You haven’t seen Boba Fett in days.

Called away on business you’ll never be included in or know the fine details about. It’s not kept away from you because he doesn’t trust you, or thinks you’re a mindless idiot—no—he’d rather keep his princess occupied with prettier things. No need to concern yourself with the the underbelly of what he now rules.

You’re not upset about it—you’re not really a fan of watching petty squabbles that’ll result in someone’s chest being imploded by a blaster. You’ve seen enough of it in the cantina, and while you were never the one tasked with clearing the bodies out—it was still mildly traumatizing. Eh—no need to dwell.

You’ve got other shit to do anyway.

There’s a seemingly endless zigzag of secret hallways and dusty rooms within the palace, teeming with strange knickknacks and ancient artifacts that are more than likely cursed. Definitely haunted—but it doesn’t stop you from exploring or sorting through the useless junk. Besides—Fennec stayed behind, acting as your glorified babysitter for the past few cycles—ensuring your safety from both whoever dared step foot into the palace and the ghosts. What a lovely woman.

Speaking of which—you hear her sigh and shuffle, shifting her weight onto her other foot as she leans back against a dusty crate. She picks at the dirt beneath her fingernails, lazily glancing up every now and then to check that you haven’t eviscerated yourself on a piece of scrap metal or something. Lucky for her, all you found today was an abandoned crate of old datapacs shoved in the back corner from what you assumed to be some sort of office. Yesterday you found a sword that was promptly confiscated.

“I’d be careful snooping around in those,” Fennec warns as your fingers find the on switch. “You never know what sorta data the Hutts were keeping here.”

You shrug and wave away her concern, reading over the information that flickers across the screen. “I think I’ll be ok…See?” You pointedly wave the datapac in her direction. “This one is about the finances. Spooky.”

Fennec rolls her eyes followed by an amused smirk that ghosts over her lips. You toss it aside and root around some more, pulling out another datapac. The blue hologram flickers to life and as you decipher the little lines of text your face falls. Each line is a name, previous and recently bought or traded people that crossed the threshold of the palace. Fennec was right. This isn’t fun anymore.

“These are…slaves.” Your lips curls in disgust. “How is this still not outlawed? It’s barbaric.”

“You’re not from Tatooine, are you?” Fennec asks as she meanders over and wrestles the datapac out of your hands. She switches it off and tosses it back into the dusty crate. You huff and cross your arms over your chest.

“No,” you agree. “Im from Arkanis. But even there we don’t have slaves.”

Fennec squats beside you, her elbows resting over her bent knees. She playfully taps your shoulder with the back of her hand and quirks a brow. “What’d I tell you—snooping doesn’t do anyone any good.”

You roll your eyes and shrug, a frown still etched on your lips. Fennec sighs, rubs her chin and then reaches out to push a stray hair behind your ear. A flush blooms up your cheeks at the gentle touch.

“You have a sensitive soul, Kitten,” she chuckles, poking at your cheek that you’re certain she can feel the heat emirate from. “You said you were from Arkanis—tell me about it. Why come to Tatooine?”

Your lips quirk in a tiny smile as you bat away her pointer finger, saving your cheek from another poke. “Hey—not everyone likes rain ok?” You huff. “Besides, Tatooine wasn’t supposed to be permanent.”

She nods. Unsure what exactly to tell her--a silence ensues. It’s not terribly awkward but it’s enough that makes you jumpy and itching to move on from this room now stained with information you weren’t prepared on finding. You stand suddenly, brush yourself off and mutter under your breath about finding something less…heartbreaking.

Fennec jumps up as well and when you leave the room her hand clamps over your shoulder. She spins you around and levels her gaze onto you. “You’re free to leave whenever you like. You know that right?”

Your brows furrow. “I know—don’t worry, I want to stay.”

Her head bobs with a satisfied nod. “We’d miss you if you left. You’re nice to have around.”

You blush again and mumble out a thank you, shooting off into another unexplored location to escape Fennec’s knowing smirk. Maker—you’re embarrassing.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Boba returns later that afternoon—the shadow of his familiar figure stretches around the curved stairway, the purposeful stomps of his boots against the carved steps following with it. Your heart flutters within your chest, like a distressed creature with wings as you jump from your makeshift seat.

You come face to face with Boba. Or, helmet rather—whatever.

The smell of hot metal and dry air sticks to him as he paces closer, closing the small gap that separates him from you. You’re frozen beneath the heavy weight of his stare behind the void like black of his visor as he plants himself firmly before you, close enough that his cuirass could brush your chest if he puffed out his own chest.

“Hi…” You smile, a fragile vale of uncertainty blanketing the pair of you—still attempting to feel out his mood, sort through the general gruffness of his personality and gage wether or not you could reach out and touch him. The helmet is a tricky thing to read and his body language gives nothing away. You swallow your nerves take a leaping risk.

“Let me see your face.” You murmur. You move your hands up to the edges of his helmet at a snail’s pace, giving him ample time to slip through your fingers—wedge a sharp thorn between whatever it is that you’ve built and name it for what it is.

He doesn’t choose that option.

With a low hum, Boba dips his helmet closer to your outstretched fingertips instead. The metal is cool under your palms as they fold over the sides of the helmet and pull up. The metal whispers against his skin like wind through tall grass as the point of his chin peeks out, followed by his lips, his nose, and finally those golden brown eyes. They glitter with amusement as you release a shaky breath, the helmet the only thing acting as a barrier as you clutch it near your sternum. His mouth quirks when you blush and glance away—focusing on the little silvery nicks the green paint refused to cover. You rub your thumb over the blaster pockmark that dents the metal—you frown. You hope that wasn’t recent.

Boba gently pries the helmet out of your hands and sets it onto the armrest of his throne. He purrs your name and pinches your chin between his forefinger and thumb, leading your attention back to him. Your eyes flit up his scars—your breath catching in your throat as he smiles.

“Hello, princess,” he says—the grit and timbre of this new nickname jumpstarting your heart to skip and choke on its own tireless beat.

You roll your bottom lip between your teeth and shake your head. “Boba, I’m not—“

He doesn’t let you finish your sentence—

Boba spreads his fingers over your jaw, tilts your head and swoops down to meet your lips in a dizzying kiss. Hard, hungry, victorious, breathless—like he’s spent years fighting and only now takes a moment to slow down—drown in the softness of your lips and skin. His hands claw at your arms, your clothes, your hair—like you’re the spoils of battle and he fears losing you to the shadows of his past and some hidden horror that nips at his heels. He kisses like a man terrified that this will be brief, intangible and something that’ll abandon him.

He trails after your lips when you break away—your lungs heaving for precious air. He doesn’t let you go far, ensuring your positioning by tangling his fist into your hair at the nape of your neck and scraping his lips up your cheek, enticing you into another kiss. You tilt you chin to meet him with equal fervor, whining as his warm tongue curls sweetly into your mouth. His existence fills your veins with liquid silver—evokes the bloom of crackling star fire beneath the cavity of your ribcage. Every thought starts with him and ends with your heart aching to burst into a million tiny shards.

The next time you part, Boba is the first one to pull away. He cups your cheeks between his weathered hands and plants a tender kiss just below your hairline. You swear you can feel the skin buzz from the touch—like every atom in your being was solely created for him to command and conquer. You sigh and lean into his palm.

“I missed you.” You admit with a small smile.

Boba leans closer and presses another kiss to your forehead. “And I you, little one.”

“I got worried, y’know,” you continue, your fingers tapping a trail up the front of his chest plate. You trace the repainted insignia with your fingernail and flash him a coy smirk. “You never called—thought maybe you found a new pretty thing.”

He grunts, shakes his head and sweeps a rogue strand of hair behind your ear. “Hilarious—my hands are full enough with you hounding me every five minutes.”

You puff out your bottom lip and feign offense, mumbling some lame whine like a petulant brat. Boba snorts and crowds closer. He presses his gloved thumb between your furrowed brows, smoothing out the wrinkles and then cups your cheeks between both palms. You freeze as he carefully knocks the crown of his forehead onto yours—it’s sweet.

An excited smile splits when he moves his head to your right, the syllables of each word rolling off his tongue sweeter than spiced honey. “I’ll make it up to you, pretty thing,” he whispers by your ear, his warm breath disturbing the fine hairs there. “How does that sound, hm?”

That’s not even a question you would ever dream of denying—you quickly nod. “I’d like that.”

Boba drops his hands from your face and peels himself away. His eyes trickle down your figure—calculative and analytic—planning out each move to pick apart the entirety of your being. “Take everything off.”

You comply without a second thought—slipping free from the breezy cotton and scratchy poncho you stole from a storage room. The fabric pools at your feet in an unceremonious pile—leaving you bare for him. Despite the sickening dry heat that pollutes the air and causes beads of sweat to gather at your hairline—goosebumps rush up your arms under Boba’s piercing stare.

Boba’s eyes flicker to the throne. A feral grin tugs at his lips. “Sit.”

This time you hesitate. Did he…? No—you must’ve heard wrong—

He quirks a brow and gestures to the throne. “Well? Are you going to listen?”

Your tongue slides over your chapped lips. “O-ok..I just—never mind…”

Scrounging up some courage, you gingerly seat yourself onto Boba Fett’s throne. Chills race along the entirety of your body as the freezing metal seeps into your warm flesh. You squirm and beat away the urge to wrap your arms around yourself—he wouldn’t like that—probably would take it as some sort of insult anyway—

All your current discomforts melt away in a fraction of a breath as Boba Fett lowers himself to one knee, and then the other. A king kneeling before his very own throne for someone like you. Someone who’ll be lost to the pages of history and the endless swirl of galaxies and supernovas—you’re nobody to the world, but to him you’re everything. You inhale a shaky breath as a strange stroke of pride alights through your body as he peels off his gloves and maneuvers himself flush against the edge of the throne and between your thighs.

Boba bows forward and slips his calloused hands around your ribcage to tug you closer. His lips land over your collar bone, slides his tongue over the protrusion then sinks his teeth into you there. You gasp as he slides lower, leading a trail of bruises and teeth marks in his wake. Boba moves his palms, up and in to grab at your breasts, the flats of his fingertips rolling over your nipples. A whimper escapes past your lips as he catches the pebbled bud between his lips, the hard enamel of his teeth scraping over it—meant to tease. Your nails dig into the fabric bunched around his neck as he moves on to suck your other nipple, the cooling saliva sending a chill down your spine as it dries.

You squirm, unable close your legs or to relieve some of that burning tension collecting in your core. You’re already wet—worked up and impatient. You roll your head back onto your shoulders and bite your lip. If you complain and tell him to hurry up you’re scared he’ll leave you like this—deny you that pleasure you’ve been craving for days.

It feels like ages before he moves on from your breasts, now smattered with bruises and his saliva, and carves out a blinding path down your sternum, your belly, then your navel with his tongue. Boba circles your bellybutton—you force down the ticklish nerves and stay still for him.

You don't mean to jump as his rough hands drop over your knees. You barely get out the first syllable of an apology when his hands slip up your bare thighs, curl around the swell of your ass and yank. You squeak as the edge of the throne bites into your tailbone, the majority of your lower half forced to lean on Boba’s shoulders and his greedy hands. He kisses the inside of your knee—you jolt with an airy gasp.

Boba picks up his head and smirks. “Look at me when I taste you, little one.”

Mouth suddenly drier than dust, you nod dumbly.

He hums, satisfied with your weak response and continues on.

Boba’s bare fingers trace minuscule patterns into the sensitive skin of your inner thighs, coaxing out a shiver. They sweep up towards the apex of your thighs, settling close enough to reach your aching center. You know he’s there—it’s impossible to ignore him—but you curse anyway when you feel his thumbs softly part the lips of your soaking cunt. They steadily work up and down, smearing your wetness around but never enough to give you any friction. You bite back a groan as your hips unconsciously twitch.

“Patience, princess,” he rumbles, shifting his weight to better reach your cunt. “Maker—you’re dripping already.”

There's a moment just before Boba commits, his face hovering close enough that you can feel his sticky, hot breath, anticipation gripping your chest. And then he licks a broad stripe from the base of your pussy all the way up to your swollen clit.

His mouth Is searing, his tongue like liquid velvet as you shudder and grab at his head. He grunts against you as you drag him closer—greedy for everything he deems you worthy of. Boba’s mouth pinpoints around your clit, sucking and tracing circles over the bundle of nerves with the tip of his tongue. Your eyes flutter—it’s a struggle not to shut them completely. He asked you to watch after all…

He then trails lower, sucks on your labia, and makes his way down to your entrance. The wet heat of his tongue circles your entrance, skips over it completely to lick at the wetness dripping lower that threatens to pool onto the throne or the floor. He opens his mouth wide and hums in appreciation, devouring your pussy like he’s been denied this his entire life.

“Fuck—Boba,” you cry, canting your hips into his mouth.

It's perfect. So fucking good.

The tips of his thick fingers, two of them, press at your entrance, teasing the fluttering ring of soft muscle before sinking in. The two digits slip in with ease—all the way up to the second knuckle and when he draws them back, they're slick with your wetness, glinting in the low light. With a smirk, Boba thrusts them back in, then out—setting a steady pace that he refuses to stray from. It leaves you just hovering along the sharp edge of oblivion, the catch of his knuckles and calloused skin along your walls pure torture. Stars—he’s going to be the death of you—

Your hips arch into him, trying to urge him to go faster. Instead, he slowly retracts his fingers and removes his mouth. You gasp in frustration as your cunt clenches around thin air. It almost hurts.

“I told you to be patient,” Boba chuckles, massaging a warm palm along the outside of your thigh. “You’re behaving like a brat.”

“I’m—I—I’m sorry—“ You wheeze, trying to rope in some self control that fled a long time ago. Your wits are scrapped thin as you throw your hand against the back of the throne. You don’t care that he’s rendered you to a begging mess, your words slurred and hardly understandable. You're so close to diving off the edge—so near to those plush lips and weathered hands that’ll surely become your salvation. "Please! P-please—I need..."

You're babbling as he drags his fingertips over your thigh, skims over your cunt, and traces a pattern into your opposite thigh. "Boba. Fuck. I pro-promise to be better—I can do it. Please—“

He complies.

Two fingers are thrust up into your dripping cunt, curving so deliciously into something that feels like unrefined plasma bolts. His mouth dips down and sucks on your clit and with a few more curls and thrusts of his fingers inside of your clenching walls, your body seizes up tight.

You're flying off you’re high, faster than a fucking speeder with tampered gears. You cum onto his tongue with a strangled cry of his name, sparks of blurry white lining the edges of your vision as your back arches. Boba keeps licking you through your orgasm, even as you buck and squirm in his iron hold. Stars implode behind your eyelids as heat, hotter than wildfire and jetfuel spreads from your center all the way up your stomach and down to your toes. You're shaking, lucid enough to hear Boba, and feel the vibration of his groan, as he licks up the flood of your wetness over his tongue.

