been dedicated to VWE since they arrived here. Alpin for supporting VWE in it's early days, and truly building a foundation we all partake in. Most of All, Wildfire Morgwain who kept me sane for the last one and a half out of two years with the VWE.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Technically one, VWE. Though I did start the VCW movement which never took off.
Virtual Wrestling Entertainment and Virtual Championship Wrestling
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Three people, even though I came before two of them. Jenn Parkin, Brakman Wylder, and Adune Snowpaw. Jenn has tradition behind her. From SLCW/DCWF to HKWF to VWE, she's been someone I think everyone respects. There's a reason she became a World champion in VWE. She has deserved and earned the highest acolydes in this industry. Not to mention her Hardcore matches are always top notch. She's the only character I know of that can be completely silent, yet have a voice in her actions that I believe. Brakman Wylder simply because in my opinion, he is the best of all time. His skills outmatch so many in this industry, his fan base is gigantic, his promos are top notch. He is the modern day Dynamite Kid of SL Wrestling (The Dynamite Kid that was ranked #1 for years by Pro Wrestling.) Everything that he does is done with a Chuck Norris grace. Like Chuck Norris, You are all allowed in the SL Wrestling community because Brakman Wylder allows it (just a joke lol but who knows the beard.) Adune Snowpaw. This is a guy that is traditional, true, and always gives 110%. There's no doubt in my mind that he is one of the few hearts of VWE. He gives everything he can to his matches, his company, and his peers. He has Skill, he has character, he has class, and he has honor. There's no better than that.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Mark Calaway aka Undertaker, Epic dedicated Legend and I'm personally biased for good reasons. Adam Copeland aka Edge, brilliant showman, with a wonderful skill set in the ring. Truly a legend that was taken from wrestling too early. The Rock actually a bit as well, especially his promos.
If you had a custom Attire what is the colors?
I did have custom attire. Red, silver(or white) and black. Different variations, usually with an E logo on the crotch, and barbed wire design down the leg.
FED OWNERS questions:
what made you decide to start your own Federation?
Five other people that needed help, and had hope.
has there been any regrets?
A Few honestly. As a Fed owner, you can't make everyone happy, not even yourself. You quickly become hated because you don't see eye to eye with someone else, and you're the one calling the shots. You get on bad terms with former friends because you look out for your company the best way you can. I have my regrets of things that happened, but I don't regret making the decisions I have.
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
I think I pretty much did already with the other 5, since I don't get out to other shows much. But to replace the one with me, add in Brakman Wylder Vs. Sam the Man at Elimination Royale.
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Oooh that's a toughie. Let's see... 1. Brakman and Sam 2. Me and Benbe 3. Jenn and Kim (though I accidentally cheated them out of their final match, I'm still sorry about that), 3. Adune and Benbe 4. Acheron and Wolfy 5. Vendetta and Akasha.
Again, I'm not familiar with other companies, and I admit to my ignorance with it. I'm sure they have had wonderful storylines.
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Elimination Dome, Brakman Wylder Vs. Derrick Cult Vs. Bryce Ketterley Vs. Adune Snowpaw Vs. MadMax Vaher Vs. Jackson Doune (Make it happen Staff! 2012!)
has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Oh sure, it's been a breeze. You just have to know where to stick the knife in the right wa... Just kidding. No actually it's challenging, hair pulling, agonizing, and soul crushing. There are days you don't even want to sign on Second Life, because you're tried of drama, or in house fighting, or undedicated people, or other companies or individuals slamming you for decisions you make. Anyone that owns a promotion in my eyes or has in the past deserves a f**cking medal for outstanding patience and perservence in a Combat Zone. Needless to say, it's truly rewarding as well at times. Not everyone can hack being a fed owner, and even fewer can be the owner of a company as big as VWE, or even DCWF, and still keep their sanity.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
People that have nothing better to do than talk trash about someone or some place simply because they don't agree with them, were kicked out by them, or simply like to stir blood into shark filled waters. For two years, I've had rumors spread through the SL Wrestling community about me. From I hand myself the world titles, to I purposely trash talked someone, and even claiming I'm some sort of SL Wrestling God. I thought it was clear to the community that I was Hitler based on that awesome video made about me, but oh well. It's petty childish shit honestly. I pay no attention, and believe no rumors without some proper truth behind it. Take it with a grain of Salt. If you hear a rumor about someone saying shit about you, go confront them. Don't sit in a blog and trash talk the person that you know nothing about and have nothing to do with. You know who I'm talking about. Wink Wink.
is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
At this point, no. Look it's nothing against other feds. They are all great for their own reasons, and if they have supporters, they're obviously doing something right. Feds working with feds is counter productive in my eyes. Yeah you get a bigger roster or a bigger co ran event, but you get a bigger headache as well. The worst thing to deal with is two owners that feel they're right about opposite ends. On top of that, Running a promotion is about you working your company to it's heights. You never saw WCW and WWE do a supershow for a reason. It didn't help their cause. They were rival companies for a reason with mutual behind the scenes respect between peers. In my opinion, personally, if you can't run your company independently without having to have an alliance, then maybe you should pack it up, or merge it in. As cold as that sounds. I do respect the newfound appreciation and handshaking from uHw though. Maybe someday, we'll see something brew. VWE just doesn't need extra drama, and in my eyes, that's all alliances become in time.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
There is no Number one, or there's two number ones. DCWF and VWE. They have been for the last two + years (the + for DCWF). VWE has recently cooled down, but I truly believe with it's new leaders it will soar again. Still both of these companies are the dominant force and have been. Well known names and venues. Third on that list would be uHw in my opinion. uWs in my eyes was a rocky beginning, but the dedication Maxine and her entire staff (including members) have put into uHw has been eye changing to me. I see their true nature, intent, and focus. I commend her and her company. Honorable mentions also go to David and Vince for OEW, though I did prefer OEW over DWA, personally (no offense fellas).
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Well, here's where I become even more hated. Lol. My opinion honestly. What is called a community is only half true. You have people that truly care about eachother. Your Drewskis your Scarletts, your Misakis, your Shinjas, your Jenns, your Brakmans, your Alpins, and such. This is 1/3rd of this community. THAT is the ONLY community. 2/3rds of this susposive Community are rumor mongering sharks looking for blood to spill in the water. Each company has it's own community it's within. They have their friends on both sides, and they respect the rival as much as their own company to an extent. They show up, they applaud, boo, and are always respectful. They don't trash someone with little insults, they don't call people names, or chant moronic chants. They respect those they like and even those that perhaps don't in good sportsmanship. Then you have the sharks. The ones that jump from company to company, that spread the rumors, that believe the rumors, that believe they are correct over every owner in SL Wrestlin g existance, that act like total morons at events, and that bad mouth whatever company they left or got fired simply to save face. In my eyes, this community people talk about doesn't exist. Is there a community? It's simply not this Second Life group that expects assimulation of other's to agree with them or be outcasted. VWE has been stand alone for a long time, with many people having friends in DCWF, HAWX, uHw, and more. That's a community of friends. Joint Shows, duo rosters, Wrestling Conventions, and radio shows that pay attention to only one side of the content when claiming to be unbiased. That's not a community, that's simply a Regime.

any last words?
Yeah, actually. People say I should take responsibilty for things in the past that happened with VWE. Here's a fun fact, contrary to what is Rumored about me, I have taken Responsibility for every good or bad thing that has hapened in VWE History. Even taking responsibilty for other people's messes. When a decision is made by staff, it's simply made by staff. I place no blame on others unless they merit it themselves. What was my company was my faults or errors. 5 months ago I left control of the VWE in the hands of the Board of Directors, and the new leaders Jenn and Brak. I still to this day get blame for minor things, and I'm prefectly okay with that. I'm human as is all Fed owners. Don't presume to know anyone nor their work ethics without getting to know them first, otherwise you just prove to be more ignorant than the rumor/s that are spread in this community. Like me Hate me, doesn't matter to me. I keep my word to those I make promises to. Something not many (if hardly any) fed owner can truly claim
and back it up with people that have seen it. I'm no saint, but in my history with VWE, I thought solely of VWE before everything and everyone else. To key indidvudals that want to talk shit about me when you don't know me, don't ask me, or don't confront me. Grow up, get a set of balls (or atleast hypothetically) and confront the person on truths or bullshit before you make stupid comments in public. That said to those key people. To those in this community that are true, that love this sport, that bleed, starve, and work hard for the companies you work for. You have my utmost respect. To me it's not the owners, presidents, or staffs that make these companies last, is the members and the fans, that show up for every event, and support their favorite place to wrestle or watch. I spent two years in the politics of SL Wrestling. With all due respect, NO fed owner is without politics, and if they say they are, they're full of shit. We have blood on our hands equally. Always have. Responsibility is a word thrown around by others that don't always know the meaning. After 2 years in this Industry, I can finally rest, and be pro
around by others that don't always know the meaning. After 2 years in this Industry, I can finally rest, and be proud of my company, and my people. I'm happily retired, enjoying the new adventure in my real life, but I will always cherish, honor, and support Virtual Wrestling Entertainment. So with that said.... You've just been Eliminated.

