The Words fade out and Pretty Vacant by the
Sex Pistols begins playing. As the Scene slowly cuts in on ON James Sitting
behind his Desk, the monitors behind him Flash Robbie Youngblood and Darksider
matches at random. He shuffles papers before looking up.
JAMES POTTERFIELD: Welcome back to the Asylum Efedders. This our Third Column/SHow. We got some kick ass interviews for you. Two Confrimed. Dan Rose of RAW/NEW/ICE fame, and with some luck will Get to Darksider 7 time RAWF champion, as well. That should be fun. These too guys should be great interviews. We got some takes. Those are always fun. Maybe a little Showtime talk.. Maybe not. Dont want to waste my time. He might cry.
I want to send this out to the efedders if you think this column is picking on you. Its not. Please dont be that arrogant. IF you get mentioned odds are you done something significant or retarded enough to get some ink. Dont take it personal. We wouldnt want anyone quitting RAWF or ICE or committing suicide. God knows Efedding is something worth committing suicide over. Why are people so damn sensitive on the Internet. Its the Freakin Internet for gods sake. Was I the only one who goes the sticks and stones memo?
Anyway. This should be one hell of show. We got Rose, Darksider and a classic match of the week. Maybe if we have time for it.
Heres an interesting question. If Bone crusher is such a great former RAWF star and so influential and such a veteran. Where the hell has be been the last 2 and half years? Why can he only mention stuff that 3 years too late. Why is it RAWF oldies like say Crippler or Bone Crusher or Trever Less seem to ignore the Horror Inc, Tommy payne, Tom E. Gun, Wilson Demon period all together? Trust ME Efedders stuff has happened since Darksider was last world champion. Believe it. Get off Darksider by the way. Leave him alone, everyone returning power wants a shot at Darksider it seems.
He sighs.
News flash talk about back from the dead. The RAWF is kicking again. Ten active rpers sure thats not a lot but nearly all them is kicking out multiple rps a week. Its small but strong roster. Which seems to be the staple of the RAWF. With Leiss, Crippler, and even Bone Crusher returning the roster is better. And the Coming Debut of Whoever the masked man is the roster is getting bigger. Actually word around the camp fire is one of the bigger names might be returning. Im not gonna tell but its not TRH before you all quit.
Now here something. Why does everyone care what Darksider thinks? Now hold up. Im not dissing the guy. But everyone seems to care so freaking about everything he freakin says. As if it the gospel. People Like Say Jimi or Showtime seemed to worry so much. A sdid the older class which has somehow become the newer class. It think what people need to understand about Darksider is hes an asshole, he will be and will always be an asshole or full of himself or whatever. I swear people worry too much about what other think. Take what he says with grain of salt unless .
For example: This Size weight/height limit debate ehs started in RAWF. He has some good points. The Fact of the Matter too many super heavy weight patrol the ranks of RAWF. Note to the Efedder just because you have a 8'3" 634 lb wrestler doesnt mean youre going to win. And that just makes it hard on the match writers. Matches between super heavy weight suck. Anyway not the point.
The Point is having a lot of 7 foot 400 lbs on the roster is silly. Captain Crush is something like 7'6" and that freaking tall. And Darksider sees this. And rping it up in the least subtle way posisble. HE want to make a rule like say no more than 7'2" of something, but the thing while a decent Idea and ideally having more regular heavy weights would be cool, that just too much thought control for me. IF you want to be 7'5" go for it just dont expect to be mobile or do anything more complicated than a chokeslam. AND that just not very interesting for match writers. SO that what Darksider is talking about. While height and weight have no bearing on who wins in RAWF still he has point. Should there be a rule. No. Maybe. Hsould existing guys have to change their guys? No.
But with Darksider is people cant just get along with some that doesnt agree with them all the time or is pleasant 100% of the time. And give his forceful personality I guess that why people have trouble getting along with him. OF their just pussies. Either way. IF you dont like some one just dont talk to them. You dont have to like or be liked by everyone thats just a the way it is regardless so of how love everyone thinks we should get along and how we should all love and get along and confrontation is. I mean maybe this is by product of our real world watching Internet viewing Everyone gets to bat in little league society well wake up that just not how it. Comfronttation arent bad. Get over it.
He shakes his head.
Im off on tangent here. Sorry.
Keeping with RAWF for a moment, Im happy Brandy has decided to start rping again. God job Champ! Way to go. Though I she has been beastly in the last 3 weeks Ill admit. And I think Im digger her Evil Dead 2 rippoff. I think. Im just waiting for her Imgaine to reach from the mirror and ask Weve just chopped up our girlfriend with a chainsaw do we seem ok?
He pauses hoping the Efedders get that.
Maybe not. I think the word Bitch only found its way into the last brandy rp 34 times so thats good.
The ICE/FIRE logo shows up on those tvs behind him.
So we just had an ICE ppv. Good over all Id say. The Monk William matchw as good till the end was little out there but not terrible. I kept thiking the cop were going to shoot one o them. Oh I could imaginie it. Sur ethe RAWF can get hardcore but now one been shot.. Er on a card. On Camera but I keep expecting to hear MY GOD MONK HAS BEEN SHOT And Williams is goign tf the Cover!
1.....
2....
3.. NO WHAT A KICKOUT!
Because that could happen in ICE. You could kick out of a gun shot wound. Maybe not. It was good match and thus another character is lost at sea, Simon Monk and Darksider. Who wants to beat Simon monk the character will be running Ice in yet anohter stealing the company angle by the end of the year?
