PREMIER WRESTLING: SL’s WRESTLING AT
IT’S FINEST – JOSH (THOMAS1 BELLIC) REPORTING
I was making my rounds the other day
and happened to drop in at the Norsewood T Nightfire Arena, home to Premier
Wrestling. Of the few wrestling arenas
in SL, Premier wrestling is fast becoming…well…Premier! I saw a poster for an upcoming Wrestling
match, “Full Circle”, to be held Nov 12 beginning at 1:00pm SLT, and I just happened to catch one of the Wrestlers,
Texander Lee Carthage…. affectionately known as TLC by his friends and
opponents alike…and he graciously consented to answer a few questions about
this rapidly growing entertainment medium for the more discerning residents of
SecondLife.
Josh (Thomas1 Bellic) (JB): Thanks for agreeing to chat with me, TLC. So....a softball question: How long have you been involved with Premier Wrestling in SL?
Texander Lee Carthage (TLC):
Ya boy TLC, the thrill seeker, the adrenaline rusher, has been doing
this thing with Premier Wrestling for two years now, since February 2022.
JB: So tell me, TLC. Why is it that you wrestle?
TLC: Haha, that's a great question! There’re so
many reasons, but if I had to sum it up - It was always a childhood dream of
mine! Also, what could be more thrilling than fighting the bad guys and hearing
the crowd shout your name? I fight for my wife, Nikki, my two daughters, and of
course - my fans!
JB: Who are some of the wrestlers you looked
up to growing up?
TLC: Well, if it isn't pretty obvious, my
biggest influence is Bret the Hitman Hart. He's the best there is, the best
there was, and the best there ever will be. Other big influences I have though
are: Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, The Rock, The Undertaker, and The 1-2-3
Kid. Yeah, I'm from that generation of wrestling!
JB: Who would you say is the greatest wrestler of all SL Time?
TLC: Ya know, I've fought against many
opponents that really gave me the thrill that I'm seeking in the ring. Ya boy
has had some insane moments that pushed me to my limits! But if I'm being real
with ya, I gotta say the greatest wrestler of all time's gotta be none other
than my own mentor, the one who got me started and to this day remains an
incredible inspiration and friend to me - Dany The Thunder.
JB: I understand there are several wrestling
Sims in SL. Why did you choose to
wrestle with Premier Wrestling?
TLC: Are you kidding? Premier Wrestling is
AMAZING! This fed resonates with me so well. I had done my research before
joining a fed and Premier Wrestling is just a great community. They take really
great care of me so it was an easy choice!
JB: In RL Wrestling, it is widely assumed that
the matches are all "fixed" and the winner is usually the one with
the most elaborate costume. So, your
secret is safe with me (and our 170,000 viewers each month)...Are Premier
Wrestling Matches rigged?
TLC: ...HAH. Rigged? Ya think ya boy could get
the thrill he seeks if all his opponents just laid down and took the L? NEVER!
When you see me bleed....you're seeing me bleeding. When you see me putting
someone in their place, believe me, they remember it! What you see is what you
get!
JB: Do you have a “signature move” that you
are known for? That special thing that
you do that is a guaranteed hit in the ring?
TLC: Oh there are a few but I can tell you the
one the fans come for is my Adrenaline Rush! That usually happens when I'm near
losing the match...when it's all but certain that I'm going down...the
adrenaline just surges through my veins and out of nowhere, my opponent is
treated to a barrage of moves that puts them down for the count!
JB: So tell me. What do you think about your opponent for the
upcoming match?
TLC: This season, ya boy doesn't just have one
opponent...I'm facing against THREE who seem committed to humiliate me both in
the ring and out of the ring. These three are known as The Power Brokers!
They've done some serious damage and are trying to overthrow my Undisputed
Champion title for their own sick games but ya know what? It's NOT gonna
happen! They're overly confident, and they're about to discover why I am
ATTITUDE's Undisputed Champion!
JB: How can your fans learn about your
upcoming matches?
TLC: First is always on Premier Wrestling's
network: Twitter (https://twitter.com/PWrestling2019),
and YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@PremierWrestling).
Second is my own network: Twitter (https://twitter.com/tlc_the_fighter),
and YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@tlcthefighter)
JB: Is there anything else you would like to
tell our SL Readers?
TLC: Of course! I want to tell y'all about an
incredible show coming up that we're doing called FULL CIRCLE! You DON'T want
to miss this! There's going to be a LOT going on including ya boy in the ring!
It's all going down NOVEMBER 12th at 1pm SLT! Tickets are on sale NOW! If you
want that thrill, you'll be there!
So there you have it folks, straight
from the mouth of the man who should know.