Nova's interview with Vendetta
I'd like to thank my goofy counter part of auntie and one of my closest friends in SL for her time to be interviewed before her work on the FPV at HAWX today. if you want to be interviewed hit me up on SL or Facebook Tyress Serevi, now enjoy the interview
give us a small introduction about yourself
Vendetta: Well My Name is Vendetta..... JUST Vendetta.... if i catch anyone saying Zabelta they will be stung up by thier toes!! I am the owner of HAWX and geneal all around fun loving trouble maker!
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Vendetta: I'm most commonly know as "The Wylde Chylde" though I've had quite a few nicknames in both my Second Life and real life wrestling careers such as "Her Awesomeness" and The Bunny Freak". I Guess I got the name Wylde Chylde from my Lunacy combined with my unpredictable wrestling style and nature. I think its pretty fitting
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Vendetta: Well I was on Yahoo for the longest time and a freind of mine on there named Sunny invited me over. When i first got here i had a crappy computer and was pretty overwelmed by the whole thing so It took a few monthes before i came back again when I got my new computer. I originally came in looking to wrestle. At the time all i could find was the poseball leagues. Nothing against them at al, they can be fun to do, but It really was'nt what I was looking for... at least not full time. I got into many many other things here in SL including CCS, WW2 combat flying <Shout out to the Flying Tigers> Pirating, dancing/DJing/hosting and managing a club amoung other things. One day my Freind Carol came to me and wanted to start her own poseball fed upstairs from a club where I used to DJ named HAW Hawt Ass Wrestling. I figured it was pretty convienient and then we went and started looking for stuff to decorate. when I was at Wrestlewares I saw and quickly fell in love with the ACPWS system. I was what I had been looking
or the whole time. The more i played with it and learned it the more I liked it. We soon movedout of that dinky upstairs place and got out own place. I started teaching some people how to use the ACPWS. we were planning on making another ight just for the ACPWS based wrestling System and call it HAWX. Well we soon split up and HAWX was its own independant thing. It took awhile to get started, but then when Seth Offered to help us out, thats when we really took off.
Oh I used to make Fish Tanks too
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Vendetta: Well Like i said I started with the poseballs but That really was'nt what I was looking for. AFter finding the ACPWS system and starting HAW/HAWX I soon Met Jenn. We got to talking and she invited me to try out for the HKFW. I was a little wary at first only because Jenn and my styles and looks were so similer. I did'nt wanna sbe stepping in her spotlight so to speak. But Jenn convinced me it we were differant enough so I soon tried out and Joinded the HKWF. Soon after that I joined Rage and then MWA whick soon became the VWE. And the rest is History!
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: Yes I do and its nothing to do with belts or storylines. I hope to be able to bring the community as a whole back on good terms with each other, and though not everyone has to love everyone, I want to help make it a place where we can all co-exist in some kinda harmony. I think HAWX has already taken a bidg step towards doing that
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Vendetta: I think what makes Vendetta stand out is her unpredictability. She can go from heel to face in a blink of an eye without really changing herself at all. Ven too always adds a degrree of fun to matches and storylines but can also be completly off the wall batshit crazy and violent all at the same time.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Vendetta: wow! I thin this falls into the unpredictalbility side of me once again as I have sooo many moves that could be concidered both signatures and finishers. I guess Currently my main finshers are the Muffled Screams and the Flip-out, although i still rely alot of time on some old Staples like Kiss da Bunny and the FFX.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: full time, close to 3 years though been dabbling in it in one way or another for almost 4 years.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Vendetta: I'm still yet to face Misaki other then a house show match, but not in a real one on one, well thought out match. I would also love to matchup sometime against Marionetta as I just think that would be so much fun. Beyond that though, I think most of my other dream matches have already happened at least once
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Vendetta: My favorite of all time was Myself and Akasha in the Scaffold match, Then a close second would be the fatal 4 way between myself, Nanny Gothley, Elisa Riddler, and Kimberly Soulstar at Wrestle Series 1. Me and Jenn in the glass menagerie match is another. Myself Vs Lilith for the Hardcore Championship was another. Mostly because of the clusterfuck we had going into it, but it turned out to be an awesome match!, and finally, though it was'nt a match itself, but when I named Mr. Bunny as the GM of Primetime and we rode though the wall in a tank. That was just one of those epic Moments.....
now my favorite 5 not involving me would be and in no particular order... Bryce vs Loody at Beach Brawl 2, an exibition match last year for thankgiving at DCWF where Ari Lane and Emmet dressed as a Pilgrim and a Native American with Sparky in a roasted Turkey avitar as the referee. That match so sooo freakin funny. Another was a series of matches between Brakman and Alexis in which the finale was a Ladder match between them at Beach Brawl 2. Also the ladder match between Loody and Seth. and finally, The Match at Wrestleseries 2 Between Elisa and Nanny where Nanny got tossed off the waterfall and ended up an a desert island a couple monthes later.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Vendetta: Right now I'm only in HAWX and have been in that since its inception back in January of 2010
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: 2011 VWE Queen of the Arena!
Former HAWX Hardcore Champion (3x)

XWA/VWE Co-GM of the Year 2010

do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Vendetta: I would Really one day love to revive JHG (The Juvey Hall Girls) but make it more of a stable to include Myself, Cinthia, Cara, Maybe Jenn and Ty, Marionetta maybe and Nanny just as no one would see that one coming!
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Vendetta: I think I would LOVE to see Derrick Cult vs Derrick Zane vs Drewski Hoxley in a 3 way match. As far as women go, I'd love to see Lee vs Honey Vs Lily in the smame kinda 3 way match
who trained you?
Vendetta: I would say 80% of what I learned i learned on my own just playing with the system, after that much Kimberly Soulstar, Nanny Gothly (though we both kinda learned on each other), Elisa Riddler, and just learning a little from each match i did along the way. I'm still learning new things and way to keep innovative
Alpin showed me a few tricks as well hehe
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Vendetta: Again I would have to go back to the scaffold match between myself and Akasha. It took weeks to build and script it just right, but all that hard work paid off in the epicness of thematch itself >:D
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: Gawwwd soo many people. Nanny Gothly just for always being there as a friend, Jenn for making me come over to HKWF in the first place, Seth for giving me the ok to do the HAWX show and use the VWE roster and for helping me with alot of scripts, Curt for helping me when i was stuck on ideas, Tyress for keeping my coke intake to an all time low hehe, Kelley, Lilandra, Cinthia, Bri, really just about everyone I've met though SL wrestling has in one way helped me out at one time or another! I thank you all!
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Vendetta: I have been in HKWF, HAWX, XWA/VWE, and Rage. Through HAWX I have been able to work with a varity of people from many feds. I have also worked with uHw and the XLW too, though never offically on either roster.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Vendetta: alot of people inspire me in so many way, but to tell ya the truth, the thing that always inspires me the most is when i see new people come in and love doing it and work hard to try and be the best they can possibally be in the industry. Afterall, without the new people, things would get old really quick!
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Vendetta: Although I hardly ever watch wrestling on TV anymore, there have been quite a few people in the busness that have inspired me. Namly Ruckus who was my favorite trainer in real life and my friend Daziee Haze, for proving that "Divas" don't have to fit a certin mold to excell at what they do!
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Vendetta: I don't have any custom attire at all or colors for that mater. I am known for wearing whatever i walk into the arena in! and I think its the fact that I'm constantly wearing differant colors and hairstyles that makes me unique.
although I am more often then not wearing somekinda booty shorts or schoolgirl type skirts
what made you decide to start your own Federation?
Vendetta: Its always been a dream of mine to have a place where us girls always get the spotlight and are able to preform toe to toe with the guys and yet still be just as sexy as we wanna be doing it!
has there been any regrets?
Vendetta: Never any regrets. Some things that sometimes ya wish you did differantly, but if we never made mistakes then we'd never learn anything Ò.Ó
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in Your Federation?
Vendetta: Me and Jenn in the Glass Cage match, Alexa and Nina in the Ladder match, The Tag Tourney for the HAWX Tag Team CHampions which ended with Lil'Abelle vs The Deviant Darlings, Loved the Draconia vs Misaki match for the HAWX Championship, It was a dark match but Bazza aka Elvis #1 vs Jerico aka Elvis #2 Las Vegas Strip match, and anytime Nanny goes against Nina is always a spectacular match.
but my favorite momant was when Lilith Burned down HAWX
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Vendetta: even though it involves me my favorite was Me and Akasha's feud, Nanny vs Elisa Feud was awesome, The Jenn vs Ty feud was epic, The Seth vs Loody Feud was a good one, and though I'm not sure it was technially a feud but it lead to some awesome matched was the Drew/Scarlette vs Resin/Tara feud
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Vendetta: I'd love to see every fed owner in a Battle Royale!! hehe I think it would be fun!
then have Alpin come out at the end and clean house
has it been easy being the owner of a federation?