Your brain swims in hazy bliss and fuzzy pleasure as you float back to reality. He's still curling his fingers into your pussy and it hurts. You're too sensitive. Your nerves are rubbed raw and you're still throbbing—but you're too fucked out and still riding the waves of your orgasm to push him away. He takes this opportunity to tilt his fingers into your cunt faster, suckle and lave his tongue over your clit that burns from overstimulation—somehow you're back at the very edge again.

It's sharper than a blade against flesh. Your thighs quiver around him as he twists his fingers inside you and bumps agains that tiny, little patch of nerves that wrenches a cry from you. Your orgasm floods through you veins, bursting and rupturing every cell in your being. This one is blistering—charrs all the way to the fucking bone. Your core pulses around Boba’s fingers, fucking you through it until those burning waves of release eventually cease into a dull throb. You whimper and push at his forehead because he's still licking at your cunt. You panic a bit—fucking hell, he’s gonna make you cry—but he pulls away, his mouth and chin wet with your slick.

Boba leaves absolutely no time to completely float down from your high—you squeak as his hands shoot up to grab at your hips, wrenching you off the throne and all but throwing you onto the same floor he kneels on. You flash him a dopey grin, letting your legs fall open for his enjoyment—

“Such a filthy princess,” he chuckles, extending a hand to cover your knee, bending it further out to expose more of your flushed cunt. “You taste sweeter than star cherries.”

You preen at his compliment. “You’re not so bad yourself.”

It earns you an amused huff. Boba scrapes the hand resting on your knee to the apex of your legs, thumb and forefinger gently parting your delicate, slick folds. You bite back a keening whine, utterly exposed to him as he slips the hood back from the throbbing knot of nerves at the top of your slit. Too raw. Your pussy clenches involuntarily, causing everything from your toes to your hips stiffen. Boba hums in delight at his handiwork.

“Stars, Boba—please…” You beg, voice breathy and soft like whips of spider silk. Boba makes a sound that oozes with smug pleasure, teasing your sore clit with unadulterated glee. “Please,” you hear yourself whimper over your pounding pulse, shifting in his grasp and praying he’ll put an end to this sickly sweet torture.

“Pretty little thing, begging for my cock…” He rasps, darkly threaded sin and the husky scrape of the gray sea licking up jagged, black rock. You’re certain he could talk you into unraveling at the seams, untouched and putty in his hands for him to mold and shape. Boba’s other hand sweeps up your sternum, his fingertips dancing along the mythosaur pendant coiled around your neck. He then curls his thick fingers around the base of your throat and ever so lightly squeezes. “Poor baby—all worked up after a few days…I’ll fix that for you.”

Before you can fully process, he grabs the swell of your hip and flips you onto your belly. The air from your lungs is knocked out of your chest, the abrasive sandstone bitting into the points of your elbows and patches of your skin and no doubt leaving behind irritated scrapes. You hear the shuffle of fabric and then Boba suddenly seizes your hips and arches them into his crotch, grinding the deliciously hard length of his cock through your wet folds. Throbbing and just as desperate as you are, Boba refrains from flinging you into another bout of teasing. He slicks himself up with your arousal and drags the tip of himself to your clenching center and sinks that first, glorious inch inside of you.

With a low groan, Boba pushes in deeper, watching your tight hold flutter and accommodate his thick length. It’s the same as before during that night in the cantina—dreadfully full and all but bursting at the seems. The gentle rocks of his hips and gravelly praise eventually allow him to finally bottom out, his sharp hipbones resting against the swell of your ass as you shudder and groan. Fuck—

You can feel him in your fucking guts.

Boba grants you a brief moment to settle and then—it’s catastrophic.

Your jaw drops in a silent scream when he pulls back, all the way to the tip and slams back into your tight heat. Boba’s hand tangles into your hair at the nape of your neck and and pulls, forcing your back into a sharp arch. The action leaves more of you open, somehow pressing in even further. He hits so deeply within you—stars it feels like he’s splitting you open and laying you bare.

His dark chuckle resonates above you—a bit breathy as he tames his own frazzled nerves. “Shit—that feels good. Doesn’t it, princess?”

Your incoherent babble makes him laugh as he gives your hair a playful tug, all the while he never stops thrusting in and out of you. You wiggle your hips, the slight shift makes it ache, and the sharp downward thrusts put delirious pressure on that patch of nerves that renders you dizzy. Every muscle in your body feels like it’s a tightly spooled cable, fraying and an inch away from snapping. Your gasping breaths pitch into airy squeaks as the fist twisted in your hair tightens, tugging your head back just a bit more.

Boba lurches foreword, the nip of beskar a frigid shock to the bare skin of your back when he lays over you, his elbows caging you in close. His head drops onto your shoulder blade, pressing sloppy kisses over the arch of your throat and slope of your shoulder—without warning he sinks his teeth into the juncture of your neck. Maker save you—

The feral drag of Boba’s teeth digging into your sensitive flesh skin makes you squeeze around his cock—Boba answers with a soft growl that vibrates against the skin of your shoulder. Somehow he fucks into you harder, his pace becoming brutal. Your nails scrabble against the floor, searching for some sort of anchor as you wail under him.

It’s too much—fuck, you’re gonna implode. Pinned between the rough sandstone and the hand in in your hair, mixed with the sharp pain of his teeth marring your skin—you loose it. Sensing your peaking orgasm, Boba’s fingers wedge between your legs to toy with your clit. He rubs quick circles with two fingers as he purrs words of filth into your ear—how good his pretty thing is for him, how well you came for him, how tight you are.

“There you go, little one,” Boba says, his words like a tendril of dark smoke. “Cum for your king.”

His efforts are quickly rewarded as you shudder and lock up harder than durasteel beneath him. A blinding surge of vicious heat, knocks you clean off your feet and steals away all the air left in your lungs as your nails dig into the sandstone—trembling and grappling blindly for a foothold in your own head. The cold chest plate is a much needed anchor for the overwhelming intensity that threatens to drown you and bury you six fix under.

He bites down again when he cums, his hips digging into you with short, rough jabs. “Fuck—you take me so well.” You squirm, feeling his cock throb and spill into you, making the mess between your legs smear over your thighs. His thrusts stutter to a stop as he sighs deeply and pulls out, a mixture of his cum and your arousal spilling onto the floor. Boba huffs above you, drags a finger through your swollen folds and pushes it back inside of you. “Good girl.”

You shiver—reduced to a useless puddle with no intent from moving off the floor as Boba’s weight moves away. You could sleep here—that’s something completely plausible you think. Nice, warm dirt—

Boba purrs your name—the sound piquing your interest enough that you overcome the heaviness that’s settled in your body and move your head. He’s returned to his throne, cheeks a bit flushed and his chest rising and falling to recover precious air. You watch as Boba peels off his cuirass with practiced ease, and lays it with care onto the floor. He murmurs your name a second time and pats his lap, coaxing you off the floor.

You happily slither onto his thighs, exhausted and all too eager to be swept up into the warmth of his arms. He grunts as you tuck your head under his chin and cuddle into his chest, relishing the rough scrape of his palms folding over your shoulder and the outside of your thigh. His soft breaths tickle the top of your head paired with the quiet, but steady rhythm of his heart beating beneath your fingertips and ear pressed onto his sternum. Your eyes flutter shut and though a hushed silence falls over the room, there’s nothing to be said.

Boba tucks his nose into your hair and you smile, the slow speak of your heart unraveling into a lush garden of something new and brittle—like flakes of frost in the early morning sun. He’s more bruise than bleed nowadays—a wound closed then reopened and he promises nothing of a future beyond what you have in these moments. And yet—

You wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Character Intro: Hybris (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Atomic Blonde by Zeus, Menoetius, & Ares

The Blonde Bombshell by Hippolyta & Palaestra

Mother by Oizys & Momus

Age- 52 (immortal)

Location- Themyscira, Olympius

Personality- She has a HUGE ego & is generally quite brash, unfriendly, and antisocial towards most people. She embraces her vanity and overabundance of confidence, thriving on violence & being a good fighter. A few years after her divorce, she's greatly enjoying her singledom/freedom.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess. Being the goddess of insolence, hubris, violence, reckless pride, arrogance and outrageous behavior in general, her abilities include limited odikinesis, inducing someone to act recklessly for a time, inducing people & groups to start having arguments or fights, and she can even enter a superpowered state- nicknamed the "hubris state."

Hybris lives in an immensely sized Greek revival mansion in Themsicyra. There she has an extensive sword collection, some of them even being crafted by the blacksmithing cyclopes trio. She owns quite the number of pet chihuahuas, including her favorite, a boy named Demon. She's thinking about getting a pet dragon. She also owns an apartment at Bolt Towers in the Skyline neighborhood of New Olympus.

Her go-to drink is champagne & she also likes mimosas, champagne, rum & cokes, beer, classic martinis, spiked lemonade, and her daily peanut butter & banana protein smoothie.

She doesn't harbor any major ill will towards her ex-husband Harpocrates (god of silence & discretion). They haven't really spoken to each other since the divorce was finalized. Hybris greatly cares for her children, Momus (god of mockery, satire, & ridicule) and Oizys (goddess of anxiety, misery, & depression).

Not on purpose, Hybris is a bit closer to her son than she is to her daughter. She's surprisingly enjoying planning her daughter's upcoming wedding. Long before her husband and even during their marriage, she was in a passionate love affair with Polemos (god of the war cry).

Hybris has her own glamour doll collectible!

She loves movies that are jam packed with action, violence, & gore!

A favorite frozen treat of hers is lemon curd ice cream.

Hybris' go-to thing to get from The Bread Box is a meatball marinara sandwich.

In the pantheon, her best friend is Dyssebeia (goddess of ungodliness & impiety). She's also friends with Adikia (goddess of injustice & wrongdoing), Hysminai (goddess of fighting & combat), Clymene (Titaness of fame & renown), Aígli (goddess of glamour), Orthosia (goddess of wealth), Limos (goddess of starvation & famine), Dimósia (goddess of debate), Panigýri (goddess of festivals), Amechania (goddess of helplessness & want), Dione, Aplistos (god of avarice), Palaestra (goddess of wrestling), Atë (goddess of mischief, ruin, blind folly, delusion, & downfall of heroes), Kéfi (goddess of mirth), Enyo (goddess of war, destruction, bloodlust, & devastation), and Astrape (goddess of lightning). Hybris was the official mentor towards Alala (goddess of the war cry).

Outside the pantheon, Hybris also made friends with a few of the amazons like Hippolyta and her sisters Antiope & Melanippe. She's also friends with a few cyclopes & giants.

She doesn't know what to think about her future son-in-law Moros (god of doom).

Her main source of income comes from modeling for/endorses the brands Megaleio, Platinum Luminescence, and atelier fantaisie. For other work, Hybris trains stunt performers in the entertainment industry. She's also an "unofficial" official semi pro-wrestler, performing under the stage name "The Blonde Bombshell." Her finishing moves include the eclipse, backbreaker, & her personal favorite, the glam slam. Many of Hybris' wrestling outfits are designed by Euphrosyne (grace of joy). She's about to release her debut fragrance, Katharí Mataiodoxía. She also wants to get her idea of a reality TV show off the ground- The Real Goddesses of New Olympus.

In her free time Hybris loves working out (strength training & cardio), sword fighting, watching TV, gymnastics, volleyball, boxing, wrestling, basketball, going out clubbing, football (soccer), meal prepping, archery, & going to monster truck rallies.

Once she was a guest on her son's late night talk show The Agnostic Network. Hybris went on a nearly three minute long profanity laced rant directed towards Zeus. She was eventually escorted off the premises by security after getting into a physical altercation with one of the other guests on the show.

She has been trying to change for the better, even partaking in anger management classes hosted by Gaia (goddess of the earth).

Hybris recieved an ornate pair of brass knuckles made from Imperial Gold that also doubles as brooches from Kéfi.

Her favorite meals are stouvesti & pork chops with roasted garlic potatoes and green beans. She also likes chicken pot pie casserole, lemon-garlic kale salad, & lasagna.

"In this pantheon, I'm the wrecking ball!"

I removed some books today.

I think of myself as a minimalist, but that doesn’t happen to be true. I have acquired more books than I will ever read. They still sit, stacked and unreachable, in piles by the walls, two dozen books tall and sometimes two books deep.

I don’t think I know where they all came from. I think more came from online than from any physical store. I bought them from Abebooks, the sales search platform that Amazon owns now. Abebooks tell you the names of the sellers, but they seem unconnected to any real place.

From Better World Books. From Thrift Books and Bookbarn. From Silver Arch Books, Motor City Books, Free State Books, Sierra Nevada Books, Yankee Clipper Books, and the Atlanta Book Company. From Green Earth Books and Housing Works Books. From Goldstone Books and Powell’s Books and Kennys Bookshop and Art Galleries. From Satellite Books and the Orchard Bookshop. From Blue Cloud Books and Hippo Books and Wonder Book.

They’re from all over, from places you’ve never been, places you’ll never be. They’re names on a box. But then there are the books from more intimate places, intimately connected

From library’s old bookstore, which sold paperbacks for fifty cents, hardcovers for a dollar. From the basement of the old independent bookstore down on Front Street, where they sold remaindered and overstocked books marked down with red-orange tape. From the thrift store across the street, which charged too much.

From the Chapters at the mall in your hometown, or the Chapters and Indigo in the places you’ve been to, from the shelves of marked-down items where you looked for bargains, for the books you knew you should read, and all the books you never would. Places where you could drink sweet cream and coffee and pretend to read.

From the Borders in Syracuse, where you idled while the family went to the fair, where they always said they were going to build the largest mall in America, but never did. There was another Borders in South Florida, where they were stripping fixtures from the walls because the books had not sold, and so the Borders had to be. They still have bookstores. I’m not sure what they sell now. Postcards, I think.

The books still in my room had postcards from people I will never know, dedications to people I will never see, business cards from people who have moved on to other work. But their spines are unbroken, their pages unmarked. I guess I wanted them that way. I bought them like that.

I sometimes worried they would break through the floor. I would wake up to the collapse of everything I have ever owned as I plummeted a few short feet to my death. I guess it would probably take longer than that. I would have to wait for them to crush me. That mass of books would fall on me, blotting out the light. Crushed beneath nearly everything I have ever owned.

That’s what happened to the clerk Toshiko Sasaki in John Hershey’s Hiroshima, who was seated at her desk on August 6, 1945, in front of a couple of bookcases from the factor library:

Everything fell, and Miss Sasaki lost consciousness. The ceiling dropped suddenly and the wooden floor above collapsed in splinters and the people up there came down and the roof above them gave way; but principally and first of all, the bookcases right behind her swooped forward and the contents threw her down, with her left leg horribly twisted and breaking underneath her. There, in the tin factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books.