Anyway most of the matches were solild. And the Mainevent was excellent till it had a controversial finish. Why is it you just cnat have a finish in ICE on PPV? What are the odds? Seriously when was the last time a ICE mainevent on PPV had a decisive finish that wasnt a screw job? Umm never. Heck when was the last time a freaking mainevent on a regular card just ended with a straight loss or win? Now I dont know what the deal was with that and whatever. I know Im just going to enjoy reading The Zero man won but the ref screwed Nothing. for the next 12 years. Nice Cover with the maybe he bribe d the official thing too... yea. Sure. BUT the match its self was good. Cant complain really. It was a solid show. Just why cnat the ending just be a good old pin would that hurt some one feelings or something?
Apparently so. Do you remember the ICE PPV where the champion should have lost but some how cheated and won despite looking bad?
I do. Its like that one episode of Friends. You know the one where they all hang out at the coffee shop the later hang out in Rachels apartment. That I loved that one.
But even so it was an excellent show. But Now We have a special treat .. Please give it up for Dan Rose joining the Asylum via MSN...
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Welcome Dan to the Asylum how are you doing?
DAN
ROSE:
I am doing well, thanks for having me
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Anytime. For the Brain dead out there please explain to the Efedder who your
are in the efedding world.
DAN
ROSE:
Well, currently I handle Robbie Youngblood in ICE. I used to handle Ian Brennan
as well. For those who go way back, I handled Luc Stevens. I also started and
ran RAW which later became NEW under Josh Richardson and then ICE under Simon
Monk.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Do you Feel ICE is an extension of the RAW/NEW federations? I guess I should
say given Simon's inisistance that it was not in the beginning...
DAN
ROSE:
Honestly I do, I think RAW was at the time a very innvative and fun efed. Alot
of people have made the transition from RAW to NEW to ICE. I think Simon was
afraid to say ICE grew in any way from NEW because NEW got downright ugly towards
the end.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
It did NEW seemed to grow alot of Disgruntled Efedders at the end.
DAN
ROSE:
RAW was my fed, and NEW was Josh and I...then I got sick and Josh ran it alone...it
went downhill Oh for sure. I mean, NEW was odd in the fact that Josh ran it
more geared towards who he wanted to win and how he wanted things to go, roleplays
aside.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Based on who won and who roleplayed that seems to be very much to be the case
DAN
ROSE:
Yes, but more than that, Josh often times had his winners picked from the time
it was booked...
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
He seemed to have favorites For instance Gabriel Wilde. dude was champion for
Two months not one rp
DAN
ROSE:
Haha...yes, Gabriel had a permanant get out roleplaying free card in NEW. I
think I had them(favorites), Josh had them and so does Simon
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Going off the favorites do you want to go out and say simon has guys that just
win for existing?
DAN
ROSE:
I think that is fair to say. It's a difficult role to play. I mean I understand
it fully as a former fed head. You have friends....and you tend to see your
friends work as better than it is at times.
There are ALOT of people who believe that's why Robbie Youngblood wins
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
They are, I must admit. It seemed in NEW that You were getting into PPV mainevent
just for returning.
DAN
ROSE:
Well in defending myself and Josh, NEW didn't have alot going on and a Robbie
Youngblood return was a big deal...haha. It bothers me a great deal when people
say I get what I get because Simon and I are boys. It always has and always
will
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
ON that note do you think NEW should have shut down 6 months before it did as
has been said at least tiwce on this show?
DAN
ROSE:
Oh for sure, NEW was kept alive on life support for a long time. It was stale
and boring and that's why I left. I came back and was put in a hot angle with
Lou Marquis and of course, the company finally folded the day before our match
was to happen. NEW should have closed its doors a few months before it did.
I think that alot of people were upset about efedding simply from those last
few months of NEW.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Do you think Lou Marquis was the greatest NEW champion of all time? As the hall
of Fame show said?
DAN
ROSE:
I think Lou Marquis is a good guy but he's no Simon Monk. The Hall of Fame show
was just the final extention of Josh's ego. Nobody cared about the Hall of Fame
show. You can't feed people bread and water for five months and then get them
excited for hamburger. Nobody cared at that point.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
It seemed alot about NEW was an extention of his ego, though my thoughts on
Josh are fairly obvious Slowing it down a bit, how long have you been in Efedding?
DAN
ROSE:
Well, I started way back in 96
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
As Robbie Youngblood or did oyu ahve painfully obvious rip off start out character
like the rest of us?
DAN
ROSE:
My first guy was Luc Stevens....he was a ripoff of Shane Douglas' ECW character.
His first few years in E-Fedding were big. I think in 98 he made it up the RSFPW
Top 200 list all the way to 12 if I remember correctly. I was big into that
stuff...haha...I think my fed made the list too that year.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Everyone has that has to get on the lists and rankings period in their efedding
lives.
So you were Ian Brennan
DAN
ROSE:
Yes
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Why did you leave so mysteriously after becoming champion?
DAN
ROSE:
Well, I left because my work was blowing up at the time and I couldn't do both.
I talked to Si and left on good terms. I didn't want the whole cliche ending
so I left without any fanfare....of course later I decided I wanted that cliche
so I brought him back to shoot and leave.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
OK I asked this to Kev last week why is it ICE champion don't seem to last after
becoming Champion?
DAN
ROSE:
That's a difficult question, I've noticed it too. I think that you kind of work
to get there and then it's like...now what. Defending the title for me wasn't
nearly as fun as earning it.
I am one of those babies who gets frustrated at things. I can't seperate e-fedding
from real life...haha. Watching Jon Wayne succeed was a driving force in me
leaving...
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Why the Jon Wayne hatred?