Vendetta: Oh its never easy being a fed owner! its always last minute stuff, getting people to get along and come up with some ideas on their own, and about a bizzion other things that make ya wanna pull your hair out!! but all in all its been a very rewarding expirience!
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Vendetta: Same as in real life wrestling.... Its always people who hear only part of something then it gets spread around and changed along the way as one person tells another and so on and so on. SL would be a great place if it was'nt for all the drama, but we all know there will never ne no drama. When it comes to rumors, but just gotta take em with a grain of salt, and not let they run your SL or real life.
is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
Vendetta: Definatly the VWE for sure! HAWX welcomes any fed that wants to be a part of it.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Vendetta: its hard to narrow them down to just 3 cause i think every fed had some kinda merit of thier own. I would say that DCWF/VWE/OEW are the "Big Three" but thats not taking anything away from all the other feds out there or thier owners who put thier hearts and souls into making awesome shows for the fans with very little or no monitary rewards, Just because they love it!
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Vendetta: I think everyone in it just loves what they do and want to share thier love with the fans. Not everyone gets along with everyone but I think as of late there has been quite a bit more getting along then I have seen in a very long time. I'd like to think that HAWX Played a role in that.
What Object would Vendetta pull out from under the ring?
vendetta: Thats a good one!! I'd have to say anything you'd never expect to see come out from under the ring! I have used everything from Beehives to cookoo clocks in matches.
What Color Represents Vendetta?
Vendetta: Hmm Not sure if I have a single color that represents me. Anything and Black together. I've very fond of Pink and Cyan though.
What would Mister Hunny Bunny say during a match of yours?
Vendetta: Oh he talks it up during any and all of my matches!!! for some strange reason people say they never hear him though. I just wiish i could get him to shut up sometimes!! But all and all he's the best manager i could ever hope for and he works for carrots!
what made you decide to bring Mister Hunny Bunny into your character?
Vendetta: That actually stem first from Yahoo when i saw a picture of this anime girl holding him. A whole story just popped instantly into my head. I even took that into my realife wrestling when I was using one of my childhood bunnys that was missinng half its fur, only has one eye and both ears are totally linp and chewed up. Although I'd love to find the Mr Bunny I use here on SL and that pic of him for real life I hav'nt found it yet., But Rodger worked just as good >:D
what is the reason that Mister Hunny Bunny has been a Loved Icon of the Wyld Chylde if you could think up one reason?
Vendetta: Oh wow!! To tell ya the truth, I'm completly perplexed about that one myself! People just love the craziness of an imaginary manager I suppose. Announcers love to bash him or talk to him during my matches, Fan all want thier own Mr Bunny. He's more popular then I could ever hope to be!

Don't let it run or ruin your life.... Just take it one day at a time and have fun with it! ... Oh! and .... Mr Bunny
give us a small introduction about yourself
Vendetta: Well My Name is Vendetta..... JUST Vendetta.... if i catch anyone saying Zabelta they will be stung up by thier toes!! I am the owner of HAWX and geneal all around fun loving trouble maker!
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Vendetta: I'm most commonly know as "The Wylde Chylde" though I've had quite a few nicknames in both my Second Life and real life wrestling careers such as "Her Awesomeness" and The Bunny Freak". I Guess I got the name Wylde Chylde from my Lunacy combined with my unpredictable wrestling style and nature. I think its pretty fitting
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Vendetta: Well I was on Yahoo for the longest time and a freind of mine on there named Sunny invited me over. When i first got here i had a crappy computer and was pretty overwelmed by the whole thing so It took a few monthes before i came back again when I got my new computer. I originally came in looking to wrestle. At the time all i could find was the poseball leagues. Nothing against them at al, they can be fun to do, but It really was'nt what I was looking for... at least not full time. I got into many many other things here in SL including CCS, WW2 combat flying <Shout out to the Flying Tigers> Pirating, dancing/DJing/hosting and managing a club amoung other things. One day my Freind Carol came to me and wanted to start her own poseball fed upstairs from a club where I used to DJ named HAW Hawt Ass Wrestling. I figured it was pretty convienient and then we went and started looking for stuff to decorate. when I was at Wrestlewares I saw and quickly fell in love with the ACPWS system. I was what I had been looking
or the whole time. The more i played with it and learned it the more I liked it. We soon movedout of that dinky upstairs place and got out own place. I started teaching some people how to use the ACPWS. we were planning on making another ight just for the ACPWS based wrestling System and call it HAWX. Well we soon split up and HAWX was its own independant thing. It took awhile to get started, but then when Seth Offered to help us out, thats when we really took off.
Oh I used to make Fish Tanks too
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Vendetta: Well Like i said I started with the poseballs but That really was'nt what I was looking for. AFter finding the ACPWS system and starting HAW/HAWX I soon Met Jenn. We got to talking and she invited me to try out for the HKFW. I was a little wary at first only because Jenn and my styles and looks were so similer. I did'nt wanna sbe stepping in her spotlight so to speak. But Jenn convinced me it we were differant enough so I soon tried out and Joinded the HKWF. Soon after that I joined Rage and then MWA whick soon became the VWE. And the rest is History!
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: Yes I do and its nothing to do with belts or storylines. I hope to be able to bring the community as a whole back on good terms with each other, and though not everyone has to love everyone, I want to help make it a place where we can all co-exist in some kinda harmony. I think HAWX has already taken a bidg step towards doing that
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Vendetta: I think what makes Vendetta stand out is her unpredictability. She can go from heel to face in a blink of an eye without really changing herself at all. Ven too always adds a degrree of fun to matches and storylines but can also be completly off the wall batshit crazy and violent all at the same time.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Vendetta: wow! I thin this falls into the unpredictalbility side of me once again as I have sooo many moves that could be concidered both signatures and finishers. I guess Currently my main finshers are the Muffled Screams and the Flip-out, although i still rely alot of time on some old Staples like Kiss da Bunny and the FFX.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: full time, close to 3 years though been dabbling in it in one way or another for almost 4 years.
do you have any Dream Matches?
Vendetta: I'm still yet to face Misaki other then a house show match, but not in a real one on one, well thought out match. I would also love to matchup sometime against Marionetta as I just think that would be so much fun. Beyond that though, I think most of my other dream matches have already happened at least once
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Vendetta: My favorite of all time was Myself and Akasha in the Scaffold match, Then a close second would be the fatal 4 way between myself, Nanny Gothley, Elisa Riddler, and Kimberly Soulstar at Wrestle Series 1. Me and Jenn in the glass menagerie match is another. Myself Vs Lilith for the Hardcore Championship was another. Mostly because of the clusterfuck we had going into it, but it turned out to be an awesome match!, and finally, though it was'nt a match itself, but when I named Mr. Bunny as the GM of Primetime and we rode though the wall in a tank. That was just one of those epic Moments.....
now my favorite 5 not involving me would be and in no particular order... Bryce vs Loody at Beach Brawl 2, an exibition match last year for thankgiving at DCWF where Ari Lane and Emmet dressed as a Pilgrim and a Native American with Sparky in a roasted Turkey avitar as the referee. That match so sooo freakin funny. Another was a series of matches between Brakman and Alexis in which the finale was a Ladder match between them at Beach Brawl 2. Also the ladder match between Loody and Seth. and finally, The Match at Wrestleseries 2 Between Elisa and Nanny where Nanny got tossed off the waterfall and ended up an a desert island a couple monthes later.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Vendetta: Right now I'm only in HAWX and have been in that since its inception back in January of 2010
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: 2011 VWE Queen of the Arena!
Former HAWX Hardcore Champion (3x)

do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Vendetta: I would Really one day love to revive JHG (The Juvey Hall Girls) but make it more of a stable to include Myself, Cinthia, Cara, Maybe Jenn and Ty, Marionetta maybe and Nanny just as no one would see that one coming!
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Vendetta: I think I would LOVE to see Derrick Cult vs Derrick Zane vs Drewski Hoxley in a 3 way match. As far as women go, I'd love to see Lee vs Honey Vs Lily in the smame kinda 3 way match
who trained you?
Vendetta: I would say 80% of what I learned i learned on my own just playing with the system, after that much Kimberly Soulstar, Nanny Gothly (though we both kinda learned on each other), Elisa Riddler, and just learning a little from each match i did along the way. I'm still learning new things and way to keep innovative
Alpin showed me a few tricks as well hehe
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Vendetta: Again I would have to go back to the scaffold match between myself and Akasha. It took weeks to build and script it just right, but all that hard work paid off in the epicness of thematch itself >:D
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Vendetta: Gawwwd soo many people. Nanny Gothly just for always being there as a friend, Jenn for making me come over to HKWF in the first place, Seth for giving me the ok to do the HAWX show and use the VWE roster and for helping me with alot of scripts, Curt for helping me when i was stuck on ideas, Tyress for keeping my coke intake to an all time low hehe, Kelley, Lilandra, Cinthia, Bri, really just about everyone I've met though SL wrestling has in one way helped me out at one time or another! I thank you all!
