How successful would Solomon Grundy…

Propaganda for the mic skills:

Can ONLY speak in the Solomon Grundy nursery rhyme (but it could be a fun gimmick)

Propaganda for the wrestling skills:

Big hulking behemoth. Absolutely will throw the opponent around the ring. (Is also a grappler in the Injustice 1 video game so just google that if you wanna see him in action)

No but YOU don't understand. Peeta, who's never been anyone's priority being Katniss’ first choice in all three books is something very important to me.

In The Hunger Games, when Peeta's name was called in the reaping, no one volunteered for him including his older brother who is not only old enough to participate but also a better wrestler than him. Even in the arena, Haymitch chose to keep Katniss alive over him. And the only person who prioritised him was Katniss herself. She chose to keep him alive when he was dying. She chose to die with him by eating the poisonous berries. She chose to go as far as defying the Capitol and President Snow to protect him.

In Catching Fire, once again, we heard his family would mourn if he died but they'll eventually move on. Other victors only keep him alive to form an alliance with Katniss. And Peeta still got captured by the Capitol in the end. But Katniss’ first priority was keeping Peeta alive. She made a pact with Haymitch to protect him. She was ready to kill Finnick or anyone on the spot if they dared to hurt him. She clawed Haymitch for not rescuing him over her. She became suicidal when he was captured.

In Mockingjay, Peeta lost his family. Then President Coin and other rebels didn't want to keep him (and other captured tributes) alive. And the only person who was visibly devastated over his capturing and hijacking was Katniss, again. And in the end, she finally chose him over Gale. And ultimately chose to be with him for the rest of her life. She gave him the family he lost and he became the family she lost.

“No one really needs me,” he says, and there's no self pity in his voice. It's true his family doesn't need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realise only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.

“I do,” I say. “I need you.”

Cody Rhodes Supports Body Shaming

"This is a vanity business. This weird online contingent doesn't realize how important that (physique) is. We're wrestling with our shirts off, folks, it's ok to go the gym...and you hear fans be like "You can't body-shame wrestlers" - what are you talking about? We're standing there half naked and you're paying hundreds of dollars to see us. Body shame me all you want. Currently, I know it might seem toxic and stuff, but amongst the boys and girls, everyone [is saying] who does your diet? Who’s training? There’s a whole ‘nother health-conscious' now in WWE, and I love that. We’re trying to look our best."

This is normally the part where everyone might rant about how wrong Cody is on certain points, but the fact that he admits his answer “might seem toxic and stuff” pretty much does the work.

The world of professional wrestling today is quite different from the past. Gone are the days of wrestlers who were just overly muscular; now, more fit and diverse athletes are the norm.

Someone like Adam Cole, who has been receiving a lot of body shaming lately, might not agree with what Cody Rhodes had to say. Nevertheless, Rhodes has made his stance on body shaming clear and has no regrets about what he said.

Especially when AEW haters body-shame wrestlers such as Orange Cassidy, Adam Cole, Nyla Rose, Eddie Kingston, Deonna Purazzo, Samoa Joe, Marko Stunt, Jack Perry, Zack Sabre Jr, JD Drake, Beef, Willow Nightingale, Joshi Wrestlers, NJPW Wrestlers, CMLL/Luchador wrestlers, The Young Bucks, and many more, many fans are trying to figure out whether Rhodes wants fans to attack AEW/non-WWE wrestlers or just insult wrestlers in general.

Hana Kimura committed suicide following a series of troubling tweets addressing online bullying and body shaming directed at her from "fans", she was found dead in her apartment in Tokyo on May 23, 2020. She was only 22.

Deonna Purazzo was harassed and body-shamed by many "fans" and she had to make a statement about it. Cody Rhodes' green light about allowing body-shaming wrestlers is a dangerous path toward harassment and bullying. Even a champion such as Zack Sabre Jr was being called a skinny jobber by WWE fans for winning the G1 Climax, not even knowing what his face looked like because they'd never seen him wrestle.

Marko Stunt was body-shamed during his tenure as a wrestler especially when podcaster Jim Cornette fueled his hatred toward him by telling his fans to harass the wrestler. Luchasaurus was fired from WWE when he filed a complaint against many people who bullied and body-shamed trainees and wrestlers.

