Reports: Former WWE US Champion Expected To Remain Out Of Action For "Quite Some Time"

[munatarswrestlingassociationrp]

HHH: "Are you ready? I SAID, ARE... YOU... READY?! Then, for the thousands in attendance, and the... few guys that actually follow this blog, lllllllllllllllllet's get ready to S-"

Storm: "Hold on, hold on, hold on a minute! Don't you guys have a company up north you need to be running? Now, I don't care who you are or where you came from, but around here, me and my partner Roode, we rule this tag team division!"

Micheals: "Well, funny you should say that, because if I remember right, we've ruled over all tag teams for over 20 years!"

HHH: "That's right. Maybe you guys ruled over small, lesser-known feds in your heyday, but us, D-Generation X? We're among the most iconic and legendary tag teams/stables in all of wrestling history! You can read a history book if you don't believe me."

Michaels: "Oh, that's funny! I believe I have one right now! Let's see, we got... the Road Warriors, Harlem Heat, the Rockers, the Midnight Express, the Steiner Brothers, the Hardys, Edge and Christian, the Dudleys... oh, here's us, right here! D-Generation X! It also says our name under legendary stables right under guys like the Four Horsemen and the nWo. Huh, that's two teams I was in that appear here."

HHH: "Know who doesn't appear, though? Your... what do you call your team? Beer Money? Huh... well it's no wonder no one takes you guys seriously with a stupid name like that!"

Roode: "Plenty of guys take us seriously! We were among the top tag teams in TNA's revered tag division!"

Storm: "And if you still don't believe us... we'll we can always come down to that ring and show you why we're the best! BEER!"

Roode: "MONEY!"

HHH: "Man, are you hearing these guys, Shawn?"

Michaels: "Loud and clear."

HHH: "Now, listen, "Beer Money"... you guys may have ruled the roost in one or two small time feds... but we are pro wrestling history itself! As Shawn clearly demonstrated, look up the names of any top tag team in wrestling history, we're bound to come up at least once!"

Micheals: "And if you're not down with that, we got two words for ya..."

Crowd: "SUCK IT!"

Cocky Stud Robert Roode tried bullying his partner. This didn't sit well with Eric Young. To add insult to injury Eric decided to pants Robert during his temper tantrum. He and the whole audience bursted out in laughter at the sight of Robert sporting a stringy little White Thong wedged in his cheeks. Robert Panicked desperately trying to pull up his trunks and cover his bare ass. The audience laughed, Eric and Gail Kim laughed Robert was stunned.

Happy St Andrews Day.

As part of our Patron Saint’s Feast Day the Scottish Saltire is proudly flown and many people add it to their posts on social media to celebrate the day, but how did Scotland adopt the saltire?

There is no actual date, or in fact nothing in our written history of the time, but legend has it that in AD 832 the king of the Picts, ‘Aengus MacFergus’, ( Anglified to Angus but some stories say Hungus) with the support of 'Scots’ from Dalriada, won a great battle against King Athelstane of the Northumbrians. The site of the legendary battle became known as Athelstaneford in present-day East Lothian.

St Andrew visited the Pictish leader in a dream before the battle and told him that victory would be won. When the battle itself was raging, a miraculous vision of the St Andrew’s Cross was seen shining in the sky, giving a boost to the morale and fighting spirit of his warriors. The result was a victory over the Saxons, and the death of Athelstan. Thus, after this victory, according to the tradition, the Saltire or St Andrew’s Cross became the flag of Scotland, and St Andrew the national patron saint.

While there is no written reference to the battle in Scotland from the period it was said to have taken place, this is not surprising, as it was a time for which we have little or no documentation for anything. The earliest written mention of the Battle of Athelstaneford in Scottish history comes from years later in the newspapers of the day, if you follow my posts then you know I dip into these “Chronicles from time to time, the first one to mention Athelstaneford is the Scotichronicon, written by the Scottish historian Walter Bower.

The Scotichronicon has been described by some Scottish historians as a valuable source of historical information, especially for the times that were recent to him or within his own memory. But he also wrote about earlier times, and this included the battle at Athelstaneford.

Bower’s account includes the scene where Aengus MacFergus is visited by St Andrew in a dream before the battle. He was told that the cross of Christ would be carried before him by an angel, there was no mention of a St Andrew’s Cross in the sky in this version. It was in later accounts, from the 16th centuries onwards, that we have the description of an image of St Andrew’s Cross shining in the sky

Bower was writing in the early 1400s. The bitter and bloody struggle to retain Scotland’s independence was not just a recent memory but also a current reality for him. Parts of Scotland were still occupied by England, and Bower had been involved in raising the money to release Scotland’s king, James I, from English captivity.

Also, Scotland’s early historical records and documents had been deliberately destroyed during the invasion by the English king Edward I. This was done in part as an attempt to remove historical evidence that Scotland had been an independent kingdom. The idea was simple: take away a nation’s history and you strip it of its identity and justification for its independent existence. The theft of the Stone of Destiny was part of this process, the Black Rood which was believed to contain a piece of the Cross Jesus was crucified on was also removed, I have covered both these in previous posts.

Part of Bower’s motivation in writing his Scotichronicon was to help restore this stolen history. He was a scholar and a man of the church. In his time, the figure of St Andrew had become a prominent presence in Scottish society.

The greatest church building in the land during his time was the Cathedral of St Andrew, which housed relics of St Andrew himself. It had taken over a hundred years to build and wasn’t formally consecrated until 1318, just four years after Bannockburn. The ceremony of course included Robert the Bruce and at it thanks was given to St Andrew for Scotland’s victory.