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Vendetta: I have been in HKWF, HAWX, XWA/VWE, and Rage. Through HAWX I have been able to work with a varity of people from many feds. I have also worked with uHw and the XLW too, though never offically on either roster.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Vendetta: alot of people inspire me in so many way, but to tell ya the truth, the thing that always inspires me the most is when i see new people come in and love doing it and work hard to try and be the best they can possibally be in the industry. Afterall, without the new people, things would get old really quick!
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Vendetta: Although I hardly ever watch wrestling on TV anymore, there have been quite a few people in the busness that have inspired me. Namly Ruckus who was my favorite trainer in real life and my friend Daziee Haze, for proving that "Divas" don't have to fit a certin mold to excell at what they do!
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Vendetta: I don't have any custom attire at all or colors for that mater. I am known for wearing whatever i walk into the arena in! and I think its the fact that I'm constantly wearing differant colors and hairstyles that makes me unique.
although I am more often then not wearing somekinda booty shorts or schoolgirl type skirts
what made you decide to start your own Federation?
Vendetta: Its always been a dream of mine to have a place where us girls always get the spotlight and are able to preform toe to toe with the guys and yet still be just as sexy as we wanna be doing it!

Nova's interview with Wolfy Kessel
I'd like to thank Wolfy for his time for this interview it was really fun to have him! also if you're interested to be interviewed hit me up on SL or Facebook!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Wolfy: Hello everyone, My name is Wolfy Kessel, I'm a professional wrestler at United Honor Wrestling, I am also known as the Midnight Wolf
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Wolfy: That is a good question, My nickname is "The Midnight Wolf". How I got it, well since I have a liking for wolves that is what my persona is all about. The word midnight It really it just poped into my head because a lot of time I sometimes enjoy the night and most of the time wolves look intimidating at night especially under a full moon and one time I had a picture in my head of a wolf hovering over a full moon and it was exactly at midnight
when I had the vision, so it pretty much stuck
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Wolfy: well I was playing World of Warcraft at the time and I was at a time in my life where I just was looking for a place to socialize. My friend in RL told me about Second Life that he was a DJ there and said you could do anything there so after some thinking I decided to check it out and from there I have been hooked ever since
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I started out as a DJ and I remember my friend saying you can do anything in Second Life that you can't do in real life. I have been a big wrestling fan so I peaked my curiousity and went to search if there was pro wrestling in SL and sure enough the first thing that came was DCWF (which was SLCW at the time) I went over to DCWF and told them that I was interested in wrestling and what I should to join. it was Eric and Alpin that I met face to face and were impressed on how I approached them and let me join
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Wolfy: well as I said I was seraching for wrestling on SL and came across DCWF which was ran byt Eric Stuart and Alpin Criss, I went to them face to face and said that I was interested in joining DCWF and what I have to do to join, they along with Kateryn Blackadder were impressed and they let me join so I stayed with DCWF for about a year before I moved on to other wrestling feds like VWE and UHW
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: hmm, that is a good question. I have already achieved a good amount of success over my wrestling career, being former VWE United States and Tag Team champion, also the last VWE Xtreme Champion, not to mention a DCWF Golden Award winner for most improved wrestler
but I most of all I would love further down the road to be a Hall of Famer and at some point become a world champion
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Wolfy: normally outside the ring I'm bit of a passionate person, so being The Midnight Wolf I can show off how aggressive I can be, I would tap into my inner wolf so to speak and become very focus mean and vicious at the same time yet still be protective of those who I care about
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Wolfy: The current finisher I am using now is called the Scavenger, which is a jumping reverse bulldog simialr to Dolph Ziggler's Zig Zag, also there is Howling Destiny which is a doubel rotation moonsault, The Midnight Hour (name was change for obivous reasons *points to Ty*) which is the Osaka Cutter, and Forbidden Moonlight which is the belly to belly moonsault slam from the top rope
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I would have to say going on 3 years now
do you have any Dream Matches?
Wolfy: there are few that come into mind
One of the matches I would like to see is definatly Jenn Parkin going up against Shinja in a no holds barred hardcore match because I believe they will put on one heck of a show, another would be me against none other than the cowboy Drewsky Hoxley, and I would've loved to have a match against either against Alpin Criss or The Elminator Seth Cameron, also I wouldn't mind seeing Brakman Wylder vs Adune Snowpaw, or Acheron Nightfire taking on Derrick Zane as well. I have so many ideas about matches but we would be here all night
battle of Texas, Derick Cult vs Benja Nirvana, Drewski Hoxley, told you I had a lot of ideas
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Wolfy: I would have to say Acehron Nightfire vs. Ryan Fury for the United Universal Championship and Myself taking on James Hardy on several occasions, The Scafold match between Vendetta and Akasha Fulkes, Seth Cameron taking on Benbe Kirax at Elimiation Royle, Brakman Wylder vs Sam the Man in that Last Man standing match Drewski Hoxley vs Mike Freeman Straff from Backyard Brawl, and Adune Snowpaw vs Bryce Ketterley from Six Feet Under
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Wolfy: I started in September of this year so only for about 3 months now
as some of us know when you were in VWE you used to have a "Manager" but to those that might know fully know you or your character mind telling us about the "manager" and why you decided to use her?
Wolfy: my manager...ah...Amaterasu, well I figure using my wolf as a my mamager would fit my character definatly, using her was kinda a new idea as people have human managers I would become different and have a wolf as mine. I also at time in UHW but not as much as I did in VWE, and mostly because she is very loyal and I trust her and also from time to time maxine is my manager when she is not around or is sleeping backstage lol, but I believe as I said it is a bit of a change from the usual manager
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I have been DCWF Golden Award Winner for being the Most Improved Wrestler, the last VWE Xtreme Champion, VWE Tag Team Champion, and VWE United States Champion
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Wolfy: Well I am already in the stable The Night Terrors, with Acheron Nightfire and Maxine, but I would love to also team with either Benja Nirvana, Adune Snowpaw, Drewski Hoxley, and even Shinja, if I ever team with Shinja that would be epic. It's just I would work well with people and I wouldn't mind teaming with anyone if they gave me the chance
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Wolfy: as far as females goes, definatly fatal 4-way, Maxine vs. Briana Kessel vs. Scarlette Abyeante vs. Tyress Serevi, plus Nanny Gothly vs Jenn Parkin vs vendetta vs Akasha Faulkes, Males would be the Ballte of Texas Triple Threat match as I said Derrick Cult vs Drewski Hoxley vs. Benja Nirvana, another ME would be Seth Cameron vs. Adune Snowpaw Ironman Match
as I said before I have a lot of ideas
who trained you?
Wolfy: I would have to say Kateryn Blackadder did a bit, and Alpin Criss showed me how the system worked, but all in all once I figured it out I in a way trained myself by looking at other wrestlers in the business
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Wolfy: actually two moments come in mind, one was when I won my very first title, The Xteme Title, at VWE Overdrive against Glemy Adder. It was a great match and I got to work with one of my best friends Maxine as she was the reason I one the title, the other would be the Casket Match againt Acheron at last years Six Feet Under, mainly becuase it was the first ever Main Event I was in at a Free-Per-View, altough I lost the match I still gave it my all and it was a great experiance for me
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I do have a lot of people to thank, like my wife Briana afterhtough for being by my side trhough everything, Maxine for helping me in my career, my sisters Scarlette and Izzy for supporting and also being there for me and putting up with me, Benja Nirvana for finding a way to make me laugh, Eric and Alpin for giving me my start, Seth Cameron and Benbe Kirax for giving me the chance to shine at VWE, Acheonr Nightfire for being my tag partner and almost like a brother to me, Lilandra for being my rock and helping me, you Ty for letting me have this interview and speak my mind here, Drewski Hoxely for taking care fo Scarlette and being also supportive one person who is no longer here but still has a place
would be Harly Tigerpaw for pushing me to be the person I am today
and if I forgot to name anyone you know you are and I would like to thank them as well
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Wolfy: I have been in three DCWF, VWE and UHW
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Wolfy: I would have to say Maxine, has inspired me for helping me when I need help, I am also inspired by my wife Briana because of her positive attitude, and Adune Snowpaw and Derrick Cult also inpired me as well
they give their best and put on a great show and I sometimes want to do the same
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Wolfy: no doubt, The Undertaker, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jeff Hardy and Edge
The Undertaker because I grew up watching him and he has this aura that is very intimatdating especially during his earlier years
Bret Hart because of his tecnical skills in the ring and how he could beat anyone
Jeff Hardy no not for the bad things lol, but for his Charisma and how he would put his body on the line for the crowd and do whatever it takes to win
and Edge earlier on like pre-brood, pre-Rated R superstar, cause he was also mysterious walking winthin the crowd and also has a mean streak that how I portrayed my character
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Wolfy: when I was DCWf I used to wear all black, but then I add blue to it
and the blue kinda stayed as my signature color, whether I wore black or white
I started wearing white and blue in UHW
so as I said no matter what other color I go with Blue has to be in there
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Wolfy: *sighs* you know the phrase "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch?"
