If TK is gonna bring Phil back then at least throw the Elite girlies a bone and give creative theming control of Fyter Fest back to Kenny so we can have our night of campy fun gaming nerdiness back 🥺🥺🥺

headcanons that nobody asked for about my wrestling blorbos under the cut hehoo 🌈

any character i like is queer and/or ND in my head lmao but heres a few people i have proper thoughts on

NJPW

Hiromu: autistic polyam king, neither cis or het, queer queer queer

El Desperado: dealt with self worth issues and depression since he debuted on the main roster, got better in the last few years tho :)

unfortunately in love with Hiromu - gender doesnt play a role in his attraction, not big on labels

Jay White: smug disaster gay, *slaps his head* this bad boy can fit so many mental issues in it, sooo insecure and masks it all till he can't anymore, calls himself King SWITCH so imma take that literal-

No but really i have a lot of thoughts about Jays motivations, in my reading he feels like the only way to make it in njpw as a gaijin is if you disregard the rules, fans and opinions of others - he's deeply afraid of everything he did to even be a wrestler having been pointless, he may cheat to get to his goal but a title is a title, the ultimate proof of his sacrifice having been worth it.

Juice Robinson: genuinely thought about giving up on wrestling, i don't buy his 'haha i tricked u all' explanation, he either reached out to BC or — the spicier take :)c — Jay reached out to him:

He knows how its like to be at rockbottom, feeling like everythings pointless. (his post WK15 promo) The guys Jay was in the dojo with were/are people he genuinely cared about (i could bring up counless examples), so he couldnt sit by and watch Juice throw his shot away

KENTA & Naito both gimme "bastard dad that constantly messes and jokes around but actually deals with a lot of depression and anxiety and whenever he (in the most unexpected moments) brings it up it gives you whiplash, feels like forbidden lore" vibes; they are very similar and i love them a lot, ive written about that before here

also Kenta and Shibata are bitter exes

ELP: bi adhd DUMBASS. with more depth than u would think, dreads all his sacrifice not paying off in the end, similar to Jay, thats generally my theme for Bullet Club, if these dudes weren't so toxic they could be a great support system for one another

Robbie Eagles: bi nerd with the worst taste in men lmao, Ospreay's his ex, him and ELP are whatever the hell they are, obsessed definitely - ive written about them a bit here and here

BUSHI: transmasc genderfluid dude :)

Miho Abe & ZSJ: are whatever makes you fall in love with the trash emperor, they both date TAICHI

Kota Ibushi: adhd/autistic mlm king. okay no but genuinely i have so many feelings about Ibushis struggle to fit in, to do as others expect of him, being the weird one - i can relate to that so much it makes me cry

LIJ group dynamic:

Shingo and Naito are bastard brothers that annoy each other on purpose, Sanadas the younger brother both get along with

Naito and Bushi are parental figures for Hiromu, based on Naito being Takahashis mentor and Hiromu literally describing Bushi with お母さん, mother.

Shingo is Hiromus loud scary uncle, Sanada is his cool quiet uncle

Naito and Bushi are married.

also a few aedub thoughts:

all of BCC is autistic.

Kingston has adhd.

HOOK is autistic, non verbal most of the time, uses sign language.

the whole roster's queer good for them good for them (except the ones i dont like.)

my Danhausen thoughts!

EDIT: i forgot Ricky, Ricky Starks is autistic

idk that's it, i dont have many HCs for aew so far lol

[leaveharmony]

Fellas is it petty to check ppl who’ve rejected trades to see if they’re still struggling to get rid of what I asked for after I’ve got it and laugh when they do tho

Oh I’m so sorry GOSH it looks like you’re still shopping that Tana around huh?  Wow I see you don’t have all your Naitos still!  Funny, cos I have all my Tanas!  It’s almost as if when someone offers you a Naito you lack on a plate you should idk, maybe accept it instead of rejecting hoping you can get it for cheaper (you can’t) or sitting on the trade for two and a half days even tho you’ve logged in within two hours, you naughty thing, or you might just end up with *sushi zanmai pose* Nothing!  Protip: literally nobody is going to trade you a fucking Naito 2 Belts, especially on their own initiative.  Good luck finding a home for that though!  There are lots of us but the ones who have what it’s worth get ‘em fast! 👋

