Just so new material is added and we know a bit more about who we're working with on a regular basis, I thought I would begin an OOC Interview series. I'm too lazy to get a Skype recording thing going and like taking my time thinking questions through so it's to be done via the PM system and then organized here. First up, Ambassador, owner and founder of the European Wrestling Foundation.
1. We know your profile name is Ambassador. It's most certainly not your real name (or is it? We do have people named Apple...) Anyway, would you like to share what your real name is? Mind, you are under no obligation to do so, but your fans want to know.
Well the man behind Royal Ambassador is Darren.
2. When did you begin into Fantasy Wrestling and how long have you done this?
I have been involved in e wrestling certainly for at least 12 years if not more. I began with XWF which actually still runs to this day.
3. Which one of your characters is your favorite and why?
I have always been Royal Ambassador, I think I may have tried other characters but Royal Ambassador has been the same all the way through the years.
4. Which character that you do not own (on this site) is your favorite and why?
There are so many characters on the site that I have liked, Dravaka Drimstone, ScarlettRose, and actually Buck Florida I really liked his approach, he made me laugh. I guess I am old school so the promo types of characters that relate to wrestling appeal to me as the other feds that I have been in were about wrestling it always has been.
5. How is European Wrestling Foundation doing? I think last I heard it was on hiatus. Will there be a grand return?
I actually took a break from the EWF earlier this year and decided to come back using a seasonal approach. Season 2 was underway but inactivity left me with little choices in terms of of stories. I felt we needed more on the roster and some backstage staff on the pages and creative side if EWF was to be the fed it once was. Currently is on hiatus but I never say never in terms of when and if it may return.
6. Is there another fed that you would jump at owning if you had the chance to do so?
I like Dave's fed wrestlewars, I have watched his shows and they look great. I like the way he does the intro to the show and the pages also look awesome. I think he's a good owner so I would take the reigns maybe for a short while but actually I would like to have guest commentated on his show.
7. You are awesome at doing the commentary for the EWF shows. Just totally off the top of my head, I'll say the following and let it go from there. "Found Footage Wrestling" No idea what that means beyond watching people wrestling and commenting on it and horror...
Thank you for the compliments, I have been pleased with the feedback I have had on the shows, comments such as I have never been so pumped up joining a new fed as EWF, and Ambassador should commentate for a living, awesome show, this is a fun place to be all contribute towards me feeling great and the whole thing being worth while.
8. Have you been involved in a few so thick with emotion that you felt as much anger toward the Handler as the Wrestler?
Sure there are times when you read the roleplay of your opponent, you read the comments which on the face of it seem personal, with Royal Ambassador it would be to do with British culture and normally making fun of traditional British ideas such as cups of tea and royal banquets. At times, yes it can develop into a back and forth argument almost but I keep my business in the ring after all, the roleplays are in character.
9. Who was your favorite feud with and why?
Actually I have been involved in some owner versus wrestler feuds in the EWF Bill Braak springs to mind, the kind of feud where wrestler challenges authority and then Ambassador responds and it ends up with a match going down or a screw job or Ambassador coming out of retirement etc.
10. What feds are you currently in? Are you looking at expanding to others?
I am not in any feds right now, I am thinking about joining one or two on efedwrestling and also possibly helping out at XWF the independent fed that has been going since the late 90's. They have two shows a week and the odds house show and PPV's.
11. In a perfect world where you had time to write whatever you wanted, what feds are you not a part of that you would like to join? Or rather, what feds interest you?
Well the video based results obviously appeal so Wrestlewars, a fed that was promo based and doesn't require long roleplays I think always work and the ones that have a healthy active roster appeal as you can work your way up and hopefully achieve success.
12. If you could improve the efedwrestling.com site in any way (without returning game elements), what would you do?
I would have the active feds feature more in terms of acknowledging good matches or roleplays or stories currently ongoing in the feds so somebody would need to scout around and find out what is going on. It would be nice to see a round up of all the efedwrestling feds and the top stories from each of those feds. From a fed owner I would find this motivating and it acknowledges the hard work that goes in. I also have seen a very good idea where you can actually have a frame on the website in the form of a play rewind and pause button and a phone number. People phone in and then leave an audio roleplay, you can incorporate music as well. Makes things interesting!!
13. Every fed owner has a wish list for handlers, and sometimes even a wish list of characters from those particular handlers. What is your wish list?
Be creative, run ideas past me, be assertive in terms of creation in your roleplays. Take the wins the losses and the double count outs!! Take the rough with the smooth the ups and the downs, contribute towards making the fed better and mor enjoyable and most importantly relax, enjoy and have a laugh.
14. What do you do when you're not efedding? Other hobbies, job, and such? Married, single, kids?
I am married with no children, I work for a local authority within Children's Services full time. Hobbies playing computer games, watching football now and again but not that often, I have been in local bands singing mostly classic rock stuff and I used to be an MC on wrestling shows so I have managed to get well travelled and have met some good wrestlers over the years including D Lo Brown, Homicide, Tracy Smothers, April Hunter and some great UK based wrestlers.
15. What is your favorite fed?
My favourite from this site right now is WrestleWars, off site XWF.
16.Ok. A movie is being planned with Royal Ambassador who do you think would best be able to play this person?
Hmmm tricky one, might need a veteran I think Dr Summeroff would be able to give it a good go.
