Digital Championship Wrestling Federation
I’ll admit upfront that I’m not a wrestling fan. It’s well produced theater that provides photographers and videographers with dramatic shots, but little else about it appeals to me. Nonetheless when I learned that there was a Digital Championship Wrestling Federation in Second Life and that it holds wrestling matches twice a week, I was curious enough to check it out. After watching a match, I found that like RL wrestling, I still don’t understand its appeal, but also like RL wrestling, it offers a photographer an opportunity for some dramatic shots.
Today’s match was between four wrestlers, Waroop Bravin,
Ari Lane,
Celtdan McMahon, and the current champion
MikeFreeman Straaf. Each wrestler was introduced in a dramatic fashion worthy of televised wrestling, walking out from a huge video screen that towered over them. In the first picture on the right, you see wrestler Ari Lane walking out from the video screen.

If you don’t care for RL wrestling, you probably won’t see much attraction in SL wrestling, but for fans, this could be a great opportunity. The Digital Championship Wrestling Federation runs a Wrestling Academy in the building next door to the ring, where there are two rings that are open only to group members, and two public rings, including a steel cage. If you love watching RL wrestling, here’s your chance to play the role in Second Life.

Eric Stuart, General Manager of the Federation, told me that he receives about 100 applications each week for the Academy, but accepts only 5-6 of them. I may not understand wrestling, but I do understand having a dream, and I wish these aspiring wrestlers success in achieving their dream.
Wrestling matches are held every Saturday at noon SLT and Wednesday at 4pm. Second Life members can teleport there by clicking slurl.com/secondlife/ZI%20Chantilly%20Dreams/87/19/41 .
