“Closing the Gap”
Here’s the commissioned piece I’ve been working on! And, yes, it’s Snarry!🙌 (I wonder if anyone guessed it right XD.)
This scene is from a client’s pro-war Snarry fiction. After years of navigating an ambiguous relationship, Snape and Harry finally find themselves together. It captures that intense moment when Harry grapples with whether or not to confess his love and kiss Snape.
I hope you all enjoy this drawing as much as I did creating it! The background and perspective posed some challenges, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
P.S. If you’ve seen my previous post, you’ll know this is a deliberately “beautified” Snape XD. I genuinely wrestled with how to portray his face.
For those interested in seeing the evolution of Snape’s face throughout the process, feel free to check out the link 👇🏻

Pro-Wrestling Novice
Kinktober day 5: Collaring | Sweat
Also contains handjobs, a kind of submissive Hugo Vega and brief mentions of other characters.
After that first time Hugo and you had play-fought in his little wrestling themed room, you’d made it a habit. Once a week, you’d go out to trivia night and order a charcuterie board for the both of you. Then you’d split the winnings with each other (splitting the discount for fixing your respective cars) and head to Hugo’s house. You’d spend most of the evening talking about anything and everything. You’ve pretty much told him the whole history of the elephantidae evolution tree and the different branches. And you’re sure he’s damn near memorised every single literature book detailing the most famous or underrated artists in each art era. He’d fallen in love with Asian elephants, calling them sweet old buddies so he could watch you smile. You’d fallen in love with Monet’s paintings and how Hugo seemed to be able to analyse every single paint stroke.
As the night went on and Ernest went over to Lucien’s house, you both made your way over into the beloved room. The biggest opening to Hugo’s heart. It was stunning, so much effort and dedication placed into such a dear thing. It brought wonder into your eyes every single time. There was enough space in the middle of the room for you both to play and wrestle as long as you both wanted. Both of you would always end up breathless in laughter, the joy of acting and getting to be so carefree with each other addicting. And it was great to learn so much about the sport, the history of it, the moves. Especially the moves.
Maybe you were just a pervert. Maybe what you felt for Hugo was more than just romance. You’re pretty sure he wouldn’t mind it either, you were both grown men, God’s sake!
But sometimes, just being close to Hugo made you feel hot. Dizzy. It made you feel gross in a way. And these little play sessions- You hate to admit it, but more often than not, you’d hope that you were a braver man. That you could ask Hugo for something more than just these cute dates and more on the lines of bend you over in half. Not that it would be safe. You’re sure your back would snap in half. You’d felt the strength in that man, especially during that one trivia night. The effortless way he’d picked you up from the pure joy of seeing those wrestling tickets.
So maybe when tonight you chose to wear something different with the excuse of having accompanied Matt’s young friend to a concert beforehand, you actually had less innocent intentions in mind. You’d asked Mary, rather shyly, what the best way to hint at a man into having… “relations” would be. Her suggestion, pretty crude if you may say so yourself, was essentially to throw yourself naked at him to finally “get a good fuck.” You then went to find Matt, and beg for his more sane advice. His good advice.
Which led you to tonight. Dressed up in tight, glossy, black leather pants and a black muscle hoodie. And a collar around your neck. It had been a very last minute addition, a sudden find that Matt had insisted you wore. Something about having known Hugo for long enough to know he’d like the look of it. You didn’t understand what would be so appealing about a collar, but you trusted Matt’s judgement. With a simple ring in the middle and about eight evenly placed d-rings, the collar seemed to you to be pretty basic. Something simple you’d bought when you were younger and stupider. The buckles and spikes were a plus, adding to your obvious punk/ska aesthetic. Cute. The whole outfit was simple enough to seem legit. Plus, you had promised to take Pablo. So it wasn’t an actual lie. But there had been no need for it.
With excited encouragement from Mary, Matt and Pablo, you made your way with Matt to the trivia night. To Hugo.
Hugo’s reaction had sent nerves through you at first. His wide eyes had been the first thing you’d noticed. The second being the way his back straightened more than it already had. It had felt almost like that first date you’d both gone to. His eyes never strayed from you, even as you both answered questions where you could. But every time you looked back at him, he looked away in such a cute, bashful way. He didn’t seem to eat a lot either, nearly half of the board being eaten by you. You’d have eaten more if it hadn’t been due to your nerves.
