#wrestling promotions

[greed7-13]

The 2 shows to start out the month.

First up is ThrowBack Era Wrestling tomorrow at Cafe Santa Rosa! I'm not quite sure who I'll face, but I have been cleared for action after Will Kennedy not only embarrassed me by cheating to win but also broke a few teeth that required surgery. Now he has my jacket and I will fight tooth and nail to get it back, no matter who I have to go through in the process.

Next up is High Impact Wrestling (HIW) on June 11th at The Splinter Collective where I face off against the bossman of H.I.W himself, Ricky Flash, for the H.I.W Tucson City Championship. This will be the second title I've gone after and this time I will not let it slip from my reach!

I read that Sonny Kiss was released from AEW while I was at the grocery store and I felt like crying. I just want her to succeed and be appreciated not be treated like a token to bring out for ally brownie points.

Ultimately, I hope this means that she signs with a company that values her and showcases her talents in their entirety. I truly wish her all the best and can't wait to see her wrestling again.

#i know that she recently wrestled but i mean in a more mainstream promotion. my baby is a star goddamit #sonny kiss #tony khan you will never know peace #aew #all elite wrestling #wrestling #wrasslin #text post

okay i still think about wembley all of the time, but like, they OBVIOUSLY had so many storylines set up that were hastily scrapped because of injury. hayter, saraya, pac, nigel vs bryan. they just keep fucking over their biggest events and culmination of storylines because they can't keep their roster safe, and they can't write long-running stories with pay-offs months away because with this track record they Know people will be injured by then. not to mention all of the workhorses that shoulder the belts for a week or two just to drop it to someone "important", needing to cover for everyone who's injured over and over. the way they'll give the belt to someone for a cheap pop not caring that it fucks up most ongoing storylines, and then resort to them dropping the belt immediately afterward. it's insane to me that they don't do more about it because at this point it's actively hurting business - why get invested in the set-up of a new story, why buy tickets to the biggest event of the year, when it'll fizzle out like the outcasts, the devil and literally everything else

#card subject to change on steroids #how do you not keep you talent safe ahead of an event that big where you've clearly set up several matches unique to the venue #why should i spend fuck off money to attend an event where not even the promotion putting it on knows the card #aew saying 'trust us it'll be great our best shows have the worst builds' like no #maybe make an effort to create a consistent product that i can trust to keep the talent i like safe #even more insane to be that collision during those first months basically suits this style of booking #yeah we have some themes some beef some promos but it's mostly wrestling #super easy to change things around without it feeling like a shallow plan b to the audience #and instead they went ew no this should also be dynamite and then they lost that as well

いつかきっと全部手に入れる、私はそう欲張りなアイドル！

On the subject of silly little experiments, here’s another one! I still struggle with foreshortening and painting so I don’t think this turned out perfectly, but it gets across what I was going for. I don’t watch tv very often anymore but I ended up watching Oshi no Ko because I got super obsessed with Idol and the plot intrigued me, and aside from one major caveat I actually really enjoyed it! Hoshino Ai, you’re a real one ＊

#art #digital #oshi no ko #hoshino ai #*objectively untrue by a couple metrics #for those curious the caveat is that I was not satisfied with the amount/way in which they wrestle with the issue of what does and does not #constitute acceptable romantic/sexual attraction in the cololicated situation the characters find themselves in #but if you can get past that and can handle how dark it gets (which for some reason the only comparison I can come up with for how dark it #gets is doki doki literature club of all things) then it’s a fun time #I really liked all the female characters which is unusual for me when it comes to anime! #also idk why everyone draws Ai in that other outfit from that one promotional render (and I think the cover of the first manga chapter?) #she never wears that one in the show and I like this one wayyyyyy better #*complicated situation; not going back to fix that #Oh for anyone curious in English the Japanese lyrics I used for the link are something like #Someday I will surely take everything in my hands; looks like I’m a greedy idol!

few things are as touching as the appreciation hardworking, heartfelt, passionate, dedicated young people express when you support them. sometimes this appreciation is shown by those young people sending you unedited footage of their professional wrestling ambulance matches and it fucking rules.

