The Words fade out.... as Sex Machine by James Brown replaces them and James sitting as his desk like always is slight groving to it as he organizes his papers. Random pictures of Random RAWF and ICE Stars are on the Monitors behind him. The Music dies down he looks up.
JAMES POTTERFIELD: Hey Effeders welcome to the Asylum Im as always James Potterfield. This should be a good show. One Interview I think Today. And a Classic Match from Either ICE or RAWF history. Youre just gonna have to wait. First before I get to some take, heres a public service announcement:
He sighs.
Efedders, if you are reading the show and find you name or events you participated in comes up in negative light please be aware that Im not picking on you. My guest isnt picking on you. Odds are you are just a retard and or have caused some weird OOC controversy one way or another. Please dont be so arrogant to assume that this column is specifically design and aimed at you. because it isnt. I know this is hard to grasp for some people.
Also if you are comptemplating and/or talking about physically injuring myself or anyone in general because of comment made in this column or rps or other columns, if this column is causing you deep mental anguish... odds are you should get in touch with a therapist. Youre taking efedding waaaay to seriously. If you want to pound some ones face in the real world because of something efed related odds are you need some help.
Now listen its not that I dont take efedding seriously on some level because I do, but just not that serious. Its a hobby, a hobby I enjoy. I enjoy writing, and analyzing especially irrelevant stuff as efedding, it works for me. You dont like this column then should either sack up or grow some stones and drop an email message which will be posted in the column and wont be censored, but will be responded to, Request an interview or something, or not read the damn column its really fairly simply.
And Newsflash.. If youre boycotting something its good idea to make it public knowledge that just how boycotts works. And if your boycotting an efed well.. see two paragraphs above.
And on last vent. Ive heard some or one person is going around telling people my SECRET IDENTITY OOOOooooooo. Very cool. ON the odd event the majority of you who read this havent guessed who I am. Who ever is doing that is very cool. And must have a lot else to do, and ton of stuff to do in real life. I know you assume that this entire show is dedicated to bashing you or something but its not. If you would just stop doing stuff like say quiting a fed to not feud with Gravedigger then maybe I wouldnt ever have to talk about you in a negative light. But you do weird stuff that is incredible entertaining to talk about. I know you hate it when the truth is spoke, and your cult might not worship you as much...... Anyway sorry, I shouldnt have keep going there, I just hate efedders sometimes... Ive just wasted several minutes of my life, and most of the time spent by the people who do read this column not to see if theyre getting bashed.... We have some very cool Efedders out there.
James Shakes his head.
That being said on with the takes.
He flips through his Notes.
Right off the bat I think ICE needs to find new Officials. Dudes dont seem to understand their jobs. You have to drop to the match and count to three when some ones shoulders to the Ground. Not that hard a concept. But hey they seems to screw it up. If I were one fo the 45 owners of ICE, be it a Monk, Jon Wayne, Joshua Whatever or Donovan Briggance, One of those 45 owners should get on this.
OK I dont want to Do this again Efedders. I really dont care who pretending to be who on the or a famous dead explorer on the ICE ooc board. I simply had a guess and was mildly bored enough to add it. So dude I dont care. And on top of it all where did you go? One persons takes a guess and you just bolt? Pussy.
What is about Efedders that they get off on being jackoffs? Im not talking about being argumentative and making you cry jack offs but hiding as mysterious OOC personality jack off. Why do they do this? Im not sure. And some people like Keith Thomas, the guy who rped as Vic Venom in RAWF have made careers out of being OOC Jack offs. But if the Riddler or whoever wants to be a mystery go for it dude. It really not that big a deal. Its kinda cute at first. Just riddle me this, no one cares. I fairly certain the ICE OOC board is just so inactive that this is actually drawing intention. I mean it been so boring even this seems mildly amusing. But its not. Usually these are the guys whos real rps are so ungodly boring or normal and cliched that they never win. IF they would just transform their OOC wackiness in there rps maybe theyd actually be good.
Who knows. Anyway. RAWF just had a ppv. BirthDay Bash 20002. Marking the 4th year of RAWF. That in its self is amazing. Youd be hard pressed to find a efed that stays open a year let alone 4.
So another RAWF ppv is out the first one in a few months.. Was it good? I suppose better matchs than your average RAWf card. But lacking on card back stage stuff. What is with RAWF rpers that just do rps and never do on card stuff? I dont know I mean that just the style I suppose. But lets look at the card. David Wilson won what were the odds, Halie barely rped... that disappointing on her part. Trever lost to bone crusher. Not to take anything away from bone crusher.
But Frankly ripping on him is kinda redundant. But If Trever rps a few times or at all in his usual style, Im giving him the edge. Just my opinion.
Hahahaha. Yea you know youre a good Roleplayer when you use str8" instead of straight. Note Efedders. When writing rps do not us cute Internet slang in the rps. Like say lol or Str8 or UR for you are or anything like that. Just dont do it. For the better meant of the world.
James shakes his head again.
Match of the PPV was the hardcore title. Good match. Surprise winner. Crippler. Who saw that coming? No one thats who. Should Darksider have won, maybe. He did do one more rps and it was strong in quality, but if I argue this further Im gonna spark the whole quality vs quantity debate and well that deserves its own show.
Is it gonna kill Darksider to not win the Hardcore title for the 5th time. No. The Hardcore title is god for Crippler where as Darksider can easily be a 8th World champion shortly.
Pictures of Jimi Sinister appear on the monitors behind James.
Jimi Sinister. You something struck me as kinda interesting the other day. I was reading an ICE card. And one of the announcers said something to the effect of This isnt the Jimi sinsiter that was pushed around in RAWF anymore.
No doubt referring to the fact that Jimi spent the majority of his RAWF stay having the hell beaten out of him. Because frankly when youre a superhero who loves a teddy bear and is wholesome rockstar(right rockstars being know for their wholesomeness) who wouldnt want to pummel him? Everyone body. Darksider, Brandy Sangria, Tony Rocky Horror, Tommy Payne, , The Machine/JYD/Deacon, David Wilson... Mr. Good.
If I can go off on tangent for one second. Does anyone remember the Mr. Good angle? What the hell was that? A man in a mask dressed like a super hero would randomly come in and pummel Jimi and general make fun of his claiming to be superhero... a superhero who never did anything super other than say he was a super hero... anyway. Mr. Good came in and just to make fun of that and then disappeared after two or three appearances. Classic RAWF, a decent angle just ends for no reason. Undoubtedly whoever had the idea was frustrated the Efedders of RAWF refused to acknowledge it.. Or at least Jimi did. But then thats Jimi he refused to acknowledge a lot of stuff. Avoiding reality was just part of the Jimi character I guess. But after a while Mr. Good left.
Basically he allowed Jimi to win so to speak Whether Jimi did that intentionally or just didnt get to him with the 23452345 other people beating the hell out of him a card who knows. But if you gonna torment Jimi you have to be more tenacious. Duh.
But back to my point. Jimi has not Snapped. He pissed off and tired of being pissed on. Hes mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. he violent and mad bad and dangerous to know. Hes the Scarlet angel... and what caused this turn?
JYD turning into the Machine and Attacking his old Friend for a few weeks in a row
No.
Showtime and SCW pummeling him on a few cards?
No.
Darksider and Victoria turning on him and unloading a world of hurt? Even after Victoria was his friend...
*yawn* No.
David Wilson making him look silly verbally, and pummleing him brutally on more than one occasion?
Not gonna happen pal.
Loleta his sister becoming Tony Rocky Horrors valet and confidant aka Malice?
No.
Brandy Sangria reversing there relation and baiscally saying she hate(in character) jimi and everything associated with him?
Not really....
Tony Rocky Horror choke slamming him off the top of o the RAWF tron?
No.
Getting killed several times.
No thats normal.
Mojo the Demonic Clown attacking his wife Putting her through a glass table with Mojos smirking revenge having his valet Eris and Malice strip her and taker pictures of her in pain and bleeding then Kidnap Jimi to force him to see the pictures, then parade in around in chain in front of a bunch of circus freaks taunt very being and making his ideals look silly...
Right like that would drive anyone insane come on. Get serious..
His sister Malice trying to kill him.
No way buddy.
Tommy Payne having an affair is and stealing his wife.. The same wife he fought to defend when Mojo brutalized her...
*YAAAAAAAAWWWNNN* right.
Ramon Lopez steals his teddy bear and rips its leg off...
OH NO YOU DIDNT. GAME OVER PAL! YOU DONT FUCK WITH THE BEAR. You can screw me and my wife, make me look silly and out wit me but if you harm my bear well THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!
James grins.
Not the same old Jimi? I beg to differ. This is sooo the same old Jimi. Though I will admit its a good turn for him and I could think of several interesting things he could do with this character. And well see what happens hopefully he becomes as prolific as I think he can be. But of course this is Jimi, if he could just stick with something for a while... just always that if.
James spins to around to a TV screen behind him.
Alright in usual mold of guests Please... Welcome
via MSN from the RAWF Trever Leiss.
James Potterfield says:
Welcome to the Asylum thanks for being here.
Trever Leiss says:
No problem, thanks for giving me the chance to do this.
James Potterfield says:
Anytime. Out of tradition and for the brain dead out there explain to the efedders
who you are...
Trever Leiss says:
I'm Trever Leiss... I control, uhhh Trever Leiss... yeah Im kinda like
his boss, I tell him, errr me what to do.. Trever used to go by the name Jin
Kazama for any new comers, or brain dead's as you call them that didn't know.
I'm also the sexiest man in RAWF... ok not really.. I think that explains me...
James Potterfield says:
Ok, How long have you been in the game?