DAN
ROSE:
He's an ass alot of the time
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Personally he's never been an ass to me, I've heard things too ,but never experienced
them. I feel left out. What asshole things has he done?
DAN
ROSE:
Oh boy....well, he takes the whole thing too far sometimes. If I had a dollar
everytime he told me he was ICE's Undertaker I'd have bus fair from here to
the moon. He has done and said things that were just very assholicious. When
I was leaving and taking Ian out, he wanted me to let him end his career. Robbie's
too.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
That is pretty persumptios(sp?) of him
DAN
ROSE:
Oh for sure. I am old fasioned I guess but he hasn't been around long enough
to request the things he does. I've paid my dues....I know that doesn't seem
to make sense to alot of people but I have.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
So its safe to say you not in the Jon Wanye fan club?
DAN
ROSE:
Very safe to say
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Dues are a tricky subject in Efedding but I want to stay on the subject of Wyne
for a second
DAN
ROSE:
I've talked to him and been friendly but it's been no secret that I think he's
an idiot fair enough
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Which is more disgusting to you in in character sense...
The Zero Man esque selling out stuff or Wayne drapping himself in the American
Flag?
DAN
ROSE:
Well they both are interesting, I think Zero selling out is at least fresh.....Wayne
draping himself in the American Flag is distasteful He's always on people about
being ripoffs and his damn name is Jon Wayne, and drapes himself in the flag.
He thinks because he dropped the H people don't scratch their heads and say,
Jon Wayne, where have I heard that before?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
True. Is it at least a little comforting knowing Zero is being Satircal were
Wayne just is?
DAN
ROSE:
Jon is just one of those people who despite how many Jurasic Park or Star Wars
collectibles he acumulates will never be cool. Oh for sure, there is a huge
difference between what Zero does to try and be original and humorous and what
Jon does thinking it's "rad"
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
OK this has become the Wayne hour so lets move on a bit.... top Five Champion
in RAW/NEW?
DAN
ROSE:
Wow...
DAN
ROSE:
To me in RAW/NEW people had moments when they were incredible. Simon and Gabriel
Wilde are probably one and two Preacher was awesome at number 3 I think Insane
in the Membrane sucked horribly but Insane Jack Taylor was great and consistant
at number 4. There were moments when I loved Kristopher Kabal. But Sean Slade
was awesome too I dont know...I don't remember stuff well. As far as champions
and great names. I just remember in my mind who I thought was great .... I have
a bit of a memory issue...haha....I never know if Czar and Sean Slade were in
RAW or was that back in AWA? I don;t know
DAN
ROSE:
But I do know Simon and Gabe carried RAW for a very long time In NEW it got
to much into Josh and Me....we made ourselves too big ... something I thought
Simon was in danger of at the beginning of ICE I've run too many feds....they
all blend
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Hmmm Have you ever made yourself world champion of your own fed?
DAN
ROSE:
Guilty as charged. I ran Robbie Youngblood in my own fed for awhile and made
him a champion
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
For how long?
DAN
ROSE:
I loved being a fed head but I missed roleplaying He wasn't champ long
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Now I think just about ever fed head I've been under, Yourself, Josh, Chaos
of RAWF, Keith Thomas*shudders* is guilty of this And I don't have anything
againist it he's gonna lose the big match to some one and get whoever over but
for example Donovan Briggance beating some one without rping is borderline maddness
DAN
ROSE:
true yeah...I think Simon does that VERY well. He uses his guys to elevate other
guys. He is way more diplomatic than I was in that regard...haha
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I almost think Simon does it too much. If you have to be 11 guys in your own
fed I think that a problem
DAN
ROSE:
yeah he might....sometimes I think he does. I hate that he made Simon a wrestler....I
hate it
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Fire/ICE split good or bad idea?
DAN
ROSE:
Good on paper....I'll let you in on something....
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Go for it
DAN
ROSE:
I approached Simon with that idea long before it ever happened. I would run
one half and he the other....it was right after the RAW/Smackdown split. We
kicked it around for awhile and I was away for awhile....when i came back, Simon
and Josh had just done it. They drafted Robbie and Ian while I was away from
ICE. They didn't know if I'd come back or not.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
You do seem to come and go alot
DAN
ROSE:
I travel alot. I make my living in Mixed Martal Arts so I am at alot of events.
Plus sometimes, I can't get into the whole ICE scene. When Jon Wayne was running
around like the boss I had to dissapear for awhile....I'm back for awhile....I
have no plans on going anywhere
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Ok
DAN
ROSE:
I want to win the World Title one more time.....with Robbie....just to get the
little birds chirping. Those people who like to talk the shit about me but never
to me I guess so...I shoudn;t let it bother me...but it does
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Of your experience who do you want to see come back?
DAN
ROSE:
Well, there are guys like James Trent, Pheonix X, Sean Slade and Czar from the
old days...I think ICE isn't the same without Lee Chang Jack Taylor is part
of this....the whole RAW/NEW/ICE thing he should be here.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
He burned out Alot accoridn to last column
DAN
ROSE:
And ya know, despite being a bit of a cancer at times, Josh should be here too
yeah, he had quite a run, he's earned his break
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
From my talks with various people did you know that at one point you were on
the broken jaw list? or the to be broken jaw list?
DAN
ROSE:
I dont know what that is
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Or one of Van Kleff hits?
DAN
ROSE:
oh...I remember Wayne saying Robbie had a broken jaw but I had no clue what
he was talking about what's that all about
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Van Kleff was breaking the jaw and ending the careers of a few people that either
had quit were unreliable or whatever
DAN
ROSE:
lol Well, that's ok.....he broke my jaw but here I am
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I recall Youngblood getting mentioned as possible but I don't think it happened
If It did damn I just don't pay attention What was the most insane angle you've
ever been in?