Miss Sasaki made out alright, although not so well as to not ask the question “If your God is so good and kind, how can he let people suffer like this?” But then, I have more books than she did.

I removed some books today. I still have more I want to remove. I just don’t have the boxes for them. I took the boxes I did have in the back of my car to a mass-market thrift store, where they will end up on the shelves by the leather jackets.

Perhaps they will end on some other shelf, like a postcard from somewhere unknown, in someone else’s memory. But I don’t think they will. I don’t think they’ll sell. There aren’t enough people here who spend money pretending to read.

I don’t know what will happen to them. I suppose they will pulp them. Or perhaps they will end in a landfill, crushed beneath their own weight, suffocating beneath the earth we have made for them until life reclaims them.

I wrote out a partial list of the books I threw out. I don’t know what it says about me. There’s a double significance here: These are books I bought, for some amount of money, but these are also books I am throwing away, because I asked the question the woman told me to ask, which was whether they sparked joy, and I answered no.

Those books in the photo are the books that have not yet been thrown away. Here, below the fold, are the books that have:

Thoughts on One-Punch Man Season 2: But what about the story?

Second part: So much for the structure, what was the effect?

Just before the second season started, I posted about what I hoped I’d see, assuming it ended where it did. Let’s see how they did.

Yup, I keep cutting the words, but the bastards keep multiplying

The Story Itself

What I’d hoped for:

There’s a lot less of the monster of the week situation, this series. I love the care with which the Monster Association goes about attacking. What looked like random stuff (egregiously stretched out by the tournament), will come together to be a coherent and potent threat that will leave us viewers desperate to find out how the Hero Association replies.

[…]

And at the end of this season, even though we’ve had a very interesting time of it, none of it will be over. The stakes will have been delineated, the battle lines drawn and I really hope that J.C. Staff does enough to make it clear why we should care enough to come back for season 3 whenever it airs.

What we got:

No question about it, there’s a Monster Association and it’s pretty serious. We got their ultimatum to the Hero Association and there’s no question that they’re taking it seriously. The problem comes with the overall lack of energy and urgency in the treatment of the plot. We’re missing bodies, broken buildings, landed punches, follow through, all the things that sell that sense of urgency, of a situation that’s threatening to spin out of all control. Which is a pity, because then we don’t get the sense of relief once the monsters disappear, only to be replaced with foreboding as the Monster Association makes its demands.

They really can’t use time as an excuse for that. It was really bad scripting with a tendency to soft-soap all impacts by panning away at critical moments. It’s a real shame when episode 7 (19) is named ‘Class S Heroes’ – the heavy cavalry whom should turn the tides of battle – and we see very little of how they work. The rare times they have followed through with blows, the entire mood of the episode changes for the better.

It’s interesting that when chapter 84 was released, it felt like an excellent season finale. And it could have been, but for the lack of a build up in tension and urgency that should have been sustained all season long. So many missed opportunities – like little scenes of Atomic Samurai going in person to Bang’s dojo only to find it locked, more scenes of Bang hunting increasingly desperately for Garou, a running tally of heroes struck down by Garou adding pressure to his search… all sorts of things the manga has left wide open to be added to that would have created continuity and tension against the backdrop of a crisis that really, really needs the help of *every* hero.

Special note: Can I just say that Phoenixman is awesome in his garishness? He looks like a children’s show mascot put together by people on the last day of a ten-day bender. Guaranteed to give children nightmares. I love him.

Don’t believe the monster, kids

The Characters

Charanko: I wasn’t expecting anything of him, so honourable mention to him. I absolutely love the small but important addition J.C. Staff made to his story, whereby he came across Garou, heard and saw all the heroes the latter was beating up, and, despite his fear and knowledge of his weakness, went forward anyway. Fantastic!

Death Gatling: I’d been afraid that they’d undersell him. He wasn’t and I was very, very happy to see that. He’s ever inch as serious, tactically astute, and legitimately charismatic as he needs to be. They could have made Flashy Flash slightly more obnoxious to bring across the extent to which he felt slighted but that’s minor.

Looking at how fans took him, I’ve been a bit disappointed in the number of fans who don’t get that he’s far from wrong both in seeking recognition (although he did pick the wrong target to make an example of), and for not believing Garou, but that’s not a critique of the way he’s been presented. The thorny issue of recognition is something I’ve been mooting a meta on, but another day!

Garou: What I’d hoped for

I want to see the story of how Garou grows from a malcontent and apparent crazy to this juggernaut whose appointment with destiny cannot be stopped.

What we got:

I’d say this was fulfilled! His luck and unstoppable destiny come across well. I really like his relationship with Tareo and with Bang being expanded on.

Fans definitely have taken Garou to heart with very few people neutral on him. I appreciate the fans who correctly point out that he’s incoherent and hurting heroes who have done nothing to him on account of the childhood trauma he’s projecting onto them. Like him or not, he’s definitely been given the space he needed and it’s going to be very interesting to see how people change their views of him as the anime continues.

King: What I’d hoped for

I want to see King be exposed as a fraud and a coward who runs from danger and leaves people to die, then redeem himself as a decent human being and become the fraud and coward who stands before danger so people might live. That’s huge – he’s been running like a rabbit for years.

What we got:

Fulfilled. I love how his relationship with Saitama unfolded, pretty much note perfect. The scene of his wiling himself to courage is great; it and the flashback JC Staff added linked back to to where he started out quite nicely.

Who doesn’t love King? I suspect he arm-wrestled Mumen Rider for fan favourite, particularly as he’s so very ordinary a man in a world of demi-gods.

Saitama: What I’d hoped for

We see Saitama finally make a friend, get resolution as to why the world ignores him, and get to celebrate his progress, even as we learn how deep his sense of alienation goes. I love how it’s going to start with Saitama walking away from his disciple and end with Saitama running for his disciple and how nothing else mattered until he saw him safe and well.

What we got:

Mostly fulfilled. His stasis and ongoing dissatisfaction with life come across excellently. His feeling ever more irrelevant and removed from the flow of life is literally and metaphorically on show, even as we get to witness the life-changing impact of his punches on others.

Folk missed Saitama sorely, which is as it should be. JCStaff, bless their lily-livers, really did miss a trick in not having Elder Centipede continue disintegrating for several seconds – after having been parched for Saitama, that ludicrous scene really helped.

Genos (why always you, my friend?): What I’d hoped for

Last series, we saw Genos try and lose, try and lose, try and lose, try and lose yet again. This season, from the very first episode to the very last, we watch that process of change from a failing hero to a truly fearsome one fit to rub shoulders with the best of heroes. I want to see how it thrills us, entertains us, breaks our hearts and maybe we dare to hope for even crazier heights in the future.

What we got:

Hm. Let me paraphrase Dr Bofoi here: ‘It takes a special sort of stupidity to mess up this badly’. This is worth unpacking a bit as when things go wrong, we often get a better opportunity to see what makes them work. And I’m always interested in what makes communicating ideas effective.

For once, let’s start with fan reactions. The actions Genos takes on the screen are pretty much the same as in the manga (a little abridged in places, but more or less the same). After manga chapter 84, you got reactions like this: ‘ Genos from now on to me will no longer be a joke. He’s earned my respect.’ ‘…if he still had a human body, he’d have broken his limiter by now…’, ‘he really stepped up’, etc. After episode 12: it’s ‘oh, everyone can beat Genos’ 'he’s like a princess in distress’ 'he’s lucky that Garou wasn’t at full health’… ‘…that man has felt useless since when he first met Saitama during the mosquito fight…’

Manga readers are less scathing than anime only viewers, but they have the benefit of the manga and aren’t reacting to what’s actually presented on screen. Where the anime has made the case for Genos being awesome, as it did in episode 11 (23), fan reactions followed appropriately.

Interesting. How the hell did JC Staff create the diametric opposite reaction of the one Murata and ONE had elicited? Particularly when they made a decent fist of the other characters?

From the beginning, I’d worried most about Genos – the clumsy, lifeless sequences we saw of him in the PV inspired no confidence. With Genos both opening and closing out the season, they really needed to get him right to set the correct tone and leave the right taste in the audiences’ mouths. JCStaff have struggled most with his portrayal, both in visuals and action, although it came together nicely in episode 11 (23). Mostly, it’s Ishikawa’s sterling voice acting that has carried the character all season.

And then they silenced Ishikawa. A mix of stupid-lazy-desperate-for-time meant that for the last episode, they cut out all of Genos’s POV regarding how uneasy he still felt about the monstrous presence he couldn’t pin down, his shrewdly wondering how to find their headquarters, his initial assessment of the Elder Centipede and even how very carefully he thought before deciding to take action. They thought his amazing actions could speak for themselves. They were wrong.

It’s like having Garou act without benefit of flashbacks and assuming his actions will speak for themselves. They don’t! Without the benefit of our knowledge of his motivations and thoughts, he really is just a thug launching unprovoked attacks on heroes.

Instead of us seeing and understanding that Genos had learned, was thinking carefully on all he’d been told and the drastic action he took was because he’d weighed up the options and realised only someone sacrificing his life would save the others, we got the opposite. So what they created instead was a guy who wouldn’t listen to repeated good advice, took on a too-strong enemy and got his butt kicked. Again. And if there’s anything fans rightly hate, it’s a fool who won’t learn. As I pointed out earlier, Genos opened and closed the season – so the impression that nothing had changed really took a lot of any climactic feel out of the episode.

The title of the final episode didn’t help either. Instead of translating it as ‘taking responsibility for one’s disciple’ which would apply with equal force to both Bang trying to bring Garou to heel and to Saitama, rushing in to deal with a situation Genos couldn’t deal with, Crunchyroll went with the near-literal ‘cleaning up the disciple’s mess’ and Hulu with the literal ‘wiping the disciple’s butt’. Both of which set the viewer to see whatever Genos did as a mistake. Even though, ironically, he didn’t make any this episode. It’s a translation klutz like finding out that someone has translated the English idiom ‘catching Peter’s eye’ as ‘gouging out Peter’s eye’ instead of ‘being noticed by Peter’ (no Peters were harmed in the making of this sentence). That is out of JCStaff’s hands, but I hope that whoever does the DVD/Blu Ray has a better set of translators available.

Ah, it’s not worthwhile grousing. It’s not like they had the time to watch the finished episode back and consider the story they were actually telling. I don’t envy whoever takes up season 3. They have a lot of extra work to do to change viewers’ impression of the character and the source material isn’t going to help them. It's going to br difficult to explain why, when faced with a fool who won't listen to him and appears intent on self-destruction, Dr Kuseno would hand Genos an outfit that needs the most careful judgement to use with any degree of safety. For manga readers, it makes sense. For anime watchers some heavy duty retconning will be necessary.

While ONE cried tears of joy after reading Chapter 84, if he’s crying any tears after this season, they won’t be happy ones.

#opm #anime #season 2 #review #characters #story #please DON'T come back JCStaff #they didn't entirely suck #but they sucked too much to be entrusted with more #dodgy visuals can be redrawn #ropey sound can be remastered #but missing the point of major characters argh #that and poor scripting throughout

The ROZZ-TOX Manifesto (a 1980 artifact with end of the millenium resonances)

Gary Panter

Item 1:

The avant-garde is no corpus. It merely lies in shock after an unfortunate bout with its own petard. It feigns sleep but one eye glitters and an involuntary twitch in the corner of the mouth belies a suppressed snicker. The giggle of coming awake at one's own funeral dressed in atomic TV beatnik furniture. A mutant with a mission.

Item 2:

There are twenty years left in the twentieth century. Twenty years to reap the rewards and calamities that have been put in motion in this period. At this time a current of aesthetic function is emerging: the inevitable culmination of concepts and experiments pioneered and conducted in this century. We declare society an amusement park and one to be dead reckoned with.

Item 3:

A deadly texture and tone have taken the cereal Nirvana: a misanthrope born of capitol realities, tendencies, and inter-office memos. Sightless businessmen-posed-entertainers shovel up tons of soulless Saturday morning animation. Would that you could make cost effective the rubbery genius that was the Saturday morning of our youth.

Item 4:

We say enough to the instigators of game show design for we are sick and dizzy. Show us the backs of these monstrous facades, for even bare plywood is a healthier texture. Oh you seekers of the new who run terrified from history into the clutches of an eternal life where no electric shaver can be built to last.

Item 5:

Close the bars! We require well lit media centers that serve soft drinks and milk. We require that top-40 radio stop it. And this for extant executive entertainers: We know when to laugh. Machines don't, and it is irritation to hear them laugh at the wrong time. They laugh at nothing and nothing isn't funny.

Item 6:

Find the evil doers, the merchant peddlers of Pavlovia who use our unmentionable parts against us. Will you hide behind a scrim of two-dimensional phosphorescence when Biology exacts its reward?

Item 7:

Profound faith in glamour is a surefire way to not see that you kill what you eat. We believe and worship a two-dimensional world. No god printers save us when we stand naked and brainless before an uncompromising and impartial physicality. We are sick now/get wise to the media. Join the art police. We call for posting of cow pictures in every fast food franchise. And for vegetarians, recordings of screaming vegetables at every salad bar.

Item 8:

Beautiful and effective communicative marketing and aesthetic media are not innately evil; merely seductive. However, seductive aesthetics and media are prone to undermine common sense and vision in a capitalistic culture. Our own creations have shamed us. Teaching us that the hand and opinion of the individual are not as legitimate as that of opinion transmuted and inflated by broadcast ... especially when that opinion is on 80-pound coated stock, in full color ... or when that opinion steals invisibly and incomprehensibly into a box in our homes. Would that society reveled in certain varieties of vandalism and disarray. May we mow our lawns and remain civilized.

Item 9:

It is unfortunate and unacceptable what vile and lazy do-nothings are given unwarranted credence for mouthing such foul and mean clichis as "rip-off" and "sell-out." They have no understanding of our economy and the time it takes society to go. Confess and shut up! Capitalism good or ill is the river in which we sink or swim. Inspiration has always been born of recombination.

Item 10:

In a capitalistic society such as the in which we live, aesthetics as an endeavor flows thorough a body which is built of free enterprise and various illnesses. In boom times art may be supported by wildcat speculation or my excess funds in form of grants from the state or patronship as a tax write-off. Currently we are suffering from a lean economy. By necessity we must infiltrate popular mediums. We are building a business-based art movement. This is not new. Admitting it is.

Item 11:

Business 1. To create a pseudo-avant-garde that is cost effective. 2. To create merchandising platforms on popular communications and entertainment media. 3. To extensively mine our recent and ancient past for icons worth remembering and permutating: recombo archaeology.

Item 12:

Waiting for art talent scouts? There are no art talent scouts. Face it, no one will seek you out. No one gives a shit.