Trever Leiss says:
Wow, ummm, it's been so long. I started around this time back in 1996, I saw
the link to an E-fed in someone's signature in a message board post, I asked
what it was and he said to go ahead and join. I did and that was coming close
to six years ago.
James Potterfield says:
Thats makes an old man in the game. Who else have you rped as other than
Trever Leiss?
Trever Leiss says:
Well, as I said earlier Jin Kazama which I guess you can consider.. he was my
first "created" character even though there wasn't much creation to
him, it was more like my first non pro wrestling character I guess you could
say, then I tried some real wrestlers, Bad ass, Xpac, Road Dogg, some of the
Dx crew. I also rped under Trever's nephew Seth Wilson, as well as controlled.
One of Trever's former fiancee's Lisa.
James Potterfield says:
Alright so your back in the RAWF and you have the a habit of coming as going
so to speak why is that? or is it just strong case of having a life?
Trever Leiss says:
Till lately I didn't know, I mean I love the RAWF, I would physically shed blood
for it and most of the people there. I love the place and the people in it,
to me their like family. So it really just confused me why I couldn't seem to
make time for it, whether it would be highschool, working.. I just couldn't
stick to rping. But this last time I came back I realized I wasn't having fun..
(more)
Trever Leiss says:
It seemed like winning was more important than fun, so it wasn't very fun at
all. Plus the inner politics of the fed started to get on my nerves, everyone
hating the other out of character cause of a loss or something. It just seemed
stupid, so I would come back, and lose interest.. It's different now, I am having
fun, and thats what it's all about.. I mean I still have a hellacious
schedule...
Trever Leiss says:
between work and school I have very little time, but I still desire to make
time for the RAWF.
But also my life of fun outside school and work also played a bit of a role
in it.
James Potterfield says:
Makes sense but lets talk a bit about Politics, a fun topic. Could you give
an example of these politics?
Trever Leiss says:
Sure, one thing was the "RAWF board" the group of people who helped
Todd (chaos) run the fed. It seems like it would be a good idea at first, but
then it seemed like the board started to section off and certain members group
together. No offense to any of the members of the board now or then, but that
was the time I was having the least amount of fun. It may of just been me and
my desire to win. but I dunno. Then on top of that, people who knew each of
the members of the board sort of felt like they should have special treatment
and that the members of the board that they knew should give them that special
treatment. Then even outside the board just peoples OOC rivalries got too out
of hand and I just felt like the RAWF was slipping away from what it used to
be when I first came.
James Potterfield says:
I can see what your saying but to dispel some of that rumor. I was on the board
and there really not that much power other than match writing and deciding who
wins and you cant book your own guy though some tired... and now more
or less they are just glorified match writers, I'm sure some have used that
status to get more attention for themselves or friends and they do get to post
on the neat booking board, but there is really no particular reason for being
on it than to write a match and give out ideas to chaos who sometimes uses them
James Potterfield says:
And most are on it because chaos asked if anyone wanted to write matches and
become "a booker" and that how they got there
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah, well like I said, it may of just been me, and my wanting to win and not
having fun cause of that. But also it could of been my fear of some things changing,
and RAWF was very different then when I came so maybe it could of been my fear
of that.
James Potterfield says:
It probably not just use there a few cases but I won't name names. Ummm what
is the deal with you and bone crusher?
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah me neither, but I think we both know who we have in mind... The deal in
or out of character or both?
James Potterfield says:
both, according to him in character at least he's your mentor and he's 4 year
veteran and is god or something...at least in promos rps whatever..
Trever Leiss says:
Well in and out of character are sort of the same story, he came back after
a time away from the RAWF, and in a rp had me in it saying I quit the stable
I was already in (Chaos Army I think). I was happy in the Chaos Army and didn't
wanna leave, but he didn't even run it by me and had me in his rp saying I quit
the Chaos Army and was in his. I think it was followed by me going off on
him on either IM or on the OOC board. Any ways, after that the two character
hated each other and out of character I didn't like him anymore, because of
that and because he just started getting on my nerves. I mean quite frankly,
I don't know if that ego he has in character and saying all the things he is
saying is also how he thinks out of character, from what I can tell he does
think all that...
James Potterfield says:
like say Doomsday of EFW Keith Thomas fame..
Trever Leiss says:
I don't know if he hates me or likes me out of character. I don't really care
either, just like Keith Thomas he kinda got on my nerves after a while. Which
by the way I apologize to the whole RAWF for bringing him here. It was the biggest
mistake I think could of ever made
James Potterfield says:
Thats ok I got into the RAWF through Keith somehow I'm not even sure he
had link to it on one of his many sites...
Trever Leiss says:
Well at least something good came from my mistake heh, but yeah to me Keith
and John are one in the same, I have the same feelings for both of them.
James Potterfield says:
moving along I know I probably bring up this guy too much in my interviews and
what not so answer if you want. On your last return to the RAWF Before you started
rpin again a certain person came to me on AIM and I assume a few others and
started a petition to bar your entry.... why?
Trever Leiss says:
AHHAHHAHAH Ohh yeah I remember that... Yeah there was a bit of a petition going
on to bar me from the RAWF. I don't remember if I was asked to come back, but
I think I just wanted to come back. This certain someone you speak of, there
was some bad blood between us. I guess I am pegged as the "Manipulative
Mastermind" in the RAWF. He thought I was coming back to "ruin his
life.." as he said. So he talked to some people he was aligned with at
the time one of which I talk to on a daily basis and have a really good friendship
with. Then we straightened things out, and I guess the petition was dropped
or they still took it too Todd and he thought it was a crock and disregarded
it cause I came back.
James Potterfield says:
I was unsure of how some one ruins someone's life via the Internet. Other than
like credit card fraud maybe Internet gambling...
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah me too, which is a question I brought up to that someone.. his reply was
I was a manipulative mastermind and could turn all his friends against him and
the RAWF. Heh yeah well credit card fraud and don't forget that damn spam.
James Potterfield says:
Now I'm gonna admit I have a some what jaded view of this particular person,
but he has cried politics before but in my personal opinion he seems to bring
a lot of "politics" with him and is more manipulative than others.
Trever Leiss says:
Well, I wouldn't say he was manipulative.. cause since your admitting something
I will to. I admit, I do have some skill in manipulation, but I don't use it
to get what I want. I may use it for a better good, but not my own needs. So
from being able to do that I can tell you he wasn't very manipulative, just
used his powers in certain ways that would seem so. I am still some what friends
with this person, but I too agree he brought enough politics with him, which
I was mainly talking about when I mentioned the politics in the RAWF earlier.
James Potterfield says:
Ok Who would you wish come back to rpin form the older days of the RAWF
Trever Leiss says:
Wow, I know he is controlling someone, but Untouchable, or Freak would be cool,
It would be nice to see some dray and Synn rp's again too. Maybe even a chaos
one. I miss Maul and Daniel Robitalle's rp's too, D.R. is like my still unbeaten
goal, the feud. we had a long time ago was so much fun. So was the one with
Maul, Brian Eidson would be good too, just so many good feuds I would love to...
give another go at, and even just to see them people back and rping.
James Potterfield says:
Did you know that Outlaw is the same rpers as untouchable?
Trever Leiss says:
Yep, thats what I said he's already rping but it would be good to see
one of his other characters, not to say outlaw isn't good, it's just Im
used to freak and touch...
James Potterfield says:
Well I think untouchable as character was kinda of wrecked when he got AIDS..
maybe thats just me.
Trever Leiss says:
yeah true.. didn't think about that.
James Potterfield says:
AIDS kinda kills a character even in fed that can be as insane as the RAWF...
Trever Leiss says:
True, but Crip(pler) was also dead and tons of other things in the RAWF has
been one way and they, surprise it was all a scam and they come back. Dunno
if that would work with touch but it would be cool.
James Potterfield says:
any current rper you enjoy reading?
Trever Leiss says:
I love reading John Murphy's cause it seems like he is trying so hard to be
like me, and to convince everyone something that he knows isn't true. Also cause
he just makes a total ass of himself in them, he's kinda like the Ernest movies
you know, their horrible, and stupid. But you can't help but watch cause their
so awful. Ones I enjoy reading cause of how good they are, are Darksiders, Crips..
really everyone seems entertaining to read.
James Potterfield says:
Ummm is Darksider the evil oppressive OOC personality that some make him out
to be?
Trever Leiss says:
Well am I the manipulative, evil, scary, OOC personality some people make me
out to be? I mean everyone has different views on other people and how they
act OOC in the RAWF, most won't admit it, but they do. Just cause someone doesn't
like DS cause they can't beat him and stuff doesn't mean they have to hate him
OOC. A while ago when I started the RAWF chat and we'd get people in that and
in...
James Potterfield says:
Honestly I didnt even know you were supposed to be manipulative and scary
Trever Leiss says:
AOL chats he was fun to talk to, cause he was OOC but still gave a bit of a
cocky attitude. Me and my friends outside the fed do that, like say "Your
ass is gonna be beat at DDR" or "I whipped the floor with you at Tekken
4" but thats just friendly competition, DS is a pretty cool guy in
my opinion. Heh well with me everyone hears something different, it's funny.
James Potterfield says:
Indeed I found it odd when he left for while after like November nightmare 2000
I think, I might be wrong, people would actually IM me and say they were happy
he was gone and I was just kinda why would you be happy a good rper left? Do
you think people in the RAWF sometimes just need to chill out?
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah, I was happy when Keith left, I was happy when john wasn't around.. but
ds it would suck. What fun would it be if you are second to DS and all you did
was win and sit at the top? Not having any competition.. it would blow donkey
balls. So to quote a lot of people on mtv "Don't hate the playa hate the
game." Heh
James Potterfield says:
haha
Trever Leiss says:
Well RAWF now or the past RAWF cause you have to admit they are very different
James Potterfield says:
I came in the mid late 2000 and its changed drastically since
Trever Leiss says:
Cause RAWF now, is pretty cool, everyone seems to be focusing on having fun.