DAN
ROSE:
oh, back in the day there was a guy named Infestation who committed suicide
on a show. My deal was to come out and badmouth him and it got WAY OUT OF CONTROL.
It got personal....
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
ooc personal?
DAN
ROSE:
Yes, OOC personal....phone calls were made....it was stupid
For the most part, I've been involved in decent stuff....the all time best was
booting Jon Wayne out of the Fellowship without him ever knowing it was coming.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Phone calls?
DAN
ROSE:
yes, the handler called me and was very upset....saying I tainted his art or
somthing...it was very silly
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I've heard ot people calling each other about efeds stuff but that a little
too hardcore for me...
DAN
ROSE:
yeah, I blew him off
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
how close too real pro wrestling does efedding have to be for you ?
DAN
ROSE:
I think there should be some paralells. When I was a fedhead I tried to make
is realistic I don't think it has to be too close to the real thing but to me
the realistic always comes off better.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Did you find the final Lou Maquis angle with I forget who....and Justice getting
Molested or Raped thing to be just little silly?
DAN
ROSE:
yeah, I sure did. it's too much, going too far. I mean I think doing that takes
the place of being creative. Thats like The Big Show straddling his fathers
coffin as it's pulled through the cemetary by Big Boss Man.....it's too obvious....where's
the thought provoking in that?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I my opinion if you want to tread in that territory you better have one hell
of a story and/or writing ability up the ass to make it non hokey.
DAN
ROSE:
I'd agree with that I don't think there is the same level of working with other
people now as there was in the past. I remember working with two or three guys
to pull off a MAJOR angle....now it's more every man for himself remember when
angles used to run for months? Now it's PPV to PPV
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
That seems to be by product of our age though
DAN
ROSE:
very well could be
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
though it could be laziness aswell
DAN
ROSE:
alot of that going around
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Who is high on your list in ICE right now?
DAN
ROSE:
I think Jonah is excellent. I think Zero's stuff is great. I think Montreal
is at times entertaining.....then there is a sizable drop I think ICE is not
as talented now as it was six months ago
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Why is that?
DAN
ROSE:
Well, I think Lee Chang was excellent. I think Ian Brennan had his moments.
I just think there was more competitivness and better work before the split
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
This time of years seems to play hell on efeds
DAN
ROSE:
true....there are honestly only a few guys I even enjoy right now right now
it's not as entertaining to me
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Maybe it just because you've been around so long? OK I see this in ICE and in
RAWF why do Board efedders dislike Email and vicsa versa?
DAN
ROSE:
I think it's what you're used to. Personally I hate board efeds
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Personally I can do either with out much of drop off
DAN
ROSE:
I like getting the roleplays sent in one packet...but to be truthfull I don't
have a definitive reason ... something I can put my finger on as to why I like
it less. I think the board fed I was in put WAY too much influence on people's
ability to use HTML and stuff. They were loaded with pictures and fancy logos
and to me, that's not important
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
its not or it shouldn't be, but its fun to shoot in a logo.
DAN
ROSE:
fun yes....I think it should be accepted but no extra weight should be given
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Who don't you like in ICE right now?
DAN
ROSE:
Well, I dont like Wayne, obviously. I don't like Nate Shaft....I think he's
an ass as well.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Why no love for Nate shaft? is it an OOC thing or just rp style?
DAN
ROSE:
he's always been one of those guys I dislike OOC he's a crybaby and a two faced
kind of person
It makes it difficult to enjoy his character. He's supposedly a comedian but
it doesn't translate itself into his roleplays like I believe he thinks it does.
The Wayne this is a combo of OOC and his character....mostly his character
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
ok Now word around the camp fire was that Josh left on one occasion I think
as Drake, because of Wayne is there any truth to that and or have you left ever
under similar circumstances?
DAN
ROSE:
Yeah, Josh was VERY unhappy about all that. Personally....no, I've never left
like that. I've been upset....when I beat Jon Wayne recently....it upset me.
But not to the point of packing up and going home.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Yea I've never seen how some could allow themselves to be run out of efed by
some one else that just giving some one too much power in my view
DAN
ROSE:
Yeah...that whole thing was very very ugly. They got in an OOC fight and Simon
told them both if they did it again they'd be fired. It upset Josh that SImon
would take that stance being the history he's had with Simon. Josh/Simon and
myself go back. And for Simon to take that stance hurt Josh. I think it was
out of line for Simon to say that as well....but I dont think Josh should have
left
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Would you have taken that stance?
DAN
ROSE:
No way.....if two guys dislike each other and go at it OOC.....that's between
them. It's not an ICE thing. For Simon to tell Josh if they talked like that
again they'd be fired from ICE was overstepping his power. It was an asinine
situation, but Simon should have stayed out of it.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Hmmm I can see if they were always on the OOC board with it then he should step
in but if it just in IM then it to them
DAN
ROSE:
At that point, ALOT of people had problems with Wayne, OOC so I believe that
Simon should have looked alittle deeper before making a blanket statement like
that. If Simon had told me that I'd have told him to go shit in his hat. That's
not his business to tell me how to conduct myself OOC Wayne stirred things up
and Josh didn't know how to hold his tongue....it was inivetable that they'd
have their blowup
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Yea I got dragged into by just being myself, I just personally found it annyoing
that JOsh after quit, he was still coming on the OOC board to blast wayne which
I found kinda silly, though I realize that Wayne is supposed to be an asshole
but really he's never been one to me
DAN
ROSE:
Well they had their little spat in IM I believe.... Nobody has ever accused
Josh of being level headed
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I know but it was spilling onto the board and once that happens its public domain
DAN
ROSE:
it was laughable....just one of those things....two guys with big egos. And
Josh kind of believes he's owed a little because of his relationship with Simon
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
though I understand if it between them in IM then its between them but if it
comes onto the board then it the fed business and it began to spill onto the
board a little, though Simon seemed to be bit paraniod of any "OOC WARs"
as The ooc board was almost taken down because kev and my self had a massive
politcal debate
DAN
ROSE:
absolutely....when it's on the board, Simon has to try and keep the peace yeah,
I almost pulled that board once...lol. I ran the webpage and the board for a
long time
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Did you ever ditch the RAW/NEW board?
