i fucking loveee wrestling soulmates. wrestlers who make sure you can feel the weight of their decades of history everytime they share a space together. wrestlers who willingly and lovingly accept being defined by another person. who can't stop telling stories about each other because they fucking love each other, in some way or another. wrestlers who make the story they're telling is good, who fight for the right for their story to live.
A collection of random snippets from Roderick Strong's LiveJournal, 2004-2005
So, unlike people like Punk or Joe, he never used his LJ extensively; there are still some fun/interesting posts from 20 to 21-year-old Roddy, though. Screenshots under the cut (with alt text and occasional commentary):
[the way he types always makes me laugh. So many exclamation points...]
[More exclamation points. Also, didn't know he worked CZW.]
[first time he worked IWA...wild.]
[first PWG match! Also him going out with Steen, Generico, and his "best buddy" Shelley, LMAO]
[Jamie Gibson becoming ROH champ, Punk leaving the indies, Roddy debuting the trunks, and them going to The Weiners Circle, which is thankfully not NSFW to read about.]
[Watching the Joe/Kobashi match backstage must've been wild. Also aww his mentor match!]