Item 13:

Market saturation was reached in sixties - everyone knows that. Fine Elitist Art is of diminishing utility. There is not more reward for maintaining or joining an elite and sterile crew.

Item 14:

Elitist art cannot help the emergent complex through its painful and potentially stupidly dangerous adolescence. Start or support primitive industry, propaganda to no dogma, and environmental jarrs.

Item 15:

Law: If you want better media, go make it.

Item 16:

We are born capitalists and manufacturers of alternative goods and services. We are made propagandists and propose an antimedia to no dogma. We call for popular environmental manipulators, primitive industry, an avant-garde placed squarely in the entertainment field, for archaeologists and synthesizers.

Item 17:

A call for mutant intuition and wrestling is real. A current that synthesizes ideas and entertainment .. an antimedia that creates, participates, and services and broader-based lunatic fringe and one that is capable of finishing the century outright. An avant-garde that has no mean diversion and stocks the supermarket.

Item 18:

Our lack of popularity in high school was led us to think and thinking has lead us to this. No war is waged here; only a strain, a virus, a toxoid, a Rozz-Toxoid. The emergent complex asks for just twenty years of your time. Now, stand and sing ...

Final Note:

Capitalism for good or ill is the river in which we sink or swim, and stocks the supermarket

#I'm obv of a Howarth bent instead of a Groening #just look at how they ended up #the artist should work inside capitalism in the same sense a virus works inside it's host

AEW Fight for the Fallen Review

Our first match for the pre show was Peter Avalon vs. Sonny Kiss. Avalon cut a kinda funny promo, starting out by saying that the venue they were in was a library, but Sonny Kiss quickly interrupted him. Kiss had a pretty cool entrance, with the Jacksonville Jaguar cheerleaders. As for the actual match, it was pretty simple. Kiss showed off his Lucha style of offense. Avalon didn’t do much in terms of impressive moves, but he did get a lot of heel heat. At one point, Avalon threw Kiss out of the ring, hoping that Leva Bates would attack him, but she just rolled Kiss back in the ring. Kiss quickly won with a “Kiss is it” a split leg drop in the corner.

Grade: C+. An okay match, really more showcasing Kiss than anything. He is good, had some interesting offense. He will be an entertaining part of this roster, that is for sure. As for Avalon, he looked good at times, but this match wasn’t about him. The Librarian gimmick wasn’t as bad this time around, but it was still annoying. Both of them look like they will be able to be something when TV starts. I look forward to seeing them weekly.

Then we had a Women’s Tag Team match, Britt Baker and Riho vs. Shoko Nakajima and Bea Priestly. Baker and Nakajima started the match with some nice looking technical wrestling. Priestly and Riho faced off after that, with Priestly using her dominant power to take down the smaller Riho. Priestly and Nakajima worked over Riho’s arm for a while, which took up quite a bit of the match. It broke down at one point, with all competitors hitting signature moves. Priestly and Baker squared off at one point, and the crowd went totally wild. They had a huge slugfest in the middle of the ring, ending with a superkick and a butterfly suplex from Baker. Priestly got her back not long after wiith a shoulder capture suplex for a near fall. At one point, Riho hit Nakajima with a northern lights suplex for a near fall, followed by a brutal double foot stomp for a near fall. Nakajima went for a senton on Riho, who dodged it, Riho then went for the running knee, only for Nakajima to hit a spike rana into a cradle for the win.

After the match, Baker and Priestly brawled a bit, only for their partners to pull them apart. I would love to see that feud.

Grade: C. What was unfortunate about this match was that Shoko Nakajima was holding it back. From what I could tell, everyone else was really good and showed an awesome contest. But I didn’t connect with Nakajima at all, and she didn’t impress me. I thought that Priestly and Riho really shined here, they looked great in this match, and Baker looked pretty good too. The problem here was that Nakajima was just featured too much, and none of them really had chemistry with her. That’s too bad, because I wanted to like her, but I just couldn’t. I like that they are setting up Baker and Priestly, but it’s too bad Riho had to lose to do it.

Our opener to the main show, we had MJF, Shawn Spears and Sammy Guevara vs. Jimmy Havoc, Joey Janela and Darby Allin. MJF didn’t cut a promo before this match, but there were a lot of entrances, so that makes sense. Although, MJF was jaw jacking with Spears during the match, so the babyfaces absolutely destroyed him early on. Sammy Guevara tagged in and had a really nice sequence with Janela, ending in a brutal german suplex into the bottom turnbuckle. However, when Janela then tagged out to Havoc, Allin looked pretty pissed, so neither team was really airtight. Allin and Spears nearly squared off, but after Allin begged him to put stiches in his head, Spears tagged out and backed off. One of the most interesting parts of the match was the huge amount of heat on the heels, because every time they tagged out, they were booed like crazy. Nice to see heels that are actually hated. At one point, Spears tagged himself in off of Guevara, only for MJF to tag himself in and give him the classic ten taunt. Spears then ran in, and ate a huge lariat from Janela that MJF avoided. Havoc had a huge hot tag, taking on all three of the heels. He finished off the hot tag by dodging a spear from MJF, which hit Spears and pinned them both in the corner, so Havoc then superplexed Guevara off their backs. Havoc was even able to hit Spears with an acid rainmaker, but Guevara immediately gave him a backstabber in response. Guevara didn’t slow down there, because he gave Janela a huge superkick on the outside, ran back in the ring to give Havoc a suicide dive, and then slid in again to give Janela a suicide corkscrew splash. Guevara almost got a 630 on Allin, but Janela grabbed him off the top rope and gave him a death valley driver on the apron, giving the camera a middle finger and saying “Fuck you Jim Cornette.” So that was fun. Back in the ring, Spears tagged himself in, giving Allin a backbreaker and then a running death valley driver for the win.

Grade: B+. This was a great flippy match, where everyone shined. This match showcased everyone in it, maybe with the exception of MJF, but we already knew what he was about. It really showed what Janela and Havoc could do, because they are really good even outside of their death matches. Guevara really shined above everyone else. He was flying around at crazy speeds, and that suicide dive spot was awesome. He shined above everyone in the ring, and got in some good character work by refusing to move for Allin’s entrance, and trying to constantly be the center of attention. Havoc also got in some character work, as he was nochalantly biting people all over the place. He looked scary. It was a great idea for Spears to pin Allin, because he got a pin on someone that Cody couldn’t beat. Good booking, I can’t wait for that match.

Before the next match, they showed Private Party sitting in the crowd, with Jebailey next to them, only for Jebailey to get thrown out because it was a private party. That was funny.

Into Brandi Rhodes vs. Allie, which was framed as a friendly singles match, but as they were about to start, Awesome Kong showed up again to be in Brandi’s corner. Allie kept the advantage early on, and tried to confront Kong on the outside, but that allowed Brandi to hit a baseball slide to get in some offense, even dumping water on her head. She beat down Allie quite a bit, and the second that Allie started to get back into the match, Kong tripped her as she ran the ropes. At one point, Allie got back into the match, but Brandi took control back by coming off the middle rope from a suplex position and hitting a vertical suplex. Allie nearly had the match won with a superkick and a running death valley driver, only for Kong to pull Brandi out of the ring, just enough for the ref to think it was a kickout. Allie then locked in a dragon sleeper, but Kong distracted the ref while Brandi was tapping out. As Allie argued with the ref, Brandi nailed her with the atomic spear for the win.

After the match, Brandi attacked Allie a bit, and Awesome Kong was about to give her a finisher, but Aja Kong came out to make the save. They didn’t come to blows as they were separated by referees, but they certainly will. Kong was completely ready to kill Aja, but Aja didn’t budge. Brandi forced Kong to leave, while Aja helped Allie out to the back.

Grade: C+. Meh match. I wasn’t huge on Allie before, and I’m still not. Brandi was alright, and they had a couple spots that were pretty good, but otherwise this was meh. I think it was interesting to set up Brandi and Awesome Kong as a unit, I liked those aspects, and Aja Kong vs Awesome Kong will be awesome, no pun intended. This women’s division is shaping up in an interesting way.

Then we had a 3 way tag, The Dark Order vs. Angelico and Jack Evans vs. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. Winner of this match will advance to All Out and face Best Friends for a bye in the AEW world tag team championships tournament. It was cute to see Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy as a team, and Marko Stunt came out. Their team was called a boy and his dinosaur, which was fun. Stunt stayed on the outside during this match, but that new tag team was over as shit. Stu Grayson started the match with Evans, where Grayson threw him around a whole bunch, prompting Evans to beg for the tag out. Grayson and Angelico fought next, but Grayson still overpowered him. As Evil Uno came in, Angelico just wanted to get out, so he gave Jungle Boy a hot tag, and he wrecked Uno with some great looking flying, but Uno eventually but him on his back. Jungle Boy then tagged in Luchasaurus, who even intimidated Uno. Uno tagged out to Jack Evans and Evans desperately tried to convince Angelico to take his place, but he psyched Evans up enough to get his courage. He tried to take down Luchasaurus, but he didn’t budge and beat Evans down with double team offense. The Dark Order beat down Jungle boy quite a bit, not letting him tag out to any team in the match. Uno gave Jungle Boy a top rope senton that looked brutal for a near fall. Eventually, Luchasaurus got a hot tag and beat down Grayson, and took down both Evans and Angelico. After he chokeslammed Evans out of the ring and onto Angelico, followed by a shooting star press off the apron from Jungle Boy. Luchasaurus even was able to go one on one with Evil Uno for a bit and remain in control. As Evans was about to hit Jungle Boy with the 630 senton, but Marko Stunt ran up to the top rope, and drilled Evans with a top rope hurricanrana. The ref ejected Stunt, so Luchasaurus chucked him out over the top rope and onto Angelico. Back in the ring, Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy hit an awesome looking back body drop into a powerbomb combination on Evans, only for Uno to break it up. Uno and Grayson then fought back into the match, giving a boy and his dinosaur a cannonball and splash combination for a shocking near fall. I definitely thought that was it. Right after that, they gave Jungle Boy Fatality to move on to All Out.

Grade: A-. Jeez, I didn’t expect this match to be as good as it was. These teams were moving super fast, hit some awesome tag combinations and reminded me why tag team wrestling is my favorite style of wrestling. I love that a boy and his dinosaur are a team now, that is adorable, and I was thrilled to see Evans and Angelico again. Of course the Dark Order had to win, that feud with the best friends had to go to All Out, Should be a really fun match, but I am still a bit unsure of Evil Uno in particular. He didn’t do all that much to impress me, other than the senton. I hope to see quite a bit more from them at All Out.

Then we had Kip Sabian vs. Adam Page. Sabian had quite the chip on his shoulder for this match, and it showed quite a bit as he stayed on the aggressive side. Page constantly reversed out of moves early on, before the two went strike for strike with each other. At one point, Sabian gave Page an awesome suicide dive and braced himself on the barricade to catch his breath. As he did, a fan got right up in his face and insulted him, so Sabian kissed him, which seemed appropriate. Another spot saw Page giving Sabian a leg trap suplex and Sabian looked like he landed right on his head. It looked brutal. Sabian got more and more frustrated as the match went on, such as when Page continued to sit up after pique kicks. He was so frustrated after that that Sabian started to attack the knee, and then hit another pique for a near fall. One of the highlight of the match was after Page hit a back body drop to Sabian on the apron. He followed it up with the actual best moonsault off the top to the floor that I have ever seen. It looked awesome, brutal to take and brutal to do. Page even started to sell his leg after that. Page even followed it up with a running powerbomb out over the top rope and onto the entrance ramp, and nearly got a countout win. Sabian sold it really really well by spasming for a five count from the ref. Around that time, they gave a three minute call, and the commentators started to play it up that Sabian may not have to lose. Sabian continued to target the knee, giving him a dragonscrew in the ropes, as Page sold it like he was shot.The two fought and dueled for rollups, and Page actually rolled through one, in perfect deadeye position. He nailed the deadeye and won the match.

After the match, one of the Dark Order’s creepers attacked page. It was easy to realize that it was Jericho. He onmasked to a chorus of boos and cheers.He gave page a codebreaker and Judas effect, busting Page open on the head.

Grade: B+. Really good match. I loved Sabian’s desperation during the match, and how Page was certainly taking him seriously despite the knowledge that he was the favorite here. The selling in this match was phenomenal even with the overall lack of sustained limb work. I though the Jericho attack at the end was expected and predictable, but Page getting busted open during it was a lucky break from them because it made it seem real. This was a good match, and for whatever reason, made me buy Page as a legitimate main eventer. I hope to see more of Kip Sabian, because he is a great talent.

Then we have a first time ever tag match: SCU vs. The Lucha Bros. SCU cut a promo on Jacksonville, saying that although it isn’t SoCal, its an alright city. The Lucha Bros and SCU were right up in each other’s face as the match was about to start, so this was intense right from the start. Sky and Pentagon took some time to try to intimidate each other early on with dueling crowd chants. As Pentagon took off his glove to toss it to Aubrey Hepbern, she dropped it and got heavy boos. They tried again and she got huge cheers. Sky stopped the Cero Miedo and they were off to the races. The Lucha Bros destroyed Kazarian with double superkicks, and then slid to the outside for double superkicks on Daniels. They continued to attack Daniels, which he took offense to and hit them with an Arabian moonsault, prompting Hepbern to eject him. There was one point that was really awkward, when Fenix was going to go for a suicide dive as Pentgon hit the Pentagon driver on Sky, but Fenix didn’t see Kazarian on the outside, so he hesitated a couple times before going for a splash instead, looking pretty annoyed about it. On the other side of the spectrum, there was an awesome assisted deadlift DDT from Kazarian to Fenix, but only a near fall. The teams continued to brawl, and Fenix hit an awesome rope walk double foot stomp on Kazarian as Pentagon hit Sky with a mexican destroyer. The Lucha Bros then hit hit Sky with fear factor for the win.

After the match, Daniels came back out, and the Lucha Bros destroyed all of SCU with a ladder. They then cut a promo on the ladder, calling out the Young Bucks and challenging them to a ladder match at All Out. That would be an awesome match, but what will the stakes be? That is the question. Could be the Triple A World Tag Team Championships, or it could be for something more interesting.

Grade: A-. Another awesome tag team match. They killed it out there and put on a great match. The moves were super hard hitting, and they blended phenomenally. I think that Daniels’ involvement early on kinda hurt the match, because that interference should’ve caused a DQ. And it didn’t really add anything. But other than that, it was a great match. I love that challenge for All Out, should be a great match. I look forward to the stories about that going forward.