I don't see many OOC battles of pissed of people. But the past RAWF needed a
fucking enigma, or medication for mood swings or something. The littlest thing
would set off a piss and moan marathon. But things are a lot better now.
James Potterfield says:
ok any pet peeves when it comes to efedding?
Trever Leiss says:
Oooo yeah, the way people will criticize someone about how they rp, or what
they do in a rp. Then turn around and do the same thing. Like the whole html
issue. I've caught a lot of slack from that in other feds, and in the past in
RAWF, then that same person would turn around and do the same thing. Like even
my rp style. I've use the cinematic style of rping and stuff for a long time......
and in the RAWF Id get trashed OOC about my rp's being like a soap opera
or something. Then all them same people eventually start doing the same exact
thing. Another thing I don't like is how fickle some prez's are now. I blame
the low number of people efedding on that. Someone rp's for a bit and they think
they can run a fed, they get all their friends, and it turns into a fed of screwjobs
for their friends. I could go on, but the others are just spinoffs of them problems,
those are the main two
James Potterfield says:
I think some people see people who like to do their rps on websites and but
a bunch of html in and automatically assume that they are just trying to impress
people with their html skills which isn't necessarily the case those it is for
some people... like say when Keith stole your rp and Missle's from FWF....
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah, I stand up for both sides on the html thing myself. I mean I did a whole
long view on this on a fed I was in before coming back to RAWF this time. I
mean I use it myself, I try to use it to help add to the scene as in music and
pictures, and for separation so each of the actions and speaking parts are clearly
separated and it's in nice order. I don't do it to try and get points for...
James Potterfield says:
that how it should be done, though music really slows my computer to less than
crawl....
Trever Leiss says:
the extra work, but I do think certain things help to the reader envisioning
what is going on in the rp in their mind. But yeah then there are others who
just use it grotesquely and just put random html up and it looks horrid, and
really takes away from the scene the rp is trying to set up. Yeah and there
is always the problem of people with slower computers, which is why Im
going to start.... offering a "low band" version of my rp's which
are stripped down text and front color html only
James Potterfield says:
Ok what were you for Halloween? asking the hard hitting questions now
Trever Leiss says:
Heh here comes the me being called Goth. again. Well my girlfriend was a turn
of the century whore... (think moulin rouge) so I was going to be a 70's pimp
so I could be overly tacky as usual and putting my own little goofy side into
things. But that failed cause no decent pimp outfits could be found, so I borrowed
some Theater grade vampire fangs from my work, and dressed in fishnet... long,
black leather coat, black kikwear pants (same ones the hardy's wear) and put
some white on my face to make it more pale, and drew some black designs on my
face and went as a tattooed vampire, but a more up to date one like from one
of the blade movies
James Potterfield says:
Gees I was just a Hanson brother from the movie Slapshot
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah Halloween is one of my favorite holidays so I go all out heh. And a Hanson
brother from slapshot? Whats that, well I know what a Hanson is, but what
movie is slapshot?
James Potterfield says:
Hockey Movie about a minor league team that just resorts to pummeling the hell
out their opponents
Trever Leiss says:
Hmmmm never heard of it, which is odd cause Im a huge movie buff heh
James Potterfield says:
Well you should look for it stars Paul Newman and the Hanson brothers(not the
singers)
the guys that you can see on occasion at er used to see at IHL all-star games
Trever Leiss says:
I don't watch sports so I wouldn't know, sorry
James Potterfield says:
its good movie all around if you have hour and half free and like Paul Newman
somewhat grisly violence and then 70s pick it up..anyway... Do you have any
IC /OOC grudges you want to get off you chest?
Trever Leiss says:
Hmmm, not that I can remember, in many ways the Character Trever is the same
as the real me. If I don't like you, Ill let you and everyone else know.
I know your just trying to get some dirt to get some controversy going so here
goes... I hate the RAWF and EVERYONE in it.. heh ok not really. Everyone knows
I hate Keith... and I don't care for John much... but to tell you the truth
I recently.....
James Potterfield says:
actually I'm stalling till I can think of something better to ask... what do
you do when not efedding?
Trever Leiss says:
found someone I don't like. In character I could care less but his handler is
the one I hate, and thats Kenny, Dameons handler. That is another person
like Keith I don't like, but this one for more personal reasons. Jada west who
rped in RAWF for a short time I consider like my little sister, I spend as much
time with her as I can, and care about her very much. Kenny has said and done
some.... things to her that really pissed me off. He is one of the few people
who if I seen in public would just beat the piss out of. Yeah mainly toying
with her emotions type things... but also some other things. When Im not
rping I like to play guitar, write music, hang out with my friends from college.
I go to a lot of concerts too, I run a local bands website so I get some nice
"press" perks with that, I also work on the U of M paper so I ain't
totally lying when I go to the shows and interview bands as "press".
Other then that I write music a lot, I have quite a few remixes up at acidplanet.com
under..
Trever Leiss says:
the band name Perfect 30 (shameless plug heh) which the band name came from
something in RAWF actually.
James Potterfield says:
Really?
Trever Leiss says:
yeah the band name I got from the 5 point limit and possible extra point if
the rp was really great. and at the time the rp limit was five. So 5 times 6
is 30, and I told Todd how it would be cool to see someone get a "Perfect
30"
James Potterfield says:
are you going to enjoy the upcoming world title tournament in RAWF?
Trever Leiss says:
Yeah the tourney seems cool, I think everyone will be putting out some great
rp's for the tourney.
James Potterfield says:
I work for the world renown Grand Rapids community college newspaper and how
many different feds have you been in?
Trever Leiss says:
thats cool that you work on the paper, on mine I cover the music and entertainment
section. I do a lot of interviews and stuff which is why it's sort of odd being
on this end of an interview heh I can't even count how many feds Ive been
in, after like the 3'rd year I even stopped writing down what titles Ive
won. I'd say the amount of feds is somewhere around 300 probably more
James Potterfield says:
300? wow
Trever Leiss says:
yeah but some were open only for a week and then shut down
James Potterfield says:
the jack off feds as I call them... harsh but I think that a fair title
Trever Leiss says:
yeah it is fair, I hated them feds, Id go, start to get somewhere and
they shut down cause they can't handle it.. or cause the fed was bs to begin
with and they just let their friends win
James Potterfield says:
on that note maybe unfairly what was the deal with SCW?
Trever Leiss says:
I don't know, it was cool, it had a board much like RAWF. But even more so at
SCW I think the board wanted me banned from the fed like that certain someone
did when I tried coming back to RAWF. Not all the board but I know some were
adamant about my joining. I liked it for a bit, then it seemed like it wasn't
about rping anymore, not on my part but the prez's. I mean random people were
getting pushed, and winning, it was just chaotic. Plus the "hacking"
I thought was a bit of a low move to do. But thats all Im going
to say about that.
James Potterfield says:
probably a good idea since that hacking could be huge issue in itself. I was
in SCW as a rper
and it was very annoying at times but I thought just as it was about to become
a good fed it got "hacked"
Trever Leiss says:
yeah I know, and I was told about the hacking first hand and I didn't like it,
and although it would give a lot to talk about.. thats a skeleton that
should probably stay in it's closet
Trever Leiss says:
yeah exactly I know what you mean
James Potterfield says:
then the SCW invasion of RAWF failed miserably since most of the good SCW rpers
either didn't invade or were in RAWF already
Trever Leiss says:
Heh yeah, the RAWF invasion that went on when Todd had to move was ok, but was
a bit of a failure, but the SCW invasion made the RAWF invasion look so much
better when compared heh Yeah, it's like a fed invading its sister fed, which
most members were already in the other fed to begin with.
James Potterfield says:
If you were starting a fed would you start one with two people who you rarely
saw eye to eye with OOC and in another fed?
Trever Leiss says:
Me myself... I don't think so, Im the kinda person who's all or nothing.
If I do something it's just me, so that adds a lot to my answer. And because
partnerships just seem to fail and then in turn so does the fed. But especially
not since I wouldn't see eye to eye with the other people. Cause although it's
good to have a different view on things, not in business cause it just causes
trouble. Also I guess of my involvement with music and writing and stuff I myself
have a view on art. Rping to me is sort of like art. I want to be totally in
control of my art, why would I create something part way and hand it off to
someone else? It's gonna be how I want it so I'll be the only one working on
it. So even that fact alone I would have to say no.
James Potterfield says:
That about SCW actually Well Showtime started SCW with yourself I believe and
the guy who rps as Tommy Payne and Darksider two people he has gotten into more
than a fair share of OOC wars with
Trever Leiss says:
Ohh lol I had an idea thats what you meant but wasn't sure
James Potterfield says:
whatever works
Trever Leiss says:
yeah as far as I know it was payne and I know it was Ds, and I was supposed
to be on the board but I had no real power lol I wrote occasional matches and
was the eye candy I guess you could say I was in power in character more then
in the actual fed
James Potterfield says:
yea I think payne wanted you off or out or what ever based solely on the fact
he didnt think you were reliable and you left them hanging a few times...
did you miss a few matches or something?
Trever Leiss says:
NO thats the thing, he didn't want me there cause he didn't think I was
reliable before I even joined. I was busy with stuff and I was put on the board
without my knowledge and then was asked like a month after the fed was opened
when I wasn't so busy and he was complaining before I even joined. I didn't
have a chance to miss a few matches cause I was on the board a month before
I even knew... and was asked. So I don't know why he thought I wasn't reliable
to tell you the truth.