Wrestler Sheamus was body-shamed a lot during his tenure especially because of his weight gain. Fans also quickly pointed out that Cody Rhodes' father, the late Dusty Rhodes was well-known to have a large body type, which is ironic that Cody allows this behavior. His half-brother, Dustin Rhodes is also an AEW wrestler who doesn't react to Cody, but tweets words of encouragement to his fans.

Some critics say Cody Rhodes is saying these things because he is playing a character, so he's becoming toxic. But this is actually a genuine interview from him, not when he was playing a character. He wants to appeal to those WWE toxic fans who like to insult AEW, Japanese wrestlers, and Luchas wrestlers.

Critics immediately have something to say about his toxic beliefs:

Logan Paul saying that Imane Khelif punching Angela Carini is "the purest form of evil" is so fucking wild. Like bro, they were literally competing in fucking boxing at the fucking Olympics, that's what Imane is supposed to do? You'd think he know that since he's supposedly a "wrestler"? This is also coming from the man who literally filmed the decomposing body of a Japanese man who died by suicide and uploaded it for public consumption on Youtube, and is gentrifying Puerto Rico. He is vile and disgusting and I hope someone beats the shit out of him at a wrestling match.

Talks like Jason Todd/Wally West/Nightwing/Peter Parker/every mid-20’s white boi in the 90’s-00’s. Everyone hated him. Wasn’t as bad as they say. Is the Andrew Garfield/Spider-Man of Supermen. Killed off without good reason.

Rebirth Superman: Clark Kent (Kal-El). Is literally just Triangle Era Superman. With kids. No Chris tho. Still Lawful Good. Strongest of the Post-Crisis versions. Tries to be a good dad. Is a decent dad. Except for the time where he left Jon alone. So he’s a bad dad. I’m still not over that. Bendis loves him. Says please alot. Watches Anime. Kind of a dead beat. I miss Chris.

Propaganda:

Bautista: seems generally interested in choosing challenging or unconventional roles and when he is cast as "imposing big man" often finds new and interesting angles on characters that could otherwise fall flat

Cena: has a great comedic sensibility and a willingness to allow himself to be the butt of a joke. Is willing to do not for kids stuff despite a generally kid friendly vibe. Not afraid to try for drama even if comedy is his strength

Johnson: saved the rapidly deflating Fast & Furious franchise from stalling out (hehe) with pure force of charisma. is reliably funny and good at banter. tends to favor truly insane action. the rock does not lack "cool points."

Headcanons about Yandere Simulator!COD.

Simon "Ghost" Riley

Warning: mention of suicide, mention of alcohol, drugs, mental problems, possibly traumatic moments, etc. My personal vision of the character. OOC?

I think he's perfect for the role of Yandere.

His childhood was disgustingly shitty, and you can't blame him for that.

Born into a dysfunctional family, Simon was doomed to a hard life from childhood. His father was a drunk, a bloody alcoholic who prided himself on being able to drink for weeks and stay on his feet. A dirty man, with filthy and sadistic tendencies taken out on those closest to him. A freak who broke everyone he knew, trampling on his own son, turning the poor child into an unwilling broken doll.

Simon remembered those lonely nights in the old shed next to the house, cluttered with trash and rusty tools, like it was yesterday. The cold wind blew through the cracks between the boards, leaving goosebumps on Simon's skin and forcing him to pull his legs tighter together, curling up in a ball to keep warm. A night in the old barn was Mr. Riley's favorite punishment, a man crashing home after another rave binge to find out his son had gotten an F in school? Late for first period? Or maybe spent his pocket money on some silly comic book? - no matter what, Simon will fly instantly to the Locked Shed. No matter what happened, Simon was always drawn to his older brother, who, unfortunately, wasn't as good as his younger brother would have liked. Tommy was a jerk, that bad boy in high school who publicly cursed the teacher, broke the toilet faucet, and did stupid things. But the dumbest thing in Tommy's life was drugs - this jerk decided to prove once again to everyone that he was cool, not realizing that very soon this addiction would consume him, like everyone else who once got addicted. And Simon hovered between two fires, like a child dreaming of a normal family, like a son who had never seen his father smile and never heard praise. And the mother? Mrs. Riley-a dandelion of God, withering rapidly in her husband's dirty hands. She was a beautiful woman, the only person in that family who cared about Simon, and he loved her immensely, and still does. Mrs. Riley died when Simon was 14. It was a cold Sunday morning when a loud gunshot rang out, waking Simon from his sleep. Feeling an animal fear, he rushed to the sound, recognizing a sight that forever shattered his poor mind. On September 6, Mrs. Riley shot herself in the temple.Haunted by her husband's nightmares and torture, she couldn't take any more of this abusive behavior, couldn't watch her firstborn wither under drugs, couldn't see Simon hurt.But her act didn't make it better, hell, that kind of thing never makes anything better. After that day, Simon withdrew more than ever. Hitting his father was nothing, hunger was nothing, being forced to kiss a poisonous snake was a challenge.

