One of the major talking points this year has been the T.F.W.F. continuing to expand its roster. With the returns of characters such as James Onlee, Creme de la Creme and Legion in the last 6 months and the additions of the likes of Jack Hondo, Level One, Viktor Kovalenko, Exile and Latrisha it seems the federation was going to have hit a peak…not true. This week saw the additions of two of the most respecter rpers in the game Adam handler of MDK and Ryan handler of Ryan Ruckus collectively under the One Ring Circus banner with NP character Ornery Hillman at the helm. Speaking frankly about the move site owner Ian Monks had this to say

“There is a unique concept that Ryan and Adam have developed with the One Ring Circus, we are about unique in T.F.W.F. and taking the game forward what they have been doing in other feds is something we wanna take a sample of. I think this double signing can only mean great things for the T.F.W.F. game”

When asked about what drew him to the approach Monks was quick to answer…

“We have set out targets for this year to sign big rpers and people that fit the in and out of character image of the T.F.W.F., its been a recruiting drive so to speak, to find two guys who showed how great they can work as rpers in tournaments such as On Hallowed Ground is something we as a fed couldn’t pass up on”

With Ruckus and MDK’s reputations of the highest quality, Monks then fielded a question about the current roster and potential members leaving

“We got one or two guys who are hanging up the keyboard so to speak in June for their runs in T.F.W.F., for some its either they haven’t been able to adapt to the T.F.W.F. game which can be a bit tougher than most, or activities outside mean they have limited time available. At the moment we got a few guys on the shelf with school and work commitments. But for the long haul we have an excellent in shape roster and probably the most competitive and hard working behind the scenes guys in the game. To be honest…if your not with the T.F.W.F. or thinking about it…you are really missing out.”

When asked if Monks would go back on his current recruiting policy and look to sign most people he replied positively

“I won’t turn guys away from going the standard route of application, fact is that’s been our bread and butter for 10 years plus. What we are doing now though is going out there and finding the guys and gals who have the right ooc attitude and enjoy the game for being the game. That’s the T.F.W.F. fit, we don’t do things half arsed so to speak. If you can commit to a rp once a week and can take wins and losses for the fun of the game, that is what we are about. Sure there is competition in the T.F.W.F., but it’s a grown up fed, run by a grown up team that give you the best experience we can do. The door is open, but the rper has to be willing to step through it in character and out of character, I can’t say fairer than that…”

When asked if anymore signings will come Monks offered this

“We still got one or two guys we are looking to recruit. I have said if we can get the roster big enough we will go back to running a second show on T.F.W.F. which we haven’t done for years. It’s exciting times. Whilst most feds are struggling for members and results, we are adjusting things we do to take advantage of an e-wrestling recession, which to be honest I don’t think exists…what I think exists is too many feds haven’t adapted to the changing times. We have done and thats why we are the market leader.”
