"Your next line is: Is this a JoJo reference?"

Like most J-Stars gags, this really relies on knowing both series’ involved. But this exchange still made me laugh…

[alienaiver]

Ooooooooohhh. Can I have your headcanons about Present Mic? *blushing face*

yes YES YES you sure can !!!! i hope i do the beloved man justice <333

Songs on his iPod: yamada is EVERYWHERE. he goes from jazz to rock to pop in a span of few songs. i added the ones he jams to the most that gears him up for long days! supermassive black hole - muse innocent arrogance - BiSH bling-bang-bang-born - creepy nuts can't hug every cat remix - the gregory brothers and cara hartmann

The one place they fall asleep – where they’re not supposed to: he often falls asleep in the teacher's lounge. having three jobs is demanding, okay! its a problem though, bcos it's always during lunch, where students come by to borrow keys to classrooms/clubrooms and advice for english midterms, so the door's open. more students than he can count has pictures of him leaned back in his desk chair, with his mouth open, quirk accidentally activated as he snores. aizawa sometimes uses his quirk instead of waking him up, because he knows how much he overworks himself.

he thinks it's UNBELIEVABLE that his precious students are more interested in him sleeping where he shouldn't than his colleauge and friend, aizawa. aizawa argues his gimmick of sleeping at every given opportunity is old news to everyone. however, the lively teacher? more exciting.

The game they’d destroy everyone else at: with his lips scrunched up towards his nose and a heavy air of concentration around him, he will turn ANYONE to dust that challenges him in J-star victory VS. it doesnt even matter which character he plays as or against, he will end you.

The emoticon they’d use most often: 🏎 he uses it to relay that he's on his way wherever (to work, plans, etc) to colleagues and friends. he thinks his beat-down car really is a race car.

What they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: even more energetic, which no one thinks possible. he never really gets enough sleep, so that's just his baseline, actually.

Their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights or mornings: caramel latte. he needs the sugar on top of the caffeine.

How they like to comfort/care for themselves in a slump: hes a bad boy, because he doesn't. he just pushes on, ignoring all the warning signs until he absolutely crashes and burns. then, hes in the dumps for a week or so, his friends and you bringing him food and support. then he bounces back, pretending it never happened. one day, you'll get properly through to him.

What they wanted to be when they grew up: formula 1 driver. hence, the type of car

Their favorite kind of weather: storms! typhoons, especially. if his ma' asks, hes OF COURSE never went outside during one!!!!

Thoughts on their singing voice: he sings like an absolute angel. he's able to do falsetto gorgeously too, and getting him to sing lullabies before bed is like a heavenly blessing bestowed upon you, and always guarantees the perfect sleep.

How/what they like to draw or doodle: EVERYTHING. he draws cats, stars, random shapes, whatever theres in the room with him (windows/curtains, chairs, chalkboards). hes quite an artist

GOSH I LOVE HIM SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

send me a character and ill fill out these headcanons

J-STARS Victory VS (2014年3月19日)

[that-spider-fan-over-there]

Okay it's not a prediction just things I'm hoping for in the BNHA chapters. Yes I'm aware these might not happen lemme hope-

If this is not my last post for the next (looks at clock) five-six hours you have the right to time me out- /j (... /hj the hyperfixation is real-).

A chapter titled "Deku and Kacchan" or "Izuku and Katsuki". Alternatively: Deku vs. Kacchan 3, but they're sparring for fun and we don't find out who won the match.

A parallel to "Shigaraki Tomura: Distortion" where the hands he hugs are gripping tightly on him while he's crying trying to get out.

OH IT COULD BE "SHIMURA TENKO: REBIRTH" OR "SHIMURA TENKO: RISING"

Tenko holding Izuku's hand, and when it looks like it'll disentegrate again, he unlocks the other half of his Quirk, stopping the decay.

Have said it before but: Callback to Chapter 76 where Izuku is about to be taken by the hands and then the moments where everyone asks him to do his best motivate him and he gains the strength to pull Tenko away from them.

Katsuki's vestige showing up from AFO trying to use his death as something to make Izuku snap. Bonus if this time the mf knows he's tied to OFA and remembers it somehow I need him to know Izuku is insane about him.

Ideal scenario for me (keywords: FOR ME) would be a combo of the latter two

The Todoroki family surrounding Touya in his hospital room; with Shoto at the door- only for them to invite him in while they wait for him to wake up.

