I figure that most of you know about me since I've been in the chatroom pretty consistently for the last couple months, but if you have any questions at all about anything, feel free to ask it here.

When did you become the best in the world?

Will we see Javi Dent?

What are your goals in this current run?

What is the reason for the transition from Fandango back to Morrison? I know Morrison wasn't available when you originally did your Drastik character, but Drastik's image is forever ingrained as Fandango in my mind.

Would you ever grow a mustache?

When will you post a real moveset, bio and etc in your sign up?

Sink or swim?

"Best in the world" began as a joke as part of Javi Dent just because of it's ridiculousness. In the chatroom, posing as a new person who had a hard time with English and smack talk, I would spam "BEST...IN THE WORLD" over and over again. The community being what they would always be supportive of someone so seemingly idiotic and would chant it back. Now it's used as a chant for shows, just as "SAIL" is. 

Will we see Javi Dent?

No, probably not. Javi Dent is working for an independent promotion down in Mexico as "Drastiko." Fight on, papi chulo. Fight on.

What are your goals in this current run?

Simply and honestly put, I don't really care that much about the legacy of feuds and stuff. I know some people can participate in a heated rivalry with someone at their level for months and feel like they're putting out their best work, but that's not what I am. I'm most driven by objective accomplishments, and as long as I have a legitimate chance at those objective accomplishments, it's all up to me. I do intend on becoming world champion again because I wholeheartedly believe that, based on skill alone, I can compete with anyone that's a part of EAW. I'm not guaranteeing a long stay as I have no timeline for this stint, but I'll focus on the things set in front of me. Right now, it's King of Elite which I absolutely intend on winning.

What is the reason for the transition from Fandango back to Morrison? I know Morrison wasn't available when you originally did your Drastik character, but Drastik's image is forever ingrained as Fandango in my mind.

Firstly, Morrison not being available had little to do with my choice of using Fandango as a picture base when I returned originally. Fandango seemed like he was so vastly different from anything I would be interested in as a picture base that I had to choose it. The name "Drastik" was additionally, originally a joke, but both things kind of served as the foundation for something that developed into something much better than I had planned. I liked Fandango's look and thought it was very fitting for what Drastik was, and it was difficult to choose between Mundo and Fandango, but I figure that people would be much more likely to try to use Mundo as a picture base before Fandango if given the chance. Plus, Morrison was my original picture base, so why not?

Would you ever grow a mustache?

If I had the ability to grow a thick pornstache, I would absolutely do it. However, I don't have that ability so I can't. A man can dream, though.

Are you Luzmala too?

Are you Luzmala too?

Yes, I am. Luzmala was a character that was thrown together pretty quickly in order to help bolster Hexa-Gun after losing David X (HBB) and uncertainty in how active Burned Man (Ken) was going to be. I'm not sure if I'd connect Luzmala to anything of mine. I think my work as him is okay but not incredible, and I've always felt a disconnect between what I'm after for my "monster" characters compared to how they're used/explained in script. Probably just not up my alley is all.

So now all our members are out in the open, why did you pick the name Luzmala anyways?

aah, I see.... but you're really doing quite a great job for the character you're a bit not really into. It's always a hard thing to promo as a monster character but you do great.

So, in your opinion, do you think Haruna can beat Luzmala? I know, it's impossible but hey.... it's worth trying lol.

Also, I have another question for you. After you're disappearing from the forum for a long time until now, how do you feel about the progress of EAW today since you left? Well, you're on the chat room everyday so you might be scouting for us a bit.

Luzmala, or more specifically "luz mala", translates to "evil light" and is a myth/legend that began in Argentina which serves as the setting for Luzmala's backstory. This "evil light" commonly appears in the dark across swamps and salt lakes and is a natural phenomenon that actually happens, but is commonly called a will-o'-the-whisp or ghost light in other parts of the English-speaking world. The people of Argentina believe that seeing such a phenomenon is a sign that evil spirits who have been trapped on earth because of their sins are lurking. It is considered a very serious omen.

As an additional tidbit, I was going to name the character "Santa Ira" but figured it was way too obvious of a giveaway. It seemed already obvious enough with how hard I ride Lucha Underground.

I guess anything is possible, but based exclusively on the practicality of a regular sized woman taking on a 300-something pound man-beast, I'd say that the odds aren't looking good. If we're talking about promo ability and all that, I do think that you've got some talent, but I'm not willing to say that I couldn't consistently beat anyone that's been a part of EAW. I think I can rise to any occasion.

