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 monitor’s 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. Don’t 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 don’t be that arrogant. IF you get mentioned odds are you done something significant or retarded enough to get some ink. Don’t take it personal. We wouldn’t 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. It’s the Freakin Internet for god’s 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.

Here’s 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. I’m not gonna tell but its not TRH before you all quit.

Now here something. Why does everyone care what Darksider thinks? Now hold up. I’m 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 he’s 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 eh’s 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 doesn’t mean you’re 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 don’t 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 can’t just get along with some that doesn’t 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 don’t like some one just don’t talk to them. You don’t have to like or be liked by everyone that’s 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 aren’t bad. Get over it.

He shakes his head.

I’m off on tangent here. Sorry.

Keeping with RAWF for a moment, I’m 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 I’ll admit. And I think I’m digger her Evil Dead 2 rippoff. I think. I’m just waiting for her Imgaine to reach from the mirror and ask “We’ve 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 that’s good.

The ICE/FIRE logo shows up on those tvs behind him.

So we just had an ICE ppv. Good over all I’d 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 on’e 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 cna’t 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 wasn’t 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 don’t know what the deal was with that and whatever. I know I’m 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. Can’t complain really. It was a solid show. Just why cna’t 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 Rachel’s 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 we’re 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? HE’s been so in storylines for like 3 months and has ever done anything? Ahhh.

News flash: Apparently Purple isn’t 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 We’re going to behaving Darksider in studio.. He’s 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 wasn’t?
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 doesn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 weren’t 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!? That’s 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 don’t like I don’t 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 that’s 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 there’s 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) He’s 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 he’s 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 Showtime’s 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 don’t 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 don’t 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, that’s 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 that’s 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 weren’t 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 shouldn’t 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 don’t 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 else’s. 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 that’s 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 doesn’t 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. I’m 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.....**