The walk back to his house had been fun, at least. Hugo’s nervous rushed speaking made you less anxious, ironically. You loved teasing him, playfully.
But when you got to the house, everything seemed to ease slowly. Maybe it was the familiar environment, or the many number of distractions. But Hugo eased considerably. Just like always, you both talked and talked and talked. Of silly little nothings, of the compositions of stars and how music could be translated into it. Until Ernest bravely stomped down the stairs and out the front door, with a simple goodbye wave.
The tension hit like a train. Hugo nervously grinned and guided you back to his wrestling room. You did your best to crack jokes once you got there, doing silly little stretches to make Hugo relax again. But Hugo seemed so distracted, gaze averted somewhere on you. But you paid it no mind. Once you deemed yourself sufficiently warmed up and stretched, you bounced on the balls of your feet.
“C’mon, J.D Slamminger. Show me some new moves!”
Hugo laughed, “you think you can handle the power of literature?”
And so the playfighting begins.
It lasts a long time, grunts and laughter filling the room at each others theatrics. But at some point, you realise that this is very quickly turning from innocent to a bit sexual. Hugo’s shirt is bunched up around his waist, the first few buttons having popped off after a particularly hard tug from you. His pants are riding low on his hips, giving you a sneaky glimpse to the edge of his underwear. You’d always noticed that Hugo seemed to have a very good amount of body hair. Now, it’s glaringly obvious. His chest and stomach are covered in the thick, dark strands. And he’s got a very unholy happy trail disappearing into the waistline of his trousers, and you really can’t help but wonder. Where else does he have this much hair? You’re both sweating gallons. But your eyes trace the way sweat drips down his neck and clings to his skin, to his chest hair-
He takes advantage of your distraction and lunges at you. It’s so damn sudden, that you can only yell as your world turns upside down in the matter of seconds. When you blink away the black spots in your vision, your breath gets stuck in your throat. Hugo’s face is right in front of yours, a crooked smile and effort squinted eyes staring at you in such pure innocent joy. His face is flushed, hair messy and matted down from the sweat pouring down his face. He’s pinning you down with all his weight, making you grunt. He’s incredibly good at this game, smart to see where you could definitely break out of the hold. You’re essentially half-pushed up against the wall, upper back resting against the cold material. His knees pin your hands to the floor, preventing you from pushing him off. But worst of all, he’s got your legs pinned right to your shoulders. Hell- you didn’t think you were still capable of bending like this, although your back is complaining. His hands are pushing up against the back of your knees, and despite how hard you try to kick off or push back Hugo is just too strong. It’s messing with your head-
“I- uh- don’t think this counts as a pin, Hugo,” you breathe out.
Hugo lights up, “you remembered! No it doesn’t, because your shoulders aren’t touching the floor.”
You tremble slightly in the hold, feeling sweat pour down your neck and gathering at the leather of your collar. Fuck, you must make a sight, your legs essentially framing the collar around your neck. You look up at him with half-lidded eyes.
“Then why- are you holding me down like this?”
His smile drops into a look of confusion, until it seems his brain catches up with him. And he seems to choke on his breath, hurriedly dropping your legs and letting you out the pin. He’s wringing his hands, so utterly nervous. Poor guy. You’d comfort him, but you’re still panting for breath on the floor. You let your face hand a bit, and your legs stretch out in front of you. Sweat drips off your face onto the floor in a disgusting puddle.
“L-look, I’m. I’m sorry, really. I hadn’t meant to put you in such an uncomfortable situation and I understand if you’re-”
“Hugo.”
“- mad at me or- or if you don’t want to come back! It was improper of me, to put you in such a weird position-”
“Hugo-”
“- I swear, it won’t happen aga-”
“Hugo!”
His mouth snaps shut, and he stares at you with the guiltiest puppy eyes. You stare back at him, unapologetic and unwavering.
“You know,” you whispered, “I’ve been wanting you to show me how to do a Rana pin.”