James Potterfield says:
OK I'm not sure if there was anything here at all and this i just dirt digging
question but did jimi sinister have something against you? I ask because him
and Showtime seemed to be like peas and carrots(they were I think I'm not 100%
sure) then you came in this last time and they were not exactly as good pals
as they were... I'm not even sure I want an answer to that.
Trever Leiss says:
Well I don't know if he has something against me, I don't really remember, I
try to not focus on them things too much, cause as far as I can remember he
hasn't done anything to me and we don't have any problem. But I do remember
showtime telling me when I came back that Jimi didn't want me back, that all
I do is ruin things. So I guess he has something against me, what he could have
against me... I have no idea, but I also don't know if showtime was just saying
jimi didn't want me back, cause he also said Leia didn't, and I talk to Leia
every day now and were good friends.. so it could be a lie, or it could be true,
you'll have to ask jimi that one.
James Potterfield says:
I not sure if I'm allowed to talk to him at one point he was very unhappy with
me I'm not sure what the status is now we rarely talk, but I will if I ever
get him on the show
Trever Leiss says:
Good cause actually now I'm curious to the answer to that question heh. Yeah
some people in RAWF are very fickle, thats one of the things that has
changed but needed to change very badly in the old RAWF
James Potterfield says:
I think some people don't like it when people don't always just try to be nice
to each other at all costs. Personally I'm not gonna act nice if I don't like
you. If I'm annoyed or unhappy with some one I tend to let them know and try
not to go behind them but some seem to play nice to you in conversation then
talk behind you so to speak. I attempt to be up front and honest and I would
hope people are the same in reverse.. or something...
Trever Leiss says:
yeah, I mean you can lie and be nice, or be truthful and tell someone what you
think. And just cause they say something you don't like doesn't mean you have
to hate them or they hate you. Me and my college roomies would fight towards
the end of last year, but were friends just cause we got pissed at the other
using our towel doesn't mean we'll stay mad and hate the other. yeah exactly,
I know what you mean with that. I'm the exactly same way, yeah, like I trash
ds all the time in rp. But I don't hate him like I say in rp's it's fantasy,
it's a game.. it's not real.
James Potterfield says:
Indeed If I don't like you I just say so or try to but if I don't like how some
rps or I diss them in rps I hope they figure out thats not anything to
do with them personally... If that makes me an asshole so be it
James Potterfield says:
anyway what the dumbest thing you've done in efedding
Trever Leiss says:
Well besides bringing Keith Thomas into the RAWF, I'd have to say closing down
a fed with one html tag... that and taking so long to get my head straight about
the RAWF and to finally STAY in RAWF.
James Potterfield says:
Interesting. Any regrets?
Trever Leiss says:
My regrets are kinda the same as my dumb things I've done. Like I feel bad for
the closing down the fed thing. The short story of that is I put a html tag
that made text look like it was a old, flickering neon light. But the thing
was it was a base marquee tag, and I put it in my title and it totally fucked
up this feds rp board. The prez couldn't fix it and got pissed and shut the
fed down In frustration. Other then that, thats all the regrets I have
really.
James Potterfield says:
Ok anyone one in the new set of RAWFers you think will be good?
Trever Leiss says:
I like J.D. he is showing some promise. Matt Vandal too he could be good. Rod
I think can be good, and i'm sure he is, it's just I think I got caught half
way through a big story line he's doing and I'm just like lost, same with Halie.
James Potterfield says:
Ok anything you want to vent?
Trever Leiss says:
Heh yeah... john and other people keep getting it wrong... my name is spelt
T-R-E-V-E-R.... no O, it's E.. heh other then that I'm good.
James Potterfield says:
Ok thanks for being on the show column.. whatever
Trever Leiss says:
Thanks for having me here, it's been fun
James grins.
That was good interview, strong. Didnt shy away from some questions like I though he was going to. One of these days Im gonna have to do a focus on SCW because that was an interesting affair in itself. It good t get a Trever Leiss on the show though, and he wasnt has unwilling to answer questions as Say gun was. But Kev/Gun was just good to catch up with. And to be honest I always enjoyed Trevers rps, especially when I first came into the RAWF. Sure after while he got a bit Showtimed.. But hey that happens.
He shuffles his papers.
Now if I could just find Maul that would be fun...Moving along.
The ICE Hall of fame. I was checking it out the other day. It has 3 people in it. Which is out standing. And All three are arguably actual ICE hall of famers. Not You rped here and now you left so your in the hall of fame. Now you Have three and all a good enough to deserve it. Not Christrian Drake... I still hold by the idea that you have to compete in more than 7 matches to make a hall of fame. Maybe thats just me. But its seems as if the hall is in good standing now. Which leads me to When is RAWF getting a hall of fame? Good Question.
A picture of Brandy Sangria appears on the TV screen behind him.
Well everyone There is no RAWF world champion. Brandy quit and was fired in storylines. But it was a long time coming, she no showed two weeks, and barely rped for the PPV. And has been some what lack luster as of late. Which kind lessens her whole Im getting screwed argument when she wasnt the champion all those months ago.
Not to Knock Brandy/Dottie she turned out to be a solid rper. She is a good rper but when the RAWF was on all cylinders 5 months ago. When Wilson, Darksider, Jimi, TRH, Showtime, Gravedigger and JYD, were all rping was she the best. No. Was she in the top three? Probably not.
Top Five yea Ill give her that. But while she was solid rper and could compete with anyone she hasnt been particularly mind blowing in a while or ever. She was solid solid solid rper in her prime. Good but never particularly mindblowing but very good. Very good. But shes gone now and well who didnt see that coming? Its unfortunate to see a talent leave like that but it was coming.
And now the title is up for grabs in a tournament. And that good I love tournaments. Should be fun. But right Now I have a very special guest. Please welcome via MSN ICE owner Simon Monk...
James Potterfield says:Welcome to the Asylum Simon
Monk.
Si says:
Thanks, it's nice to finally be here James.
James Potterfield says:
Its good to have you here, for those of my audience that are unfamiliar with
you explain to them who you are and why your important..
Si says:
Well I'm the guy that runs ICE. I think I know a few RAWF guys, but "Hi"
to those that I don't.
James Potterfield says:
How long have you been in efedding?
Si says:
Going on for 6 years or more now.
James Potterfield says:
Thats quite sometime, how many different feds have you been in?
Si says:
Oh I've been in m fare share. I started off in a "WWF" fed, and then
onto a couple of small "Original" character feds throughout '96. My
first real fed was the IWWF in early '97. From there I went onto the ICWF, which
is where I started to actually win a few matches. Most of the early feds I was
in closed down soon after I joined, but the IWWF was open for a good 4 or 5
months. From there I went Into the ICWF, which lasted almost a year, and then
the IWC, before joining RAW, NEW, and eventually ICE.
James Potterfield says:
And now you Run ICE, had you fed headed before that?
Si says:
Not by myself no. I was a match writer in the IWC and in RAW for a while, and
I was the VP under Josh Richardson in NEW for about 2 months.
James Potterfield says:
Trying to Keep NEW on that life support, that must have been a bit frustrating
Si says:
Well at the time, NEW was getting about 5 or 6 roleplays a week. I was booking
shows and writing half of the matches, and there were times when I questioned
whether it was worth it or not. I kept thinking it would get better, but sadly
it only seemed to get worse after I left.
James Potterfield says:
Do you think they were only getting 5-6 a week because of the some what lack
of regularity of just about anything involving NEW in the lazy 6 months of its
life I know as an rper I found it hard to rp for fed that would run once every
three weeks and then have strange booking which disgruntled more than a few...
Si says:
Hmmm.... Well NEW seemed to come and go. At times it was great, but at other
times it seemed like pretty much every guy on the roster lost interest.
Si says:
Exactly...... The show was run inconsistently, and that hurt it. Josh would
like to keep coming back with a big relaunch, and to keep stripping the titles,
and having tournaments and things. He did that more than once, and I think it
frustrated the handlers and hurt the fed. Dan Rose was really speaking the truth
last week when he talked about how Josh booked WEEKS in advance. He'd have his
next ppv booked before the current one was even out, and with a fed head like
that, opportunities are rare, and handlers are bound to get frustrated.
James Potterfield says:
Alright just because I have you on the show please explain the Gabriel Wilde
situation in NEW
when he was champion for month or two without rpin...
Si says:
Hahaha, I thought you'd get around to that....
James Potterfield says:
You know it
Si says:
yeah.... For those of you that don't know, Simon Monk and Gabriel Wilde were
the infamous "Locked, Cocked & Two Smoking Barrels". Dan said
something last week about us carrying RAW for a while, and while I take that
as a HUGE compliment, it's not entirely true. Any ways, back to your question....
Gabriel Wilde was one hell of a character. Taylor Deziel (The man behind him)
was, and still is in my opinion one of the best talents in the e-fed world when
he's on his game. HOWEVER - due to his personal life Taylor comes and goes.
The same happened in ICE when he was running Tyson Cole. I know that real life
is more important, and that's cool. In ICE I simply wrote Cole out of storylines
when Taylor needed time out. That's the difference between me and Josh. In NEW,
Gabriel Wilde was kept in storylines when Taylor needed time out, simply because
he was already in Josh's pre-booked ideas. In the e-fed world, things can change
overnight. I've been known to have ideas, and then change them in a heartbeat.
Josh never did that. He was kept in as champion, simply because Josh assumed
that he'd be on form. Josh was wrong to not take the title from him when he
failed to role-play.
James Potterfield says:
Kept in and being champion are a bit different...
Si says:
Absolutely.
James Potterfield says:
Did josh even read rps?
