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

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

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

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

Acheron: I would like to see a Triple Threat Match between Maxine, Jenn and Kitty (Katheryn Blackadder).
Tyress: If you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
Acheron: The Top moment of my career was the day I was accepted as wreslter in HKWF, without that one moment none of the rest of this would really have happened.
Tyress: Is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Acheron: Louve McMahon, for giving me a chance and beleiving in me. Jenn Parkin for being a someone I could talk to when i had an idea and needed more input to see if it would fly. Shinja for making me what I am today through a lot of grueling matches and giving me some very sage advice when i first steped into the SL ring. Maxine for allowing me to use her as a catalyst to propel my gimmick to new heights by becoming The Zombie, and all my friends and Family who keep me grounded and believing in myself.
Tyress: If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Acheron: HKWF, VWE, UWS/UHW
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
Acheron: Maxine, she's always got the answers to my questions, she helps me look at things from more than one perspective, and she gives 110% to making sure things get done when no one else can be there to do it.
Tyress: Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Acheron: RL wrestling I'd have to say The Undertaker, he's a big part of the inspiration behind The Voodoo King Persona. And all of the stories I hear about him from people that are in the business RL say he's a real down to earth guy as well as a leader in the locker room.
Tyress: If you have a custom Attire what is the colors?
Acheron: Mostly all black, when I'm working face, its mostly all white.
OWNER QUESTIONS
Tyress: Has there been any regrets in your decisions?

Tyress: Can you name your top 5 Favorite matches in your Federation?
Acheron: Curt Bombastic vs Derrick Zane, Myself vs Ryan Fury, Savannah Mohegan vs Lee Quirina to crown the 1st uHw Women's Champion, Honey Bluntz vs Alexa in the falls count anywhere match. and Wolfy Kessel vs James Hardy

Tyress: Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
Acheron: One more time, Shinja vs Acheron in a three stages of Hell Match.
Tyress: Has it been easy being the co-owner of the federation?
Acheron: Yes and No, There are times when I know exactly what needs to be done and do it without a problem, then there are times when I just want to grab someone by the hair and bash their face against the wall. People with their petty drama having a hissy fit over minor details without looking at the bigger picture.
Tyress: As we know there’s a lot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
Acheron: It all boils down to attention, some people can't wrap their head around the concept of working in the ring, which leads to them being underutilized if at all, so they start feeling resentment and start spreading rumors to keep themselves relevant but they don’t realize that most of the time the only person they are hurting is themselves.
Tyress: Is there any certain Federation you would love to work UHW?
Acheron: I'd love to see some cross branding between DCWF and uHw as well as VWE and uHw.
Tyress: If you could name top 3 Feds which would they be and why?
Acheron: uHw - Storylines, DCWF - Match variety and quality, VWE - Production Value
Tyress: what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
Acheron: It is slowly coming together the huge gaps that once existed are starting to be bridged, its making positive traction toward working together. I hope that it continues to progress.