You were scared that maybe you’d gone a bit too far, but the look on Hugo’s face is worth the fear. You both know that he isn’t going to be teaching you any moves right now, and you know you wouldn’t be able to learn it anyways. So when comes back to kneel in front of you again, you’re expecting the tentative hands skimming over your skin. The touch is so soft, it sends subconscious shivers up your skin. He traces up your sides, rough hands wrapping around your shoulders and brushing up the curve of your neck. They pause at the edge of your collar, slipping two fingers gently under the leather and tugging. You breathe out a gasp, closing your eyes and letting your head drop backwards. His hands are restless but gentle, his right index hooked on the O-ring at the front. Hugo pulls you close by it, shyly bringing you in for a kiss. It’s pretty chaste and simple, until you playfully bite at his lower lip. He huffs, opening his mouth for you to slip your tongue in. The kiss gets deeper and more frantic. Hands clawing at each others clothes, hastily pulling them off each other.
Once you pull Hugo’s shirt off, you can’t help but sink your face into his chest. You nuzzle into it, relishing in the softness of his muscle and the scratchiness of his chest hair. He gasps, moving his hands down to squeeze at your sides. You lick at the sweat-addled skin, eyes fluttering at the taste of Hugo. You let out a sigh when Hugo’s hand moves past the waistband of your trousers and gropes at your sex. The whimper he lets out sends you dizzy with want. You’d forgone underwear all together, and you’re sure he can tell. His hand feels good despite how gentle and slow it is, so you buck your hips against it to get more friction. In exchange,, you bite and suck at his chest. Leaving marks that’ll eventually turn into bruises. Your hand sneaks down to Hugo’s formal trousers, unbuttoning them deftly and undoing the fly. You shimmy your own hand into his underwear, wrapping your hand around his dick and giving it a gentle squeeze. And God, he’s so sensitive, whining at the feeling of your dry hand around his dick. The sweat that had accumulated eases the slide a bit, but you still pull back to lick at your hand. It tastes salty, his sweat clinging to your hand. You make sure to let enough spit cover your hand, so when you wrap your hand back around Hugo’s dick it glides much more smoothly than before.
He’s desperate, rocking his hips weakly into your hand as you grind against his. You push your face further down his body, sucking at his nipples harshly and making him cry out. Although you can’t see his cock, you can feel veins wrapping around it as you pump it in the rhythm of his thrusts. It’s thick, enough to keep your fingertips away from each other. It’s a bit longer than average too. Soon, he curls up around you and spills into your hand. Shaking like a leaf ontop of you. You grind harder and harder into his hand. He kisses you, whimpering as he licks into your mouth with desperation. He pulls hard at your collar, thinning your breathing and making you come with a loud cry. You slump back against the wall and, as you stare at each other, you both begin to laugh.

That Wrestling Moment: A Masterclass in Bodyworship (Brooklyn Bodywrecker v Dino Sierra)
Learning pays off and there is no better teacher than the man that puts the PRO in gay pro wrestling - the Brooklyn Bodywrecker.  
Tumblr media
All content is property of Bgeast.com and this all is taking place in my imagination (sort of).
The Backstory
The phenomenon of wrestling worship may appear to unfold effortlessly, but make no mistake – the Brooklyn Bodywrecker has dedicated years to refining his art. What seems like a seamless evolution towards heel worship is, in truth, the culmination of meticulous preparation. The process involves systematically breaking down the opponent, the jobber, until they reach a state of complete submission. Only then are they truly primed and prepared to embrace the role of a devoted follower.
The Action
The Brooklyn Bodywrecker is a total pro and knows the ins and outs of bodyworship.  First he baits his opponent into checking him out.  It's key to show off and let him have a good look at what he'll be worshipping.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You may even give him the upper hand for a bit, if only to make the point when you crush his dreams, all the sweeter.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Moment 
Much like a cat toying with its prey, the moment arrives when your jobber is ripe for the rug to be mercilessly yanked from beneath him. It's unmistakable – that instant when hope is snatched away, dreams are crushed, and the stark realization dawns that every effort was futile from the very beginning.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wrestling by now is over.  Did it ever really begin? Of course not, it was all just an appetizer for the main course - the worship.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ABW or Always be Worshipping.  And never forget that the pinnacle of worship originates with the jobber, fueled by an insatiable desire to appease the heel.