DAN
ROSE:
Nah....almost a couple times but never did I was VERY unhappy at NEW period...I
almost ditched e-fedding period when NEW started...lol
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Are ooc wars really such a bad thing?
DAN
ROSE:
hell no they are a good thing....I like to see people do battle with their words
and wits
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
and it seem people care more when they are ooc warring
DAN
ROSE:
I believe thats true I dont know where the idea of people having to get along
in efedding ever came from
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Wait you didn't like NEw from the beginning? Care to explain that then we have
to get to wrapping this up?
DAN
ROSE:
Well sure.....NEW was something Josh did behind my back I ran RAW and then I
got sick....very sick. I was still trying to keep RAW alive and I depended on
Josh for a month to do it. When I came back from the hospital....RAW had been
shut down and Josh had opened NEW with someone else. They closed my fed without
me knowing and then he started another fed without me being involved. I was
very unhappy
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Who was the some one else?
DAN
ROSE:
Nick Ucci
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Who is that? I have no idea
DAN
ROSE:
Well, he was someone who used to efed quite a bit and was someone I RARELY saw
eye to eye with he's a friend of Jordan Breen.....and now I think he's an ok
guy but for quite a while I disliked him pretty badly and for Josh to do that
to me was very hurtful
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Especially when josh seems to take things of that nature personally himself
DAN
ROSE:
oh of course....Josh would have gone nuts had I done that to him.That's something
I've got to give to Simon....when he became co-new owner with Josh he ran the
idea by me first....out of respect
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Honestly did you ever read that TTW thing?
DAN
ROSE:
Well, he sent some of it to me via email but no, I've never read any of it.
I just wasn't into it Josh was very into that idea but I couldn't get into it
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Thats understandable I tried to read the first "shows" but I couldn't
get into it. This is almost too just plain bashing but I think that was his
perfect efed no else rping no else with opinions to bother him
DAN
ROSE:
haha hey, that's a true statement.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Anyway I ahte to cut out like this but thanks for coming on the show/column
DAN
ROSE:
for real it was my pleasure....I think honestly I get a little bit of a bad
rap sometimes...haha.So I was happy you allowed me a forum to kind of speak
frankly
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Anytime
DAN
ROSE:
thanks
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
just drop aline This column is free to all
DAN
ROSE:
right on...it's an excellent column
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
thanks See you around the ICE world
DAN
ROSE:
Sounds good
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
peace
DAN
ROSE:
no problem...thanks again. Talk to you soon
The Scene goes backs to James.
That was a good interview I think. I
expected him to be a bit more hostile. But whatever. Good interview. A little
later in the show were going to have Darksider I hope. and the take o
the day. SO that should be fun.
Can I ask why the hell Joshua Shark or whatever is the ICE Commissioner? HEs
been so in storylines for like 3 months and has ever done anything? Ahhh.
News flash: Apparently Purple isnt dead. I kinda felt that anyway. If you were killed i dobt your next of kin would bother to come to your Efed and tell them... ON aslightly unrealted note I think that Christopher Columbus on the ICE ooc board is Da thug. Not 100% but fairly sure... if only his actual rps were as interesting as his OOC posts Dude is more interesting posting on the OOC board than his rps.
James Shrugs.
Word is Were going to behaving Darksider in studio.. Hes joining us now...
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Hello Mister Darksider Welcome to
the Asylum
DARKSIDER:
Howdy James, it is a pleasure to be here.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Traditionally we hear at the Asylum need to know who your are
so For the brain dead tell the people who your and what make you relevant.
DARKSIDER:
Well jeez... if someone tuning into this interview doesn't know who I am they
must have been living under a rock for the past 3 years! I'm Darksider! You
know... the SEVEN TIME SEVEN TIME SEVEN TIME SEVEN TIME SEVEN TIME SEVEN TIME
SEVEN TIME RAWF World Champ! Shall I elaborate further?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
OK Champ clam down, the ICE people have no idea who you are
DARKSIDER:
Oh yes... the ICE people Well I have no idea who they are either, anyways
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Well humor me
DARKSIDER:
I have been a mainstay in the RAWF for the past 3 and a half years. Now this
is going to be very hard to explain without sounding super cocky and egotistical,
but what the Hell, I am both of those things anways. For somewhere around 2
years my name sort of struck fear in the hearts of every other wrestler/roleplayer
in the RAWF. Even if they don't want to admit it I actually used to scare people
away from the RAWF. I like to try and tell myself I am the reason the RAWF began
using the excuse that Storylines can also deside wins.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
How so?
DARKSIDER:
because I was winning too many matches and losing virtually none, especially
none without controversy.
So after so long I began going of and on through various death and dissapearance
angles to behind the scenes roles in RAWF then back to wrestling again.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Indeed and your back to rping again now.. but let go back to that scaring people
thing
DARKSIDER:
Lets...
