As I was going through some
stormed days –I wasn’t looking for who did it, but for someone to pay for it...
Nah not really, let’s try again… let’s say that I needed
to find a way to cleanse my karma off really bad vibes out of my last
secondlifean adventure. That’s better, but it has to be special because the SL
Enquirer has set the bar high in readership numbers, comments and well, land
shaking in-you–know-what adventure.
And the perfect assignment jumped
right at me, an amazing, fun thing to do. So let’s get down to it, because there
is only one good reason to check wrestling in SL, and it is the same good
reason to do it in any life. To have a
blast of a day.
Be wild, meet wrestlers, see the
action and maybe we can chat with the very own, DCWF’s Commissioner Numbers Rossini, a cool guy in all his right.
By now, I already have found out
that the DCWF or Digital Championship
Wrestling Federation, does not use pose balls to play out the matches. In other
words, the outcomes can be determined by skill and cunning of the amazing wrestlers.
Just as an example, the ring ropes are
flexible people, yes physics all around!
They have achieved these feats
because the DCWF is not new, it’s the longest running professional wrestling organization
in SL and yes, it uses a secret sauce –all I am saying is- that the NexGen Wrestling System, requires
practice to master it. Just like RL they have a head trainer. I tried one part
of the HUD, and I still don’t know how they do it. I couldn’t wait to see my
first show, for me it was on Wednesday at 3:00 SLT. They also have matches on
Saturdays 12:00 SLT and Sundays but it’s better to follow the schedules through
their Facebook page, or group.
But enough with unveilings.
First we need to get to Slam City, the home to the DCWF Arena, grab the free gestures since
you –the fan- are welcome to be a
loud part of the show. Outside the arena there is a marina, a park and a hot
dog stand. Slam City it’s also home of Hellkatz Angels Wrestling Extreme and
HAWX, all-women's professional wrestling organization in SL, the finest, I hear.
I really don’t know what to
expect, because we all know this is Second Life with all its limitations and
circumstances. I will say this, if you like detailed things, you can come to
appreciate the Arena. Take time to explore it, in the corridors to your seats
you can see the a ring of honor with pendants of some of the gladiators, you
can see Katherine Blackadder, Ace Nightfire, Misaki, Jerico Scarbridge,
Victoria Vain, Jeffery Fireguard, Ms. A. Rae, Voodoo, Phara Akula, Mythil,
Heidih Himmel, The General, Sir Quinworth, Bazza Windlow, Rosalind and more.
There is an executive suit, that
–it’s not locked— you can see why the reporters are always drunk, smoked, and are
basically spoiled people. Cooton
McKnight, Pepper Brooks and Blade Burner are commentators, it’s live! The wrestlers
enter the match with special effects and in average 20 people are present in
one clash.
After a violent outcome the
wrestler -Andrea Dalca- was furious, she kicked the commentator’s table and just
took a championship belt and she just didn’t care! Thanks God they have a
referee –a constant boo target. Dalca left in a blaze as the winner laid on the
mat. Crazy how they do this! But it was only the beginning!
Then was a hot Marcus Raimond
versus Mister Mafioso, who is a cheater! -There I said it! But I found myself
cracking when Mr. Mafioso had to crawl out of the ring after a bad hit he took.
The announcers explain the moves, they are allowed to say Fuc** at this sim….
Quite refreshing from where I come from in SL. But if you have SL families and
avatarian kids, please do bring them, they can get autographs, t-shirts and learn
how to grow big and hot like Marcus or way scary like Jack O’Lantern.
-Look! There is the commissioner
Numbers Rossini lets catch him. He has been difficult to get.
Mony: Mister Commissioner, a couple of questions. What does Success mean for
you and all the people associated with the Federation?
Commissioner Rossini: Success is putting on a product that is true to
wrestling tradition and its ideals. It’s
important to the DCWF to give a pure honest Professional Wrestling product.
Success also means simply entertaining the fans in a way that they can walk
away from the show and know that even though they were only in the audience,
the show was for, about, and involved them.
Mony: Bad blood- between the wrestlers?
Commissioner Rossini: Professional Wrestling is a very competitive sport,
and it takes all kinds. Some people like to cheat, others like to play within
the rules. Often times rivalries heat up and people get mixed up with each
other, that’s the nature of the business. We are fortunate that quite often the
fallout from those rivalries and disputes happens in our arena, in our ring,
and in front of our fans.
Mony: Commissioner, what do you see as the future of your loved sport?
Commissioner Rossini: Man, there are so many dynamics to SL Wrestling as a
whole, that’s a hard question to answer. It’s been around for 7 years now and
at the very least I'd love to see it hit the 10 year mark. It has changed, evolved
and grown so much, it’s hard to tell what it will look like a few years from
now but I look forward to seeing how it shapes, even if I’m no longer a part of
it.
Mon: And I ran out of space, but
I cannot go without mentioned that the Commissioner was especially thankful and
to all the people that makes this sport possible and named them in length,
unfortunately we are on tight space here.

something awesome in SL, go check them! And please add on the comments which is