Now that it's been a week since Ash's okay finale I'm just gonna say it's still a travesty that the anime will never get to pull the trigger on the following things
Main villain Giovanni and his defeat
Team Rocket departure and redemption
We'll never know what happened to Team Rocket's Domino, Pierce or Dr Zager
Butch and Cassidy never resolved their rift
Misty getting a water-type starter (no seriously the audacity of the anime to tease giving Misty Totodile, back out, and then give Brock a water-starter the first series she wasn't in!)
Confronting the debacle of how Misty would react to a Water/Bug type
Ash never gets to fight Nemona, even though the whole Paldea multi-path storyline is tailor made for him, Nemona, Penny and Arven to adventure through the 3 layers of Ash's core personality (love of battles, love of Pokémon, love of friendship)
Rematches with Tobias, Alain (properly, not that bullshit with Leon), and Harrison
May and Max meeting Clemont and Bonnie
Ash's Primeape never came home from the war of Pokémon pro wrestling, even though a fresh new evolution was waiting for him
Misty never reunited with Togetic
Brock never reunited with Vulpix
We never got a full episode of Ash reuniting with Butterfree, 147 episodes of Journeys including fillers of Ash and Go getting high on Slowbro/Slowking shells and having a curry fight but we couldn't fit room for Ash to reunite with his first capture
Ash meeting his dad
Ash meeting Ho-oh
As much as I'm content with how it ended, never forget what they took from us

Worldbuilding on Fauna
This was supposed to be a Vyncent headcannon list, but I ended up just talking about Fauna instead. Enjoy!
I tried to do some very surface level research into what Asian decent Vyncent could be based off, and the closest I found that matched was Mongolia. All my research is very shallow, please don't take my word as law, but from what I've gathered is that they are from a cold climate, with rich traditions. They are traditionally nomadic, have extensive and rich cultures in arts, music, and dance. They have unique architecture called a yurt. They had woodcarving, metalworking, embroidery, and weaving. Men and women both wore skirts and pants. They had meat like mutton, and beef, and herded sheep, goats and yaks. They had horse racing, wrestling, and archery. The games they played were chess and checkers, dominos, rock paper scissors, and puzzles.
Deriving from this, I believe that Vync-
likes music without lyrics, because English is his second language and it's hard to keep up, and most of his music back home was mostly instrumental anyways
wears gender non-conforming clothes
used to help herd animals while the older adults hunted. He knows how watch a flock, and has also sat in fields for long times just staying alert. B/c of this, his stake out abilities are top notch. He can disassociate like a pro and probably has ADHD. (head empty fr fr)
is really good at traditional board games, and always wins. He also likes puzzles, even if he is stupid sometimes and has to get help. He likes fidget toys. He likes video games as well, but because he grew up without technology he is horrendous at them. He still loves games and puzzles though so he still tries. Will and Dakota try to help him with some video games, but Vync likes the single player games the most bc he doesn't feel left in the dust when playing with his friends.
can tell when clothing is cheap and of bad material/craftsmen ship, and because of such he has a picky taste in quality. (his preferred fashion is maximalism and weird-core) (He has sensory issues fr fr)
Also, he lives on a floating island. We didn't see a horrible lot of worldbuilding b/c the world building was... well, destroyed in an apocalypse. I wanted to expand a little on that as well. What I think would be cool and good worldbuilding is if every Great is from a different island, and each island as a different climate/elf species.
Remember, all floating islands are flavored to be close in culture to a general overview of Mongolia culture, or in cannon, some East Asian culture.
The Lush Island
Vyncent comes from an island that is more traditional. It's smaller, and the communities are like tight knit families. Their climate gets very cold in the winter, so the weird fae-magical elf evolution would be the small predator animals that people sometimes draw for Vync as a headcannon. Small predator animals include cats, foxes, small predator birds, and sometimes dogs. It helps to be adapted to traverse in the snow, as they have two seasons, 'Dormant' and 'Bloom', basically Winter and Spring. Their Blooms is very abundant and full of festivals and celebrations, with long sunny days that could be disrupted by powerful storms. Dormant is even more brutal and dangerous, and what they prepare for during Bloom, so that they have stored food to survive the freeze. The traditional way of life has been very well preserved, that a lot of old techniques of artisans that would have been lost to time have been preserved. They have expert woodcarvers, metal workers, embroidery and weaving. Vyncent's sword was made on his island, and is part of why it's so powerful.