well I just believe when it comes to a group or community there is always that one person who wants to start trouble, personally I don't know why but they would like to make the community go against each other and not let the people have fun. I hear the rumors but I sometimes I don't listen to them, I really wish we can all just forget the drama and have wrestling that is what SL wrestling is all about, to put on a good show and have fun with it
I go by a motto, forget the drama and the politics I just want to wrestle and have fun
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Wolfy: UHW because I think they kinda bring an old school feel to wresting, VWE because I had some great times there and had a lot of fun working there, and DCWF because that is where I had my start and has that place in my heart. All in all I made a ton of friends in all of the fed I have worked in. Plus if I could name a forth I would have say HAWX because I enjoy commentating there and working with the people there as well
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Wolfy: my opinion is that it is a great community where people wil know what is going on in the SL wrestling world, but as I said sometimes there are some people who like to cause trouble for everyone else. that is not nessesary
we all need to put our differences aside and just talk with one another and help out as much as we can
and be what it is, a community
Name your Top 4 Female Wrestlers and top 4 Male wrestlers in UHW

Just if you are a wrestler here in SL just remember to have fun at what you do and do your best at it. as I said before No drama, No politics, just wrestle and have fun
give us a small introduction about yourself
Wolfy: Hello everyone, My name is Wolfy Kessel, I'm a professional wrestler at United Honor Wrestling, I am also known as the Midnight Wolf
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Wolfy: That is a good question, My nickname is "The Midnight Wolf". How I got it, well since I have a liking for wolves that is what my persona is all about. The word midnight It really it just poped into my head because a lot of time I sometimes enjoy the night and most of the time wolves look intimidating at night especially under a full moon and one time I had a picture in my head of a wolf hovering over a full moon and it was exactly at midnight
when I had the vision, so it pretty much stuck
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Wolfy: well I was playing World of Warcraft at the time and I was at a time in my life where I just was looking for a place to socialize. My friend in RL told me about Second Life that he was a DJ there and said you could do anything there so after some thinking I decided to check it out and from there I have been hooked ever since
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I started out as a DJ and I remember my friend saying you can do anything in Second Life that you can't do in real life. I have been a big wrestling fan so I peaked my curiousity and went to search if there was pro wrestling in SL and sure enough the first thing that came was DCWF (which was SLCW at the time) I went over to DCWF and told them that I was interested in wrestling and what I should to join. it was Eric and Alpin that I met face to face and were impressed on how I approached them and let me join
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Wolfy: well as I said I was seraching for wrestling on SL and came across DCWF which was ran byt Eric Stuart and Alpin Criss, I went to them face to face and said that I was interested in joining DCWF and what I have to do to join, they along with Kateryn Blackadder were impressed and they let me join so I stayed with DCWF for about a year before I moved on to other wrestling feds like VWE and UHW
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: hmm, that is a good question. I have already achieved a good amount of success over my wrestling career, being former VWE United States and Tag Team champion, also the last VWE Xtreme Champion, not to mention a DCWF Golden Award winner for most improved wrestler
but I most of all I would love further down the road to be a Hall of Famer and at some point become a world champion
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Wolfy: normally outside the ring I'm bit of a passionate person, so being The Midnight Wolf I can show off how aggressive I can be, I would tap into my inner wolf so to speak and become very focus mean and vicious at the same time yet still be protective of those who I care about
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Wolfy: The current finisher I am using now is called the Scavenger, which is a jumping reverse bulldog simialr to Dolph Ziggler's Zig Zag, also there is Howling Destiny which is a doubel rotation moonsault, The Midnight Hour (name was change for obivous reasons *points to Ty*) which is the Osaka Cutter, and Forbidden Moonlight which is the belly to belly moonsault slam from the top rope
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I would have to say going on 3 years now
do you have any Dream Matches?
Wolfy: there are few that come into mind
One of the matches I would like to see is definatly Jenn Parkin going up against Shinja in a no holds barred hardcore match because I believe they will put on one heck of a show, another would be me against none other than the cowboy Drewsky Hoxley, and I would've loved to have a match against either against Alpin Criss or The Elminator Seth Cameron, also I wouldn't mind seeing Brakman Wylder vs Adune Snowpaw, or Acheron Nightfire taking on Derrick Zane as well. I have so many ideas about matches but we would be here all night
battle of Texas, Derick Cult vs Benja Nirvana, Drewski Hoxley, told you I had a lot of ideas
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Wolfy: I would have to say Acehron Nightfire vs. Ryan Fury for the United Universal Championship and Myself taking on James Hardy on several occasions, The Scafold match between Vendetta and Akasha Fulkes, Seth Cameron taking on Benbe Kirax at Elimiation Royle, Brakman Wylder vs Sam the Man in that Last Man standing match Drewski Hoxley vs Mike Freeman Straff from Backyard Brawl, and Adune Snowpaw vs Bryce Ketterley from Six Feet Under
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Wolfy: I started in September of this year so only for about 3 months now
as some of us know when you were in VWE you used to have a "Manager" but to those that might know fully know you or your character mind telling us about the "manager" and why you decided to use her?
Wolfy: my manager...ah...Amaterasu, well I figure using my wolf as a my mamager would fit my character definatly, using her was kinda a new idea as people have human managers I would become different and have a wolf as mine. I also at time in UHW but not as much as I did in VWE, and mostly because she is very loyal and I trust her and also from time to time maxine is my manager when she is not around or is sleeping backstage lol, but I believe as I said it is a bit of a change from the usual manager
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I have been DCWF Golden Award Winner for being the Most Improved Wrestler, the last VWE Xtreme Champion, VWE Tag Team Champion, and VWE United States Champion
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Wolfy: Well I am already in the stable The Night Terrors, with Acheron Nightfire and Maxine, but I would love to also team with either Benja Nirvana, Adune Snowpaw, Drewski Hoxley, and even Shinja, if I ever team with Shinja that would be epic. It's just I would work well with people and I wouldn't mind teaming with anyone if they gave me the chance
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Wolfy: as far as females goes, definatly fatal 4-way, Maxine vs. Briana Kessel vs. Scarlette Abyeante vs. Tyress Serevi, plus Nanny Gothly vs Jenn Parkin vs vendetta vs Akasha Faulkes, Males would be the Ballte of Texas Triple Threat match as I said Derrick Cult vs Drewski Hoxley vs. Benja Nirvana, another ME would be Seth Cameron vs. Adune Snowpaw Ironman Match
as I said before I have a lot of ideas
who trained you?
Wolfy: I would have to say Kateryn Blackadder did a bit, and Alpin Criss showed me how the system worked, but all in all once I figured it out I in a way trained myself by looking at other wrestlers in the business
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Wolfy: actually two moments come in mind, one was when I won my very first title, The Xteme Title, at VWE Overdrive against Glemy Adder. It was a great match and I got to work with one of my best friends Maxine as she was the reason I one the title, the other would be the Casket Match againt Acheron at last years Six Feet Under, mainly becuase it was the first ever Main Event I was in at a Free-Per-View, altough I lost the match I still gave it my all and it was a great experiance for me
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Wolfy: I do have a lot of people to thank, like my wife Briana afterhtough for being by my side trhough everything, Maxine for helping me in my career, my sisters Scarlette and Izzy for supporting and also being there for me and putting up with me, Benja Nirvana for finding a way to make me laugh, Eric and Alpin for giving me my start, Seth Cameron and Benbe Kirax for giving me the chance to shine at VWE, Acheonr Nightfire for being my tag partner and almost like a brother to me, Lilandra for being my rock and helping me, you Ty for letting me have this interview and speak my mind here, Drewski Hoxely for taking care fo Scarlette and being also supportive one person who is no longer here but still has a place
would be Harly Tigerpaw for pushing me to be the person I am today
and if I forgot to name anyone you know you are and I would like to thank them as well
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Wolfy: I have been in three DCWF, VWE and UHW
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Wolfy: I would have to say Maxine, has inspired me for helping me when I need help, I am also inspired by my wife Briana because of her positive attitude, and Adune Snowpaw and Derrick Cult also inpired me as well
they give their best and put on a great show and I sometimes want to do the same
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Wolfy: no doubt, The Undertaker, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jeff Hardy and Edge
The Undertaker because I grew up watching him and he has this aura that is very intimatdating especially during his earlier years
Bret Hart because of his tecnical skills in the ring and how he could beat anyone
Jeff Hardy no not for the bad things lol, but for his Charisma and how he would put his body on the line for the crowd and do whatever it takes to win
and Edge earlier on like pre-brood, pre-Rated R superstar, cause he was also mysterious walking winthin the crowd and also has a mean streak that how I portrayed my character

Nova's Interview with Numbers Rossini
I'd like to thank Numbers who clearly is my hero of the day! as he saved the interview with the power of the Log! as i lost mine due to SL crashing -.- but enjoy the reading! and if you're interested to be interviewed hit me up! ;)
give us a small introduction about yourself
Numbers Rossini: Im Numbers Rossini Chairman of the DCWF for about a year and a half now. Lovin every minute of it.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Numbers Rossini: actually lol my wrestling nickname is The Bull, that nickname was given to me in RL by some people I worked with in Philly when I did work with inner city gangs and youth.
it kinda stuck
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Numbers Rossini: Kinda heard about it here and there. When I was a kid I always thought about a game where youcan create all the content and was pretty much limitless, like living another life. When I heard about SL, I jumped on it.
how did you get into SL Wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: I invented SL in my head over 20 years ago. But I have zero programming skills so someone beat me to it lol
I was efedding a few years back, the efed broke up and one of the guys showed me old youtube of SLCW. I had been in sl about a year at that point and knew that starting the efed here was almost impossible. A couple months later I strolled into SLCW and demanded that they recognise my greatness.