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Why is it people Like Say, Leiss or Showtime or the 187 that existed before
you "Died" was afraid of whatever you want to call and the later entrants
like Say Tommy Payne and the 5150 wasnt?
DARKSIDER:
Why were they terrified by me and the second generation of TRD's and TRH's weren't?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
yea basically
DARKSIDER:
Well for one the second generation grew a set of balls... and included some
very talented RPers. the best since I showed up in 99' And also, as I said before.
As I said before, the "Angles win over RPs" thing was created just
as TRD and TRH and others came in
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
OK Is bone Crusher really as good as his 3 time world champion status lets on?
DARKSIDER:
And Bone Crusher really as good as his accomplishments suggest?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Humor us
DARKSIDER:
Well, for the time he definitely was. But he really isn't some bright shining
star that stands out above the rest anymore now is he?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Did he just kinda get worse or what?
DARKSIDER:
I'm not saying the man can't hang with the boys in RAWF... he just doesn't hang
above them as he might have been at the start
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
OK
DARKSIDER:
Me on the other hand.... just kidding... aren't I?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Speaking of past rpers who would like to see return form like the 1999-2000
set?
DARKSIDER:
Hmmm... Definitely Maul/Simon Grundy
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Everyone likes Maul it seems.
DARKSIDER:
Brian Eidson also, if he could stay consistant, which he's proven in past return
attempts that he no longer can I can honestly say Maul has given me more competition
back in my title days than anyone else
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Yea it seems the older set doesn't have the patience to re build
their rep so to speak
DARKSIDER:
it gets hard when you get older... especially since E-wrestler careers and life
times go by at least 10 times as fast
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
that seems to depend on who the rper is
DARKSIDER:
by the time the real life handler of the wrestler is 19-20 99.9 percent are
done with this stuff. Chaos and some others on the other hand a proof that for
a lack of a way to not sound corny, have it in their blood
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
have you ever rped as a different character?
DARKSIDER:
I have RPed as 1 or 2 other characters which flooped rather quickly
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Name them Chief
DARKSIDER:
I'd rather not get into "The Shape" from SCW
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
hahahah
DARKSIDER:
I honestly cant remember the name of the other one
DARKSIDER:
It was a woman named Tammy or something
DARKSIDER:
For those who don't know who I am talking about, you're very lucky
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Speaking Of SCW can you explain to me and the efedders something. If you don't
exactly get along with someone OOC, and have gotten into fights
with them on semi regular basis why do you go to making a fed with them?
DARKSIDER:
I have no way of explaining that to you... I've been wondering that ever since
the concept of SCW. Which I was actually 1/3rd manager of I believe Commissioner
Specs was my name
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
It seems the place was run by three people who variously hated each other guts
given the day...
DARKSIDER:
Needless to say I got out of there rather quickly. That was shining proof that
taking all your buddies from one fed and putting them in your own doesnt
work out when you promise all of them fame and titles and high spots on cards
and over half of them are bad RPers
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Yea what was funny in my opinion, just as that particular fed showed promise
of growing above of Showtime's little jack off idea and let his friend win fed
he shut it down eeeerrrrr... it was "hacked"
DARKSIDER:
Riiiight... hacked, but that issue is best left untouched
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Well since certain people hate this column anyway who cares? Speaking of issues
that should be left untouched why are you member of the You make the RAWF unfun
club?
DARKSIDER:
I think the answer of that question is obvious. because I make RAWF unfun to
people who dont have the time/patients/skill/drive to RP, when they want to
win. Where as when I want Darksider to look badass and win matches, I RP, and
try a little when I do so
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
ok moving on
DARKSIDER:
yeah... I think I summed that one up in a nutshell
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Have you ever rped in afed other than RAWF?
DARKSIDER:
SCW, BACW, and you wouldnt happen to remember the name of that one fed
we tried to invade?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I wasn't around yet
DARKSIDER:
You remember... the one that made me lose the RAWF title to one of there guys
like a week after we got there so I got pissed and quit . Oh... you weren't.
Too bad that was tons of fun
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
That was before my time but do elaborate
DARKSIDER:
I think I've elaborated as much as possible. Chaos needed the summer off because
he was moving from New Orleans to Ohio, and he found a fed that agreed to take
us in as a separate entity "invading" there show this was well before
the WCW invasion of WWF
DARKSIDER:
any ways, we went in and they abused the hell out of us making us lose matches
and made me lose my title after they told us we werent aloud to go for
their titles yet cause we were new. I quit and when RAWF reopened we disregarded
there little shenanigans and I still held the title
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
sounds frighteningly like that WCW/WWF invasion
DARKSIDER:
I wonder how long the guy over there kept my title
JAMES POTTERFIELD:
are you an asshole?
DARKSIDER:
am I an asshole!? Thats a very good question
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
you heard me
DARKSIDER:
Im sure a lot of people would say that. Its amazing what being around and having
a big impact on a place like RAWF for over 3 years will do to you
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Do you think people take you too seriously?
DARKSIDER:
Im not an asshole, but I'm pretty confident about myself after knowing the ins
and outs of RAWF like I do. People definitely take me too seriously
DARKSIDER:
I mean... it's not life and death. We are making decisions for a game, if I
saw something screwed up, I brought it up straight out Its nothing to get all
huffy and puffy over...
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I agree
DARKSIDER:
If there is something I dont like I dont hesitate to make it known.
That made a lot of people call me an asshole. So be it
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Ok
DARKSIDER:
Was it TRH or TRD who told me to get off my High Horse?