#[ whispers ] #mango brought to my attention a ugandan pro wrestling promotion fundraising for their first wrestling ring and i decided to reach out #to them because i made a post raising awareness on my wrestling sideblog. they asked me to record a video saying hello to a young lady #wrestler of theirs i said i'm a fan of. so she can record a video saying hello back to me! and then sent me exclusive footage of a match! #i cannot stress this enough: reach out to dreamers. reach out to the people making their dreams reality. to artists and musicians and #writers and people blogging about their cultures' food and their daily lived experiences and dedicating their lives to community outreach #and harm reduction and activism and rescuing animals and raising awareness. tell the people making what you love that you love it and #admire their hard work. thank the person bagging your groceries and driving your bus with a big smile. tell the makeup artist standing with #palestine openly what that means to you. one of my favourite authors is on tumblr and i'm reaching out to her after i read her new book that #just published. one of my friends became a well known poet in pakistan because a group of us all sent CDs of our spoken word poetry to each #other and made all of our friends listen. i'm friends with youtubers because i've been vocally supporting their videos since pre-YT or early #into their channels and have met up with some of them to hang out and talk shop. don't just cheer people on silently! let them know! #long post #sorry. overcome by my simple love for humanity in the midst of unfathomably dark times. it will happen again

The way I've always seen Kenny come off as a drug for Okada after their first singles match. Like man got addicted to this very particular, super crazy high that he can't get from anyone else so he's got to have more but also it's that premium gourmet stuff so he uses it sparsely lest the affect starts decreasing. Denying himself as much as possible and only giving in to his cravings once the itch becomes too much to ignore.

Funny how The Young Bucks, from what I've gathered as a casual fan, have always incorporated comedy in their wrestling or have not shunned the less than serious aspects of wrestling, and because of this people have taken to disparaging them, their gimmick and their show 'Being The Elite'. Despite their wrestling, their gimmick AND their show being immensely popular and clearly enjoyed by a multitude of people The Bucks are still discounted as performers and told to grow past the comedy act and be "real wrestlers" (which in this sport is an oxymoron but I'ma let it rock). So, for not the first time, they're turning heel. What does this entail? Infighting with their closest friend, darker gear, and no more BTE.

But now, folks are in the comments of BTE, on twitter, forums, and blog posts lamenting the unceremonious ending of 'Being The Elite' as if they had no part in this decision. Kayfabe or not, it had to be frustrating to do what you've done for the last twenty years, see it get recognition and then have that recognition turn to ashes in your mouth because every little booking decision that doesn't go the way that fans want ends up being your fault. So then you're special thing, which you've been doing for your entire life gets eroded by this perception of yourselves Super Evil Ultranarcassist Bookers that you cannot shake no matter what. Someone gets fired, you get booed. Someone gets injured and pulled from a match, you get booed. One of your (former) members refuses to put himself over and...you/he gets booed. Eventually, I'd get tired of it. I'd get tired of people claiming that they HAVE to watch my silly little YouTube show in order to understand the storylines of wrestlers who aren't even ON the show and very rarely ever have been, or of people claiming I'm booking myself as a champion when my win-loss record in the company I co-founded says otherwise. I'd be absolutely exhausted at those same people being disappointed in my win-loss record and almost daring me to use my power to book myself and my comrades better but I know if I do this then I will earn the ire of these discerning fans so I keep losing to be safe. I double down: cancel BTE, no official statements, no ending episode, just a tweet from a known associate going ,"Yeah they said they good on that shit fr fr...they might talk about it later idk".

It's likely because I can be a very spiteful person at times but even if this is all a work, I support The Young Bucks in taking a step back from BTE and any other extracurricular thing they do to connect with their fans and further their stories. No more Being The Elite until yall appreciate what it is and what it's done for the company.

#the young bucks #the elite #being the elite #aew #all elite wrestling #Ima say it again All ELITE wrestling fym. Leave these dudes alone bro they can't please everyone. Also theyre busy. #we're lucky bte even kept going past 2020 because its not like their lives arent hella busy. too busy to keep up with a long running sketch #series that at this point has to be a 3rd job for them as EVPs AND active wrestlers in AEW #like i said I'm no Elite mark and casually enjoy each of them but i also see how theyre discussed online #and how that carries over to the shows as well. Wrestling fans take their proximity and the respect for their collective voice granted #and it shows when wrestlers who for all intents and purposes have not had any major controversies other than over utilizing the Superkick #are treated like a plague. How tf are they killing the business when they helped to innovate it?? You think other promotions started #improving in a vacuum?! No! the threat of a small lil can do company with some fresh talent scared the shit outta US based wrestling promos #Because of who??? The Elite. The Young Bucks. Kenny Omega. Cody Rhodes. Chris Jericovid and Tony Spawn. #wrestling #wrasslin #text post #anyway rant over but don't complain about something until it literally is driven from existence by your complaints and then complain about #its lack of existence. #For the record: what got me MORE into AEW was being able to go back and literally see the company essentially start on BTE. I still haven #t watched from the beginning because holy shit no but I did start right at the first All In more or less. I could see how hungry and passion #ate they all were. Then I watched Double or Nothing (because I'm a Mox mark through and through) and I felt in on the joke yknow? This was #just a couple of dudes who really love wrestling being given the chance to put their money where their mouth is and start something new. We #all got to and still can see that happen from scratch. On BTE.