Starting an efed here was impossible because there was no open or non exclusive system., The costs to make one would be high. Couldnt beat em so I joined em
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Mostly my ego. I was already a successful dancer and bike builder. I loved wrestling so why couldnt I top the charts here ya know.
Highest paid dancer in about 3 or 4 different clubs I was workin. Chicks dig me :P
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Well lets see, Im a formal world champion, hall of famer, Chairman of the DCWF....
interestingly enough thats only within the DCWF walls...
maybe a few years down the road, Id certainly accept a lifetime acheivement award from the whole of the wrestling community....
not cause I deserve one now....
but something like that shows you've made a positive contribution. I recon thats what its all about, not what you take, but what you give.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Numbers Rossini: No nonsense, no bullshit approach to everything. If I see a foul I call it, dont really care what people think. But....
its easy to say that and act like a hardon behind a keyboard, you have to live it as well.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Numbers Rossini: Just one
The Bulls Horns
its a Torture Rack
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Since January of 09 so about 3 years now.
do you have any Dream Matches that you'd like to be in?
Numbers Rossini: I think the only person I havent Wrestled that Ive really wanted too is Derrick Zane, we move alot alike in promos and in the ring, it would be a well put togather show.
Thers lots of people id really like to tangle with in the ring. But if Im honest, I like watching more now, seeing some of the others pull off some of the stuff they do is awesome.
When Did You Retire from wrestling as wrestler?
At Wrestlefest III Febuary of 2011. It was definately time. I had been deep in running the DCWF by them, I couldn't do both, not without compromising both my integrity and my sanity. I dont think bookers should be regular wrestler, the temptation to strap yourself with a title is too great. I opted out of the ring. No regrets.
I know that DCWF has had some bad times what do you think is making DCWF Strong as a group?
Numbers Rossini: Thers a core group of us that refuse to give in. We've seen the good times as well and know there are more to be had. Everytime it gets tough we step up and overcome, others see that and are insipred, so the core group continues to grow.
And honestly, its kinda all for one and one for all, the self centered egos go as fast as they come. Noones bigger than DCWF, thats the first rule.
if you could name Five names that has been there and supported DCWF from Start to now who would you say has been the "Pillars" of DCWF?
Numbers Rossini: Theres many names..
Alpin Criss for starters, without him none of this would be possible for any group.
Then you have those who innovated then branched out into their own thing, Tenzan and Jenn among them.
they kinda paved the way for guys like me commin up, established the baseline for what I consider to be good wrestling.
Personality clashes aside of course.
Then Id say the glue that holds everything togather would be Kat Blackadder, she stepped up several times through several regime changes to emerge as a capstone, when alot of people were ready to fold up and give in.
And today, without my GMs Paula WIlcox and Vince Easterwood, things would be alot more difficult to manage, they bring something to the table that we absolutely need ... leadership.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?,
Numbers Rossini: Celtdans retirement match against Ari Lane, the buildup was highly emotional and so was the match.
Loody vs Derrick for the title. I enjoyed working with Derrick when he was in SLCW, hes a pro. I watched the match on stream and for using the ACWPS, rarely have I seen it worked better.
Misaki vs Ceri at Backyard Brawl 2010 was an enormous pop. I havent seen that much effort in a match since to be honest.
My favorite match of all time though, was Vince vs Mythil for the World Title last year at Wrestlefest. Those two always put on high quality matches, and seeing Churchboy win the title did me a world of good. Noone deserved it more. That man had waited years and done all that was asked of him without complaint, and never once had a shitty match. It was his time.
guys like Mythil , Bazza, and Jericho are doing with the NexGen and the matches just keep getting better.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: More than I ever set out too Ill tell you that.
My application boasted wanting to be world champ. Check. At the first hall of fame induction after seeing Kitty get a statue, I knew thats where I wanted to be. Check. To have the crowd on its feet when I finally retired from the ring, they did. Check.
If you would have the chance to pick Two or Three People Female or Male who would you pick to form a tag team or a stable? and why
Numbers Rossini: LOL Interestingly enough I got to do that. With me Big Evil, Ari Lane, Mobeacha, and Vince as the MHP. That worked well for quite a while. I doubt I can conjure up a better group of people to work with in that way at this point. That stable just played.
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent and why?
Numbers Rossini: Id get all the bosses in one place ya know. Crul, Seth, Maxi, David, Vendetta, Maureenanne, and me. One rumble, lets get it out of our systems. Laugh about it and move on.
who trained you?
Numbers Rossini: Kat Blackadder. Shes proud to say she never had a finer student.
but
anyone can be trained to work the system, she showed me the prestige and value of what we were doing, and had a hand in me dropping the unhealthy side of my ego, to do better things for the DCWF.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Numbers Rossini: DCWF
I mean there were many great ones. Winning the DCWF title, the huge ovation right after my retirement match, I had been getting booed for years, for once the crowd loved me. Getting inducted into the DCWF Hall of Fame........
I think my finest moment though was when Drew had won the World Championship....
He was young, but the crowd loved him, we had built so much around it , it was the perfect storm, then he won....
He beat Vince and the crowd went nuts. In character I was livid, but I remember when it was over sitting there behind my keyboard with this huge shit eating grin on my face. 20 minutes later they were still celebrating....
I laughed and shut down sl for a it, opened a beer and relaxed, we had delivered, we had plain and simple just delivered. Those moments are what its about.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Kat first of all, she was right there with me from the beginning when I was a snot nose and kept me grounded. She still does to this day.
Vince and Paula, they are my rocks. They do the heavy lifting without complaint and always get the job done. Misaki for the amazing job she does with the building, she understands the vision and crafts it.
Alpin Criss was a huge influence on me AFTER I took my office. Ive had some very lengthy chats with him that have given me more perspective than anyone else.
All the great wrestlers who are out there now, and have come before me, those are the guys that innovate and shape this business every day. Without them were all dead in the water. Great staffs and performs make it all worth doing, they are owed much thanks for what they do.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Numbers Rossini: just the DCWF, heart is where the home is. I suppose though, had DCWF crumbled dead under a former owner, Ida joined up with HKWF, I always liked their product, never a bad thing to say about them.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Numbers Rossini: See my thank you list. lol. i suppose anyone can inspire me at any given time, thats how great ideas are born. If I took an honest look back I can see where many people have kinda inspired me in different ways about different things over the years. Pinpointing it would be a disservice to the small yet important things.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Numbers Rossini: I hadn't for a while. Im an old school WCW mark, those fuys were real. But Id say CM Punk has been awful damn real lately, he lays it out there and people eat it up, cause its truth. The truth spreads like a virus.
What kind of attire did you use when you were in the ring during a match?
Numbers Rossini: MAN PANTIES
I caught alot of hell for them too. But I wore them well and it was true traditional wrestling gear. Had a little silver Bull on the ass. Ver Rock like, very old school.
Alot of people said I looked like Goldberg, called me Numberg for a while. I took it as a compliment
Goldberg was badass
as probably most of us know theres some bad long blood between you and Seth... but my question is if you two were in a room what do you think would happen?
Numbers Rossini: LOL
i dunno how he really feels about me to be honest....
I saw alot of the things he did that made VWE successful, I also saw some of the lower brow stuff that went on. Not just rumor, mind you, first hand account stuff...
More to the point, I didnt see him taking responsiility for the things that were below board, blame always got shifted here there or to the board of directors......
the man has done some amazing things, I do credit him for that...but Im of the oppinion he should take responsibility for the things that went wrong, I suppe if I were in a room with him, Thats what Id tell him. Step up, do better, move on, thats the measure of a man isnt it?
: Do You think that DCWF and VWE will someday burry the Hatches and possible do a co-op Show in the future?
