Mike: Welcome Andy. We'll start off this interview with a few basic questions. How long have you been into E-Wrestling?

Andy Bloxham: Umm, I think next month will be the two year mark for me.

Mike: That's cool, so how did you get involved in E-Wrestling? Were you an average wrestling fan, or just someone who likes to write?

Andy Bloxham: I've liked wrestling since I was a little kid. But I think the thing I liked about FW was the writing aspect. Ever since early grade school, I was always writing short stories in class. This was just something new and interesting, allowing a chance to write some more.

Mike: Has E-Wrestling helped your writing skills evolve at all?

Andy Bloxham: Oh, I dunno. It's helped me to enjoy writing a lot more. Going into college, it probably had some sort of factor in deciding what I wanted to major in.

Mike: That's really cool, but please allow me get back to the E-Wrestling questions. What are some of the things you dislike that are going on with E-Wrestling currently?

Andy Bloxham: Ha! Hmm... Probably a few things. I look at it as a hobby. Even stamp collectors take their hobby SERIOUS to a certain point, though. That's not an issue. It's only when people take their character to heart and think that they are their character. That's when the fun starts to leave. When they complain about a lack of "push" or something, constantly have fights amongst other members of a fed, or basically start to look at ewrestling as more than just a hobby; that's when and what I don't like about e-feds. Other than that, they're a good creative medium.

Mike: What do you think an E-Federation needs to be successful, without saying any of those fancy extras?

Andy Bloxham: Success is relative. As long as the people inside of the e-fed are enjoying what's going on, then the fed has succeeded.

Mike: Point taken, but what is your take on angles in E-Federationss? Do you think angles are starting to become hard to think of without recreating an already done one from WWF, WCW, or ECW, or do you think there are still tons of ideas left to use?

Andy Bloxham: There's more out there than just what the wrestling companies are doing. Angles, in a way, are done in any kind of theatrical styled outlet. Movies, sitcoms, wrestling, even the 5 o'clock news... it's all just cliffhanger writing. So basically, professional wrestling is just using the same technique that everyone else does.

As it relates to e-wrestling, as long as people keep thinking creatively, angles and such can always be something new. Those ideas are just getting harder and harder to come up with as so many things from the entertainment world are being presented to us these days, because even those can be recycled to a point. But yeah, I think there are still a lot of untapped resources people can use to create new and exciting angles in e-wrestling.

Mike: Interesting point of view, now moving on... how do you come up with these intense roleplays of yours? They are very descriptive and keep people waiting for the next one. How do you do it?

Andy Bloxham: No clue, man. I just take notes of dialouge, write an outline, and see where my imagination takes me. Whatever happens is the story that's put out. If people like it, great. But as long as I can entertain myself with whatever comes out, that's all I need to be happy with it.

And one more thing... I have to give a lot of thanks to my 11th-12th grade high school English teacher. I learned a lot in her class. She was an awesome teacher. Everytime I see her now, I always say hi to her and talk about English with her. Real nice woman and a great teacher. Teachers don't get the credit they deserve. So, whoever is reading this, give them that credit! Do so by paying attention to what they have to say and, at the very least, respect what they have to say.

Mike: So... what are some of your hobbies besides E-Wrestling?

Andy Bloxham: Hmm... Writing is a hobby, regardless if it e-wrestling or not. I like to debate a lot. There's a definite line between arguing and debating, though. Arguing can get pretty dumb after awhile. But someone can pick a topic and stance, and I'll debate with them. It's something I've done since I was 10 years old or so. I'm also a big music fan. Whether it is punk rock, 50's and 60's oldies, or even some classical music, I like a lot of it. I also play the drums in a punk band called "Fast To Nowhere." Other than that, just being with friends and going to school is what take up most of my time.

Mike: Well Andy, we're out of time. Anything you want to say, any sites you want to plug?

Andy Bloxham: Just have fun in e-feds. Fun is the key factor. Also, thanks for the interview man. It was my first, so I thank you for the chance. And thanks to anyone who has clicked on a story link and read anything that I have written, regardless if you liked or not.