Simon grew up, and with it grew his hatred and repressed aggression towards his father.One day in a club Simon watched his father attack a poor girl. She simply refused to spend the night with him and the drunkard, not confused, began to beat her as if he were a wrestler in the ring Simon could not do anything, just as he could not save his mother, stop his father's beatings or convince Tommy that drugs are evil. And he didn't understand why his father wasn't in jail. They'd find the girl, but when they did, no one would really care what happened. The freak always gets away with it.

After the death of his mother, Simon was forced to work part-time at the local machine shop. Old man Carson was happy to help the neighbor boy, so he took him into his shop as an assistant without any questions or demands. Yes, and Simon was a handy and understanding guy.

Simon started out washing cars, and after working like that for half a year, he was promoted to Carson's apprentice: the old man explained and taught the boy mechanics, letting him stay up late reading books about cars.

The old man was able to replace Simon's father, teaching the teenager simple things necessary for basic survival. For example, Simon, at 16, learned how to fix some appliances and how to use tools. But Mrs. Carson had already taught Simon cooking, laundry, and household chores, and he, as a bright boy, grasped everything on the fly. Simon noticed Mr. and Mrs. Carson had a son, which they never had, for unfortunately Paula Carson was barren.

Simon lived as a two-family household, mostly spending his days at his mentor's house, but when his father began to rage and throw himself at the neighbor's door, Simon would return, falling asleep again in his little room.

The work in the workshop brought quite a good income and Simon, having entered the desired college, was even able to rent a small apartment on the outskirts of the city, and finally moved out of his home, so as not to see this den, and not to put, in Simon's opinion, the family of his mentor in danger.

The old man Carson told him fatherly: "Simon, you'll be happy when you find love. Simon thought so, but he couldn't imagine what that love looked like. He couldn't believe it would happen someday, not just pass him by like it always did.

But one day that day has come. First day of college, Simon is walking toward the auditorium when a stranger suddenly sweeps him off his feet like a small tornado. It was just a moment when he looked into your eyes-- He felt like he was going to drown in them. The way your eyelashes fluttered as you stood there, rubbing your forehead after the blow and babbling something, was in his head. From that day on, he couldn't imagine his life if you weren't there for him.

"Finally, I'll be happy."

But is this how it's going to be? Simon can't contain his anger at seeing you talking sweetly to some cocky kid in the back of the class. And the voice in Simon's head whispered sweetly: "eliminate."

FAMILY FORMATIONS PART THIRTEEN

Summary: Megumi asks you about the strange unknown man he fought in Shibuya.

CW: sad, soft, canon typical violence

A/N: this is short and kinda shit but I thought of this idea and it wormed into my brain and now I’m here :) I liked the idea of a moment between reader and megumi between *the megumi bad thing* and Shibuya, Satoru’s gone she’s vulnerable megumi is vulnerable just raw yaknow

Recommended Listening:

Favourite Crime - Olivia Rodrigo

10am Gare du Nord - Keaton Henson

You rifled through the cupboards in the kitchen of some stranger – long gone now, avoiding the destructive chaos of the culling games.

Yuuji, showering. Everyone else, resting maybe? Dead? Stuck in a box like your husband? You don’t know.

The empty pit of fear swirling in your stomach was driving you to madness, but you were grounded by the presence of a tall, raven-haired boy leaning on the counter beside you.

You found some ramen, throwing it into a pot so you could at least manage to feed these boys after all of you had been trying to navigate this cruel imitation of a reality show all day.

Megumi, out of the corner of your eye – was staring holes into the ground by his shoes.

Asking him what’s up seemed futile, what wasn’t up? Everything had fallen apart, and you were using every fibre of your being to hold everything and everyone together until you could figure out what the fuck you, we’re going to do.

“Spill it, Mr. Fushiguro.” You say, elbowing his side.

He rolls his eyes at you, half-heartedly.

