I would like to take this time to thank Mitch, who plays Vantage (if that wasn't already obvious >.>) for being the FIRST INTERVIEW POSTED...in 2012...where the world will apparently end (bitch please)
Tell us a little about yourself?
**I’m a freshman at Campbellsville University with a Biblical Studies major, I come from a small town called Morganfield, KY. I have a lot of hobbies, including efedding, guitar, the occasional yugioh and pokemon, RPG’s, video games, marching band, WWE…I think that covers it. But basically I’m fun loving, and God loving.
How did you get into Fantasy Wrestling?
**Funny story actually, I used to be on a pokemon forum, where they had a section dedicated to Pokemon RPG, play by post, where I was a moderator. Well the site shut down, and one day I was like…hmm…I like wrestling, I like RPG…I wonder if they have that. So I googled those words, and efedding is what I found.
How long are or were you efedding?
**I efedded for about 4-6 month my sophomore year of high school, then quit, never had that many matches, one of those, join then fade away guys, then this summer, I decided to pick it back up, and I’ve been dedicated since, so not long.
What type of Fantasy Wrestling Roleplaying style do you prefer? (Match, Promo, Game/Sim etc)
**Promo. It’s fun developing characters, and creating crazy scenarios. I’ve always watched WWE for the promos, on top of that, it’s the only efedding I’ve ever done.
Did you have any difficulty learning your preferred style during your first time doing it?
**Like I said, I’ve never known anything else, but I’ve always had a blast doing promo.
What was the first E-fed that you joined called?
**The sad thing is…I really don’t remember the name of it…it was a big board where I played as…I think Jeff Hardy…but I met a guy there, who invited me to come efed on his site instead, where I played, and had a little success as Mr. Kennedy, but both boards got shut down for copyright violation.
What are your favorite promotions?
**Well, efed, where I’m at now for sure. (WEW) It has all the activity and professionalism of WWH, but with a friendlier environment, and an unbiased and phenomenal owner.
Who was your first character?
**Well, the first person I really played with for a while, was Mr. Kennedy. As far as created character, I designed a high flier named Free Bird….who I never really used…at all. Vantage is the first I created from scratch, and used for an extended period of time, so he’s my baby.
How Many Characters do you control?
**Two. Vantage & Revelry.
How many Championships have you held during your career efedding?
**Considering my short time, just one, the WEW Universal title I hold now.
Did you make any friends in Efedding?
**I made one back from the old days, named Titch, that I haven’t talked to in years. Scarlett’s definitely a great friend, and in addition, nearly everyone on WEW I consider a friend.
Who are your favorite rpers?
**That’s a tough choice…I’ve always liked Twin K, because his style is always comedic, well color coated, and interesting to read. I might’ve subconsciously modeled my style after him to an extent.
Is there anyone you want to face in the near future?
**There’s tons of guys, SM Raye, Twin K, Chris Cane. Pretty much any of the big names that I haven’t gotten to have one on one yet.
Have you ever dealt with Drama during your time?
**Well…the transition from WWH to WEW is the most I’ve dealt with. Which most people know about. Btw, Alakai Burke > Adrian Hart. Just saying.
What is your opinion of the "E-fed Community"?
**It’s great! Good people, creative minds, all sharing a love for RPing, and for the most part, wrestling.
Have you ever made any regrets in fantasy wrestling?
**The two year dead period I could’ve been improving, and getting deeper into the E-fed Community.
How long do you plan on efedding?
**I don’t know…I mean, I started right before I went to college, which is a lot later than most people, so my time is somewhat limited, but hopefully as long as I can.
Do you have any advice for those who want to get into Fantasy Wrestling?
**Make good friends, and read other peoples RPs. Also, never be too prideful for advice, it can be the difference between you breaking through, and you staying on the dark card.

Describe how you will retire the character.

--Random Questions--
Do you watch wrestling anymore? What's your opinion on the mainstream companies now compared to the time you first saw WWE or TNA?
**Yes. I watch WWE mainly, with the occasional TNA. I think compared to when I first watched it…which was like 2006…it’s gone down a bit. But I also think in the past year, it’s come back up a lot. It’s hard to compare which is a better time, because it’s almost a completely different product. As a Christian, I definitely enjoy the PG rating for the lack of bad language, but as a dude, I miss the blood and hardcore stuff. Haha.
Favorite Wrestler(s)?
**HBK, Punk, Miz, Edge, Ryder. I’m a fan of light heavyweights with big mouths, lol.
Besides Wrestling, what else do you watch?
**House, and That 70’s show are tied for my favorite TV show, haha.
Favorite Movie(s)/Game(s)?
**Movies: Things that make you think or have plot twists, like Inception, or Limitless. Action Movies ya know. Games: Destroy all Humans, most RPG’s, WWE games, and Super Smash Bro’s for sure!
What are your Pet Peeves?
**Things scraping against other things….nails on a chalkboard, forks on a bowl, stuff like that. I also hate ink/tattoos/paint etcetera being on my skin. They can be on other people’s just not mine. Haha.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
**Hopefully in a church somewhere.
Who is your favorite GFX Artist?
**Hmm…a lot of my favorite GFX artist were at pokecorner…thus no one in the efedding world would know them. My RL buddy Justin’s stuff was always great.
