the wrestling section!
promotions i currently follow: aew, njpw, ddt, tjpw, baka gaijin and friends (most consistent), a little bit of stardom and noah
match i recommend : chris brookes vs lulu pencil (iron man match), this match is what made me fall in love with wrestling again after about 4 years, and it's free on youtube!
next steps : learning more about lucha libre, smaller japanese promotions, wrestling in underrepresented regions (GIVE ME RECS MY DMS ARE OPEN)
like if i didn't have so much going on i'd pick comedy but the fact that most people i want to attack are there and with so much flesh world stuff that i want what i make to count, mystery it is.
like if i didn't have so much going on i'd pick comedy but the fact that most people i want to attack are there and with so much flesh world stuff that i want what i make to count, mystery it is.
so i started a chart around all of that betrayal lore (purely in kayfabe)
details below
as soon as speedball x something lost the dpw tag team championship, speedball announced that was their last booking and that the tag team was done, they (speedball) were done, going back to canada, and then soon after, they show up on aew
jake would go on to represent dpw as their world champion until either shortly before or right as dpw goes on an indefinite hiatus (this and the above point are why i specify kayfabe because once you start dealing with stuff outside of aew and adding that into the lore it gets a bit dicey), and he was still connected to tna until shortly after wwe/tko's hostile takeover
essentially, before jake went to aew, the state of the last 2 promotions he was in were fucked.
shortly after speedball debuted, jetspeed, that's speedball and kevin, would form, with them winning the trios champions with both hangman adam page (who, along with his rival swerve, were not great influences) and mistico.
in january of this year, jake would then join aew, immediately siding with the don callis family and attacking jetspeed offscreen (this was likely not supposed to be executed like that, but i think there were flight issues which led to jake's 1st on screen appearance feeling very random, that and the fact that he immediately tore his bicep in a tag match against ftr in a freak accident).
around this time, kevin also won the tnt championship after kyle fletcher vacated it due to injury
jetspeed supported... fuck it it's chronological information, jetspeed supported darby allin in taking the world championship from mjf, which he would (inexplicably imo) go on to do, and the turn started right after mjf won the belt back.
kevin's always been a tag guy after he broke out of the la dojo in njpw, first it was the intergalactic jet setters with kushida, and then it was jetspeed, which almost immediately formed after speedball debuted, just to note. and kevin wanted to be recognized by himself, he was a champion but his role was still on the side supporting darby in his efforts and still being seen for his trios runs rather than the fact that he was, you know, fucking tnt champion.
speedball, in what i note as a little bit of hypocrisy, addressed that on the dynamite the following week, stating how kevin's impatience and his specific form of ambition leads to mistakes, including attacking darby (a very right decision imo). speedball, as much as they are the good guy, was also scolding kevin, telling him to apologize on national television like he was a child.
like i have in that messy ass chart above, no i don't think speedball is the bad guy, but if we want to include dpw in the lore, they have the habit of envisioning their friends alongside them and struggle to acknowledge their own desires and how they might have to achieve them differently than speedball does. literally 2 of the first things speedball said in response to jake joining the dcf was 1) they had room for jake to join jetspeed, they wanted him with the team and 2) they miss jake something, fuck jake doyle (obviously this one is more of a joke but it also thematically fits with how they saw kevin's choice to attack darby, 'why can't you keep the way of honor i knew you had?').
i feel there is a big distinction in speedball and kevin making their own big moves, speedball left dpw as they were, without changing who they were, because they didn't have to, they were making a personal choice to go back home for a bit. while kevin accepted that in order to get what he really wants (solo recognition, being seen for HIS work, not his work with someone else) he might have to become the villain in order to achieve it because with the fact that he has a belt around his waist right now, there's no break, it's all bets.
that's why i really loved that detail of kevin feeling some guilt as he attacked speedball. like, maybe he doesn't want to stoop this low but in order to get somebody who clings this close to him off his back, he felt no choice but to do that. and it hurts, it fucking hurts. but it's about time he's seen for him, not him and his partner.