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Both from time to time
DARKSIDER:
well thats been being said for around 2 years now, and look at me I'm
still on the horse.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I know I think the high horse came from you being away for quit some time and
then just returned and start yelling at everyone and quoting rules... Do you
love to correct James outlaw?
DARKSIDER:
I love to correct everyone... But it may seem like I love correcting him cause
he needs corrected quite often
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Kinda like showtime?
DARKSIDER:
you hit the nail on the head On a side note... I have a feeling I wont be making
Showtimes top 200 list after he reads this
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Aren't you already off that list? How can some one have 200 people
on there buddy list?
DARKSIDER:
Oh no I had TRD make him feel bad for me so he made room for me
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
hahahah
DARKSIDER:
I dunno.... I have 100 but I've had my screen name for 4 years and never deleted
one name
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
no do you just dislike Showtime so much or is he just that easy
to mess with?
DARKSIDER:
Yeah theres a big misconception. Showtime bud if you are out there...
I love ya pal (even though he might take that homosexually which he DOES NOT
like to kid about) Hes just real easy to screw around with
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Please explain the "suicide" rp.
DARKSIDER:
That came from no where
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
The Satirical one
DARKSIDER:
Well to explain that I should briefly explain the real one
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
wait before you do
DARKSIDER:
Well actaully I did 2 suicide RPs satirizing Showtime's suicide attempts
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
explain away, go nuts
DARKSIDER:
He doesn't seem so depressed anymore
DARKSIDER:
He used to have a bunch of ICKY girl problems I really dont want to get into
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
we just might
DARKSIDER:
but I think now hes just happy to be workin' at the dollar tree... pimpin'
his hoe... and running Wrestling Videogame news sites
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
but go back to the sucide rp
DARKSIDER:
Okay Suicide RPs boy what fun! Well during the many dramatic Showtime love affairs
and break ups and weddings and kids growing 3 times the rate of a normal human
being
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
haha
DARKSIDER:
he decided to take the root of a character who had had enough and cant stand
it so he went onto a roof and was about to jump off when Trever Leiss came out
and somehow talked the distraught show down they cried... they hugged... it
was magical
DARKSIDER:
I ended up doing 2 parodies of this because lets face it one isn't enough when
something is this good
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
true
DARKSIDER:
One was an extreme close up of me crying and threatening to jump and take my
life. So dramatic. Then as I said goodbye to the world the camera panned out
to show me jump off my hotel bed and land on the floor laughing hysterically.
The Showtime bashing ensued
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
and that was off camera rp that showtime did wasn't it?
DARKSIDER:
The second one was a dream sequence that involved Showtimes current girl
getting run over by Lil Bow Wow in a monster truck and Showtime and Leiss passionately
kissing and then jumping from the rafters of a Basket Ball arena
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I recall that one too
DARKSIDER:
I cant remember if the showtime thing was off camera. I dont know if that
was just a bit before the whole off camera on camera debates and which was which
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Speaking about off camera stuff was nearly a mortal sin
DARKSIDER:
LMAO... yeah it used to be
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Are you at all impressed with any of the current RAWFers?
DARKSIDER:
You are really putting me in a tough spot there
DARKSIDER:
People like Brandy have always had it
DARKSIDER:
but there lack of consistency these days is bogging them down in terms of impressing
me
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
name one that you don't mind reading these days
DARKSIDER:
But hey I've suffered from lack of motivation already in my second week back
so I know where they come from. When Crippler's on his game he has it... I dont
mind reading Crippler RPs
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
ok I went so far as to say if Outlaw go consistent he'd be a
legit challenger for the World title would you go that far? that is if a member
of this family didn't die every week or something I love excuses..
DARKSIDER:
Yes I'd go that far with Outlaw... consistency considered
DARKSIDER:
By the way can I clear something up that seems to be confusing MANY members
of the RAWF who were present back in the Grave Digger days? Anyways to everyone
who may be confused! GRAVE DIGGER the person... a true friend of mine... is
NOT writing any of my current material. He has agreed to allow me to use his
character in MY writing as my manager. It's all coming from my head. I just
wanted to make sure people understood that
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
thanks for clearing that up
DARKSIDER:
You are so welcome
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
But somehow think that the mistake will still be made
DARKSIDER:
undoubtedly
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
So what was the deal with BACW?
DARKSIDER:
Yikes...
DARKSIDER:
to put it briefly... Too good to be true I ventured over there when Chaos disappeared
and it was unclear if he was EVER coming back. It offered opportunity for hard
workers. I thought "hey, thats me"
DARKSIDER:
But when I got in there were guys who had been there for like a year or 2 that
were running the show. And I would RP better then them and not beat them because
it wasn't my time yet. They actually completely chewed out a good friend of
Mine TRD when he tried to join in and thats when I realized they were
assholes and left. To my knowledge the same guys that were on top then 2 years
ago, still are now. No changes at all.
DARKSIDER:
Now people could say RAWF is like that. But trust me it is not! If you join
in and you actually try.... get 3 decent RPs out a week, you will see results
in NO time!
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
especially now, 2 would work...
DARKSIDER:
People just never seem to want to get over that first hurdle if they lose their
first match because they werent expecting the competition. They RP once.
Get put up against a guy like Outlaw and of course Outlaw is gonna win... and
then they fade away.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
angle system yeah or nay?