You sit on the stool by the bar in this stranger's kitchen.

“‘Gumi, it’s just us now. Talk to me.”

He kicks his shoes against the linoleum floor. He’s silent for a moment and you think maybe, he’s not going to talk.

“Back there, in Shibuya. When we were all separated. There was a man. I fought him. Only for a minute but… he, he acted like he knew me.” He looked at the ceiling.

“You’re a talented sorcerer in your own right, a Zen’in by birth and adopted son of the Gojo and Y/L/N clan. People are gonna target you, no matter how much I try to stop them.” You smile sadly.

“No, not like that. It was like – he knew me. He asked my name; I told him, and he just said “Fushiguro huh? Good for you, kid.’ And then he…”

The pause was enough to tell you it was bugging him.

“He what, honey?”

“Stabbed himself in the head.”

Well, fuck, that wasn’t what you expected. You tried to think of who it could have been, was it fear of Megumi’s strength, of the battle that drove this man to suicide? Why did the Fushiguro name affect him so badly.

To try and place the man so your son could put a name to the face and end his mental gymnastics, you ask.

“What did he look like?”

“He was tall, maybe an inch or two shorter than –” Satoru. An inch or two shorter than Satoru. He was worried about your reaction to his name.

“Really strong, built like a wrestler. Dark hair, kinda looked like me to be honest. Had this scar on his lip?” He finished.

You dropped the bowl in your hand, and it shattered to the ground in tiny pieces as everything you’d believed was questioned in a millisecond in your frazzled mind.

The crash made Megumi jump.

“What? Do you know him?” He asked.

You turn to him, face like you’d seen a ghost – but it wasn’t you who had seen the ghost.

“He, looked like you and had a scar on his lip?” You ask, Megumi looking at you with concern and surprise.

“Yeah, who was it? I’ve never seen you this jumpy – who was that guy?”

Fuck, you wish you had Satoru here. Do you tell him? How do you tell him? Should you tell him? There had been no parenting book for raising the kids of the man who’d killed your husband and then your husband had killed – and there was certainly no guidance on how to tell your son that the man who committed suicide in front of him so he wouldn’t have to fight him – was in fact, his father.

But Toji Fushiguro was dead. You’d seen the body.

He was very, very dead.

If he was dead, how was in in Shibuya?

The séance.

It clicked into place. A ghost from the past, the sorcerer killer. The old woman. But nobody would dare use Toji Fushiguro as a pawn or a puppet - he’d regained his sense of self and found his son.

His blessing.

Your blessing.

You had to tell him; he deserved the truth.

Snapping from your trance – you motioned the boy to sit beside you.

“Megumi. The man you spoke to, the man who asked your name. He was happy you’d taken your mother’s name, instead of Zen’in. Megumi, that man, my sweet boy, – was your father. It was Toji Fushiguro.” You clasp his hand.

“But he’s dead. Dad, Satoru, killed him.” He said, in disbelief.

“He was resurrected as a puppet, but your father was a stubborn man – so I’m guessing he retook control.”

“But then why did he kill himself.”

“He killed himself, Megumi, because – he refused to fight or hurt his own son. He knew it was you, and returning to death was a better option.” A part of you prays thanks to Toji – for having the sense to not put his, your, son through that.

Megumi was silent for a moment.

“I didn’t recognise him.” He spoke.

“You were so young when he died, it’s not surprising.” You push his hair out of his face, a fruitless endeavour really.

You let him soak it in for a moment.

“It’s okay to be sad, he was your father. No matter what else he did or didn’t do.”

“I’m not sad, I pity him.” He spoke.

“Me too, Megumi. Your father was a lost soul, but one thing I do know – is he didn’t name you his blessing for nothing, he loved you – but losing your mother broke him. I can tell you one thing for sure, that I’m certain of: he is proud of you. I know that because he barely knew you and felt pride. I know you like the back of my hand and pride isn’t a big enough word for what – what, Satoru and I feel.” You turn his face to look at you, and you smile softly.

“Thanks for telling me the truth. I’m, um, gonna kick Itadori out of the shower before the hot water runs out so I can have one too.” He stands from the stool.

You know he needs space to process.

You nod and mention continuing making some food. As he reaches the door the the bedroom with the en-suite, he turns.

“They may have been my mother and father, but um, they - they’re not my mom and dad.” He says, eyes downcast but flicking up to look at you. Your throat constricts with tears and before you can reply, he’s gone inside the room.