After you're disappearing from the forum for a long time until now, how do you feel about the progress of EAW today since you left?

If we're talking about the community itself on the forums, it's about the same as always. There will always be a following for trolling, arguing, and other kinds of messing around. It's what forums create and that's not going to change no matter how fancy they make the site.

If we're talking about EAW's progress as a whole, I think it's definitely had a massive overhaul. To put it in perspective, when I last left in 2013 (technically 2014, but I was pretty much gone by the beginning of the new year anyways since I was more interested in starting up AWF), EAW was still on it's freewebs site exclusively and seemed to have a lot of weaknesses that needed ironing out. Since then, the staff seems much more streamlined and the overall appearance of the "brand" has improved immensely. The staff's done a great job of catering to a very wide audience and keeping a lot of people happy with how things are. There will always be little bumps in the road and people who aren't satisfied with how they're booked or whatever, but current EAW's shrunk that number dramatically. The writing has improved a lot in terms of character development and storylines, the promos have all taken a huge step forward, and the community seems pretty highly engaged in things on a consistent basis.

There was originally talk thrown around of the idea of Eclipse and Luzmala having a potential feud of a "Psycho against a Monster." Though this did happen during an fpv match would you have preferred to see it have it's own one on one thing or do you just not care?

Quite honestly, at the time that we were feuding I probably wouldn't have cared, but it didn't have a lot to do with you as an e-fedder or anything since I do think you put a lot of effort into your promos and it shows. Your personality fits seamlessly into your character and I think it'll take you places. That being said, the version of Luzmala that is/was a part of Hexa-Gun was very much rushed, and while he had the monster thing going for him, lacked a level of creativity that I have worked on with other writers as Luzmala begins his singles career. I feel as though the feud, at the time it was put together, would not have been that much since Luzmala was essentially only pitched as an enforcer for Hexa-Gun and not much else. In the future, I could see it working out to be a cool feud, but I guess we'll see how most people take the change in character I have planned for Luzmala, albeit slight.

Wow I didn't know you were the one behind Luzmala (I thought it was a DDD creation). What lured you into the world of e-feds? It's probably a question asked before but I joined when you weren't around much.

I was approached by a couple different people to see if I could fill in for HBB with my Luzmala character, but I was very concerned that people would be tipped off that I was behind it and it would then ruin my eventual return as Drastik, my main character.

I joined originally in December 2007 before EAW as it's own efed was even actually open. I had spent about a year on Yahoo! Answers Wrestling Section where I was a top contributor and clicked on one of those many spam messages by EAW Hall of Famer Masters before signing up here. Things were a lot different back then, but I enjoyed the community and felt like a lot of people were excited about who I was based on my reputation in the Wrestling Section along with the work that I put out. Since then, it's been on and off in EAW because of a couple of different bannings and firings.

If you were the Chairman, in what way would you change EAW, its rules, and practices from what they currently are?

Was your time as Drastik in 2013 your most enjoyable experience in EAW?

What was your favorite time to be a fan of WWE?

What is your favorite style of wrestling? (e.g. technical, high-flyer, brawler, etc)

What do you feel are and aren't appropriate applications of political correctness in our society? Do you feel that it hurts or harms our nation? (Or in EAW if you can't think of anything)

Does the length of a title reign correspond with its legitimacy? What makes a good championship reign? Length, number of defenses, memorable moments, matches, or something else?

What is your biggest criticism of EAW's staff?

Are writers more qualified to judge promos than anyone else? Obviously that's the job they're tasked with due to their position, but I've always felt particular people are just as, if not more qualified.

What is the best submission maneuver in all of wrestling?

Who is EAW's all-time best Chairman in your eyes?

Are people's opinions created equally? To what degree should expertise and experience in a particular field factor in with how opinions are weighted?

what other matches would you say are historically boring?

Generally speaking, I already contact the board if I have an idea of how I think EAW can improve in some way. A lot of the time, these are just suggestions that don't end up happening, but other times they're reworked into systems that actually end up being implemented (i.e. the Three Strikes Policy). If anything, I'd probably make EAW more like AWF. I think the point system is an interesting concept that, if reworked slightly, could make EAW feel more interactive and also make writers be more liable in terms of avoiding storyline win/loss decisions. My ultimate goal, and the goal that the board should have for EAW, is to limit pre-determining and long-term planning as much as possible. I understand that there is a tough balance in being able to let things play out and being able to build to something exciting, but the relationship, as a whole here, could be bettered. I have other ideas that are in the process of suggestion that I won't be releasing here.