(actually ‘accept a sold out Naito’ if it’s offered’ is kinda a golden rule tbh because regardless of whether you care about him or not, Naitos are the #1 most useful keys-to-the-kingdom for basically anything you want, including in rare cases, other Naitos.  I’m always anxious when I don’t have a reserve Naito cos 9 times outta 10 that’s where my next Tana is coming from.  2nd place I’d say are Hiromus, non-LIJ runner up is Okadas.  Tanas themselves are fairly useful, especially if you can do it fast on a new card, though I’ve done a brisk trade with no less than three duplicates over the past two weeks or so.  SZKG is riskier bc there is limited rabid demand and serious collectors get them quickly.  Bullet Club cards can always be shifted to Bullet Club people regardless of who it actually is.  If you’ve got a white part timer look not only in their tag but in the tags of other white part timers, english names.  The Naito tag is the busiest by sheer volume and if you’ve got LIJ you can usually find a trader in his tag no matter whose card it is.  Ibushis are fn useless unless it’s like, a same day the draw starts turnaround time, MAYBE in two...I don’t even bother trading to new Ibushis anymore because I’ve been burned too many times having to give them up for less than they should be worth out of frustration, istg like 3 people in his tag actually care about him and the rest are there to ward off trade requests on their unlocked LIJ cards.  Signed cards...cautiously ladder to them when you can but with obvious caveats, like ffs don’t waste your time on a signed Taguchi unless you want to keep it, and there’s a reason the place is littered with unlocked Ishimoris.  This does not of course mean absolutely nobody cares about the ones that are harder to get rid of, only that the numbers ain’t there so you will be working at it a WHILE.  I am currently stuck with one new Shingo having laddered the other to a decent Kazu, a brand new Ishii that I fear is now mine forever, and the latest Yano.  Can’t shift them lol, but I’ll keep trying.)

I both love and hate this game tbh lol

Okay

I feel like Ibushi winning the G1 was wrong timing

Cause let's think about it. Ibushi should have won last year. Just cause 1.) The golden lovers reunited 2.) Having a fight between ibushi and Kenny at wrestle kingdom would have been so fucking impactful. But the only reason ibushi didnt win was because he was still a free agent at the time which, yeah I get but goddamn having tana win the g1 than beat kenny ONLY to lose it instantly to Jay white like...... also to me idk I feel like ibushi was very quietly part of the G1 the only real moment I felt like I "saw" ibushi was when he had the match with Tanahashi. Like the fact that Tanahashi ( I guess) "fall from grace" didnt happen sooner is what bothers me. Yes we all love Tanahashi but come on let's have a break from him for a while please.....I dont hate Tana but oof. Last year's G1 should have been ibushi and if he had gone to wrestle kingdom and potential beat kenny for the belt it would have been a passing of the torch type thing and a good send off for kenny.

This year Jay white should have won. I say this because jay white was champion for like 10 seconds before he lost it to okada at the MSG show and the reason jay lost was because having a babyface like okada win would make the crowd happy and they needed the fans to be happy for that show cause it was such an important show for njpw. And towards the end of the G1 jay having won 6(!!!!!) Matches in a row and win the block like they were really setting up for jay to have a shot again at the belt! ( ALSO kenta joining Bullet club that night could have easily been a win for bullet club ) like Jay is overwhelmingly an underrated wrestler like hes a great heel!! If you hate him so much it means hes doing a great job as a heel!!!!!! AND he can wrestle!!! Hes not a heel that's all talk and no show, he can put on main event matches!! Like think of the story that could have happened here: when he joined CHAOS he looked at okada and went : " lol im.gonna take your belt one day" he could've been able to take the belt at wrestle kingdom!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!! It could've been all full circle!!!!!

Bottom line: Ibushi's G1 win this year while it's good and yes hes FINALLY being given the recognition he deserves his win feels kinda empty? Jay white should've won the G1 for a better story and for him to also get the recognition he deserves. Ibushi JUST signed and hes already getting a shot at wrestle kingdom while jay white has been signed for how long??

Regardless me being upset about this means this is good wrestling!!! That's actually really exciting!!!!!

Idk why, but I feel like Kenny has the most to lose when it comes to AEW. He already doesn’t feel as “important” when it comes to the business side (despite being one of the founding Elite members, not that you’d be able to tell). I’m not worried about his kayfabe story because a losing streak and being humbled by it could fit him...but something just seems off since he’s signed with the company.

It’s not that he’s not important or about the losing streak or whatever. It’s the simple fact that he is the top guy there (you can hate/roast him all you can but when it comes to actual in ring wrestling I don’t think anyone can argue with that) and NJPW for example has countless top guys, okada naito tana ishii suzuki goto ibushi even juice jay white and tama, so he gave us classics when he stepped in the ring because he had a solid opponent, even if he had gone to WWE, omega vs styles? OMEGA VS NAKAMURA (the dream match we all deserve) regardless of the fact that they probably would’ve botched the storyline but the fact that a valid opponent exists makes it better than AEW 🙃 what are they gonna do give us penta vs ken for the millionth time? jericho? fenix? Nothing can even compare.

And it’s not that I’m anti AEW because I’m not, not at all. Anti Cody I can’t not shade WWE every second I get and if I don’t get a second I’ll make my own yeah sure I don’t even trust people who like that guy, but I do think that the tag division and the midcard in AEW are better than any other promotion rn, as well as the characters/gimmicks so I really do want them to succeed but the main event scene and the women’s division are two big messes that they need to deal with asap. And also maybe ask Cody to stfu about WWE and focus on giving us bullshit free wrestling.