Si says:
I'm not here to strictly bash Josh..... but I do know first hand that Josh once
gave a match to one guy instead of another guy because he "Read that one
first". And on another instance I submitted a 20k role-play to Josh, which
he gave me the win for. However, later on, when I asked him what he thought
about it, he replied "I didn't read it, because it was too long - But I'm
sure it was good".
James Potterfield says:
Who from NEW that didn't jump to ICE would you still want to?
Si says:
Good question. Pretty much everyone from RAW/NEW has been in ICE in one form
or another, but the only two talents that I _REALLY_ wanted on my show from
day one are two guys that were never fairly handled in NEW. Ketsueki Arashi,
and Joey T. I'd welcome them with open arms.
James Potterfield says:
Ahhh I'm glad you said that because this is my next question. Did you know you
disgruntled Joey T?
Si says:
I did? I had no idea.....
James Potterfield says:
Would you like to be informed?
Si says:
Please tell!
James Potterfield says:
I keep in semi regular contact with the Rper behind Joey T who also rps as Tommy
Payne in RAWF or David Wilson
Si says:
Sure....
James Potterfield says:
apparently upon joining NEW and knowing both Eddie Death handlers and Kev aka
Jack Taylor he made sarcastic/joke threatening OOC comments which were meant
to be a joke but you posted something that jumped on him
Si says:
I did? Can you remember what it was? Because I can't!
James Potterfield says:
I don't doubt you. But apparently from what I understood even after Kev and
mr. Death came to his defense you never apologized and that why he never came
to ICE, that and just the whole way NEW was run
Si says:
Was I still around when they came to his defense? Because this is going to sound
like a lame excuse, but I left NEW in April '01 - 4 months before it closed,
and only a month or two after Joey joined. I lost net access for a while, and
I genuinely don't remember any of this about the board. Whatever I said that
was out of line, I apologize for. And I hope Joey doesn't hold Josh's bad booking/fed
heading against me.
James Potterfield says:
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm hoping to get him on the show and see whats
up eventually On this note was Lou Marquis really the greatest RAW/NEW champion
of all time? As the Hall of fame show would have had us believe
Si says:
Lou wasn't a bad character, and he's a great guy behind the scenes, but I definitely
don't think he was the best of all time.
James Potterfield says:
Now given the bad taste left in the mouths of many like Joey T and several others
that even joined ICE, did you really want to make sure people understood ICE
wasnt NEW?
Si says:
Oh absolutely. I looked upon the disgruntled NEW'ers as a bunch of guys who
hadn't been handled fairly. Lots of them were my friend. I tried my best from
day one to make ICE different from NEW. The first 20 cards were ALL on time....
I didn't automatically hand titles to guys that Josh liked. For example, Lou
Marquis. He's never held a title in ICE. Infact, part of the reason that Eddie
Death was chosen as my first champion, was because Eddie was always over looked
in NEW, and choosing him as a first champion kind of set a new standard. He
earned it, and I think that also sent a message out.
James Potterfield says:
Ok so why the sudden change with stuff like say the two year NEW/RAW/ICE anniversary
emotional thingy that was on a card a few months back Dan rose went so far as
to say that ICE was an extension of RAW/NEW in a sense at least
Si says:
Well although I like to think I took ICE in a different direction to RAW/NEW....
I also view RAW and to a lesser extent NEW as a big reason as to why ICE is
in existence. I think we need to respect our roots, however faded they became
towards their end. We have to remember how good they once were, and It was my
way of paying a tribute to both Dan and Josh and their respective companies.
A lot of ICE guys remember both RAW and NEW.... And it kind of gave ICE a pro-longed
history. ICE was the phoenix from the ashes that NEW left behind. I wouldn't
be running ICE right now if it wasn't for Dan or Josh. Period. They set up the
roots that eventually grew into ICE.
James Potterfield says:
I know you took some heat on Cole and Young Blood/Dan, especially given the
this is not NEW and you aren't getting a free ride, yet those two can be construed
as your friends at least efedding wise. They were/are whispers of over pushing..Did
you over push them because of that or what?
Si says:
Like I said, Josh gave guys a free ride because of friendships. Dan and Taylor
was among them AT TIMES. There were times when I don't feel Dan and Taylor deserved
the pushes they got in NEW - And times when I didn't either. People have said
to me that I perhaps over pushed Robbie and Tyson when ICE opened its doors.
I defend the fact that I believe I treat them fairly. Youngblood held six titles,
and yet never held a world title. Cole held the world title sure, but only for
a cup of coffee, and because the field of competition was weak at the said time.
Someone said last week that running an e-fed is hard work, and that I've done
a good job of controlling all of the "Ego's" in my fed. I agree, it's
as tough as hell at times, but I've only ever had I think TWO serious complaints,
which over a year isn't bad.
James Potterfield says:
What two complaints?
Si says:
Josh complained about Beating Wayne, but not taking the title.
James Potterfield says:
When was that?
Si says:
That was the infamous "Sword on a pole" match. Also I think Nate complained
once when he first lost to Wayne. Kev complained once about Cole. Make that
three.
James Potterfield says:
know of the Kev on camera off camera thing and that a huge debate in itself
Gawd honestly I thought that was fairly lame idea for a match, just because
of the sword usage..
Si says:
Oh for sure. Although that was more of a debate than an argument, which resulted
in Chris dropping his "Sex" roleplays between Jon and Jessica, which
quite frankly were getting repetitive and tedious.
James Potterfield says:
I know Ive had to go through few people sex /romance rps, Mr. SHowitme
in RAWF, Jimi at one point.... and I've just had the idea if he wants to be
repetitive and tedious let him he'll get the message when he loses.
Si says:
Exactly, and lose he did. I never asked him to stop. Other people did.
James Potterfield says:
In that situation I would just say screw other people. Gawd honestly I thought
that the sword on pole was fairly lame idea for a match, just because of the
sword usage.. if you had a sword you wouldn't just make them bleed you kill
them... but whatever..
Si says:
It was all due to Drake's "Mystique" and it was intended to settle
the "OOC" war between Josh and Chris. In actuality it backfired,.
James Potterfield says:
Drake's well manufactured mystic
Si says:
True. Drake always seemed like a second rate Donovan Brigance to me. I personally
pissed Josh off once, when I proved I could out roleplay him when Drake fought
The Sunflare Kid.
James Potterfield says:
I felt Drake was trying to hard to be scary and I've been a scary character
and know whats it like and you can try to hard.
Si says:
He had the smart idea of having Drake "Appear" in Flame's house after
Sunflare had cut a promo their. Kind of like he'd been watching Sunflare all
along. I turned the tables and had Sunflare (My guy) show that he KNEW Drake
was watching him, and that he'd watch Drake talk about watching him. It got
confusing, but I beat Josh at his own game and frustrated the hell out of him.
Exactly. He was pseudo scary. You can be fake or over the top (like Mike McCloud)
- it's hard to get it just right. I've never tried. Eddie Death was one guy
who got it right. His final Christmas roleplay was classic.
James Potterfield says:
Yea that was very TRHish if you have back round on the rper.... Are you happy
with ICE?
Si says:
Right now, or in retrospect?
James Potterfield says:
which ever
Si says:
Hamm..... Right now I've been through a tough couple of months with the company.
Things haven't always been out on time, and for a while it seemed things were
going the same way NEW did. However, I think as you said last week, this time
of year seems to decrease activity, and we're still a heck of a lot more active
than NEW was in it's final months. I've got a couple of hot new signings coming
in, and guys generally seem happy. So yeah, right now I'm optimistic, and in
retrospect I'm proud of the fact that we've been going over a year.
James Potterfield says:
You rp in ICE?
Si says:
I do indeed.
James Potterfield says:
As how many characters?
Si says:
I think you know the answer to that one - lol. I have 13 characters on the books,
a couple of which I sometimes share with other handlers. Week to week I'm currently
tending to only use half of those. I think 5/13 are actually booked on this
weeks shows.
James Potterfield says:
Ok in retrospect I think I see the purpose of it but still I ask why the roster
split?
Si says:
Well originally it was Dan Rose's idea. Dan came to me and suggested it, and
at the time I was happy with running the whole show myself, so I told him I'd
consider it down the line. A month or so later Josh (Who was running a tag team
at the time) came to me and told me that role-playing wasn't enough, and that
he wanted back in. At that time ICE was getting too much for me to handle, and
the "Split" story line also made new and fresh angles. Of course it's
a WWE rip off, but I think we've done it differently to them.
James Potterfield says:
I think I get the having less work to do, as Chaos in RAWF has 3-5 people that
actually help him book show and what not, but why Josh? Especially given his
shakey history with the end of NEW and that fact he had joined and quit ICE
few times up to the point?
Si says:
Good question, and it's one that I've defended many times. Okay.....
James Potterfield says:
It just seemed like setting yourself up for a fall
Si says:
For those of you that don't know, Josh and I actually met up in real life one
time. I have a picture of the two of us together which I keep meaning to put
on the net - Any ways..... I knew that Josh had a history of coming and going.
And yeah, I also considered that I was setting myself up for a fall. HOWEVER
- Like I said before, NEW wasn't all bad. When Josh was on form he was great
- despite his shortcomings. He swore to me that he was in for the long haul,
and I foolishly believed him. I told him he could book FIRE, and write the show,
but I had FINAL say over any angles that I didn't agree with - Therefore making
sure that he wouldn't "Book in advance" as he had done in the past.
James Potterfield says:
And where did he go?
Si says:
Good question.
James Potterfield says:
And did you draft the roster or how did that work?
Si says:
After booking just two shows, Josh vanished. It was the week of our first big
joint ppv "Inception". He was down to write three matches. He vanished
without a trace. I didn't even get an e-mail saying "I'm sorry bro, I need
out". I got NOTHING. Which is why I've made it common knowledge that although
real life comes first, and I'll still be friendly to Josh should I see him online
again, he is not welcome back to ICE in any capacity. He's let me down one time
to many.