Less than 100 years after this, in 1413, the University of St Andrews was established and Walter Bower was one of its first students. By this time, the Cathedral of St Andrew was a place of pilgrimage, with thousands travelling there to venerate the saint’s relics. A pilgrimage route from the south took in the shrine of Our Lady at Whitekirk, not far from the site of the battle, and many pilgrims took a ferry across the Firth from North Berwick, where the ruins and remains of the old St Andrew’s Kirk can still be seen close to the Scottish Seabird Centre.

So as he sat down to write his history of earlier times, he was able to trace this connection to St Andrew, using the limited earlier written accounts, such as those of earlier Chronicler I’ve mentioned before, John Fordun, who lived in the 1300s. While Fordun doesn’t specifically mention the location of Athelstaneford, he records a battle which took place between the Picts led by Aengus and a force from the south led by Athelstan, and said the location of the battle was about two miles from Haddington. The account of St Andrew appearing in a dream to Aengus is also described by Fordun.

This creates a powerful link to the development of the written version of the story. Let’s remember Bower came from what is now East Lothian. Let us also remember that people in the early centuries stored and passed on much of their historical knowledge not in the written word but in memory and handed down oral traditions. People told stories, remembered them and told them to the next generation. Undeniably, some details would be forgotten or changed over time, but the bones of the story would be handed down. And that would include reference to locations of significant events in the local landscape.

Bower will have had access to this rich oral tradition of local stories based on handed-down collective memories of past events, which is perhaps why he was able to name the location. The later writers who added to the story of the battle will likewise have found new sources in the oral tradition to add to the narrative. Even in the 19th century, cartographers mapping the area were able to identify locations traditionally associated with the battle from local people who were custodians of ancestral memory.

This is how the story of the Battle of Athelstaneford and its connection with St Andrew and the Saltire has evolved.

The village is home to the National Flag Heritage Centre which occupies a lectern doocot built in 1583 and rebuilt in 1996. It is at the back of the village church. Today the village is surrounded by farmland and has little in the way of amenities. Tourists can follow the "Saltire Trail", a road route which passes by various local landmarks and places of historical interest.

Athelstaneford Parish Kirk has a connection with the subject of my post last week, author Nigel Tranter, who was a prominent supporter of the Scottish Flag Trust. He married in the church, and in April 2008 a permanent exhibition of his memorabilia was mounted in the north transept of the church. Items include a copy of Nigel Tranter's old typewriter, a collection of manuscripts and books, and other personal items. The display was previously at Lennoxlove House, and prior to that at Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott.

Stitch

Pairing: Dominik Mysterio x Fem autistic reader

Description: Dom gets a tattoo for you based on your favorite Disney character and nickname he calls you

You walk backstage sharing a hug with your boyfriend's mom before walking in his and his dad's locker room smiling big and sharing a hug with Rey as Dom walks out from changing into his ring gear seeing the sweet moment. "Hey Stitch" you giggle lightly as dom presses a kiss to your forehead following them until you reached the curtain sharing a group hug and a kiss with dom talking to Aalyah before she went out to sit with her mom in the crowd while you walked backstage talking with Edge and hanging out with Liv and Rhea before the two walked backstage victorious in their match against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode who deserves a justified fight after attacking dom and even harassing you until you hit dolph in the face with a jug and edge quickly jumped in with a spear to roode quietly squealing and cheering when your boys won jogging down the hall as soon as you saw them with big smiles on their faces. You laugh talking with rey and aalyah at rey and angie's house while dom and angie were out having lunch which was a tradition not only between him and both his parents but also with you and the two as well being welcomed with open arms when dom brought you to meet hos family after being together for five months hearing dom talk about you nonstop including that you were autistic but you were still as much of a human as they were which surprised them when they meet you forgetting that fact until you had mentioned it not noticing any signs until they picked up on your habits the first few times you visited them, you smile sweetly seeing dom and angie walk in laughing and smiling seeing him light up pulling you into his arms pressing a kiss to your cheek noticing the plastic wrap under his shirt sleeve raising a brow as the two of you say your goodbyes and head home. After getting home he has you close your eyes while in the bathroom laughing seeing you mindlessly sway while sitting on the bed smiling as he kissed your hand before having you gently trace a warm spot of his body opening your eyes to see a fresh tattoo on dom's chest smiling big when you see that it's stitch from the movie Lilo and Stitch holding a heart with sunflowers on his head, a butterfly on his nose, and your name above him lighting up as you caresses the freshly inked skin squealing lightly giggling making dom grab and kiss you and wrapping you in his arms taking a picture of your reaction and posting it along with a video of you giggling and squealing seeing it and right after it was done on Instagram with the caption "Got this little guy for my sunshine not only because it's her favorite character and movie but also because she is so special to me always holding my heart with tenderness, kindness, care, and unconditional love" leaving everyone in puddles of heartfelt smiles "I love you my stitch" later that week you return the surprise by getting a tattoo on your chest over your heart exactly where dom got stitch but you got his favorite character Zero from Nightmare before Christmas with the heart tucked against him along with a Mexican flag, a headset with music notes in the air, and his name above zero smiling as you watch him open his eyes lighting up like sunshine as he caresses the spot before kissing you sweetly posting the picture with the caption "Got this baby boy for my love to match with stitch he got for me this time with his favorite character and his nickname I call him quite a bit Zomo" you smile laying beside him putting your shoulder under his to look at them next to each other "I love you Zomo".

I just watched the WWE MCMG vlog. Based on the handshake-hug combo with Robert Roode and Jey Uso, Shelley seems cool af. 😎🆒

I thought the secret handshake with Bobby Roode was really cute! There’s a reason why they’re locker room leaders: unproblematic and get along with everyone. :)