Himiko and Ochako in the same room while receiving blood transfusion. Ochako still offers her pulse to Himiko. It's not a fully confirmed romantic relationship start, but it's their start nonetheless.

Shirakumo/Kurogiri to be alive and get a second chance please he's been trapped in his mind for 13 years (also show that he aged and is 30 I am not kidding when I say if he's 17 I will have an aneurysm-)

One more Mirio appearance in this battle please I want to see what he's doing he's the one who found out Tenko's still there let him see the whimsy be born.

All Might gets hugs from Izuku. I just think he deserves it. Also from Katsuki. From all of Class 1-A, really.

UA does a festival by the time Japan is finishing rebuilding the places destroyed by AFO. Or an amusement park (this one's for Izuku specifically XD)

No monuments, no rankings, no special titles like "Symbol of Peace", "Victory", "Hope", "Salvation", none of that, at least as official titles. They're humans, not gods. Pro-heroes as a job could still exist, I feel they probably wouldn't continue most of the celebrity aspect of it due to the consequences it brought.

Just a little more info on the OFA users + that letter.

Toshinori and Tenko trying to talk normally. It'd be bittersweet, awkward and I think Nana would've been happy to see them talking if she was alive-

And last, but not least, TWIN STARS ROPPONGI AGENCY PLEASE-

[azurewildflight]

An OC collab I did a bit ago using this image from the game J-Stars Victory Vs+

I really enjoyed be able to see the characters in their respective styles next to each other, to me it gave that sense of extra authenticity that they had come straight from their respective series

Here are the results

Thanks to @murkywater-art and @the-c41n-instinct for lending a hand in this creation, love y’all’s work

Might do something like this again in the future

[mehdrawsansezuvu]

Ink!Sans Won! As expected.. -.-

Fell!Sans: Huh? what the fuck do you want. A popular sans AU poll? i know about it. Eh- It i dont care about it. But if i win something i win it. SO YOU BETTER VOTE FOR ME SO I FEEL VICTORIOUS. >:C

(geez fell- O.O)

Blue!Berror: Oh! Hello hu-hu-hu-human! :D im just lo-looking at the star-SERRRRS, care to j-OIN? no? wh-wh-wh-what for? :c. O-OH! the tumblr's popular sans au poll's? ye-yeah i-'VE heard about it. what about it? W-HAT-T-T-T-T?! IM IN IT?! W-W-W-WOW-WOWZERS! LOOKS LIKE THE EVIL AND MAGNICENT BLU- *crash* BERROR IS GONNA WIN!

[jerktournament]

The Tumblr Jerk Tournament Bracket...

...has dropped. I put all my love towards these assholes into it.

Seeded according to uhhhhh "my brain thinks these sources allign in same genre or medium, and if not, then it's because I think the characters have similar themes in some way in my brain". Contestants all chosen by YOU (+ Palpalymo, for diversity /j).

Polls: TBA. Once I finish making them all and draft them, I'll make an announcement.

There's no right or wrong criteria for who to vote here because trying to establish that via Tumblrpoll is useless. You can vote for someone because they're your favorite, because their propaganda swayed you, because they look cool, or because they're the meanest. Just think: Do You Want Them To Emerge Victorious? Or are they such an ass you'd delight in seeing them get swept?

I highly encourage taking the time to read some propaganda. These guys have lots of love behind them.

And last but not least, be nice to other people on the internet. These polls may be for asshole characters, but that gives you no right to be an asshole back. Anything attacking the fans or fandom of a character will get taken out via my sniper team.

Thanks for your patience and let the whooping begin.

[denimbex1986]

'July is witnessing an influx of big budget releases. From Bollywood’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani to Hollywood’s Mission Impossible: The Dead Reckoning Part One, Barbie and Oppenheimer, cinephiles are spoilt for choice.

You’ve probably heard of the massive box office clash between Barbie and Oppenheimer, but have you heard of Barbenheimer?

It’s a rapidly growing pop culture internet phenomenon where instead of pitting the two films against each other in online debates, people have turned it into a double feature, discussing the best order to watch the two films on the same day.

So far, there is a clear order, as dictated by internet culture led by several discussion threads — first watch Oppenheimer, a serious and intense story, and then Barbie, a light-hearted film to neutralise the heaviness of the former. But the debate around the ‘correctness’ rages on!

If only the world could agree on things this easily every day!

Barbie tells the story of the world famous eponymous doll who is expelled from Barbie Land and enters the real world with Ken on a journey of self-discovery. The fantasy comedy film is expected to be light, funny, frivolous and all-things-pink.