The Convergence Island
Strider is a rouge, wears a cloak, is mysterious and brooding. Strider would come from a island that has a larger community, because then there would be a reason for crime/stealing and or being a vigilante. The community would have to be large enough that there is animosity, so his island might be known as the 'City' island. This would be a market intersection, like Riptide's 'All-Port'. There is a strong Tribal Government there, with a clear Chief rather than just local figureheads and Respect for Elders. There is hoarding from the rich and people trying to build their lives from the ground up. Think ' The American Dream'. It's mostly a scam, but sometimes if your lucky you can make it big. Because of the city the island is a melting pot of multiple different elf evolutions, but the native's to the island have evolved to fit a more lavish, modern life, growing very tall, slim, and frail. They speak softer and less rushed, are often physically weaker, and have features for social evolution and not survival evolution (think classical faries and fae, with big buggy eyes and eyelashes, high cheekbones, slender faces, shimmery skin, slender soft hands, long hair and well kept hygiene.)
The Sunlight Island
Alphonz is the paladin. He wears a lot of heavy armor, so I believe his island would also metalworkers, the main suppliers of such. They are also a very religious community, with religious leaders controlling the tides rather than political. Their island would be the highest up, to be the closest to whatever the equivalent of 'heaven' would be. Of course, the evolution of the highest island would be wings, but most wings are made for gliding rather than flying because of body mass and energy and whatnot. Because of this, most people from this island can find jobs elsewhere as messengers. These people often get around to other islands eventually in their lives, and are known to be wanderers. They are closest to the sun so they have very thick eyelashes and undereye markings to protect them from the sunlight, and the darkest skin. They have a lot of intense flowers and foliage because the closeness to the sun. Their waterfalls from the top of their island run into the other islands below.
The Sunken Island
Min is a mage, and uses a lot of water themed magic. Because of this, I believe Min's island would be more like a bowl full of water, and most of the people would live in underwater domes, or on small floating islands. The people who live here would have evolved to be semi-aquatic, with features like frogs, dragonflies, fish, and such. Their island would be abundant with a fishing culture and magic, with huge coral structures and beautiful vibrant colors. The island would also be more traditional, much like Vyncent's.
The Badland Island
Ram is our beloved gunslinger, so obviously his island would be like the wild west. Enough said. Think riding horses, saloons, outlaws and sheriffs. The evolutions would be close to hooved creatures, like goats, antelope, deer, rams, horses, things like satyrs and centaurs. Because of the harsh and vast amount of lands these elves need to travel, these evolutions save time and their feet as they traverse the difficult terrain.
The Wildlands Island
Chungus is a the barbarian, very strong and almost a gentle giant. I believe this island would be very much so like Vyncent's, but much harder to live in, in terms of monsters. I think Vyncent's island would have more difficult natural weather and disasters, while Chungus would face a lot more monsters and ruffians. Because of this, the elven evolution would be to match monsters strength a take form of large predator animals, like wolves, cougars, bears, and such, while Vyncent's island would only need to evolve to smaller predator animals for hunting, such as foxes and cats and such. (Chungus would be a bear.)
The Hellfire Island
Finally, Grayson. Grayson is described as having Dragon armor, so why not just go all the way and say the elven evolution is dragon-like. This island would be the hardest to live on, full of flames and lava, basically like a floating volcano. This island would be closest to the surface, and speaking of surface-
Surface
The idea of the surface is that it is basically hell. It's where the lich comes from, it's full of hell fire, screaming damned, zombies and undead and such. The closeness to the surface dictate how dangerous your island is. The position of your island means a lot.
From Top to Bottom
The Sunlight Island -Is reaping the rewards of lush wildlife, but has to deal with extreme weather, sun, and temperatures.
The Sunken Island -is practically unaffected by weather and monsters because they live mostly underwater. Very peaceful. Uninhabitable by people who are not native.
The Convergence Island -In the top middle. The monsters here are the people. Have to deal with extreme weather.