Numbers Rossini: I have no issue with the VWE as a company. It has alot of strengths, I personally and professionally recognise that. If the day comes I welcome it, and maybe with the new changing of the guard at VWE some old issues could get burried.
If The Wrestler Numbers where to go under the ring to pick an object what would that object be?
Numbers Rossini: A beer
It numbs the soul, try a numbweiser sometime. Its amazing.
what made you To Step in and Help preventing DCWF from falling?
Numbers Rossini: We found outselves without solid leadership long before the previous owners departure. Kitty got the top job and asked if Id be the VP...
it was a choice of do it, or risk the likelyhood of the DCWF going bye bye....
Kitty and I werent sure we could do all that needed to be done not only to keep the DCWF afloat, but to have it grow and thrive, we were hurting in those days.....
but if we didnt try we wouldnt know, so we decided to take a swing, and in many cases with alot of help and effort from our staff, we hit homeruns time and time again. We also screw stuff up too. But were not nearly afraid of that as we used to be. Failure is necesary for growth.
as there been any regrets?
Numbers Rossini: No regrets, just a few missteps here and there that Ive learned from and moved on from, I can't say there would be anything Id change out right, its been a good ride so far.
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in DCWF?
Numbers Rossini: well three were on my top 5 all time
but Paula and Horses in an old school Brittish style match was hilarious. It was so dry and Brittish the crowd loved it and I couldnt stop laughing.
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Feuds come and go
Numbers Rossini: thanks kinda the point cant. Say I have a top 5 really, But Derrick Zane and Curt were always entertaining. Drew and Resis used to wow the crowds......
I do like feuds dont get me wrong, but I love the matches that they lead up to even more I think, those are what I really remember .
I do like feuds dont get me wrong, but I love the matches that they lead up to even more I think, those are what I really remember .
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Numbers Rossini: Special match, 30 Sl Female Wrestlers in a bra and panties Royal Rumble. Think of what that would do for ratings.
has it been easy being part-owner of a federation?
Numbers Rossini: Not even close.....
Theres so manyt hings you have to consider, what yuor fans want, what your talent wans, and whats over all best for teh company. Its a tough juggling act. You want to keep everyone happy, but sometimes you just cant. Im blessed though to have good instincts, and a staff that trusts those instincts......
That and that alone helps midigate the frustration of not being able to be and do all things for all people.....
Whats the toughest though.....
Is sometimes you wander around feeling unappriciated, and I dont think its intentional on anyones part. But you always catch the negative, very rarely a thanks or show of appriciation.......
noone wishes you to feel this way, but it does come with the territory when yer looking after so many different interest and areas.......
but when a new guy gets it, or someone steps up hard and works for that strap, or a match goes off beautifully, and the fans go nuts, it makes it worth it. So to my DCWF Staff, say thanks once in a while bitches, DAMN. LOL
Those of us with the top job do alot, that people dont see.
But for me personally..
I love the DCWF and more than that the folks I work with. SO I cant say its not damn good.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Numbers Rossini: Rumors....
well...
dipshits cause rumors
and dont get me wrong, gossipis juicy and we all wanna hear it, its human nature......
the key though is seperating fact from fiction and believing the truth over dipshits......
sometimes what you hear is true, sometimes its false. First decide why you care one way or the other, if you find that you dont, then its all chalked to dipshittery. Look I coined a new word....
but these rumors come from a very evil place that relishes in the demise of others and the destruction of rivals, rather that a true appriciation for success.
is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
Numbers Rossini: We do alot of good work with HAWX and uHw now. I like surounding myself with no nonsense, honest, hardworking people. I love the branching out we sometimes do. The tricky part is being part of a larger group and maintaining the integrity and prestige of your own brand. Its difficult but rewarding.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Numbers Rossini: DCWF , because I said so
No I take that back
Heres a totally honest yet diplomatic answer....
Each fed, brings something unique to the table
so Ill tell ya whos best at what
VWE- has a solid and huge tradition that puts them at the top as far as production value s concerned.
HAWX- has hands down set the standard for womens wrestling in Second Life
uHw - Scared the hell out of alot of people when they started, they came out strong when noone thought they would, they are fighters and survivors
DWA- is without a doubt the most ambitious group out there, they dip there toes into alot of stuff, for better or worse, they have alot of drive.
DCWF- I think we train harder and continously put out the best match product out there. Our wrestlers beat themselvs up if thers a botch, we believe wrestling matters, and we prove it time and time again.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Numbers Rossini: I like community....
but I think my definition of it is different....
I myself live in a community, my neighbor drives a jeep grand cherokee, I do not
my other neighbor uses Bank of America, I do not...
a community is a group of people who can be from different places and do different things yet coexist.....
there are some, who think to be a community you gotta get everyone on yur particular program, thats been tried throughout history and failed. A community celebates its differences AND is similarities, doest suffer 'bigotry'. Im not sure the SL Wrestling community is there yet, but there are many who are trying, and very few who demand it be their way or under their flag.

Any Last Word?
Numbers Rossini: Sure, and this is for the entire 'community'. Do what you do to the best of your ability, enjoy your success, learn from your failures. Dont take for granted the short time we get in this thing, everyone leaves SL eventually. Focus on your product and your game, dont waste time worrying about what others are doing or saying, you would only be wasting time.
give us a small introduction about yourself
Numbers Rossini: Im Numbers Rossini Chairman of the DCWF for about a year and a half now. Lovin every minute of it.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Numbers Rossini: actually lol my wrestling nickname is The Bull, that nickname was given to me in RL by some people I worked with in Philly when I did work with inner city gangs and youth.
it kinda stuck
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Numbers Rossini: Kinda heard about it here and there. When I was a kid I always thought about a game where youcan create all the content and was pretty much limitless, like living another life. When I heard about SL, I jumped on it.
how did you get into SL Wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: I invented SL in my head over 20 years ago. But I have zero programming skills so someone beat me to it lol
I was efedding a few years back, the efed broke up and one of the guys showed me old youtube of SLCW. I had been in sl about a year at that point and knew that starting the efed here was almost impossible. A couple months later I strolled into SLCW and demanded that they recognise my greatness.
Starting an efed here was impossible because there was no open or non exclusive system., The costs to make one would be high. Couldnt beat em so I joined em
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Mostly my ego. I was already a successful dancer and bike builder. I loved wrestling so why couldnt I top the charts here ya know.
Highest paid dancer in about 3 or 4 different clubs I was workin. Chicks dig me :P
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Well lets see, Im a formal world champion, hall of famer, Chairman of the DCWF....
interestingly enough thats only within the DCWF walls...
maybe a few years down the road, Id certainly accept a lifetime acheivement award from the whole of the wrestling community....
not cause I deserve one now....
but something like that shows you've made a positive contribution. I recon thats what its all about, not what you take, but what you give.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Numbers Rossini: No nonsense, no bullshit approach to everything. If I see a foul I call it, dont really care what people think. But....
its easy to say that and act like a hardon behind a keyboard, you have to live it as well.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Numbers Rossini: Just one
The Bulls Horns
its a Torture Rack
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Since January of 09 so about 3 years now.
do you have any Dream Matches that you'd like to be in?
Numbers Rossini: I think the only person I havent Wrestled that Ive really wanted too is Derrick Zane, we move alot alike in promos and in the ring, it would be a well put togather show.
Thers lots of people id really like to tangle with in the ring. But if Im honest, I like watching more now, seeing some of the others pull off some of the stuff they do is awesome.
When Did You Retire from wrestling as wrestler?
At Wrestlefest III Febuary of 2011. It was definately time. I had been deep in running the DCWF by them, I couldn't do both, not without compromising both my integrity and my sanity. I dont think bookers should be regular wrestler, the temptation to strap yourself with a title is too great. I opted out of the ring. No regrets.
I know that DCWF has had some bad times what do you think is making DCWF Strong as a group?
Numbers Rossini: Thers a core group of us that refuse to give in. We've seen the good times as well and know there are more to be had. Everytime it gets tough we step up and overcome, others see that and are insipred, so the core group continues to grow.
And honestly, its kinda all for one and one for all, the self centered egos go as fast as they come. Noones bigger than DCWF, thats the first rule.
if you could name Five names that has been there and supported DCWF from Start to now who would you say has been the "Pillars" of DCWF?
Numbers Rossini: Theres many names..
Alpin Criss for starters, without him none of this would be possible for any group.
Then you have those who innovated then branched out into their own thing, Tenzan and Jenn among them.
they kinda paved the way for guys like me commin up, established the baseline for what I consider to be good wrestling.
Personality clashes aside of course.
Then Id say the glue that holds everything togather would be Kat Blackadder, she stepped up several times through several regime changes to emerge as a capstone, when alot of people were ready to fold up and give in.
And today, without my GMs Paula WIlcox and Vince Easterwood, things would be alot more difficult to manage, they bring something to the table that we absolutely need ... leadership.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?,
Numbers Rossini: Celtdans retirement match against Ari Lane, the buildup was highly emotional and so was the match.
