Started thinking about a modern Bingliushen pro-wrestling AU.

Liu Qingge is a face and very popular for his noble character and his incredible athleticism, like, pro wrestling is fake but Liu Qingge is clearly a legit badass. His rival is...

Luo Binghe is a heel, always comes out to the ring with a harem, and always wins when he and Liu Qingge fight, often because a couple members of the harem do underhanded things.

When they do, Luo Binghe scolds them and says he doesn't believe in cheating to win and then always gives the camera the most absolute wicked "of course I actually support this" look. (Even though he is also an athletic badass. There are frequent calls for them to have a clean fight cause fans want to genuinely know who'd win.)

Shang Qinghua is the script writer.

And Shen Yuan is the YouTuber who does hour-long vitriolic rants after every event where he lambasts the writing and detests the whole harem and leads the brigade of people demanding that Binghe and Qingge have a clean fight with no interference. His videos are so unhinged that he's actually gotten extremely popular, because his over-the-top-ness fits right in with the megadrama that is pro wrestling. The only issue, if it's an issue, is that no one can figure out if it's a schtick or if he genuinely is like that and really believes all the nonsense he's spewing (and, by extension, if he fully realizes that wrestling is a schtick).

Oh, and one other thing?

Shen Yuan never shows his face. His videos are voice-overs of clips, ingeniously done animations, awfully done animations, once or twice a person in a mask, once or twice a weird pseudo Hatsune Miko thing, he has many tricks to keep the visuals interesting and none involve a face reveal.

He has sworn up and down he'll never do a face reveal.

When he hits 1 million subscribers, Shang Qinghua reluctantly acknowledges that this fuckin annoying weirdo has gotten too big to ignore. He wants to meet him. He wants to make him shut the fuck up, or at least ease off on the hate. And since he's clearly obsessed with Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge, Shang Qinghua has a plan.

He invites Shen Yuan to meet the real Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge.

Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge, who have an at-times-tense friendship behind the scenes (what kind of tense? Yes.) Are of course aware of this Shen Yuan fellow, and both enjoy watching his videos (...and really like his voice...) and Luo Binghe at least has noticed there's...something...about the way Shen Yuan talks about Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge, something charged and interested and almost possessive (and yeah, Luo Binghe is into it, and he just assumes Liu Qingge has noticed. Liu Qingge has not.)

And like. Shen Yuan does know that wrestling is fake. He does! But he's still in no way prepared to meet these two men and find out what they're each really like when they're not playing their face/heel roles...

And neither Liu Qingge nor Luo Binghe are prepared for the beautiful face of the man behind those ridiculous videos...

This is just a reminder that Hangman Page is currently the only person in AEW's history to have a submission victory over Jon Moxley.

I’m probably the only person who cares about this, but I desperately want Tama Tonga and Finn Bálor to come face to face.

What adds fuel to this fire is the fact that the WWE world seems to be ok with acknowledging past relationships between wrestlers outside of WWE. That’s the entire foundation for DIY and MCMG right now. They’re acknowledging things that happened in other companies.

Two OG Bullet Club founding members are on the WWE roster and they haven’t come face to face a single time. Even if they don’t directly acknowledge this fact, JUST GIVE US SOMETHING.

(Holy shit, I just remembered that they totally had a bullet club moment when AJ and Finn teamed up back in 2022. THERE IS A CHANCE)

i just think he's neat :]

"My name is Walker Stewart, I am 22 years old and have served as the Lead English Commentator for NJPW since late 2023, and recently boarded with STARDOM in late 2024. There is nothing in my life I’ve wanted to do more than broadcast professional wrestling. To serve as the soundtrack to your favorite graps.

When I was singing opera music in college, or pursuing degrees in Business and Music Education, all I was doing was denying myself of the real passion. The real chase. I’m so blessed that I took a chance on the chase, and the chase paid off.

I am grateful eternally for that accessibility, and for every door that has been closed and opened to me in my short career thus far. Tonight, like every other night, my job is to guide you through the happenings of the most wonderful spectacle known to man in the world’s most popularly spoken language.

Thank you for the honor of guiding the ship. I am eternally grateful, and I can’t wait to make new fans out of those who have never watched an NJPW broadcast before."

whats it with Stardom girlies not having matching gears anymore, factions used to have such cool uniting looks with each member still having unique elements, missing peak QQ and DDM times like a mf rn