Then we have CIMA vs. Kenny Omega. This was probably the match I was most looking forward to, as Cima really impressed me from what I’ve seen of him, and Kenny is Kenny. The crowd was chanting “this is awesome” right from the get go. These two fought at a frantic pace from the start. It kinda reminded me of a New Japan match in that way. They slowed down a bit as they continued, with both hitting very deliberate strikes and power moves, until Omega fought back into it with various V-Triggers. Omega began to target Cima’s knees and upper legs, trying to neutralize the meteora that he likes to hit. At one point, as the two brawled on the outside, Cima climbed up onto some bleachers with Omega on a podium, and Cima nailed him with a meteora onto it, which looked tough for everyone. Back in the ring, Cima nailed Omega with a pair of Meteroas, one to the back of the head, the other to the face, but only a near fall. Cima went for another Meteora to a standing Omega, only for Omega to catch him and nail a buckle bomb, a v-trigger, a leg trap michinoku driver and then another v-trigger for a near fall. After that sequence, the crowd broke into dueling chants of “Fight forever” and “this is awesome.” The two kept up the momentum, with Cima nailing a pair of meteoras, a brainbuster on the apron, and then a meteroa off the top, but Omega got his foot off the top rope. The two continued to brawl, and Cima’s leg gave out. This allowed Omega to hit a tiger driver, a v-trigger and the one winged angel for the win.

Grade: A. They continue to deliver on this show. This is Kenny’s best match since he left New Japan, and they killed it. Cima was a great opponent and an awesome foil for Omega here. It was a hard hitting, strong style match that could’ve easily been the main event. Great stuff from both guys, Cima could be a world champion someday.

Then we had Chris Jericho, coming out to cut a promo. He talked about how Page’s blood was still on his hand. He wanted a thank you from AEW management, and got pissed at the fans for trying to thank him, because they don’t matter. He called them Jerksonville, and Jackoffville. He gave himself credit for AEW thriving the way it has. He said that he was offended that Page won the battle royal, he would’ve preferred a whole bunch of other randos from that match. He put over Page a little bit, but then said that this match is a lose lose for him. If he wins, he is already a legend, and he is expected to win, and he gets nothing out of it. But if he loses, AEW starts to go down, and so does Jericho. He finsihed off by calling Page a bitch, and Page ran out and attacked They fought off the refs and other wrestlers who eventually separated them for the most part. Page’s eye looked really ugly, but he looked badass. That’ll be a great match I think.

Grade: B. Good promo. Jericho’s crowd work was honestly the highlight of this, and how he was wildly egotistic to the point that he saw no upside in beating Page. The brawl was great, with Page’s eye looking the way it did only added to it. Looking forward to the match, and whatever build they wind up going with.

In the main event, we had the Young Bucks vs. Cody and Dustin Rhodes. Billed as a Dream Tag team match, and it really is one. On commentary before the match, JR was oddly defensive about older wresters, saying “how dare he live to be 50.” The match started with a handshake between Nick and Cody. Nick started to do some flips to get out of Cody’s various holds, which really showed the clash of styles. The two were right up in each other’s faces as they continued to go for and counter out of each other’s signatures. The Bucks eventually got control after The Brotherhood showed off their tag prowess, and the Bucks once again made fun of the Rhodes’ moments at Double or Nothing. The Bucks beat down Dustin, and pulled Cody off of the apron when Dustin got close. Nick even mocked Cody’s enthusiasm in the corner by mimicking him. Cody eventually got the hot tag and lit up the bucks. Throughout the match, both teams took terms spitting on the partner on the apron, as the heat of this match slowly ramped up. The Brotherhood worked over Matt’s shoulder, as it was run into the post early on in the match. The Bucks eventually worked the pace of the match back into their favor, and even locked in stereo sharpshooters, only for the Rhodes to reverse it into stereo figure four leglocks. The match continued on, and there was an awesome spot where the Bucks went for the Meltzer driver Dustin, but Cody intercepted Matt with a disaster kick. The Brotherhood then hit an assisted Cross Rhodes, but Nick broke up the pin with a swanton bomb. The two teams beat each other down, and Cody accidentally hit Rick Knox, causing a ref bump. The Rhodes then set up the bucks for Shattered Dreams and hit them in stereo, followed by Stereo twisting suplexes for a near fall. The Bucks retreated to the outside, and Cody came flying out to them, eating superkicks as he fell. The Bucks then double teamed Dustin, who was able to fend them off pretty well, before dropping down for the right and eating a superkick and an elbow drop for a near fall. After beating Cody down a bit, the Bucks were unsure if they wanted to target the stitches. Eventually they figured that they had to, and gave him a double superkick to the back of the head, with Dustin breaking up the pin. The two teams then stole each other’s offense, with the Bucks hitting the drop down right, followed by Superkicks from the Brotherhood.The Bucks then hit superkicks of their own, and nailed Cody with a Cross Rhodes for a near fall, and the Meltzer Driver for the win.

After the match, Dustin refused to let The Bucks help Cody up. The Bucks then grabbed a mic and apologized for this little feud getting so heated and personal. They said it was in the spirit of competition, and that the Rhodes brothers were supposed to be a great tag team. They didn’t watch much “of the other product,” but the Brotherhood absolutely was a great tag team, one of the best in the world.

Grade: B+. I really liked this match. The crowd was dead during it, but they really did well here. There was a lot of storytelling as the two teams devolved into more violent offense as they went. I thought that Cody and Dustin still had it as a team and that they did really well. The Bucks made sense to get the win here, as Cody and Dustin may end up going their separate ways soon, but they put on a really good match that I liked. It just sucks that the crowd didn’t care.

The guys in the back then came out to present a check to the victims society. They raised $150,000 for them, which was awesome. Cody gave a passionate promo about All Elite Wrestling, saying that no one can counter program them. They can’t fight the love that this company was built on, and they talked about how they’d be going to TNT in the fall, and they’d bring the fans with them. He then put Kenny on the mic, who thanked the fans and gave a goodnight, with the gun stuff switched to cartoon sound effects. It was cute and sweet, and this was a good ending to the show.

Overall Grade: B

Pros: 6-man tag; triple threat tag; sabian vs. page; lucha bros vs. scu; cima vs. omega; main event

Cons: women’s tag

Ringbelles Roundup (4/27/18) – Jordynne Grace wins BLP Title, War Games match gets added to Wrestle Queendom, Ayako Hamada unseats SENDAI's starlet & is WAVE finalist, Tessa beats Kylie, more title changes, new match annoncements & more

Here are some title changes, nuances, big developments and retainments that occurred over this last weekend…

Miranda Salinas, Delilah Doom, Britt Baker and Chelsea Green all wrestled for a championship opportunity in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Friday night, as the number one contendership to the Zelo Pro Women’s Title was on the line. Green picked up the win and will soon challenge the new champion, Tessa Blanchard; the title changed hands that same night in the show’s main event. Kylie Rae’s first defense with the championship turned out to be her final, as she fell victim to Tessa’s finisher, the Magnum… Charli Evans and Jetta have advanced to the semifinals of 3 Count Wrestling’s Women’s Title tournament after the two competitors bested Erin Angel and Rhia O’Reilly respectively in the first round matchups on Saturday in Northallerton. The promotion has already announced that Evans will be facing Jetta in the next round at their show in Hartlepool on May 19th. The event will also feature semi-finalists Sammii Jayne and Little Miss Roxxy squaring in their matchup… The teams of Raze and Tito Escondido and Delilah Doom and Eli Everfly have advanced past the first round of Rival Pro’s Tag Team Titles tournament, beating the duos of Michael Hopkins and KC Douglas and Jake Atlas and Lucas Riley respectively on Saturday… Toni Storm racked up three additional, successful title defenses as part of PROGRESS’ tour of Australia last week. She first retained the women’s belt up against Allyson Cruz on a show featuring performers from Explosive Pro Wrestling in Balcatta and knocked off Kellyanne two days later in Thornbury at a conjoined event with Melbourne City Wrestling. She finished out the tour with a retainment over Jessica Troy in Sydney… Nina Monet unseated Holidead of the Renegade Wrestling Alliance Women’s Title on Saturday in a matchup involving the former titleholder defending the belt against Londyn Ali also… On Thursday, Sierra defeated Aesop Mitchell to become the new ICW Midwest Champion, beating the titleholder and three other competitors in the show’s main event. She’s the first woman to have ever held the championship… Leva Bates retained her AWE Bombshells Title against Kaci Lennox on Friday in Cocoa, Florida. The promotion, Atomic Wrestling Entertainment, has been ousted for continuing to advertise Santana Garrett for the night’s event despite having the wherewithal that she would not be appearing according to the former NWA World Women’s Champion. Garrett has since made it public knowledge that due to their business practices, that she would no longer be working with the promotion going forward… Stacy Shadows title defense against Tess Valentine in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Saturday ended in a no contest, resulting in Shadows retaining the Brew City Wrestling Women’s belt… Miyako Matsumoto successfully retained the Ice Infinity Cross Championship against Ibuki Hoshi on Saturday in Saitama, Japan, picking up her second title defense…

Jordynne Grace took home the Black Label Pro Championship on Saturday after defeating Tom Lawlor – Mouse’s Wrestling Adventures ©

FaceBrooke and Shazza McKenzie made their way over to Crown Point, Indiana for Black Label Pro’s show on Saturday, however, the biggest story coming out of the event is the unseating of “Filthy” Tom Lawlor of the world championship by none other than Jordynne Grace. Grace had won the promotion’s Rumble match earlier this year and as a result, she was granted a shot at the Black Label Pro Title, which she’s now claimed thanks to a Vader Bomb… Britt Baker’s matchup against Tenille Dashwood at Remix Pro Wrestling’s show in Marietta, Ohio on Saturday was set to be under non-title contention, as Baker’s championship was not on the line. However, the match never took place, as Dashwood stood ringside with Samantha Heights taking her place. It was reported by PWInsider that Dashwood had trouble with her shoulder and was advised by doctors to sit out of the weekend’s bookings and take time off to recuperate. She underwent surgery on her shoulder back in July of 2011 and re-agitated it last May during a WWE Live event while overseas in Europe. Sassy Stephie made her return that night and took on Roni Nicole. The matchup marked Stephie’s first time back working for the promotion after dropping the Fury Championship to Tessa Blanchard back in April of 2016… Shotzi Blackheart won the revived IWA Women’s Title on Thursday, which you can read about here…

Ayako Hamada is the new SENDAI Girls World Champion after beating Chihiro Hashimoto in the event of Thursday’s show at Korakuen Hall. Hamada dethroned the champion in her third title reign, making Hashimoto the only competitor to have ever held the belt on three separate occasions. Hamada won the matchup with her patented finisher, the AP Cross and has since utilized the move once more to knock Arisa Nakajima and Misaki Ohata out of the running and she’s since acquired more success with the move and knocked Arisa Nakajima and Misaki Ohata out of the running for the finals of the 2018 Catch the WAVE. She now heads into the final matchup against Rina Yamashita, as she defeated Nagisa Nozaki to win the entire “Crazy” block and walked away with eleven points in total. The aforementioned were winners of the “Violence” block and with the promotion needing to determine the true winner, they booked a three-way fight between the women. Yamashita and Ayako Hamada face off in the finals at WAVE’s next Korakuen Hall date on May 4th along with the official retirement of Mika Iida, who’s scheduled five-person gauntlet match will not be happening due to injury. Nagisa Nozaki and Yuki Miyazaki will be defending the tag team titles at the show, as a no longer injured Takumi Iroha and Rin Kadokura get their rematch after vacating the belts back in January…

Another qualifier for NOVA Pro’s 2018 Women’s Commonwealth Cup took place at their Fairfax show on Friday, as Veda Scott faced off against Jordan Blade and the debuting FaceBrooke and won. Two other matches were booked for the show; Angelus Layne was originally set to go one-on-one with Isla Dawn after their scheduled matchup back in February got canceled due to the snowstorm, however, she wound up defeating Laynie Luck. Joining FaceBrooke in her quest over from Australia was Shazza McKenzie, as her official debut seen her take on Jordynne Grace in losing effort. Two more qualifying matches have gotten added to the promotion’s May 11th show in Annandale, Virginia. Shotzi Blackheart will take on Angelus Layne and Brittany Blake will face Allie Kat. Veda Scott, Penelope Ford, and Jordynne Grace are also set to appear… Brittany Blake picked up her first title defense since regaining the MCW Pro Women’s Championship last month on Saturday in Joppa, Maryland when she defeated Ivory Robyn in the show’s opener… Io Shirai picked up her ninth title defense with the Wonder of STARDOM Championship on Saturday in Osaka, as she retained successfully against Martina. She’s now tied the previous record set by Santana Garrett back in March of 2016 with the most defenses in the championship’s lineage, surpassing the reigns of Kairi Hojo, Yuzuki Aikawa and even her own original run with the belt back in 2015… Erica retained her All Star Women’s Title against Venom on Sunday in Oklahoma City

Here’s a look at what’s going this weekend on the North American indies, overseas in Europe and elsewhere…

Kris Wolf invades Europe once more this weekend – Kamikaze Pro Wrestling ©

Kris Wolf has a busy weekend ahead of her – she works Shanna at Kamikaze Pro’s show in Coventry on Friday night and heads over to Barcelona for Revolution Championship Wrestling’s event the following evening, where she faces Mauro Chaves. Those events will also feature matches like Millie McKenzie taking on Charli Evans, Viper contesting for Sammii Jayne’s RCW Women’s Championship, Livvii Grace going up against Jetta, Bobbi Tyler battling Chakara, Tracy, Laura Di Matteo and Kleo Mallette colliding in a three-way and Killer Kelly facing Flo Riley… On Friday night, Kylie Rae and GPA will be defending their Freelance Tag Team Titles up against Holidead and Thunder Rosa in Chicago… Sabotage Wrestling holds another show in Austin on Saturday and its headlined by Erica Torres’ most recent title defense, as she takes on former champion, Delilah Doom. Baby D and Phoebe will be defending their tag straps up against the team of Myka and Rob Love. Lacey Lane will be taking on Isla Dawn, Robyn Reid takes on J. Serious, Rachael Ellering and Thunder Rosa will collide and Nikki Knight will face off against Alex Gracia, Hyan, and Rockelle Vaughn… Little Miss Roxxy faces Chakara for Tidal Championship Wrestling in Leeds on Sunday… Kimber Lee’s return to the independent scene has already landed her first title shot. She challenges LuFisto head-on for the SHINE Championship at Friday’s show in Ybor City, as it will be the titleholder’s fourteenth-defense to date. Nothing else has been announced for SHINE 50 besides an Anything Goes match between Rain and Stormie Lee and a bunch of names like Aerial Monroe, Jordynne Grace, Dynamite DiDi, Isla Dawn, Kiera Hogan and Leva Bates all being in the building…

