1. What's your real name?
Well, it is not Rob, Robert, Bob or Bobert, just in case Retro Rob threw you in that direction, it is in fact Jeff.
2. When did you begin Fantasy Wrestling and how long have you been doing this?
I started early, on AOL, around 97-98. Maybe did that for 6 months to a year then stopped and forgot about it for a long time. Then in 2012, started to get back into wrestling and found FedWars, and have been doing it ever since, so about 4 years total.
3. Which one of your characters (assuming you have more than one) is your favorite and why?
I love RPing as Retro Rob just because he is a very generic character, nothing niche about him, so I can take him anywhere I want to go. The only thing that has carried through is his drug use, which is also very fun to write about. Since I have done most things that Retro has done, its a cool way to expand on my own drug experiences. He was the first character I had in FedWars/EFedWrestling and the one most people know, so its nice to have a character that respected across the community.
I will give love to The Captain Fantastic - He is more of a niche character and somewhat of a throwback to 80s and early 90s, and being a big fan of wrestling, it can be an enjoyable experience to RP in that fashion and just have fun with it. I had a hell of a lot of fun, even though it was short in WHW with Bernie - We had some good back and forth.
4. What's your favorite character owned by another player?
A tie between Buck Florida and Rob Riot - Buck was just such a fun character to read and someone you would always love to face. The humor, the anger and just the storyarc he would put out there was always a fun ride to go on. You know when facing Buck it would be an uphill battle but one fun awesome uphill battle. I feel like Buck could of been a real wrestler from 1985-1992 but died in 1993 having a heart attack banging a stripper.
I have a love/hate relationship with Rob Riot. One of the best characters/writers on the site, his Rps are always worth a read. But when you are facing him, you always have to watch your back. We had a few battles in PWA, and even when I thought I put my best RP out there, the next day he was another up, one upping you and making you feel like a jerk. He really feeds off of his opponents, which is one of the best qualities to have in this game. If you put in your best work when facing Rob Riot, you will get the same if not better coming back at you. Makes for great reads and great matches.
5. If you could own a fed (different than your own if you own one) that's on this site past or present, what would it be and why?
Thank GOD I don't own a fed, I don't think I could ever handle it. I give anyone who owns a fed such credit for doing what they do. For putting up with what they do just to put out a great piece of creativity. You have no shows, complainers, staff who aren't helpful and everything in between - Fedheads, i have nothing but respect for.
If I could own a fed though, it would be Water Hole Wrestling - The brainchild of RDJ and Summeroff - Even though it was short lived, it was one hell of a ride. The characters they had in there were amazing, and the environment was perfect for those characters. So the main reason I would of loved to have run that place was the potential that was there to have an amazing run of fantastic stories. Who would of thought a bar run by two nGw castoffs would be a great place for wrestling.....well it was and I can only hope a place that like really exists.
6. Who was your favorite feud with and why?
I have had a couple of good ones, which is a credit to the people I have worked with. Anyone who can really put time in and write a thoughtful RP to create this fictional story is a good feud. But if I have to pick one, it would be from PWA with Rob Riot. Him and I had a few different storylines together, the big one though was a Conspiracy storyline that really jumped off the pages. Ill let Rob Riot tell that one though, since he got the best of me.
7. What feds are you currently in? Are you looking at expanding to others?
I am currently in WrestleWars, which I was originally in back when Dave first start, but I am back now and just hands down impressed with how much it has grown. I know Dave shut down and rebooted but still, he has the talent in place to make this place really special. The shows he produces are fantastic and the way the storylines are breaking down are really interesting, I am very happy to be back and be apart of everything going on there.
I think I am good just in WrestleWars for right now. I have taken time off a couple times in the past two years and don't want to burden myself like I did before. I figure if I keep the workload lighter then those breaks will not be necessary. But I may pop may head someplace else soon, but you would have to ask Pauly about that.
8. 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?
If I was good enough, I would join NEW - Just because they have such great writers over there, it would be fun to be apart of. There is something to be said about going up against the best week in and week out. If I had more time, I would be in EWF - A wonderful fed, great video results and Ambassador is such a great owner and great to work with. A lot of the time that is half the battle, having a great owner who cares what happens. If I was only able to join one more fed, it would be RSW but you'll have to ask Pauly about that one.
9. Have you been in a feud so thick with emotion that you felt as much anger toward the Handler as well as wrestler?
Not really, I mean I think I have been in good feuds over the years but usually the feud is fueled more by mine and my opponents creativity and the want to create a great story vs me hating the other person. I also think when you let emotions get that high and it turns to anger, you really limit yourself creatively, just my opinion of course, so I would never want to get to a place where what I write on that page is hurt by my own emotions. But I am human, and those things can happen. I remember, not too well, but I remember getting pissed off by David Dreadful, don't really remember why. But anyway, usually never angery or anything - Us stoners usually are a peaceful bunch anyway
10. If you could improve the efedwrestling.com site in any way (without returning game elements), what would you do?
To be honest, I have always liked how LAL has ran it and just went with the flow. So would I really change anything, not really, just along for the ride.
11. 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 if you owned a fed or were recruiting for one?
Buck Florida
Billy Fowler
Any Summeroff Character
Any RDJ Character
Iron Bear
Max Soloke
Jesse Styles
Jonathan Mills
Ian Insane
Rob Riot
Dr. Gonzo
Frank Windsor
I'm sure I'm forgetting some people, but thats what the drugs do.
12. What do you do when you're not efedding? Other hobbies, job, and such? Married, single, kids?
Lets see, I have been married for about a year and a half to a women who I am been with for 6 years. We are currently trying to have our first child, so fingers crossed on that. I own my own UPS Store, as a lot of you know, which is going well, very well to be honest and no I am not hiring. I am a former athlete, which I have given up in my later years but still play mens softball in a league and basketball when I can. Still a decent video gamer, have been for a long time. I'm big in lucid dreaming, exploring the mind and shit like that - I try to trip out once a year give or take. I'm still a stoner but not as much as I used to be.
13. What is your favorite fed?
Favorite fed of all time would be PWA - For a period of time, I don't think anyone could touch what we were doing in there, very proud of my time there.
Favorite fed that could of been would be WHW - Again, I talked about this before - Still think about that place.
Favorite fed currently would be WrestleWars - I am really excited moving forward with Dave and the group we got, should be a hell of a time.
14. Ok. A movie is being planned with Retro Rob who do you think would best be able to play this person?
Thats easy, Ryan Reynolds or Justin Timberlake with full nudity throughout the whole movie
Just a side note - I do really enjoy my time here, and I enjoy all of you guys - To arguing with LAL over many things, to my morning bullshit with Fowler, to Summeroff helping me out with some great advice (if he remembers), to wanting to move in with Pauly, to listening to Vas's nonsense and lying to Riot telling him his music is good - Reading all the drama over the years which I always enjoy - Keep it up guys.
Well, it is not Rob, Robert, Bob or Bobert, just in case Retro Rob threw you in that direction, it is in fact Jeff.