Nova's interview with Vince Easterwood
want to say thanks to Vince for taking his time for this interview i enjoyed it very much :) if you want to be interviewed hit me up and i'll add you to the list! enjoy the reading!
give us a small introduction about yourself
Vince: I am Vince Easterwood, and I am the general manager of DCWF's Wednesday night Warzone.
IF you have a Stage/nickname: How did you get it?
Vince: Mine actually came very early, and really to no surprise, either. My nickname is "The Churchboy", and it came about when Eric and I were looking at entrance videos for me. He found one of the songs I knew very well, and everything just fit right into place from there.
How did you Find Second Life and what made you join?
Vince: I really didn't have much to do when I came across something about it just by chance on the internet. I didn't know what to really expect, but seemed like something I might be interested in at the time.
How did you get into SL wrestling?
Vince: That I remember vividly. Shortly after I started in SL, I happened to look for certain interests I had developed at the time, and one was in wrestling. When I found then SLCW, I immediately noticed the welcoming atmosphere around there, so I started coming more often as a fan before joining shortly afterwards.
What Made you decide to get into SL Wrestling?
Vince: Well, two things really. The wrestlers at the time were very welcoming towards me, and it was a lot better than anywhere else I was around at the time.
do you have a Dream achievement to accomplish in SL wrestling?
Vince: As of now, no. I've already gotten to do everything I could ever wish and hope I'd be able to do.
What do you think makes Your Character Special?
Vince: At the time, mine was unique in the nature of the character. However, even compared to those that have tried similar ideas, I don't play favorites and don't put down anyone unless they really bring it on themselves. Even as a fan, I just watch without any expression of bias to anyone, face or heel, except for the extreme exceptions.
what is the name of your finishers and what are they?
Vince: My main two are the Crucifix Armbar, which is more or less the armbar takedown, and the "Bear the Cross", which right now is meant to be a gory special setup into the backslide pin.
how long have you been in SL wrestling?
Vince: Just over 3 years as of Thanksgiving
do you have any Dream Matches?
Vince: For the future, no. From my past, there are two that ultimately were fulfilled dream matches. My "retirement" match vs Misaki Yumako and my match against Maxine Endrizzi during her time as the Zombie both were matches I wanted to do.
if you could pick 5 Matches in any Federation which has been your favorites?
Vince: This one is going to be hard, especially since so many do well. No particular order, that would have to include VWE's Vendetta vs Akasha Faulkes scaffold match, me vs Tenzan in the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match, and Drew vs Mike at Backyard Brawl. The last two aren't as easy to pick.
Gosh ... Ok, VWE's Night Terrors vs JHG stands out, and I believe HAWX's Ven vs Lilith, when the aftermath of the match ended up burning the building when they were about to move.
How long have you been in your current Fed?
Vince:over 3 years now
what have you accomplished in SL wrestling?
Vince: Where do I start there? First ever Inferno match, which became OMG/WTF moment of the year for 2010, held the World Heavyweight title twice, first time being the second shortest title reign at 5 minutes (giggle), International title once, Gimmick of the year in 2011 for the heel change I did during MHP, DCWF's Hall of Fame in 2011, and promoted to GM Warzone after my last full-time match this past August.
do you have a Dream Tag team Partner/Stable members?
Vince: I've always been kind of a loner myself, and there's really no one I could see as a tag team partner that would fit long-term.
if you could be the booker for 1 day and you could pick Any wrestler male or female from any fed who would you pick for the Mainevent?
Vince: I would probably put you Ty, Ven, Misaki, and Nanny in a fatal four-way match.
who trained you?
Vince: Despite her illness, Kat was my trainer.
if you have a top 1 moment since the beginning of your Career to now can you tell us about that and why?
VInce: My top moment has to be the entire main event at DCWF's "April Fools, Hardcore Rules" PPV in 2010. It started out with the "Pits of Hell" Inferno match between me vs Tenzan for the World Heavyweight title, and what made that moment special was just seeing the reactions from the fans between the end of that match to BigEvil coming down with a contract to grab the title away from me.
is there anyone you'd like to thank for being there since you began your adventure in SL wrestling?
Vince: There are a few I have to thank. First is Kat for training me on the system and giving me the basics. As much as most don't like him, second is Eric, since he helped me with the gimmick. Last one has to be Numbers for helping keep DCWF alive and thriving to what it is today.
If you have been in more then One Federation how many have you been in and what was the names?
Vince: I've only been in SLCW, which is now known as DCWF.
do you have anyone that inspires you in SL wrestling? and why?
VInce: There isn't anyone that really inspires me. I learn bits and pieces from everyone I watch and work with.
Do you have anyone that inspires you in RL wrestling and why?
Vince: Contrary to most, I don't follow RL wrestling much at all, so no.
If you have a custom Attire what is the colors? if not what is it based on?
Vince: The main color on my attire is white, but the symbolism on it is really what stands out.
can you name your top 5 Feuds in any Fed of SL wrestling?
Vince: Hmm ... again, really no particular order here, but me vs Tenzan, Ven vs Akasha, you Ty vs Rubie recently, MHP vs DCWF, and BigEvil vs Eric
Any Special Match you'd like to see? if so between who?
VInce: There's a few, but one that really stands out is a hardcore scramble match with MadMax, "Mad"Mike Freeman, Jenn, and Vendetta.
as we know theres alot of rumors in SL wrestling some are bad some are good what do you think causes these rumors?
VInce: The rumors we know about are usually caused by one of two things. First is when someone only presents half of the situation without knowing everything that's surrounding what happened. The second, which likely creates the first, is when someone misinterprets or more likely misconstrues what is done and said to make it better for themselves, falsifying some of the information in the process.
what is your opinion on the "SL Wrestling Community"
VInce: Personally, I see it in two ways. At the core, the community as a whole is more or less a common interest group. Doesn't matter who we are or what fed we're a part of, we all have that interest in common. If everyone would see that core first, I could easily see the feds starting to really come together peacefully, unlike what had happened in the past. However, going out from there, I see where, even if the different feds don't always agree on how things should be run, where each fed focuses on allows for people coming into the community to see what style best suits them.
you said your nickname in the ring is the Church boy is that something to do with RL or just something that came up?
VInce: Interesting you ask that. Yes, it is largely based on RL. It's really more an extension of who I am.
If VInce Easterwood would pull out an object from under the ring what would it be and why?
Vince: As much as the character isn't hardcore, since he'd never want to seriously hurt anyone, he'd probably go with glove-covered brass knuckles, and only as a defensive act.
Ten Question Game! i will say 10 names/words say the first thing that pops up in your head..

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

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

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. 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.

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.

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.
Ten Question Game! i will say 10 names/words say the first thing that pops up in your head..
1: VWE
A: Home
2: Wrestleseries
A: Beginning
3: DCWF
A: Talented Rival
4: Hardcore
A: Freak Jenn Parkin?
5: Shinja Ugajin
A: Tradition
6: numbers Rossini
A: Uninformed by Choice.
7: Maxine Endrizzi
A: Forgiven and Truly Respected
8: Future Superstar
A: Cody Houley
9: Commentator of the year
A: Benja Nirvana (He did commentate most of 2011)
10: Female wrestler & Male Wrestler of the year
A: Male: Brakman Wylder / Female: Tony Hanson (Just kidding, Rubie Jules)
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

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

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!