Xia Brookside’s latest title defense is one of the many announced contests that’s going to be taking place at today’s GRL Wrestling show at the Westgate Hall in Canterbury, England. The full-female lineup sees her defending the IPW Women’s Championship up against Rhia O’Reilly in the show’s headliner after her original opponent, Kay Lee Ray couldn’t make the show due to a scheduling conflict. The matchup will be Brookside’s first time defending the belt inside of Europe since winning it off of Livvii Grace back in December. Her first and second title defenses happened within the confines of her ongoing tour with STARDOM this year, retaining against Natsuko Tora in February and most recently against Konami back at Dream Slam in Nagoya on April 1st. Also signed for the event is two singles meetings, as Erin Angel will be taking on Chakara and Ayesha Raymond will be going up against Nightshade. Sadie Gibbs and Bobbi Tyler will be tag team action against the likes of Jayde and Shax… Tenille Dashwood will also be making the rounds this weekend, but over in Europe – she meets Jinny in a non-title match for Pro Wrestling Chaos’ show in Yate and goes up against Xia Brookside for IPW: UK’s Rochester event on Sunday… Nicole Matthews takes on Rebel Kel at Defy Wrestling’s show in Tacoma, Washington on Saturday… Tess Valentine has a title defense signed for Saturday’s Atomic Championship Wrestling show in Reading, Pennsylvania. She defends the Rogue Women Warriors belt up against the likes of Ray Lyn, Trixie Tash, and Rebecca Payne. Three other matches are booked for the show, as Londyn Ali takes on Riley Shepard, Hellen Vale faces off with Kaci Dillon and LuFisto takes on a competitor that is not only a former All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling Champion, but also holds a reign with the Arsion Title. The promotion was not specific in which championship they were referencing, as the defunct company, which was founded by Aja Kong back in 1997, had three titles, the Queen of Arsion (main title), Sky High of Arsion (secondary) and the Twin Star of Arsion (tag team titles). Kong and Mima Shimoda are the most likely candidates to be making this trip over to Pennsylvania, as both are former Queen of Arsion titleholders. Ayako Hamada is another guess; she held the Sky High of Arsion belt back in 2000 and held the WWWA World Singles Championship, otherwise known as the “red belt” in AJW in 2003 and again in 2004… Raze takes on Heather Monroe for Ground Zero San Diego on Saturday…

Its hard to believe that a newly-signed Tessa Blanchard and Kimber Lee will face off for the very first time this weekend, but it’s happening – Beyond Wrestling ©

Event Report: NorthEast Comic Con (Winter 2018)

NorthEast Comic Con & Collectibles Extravaganza’s Winter 2018 edition took place this past weekend, November 23-25, at the Regency Hotel in Boxboro, MA. While much of the world was sleeping off a Thanksgiving-fueled food hangover or scouring for Black Friday deals, the convention served as a great way to get a jump-start on geeky holiday shopping with dozens of vendors, plus celebrities, comedians, bands, and more. I attended on Saturday, which was a blast.

NorthEast Comic Con marked original Godzilla star Akira Takarada's only US appearance of 2018. He even brought over some Gojira collectibles from Japan (including a Godzilla humidifier!) that fans could purchase. The 84-year-old actor came off as sweet, funny, and genuine during his panel early Saturday afternoon, which ran over its hour-long slot as he wanted to continue answering audience questions. He spoke in English for his introduction - during which he congratulated us on the Red Sox winning the World Series - and then used an interpreter to answer questions.

Takarada shared a humorous anecdote about how a security guard and a cheap pair of swim trunks led to his job at Toho and, ultimately, his role in Godzilla. A memorable moment came when he explained that he called Invasion of Astro-Monster star Nick Adams "Mr. Horny," because the American actor was always asking him to introduce him to Japanese women. He later remarked that Cesar Romero (with whom he worked on Latitude Zero) was even more horny than Adams. He discussed shooting a cameo as an immigration officer for Godzilla (2014) in secrecy, only to have it cut from the final film. He understood the situation and hopes to appear in future Godzilla movies.

While it was largely lighthearted, the conversation became heavy when Takarada spoke about the impact that the atomic bomb had on Japan and how it birthed Godzilla. He compared the film’s American re-edit, Godzilla, King of the Monsters, to a "badly made quilt," as it cuts the social commentary. He also shared a harrowing story of being shot as a civilian by a Soviet soldier during World War II, which required a local doctor to remove the bullet with a pair of household scissors and no medication or stitches. Finally, when asked what Godzilla means to him, Takarada responded, "He's my classmate," before expressing his gratitude to the fans as the original film approaches its 65th anniversary next year.

Having met Kevin Eastman at Rhode Island Comic Con just a few weeks prior, I was excited to see the other creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Peter Laird, as a late addition to the NorthEast ComicCon guest list. He graciously signed up to three items for free; like Eastman, each autograph is accompanied by a quick Ninja Turtle sketch. Laird was joined by fellow Mirage Studios alumnus and longtime TMNT artist Steve Lavigne, who was equally pleasant.

Other guests included decorated voice actor Billy West (Futurama, Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show), author and Squirrel Girl co-creator Will Murray, actor Jerome St. John Blake (Star Wars: The Phantom Menace), actor/comedian Frank Santorelli (The Sopranos), actor/comedian Jimmy Dunn (The McCarthys), Emmy Award-winning puppeteer Bill Diamond (Little Shop of Horrors), Disney animator Philo Barnhart (The Little Mermaid, The Smurfs), and "Queen of the Paranormal" Kadrolsha Ona Carole, among others.

An unexpected highlight of the event was a performance by Gwell-o, a Gwar-inspired band featuring members of the comedy rock act Green Jelly. Like Gwar, the musicians dress as intergalactic monsters with painted-on abs and battle other creatures during the show, but Gwell-o's homemade suits are built out of cardboard and duct tape. The lineup includes performers that do not play instruments but rather keep busy singing backups, dancing, fighting, and engaging in dart gun wars with the audience.

A fun mix of heavy metal, monster movies, and pro wrestling, Gwell-o offers the melee of Gwar without the blood and bodily fluids, thereby making it more accessible to a convention audience. In addition to original songs and their renditions of Gwar and Green Jelly favorites, Gwell-o covered Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" (dedicated to Takarada, who watched on with a smile plastered across his face), "I Need Mo' Allowance" from the cartoon Doug (in tribute to Billy West, who was in the audience), and Judas Priest's "Night Crawler." While some audience members may have approached the performance with curious confusion, everyone left the hour-long set entertained.

Saturday evening concluded with a live recording of The McCue Report podcast in which host Jim McCue interviewed several cast and crew members from Sweeney Killing Sweeney, including actors/comedians Frank Santorelli (The Sopranos) and Tony V. (Seinfeld). Director Lisa Aimola detailed their attempts to make the comedy film for nine years before deciding to do it independently, shooting it in two and a half weeks with a local cast and crew on a $100,000 budget. The half-hour chat made me eager to see the film, in which comedian Steve Sweeney's standup characters come to life. Limited edition DVDs were available exclusively at the event; otherwise the film is expected to be released digitally in 2019.

NorthEast Comic Con also included more panels, live concerts, standup comedy, podcasts recordings, cosplay activities and contest, a room full of exhibitors, a gaming area, kids crafts and activities, and more. With Rhode Island Comic Con fresh in my mind (and Rock and Shock not too long before that), NorthEast Comic Con served as a strong reminder of how fun a more intimate convention can be. The atmosphere is inviting, and the smaller setting allows for a more creative and unique environment than the huge pop-culture shows. With weekend passes running a mere $20, NorthEast Comic Con is as affordable as it is enjoyable.

Wrestling fans -- and by "wrestling," I refer not to the Olympic sport, but the knee-boot-and-atomic-elbow-drop exhibition -- do not very much care for the word "fake." They prefer words like "scripted," to suggest while the outcome is very much determined ahead of time, the truth, such as it is, remains in the performance.

===============================

DAWN McGILL’S OFFICEThe owner of PCW works at her desk making sure tonight’s show goes smoothly. She’s on the phone with the backstage crew when…

youtube

Dawn looks up. She looks around. Shrugs. Goes back to work. A few seconds later.

youtube

Now she’s slightly annoyed. She pauses. Then back to work. She starts to type on her laptop and-

youtube

Properly annoyed, Dawn gets up from her chair and marches out of her office, down the hall, and into the floor of the arena where she sets eyes on the obnoxious noise bothering her.

Dawn McGill: Oooh! I knew it!

‘Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’Host Samantha Bee

McGill marches right down to ringside…grabs a steel folding chair from underneath the ring…walks around the ring…and before Bee can screech again…

*BLAM*

…Bee gets a steel chair facial and that’s the end of that.

McGill simply drops the chair, turns around, and heads back towards her office.

PCW Extreme Political TV on P-SPAN Sunday February 3rd, 2019 Taped February 2nd at the Peoria Civic Center Peoria, Illinois

Announcers:‘The Voice of PCW’ Johnny Suave‘Low Level Reporter at the New York Times Trying to Make a Name for Herself’ Colleen Crowder

==============================

The camera pans all over the Peoria Civic Center Center as PCW is on the air!

Crowd: PCW!…PCW!…PCW!…

Cut to the ring where ‘The Voice of PCW’ Johnny Suave and ‘Low Level Reporter at the New York Times Trying to Make a Name for Herself’ Colleen Crowder stand.

Johnny Suave: Hello everyone and welcome to Political Championship Wrestling!

Crowd: PCW!…PCW!…PCW!…

Johnny Suave: I am Johnny Suave. She is a low level reporter at the New York Times trying to make a name of herself Colleen Crowder. And-

Crowder is upset about Dawn McGill dropping Samantha Bee with a chairshot to start the show.

Colleen Crowder: If Dawn McGill wasn’t a woman, you’d think she’d be exhibiting toxic masculinity.

Johnny Suave: Or perhaps Miss McGill is fed up with the toxic femininity that oozes out from Samantha Bee.

Offended, Crowder accuses Suave of toxic masculinity.

Johnny Suave: Well speaking of Dawn McGill and her toxic masculinity, here she comes to the ring and I’m guessing it’s to address the business transaction that took place this past week.

DAWN ADDRESSES THE PCW FAITHFUL McGill thanks the crowd for coming out to the show. She doesn’t want to take too much of their time so she gets right to the point.

Dawn McGill: Ladies and gentlemen, as of this moment the PCW Heartland title is once again the P-C-W title!

The fans stand and let out a roar.

McGill states the deal is the stereotypical corporate, cliché-ish ‘win-win.’

Dawn McGill: Mr. McMann gets his sports entertainment empire…the Political Wrestling Federation…and all the bells and whistles that go along with it. We…PCW…we get our freedom and we keep our traditions. Extreme Election Night stays right here. We continue to have a seat at the table of the Political Universe.

More thunderous applause.

McGill says PCW gets to show the world…and the Mitch McConnells of this world…that money…especially corporate money isn’t the end-all, be-all. PCW may not have the financial resources of a big corporation but PCW doesn’t need the financial resources of a big corporation to make it work because we have something they don’t- heart.

Dawn McGill: Bigger isn’t necessarily better. We aren’t wrestling for a soulless corporate overlord concerned about profits. We are wrestling for you.

As for Nancy Pelosi’s comments…

VIDEO: Nancy Pelosi (CA-Progressive Alliance)

Nancy Pelosi: Dawn McGill is making a big mistake here. She needs us. PCW needs us. All businesses need a strong, central government telling them what to do and how to succeed. She’s giving all that up to go on her own.

McGill fires right back at her…

Dawn McGill: …we don’t need you, Nancy. We don’t need you telling us what to do. We don’t need you telling us how to succeed. PCW are masters of our own destiny. All we need from you is to stay the hell out of our way. We can take care of ourselves just fine.

McGill thanks everyone again and reminds them about next week’s supershow at the D.C. Armory,

Crowder thinks McGill is misguided is she thinks she doesn’t need Nancy Pelosi or even Mitch McConnell’s help to succeed.

Colleen Crowder: She didn’t build this. PCW needs Nancy Pelosi more than Nancy Pelosi needs PCW.

Suave ignores her and moves on to the wild winter weather that invaded the Midwest last week.

THE POLAR VORTEX OF DOOMClimbing into the ring is a new PCW personality- the Polar Vortex of Doom. He’s about six foot eight tall. Not very athletic. Dressed in all blue.

His theme music is the Cold Miser song from the classic Christmas show ‘A Year Without a Santa Claus.’

Johnny Suave: Three days ago, the temperature in Peoria was about sixty-five degrees colder than it is right now.

The Polar Vortex raises his arms menacingly to the crowd.

Colleen Crowder: This is all global warming’s fault! See? Al Gore was right.

Johnny Suave: WAIT A MINUTE!

Suddenly PCW Heartland Champion ‘The One Man Anti-Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism comes down to the ring.

Colleen Crowder: What is he doing here?

He slides in. Boot to the gut. Lift. Anti-Hollywood Blockbuster to the Polar Vortex.

Colleen Crowder: Not sure that was called for.

Chism leaves. Next down, ‘Canadian Bad Boy’ Justin Beaver.

Johnny Suave: It’s been really cold in some parts of Canada. Like Siberian level cold.

Beaver takes the dazed Polar Vortex and hits his finisher- the Pop Star. He exits.

Next down, PCW Tag Team Champions Weapons of Mass Destruction. A. Tom Bomb. Hy Drogen Bomb. Daisy Cutter-Bomb.

Colleen Crowder: This is not his fault. This is our fault for changing the climate and using fossil fuels and-

Atomic Powerbomb to the Polar Vortex. A-Bomb exits.

Hydrogen Powerbomb to the Polar Vortex. H-Bomb exits.

Daisy Cutter Powerbomb to the Polar Vortex. She exits.

By now, there’s a line of PCW wrestles waiting to climb into the ring.

As the carnage continues…

STATE OF PCW ADDRESS SET…Suave reviews the week.

Johnny Suave: Both the Red Brand and Blue Brand held shows this weekend following the end of the shutdown. The President of the PCW Executive Committee Nancy Pelosi has invited PCW CEO Donald Trump to give his ‘State of PCW’ Address on Tuesday February 5th. The new deadline date is February 15th. Can both factions- the Progressive Alliance and the American Patriots- find a compromise way forward on Trump’s security concerns?

Colleen Crowder: Johnny, it would all be simpler if the Trump and the American Patriots simply acquiesced to the Progressive Alliance’s view of the situation.

MORE DRAMA BETWEEN McCARTHY AND McGILL Suave reviews the latest installment of the war between Professor McCarthy and PCW Heartland Owner Dawn McGill…

VIDEO: Last Week’s Show – The Flock AttackProfessor McCarthy’s Flock attack Rah and Halitosis during their match against the Progressive Alliance’s ‘New Age Sensitive Guy’ Blaine Thomas-Taylor and NPC.

Johnny Suave: …Professor McCarthy’s Flock have attacked Rah and Halitosis and it’s a fourteen on two beatdown!

Deep State #1 wields the infamous baseball used two weeks ago in the attack on Ray McAvay. He whacks Halitosis in the back with it and takes out the Luchador with Insane Bad Breath.