On the other hand, Oppenheimer is a biographical drama that chronicles the story behind the world’s first atom bomb and its creator Robert J Oppenheimer who invented it during World War 2.

Completely contrasting themes, right?

That’s what led to a memefest on social media with users comparing the two films, different in their genres and tonality. Over months, this has emerged into one united online phenomenon — Barbenheimer, where people are no longer pitting these vastly different films against each other and instead preparing themselves to watch both films on the same day in the best order possible.

What could be a Barbie Vs Oppenheimer fan war has instead brought fans of both worlds together, who will now end up watching a film other than the genre they prefer. In the end, it is a victory for cinema.

This meme culture has driven thousands of people to book their tickets in advance to not miss out on the Barbenheimer craze. It’s a moment in history where two distinctly different films with an equally strong starcast have received an equal amount of love from fans.

After years of watching franchises take over theatres, the Barbenheimer meme culture comes as a breath of fresh air for movie lovers. It gives them an opportunity to take a break from the Marvel-fication of cinema with fans feeling pressured to keep up with every series or movie release in order to stay updated with their favourite cinematic universe. It’s a constant and tiring pursuit of content that aims to serve itself more than its fans.

Oppenheimer is the first script Christopher Nolan wrote in first person to tell the story from Robert J Oppenheimer’s perspective. Despite its serious and dark tone, people are excited to see Nolan back in action with a stellar star cast of Cillian Murphy (who plays the titular role), Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek and Kenneth Branagh.

The marketing campaign for Oppenheimer has been fairly simple — regular press interviews with Cillian Murphy and a few with Robert Downey Jr. The biggest splash was perhaps a picture of John Krasinski with the film’s cast that started trending on social media.

However, Barbie’s theme and marketing strategy is in sharp contrast with Oppenheimer.

As compared to Oppenheimer’s minimalistic campaign, Barbie went all out. Microsoft and Xbox collaborated for a pink Dreamhouse style gaming console, Hot Wheels launched a pink Corvette Stingray and AirBnB created a life-size pink mansion to celebrate the movie. For promotional tours, Margot Robbie wore several outfits inspired by old and new Barbie dolls.

Mattel clearly went all out to reclaim the colour pink and crown Barbie as its sole queen.

They took something as simple and frivolous as a kids’ doll and turned it into a point of curiosity. Hence, despite having a ton of promotional material, we still don’t know what Barbie is actually about.

All we know is that it stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferell, Kate McKinnon and is directed by Greta Gerwig — the same person who directed Little Women. That’s enough to tell us Barbie won’t be a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. It’ll probably address something deeper, given Gerwig’s talent.

Memes usually follow a film, driving curiosity AFTER its release. In the case of Barbenheimer, it’s driving people to theatres in hordes, a beautiful sight to behold after ages and a reminder of the power of internet culture in controlling the film economy.

I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely a Barbenheimer girl!'

JDV.

Here they brought it to the chariot, the empress and the star. Though these names don’t really do it justice and it’s better left solely with letters. Truly a blessed experience by nature. Rich air, soothing scent, soft wind, nature releasing it’s breath. Gratitude. Endorphines swimming in perfection.

While on the walk. Thoughtd went back to my addition by Cyrillic and the numbering and placements of the И card Vs. The Г card and it isnt something that seems ideal, if saint George is killing the dragon. When the russian patron saint has it’s story in saving a princess from being sacrificed by her own people to please the tyrants demands for the mundane promise of sinful material treasure. With the dragon as it is with the dove shows the И card to be rather malevolent and bot at all of godly virtue. Unless it’s focus is solely on letter E and not the earlier card Г. Though it doesn’t go that far back. And the dragon and the dove fits the empress beautifully and pure. But, since it goes right pass and kills the petulant fool letter E before it reaches the princess card Ё. And maybe perhaps it be best not to make her into the feminine equivalent of letter E.

Considering princess Yekaterina aided the Empress Catherine the great. Who expanded the russian country by a large margin.

Saint George the Martyr is one of the most venerated Christian saints and the patron of Russia. In Russia, the cult of Saint George arrived in the 11th century. The earliest known depiction of the Saint dating from the 12th century appears in the frescos cycle St George’s Church in Staraya Ladoga.

The hagiography of St George tells a story of his victory over the monstrous dragon who demanded human victims, and his rescue of Princess Elisaba from death. The saint is portrayed sitting on a rampant horse with a flying scarlet cloak flying behind his shoulders.