Si says:
And the roster draft. We actually had a chat session a couple of weeks before
the split, where we sat down and took turns to pick names. I picked for ICE,
and he picked for FIRE. We only did it as a "Practice" draft, but
we liked our rosters so much that it became final. I made it clear to the guys
from day one, that they could jump if they weren't happy with the way their
roster (FIRE) was being run.
James Potterfield says:
This is probably more a question for personal knowledge and you just kinda answered
it.. why did you let Josh have someone like Say zero who one of the largest
josh disgruntled people from back in NEW?
Si says:
Because by that time Josh had told me that he was impressed with Zero, and that
he'd overlooked Eddie Death. And I also told Zero's handler that if he had any
problems, he could come to me, or jump ship.
James Potterfield says:
Ok What was the deal with the FIRE monster?
Si says:
Ahahaha....... Josh gave Brian Greystoke that name without consulting me. I
had nothing to do with it, and I never liked it. Coming from a guy who now calls
his real life wrestling character "True Talent" Trent Richards, it's
hardly surprising.
James Potterfield says:
I know I found it weird, and no knock on the greystroke character, but it seemed
weird he went from being semi mid card tag specialist and contender/jobber in
the extreme division to suddenly being the FIRE monster now and was supposed
to be something of an invincible monster or something... from what I would read
in the matches
Si says:
Yeah, like I say, I had NO idea Josh was doing that until I read it in one of
the shows. I didn't like it, but I allowed him to keep calling Brian (Who is
one of "My" guys.) that simply to see where it went.
James Potterfield says:
So in story lines who is running ICE/FIRE these days I get confused...
Si says:
In storylines, ICE is owned by Jonathan Wayne, and has Joshua Michaels as a
commissioner. FIRE is owned by Sierra Monk, and has Donovan Brigance as a commissioner.
James Potterfield says:
Ok, Umm why so many?
Si says:
So many commissioners?
James Potterfield says:
4 people in a ownership role is a lot
Si says:
Yeah I guess. But it's only one person and one "Lackey" per company.
I keep Donovan around simply to run the show whilst Sierra is taking care of
"Personal business". Joshua is around so that Jon Wayne doesn't always
have COMPLETE control of a company that he competes in. For example, Wayne would
never have signed Terra, but Commissioner Michaels did.
James Potterfield says:
Ok and a while back there was a slight build up for the new ICE commissioner
and it ended up being the Shark Joshua Micheals..... who is he?
Si says:
Yeah..... Joshua Michaels was a name suggested by Chris. (Wayne's handler).
James Potterfield says:
See my understanding is usually commissioners are well known characters, and
he isn't defeat the shock value attempt
Si says:
Exactly. But he had to have a name, and that seemed as good as any. I believe
Chris chose it for personal reasons, but I won't make those public if that's
okay with you. And I wanted none wrestlers as commissioners.
James Potterfield says:
ok I just bring it up from the stand point that it ended up having very little
impact as he wasn't getting used much Which leads us to another topic, which
might be a tricky for you, Jon Wayne whats up with him?
Si says:
No he isn't. but then again the WWF went weeks without using Mick Foley, or
Shawn michaels in the commissioner role. The nature of the business, and indeed
ICE is that he's used when he's needed. I think creating roles simply to get
him on TV would be a waste of time. Maybe he will do in the future, or maybe
he'll be fazed out. We'll see.
James Potterfield says:
Which leads us to another topic, which might be a tricky for you, Jon Wayne
whats up with him?
Si says:
Yeah it's a tricky one for me to call due to the amount of personal feeling
around Wayne/Chris.
James Potterfield says:
Like if you can what was the issue between Josh and Chris/Wayne?
Si says:
Chris is perhaps the most enthused role-player I've EVER known. He's had a tendency
to rub people the wrong way (Myself included on occasion) because he simply
lives his gimmick. In Chris's head Wayne is the best superstar in ICE. Yeah,
Josh was never a fan of Wayne. I know you're referring to the OOC incident.
Josh seemed to feel that he deserved special treatment from me, because he and
I had met in real life, and at one time were tight. I took that view that I
wasn't going to let my friendships, and personal feelings get in the way of
"ICE business". I talked to Josh and Chris on a level playing field,
and told them BOTH
that they'd have to stop the shit on the OOC board, or leave ICE.
James Potterfield says:
Personally I've not experienced any of the "high crimes" he been accused
of by some but I did hear Wayne commented that he "made ice" what
was the deal with that?
Si says:
Yeah, Wayne thinks he's the reason why ICE is alive. Which is fine IN CHARACTER.
Because Jon has a big ego. However at times Chris lets that ego carry over into
his real life. I'm not criticizing him when I say that, because it's merely
a comment. He takes ICE seriously, and who am I to judge whether that's a good
or a bad thing? HOWEVER, he does go to far at times, like when he was clearly
beaten by Jonah nothing, Chris told me that "I felt I should have won that
one". I understand why he can piss guys off, or rub guys the wrong way,
but I take it all with a pinch of salt. He may not be the best roleplayer in
the company, but Chris is consistent, and at times, his effort is second to
none.
James Potterfield says:
Every fed should have a Wayne like rper maybe not Wayne but Wayne like
Si says:
Why do you say that?
James Potterfield says:
He motivates
Si says:
Oh absolutely. Dan Rose was the man that taught me that controversy creates
interest in e-fedding. Josh wanted to beat Chris in ICE, and he gave one of
his best in character performances whilst trying to do so. People get so annoyed
at him, and they HAVE to beat him. It increases work rate for sure.
James Potterfield says:
OK the ICE championship or the undisputed championship as it gets called now...
why do the champions bug out so much?
Si says:
Well with the exception of the current world champion, guys seem to lose interest
when they finally lift the gold. I can understand why - Kinda. I mean part of
the fun is in the chase. We all liked to watch Steve Austin fight Vinnie Mack,
but when he won the gold he became less interesting.
James Potterfield says:
I suppose, but Like Brennan bugged out while champion, and so did Dragon..
Si says:
In the same sense guys like to chase the title, and then lose interest when
they've won it. Lots of guys see winning the title as the pinnacle of their
e-fed careers. I disagree, and I think Zero's handler does too. It's not WINNING
the gold that makes you the best, it's keeping it for longer than anybody else
did. Brennan was different. Dan dropped the title when Dan needed time out.
Thus the quick title change to Chang.
James Potterfield says:
I can understand that but It seemed very umm Dan. like to suddenly need out
after getting the title
Si says:
Yeah, Dan. seemed to lose interest when he took most of the straps that he'd
earned. But from what he's told me, it's due to his personal life.
James Potterfield says:
Why did Chang leave?
Si says:
Paul (Chang's handler) gradually lost his interest in ICE. In my opinion he
was the best in the company for a LONG time, and I guess after holding the belt
for so long, he lost interest. Paul told me he needed time off, and tried to
come back as a tag team, but it never really worked out for him. Kev did the
same. lol. Kev told me he needed six weeks off, and never returned. Hopefully
one day he will.
James Potterfield says:
what tag team?
Si says:
"The Supreme Machines".
James Potterfield says:
ahhh How long are you going to keep Sensai around and did you know the song
turning Japanese is about masturbation? hard hitting questions at this point
Si says:
I did when it was pointed out to me - lol - which is why they changed music
to "Kung Fu fighting". And Sensai will be around until people tell
me he's become stale. I'm running him with Paul's full permission, and he's
been a big part of the Rising Sun/SAAS angle.
James Potterfield says:
Ok in a asylum first I'm gonna take an outside question. from Dage via AIM Iver76er3:
Think he would ever do an interpromotional Efed Show? like with RAWF
Si says:
That's something that I'm always open too. I'd love to do something like that.....
It'd be great, especially if the handlers are already somewhat aware of one
another and one anothers characters - like ICE and RAWF. It'd have to be done
right, but it could be fun - Not full time..... but as a one off maybe. I'm
open to ideas if Chaos wants to talk!
James Potterfield says:
that would be an interesting concept but the "egos", "politics",
and conflicting styles as ICE is Email and RAWF is board would make it difficult...
James Potterfield says:
one more from dage Iver76er3: out of RAW, NEW ICE...what has been his least
favorite gimmick and his favorite
Si says:
Hmmmm...... Good question. Thanks Adam. My most favorite......
James Potterfield Says:
but I won't
Si says:
Would have to be Dragon/Sensai. That guy made me laugh SO many times..... and
currently it's obviously The Zero Man (Which is why he holds the title) for
the same reason. I like it when guys make me laugh or smile. And my least favorite
ever....... ICE BLOCK.
James Potterfield says:
ICE block?
Si says:
Ahaha..... it's a somewhat long but amusing story. A friend of Chris's joined
as the character ICE Block. He was as lame as they come. In retrospect I should
have never allowed him to join. Any ways..... After one match (Which I think
he lost) his handler e-mailed me and told me that he couldn't roleplay because
he'd hurt his hand, or something.
James Potterfield says:
was he as good as Action man?
Si says:
Which is obviously stupid - Because if it was that bad, he couldn't e-mail.
Any ways..... Jordan and I had fun with the guy. Yeah. Frank was one in a million!
If you need a laugh, look him up.
James Potterfield says:
Efedders think of the weirdest excuses
Si says:
Not as good as action man sadly, which is why he's my least favorite. For sure.
James Potterfield says:
Purple didn't die... what the heck was that about?
Si says:
From what I gather, Jason left his wife in real life, and lost computer access
in the process. She got online and spread that shit about him just for evil
fun. He's now back online, he's apologized for me - I choose to take his word
for it, and he'll be back in FIRE soon.