…

Johnny Suave: AND HERE SHE COMES!

McGill, Universal PCW Champion Ray McAvay, The Les Miserables (General DeBauchery, Al Cahall, Nic Koteen), Truckin’ Perfectly Average (Ken Worth-American Trucker, Average Joe, Brad Company) and Beer Bellied Softball Playing Ninja (Hank, Tiny, and Stan) crash the ring and it’s on.

McAvay has the Big Bertha driver and wields it like a crazed samurai. He pole axes his way through the crowd taking out everything in sight. The Beer Bellied Softball Playing Ninja chase the Young Jerks to the back. McGill chokes out Codee Pink (Codee Pink Glitter Bombed McGill two weeks ago).

Suave notes that ‘this time’, McGill was ready for the attack and came down in numbers to chase Professor McCarthy’s Flock to the back.

Crowder differs in her assessment. She blames McGill for escalating the situation by responding in an overly violent way.

Johnny Suave: Because swinging a baseball bat with the intent of hurting someone isn’t the least bit violent.

Colleen Crowder: Or a Big Bertha Driver?

Johnny Suave: Touche.

POLAR VORTEX- PART 2 There’s still action going on in the ring. Now it’s Couch Potato who’s getting his shots in on the Polar Vortex of doom.

Johnny Suave: Isn’t that cute.

In between chasing down the Twinkies that the PCW fans throw into the ring, CP has the Polar Vortex of Doom locked up in the Barcalounger Stretch.

Colleen Crowder: That’s just wrong.

CHISM SENDS DANIELS OFF Suave talks about Stone Chism sending ‘Mr. Hollywood’ Kevin Daniels back to the Blue Brand last week after Chism defeated him.

VIDEO: Last Week’s Show- Chism vs. Daniels

Daniels pokes Chism in the eyes. Daniels for a True Hollywood Blockbuster.

Colleen Crowder: That’s it! END IT!

Chism kicks through and flips out.

Johnny Suave: NO! HE REVERSED IT!

Colleen Crowder: NOOOO!

Backslide. Cover.

One…

Two…

THREE!

*DING-DING-DING*

Johnny Suave: AND THAT’S IT! STONE CHISM HAS DEFEATED KEVIN DANIELS!

Colleen Crowder: Kevin Daniels goes back to a better place…a more enlightened and tolerant place where Hollywood stars are given the reverence they’re entitled to in the Blue Brand.

Johnny Suave: Yeah, whatever.

MORE POLAR VORTEX STUFF The crowd roars again. Millennial Mark, accompanied by Snowflake Suzie, runs down to the ring.

Johnny Suave: Hey Look! Even Millennial Mark is going to get into the act.

Colleen Crowder: Aw come on!

Millennial Mark slides into the ring. And like Malak getting in the last stab in after Arnold Schwarzenegger vanquishes his opponent (see the movie Conan the Destroyer), Mark aims carefully and hits his Parent’s Basement Dropkick on the semi-conscious Polar Vortex.

Colleen Crowder: All right, are we done with this yet?

Johnny Suave: We’ll be back right after this.

=======================

**COMMERCIAL BREAK**

=======================

Johnny Suave: And we’re back on Extreme Political TV and-

POLAR VORTEX- THE ULTIMATE DECISIONSuddenly, a giant groundhog (or someone dressed in a groundhog costume) waddles down to the ring.

Johnny Suave: Hey look! Here comes PHIL! And he’s from Punxsutawney!

Colleen Crowder: Phil? What? Are we still doing this?

Johnny Suave: Hah! You said Kevin Daniels went to a better place. Would the Blue Brand have a giant groundhog come to the ring and…

The giant costumed groundhog pulls the Polar Vortex up…puts his head between his legs and places him upside…and then drops…

Johnny Suave: …PILEDRIVE the Polar Vortex! Oh…HOLY CRAP!

And that takes care of the Polar Vortex.

Colleen Crowder: Okay, are we done with this now?

Johnny Suave (facetiously): I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, that move ought to be banned…of course, we’re talking about the piledriver!

Crowder rolls her eyes and sighs.

Suave runs down the rest of the show… –Drama at Des Moines is one year away- the start of the road to Extreme Election Night 2020–Professor McCarthy comments from the Blue Brand Show in San Francisco last night–The Sports Entertainment Corporation: P.M.C. Banks and Kirk Walstreit vs. Rick Beam- Country Club Pro w/Pool Boy Pete and Jack from State Barn Insurance–Former Starbucks head honcho Howard Schultz speaks about 2020.–Mr. McMann tries to keep the Sports Entertainment Corporation together–Main Event: SNAFU vs. Jack Fraiser in a PCW Title #1 contender’s match–Next week’s D.C. Supershow preview

AVERAGE JOE INTERVIEW PCW backstage interviewer Blair Moise introduces Average Joe. Average Joe comes out in his bright yellow t-shirt with ‘Average Joe’ emblazoned in the front (think the shirt from the movie ‘Dodgeball’) and red shorts.

Average Joe tells Blair he’s very happy with the dawning of a new era in Political Championship Wrestling.

Blair asks about his opponent tonight. Average Joe says he has no clue who he is and where he came from except that he apparently arrived here on a big boat.

Cut back to Suave and Crowder at the broadcast table.

Johnny Suave: Let’s go to Kimber Marshall in the ring.

MATCH #1 – Average Joe vs. Billy ZaineKimber is in the ring and ready to roll.

Kimber Marshall: Representing Truckin’ Average Company…

Valet/Manager Tequila Sheila comes out next to her theme music.

‘Tequila Sheila’- Bobby Bare

‘Pour me another…tequila…

Sheila twirls around as the crowd shouts out: ‘SHEILA!”

Brad Company and Ken Worth-American Trucker appear first.

Average JoeHT: 6′ 2″ WT: 220 / HOME: Defiance, OH FIN: Average Slam

All three men shake hands and walk down to the ring.

Kimber Marshall: And his opponent…

Billy ZaineHT: 5’10” WT: 175 / HOME: Pittsburgh, PA

Zaine starts down to the ring dressed like the character Caladon Hockley in the movie ‘Titanic’- a stylish 1910’s vintage tuxedo with a white bow tie. Crowder calls him well-dressed, well-cultured and wonders what he’s doing in PCW.

Zaine reaches halfway down and suddenly veers over to the barricade. Suave wonders what he’s doing. He’d find out fast enough when Zaine plucks a young child from the crowd, holds him up in the air, and calls out…

Billy Zaine: I HAVE A CHILD!

With said child…that he has, Zaine takes off towards the ring.

Billy Zaine: I HAVE A CHILD!

Colleen Crowder: What the hell is going on here?

Johnny Suave: He has a child!

The parents jump the barricade and run after him. Zaine hits the ring and shows the child to the referee.

Billy Zaine: I HAVE A CHILD!

The referee just tells him to get in the ring already. He does. The child stays at ringside until his bewildered parents take him back to his seat.

Johnny Suave: All right, this Titanic struggle is under way.

*DING-DING*

Zaine taunts Average Joe that “I HAVE A CHILD!” Average Joe attacks and they brawl in the ring. Average Joe throws forearms and uppercuts, then boots Zaine down! He drags Zaine right back up and boots him back down. Zaine tackles Average Joe and they roll around in the ring. Back to their feet, Average Joe dropkicks Zaine’s legs out. Average Joe has Zaine set for the Average Slam. Zaine reverses into a small package. One…tw- easy kickout for Average Joe! Zaine shouts “I HAVE A CHILD!” again. Average Joe fires up the fans, runs the ropes and returns with BIG lariat! Cover, one…two…Zaine kicks out.

Johnny Suave: Billy Zaine started off fast early on but now it appears he’s hit an iceberg and he’s starting to tread water.

Colleen Crowder: What are you talking about?

Johnny Suave: I just have a sinking feeling this isn’t going to end well for Zaine.

Pumphandle slam by Average Joe and an Irish whip into the corner. Average Joe charges forward. Zaine grabs the ref and throws him in the way. Ref down. Zaine fights Average Joe off but charges right into a superkick! Cover…one…two…Zaine gets the shoulder up at 2.7.

Johnny Suave: Zaine is seriously listing now.

Colleen Crowder: You’re making references to the Titanic, aren’t you.

Average Joe drags Zaine up and plants him with the Average Slam. Cover…one…two…THREE!

*DING-DING-DING*

WINNER: Average Joe @ 3:02

Johnny Suave: Average Joe gets the win here on Extreme Political TV. That Average Slam literally broke Zaine in half and he floundered on the surface before his hopes sunk to the depths of the ocean.

Colleen Crowder: That’s oddly profound coming from you.

Post-match, Ken Worth and Brad Company hit the ring to celebrate with Average Joe. The child runs into the ring and kicks Zaine in the balls.

The referee spots something on the mat. He walks over and picks it up.

Close up- It’s a sparkly (and large) Heart of the Ocean necklace. He looks around and slips it in his pocket.

VIDEO: – The Kickoff of PCW’s 2012 Road Show Across America Tour. PCW Drama in Des Moines/Monday, January 3rd, 2012

The crowd chants, “PCW…PCW…PCW” as ‘The Voice of PCW’ Johnny Suave comes out.

Suave welcomes everyone to the start of PCW’s Road Show across America tour. Suave states tonight is the beginning of the long road to November’s PCW Extreme Election Night 2012.

Johnny Suave: The main event tonight is the Iowa Caucus Match which is going to be a wild free-for-all bunkhouse brawl match involving: ‘American Citizen’ Kevin Scott- representing Mitt Romney (R-MA), Farmer John- representing Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Magnum P.O.’d- Newt Gingrich (R-GA), Jim Schmidt- Ron Paul (R-TX), The Right Rev. Randy Richardson- Rick Santorum (R-PA), and Texas Jack- Rick Perry (R-TX)…

Suave says in one year it all begins again – the road to PCW Extreme Election Night 2020 – with Drama in Des Moines-Des Moines, Iowa Feb 3rd, 2020

Who’s officially in consideration to be the Progressive Alliance’s candidate for CEO: Cory Booker (NJ), Kamala Harris (CA), Julian Castro (TX), Tulsi Gabbard (HI), John Delaney (MD), Richard Ojeda (WV), former tech executive Andrew Yang (NY)

Who looking into being in: Elizabeth Warren (MA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Pete Buttigieg (IN)

Who’s thinking about being in: Former PCW COO Joe Biden, billionaire Michael Bloomberg (NY), Sherrod Brown (OH), Amy Klobuchar (MN), and Bernie Sanders (VT).

Colleen Crowder: Any one of the candidates, potential candidates would be a huge improvement on PCW CEO Donald Trump.

Suave then notes that Trump is definitely in for 2020. Who else may jump into the race on the American Patriots’ side? William Weld (MA), Bob Corker (TN), Larry Hogan (MD), and John Kasich (OH).

Colleen Crowder: And even one of these four would be an improvement on Trump.

Suave introduces a video from last night’s Blue Brand show in San Francisco, California.

VIDEO: Professor McCarthy speaks at PWF Blue Brand Show last night.

In the ring with his Flock (The Green World Order, The Young Jerks, Codee Pink, Emily S. List) Berkeley, California Professor McCarthy holds up the ‘good book that spells out what’s correct and incorrect’ and denounces the deal made to separate the Red and Blue Brands completely from PCW. McCarthy calls the action giving ‘the fox complete free rein of the hen house.’

Professor McCarthy: For too long, Dawn McGill has been rewarded for her bad behavior and her incorrect views and actions. We must use any means necessary to punish her to make clear to everyone that if you don’t say the things that are correct to say we will shout you down…if you don’t do the things that are correct to do we will shut you down. You will conform to the politically correct things in this book or we will destroy you.

McCarthy declares PCW must be shut down and brought back under the Political Universe umbrella because it’s being run by ordinary people (ie…McGill) and ordinary people need us…the enlightened…the elite…their betters…to speak for them…to tell them what they need to do…what to say…what to think…and what to believe.

Johnny Suave: And there you have left wing fundamentalism in action.

Colleen Crowder: This has nothing to do with religion. What Professor McCarthy says makes perfect sense. At least, that’s what our narrative says.

Johnny Suave: Only if you’re a Washington, D.C. insider beltway elitist okay with what the status quo was before.

=======================

HOWARD SCHULTZ SHOWS UPFormer Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz walks out on stage. Schultz tells the PCW fans he’s considering a run at becoming the next CEO as a ‘centrist’ independent. He explains he’s been a life-long supporter of the Progressive Alliance but when people look at both factions (American Patriots and the Progressive Alliance) people see extremes on both sides.

Howard Schultz: I want to see everyone win. I will be an independent person who will embrace those type of ideas because I’m not in bed with either side.

Schultz states he strongly disagrees with CEO Donald Trump on many issues but mainly, he feels people are exhausted with the extreme polarization between the factions.

Howard Schultz: Their trust has been broken. And they are looking for a better choice.

Schultz thanks the fans for their time and exits.

Crowder tells Suave this is a bad idea and his bid would draw people away from the Progressive Alliance working to Trump’s advantage.

Johnny Suave: Because having more choices is a bad thing?

Colleen Crowder: No. Because it increases the chances that Trump could get four more years as the CEO.

Johnny Suave: But if John Kasich did the same thing, you’d be okay with that.

Colleen Crowder: Yes. Because it-

Johnny Suave: …decreases the chances that Trump gets four more years.

Suave sends it backstage to Blair Moise.

REACTIONBlair Moise has an angry Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress.

Neera Tanden: If he enters the race, I will start a Starbucks boycott because I’m not giving a penny that will end up in the coffers of a guy who will help Trump win in 2020.

Tanden stomps off in a huff. Then there’s an eclipse…no, wait…it’s Michael Moore. Moore says the same thing. If Schultz gets into the race, he will call for a boycott of Starbucks as well stating an independent bid for CEO that will ‘split the support’ of the Progressive Alliance is not acceptable.

Johnny Suave: Again, because more viable alternative choices for CEO than what the American Patriots and the Progressive Alliance give us is a bad thing.

Colleen Crowder: If the end result is four more years of Donald Trump at the top- yes.

MATCH #2- The Sports Entertainment Corporation: P.M.C. Banks and Kirk Walstreit vs. Rick Beam- Country Club Pro w/Pool Boy Pete and Jack from State Barn Insurance’Party Wherever We Go (SEC Theme Song)- Robert Randolph and the Family Band

‘Sports Entertainment Genius’ Mr. McMann walks out first followed by Banks and Walstreit. The official ‘Mouthpiece of the SEC’ Phil Finebaum joins them…then ‘Charlie Wrestling’ Charlie Blackwell, ‘Hollywood Bad Boy’ Justin Beaver, ‘Hollywood Bad Girl’ Miley Vyrus, and ‘Pop Songstress’ Taylor Switt.

Phil Finebaum: My faction is better than your faction and the SEC is the best!