A fun notion is basing off the facts that letter А and letter И both mean and. Save that A means a contrasting and for the purposes of adding something to but of differing quality or nature. Though i’m still not able to fully utilize it. Without stumbling. If the И card is to be contrasted to the A card being of feminine nature. Its not a farcry from the И card also representing a feminine body-though without needing to alter saint george in anyway- here in this instance as princess Yekaterina vs, the petulant emperor. Though, i’m slightly worried here considering her first name starts with letter E(ye) and she crowned it with too dots. The issue here is that her actions have left her to be banished more than once, and even injured in a sword duel. So the arguement remains to depict her as a fool card on par with the french’s fool. Her having been enamoured with the french language only adds weight… Not that im calling her fat.

But im just talking in circles over my initial placing and figuring. Before i found any of these extra facts. And seeing how this is so, speaks that it’s a valid choice already in motion. And that i just picked up on it. With my super psychic powers.

Unfortunately, it seems I’m only ever going to be alone in a hostile world.

Hahah её means her. That paints the story. Petulant her walks up to the crown. Take sit and passes it over the hierophant. And don’t be a него. Heroes die. Be a bitch. Though may need to change the j on the И card and replace it with a T.

Maybe not. But as we continue. Io. The first priestess of hera. Turned into a heifer. A cow. Specifically a virgin cow. Zeus’ love. But whom didn’t he love? Which is synominous with the constellation Andromeda at base level. Mercury was sent to slay Argos the being in hera’s charge. Curious to mention as io is one of the forms given before letter ё was established. Pronounced the same, yo. This story is also link by as “fairytale” as saint George killing the dragon. As i look upon the 15th century illustratioms which apparently gave birth to the modern tarot. It being full of useful “archetypes” missing in the decks.

The curiosity of calling a woman a cow in this modern western culture is synominous with getting your balls ripped off. But why? Because you fat, stupid, prey for beast hemmed in a cag waiting to be slaughtered? Even though some cultures worship the “cow” above human life. And it also being the faunic symbol for the first growth of spring and fruit flowers. This coincidentally happened to be a subject of discourse today. Coming from the effeminate foreigner and a Quebecer today. Calling a woman a cow here is not a good idea it’s not a term of endearment. These various image fantasies all come together, perhaps, in aiding in pictorializing letter ё to be outside a sole attribution to the negative feminist association. Of dethroning the masculine position.

And of went the brilliancy so far of the russian alphabet has at dispelling the curses of the western mind.

Unfortunately i don’t know how to talk to women. Ive never learned. There is no setting of crossing someone in public that will avail to anything other than a fleeting moment. Most times as been set ups anyway. And in the natural cases. Im too bashful or avoidant. Opportunities have been stolen from me these last several years. Too much. Tired time for bed. Cause its a life of eternal solitude drawning in misinformation and a sore ass and srupid fucken riddles tomwaste my time on. I dont think im sleeping tonight. Back to work in the morning to continue to be manipualtrs and fucked eith by fucking assholes. Yay to not allowd havign a life and being treates thisnway my entire fucken life. And fuck the tarot i give up. Cheers to a life of not having. Any memelries of other peopels not putting themselves over me with joy of superiority. I was born in hell. For the last several years they just act like fycken retards playing some inteligenve complex on me as if i was in their position thinking im smarter than them. The whole fucken comunity of fucken criminal assholes wnjoying fucken with me cause their fucken evil. Inhope russin and china nuke the entire fucken planet maybe ill

Lose my minf go on a fuckem killign spread. Thats all peopel

Ive been through all the ups and downs ofnit. Its all onknow. I dont want to be alive anymor e if you dadist fucken cocksucker are tryiong to force me to go queer atleats hook me yo with a guy. Otherwise whats the fucken point. A bi guy like me. Becaus eof history. Wants nothing to do with it. Im not going to survive much longer. Id have to take estrogen therapy or some shit.

Cheers to beign abused into commiting suicide.

And the only way thats going to happen is if im a stay at on wife. Other wise. It aint gonna work. Ive considered it over the last couoke decades but ive always kept true. Is this the kind of shit you guys want to hermar to satisfy your sadism? How many more years am i going ot be framed up for this dhit.

This is all i know since ficken childhood. Stip fucken hurting me. Jesus fuck your mothers. Jesus should have fucked your fathers a long time ago noe of yoy would be alive right now. Unorthodox cheistianity. Jesus fuck.