You look to the sky, sending thanks to Megumi’s birth mother – for allowing you the chance to raise the blessing that boy is.

On the occasion of Käärijä's birthday

As a Käärijä fan, I realised that this is the second time I've celebrated his birthday, which means that it has already been a year and a half since I fell in love with him.

In the past year and a half, his music, personality, words, videos and photos have given me a lot of energy and courage.

And thanks to him, I've been able to connect with fellow fans from all over the world on social media, which has been a lot of fun.

But at the same time, the past year and a half has also been a time when the cruelty and ugliness of humanity has been shown to me more openly than ever before.

I use various social media to provide information about him to Käärijä fans in Japan and to help Japanese people who do not yet know him to like him, but everywhere I look, not just on twitter, I find daily hate posts against Käärijä.

Some people simply don't like him.

Some still bring up ESC 2023 even though it has been a year and a half already, put him down just to praise Loreen.

Some loudly insult him out of their humanitarian convictions, saying they cancel him, and yet they are back in fandom nonchalantly.

Others say they are true fans and are criticising him for his own good, so this does not constitute slander, but they speak ill of him, his friends and his family with foul language.

Some, feeling an unnecessary obligation to educate him, impose their opinions on him, ignore his human rights and try to turn him into someone they like.

And even between fans, drama is created every day.

Even I, who am not Käärijä himself, go crazy when I see these posts day after day, but I can only imagine how Käärijä himself feels when he receives all this hate, directly or indirectly, and it brings me to tears every day.

Most people, not only those who hate him, but even those who say they are his fans, don't care what one person, Mr.Jere Pöyhönen, would think of these posts.

They all believe they are absolutely righteous and just and are desperate to have their righteousness recognised and agreed upon in the small world of social media. Most of the things you don't like about him and "his mistakes" end in one sentence: "That's not for me." or "It's not my thing." You don't have to spend tens of millions of filthy and mean words to justify yourself.

In Japan and South Korea, a very large number of young celebrities commit suicide due to social media slander, which has become a major problem.

A few years ago, I was greatly shocked when a young and talented female professional wrestler in Japan committed suicide because of social media slander.

I wonder if those who never tire of slandering Käärijä and speaking ill of him have ever once considered that he might die because of their posts.

Sometimes I’m seriously scared that he might commit suicide someday.

Just imagining how he'd feel when he received slurs and death-wish messages from thousands of people around the world, instead of legitimate criticism, is enough to break my heart too.

In a world where we can do anything at our fingertips, have we lost the ability to imagine things happening in places you don't know about or how other people are feeling?

Of course, when he is clearly doing something wrong, it's right to criticise him.

But criticism should be factual and dispassionate. Thinking badly of someone based on imagination alone and using dirty, strong language is just slander. And it's also slander to speak ill of something that the other person has no control over themselves, such as their appearance or background.

People who don't know the difference should not post their opinions on public accounts on social media where everyone can see them. You "criticise" and insult someone all you like, but when you post your opinion where everyone can see it and you are dismissed for it, you say, "Am I not even allowed to criticize?" That's hilarious.

If you don't want your "opinion" to be rejected, or if you want to "criticise" in abusive language, then you should only express it in closed places where only your yes-men gather, or in front of family and friends, or write down on your diary.

Once a post is on the web, it remains as a digital tattoo, no matter how much you delete it, just as you cannot take back the words that came out of your mouth.

You have freedom of speech and thought, and your right to criticise someone should not be violated, but remember that with freedom and rights come obligations and responsibilities.

Recently in Japan, there has been an acceleration in the legal crackdown on slander on social media.

If you feel comfortable hiding behind anonymity, you are wrong.

Remember that there is always the possibility that you could one day be sued by the person you have slandered, subjected to a disclosure request, criminally prosecuted and made a criminal.

I am fascinated by the thoughtful words Käärijä sometimes speaks at his gigs.

Love and peace, that's all we need.

I hope that the world he, his loved ones and his fandom will create in the future will be a world full of love and peace💚

If your first instinct when watching/reading/seeing something about bullying, body shaming, and suicide is to laugh and boast, then there's nothing I can do or say will change your deranged mindset. The best I can do is to block and hope others won't have the same mindset. I got this type of reply on Twitter most of the time but on Tumblr? It looks like a Twitter rejection or something:

```

```

When I wrote that post based on the news article, I mostly focused on the danger of bullying. Hana Kimura is a well-known wrestler who killed herself after she was bullied by her so-called fans and also body-shamed. I also wrote about other wrestlers, and not just from AEW but from other companies.