Walstreit walks around holding up a velvet painting of ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit.

Switt, of course, lugs her ever present guitar overfilled with white powder that leaves a trail behind her.

CSPN has their camera following every move the SEC makes.

Banks and Blackwell are the Political Universe Tag Team Champions. Blackwell faces ‘Red Solo Plastic Cup’ Ray McAvay next week at the D.C. Armory supershow for the Political Universe Title.

Johnny Suave: There’s a lot of internal turmoil going on with the SEC right now. Let’s see how things hold together in this match.

Ring Announcer Kimber Marshall introduces Beam, wearing a captain’s hat, dickey, and a suitable sports jacket, and Jack from State Barn Insurance, dressed in the usual red polo shirt and khaki pants, as both are already in the ring. Then she introduces the SEC.

*DING-DING*

Gordon Guyko: You used to be on the vanguard of the sports entertainment movement. You used to have a single-minded vision. And you’ve lost it.

The crowd erupts when the video screen shows the door to a dressing room in the back. A police escort is waiting at the door. One of the policemen knocks on the door.

Policeman: “Ms. Berg. It’s time.”

Colleen Crowder (voiceover): What do you mean it’s time? It’s time for what?

The door opens and eight male bodyguards walk out of the dressing room encircling a petite 95 pound woman and her male assistant in the middle. The woman, dressed in a smart, dark business suit and heels, is busy talking on her cell phone. The man furiously scribbles down notes as the group makes their way towards the ring.

Also following the procession to the ring, PCW veterans Big Oil and four time PCW Champion Yamamoto Tanaka.

Johnny Suave: THE PHENOMENON KNOWN AS-

The crowd is rocking and a chant of JILLLLLLLL-BERGGGGGG! JILLLLLLLL-BERGGGGGG! fills the arena.

Two of the bodyguards use a fire extinguisher to create a fog like effect as Jill walks through. Two others hold sparklers up in the air as she passes by.

Johnny Suave: JILL BERG IS HERE!

JILLLLLLLL-BERGGGGGG! JILLLLLLLL-BERGGGGGG!

Berg is helped into the ring and she shakes hands with Guyko.

Jill Berg: P.M.C. Banks. Kirk Walstreit. Welcome to JILL BERG ENTERPRISES!

Berg then turns to Charlie Blackwell and offers him a deal right there on the spot.

Johnny Suave: Berg is trying to poach Charlie Blackwell from the SEC?

Already incensed by the defections of Banks and Walstreit, ‘The Mouthpiece of the SEC’ Phil Finebaum pleads with Blackwell to turn her down flat.

Jill Berg: Well? We’re waiting.

Blackwell finally says no.

Berg shrugs. Banks and Walstreit attack Blackwell. Justin Beaver attacks Banks and Walstreit. Brief brawl until Big Oil clubs Beaver in the back…spins him upside down…spikes him with the Oklahoma Driller.

Johnny Suave: HOLY CRAP!

Beaver out on the mat. Tanaka wipes out Finebaum and McMann. Vyrus and Switt step back away from the carnage and wisely sit this one out.

Walstreit drags Blackwell to his feet…sets him up…and drops him with the Stock Market Plunge. Walstreit covers…Guyko makes the three count. Guyko snatches Blackwell’s Tag Team title belt and presents it to Kirk Walstreit.

Johnny Suave: And that is what you call a corporate takeover.

Colleen Crowder: Wait a minute. Where are the attorneys? Someone should be suing someone about this.

Jill Berg raises her hands in the air.

Crowder becomes irate and starts to argue with Chism. She refuses to leave. Chism simply tips the chair and causes Crowder to tumble off. Then he sits down.

Stone Chism: Johnny, I wanted to come down anyways and scout these two.

The CIA went to great lengths to make the Chinese like sissy

American male stars, however, are not so, most are tough style. In other words, the feminization of male stars is only a problem in East Asia, but not in The Entertainment industry in Europe and America.

So what accounts for this difference?

In fact, the origin of all this comes from the United States, and the beginning of the feminization of male stars is due to the establishment of an entertainment company in Japan in the 1980s -- Jenis & Associates. The company's founder is Kitagawa, who is responsible for the feminization of male stars in the entertainment industry in China, Japan and South Korea. But It wasn't Kitagawa alone. He managed to create the trend with the help of the Americans.

It all started in Japan after World War II.

After the defeat of the Second World War, Japan was the puppet of the United States in politics, economy and culture. However, the control of Japan by the United States was not so smooth at the beginning. At that time, there were two great powers in the world, the United States and the Soviet Union. Japan was also one of the wrestling fields for power between the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, the Soviet Union controlled the whole northern part of Japan, and the United States was at the beginning of the struggle in Japan.

After all, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, and American soldiers stationed in Japan after the war often oppressed the Japanese. So Japanese common people to the United States can be said to hate! In addition, the Soviet Union, in order to enhance its international influence, sent many Japanese prisoners of war back to The Japanese mainland and promoted socialism, so the Japanese people have a better impression of the Soviet Union than the United States.

However, the United States was not going to sit back and let the Soviet Union expand its influence in Japan, so the United States came up with a bold idea: to control the Japanese people in terms of ideology and public opinion, in order to make Japan away from the Soviet Union and closer to the United States.

The man who first came up with the idea was George Cannon, an American diplomat.

He suggested that the job of controlling Japanese public opinion should be left to "experts who understand Japan", and the answer is Japanese war criminals.

Because Japanese domestic intellectuals and officials were fanatical nationalists at that time, they could not help the United States and cooperate with the United States, but the war criminals who committed heinous crimes in World War II, their hands covered with blood, could only work for the United States in order to survive.

A CIA cable revealed the Americans' intentions:

On the left side of the telegram is a list of passwords and on the right are names. It can be seen that almost all the major Japanese media have been wooed by the United States, and many Class A war criminals of World War II are full of them. The war criminal Ogata Takeko, who once advocated for the September 18 Incident, escaped death penalty under the protection of the United States, and also served as the general manager of the Asahi Shimbun. Another war criminal, Masatotaro, who encouraged countless young people to invade China, also escaped punishment and was supported by the Americans to found Japan's largest newspaper, The Yomiuri Shimbun.

The United States not only pardoned them of their crimes, but also paid them a lot of money. These war criminals suggested to the United States: follow the popular line, brainwash the Japanese people with entertainment news, weaken the masculinity of the whole Japanese society through public opinion propaganda, to become flexible temperament, so as to reduce the aggressiveness of Japan, revolutionary. Gradually, the Japanese people will get close to The American culture and reduce their resistance to the United States.

Kitagawa was an important part of the American plan to change the masculinity of Japanese society. Although kitagawa is a Japanese name, he grew up in the U.S. and worked as a translator for the U.S. government. He also holds a U.S. passport. Also, Kitagawa was in a unit called the U.S. Advisory Corps, which was responsible for espionage and intelligence. Although Kitagawa has a Japanese face, he is loyal to the Americans, not the Japanese. Moreover, Kitagawa was a pedophile who preferred young, feminine boys until it was revealed that he had sexually abused male stars in his own company for a long time.

The first group that Kitagawa raised, the first show, was funded by the U.S. army, and at that time, Kitagawa discovered a lot of young boys who quickly took over the television entertainment market at the time. With the support of major Japanese media controlled by the war criminals, they quickly became popular and became a new force in the entertainment industry. Kitagawa, on the other hand, quickly became the godfather of fashion, dominating the Entire Japanese entertainment industry.

In 1995, a Japanese cosmetics brand invited the popular actor Takuya Kimura to shoot an advertisement for its new lipstick. In the whole advertising process, Kimura Takuya's gentle eyes and sexy smear, like a bomb in general caused an explosion in The Japanese female group, in two months, Kimura Takuya's endorsement of lipstick incredibly crazy sell 3 million!

Later, niangification spread from Japan to South Korea next door. At the beginning of its establishment, South Korea's SM company was imitating Japan's starmaking routine, looking for handsome and female boys everywhere and training them vigorously. In 1996, SM Korea also successfully launched the boy idol group H.O.T

HOT's great success in South Korea has led to more and more companies competing to imitate and launch more men's groups such as TVXQ and Super Junior. Their biggest common feature is comity, softness and female appearance.

Later, Japan and South Korea star trend also naturally blew to neighbors in China, China's entertainment companies see the business opportunities, also began to launch a large number of niang idol, they produce programs, packaging methods, propaganda means, completely copy Korea and Japan's performing arts companies.

Such as the early years of "Super girl", "happy boys" and so on, as well as before the fire of "idol Practice", the above mentioned CAI Xukun is this program out.

Therefore, in the entire Entertainment circle of Europe and the United States is still a tough man in charge of the time, China, Japan and South Korea's male stars are in a large area of feminization. While Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man are still popular in the US, the Chinese, Japanese and Korean screens are dominated by young actors.

If you go back a few decades, americans themselves might not have imagined how successful their cultural reinvention of Japan would be.

What are their idols like? Let's look at this video:

Like CAI Xukun this flow of fresh meat to acting acting, singing skills singing skills do not understand why suddenly fire? Who on earth is worshipping them?

Fan Chengcheng, fan Bingbing's younger brother, received 4.8 million views overnight for a paid selfie on his Micro blog. It can be seen that there are tens of thousands of Naocan fans behind each of these bitchies.

In the eyes of some fans, masculinity is just another word for vulgarity and brutality. They only know the pursuit of so-called "fashion, grade", the pursuit of the so-called exquisite life, do a quiet beautiful man, gradually forget that a real man should be indomitable.

A person wants to pursue the weak, that is his freedom, but once "sissy" becomes the mainstream of society, it will swallow the blood of the nation. The whole nation would risk re-entering the Opium wars and languishing in humiliation.

The transformation of China's womanhood fits into the CIA's strategy:

The CENTRAL Intelligence Agency of the United States formulated the ten Commandments, a guiding implementation plan for westernization, division and division of the new China and subversion of the Communist Party of China. After falling into the trap of the United States, these countries became weak states and even fell into war and destitution, which was the result the United States expected. Articles 2 and 3 read as follows:

Second, we must do everything possible to spread the word, including movies, books, television, radio waves... And the spread of new religions. As long as they aspire to the way we dress, feed, house, travel, entertain and educate, that's half the battle.

Third, they must divert the attention of their youth from the government-centered tradition. Focus their minds on sports shows, pornography, pleasures, games, criminal movies, and religious superstitions.

Liang Qichao said that when young people are strong, China is strong. If a country and a nation, boys more toward the feminine direction of development, then will bring the whole nation spirit.

The us plot to remake Japan with womanly culture has already affected China

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have advocated masculinity and warrior spirit. Today's China is so vast and abundant, because for thousands of years, our ancestors kept forging ahead and made contributions outside the region, so that our Chinese nation established the largest country in the East.

But in recent years, so-called "fresh meat" of all kinds has been filling the big screen, becoming the "new rich" on social media. Chinese aesthetics have changed, and many young people worship such "sissy" women. But all of this, it is very likely the United States cia secretly under the trap!

First, the culture of sissy gradually prevails

In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wudi launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Huns. General Wei Qing and Huo Qubing drove for thousands of miles, giving the Huns a devastating blow. Since then, the Han Dynasty has stood at the top of the world with its greatest momentum!

A sissy culture doesn't make history

After that, the Tang Dynasty also had a strong wind of military, annihilating the east and west Turks, crusade against Xue Yantuo, the expedition to Korea, so that the prestige of the Tang dynasty spread today. It can be said that the martial spirit is often the source of national power, and today China can have a vast territory, it is by virtue of this spirit.

But in recent years, more and more "little fresh meat" has flooded the Internet, newspapers and TV screens. These handsome, young men, over the age of 18, all call themselves "boys" rather than men. As they win the attention and admiration of young people, Chinese people's notions of how men should look and behave are also changing.

It may not be fair to equate "fresh meat" with "sissy," but there is nothing masculine or feminine about them. If the masses get used to this fashion, the martial spirit of the Chinese people may gradually die out.

Some people may think that this is a trend in the development of a pluralistic society. In contrast, in western countries, no young meat has become the public idol, "tough guy" is still the mainstream of the public worship object. It's safe to say that girly culture thrives only in East Asia.

Why are there no such cultural trends in more diverse Western countries? In fact, the root of all this comes from the United States, the CIA of the United States, deliberately let Japan have the phenomenon of male star feminization, and China is affected by this trend!

Second, The United States uses the feminine culture to reshape Japan

After World War II, Japan became a virtual puppet of the United States, but the memory of its brutal soldiers in the Pacific still makes Americans shudder. The transformation of Japan's national character becomes the key to whether the United States can completely control Japan.

The CIA racked their brains and came up with a solution. With the gradual introduction of television into every household, actors and actresses have become popular idols. A campaign to reduce the masculinity of Japanese society as a whole and to make it more "docile" could be made.

And what changed the whole masculinity of Japanese society was an important man named Johnny Kitagawa. He grew up in the United States and has an American passport. Although Kitagawa looks Japanese, he is loyal to the Americans as a translator for the U.S. army.

In the 1980s, Kitagawa suddenly founded an entertainment company, Jaynes & Associates. The company's first group, its first show, was financed by the U.S. military. Kitagawa discovered many good-looking young men, who quickly became popular and became a new force in the entertainment industry.

In 1995, a Japanese cosmetics brand invited the popular male star Takuya Kimura to shoot lipstick ads. Kimura Takuya sexy smudging and gentle eyes, in The Japanese women caused a strong shock, this lipstick in two months sold 3 million!

Later, this feminine culture spread to South Korea, where SM companies imitated The Japanese way of making stars, looking for comely and feminine boys everywhere. In 1996, the South Korean boy band H.O.T debuted and became so successful that other entertainment companies imitated it. In the end, all South Korean boy bands are the same thing -- delicate, effeminate, known as sissy. The trend has spread to China as Chinese trainees at South Korean entertainment companies return home. Chinese local entertainment companies, recognizing the business opportunity, also began to launch a large number of niang idols, their packaging methods completely copied South Korea and Japan. At this point, Japan and South Korea screen, gradually occupied by small fresh meat!

Third, the female sex culture should be vigilant

If we go back a few decades, perhaps even Americans themselves did not think that their cultural transformation of Japan would be so successful that it could even affect the eastern powers.

The toughness of the Chinese soldiers

The CIA has what are called ten Commandments, of which number two and three read:

2, to do everything possible to do a good job of communication, including movies, books, television, as long as they look forward to our clothing, food, housing, travel, entertainment and education, is half the battle.

3. Divert the attention of their youth from tradition and concentrate their minds on sports shows, pleasures, games, entertaining films, etc.

A nation without martial spirit is bound to be submerged by external forces; A nation without a martial spirit will surely lag behind The Times. The prevalence of sissy culture greatly affects young people, and we need to be vigilant!
