“Wrestling isn’t that deep”

You’re right, but you also aren’t the one referencing every little wrestling bit, segment, detail, etc in your every day life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Roddy + Adam being wet cats post-match from PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 21: You Know We Don't Like to Use the Sit Down Gun, 09/06/2015

[possibly the sweatiest GIFs I have ever made. Also: Adam flopping dramatically to the floor? Roddy wordlessly checking in on him with the thumb pressed tight against his arm? The two of them (though with Adam of course taking the lead) pointing and plotting against Tommy End? Love it.]

How wrestling taught me something important

Okay, I want to let you all know right now this is going to talk about some pretty bad people, I’ll explain as we go along but I want to warn you now. We are living in a time where it seems like we’re just expecting our childhood heroes to end up being horrible people and it fucking sucks, so if you’d let me I’d like to teach you a lesson I was taught a while ago using wrestling for examples.

As my starting point with writing was the old smackdown vs raw games I became aquatinted with Chris Benoit and then I began to look at his WCW and new Japan work. And then I learned about 2007, if you don’t know what happened just look it up. One of the biggest debates in the wrestling community I remember for a while was if Benoit was innocent, but now I genuinely don’t think it matters. What can be done? Who could do anything? But even after learning what happened, I still find inspiration from his work. That somewhat leads to the example I have.

Jimmy havoc is undoubtedly a piece of shit and the speaking out movement was a good thing for wrestling. Fuck him and everything he stands for, that being said I’ve also been binge watching progress wrestling and jimmy is heavily tied to its early days. I got really invested in his arc from chapter 2 to regression to teaming with mark Haskins even knowing what I know now. Because that’s what got me hooked on progress. How do I feel comfortable with that? The company cut ties with him so he’s not being supported and that’s the key thing to remember

You don’t condone the now, you miss the then. Feel no shame for mourning the loss but do not try to carry the corpse of then because you will only empower the now

Have your heroes, hold them close, but be ready for them to die

progress chapter 169

Hey folks who are at all interested by indie wrestling: Cara Noir recently sustained a pretty serious injury during his cage match in Progress Chapter 151. It is: not healing. What with NHS waiting lists, there’s a chance that he won’t make a full recovery without private medical care. Hence: a gofundme. It’s on the PlayFight London Instagram and I’m going to put it in a reblog below.

This is not a hate post, but listen:

WWE was made to feel like the ONLY option since it technically was for so long, so people believe if you’re not in WWE then your career means nothing. But now there’s an alternative doing just as well, if not better, and people cannot handle the fact the business has changed for the better.

Both companies are thriving (although I wished WWE would start speaking up about the Vince/H/etc BS). Otherwise, they’re both thriving!

Talent is being made left and right and that’s what I want to see.

I am a Support-All-Pro-Wrestling type, but when a company is being slandered for changing the biz for the better, I will stand up for it. I’ve done it for WWE, TNA, PROGRESS, etc.

I am loyal to no company though. Just the talent.