The Lush Island -Reaps the rewards of lush wildlife, has to deal with extreme weather and temperatures, as well as some monsters.
The Wildlands Island -Deals less with weather and temperature, but more with monsters.
The Badland Island -as we get closer to 'hell' basically, the weather get's dry-er and hot-er. There isn't extreme storms, but instead harsh constant heat. Has to deal with monsters, as well as elven criminals. Most intelligent monsters and criminals set up bases here. The largest landmass. (we can never truly escape Texas)
The Hellfire Island -A step up from 'hell'. Has to deal with monsters all day long. The people here are built from blood and spit, metal and nails. Life expectancy is short here, but the people take pride in being the first line of defense for the other islands, are often talented warriors who hunt monsters to allow the rest of the islands to prosper.
It's hard to get to island to island. Sometimes you can because of your adaptations, sometimes you can find a way to safely fall to a lower island. Sometimes you can find a mage who can transport you. It is more common to go down than up. That's why Vyncent's dad was so impressive.
Father Sol
Father Sol was the leader of the group. With this worldbuilding, I think it would be cool if he embarked on a mission to build a party that could defend against a brewing monster from the Surface, The Lich and his forces. So Father Sol went from island to island, searching for the most powerful person from each to make a party. This alone is a feat, for traversing islands is very difficult, most only go to one once in their lives, and most of the time it's a permeant move. You often don't return. It's no wonder The Greats are well known, doing something such as what they did, going from island to island, even without the stories of their deeds and just the feat of traveling islands alone is something to behold and would be talked and gossiped about until they were legends. But on top of that were the adventures they had on each island, of Father Sol having to earn the trust and respect of each powerful warrior for them to join the party. I can already image in the classic Dnd shenanigans, battles, and hero adventures they would have. And to have them fail at the very end.
And all of this we never get to see because it get's destroyed. By the very monsters The Greats gathered to fight against. They lost. They weren't strong enough.
Now. Imagine, Vyncent has to make a choice between staying between Prime and Fauna. He chooses Prime, for his friends. His life is there right now, that's what he tells himself. He can always go back. He has unfinished business on Prime.
What he doesn't say is the pain that is in his heart, looking at his home that once used to be lush and full of life, full of smiles and memories, destroyed. Seeing his people broken and torn by the worst possible thing that could have happened to them. To see his people go from living in community villages full of flowers and celebration to hiding underground like rats. It hurts. It's painful to look at all the despair and pain. Knowing that things probably wouldn't go back to normal, at least in his lifetime.
He's a coward when he stays in Prime. He's not strong enough to go back. He wishes he was. But he isn't.

I first started watching wrestling back at the beginning of the Attitude Era in WWE (then WWF). I saw the creation of Degeneration-X and all that. I saw the nWO in WCW. By about 1999, I faded out of watching it, but there was always a part of it that kept my interest. I always liked sometimes find out from friends how things were going.
Then, in 2014, I was reading through the site TVTropes, as one does, and I was reading stuff for pro wrestling. I was curious to know how things were going, since I had gotten so much further out of the loop. I remember, so distinctly, reading about this group called The Wyatt Family, and this guy named Bray Wyatt, and the way they had presented themselves. I was deeply interested. I saw some clips of their matches, and Bray's promos, and I felt the same interest in wrestling stir in me that I had as a child.
I started watching wrestling again for the first time in over a decade, because of Bray Wyatt.
I saw his character change in ways that I didn't always get, didn't always like, but I liked to see him. I liked his performances. The evolution of the character was interesting. Even though I had stopped actively watching WWE, I still sought out the Firefly Funhouse segments, and the debut of The Fiend was fantastic. You could really see his love of horror movies in that character.
I'll admit I didn't take a lot of time to see the most recent version of the character. But I loved the promos from his initial return. He still had whatever it was that caught my eye all those years ago.
Like when I found out about Brodie Lee passing, I'm just stunned, and sad. Brodie was another wrestler that I loved to watch, and another wrestler that I wanted to see succeed.
My heart goes out to Bray's family, and his friends.
I'll miss seeing him.

Sasha Banks is a once in a life time pro wrestler who was never treated like one.