James Potterfield says:
Honestly I didnt think he was dead even when "his sister" said
he was
Si says:
Me either, but I saw no motive for him/her to lie.
James Potterfield says:
What is the Deal with jagged Jett Blake?
Si says:
Oh...... He was the first guy I fired. His roleplays werent that bad.
I mean they weren't amazing, but the kid had potential in say the TV title division.
He completely dis-respected me one day, so I fired him.
James Potterfield says:
And then rehired him again?
Si says:
Again, I'm a sucker for giving people second chances ( look at Josh.) - I took
his application in for a different character a couple of months after the firing,
at which time he told me he was sorry, And he'd since grown up. I let him back
in, And the same shit happened before I'd even booked him on a show. So he was
fired before he even debuted.
James Potterfield says:
Did you ever join SMASH wrestling?
Si says:
*Pauses for laughter*. Heck no.
James Potterfield says:
Here another outside question
Si says:
Sure.
James Potterfield says:
Mandy says:
what does he think of the women's division? We were gonna get to that anyway
Si says:
Nice question. I've always been a supporter of the women's division, and although
I'm not a fan of intergender matches, I've always tried to keep the division
constant. (By handling Sierra Monk and Diana Jade myself).....Martin Price (Handler
of Nevermore, And former IWC fedhead) originally took control of the division
from me when the "Queens of ICE" was born, And he ran the first QOI
show to great success. The division slumped after his leaving, but is soon going
to be given a boost again by Rachel Widow, And the "mysterious redhead",
not to mention other ladies coming in soon. Mandy has also been a great contributor,.
I'm a big fan of ICE Cold.
James Potterfield says:
Is it kinda weird that most of the handlers are male save like Mandy?
Si says:
Not at all. That's how it's always been in e-fedding to my experience. Mandy,
And Joleen Marquis are the only two females to have been in ICE if my memory
serves me correctly. I wish we had more.
James Potterfield says:
It would appear to me if I was a female handler and wanted to do a female character
but the best I could accomplish in ICE was women's champion it would be annoying...
Si says:
I understand that, which is why I'm open to female handlers running male characters.
I may come across as a sexist ass here, but I never liked the "China wins
IC title" angle. I don't believe that women should fight men, and vice
versa. I keep the same belief in other sports. For example, Martina Hingis won't
play Pete Sampras at Wimbledon.....
James Potterfield says:
that makes sense but this is Efedding where you can bend the laws of reality
a bit. In my personal opinion if a female character wants to compete with the
males And the rps are good enough let go at it
Si says:
That's true..... but I try to keep thing to reality as much as I can, although
there are obvious exceptions. Men have fought women from time to time.
James Potterfield says:
of course I have strong RAWF backround where thats the case
Si says:
Yes, And that's the one thing that's always put me off joining RAWF. I never
liked the "Women in all division" idea.
James Potterfield says:
Well when you have 15 handlers And 5 of them are women that really gives you
no choice. Just take the ego shot And sack up so to speak you shouldn't win
just for having a male character...
Si says:
Word.... Although if others like that then I have nothing against it for them.
If enough people come forward, I might even be persuaded to change my principles
in ICE. This isn't a dictatorship. I try to do what the handlers want me to,
And if they think women should wrestle men more, then let me know!!!
James Potterfield says:
This question comes from Dan.
Si says:
Excellent
James Potterfield says:
Dan. says:
ask him what he thinks about being a fed head And having personal relationships
with some of the people on his roster.
Si says:
It's a tough line to draw. I know in the past that other fed heads have given
friends titles simply because they are friends. I like to think that I've never
done that, although I did bring pre-existing ideas into ICE, due to the quality
of roleplays I expected due to past friendships. I certainly dont think
anyone in ICE has ever been given a free ride because of a personal friendship....
If anything, In my opinion, I'm guilty of the opposite. I mean I've sometimes
held guys down BECAUSE they're my friends, firstly to make them realize that
ICE has no free rides, And secondly to make others realize the same thing. Onto
other aspects of the question..... I have friends who joined ICE, And I have
people who joined ICE that became friends. Taking the Josh/Chris OOC incident
as an example, I try to separate the two as best I can. I try to remain neutral
despite friendships. The Taylor/Kev OOC war is another example of this. It's
hard to keep the line sometimes.
James Potterfield says:
Another.... Dan says:
I'd like to know who he thinks has been the top two or three guys in ICE in
its entire history
Si says:
Wow..... Jonah Nothing is unequaled.
James Potterfield says:
I dont know if he referring to history with like Say RAW/ NEW/ICE or just
ICE
Si says:
The Zero Man And Lee Chang come in close 2nd And 3rd.
Si says:
If we go back to RAW/NEW..... Youngblood was always good. Jack Taylor came on
strong in NEW's later days. Wilde was great when he was active. Dage has always
been consistent. I could go on And on.......
James Potterfield says:
Ok The Double deadline system, why?
Si says:
Okay..... a few guys who shall remain nameless started to submit roleplays on
the last day of the deadline EVERY damn week. Now it's annoying as hell when
you're a fed head, because mainly, it means that you can't decide results until
the 11th hour (which you could argue you shouldnt do anyway - ).... Any
ways.... One guy in particular was winning matches by spamming me with as many
as 8 role-plays on the final day, And it had to stop. I've always pushed ICE
as a multi-rp fed, And although some guys disagree, And prefer ONE good rp....
I've always enjoyed a good back And forth battle more than a "One rp each"
battle. So yeah, that was why.
James Potterfield says:
Did you actually Read any of that TTW stuff?
Si says:
I actually Did yes. I think I was the only person that Did.
James Potterfield says:
but you haven't escaped the deadline inquiry, honestly, I read the first show
And but of the second but then stopped
Si says:
Yeah, it wasn't exactly absorbing. Dan. said it perfectly, it was Josh's PERFECT
fed. he could book angles as he wished, without handlers "Getting in the
way" of his fantasies.
James Potterfield says:
that was me pal, kidding
Si says:
Oh...... well whoever said it, it was true
James Potterfield says:
I found it funny he asked for people to participate in giving him idea when
he wasn't going to use them anyway...
Si says:
He wanted guys to come in eventually, but In don;'t think they ever would have
done. The fed itself was based around Josh's real life backyard promotion, And
the wrestlers that worked for it. BCBW. In actually saw Josh wrestle on two
occasions, And despite the ill feelings In have over the way he left ICE/FIRE
in the lurch, the kid's got talent.
James Potterfield says:
ok but back to the double deadline because it such a fun topic... In always
found it odd that to get people to rp more you were going so far as to ban some
from rping at all if they didn't rp by a certain date
Si says:
In was merely trying to encourage people to get their first rp in early, which
in my opinion would increase competition, And stop unfair spamming.
James Potterfield says:
was the spamming causing whoever to win?
Si says:
Occasionally, if the quality was good enough.
James Potterfield says:
hmm why to just tell them to do two And stop them from being lazy?
James Potterfield says:
Especially if said person has history of doing it
James Potterfield says:
you should be ready for it
Si says:
Because it wasnt about quantity, it was about lateness of submitting.
In was trying to get guys to give each other a chance to respond. They hadn't
been doing anything wrong when they spammed on the final day. They were operating
within my stated rules after all. In decided to change those rules to attempt
to increase competition. After a while it seemed to do the trick (The spamming
stopped, And
Si says:
more guys submitted things earlier) which led me to drop it. In decided that
the message had been sent, And that In shouldn't be so controlling as to tell
guys when they can And can't rp. In decided to let them do it how they wanted,
because as In said earlier, this is a democracy, And the bottom line is In want
people to have fun - However they can do.
James Potterfield says:
Did you realize the retardeness of some of the Zero man rps you got just to
mess with the rule?
Si says:
Oh absolutely. They made me laugh out loud.
Si says:
If nothing else, I'm glad it gave Zero something to make fun of.
James Potterfield says:
Ok What O2sweet
James Potterfield says:
IF In were a rper
James Potterfield says:
And in found out my character was being used without my knowledge And being
made a retard it would be pissed And rightfully so
James Potterfield says:
what was the deal with O2sweet?
Si says:
02Sweet was a joke in RAW And later in NEW. In brought him into ICE as a one
time joke, but people liked it so much that In kept him as a jobber/comedy character.
Every time I wrote him out, people seemed to being him back in.
James Potterfield says:
But he wasn't your character
James Potterfield says:
or anyone in ICE's for that matter
James Potterfield says:
true?
Si says:
I agree, totally..... but you have to realize that Sweet's handler was indeed
an ass, And deserved every bit of amusing comments that he got.
Si says:
True.
James Potterfield says:
I understand but I'm not sure In can justify using his character if he never
joined
James Potterfield says:
what Did he do to anger you so?
Si says:
My rules clearly state that "You own your character, And are free to use
him wherever you like in other
federations. HOWEVER - If you leave ICE with no notice, In will continue to
use your character as In see fit for as long as In want to until In am
contacted directly by you to discuss matters"
Si says:
Josh's NEW had the same rule. He agreed to let me use Sweet in ICE.
James Potterfield says:
but O2sweet never joined ICE that kinda of bending the rule isn't it?
Si says:
he didn't anger me. He was just a stupid kid. He'd pick fights with people on
the old RAW/NEW OOC board (Dan nearly closed the board down because of it once.)
Si says:
Sure, it's bending it. But it was for the greater good of the company. I'm sure
if we took a vote, most guys would be cool with his use.
James Potterfield says:
Was it for the greater good? What exactly did it accomplish?