AEW Dynamite (11/10/21)

Bryan Danielson vs Rocky Romero (LA Dojo - First Class): Rocky getting new blood into Chaos was smart. Because they really need it.

It was an awesome match between Dragon and Rocky. A really fun technical match.

I enjoyed seeing America Top Team steamroll the Inner Circle.

Anna Jay/ Tay Conti/Thunder Rosa vs Dr. Baker/Rebel/Jaime Hayter: I liked that Tony told the truth about Britt getting the hell away from Thunder Rosa fast in the match. I dug the match a lot. It was fun.

The hype vignette between Ruby and Kris was more stronger in Ruby's favor. But Kris was true to her character.

Anthony Bowens vs Jungle Boy: Max had some bars that made me laugh and I'm ashamed of myself...naw that is a lie lol.

I like how they allowed Jungle Boy to get him back within the match. Bowens future maybe as a singles. His done really well in his singles matches.

Bobby Fish is a sleeper agent. That attack on Jungle Boy was enough information. The backstage segment with Fish and the Super Kliq was on point. The play on words was clever.

The vignettes for the World Championship match and CM Punk vs Eddie Kingston was great.

Wardlow ran thru Yuta. I'm not mad at that. I hope Wheeler someday gets to tour with Nooj in the East.

Orange caught a bad one son.

I love how Eddie hit that speed burst and got away from everyone for a second 😂 I love how Ruby is in their as peacemaker. It is a reason for that. Using all of wrestling history for storylines is smart.

Matt Sydal/Lee Moriarty vs Dante Morgan/Lio Rush: That match was something they all shined. A great debut by Lio. The finish was great for storyline purposes as well.

Miro killed it with his vignette.

Dax Harwood vs PAC

Was a really good match with a realistic finish because Dax's ultimate goal is the tag team titles. Taking an injury into that match would undermine that.

I enjoyed all of the run in's after the match.

The vignettes hyping up the featured matches for Full Gear were really good.

I liked the contract signing. Adam has really grown into the lead protagonist role. I love how he weaved in the past to the present. I love how the fans went IDK about Kenneth being better Ibushi observation. The reaction made me laugh.

They had people thinking Don was fired sneaky but smart move for the story.

Here's a rant no one asked for...

It's about wrestling so...

Let's talk about the recent changes that have happened as a result of the Madison Square Show.

Okay first things first

I feel like the only reason there were so many title changes was because they wanted the fans to be excited for something new! It's bit as fun if someone retains a title. Yeah sure there was a good match but...the result didn't change. So that's a little boring...

Hence there was a title change with Naito and Ibushi. Even though they were really pushing for Naito potentially having the intercontinental belt AND the IWGP championship belt at the same time they had they're hands tied cause yeah if Naito had retain the title sure that's cool BUT if Ibushi wins, IBUSHI-who has just recently signed with NJPW and made the statement that he's planning to say for a long time which one of the two is gonna get more headlines? Which ones are the FANS/CRITICS gonna lean towards? plus I feel like people aren't very use to see Ibushi a whole lot so seeing him is always a treat. So it's much more exciting to see that belt changes hands.

WHICH leads to my next point of why Jay white had such a short lackluster run as Champion. NJPW built Jay white up so much ( which is great cause he's an amazing heel and great in the ring) before he had the belt than after he had the belt he kinda loss traction I feel. Mainly cause he wasn't in the NJcup, And it felt like Okada was on his way to getting the belt back anyway cause NJPW was still going off the Summer Of Okada wave from before, which everyone loves a redemption arc so the people were still for it, but....idk I feel like their feud which is good don't get me wrong but there wasn't much...hype for it mainly cause it was a feud that was the main focus before so to have to do it a second time right after we thought we were done is a bit much. So when Okada won it was just kinda like " yay....I guess?" But I think he only won it again cause they needed a show stopper result for MSG. The crowd was 10000% behind Okada and I don't think NJPW wanted to take the risk if pissing off fans so they gave the belt back to Okada. ( For the time being)

In the end, I feel like these next couple of shows is gonna be NJPW fixing the things that happened from the MSG show. So I think that Naito will get the belt back from Ibushi ( sorry ibushi I love you but Naito is in my heart) which will put him back on track for gunning for the IWGP championship belt. Also......I feel like it's a missed opportunity to not have Naito vs. Jay white like.. please...I'm begging

Next up, Jay white/New Era arc was built up for MONTHS and to not continue that I feel is a waste cause he GOOD. ( I just love a good heel lmao) and he's just on the beginning of this career ( kinda lol) like I want him to be the next Okada, he has the ability to do so! So I really don't doubt him getting the belt back. It's just gonna be a weird thing to see the belt ping ponged back and forth between him and Okada.

BUT this is just my thoughts, at this point anything can happen which I'm very excited for! One of the many things I love about wrestling is not knowing what will happen!

Sorry for ranting and if this makes zero sense! I'm not a writer and I pretty much talk about I write which is kinda all over the place 😅😅😅 so apologies if this is messy!