WWE never understood what they had in Sasha Banks even when everyone else did. The women’s evolution doesn’t happen without her, plain and simple. She’s a generational selfless performer who never got back anywhere close to what she gave to wrestling.

United Empire vs. Bullet Club War Dogs (NJPW The New Beginning In Osaka 2024)
Akira, you don't need to scream all the time, we get it.
Tumblr media
I’m going to be brutally honest about this match. I wanted this match to succeed SO badly. I wanted this match to make me understand why people seemingly love Will Ospreay so much and consider him the best wrestler in the world. I wanted this match to show me what I was missing all these years. But what I got in exchange for sitting on my chair and watching this with care and love is the worst best trainwreck I have seen in my entire life.
If you didn’t realize by now: I don’t like Will Ospreay. I used to like him when he was this fiery Junior wrestler because I learned to let things slide and excuse some of his blatant flaws because of the style he wrestled: And how many Junior wrestlers tend to be absolute trainwrecks in the good sense of the word for the sake of spectacle. The thing is that Ospreay is no longer a Junior wrestler, and because of that his style never seems to connect with me as other wrestlers would do. I think it has to do with the fact that after seeing a shit ton of Ospreay matches I kinda have learned everything he brings to the table, therefore, I sit and see the minuscule details that simply blow away his house of cards in every match.
This is not an exception.
If you love pro wrestling as I do, you’re willing to sit through 2 HOURS to watch this match and embrace it with all its flaws and mistakes. I guess it’s kind of a curse that we wrestling fans have when we engage in whatever appears on our screens. I’m kinda responsible for this that I’m writing, because I sat and watched the whole thing. And the thing is that this match simply fails to sell me its premise. Not only because of the awful cage (seriously) but because of other obvious details that simply can’t be ignored. Or do you want me to believe that Gedo can’t just throw the table over the cage considering how small it actually is? Do you want me to sit here and pretend Ospreay and Newman doing a double Oscutter after an hour of the most dangerous shit you could ever imagine is actually good?
The worst type of wrestlers are the ones that seemingly don’t understand what is the story they’re telling because you don’t want to insult them or hate them. You just feel bad for them because you know as a consumer what they’re trying to evoke, but they fail and they continue failing every time they step in the ring. Ospreay to me is one of those wrestlers. I respect the guy, I respect the effort he puts into every single match and I acknowledge the inhuman skill needed to pull off some of the things he does, BUT, with these matches, I don’t see a glimpse of evolution from the guy that practically ruined classic matches because of the things he pulls in this one. Or do you want me to pretend Ospreay vs. Oku 2 is actually good without taking into consideration its incelcore at its best?
On the surface, this match is a carnage that sees wrestlers like Gabe Kidd and TJP shine under their own merit (I can’t believe I’m writing this) But at its core, this match fails to sell you the premise it presents, and it’s really sad because you see all the guys in this match were willing to do absolutely everything for it to work, but it simply doesn’t. For fuck’s sake, the protagonists of this match, Ospreay and Finlay, simply can’t keep up with the action and can’t establish themselves as the guys you need to care for. And like, this is not any match for Ospreay. It’s his last match with the company, and for the most part of this affair the one that hypes up the crowd more than any other wrestler is Francesco Akira, who, through fiery comebacks over and over again seems to win the heart of Osaka.
This is a bad match, but you can’t say it like that because you feel like shit considering the pain all these 10 guys went through. I don’t know if you can call it constructive criticism or what, but the more that I write about this match the more that I yearn for another chance in the future for these 10 guys to show what they can truly bring to the table when some of their most blatant flaws are corrected. Because even the good things about this match, for some reason, become awful through the course of it. You know how I said Akira’s comebacks were fiery and all? I would have loved him to do just ONE comeback, but he comes back all the time and it loses its charm completely when you see every member of the BC War Dogs just cooking this pure guy like his name is Shunma. And don’t get me wrong, Akira grabbing the fork was a cool moment and it got the crowd hyped for the last minutes of this match: But then, the last minutes of this match were dreadful.
Overall, this match can be fantastic, but it’s not. If you want to see a match that highlights Ospreay’s flaws not only as a wrestler but as a storyteller, this is the one. And I’m not going to talk about Finlay because Kidd eats him alive as the unsung Bullet Club leader.