Si says:
I made people laugh for a while, and also supplemented the original ICE roster,
which was weak at first. It gave us enough men to make a 16 man world title
tourney. Without 02Sweet, we'd only have had 15.
Si says:
((( IT made people laugh.... )))
James Potterfield says:
In just always thought it was landmine if he ever found out And start harassing
the ooc board again he would be almost justified
James Potterfield says:
(I know but I never liked it and basket case was in that tournament)
James Potterfield says:
Does it matter to you if a character is big or small?
Si says:
I suppose he would be in a way. If I still had the kids e-mail address, I would
have asked him. But like you said earlier, we stray from reality from time to
time.
Si says:
Hamm..... It Did at first. When ICE opened In was a strong believer in the "under
230lbs" division. In think the World Middleweight Division was a success
in it's first months, with rapid title changes, And exciting - high flying action.
Si says:
However, after a while, some guys became limited by the 230 And under rule.
So In decided to rid ICE of weight restrictions, Jordan Breen had a big hand
in that decision. Due to his badgering me for MONTHS to do so. lol.
Si says:
Right now In don't mind how big or small a guy is, as long as it's not unrealistically
big or small. I'll treat them equally.
James Potterfield says:
Ok
James Potterfield says:
What was the stupidest thing you've ever done in efedding
Si says:
My first character.
Si says:
"Beachside Bob". He was a lifeguard, And cut promos that make Fuego
Gouranga look like the world champion.
James Potterfield says:
What was your favorite feud to be a part of?
Si says:
When In was handling Simon Monk as a character in NEW, In _LOVED_ every minute
of his feud with Carl McCoy. Simon's IWC/NEW/ICE feud with Jesse Williams comes
in a close second. In also loved working Simon against Lopez in ICE.
James Potterfield says:
What was your least favorite feud?
Si says:
In terms of angles, the Simon/Gabriel vs Dan. Rose & RAW angle was amazing
to be apart of. We pushed the envelope to the extreme with that one.
Si says:
Least favorite, - ANY feud where the opponent no showed.
Si says:
In mean what's the point if youre role-playing against nothing?
James Potterfield says:
any one where the opponent showed And it just wasn't fun?
Si says:
Hmmmm..... In always have fun whether In win OR lose. In can't recall ever not
enjoying a match with one of my guys in it. Honestly.
James Potterfield says:
ok who outside the majorly successful people are you enjoying ICE?
Si says:
Which role-players?
James Potterfield says:
yea
Si says:
It'll sound like a lame answer right now, but their isn't really anybody in
the company that I don't enjoy reading the work of. I LOVE the SAAS, And Nate
Shaft always makes me smile.
Si says:
Steve Montreal also keeps improving.
James Potterfield says:
what about Like Jimi?
James Potterfield says:
or is he hugely successful?
Si says:
Well, I class Jimi as already majorly successful.......
Si says:
Yeah.....
Si says:
Terra's been beaten ONE time.... and he's in a big feud with Wayne. I class
him as main event, and his other character Jimi Sinister will have a bright
future In hope.
James Potterfield says:
Are you ever going to reunite the roster?
Si says:
Well when Josh left, In didn't want to just toss it back together. To do so
would have been admitting failure, And In didnt want to give up so soon.
In was planning on re-uniting the whole ship following the "Survival"
ppv, what with the roster becoming smaller again - But right now that's all
up in the air, because I'm in talks with someone who might be taking control
of FIRE again soon, in a similar fashion to which Josh Did..... Although In
have MUCH more faith in this guy. In refuse to judge him by Josh's mistakes.
And although In won't make his name public yet, he's a well known face in ICE.
And on that subject, Martin Price will soon be re-taking control of the "Queens
of ICE" division when he returns full time in a couple of weeks. So back
to your question. In don't see the roster re-uniting in the immediate future,
but one has to think that it's inevitable that it will do eventually.
James Potterfield says:
Alright, How long are gonna keep the 5-13 characters around that you control?
Si says:
Right now Jankis, McAdams, And Jade are pretty much fazed out. The Monks are
around, but not in a wrestling capacity. Simon will only wrestle one more match.
Then he's done. The other guys In control will stay around for as long as they're
needed, or until In become bored of them.
James Potterfield says:
why not ever just 86 them And rp in another efed if you have the rpin jones?
Si says:
I like to keep at least a few guys around to put people over. Most fedheads
In know have given themselves the world title at one point or another. I never
have. I see my guys as being around purely to help elevate others, and to fill
any gaps in the roster. And right now I'd love to join another fed. I've talked
about it with Jordan, but to be honest I don't have the time right now.
James Potterfield says:
Yea but when is filling gaps just putting a band aid on a gunshot wound?
Si says:
Not really. I mean you're saying to heal the wound I should recruit more people,
and I agree, that it's one form of action that could be taken. However, I think
it's important for a fed to have guys around that can lose without becoming
disheartened. And in my experience of e-feds, most guys get disheartened after
a while if they lose all the time, unless of course they're run by the fed head!
James Potterfield says:
In understand that in say RAWF you win or go home in the sense there is no people
to job to as they are weeded out and kicked off the roster which has had mixed
effects. I've commented that should be changed but the RAWF does hit massive
strides of quality And has been around 4 years so in know each system has its
pluses And negatives.... In Anything bugging you in ICE or efedding right now?
Si says:
Well the reduced number of roleplays we've been getting this past month bugs
me a little. BUT - I'm not complaining about it. In understand that it's a busy
time of year for a lot of folks, And that real life comes first. In also realize
that with any help, it'll pick up again soon. Nothing else springs to mind.
James Potterfield says:
Anything you want to vent on?
Si says:
Josh maybe?
James Potterfield says:
Go for it open forum
Si says:
I've said a lot of bad things about him in this interview, And I'd like to clear
the air. Josh And In were tight at one time, And as In said, we became real
life friends. I've tried to be honest about him today, but it's hard taking
the way he left ICE into account. Like In said, In hold nothing against him
personally And he's welcome to mail me/chat me whenever. However In won't make
the same mistake three times..... Josh isn't welcome back in ICE.
James Potterfield says:
if he just wanted to rp you wouldn't let him back in?
Si says:
No. In wouldn't let him rp again. He's dug his own grave, And now he can lay
in it. He's let me down more than anyone else in this "business".
Friendship always comes before e-fedding..... Although In try not to mix the
two when they become factors on one another - And In feel he let our friendship
down in the way he left. I'd also like to make a few shout outs if In may?
James Potterfield says:
shout away
Si says:
So my shout outs...... I'd like to say a big thanks to EVERYONE who's ever helped
make ICE the place that it is. (Josh included - lol.) Especially guys who've
helped me big time behind the scenes in varying ways such as Dan. Rose, Nate
Shaft, Jordan Breen, Martin Price, Paul Schofield, Steve LaFranchise, Jimi S,
and all of the people that have ever written matches for me. In could go on
forever.....
Si says:
ICE is the way it is because of ALL of you..... And hopefully I'm here to keep
the ship afloat for as long as you want me to!
James Potterfield says:
any Keith Thomas storied you want to share?
Si says:
KT came And left ICE in a heartbeat. In never liked him, or his style.
Si says:
Although it was his friend Jett Blake that annoyed me most.
James Potterfield says:
jett was his friend?
Si says:
Yeah. Their were three of them that joined together. Jett Blake, Brock Blaze,
and KT handled Gabriel Logan
James Potterfield says:
whats the weirdest thing an ICE rper has tried to do in or out of character
Si says:
Hmmmm..... In character.... it's got to be Steve Montreal. He's one in a million.
James Potterfield says:
Alright thanks for being on the show
Si says:
Thanks for giving me the chance to tell my story James...... And if you want
Freddie Sheik's job in ICE, it's yours! lol.
James Potterfield says:
bah I am not a lowly interviewer.... wait you know what I mean.
Si says:
Ahahaha. Word.
James Potterfield says:
peace
James spins around back to his desk.
That was a strong interview. I still chuckle everytime I think of Gabriel Wilde being champion for 2 months with out rping I laugh. Got to love his Hall of Fame speech at the last NEW show ever...
Nothing says great rper like no showing you HALL OF FAME INDUCTION. Real classy. I still have never really been impressed by Wilde. Never really saw him in his prime. And I think ICE should bite the bullet and rejoin the rosters. That just too WWE Rip off even if you did it differently.
Josh Richardson would be an interesting interview. If he could take time off his busy Backyard errr... indy wrestling schedule. But it was great interview. And regardless of what anyone thinks the O2Sweet thing wasnt cool. EVER.
James shrugs.
Also Im still not sure about the ICE womens division, Im just to sure if as female rpers wanting to do a female character I could be motivated to just win the Womans title. I know the hulking he-man efedders would cry foul if there ego were bruised and they got schooled by a female character/rper and lost a match. But that not the point in the long run regardless of what anyone says Efedding is about writing. If you can out write you opponent you should beat them even if they a guy and youre a girl. Come on its 200-freakin-2 almost 200-freakin-3 grow up. And dont give the realism thing, If Simon Monk and Jesse Williams can fight to highway bridge and kick out 546325 finishers each and one of them fall into a river.., Ice Cold can defeat Brian Greystroke. I find it funny some efedder allow the dispension of reality only to a point and that bugs me sometimes.
And one last thing before Im out. I said this back on the first show. But efedders, dont, dont, dont dont beat up or intimidate Jobbers in Rps. It just not scary. EVER. And please I know its fun and normal and well accepted but dont do in ring rps, sure there a debate her but is just shows a lack of creativity. IF you want to make in ring comments send in an in ring to Chaos or Simon. And gawd stop the house show rps.
He clears his throat.
With that being said Im heading out. this is the last week of two interviews. that just too many. Next Week Classic Match I swear. Really. Peace Im out.