both breakups were essentially on the line of 'i want to take time for/bet on myself, even if i have to leave this thing that meant a lot to me'. abandonment runs deep as a theme, the need to leave things behind in order to seek out the next chapter for yourself (which is maybe why i, someone who had to stop volunteering at a place i loved after almost 2 years in order to take on so many new opportunities, am particularly feeling it this morning).
there are still loose ends imo, like why, of all things, would jake feel the need or desire to join the dcf to get into aew even though he had practically the same connections as speedball on a national (US) level. same as to why kevin would think joining the dcf would assist with his desires unless if this was squarely to form this fucked up triangle between them 2 and speedball.
i mean i don't mind it, but its still a pair of questions.
a thing that I also want to report from tonight's speedball stream is something that they said about twitter (and probably also bluesky/instagram/etc by extension)
they were saying it "genuinely helps" for you to tweet/post about them or their matches, especially if you use the official hashtags like #AEWDynamite #AEWCollision or whatever the special event of the night is. it's pretty standard for corps to track keywords and such, we now have confirmation that data is taken into account for booking and contracts and that this extends to other people at AEW/ROH as well
let me say that again slightly louder
if you want to genuinely help someone's career at AEW/ROH post about them on twitter/etc with the official hashtags
this stuff does get taken into account. if you post about the womens division, or get excited about certain guests, or post clips of things you think are cool, especially if you use the official hashtags and keywording it is more likely to keep getting booked
so if people tell you not to complain about booking don't listen. but do vote with your attention economy dollar when they do things you want to see more
btw i am doing this. it feels so cringe bcs i dont tweet this way. but the tweets can be low effort/contractual-obligationcore bcs its tracked automatically. clocking in at the 'clapping when women onscreen' factory
We are approaching the beginning of the month, and she urgently needs the €600 for the house rent before the 1st. Please, we kindly ask for your help and support. We are truly in desperate need of assistance at this difficult time.
Lets help get Shira the €600 for rent so she doesn't have to recover back on the street!
We have raised €234 out of the €600 needed for the house rent. Please, please share this with others. We only have a small amount left to reach our goal.
Come on folks, every little bit helps. Lets not put her back out on the streets!
you know, on occasion i wondered why jake doyle had that wide band over his thigh because it looked a little odd but i didn't feel the need to look deeper.
turns out the tattoo that it covers up could get a company nuked by copyright, so you know what, fair.
These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears. I can no longer bear this situation. I am exhausted by hunger, severe anemia, my father's cancer, and the exorbitant cost of the medications he needs.
All I care about is getting rid of the cancer my father is suffering from and the constant pain. Please help me buy his medication so his body can recover and he can resume his life, and to save me, my entire family, and my young niece who is suffering from malnutrition and anemia.
Please donate if you can. Your donation will enable me to buy medicine for my father, and it will save him, save me, and save my whole family. Our lives are at stake from hunger, disease, and anemia, and it will end the constant pain. Gofundme
Nader's father needs pain relief. Donate what you can. This is campaign number 4 on the @gazavetters account. I personally assure you that your donations will go directly to Nader, his family, and his ailing father.
Friends, I beg you to help us and donate. You don't know how we will live if this aid stops. My family is large; we are nine people in this family, and we all depend on this aid to survive. Please, please don't hesitate to donate. Please donate now. We need 400 euros to reach 5,000. Please, please donate.
I speak to Nader every day, he's really special to me.
I've said this before, but I'm genuinely amazed by his ability to see beauty everywhere. Despite all odds he asks me for photos of flowers.
Nobody is more or less deserving, but if you can spare $5, my friend could use some dinner, his father could use some painkillers.
If everybody who followed me donated $20 one single time, Nader would have enough money to buy a home. As is, the donations trickle in. Please just give what you can.
I'm currently not working due to a bad injury, so my financial scenario is pretty strained and I can't share much. I would appreciate anyone who can help make up the difference.
fun fact: i have a 4 year old oil painting of mox that i did for a painting class (we had to make book covers and i chose his autobiography), and i obviously can't do a 1 to 1 study of photo, so I have a jon moxley painting with mjf standing angrily in the background.
also knowing someone definitely got the one calling out all of the favorite white boys removed let's see how long it takes for the rush post to get mysteriously deleted too.