Guess im not allowed learning how to live on my own. Leanring how to nabigate the world. How to talk to people. How to be open and honest and not defensive. I havent had a genuine time with anyone for most of my life. Just evil fucken sadist setting me up to fail. Decade after decade.

Hope i am rectum cancer.

But i have tomprove a point and be a stupid fuxken saint my entire family does nothign but create shame on their own fucken name. Stupid asshoels. Elts mix the mames war and saint and be incompitant retards. Maybe after a hmag myswlf ill wake uo

CORE presents The Co-Op 2023 - Update #01

In this first update, we will announce the full cards taking place on night one of the CORE Co-Op 2023 taking place on March 30th 2023 from the Pico Union Project in Los Angeles, California. Updates and full card announcements for our events taking place on March 31st, April 1st, and April 2nd will follow.

TrustBusters: Answer The Call

In the opening bout, Ari Daivari’s former tag team partner Invictus Khash will compete against New Japan STRONG stand out and one of the most improved wrestlers in recent years, Fred Rosser.

When Ari Daivari sold Parker Boudreaux’s contract to Swerve Strickland, Daivari claimed Boudreaux would still be a “TrustBuster for life.” Ari makes good on that promise as Parker Boudreaux and his Mogul Affiliates stablemate Trench will team up to take on west coast tag team pro wrestling stalwarts Reno Scum, Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend.

Ari Daivari has recently associated himself with Tony Nese and “Smart” Mark Sterling, leading some to question his connection to The TrustBusters, regardless Tony Nese will look to put his talents on display against a wrestler poised to have a breakout 2023, Michael Oku.

Swerve Strickland squares off against the mercurial Lio Rush in their first singles match in almost three years. The two were set to grapple last year for the TERMINUS office before Lio withdrew from the contest.

The TrustBusters are looking to settle some unfinished business against Team Filthy. It was in non-tournament action at night two of CORE’s 2022 Trios Kingdom tournament when The TrustBusters debuted their newest member DJ Karl Fredericks. Fredericks had attacked and disguised himself as Team Filthy member Black Tiger before turning on his partners to side with the TrustBusters. Wrestling politics prevented Team Filthy from getting their revenge on DJ Karl and The TrustBusters. But with Karl Fredericks’ recent departure, The TrustBusters team of Sonny Kiss, Slim J, and JeeVeS K will go head to head with the Team Filthy trio of Tom Lawlor, Jorel Nelson, and Royce Isaacs.

And in the main event, Ari Daivari will be adding another chapter to his critically acclaimed and highly competitive series of matches with Anthony Greene.

Masakatsu Funaki's The Quest

Masakatsu Funaki presents The Quest. All matches on this card will be competed under traditional Pancrase rules. Closed fists, elbow strikes, and stomps are banned. Each participant starts the fight with five points, points are lost due to knockdowns or rope escapes, if a competitor is left with zero points they lose by TKO. Fighters will have a ten count to get back to their feet after any knockdown.

Our opening contest will see MMA veteran, most famous for his victory (despite what the history books may say) over CM Punk, Mike “The Truth” Jackson (not to be confused with 73 year old professional wrestler Mike Jackson,) battle it out with amateur mixed martial artist, professional wrestler, and recently debuted professional boxer, Bobby “Bobby Fish” Fish.

The next match will be between notorious behind the scenes pro-wrestling tough guy Cinta de Oro putting on a fight in front of the curtain this time against seasoned MMA fighter turned professional wrestler Blake Troop.

The third match features AEW wrestling star, judo black belt, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner Tay Melo going toe to toe against the current Just Tap Out Queen of JTO champion, STARDOM competitor, and lifetime karateka, Tomoka Inaba.

Next, two veteran wrestlers with an established appreciation for the catch wrestling style and the history of having competed in legendary and highly influential Japanese combat sport promotions (Pancrase and UWFi respectively) will clash as TAKA Michinoku takes on Little Guido.

The semi-main event is a battle of two current AEW wrestlers with very impressive resumes. In one corner you will see Jake Hager, NCAA All-American college wrestler, hat enthusiast, and undefeated MMA fighter. In the opposite corner, NCWA National Champion and four time NCWA All-American, Josh Woods.

And in the huge main event, in a match that you could never see anywhere else, pro-wrestling and mixed martial arts legend Masakatsu Funaki will go one on one with Olympic freestyle wrestler Jeff Cobb.