Was your time as Drastik in 2013 your most enjoyable experience in EAW?

Probably, yes. Drastik's original character basically allowed me from going to the textbook heel or face that I kept flipping back and forth on to essentially a gigantic troll. I got to troll Kelton nonstop for my debut match. I got to troll Liam for my title win. I kept on trolling and trolling in script and the reaction to trolling, as it still is, was incredibly supportive. The only downside came from the moodiness I experienced when my own goals and stuff fell through. There are some things I would have liked to change differently, but it was fun for sure.

What was your favorite time to be a fan of WWE?

I'd probably say when I was first starting out as a fan in 2005ish. It wasn't that I think that's the best time WWE has ever had, but everything seemed so fresh to me that WWE could really do no wrong. Even when the Spirit Squad rolled in, it didn't seem that stupid to me. But it gradually got dumber and dumber until I just realized that tuning into WWE was a waste of time. I've seen most of the old stuff, so there was only so much I could do to distract myself from what was then the present. WWE sucks. You should stop watching it.

What is your favorite style of wrestling? (e.g. technical, high-flyer, brawler, etc)

Easily high-flyer. I also think that the high-flying lucha libre style of wrestling is the future of wrestling since it allows the casual fan to be engaged. I remember back when I went to the Great American Bash in 2007, I was with my dad who thought wrestling was stupid, and we watched the cruiserweight championship open. Even with guys in the match that really weren't built to be crazy high flyers, the match was easily the most entertaining of the night and even got my dad engaged. The main event, however, did not. I guess you can't bank on The Great Khali vs. Kane vs. Batista to be quite as entertaining. Oh well. Watch Lucha Underground.

What do you feel are and aren't appropriate applications of political correctness in our society? Do you feel that it hurts or harms our nation? (Or in EAW if you can't think of anything)

I think people should just chill. Try your best not to be a jackass and try your best not to be a sensitive little bitch and you'll be able to go places. Sure, I don't like hearing certain things because it sparks a bad memory or makes me think about something that I don't like to think about, but that's life. The thicker skin you have, the better off you'll be when you head out in the world. I worry that the political correctness that many realms of the internet demand breeds people that simply aren't ready for real-world interactions. You can be a person who actively sets and respects trigger warnings and whatnot, but you should EXPECT that kind of coddling once you're outside dealing with people. Shit's tough. Better to face it and find a way to deal than to keep repressing and avoiding it, thinking it'll go away.

Does the length of a title reign correspond with its legitimacy? What makes a good championship reign? Length, number of defenses, memorable moments, matches, or something else?

I personally don't care about how long title reigns are so long as they aren't like inside of a week or two or something. Obviously, if you can hold the strap for a couple FPVs, you're better off than losing on your first defense, but you still get that reign attached to your name. As time goes on, people don't know your history as well. You can have ten week-long world title reigns and in five years when only a portion of the roster actually was around when you were, everyone else will think you were some kind of stud. Only the incredible feats that get repeated again and again are the ones that stand out. It's all about how your reputation is preserved/romanticized.

What is your biggest criticism of EAW's staff?

I'm not on it.

Are writers more qualified to judge promos than anyone else? Obviously that's the job they're tasked with due to their position, but I've always felt particular people are just as, if not more qualified.

I think you open up a dangerous avenue if you let the general public decide what promos are good or not since, well, most people have no idea what they're really talking about. While anyone can read a single promo and tell if they liked it or not, there needs to be some relativism that comes with the judgement. In other words, you've got to read the majority of promos to see where that person sits in relation to everyone else's. If it's a down season, you might have "midcard level" promoers that "deserve" to be in the main event. If it's a competitive season, you might have "main event level" promoers that "deserve" to be mid-carding. I generally think that big match decisions should be decided by someone completely outside of the brand's writing staff. For example, if there's an important Dynasty match that needs as objective a judgement on promoing as possible, Showdown and Voltage writing staffs should make the decision.

What is the best submission maneuver in all of wrestling?

Gotta go sharpshooter on this one. A classic.

Who is EAW's all-time best Chairman in your eyes?

King Kjors

Are people's opinions created equally? To what degree should expertise and experience in a particular field factor in with how opinions are weighted?

Expertise and experience should always add value (or decrease value, where appropriate) to opinions