I thought that by doing so, people would know how a bit obtuse what a certain wrestler said about body shaming. It's one thing to say that he doesn't care that people shaming him, it's another thing that he said that he supports it and how it affects others.

If your first instinct is to laugh and say that AEW is losing to WWE and we made up stuff to "win", then maybe you are not a fan of wrestling or decency in general. You're the one who glazed over the topic and made it into something else. If you think that when suicide matter is not important enough compared to your favorite company and wrestler, then please, on everything holy, refrain yourself commenting on other people's blogs/posts. I don't care what you write on your own blog, because chances are I won't see it. After all, you're blocked.

So please, block me if you think that bullying is acceptable and suicide is okay - because I always feel that Tumblr at least has some leftover safe space for everyone who has a heart. Even in a wrestling world, be a decent fan and human.

Cool, you're doing you're part by harassing people and fear-mongering them into never playing this game for "the safety of the LGBTQ+ and Jewish community"

I'm not saying there aren't problematic things in the game...in fact I think the main villain you're suppose to be fighting is not a good villain purely because inequality is not a good reason to have those characters be the bad guy.

I'm just saying, banning this game is not helping me in any way personally.

My church is still going to be attacked just because it's pro LGBTQ. As of today, we are investigating who keeps attacking us in the middle of the night and if they're the same person who harrassed my priest into leaving.

I'm still going to hear my friends being harassed/beaten up and worried about their safety.

I'm still going to shake in rage over the many stories I slowly hear about one of my favorite wrestlers getting (and still getting) antisemitic threats.

And this hatetrain is gonna last, what, 2-3 weeks to a couple of months at the most? And then...

Nothing.

The reason why it blew up so loudly because it's easier to spoil and harass people through a computer screen. But I feel like under no circumstances should you harass people.

But then again, look what website I'm talking to.

This is a literal witchhunt, and I honestly feel like in the future, this is going to end up in me being hurt/dead in the crossfire.

Here are some more images from the recent episode of "Dark Side of the Ring" (S5, E6) featuring Chris Colt, aka Paul Dupree, originally named Charles "Chuck" Harris. I will just call him Chris Colt. According to the documentary, Colt's career really took off after he met Tag Team partner, and love of his life, Ron Dupree.

Colt started wrestling in 1964 and teamed up with Dupree by 1966 when they formed the "California Hell's Angels" tag team. They presumably began hooking up around that same time. (They were a gay couple, the other wrestlers all knew it.)

In those days, being Tag Team partners was perhaps the best cover for gay lovers. Even straight tag teams were presented as a couple: wearing matching costumes, wedded under a single team name, combining their total weight, and frequently posing for photos arm-in-arm. As partners, Dupree and Colt could love each other right in the open without many fans even suspecting they were actual, like, partner-partners.

The campiness and flamboyance of pro wrestling also permitted them to wear really queer matching outfits and to use the same last name by pretending to be brothers. Hotel costs add up, so it just made sense for a travelling tag team to share a bed -- I mean, a room.

According to "Dark Side of the Ring," Colt lived a rough and depressing life, beginning with his abusive, alcoholic father and ending with a lonely AIDS-related death in a homeless shelter (or perhaps in an alley with a needle in his arm) in 1995.

So it made me happy to know that, at least he was able to experience this one presumably loving relationship for about a decade. And how perfect for a wrestling addict, to find a partner who also gets into wrestling!

Ron Dupree, who was older by 8 or 10 years, would sadly die of a heart attack in 1975, which obviously devastated Colt and sent him into a tailspin of addiction and suicidal thoughts for his remaining 20 years on this planet.

I'm not sure what magazine featured the below article, which appears briefly on screen during the "Dark Side of the Ring" episode. It might be from one of those 1970s wrestling mags, but it seems too explicit and revealing for a typical kayfabe publication. The gay lovers are practically outed by the magazine: "Ronnie leaped up and started a pillow fight with Paul. But Paul didn't fight back." What, exactly, does THAT imply? Did either of them bite the pillow?

Please send me the entire article if you can find it in your archives of old wrestling beat-off materials...