JUST TAP OUT Professional Wrestling

CORE has partnered with the JUST TAP OUT Professional Wrestling office to present a showcase event for the JUST TAP OUT organization. JUST TAP OUT was founded by TAKA Michinoku in 2019 and features graduates from the JTO dojo and a select group of freelancers. While most matches are held under traditional rules, ranking matches and King of JTO and Queen of JTO title matches are held under a special set of JTO rules. In these matches (of which there will be two on this card) there are no pinfalls, matches can only end by Knockout, Tap Out, referee stoppage, or TKO. TKOs are based on a three point system, each wrestler begins with three points and they will lose points for rope escapes, a deliberate escape from the ring, or “foul play” as determined by the referee’s discretion. Under these rules, championship bouts have a 30 minute time limit while ranking matches have a 15 minute time limit.

In the opening contest, top US independent prospects Nick Wayne and Kenzie Paige will team against rhythm and Jatap-kun. The masked rhythm is one of the earliest graduates known for her dynamic offense and she will be teaming with Jatap-kun, a mascot like figure for JTO who displays a surprising skill at technical wrestling.

Up next, a young lion from the JTO dojo known for his fast developing striking skills and submission wrestling prowess named Akira Juumonji will face off with high flying lucha based dojo graduate Eagle Mask.

Following that will be a JTO Girls tag match featuring graduates of the same dojo class and frequent tag partners Misa Kagura and Sumika Yanagawa teaming up to battle it out with top JTO prospect Aoi and her partner, former standout performer in Tokyo Joshi Pro and STARDOM before recently becoming a freelancer, Unagi Sayaka.

Another tag match will follow as potential future JTO ace Ren Ayabe, who towers over most opponents at 6’7” and has already drawn the attention of the All Japan Pro Wrestling office, teams up with fan favorite Fire Katsumi, another top prospect who made an impressive if unsuccessful challenge in January for Yasu Urano’s King Of JTO crown. Their opponents will be JTO head TAKA Michinoku who will team with his Just 4 Guys stablemate Taichi.

In the semi-main event, the Queen Of JTO championship will be on the line as twenty year veteran of the joshi wrestling scene and former Queen of JTO Yuu Yamagata will look to reclaim the top spot when she challenges JTO ace and current Queen of JTO Tomoka Inaba, who western fans have recently seen break out in the STARDOM promotion as part of Syuri’s God’s Eye faction.

In our main event, former two time King Of JTO the powerhouse Ryuuya Takekura will challenge the man who dethroned him, veteran of the Japanese independent scene, longtime cornerstone of the DDT promotion, and current King Of JTO Yasu Urano.  

JUST TAP OUT Professional Wrestling 01. rhythm and Jatap-kun vs. Nick Wayne and Kenzie Paige 02. Akira Juumonji vs. Eagle Mask 03. Misa Kagura and Sumika Yanagawa vs. Aoi and Unagi Sayaka 04. Ren Ayabe and Fire Katsumi vs. TAKA Michinoku and Taichi 05. Queen Of JTO: Tomoka Inaba (Champion) vs. Yuu Yamagata 06. King Of JTO: Yasu Urano (Champion) vs. Ryuuya Takekura

Senior Division Slam-O-Rama

The final event of the opening night of The Co-Op 2023 will be the Senior Divison Slam-O-Rama, a showcase event for CORE’s innovative senior division. For those new to CORE, the Senior Division, presented by Medicare Coverage Helpline, is open to wrestlers 50 years of age and over and to limit the risk of prolonged physical exertion all matches can be won by a two count.

The opening contest will see two of the oldest active wrestlers in the world go at it as 73 year old Mike Jackson (not to be confused with MMA fighter Mike "The Truth" Jackson,) takes on 76 year old Sheepherder Luke.

The next match will be senior division women’s action as the legendary Aja Kong meets Sumie Sakai, whose retirement tour continues with this bout.

In a match over twenty years in the making, having split their previous two matches, we will finally have our decisive third match. No cages. No Bischoff, No excuses. Jeff Jarrett vs. David Arquette III.

On November 10th, 2022, Masakatsu Funaki lost his GHC National Championship to El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. On March 30th 2023, Funaki will look to get some measure of revenge in senior division action against the father of the current GHC Champion, Dr. Wagner Jr.

In what should likely be a very exciting six-man senior tag team contest, Curry Man will team with the original Psicosis and Damien 666 against the team of Great Sasuke, Tiger Mask IV, and Ultimo Dragon.

Closing out the evening will be a rare treat, a singles match between unquestionably two of the greatest and most beloved wrestlers in the history of lucha libre. Blue Panther vs. El idolo de los Niños, Atlantis!