DARKSIDER:
Definately NAY
DARKSIDER:
Of course if 2 wrestlers have a great angle and agree that for it to work someone
has to lose a match regardless of the RPs... and they go to the bookers, I see
no problem with that. But bookers shouldnt have to FORCE write angles
especially ones that cause the better RPer to job
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Hmm See my view is this, if the rps are there and the one person at least puts
forth a good effort maybe do an angle if it helps. yet in my waning years I
really think rps should run the day and angle come second
DARKSIDER:
Yeah I think you got it right there I mean there are exceptions
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
if you could really ignite feud do an angle
DARKSIDER:
but I've started losing way too many matches for an angle that led nowhere anyways
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
but if its win its win
DARKSIDER:
If there is a killer feud and angle in mind then by all means carry it out
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Ok do you remember the Shadow?
DARKSIDER:
Of course He carried the belt for RAWF during one of it's barren Roster returns
from hell
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
so was he really getting held down like everyone says he was once things picked
up? Or when the competition picked up was he just a deer caught in the head
lights?
DARKSIDER:
I dont really remember him getting held down. He won the world title and
once he got it he quickly faded away... its more his fault then anyone elses.
So it took him a bit longer to get there... when he did he should have hung
onto it
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I find it hard to complain that he was held down Especially after he barely
rped despite being in Two PPV mainevents in row. He just burned out.... Do you
buy into the that guys gonna win anyway so Why should you rp theory that a lot
of the RAWFers used to have when it came to rping against like say you, Sangria,
or a TRH?
DARKSIDER:
Definitely not. There was one time back before there were RP limits, that I
had a match with Showtime
for the title and I went away for a day and came back 4 hours before deadline
and he had 7 RPs up and I had nothing and in those 4 hours I did a series of
Rps titled "2 can play at that game parts 1-7" and ended up beating
him
DARKSIDER:
so anything is possible as long as you're willing to put in the effort
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Yea but do you like not "having" to rp as much as you used to
DARKSIDER:
Of course after that happened Showtime quit for a few months in a huff puff
because I showed him whos boss of the cheap throw out as many RPs as you can
the last minute game
DARKSIDER:
Hell yeah I like it... Do you think I could still come up with 5 a week? IMPOSSIBLE!
I have trouble doing 2 .
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Is it me or were the people complaining that the RAWF had to rp too much were
the same people pushing the bar in terms of putting out a shitload? Like Showtime
would complain that it was too draining to have to rp 6 times a week but then
he would do like 7
DARKSIDER:
It definitely isn't you... that was the case
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
I suppose this is the whole quanity/quality debate
DARKSIDER:
I am looking at my watch here and I got to tell ya James... It's getting close
to Buffy time! I can't miss an all new Buffy the Vampire Slayer on UPN "the
other side of Tuesday!" We need to wrap this up!
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Ok ok a few more things. then you can go on you're way
DARKSIDER:
Alright
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
This is in the same vein as the last question. Do you find if funny that Showtime
would complain about politics when himself was one of the biggest "politicians"
around
DARKSIDER:
Once again when you're right you are right... I did find that funny
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
can you elaborate or are you just trying to make me seem like the mouth piece?
DARKSIDER:
Well... what can I say, you are right. Besides I was on vacation when Show huffed
and puffed and blew RAWF down then left. Isn't that when he went off on his
politics spat? By the time I returned Chaos had conveniently picked up the peices
and gotten rid of all the hub-bub.
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Depends he always moaned about but didn't actually come out and
say till after his little boycott was pointed out after he was jobbed from the
tag titles
DARKSIDER:
So I missed the whole boycott spiel
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Yea that seems to happen alot apparently show dropped the Fbomb in the title
so thats why it was deleted from the board god knows the RAWF
would die if the 14 year old heard or read the f bomb in rps or ooc posts
DARKSIDER:
I have mixed feelings about that, I think it makes someone seem a lot less intelligent
when they drop the F bomb excessively anyways and censoring it ads a little
realism to how it would be portrayed on television
DARKSIDER:
Like remember when HBK got killed in a parking lot like for the 3rd time
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
yea
DARKSIDER:
and Bischoff said something to HHH and HHH said "F*** YOU" that added
something to the emotions
but "LOOK AT CAPTAIN CRUSH! He's a big f***in' goof ball! I want to kick
his f***in big ass" really doesn't make anything sound really cool
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
no it doesnt I mean I suppose the rule is a good guard
against the lack of common sense but so it goes
DARKSIDER:
as a wise man once said... such is life
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
indeed well if you must get going I suppose we can wrap this
up
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
any parting shots you wish to impart on us?
DARKSIDER:
If I could take this time to just tell J.D Awesome that I am a big boy and I
can dictate when it is necessary for me to RP and when it is not... but thanks
for the advice anyways kid
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
ok
DARKSIDER:
So long RAWFites and ICE-which-a-ma-call its! RAWF CHAMPIONS number 8... DADDIES
COMIN' TO GET YA!
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
Thanks for coming on the show
DARKSIDER:
and Buffy! Don't worry baby I'm comin'
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
peace
DARKSIDER:
Anytime James... keep up the good work
JAMES
POTTERFIELD:
thank you
James turns back to his desk. as Darksider walks off
Now I know those interviews can be annoying because of the lack of space between lines. but they would just be unnecessarily long... anyway. Soild show this week I think. Two strong interviews. Some decent takes.
Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols begins to play
I hope to Get Simon Monk on the show next week that should be good. Im not sure who else. Classic match next week. Maybe. Anyway for James Potterfield in the Asylum adios efedders...
Fade to black. as James ruffles some papers...
**If you want to contact the Asylum go through Chaos in RAWF or Simon in ICE. Feel free to send in any thoughts and opinions anything is welcome and will not be censored. If Interviews are to be set up don't worry James will get in contract with you.....**