Loody vs Derrick for the title. I enjoyed working with Derrick when he was in SLCW, hes a pro. I watched the match on stream and for using the ACWPS, rarely have I seen it worked better.
Misaki vs Ceri at Backyard Brawl 2010 was an enormous pop. I havent seen that much effort in a match since to be honest.
My favorite match of all time though, was Vince vs Mythil for the World Title last year at Wrestlefest. Those two always put on high quality matches, and seeing Churchboy win the title did me a world of good. Noone deserved it more. That man had waited years and done all that was asked of him without complaint, and never once had a shitty match. It was his time.
guys like Mythil , Bazza, and Jericho are doing with the NexGen and the matches just keep getting better.
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: More than I ever set out too Ill tell you that.
My application boasted wanting to be world champ. Check. At the first hall of fame induction after seeing Kitty get a statue, I knew thats where I wanted to be. Check. To have the crowd on its feet when I finally retired from the ring, they did. Check.
If you would have the chance to pick Two or Three People Female or Male who would you pick to form a tag team or a stable? and why
Numbers Rossini: LOL Interestingly enough I got to do that. With me Big Evil, Ari Lane, Mobeacha, and Vince as the MHP. That worked well for quite a while. I doubt I can conjure up a better group of people to work with in that way at this point. That stable just played.
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent and why?
Numbers Rossini: Id get all the bosses in one place ya know. Crul, Seth, Maxi, David, Vendetta, Maureenanne, and me. One rumble, lets get it out of our systems. Laugh about it and move on.
who trained you?
Numbers Rossini: Kat Blackadder. Shes proud to say she never had a finer student.
but
anyone can be trained to work the system, she showed me the prestige and value of what we were doing, and had a hand in me dropping the unhealthy side of my ego, to do better things for the DCWF.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Numbers Rossini: DCWF
I mean there were many great ones. Winning the DCWF title, the huge ovation right after my retirement match, I had been getting booed for years, for once the crowd loved me. Getting inducted into the DCWF Hall of Fame........
I think my finest moment though was when Drew had won the World Championship....
He was young, but the crowd loved him, we had built so much around it , it was the perfect storm, then he won....
He beat Vince and the crowd went nuts. In character I was livid, but I remember when it was over sitting there behind my keyboard with this huge shit eating grin on my face. 20 minutes later they were still celebrating....
I laughed and shut down sl for a it, opened a beer and relaxed, we had delivered, we had plain and simple just delivered. Those moments are what its about.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Kat first of all, she was right there with me from the beginning when I was a snot nose and kept me grounded. She still does to this day.
Vince and Paula, they are my rocks. They do the heavy lifting without complaint and always get the job done. Misaki for the amazing job she does with the building, she understands the vision and crafts it.
Alpin Criss was a huge influence on me AFTER I took my office. Ive had some very lengthy chats with him that have given me more perspective than anyone else.
All the great wrestlers who are out there now, and have come before me, those are the guys that innovate and shape this business every day. Without them were all dead in the water. Great staffs and performs make it all worth doing, they are owed much thanks for what they do.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Numbers Rossini: just the DCWF, heart is where the home is. I suppose though, had DCWF crumbled dead under a former owner, Ida joined up with HKWF, I always liked their product, never a bad thing to say about them.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Numbers Rossini: See my thank you list. lol. i suppose anyone can inspire me at any given time, thats how great ideas are born. If I took an honest look back I can see where many people have kinda inspired me in different ways about different things over the years. Pinpointing it would be a disservice to the small yet important things.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Numbers Rossini: I hadn't for a while. Im an old school WCW mark, those fuys were real. But Id say CM Punk has been awful damn real lately, he lays it out there and people eat it up, cause its truth. The truth spreads like a virus.
What kind of attire did you use when you were in the ring during a match?
Numbers Rossini: MAN PANTIES
I caught alot of hell for them too. But I wore them well and it was true traditional wrestling gear. Had a little silver Bull on the ass. Ver Rock like, very old school.
Alot of people said I looked like Goldberg, called me Numberg for a while. I took it as a compliment
Goldberg was badass
as probably most of us know theres some bad long blood between you and Seth... but my question is if you two were in a room what do you think would happen?
Numbers Rossini: LOL
i dunno how he really feels about me to be honest....
I saw alot of the things he did that made VWE successful, I also saw some of the lower brow stuff that went on. Not just rumor, mind you, first hand account stuff...
More to the point, I didnt see him taking responsiility for the things that were below board, blame always got shifted here there or to the board of directors......
the man has done some amazing things, I do credit him for that...but Im of the oppinion he should take responsibility for the things that went wrong, I suppe if I were in a room with him, Thats what Id tell him. Step up, do better, move on, thats the measure of a man isnt it?
: Do You think that DCWF and VWE will someday burry the Hatches and possible do a co-op Show in the future?
Numbers Rossini: I have no issue with the VWE as a company. It has alot of strengths, I personally and professionally recognise that. If the day comes I welcome it, and maybe with the new changing of the guard at VWE some old issues could get burried.
If The Wrestler Numbers where to go under the ring to pick an object what would that object be?
Numbers Rossini: A beer
It numbs the soul, try a numbweiser sometime. Its amazing.
what made you To Step in and Help preventing DCWF from falling?
Numbers Rossini: We found outselves without solid leadership long before the previous owners departure. Kitty got the top job and asked if Id be the VP...
it was a choice of do it, or risk the likelyhood of the DCWF going bye bye....
Kitty and I werent sure we could do all that needed to be done not only to keep the DCWF afloat, but to have it grow and thrive, we were hurting in those days.....
but if we didnt try we wouldnt know, so we decided to take a swing, and in many cases with alot of help and effort from our staff, we hit homeruns time and time again. We also screw stuff up too. But were not nearly afraid of that as we used to be. Failure is necesary for growth.
as there been any regrets?
Numbers Rossini: No regrets, just a few missteps here and there that Ive learned from and moved on from, I can't say there would be anything Id change out right, its been a good ride so far.
can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in DCWF?
Numbers Rossini: well three were on my top 5 all time
but Paula and Horses in an old school Brittish style match was hilarious. It was so dry and Brittish the crowd loved it and I couldnt stop laughing.
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Numbers Rossini: Feuds come and go
Numbers Rossini: thanks kinda the point cant. Say I have a top 5 really, But Derrick Zane and Curt were always entertaining. Drew and Resis used to wow the crowds......
I do like feuds dont get me wrong, but I love the matches that they lead up to even more I think, those are what I really remember .
I do like feuds dont get me wrong, but I love the matches that they lead up to even more I think, those are what I really remember .
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Numbers Rossini: Special match, 30 Sl Female Wrestlers in a bra and panties Royal Rumble. Think of what that would do for ratings.
has it been easy being part-owner of a federation?
Numbers Rossini: Not even close.....
Theres so manyt hings you have to consider, what yuor fans want, what your talent wans, and whats over all best for teh company. Its a tough juggling act. You want to keep everyone happy, but sometimes you just cant. Im blessed though to have good instincts, and a staff that trusts those instincts......
That and that alone helps midigate the frustration of not being able to be and do all things for all people.....
Whats the toughest though.....
Is sometimes you wander around feeling unappriciated, and I dont think its intentional on anyones part. But you always catch the negative, very rarely a thanks or show of appriciation.......
noone wishes you to feel this way, but it does come with the territory when yer looking after so many different interest and areas.......
but when a new guy gets it, or someone steps up hard and works for that strap, or a match goes off beautifully, and the fans go nuts, it makes it worth it. So to my DCWF Staff, say thanks once in a while bitches, DAMN. LOL
Those of us with the top job do alot, that people dont see.
But for me personally..
I love the DCWF and more than that the folks I work with. SO I cant say its not damn good.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Numbers Rossini: Rumors....
well...
dipshits cause rumors
and dont get me wrong, gossipis juicy and we all wanna hear it, its human nature......
the key though is seperating fact from fiction and believing the truth over dipshits......
sometimes what you hear is true, sometimes its false. First decide why you care one way or the other, if you find that you dont, then its all chalked to dipshittery. Look I coined a new word....
but these rumors come from a very evil place that relishes in the demise of others and the destruction of rivals, rather that a true appriciation for success.
is there any certain Federation you would love to work with your federation?
Numbers Rossini: We do alot of good work with HAWX and uHw now. I like surounding myself with no nonsense, honest, hardworking people. I love the branching out we sometimes do. The tricky part is being part of a larger group and maintaining the integrity and prestige of your own brand. Its difficult but rewarding.
if you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?

DWA- is without a doubt the most ambitious group out there, they dip there toes into alot of stuff, for better or worse, they have alot of drive.
DCWF- I think we train harder and continously put out the best match product out there. Our wrestlers beat themselvs up if thers a botch, we believe wrestling matters, and we prove it time and time again.
