The instagram promos alex did before matches this month were cool. Does he plan to do that often and will chris do some too? I think it is a good idea to help make up for the boys not talking much on tv. wwe fans put a lot of importance on online activity.

I think the issue is that the boys actually live about an hour away from each other so they can’t just do unplanned promos super easily!

I think they should though as that WWE Superstars video tasting the French desserts went over super well with the fans. I know they are working with Hardway Films to help them film content and I appreciate them very much for hiring someone to do that. When I tried to tell Alex how much that gear costs for him to buy it himself, he looked like he was about to go into cardiac arrest 🥲

This was really fun to watch. Especially seeing Sabin so happy.

I saw people posting Alex Shelley and Nathan Frazer working out at the gym from IG stories, but not the one where you can see Alex Shelley’s comment 😂

What’s the funniest experience you had as a wrestling photographer with MCMG? One that you’ll never forget?

Check my “ask me anything” tag because I have some good stories. This is a recent one I posted but if you find the photos of Chris Sabin playing piano backstage, that is definitely one of my favorite moments.

Priscilla Kelly/Gigi Dolin might be one of my favorite photoshoots I’ve ever done.

📸 Shot by me!

I woke Ami up from her nap only for her to see her man get thrown on the outside of the ring. Sorry, girliepop!! 😭

Thanks the dragonfruit pics! They’re so cute :D Wish they weren’t so expensive tho ):

They’re super expensive because unfortunately, a good majority of them require manual hand pollination to set fruit! If you ever are in an area where they grow well, it’s best to buy them from a dragon fruit specific farm that picks them when they’re ripe. Best areas to find them in the US: Hawaii, Southern California, Louisiana, and Florida.

Hi, new MCMG fan here. I was scrolling through your blog and just wanted to say that your job is so cool! Your photos are amazing but I’m more impressed with the fact that you grow your own dragonfruits??? Are there really 30 varieties? My local market only carries 2 kinds (the red and white one) on a good day 😆.

Oh yeah, there are many different varieties based on the same colors: white, light pink, magenta, and red. There’s actually closer to hundreds at this point because when you grow a dragon fruit from seed to fruit, that is a new variety. The variety only grows true to fruit if you grow it from a cutting. Didn’t think I would be talking about my dragon fruit hobby, but here I am 😂

If you went to circle back on this topic with wrestling: Masha Slamovich and Speedball Mike Bailey are really big fans of my fruits. Bringing my fruits to shows I work during the growing season if one of my favorite activities.

Hey so I think you saw my recent post about making a cosplay based off of Sabin's ring gear and I was wondering if you have any close ups of he's recent gear in your stash of photos?

I'm trying to replicate a specific pair but any detail shots of any of his shorts would be helpful just to see the type of materials and technics used. Also, in general would love to know the story behind the shorts if there is one. He's the only wrestler I've seen wear the style so I'm curious what the deciding factor was to go from trunks to the current form.

I don’t have specific closeups (like I’ve done with Alex in the past) but here’s some action shots I’ve taken of his typical gear:

What’s the quirkiest thing Chris or Alex has ever done?

In-ring, anything both of them did at Wrestling Revolver! Sami Callihan (the promoter/owner) is really close friends with them so they basically had free reign to do whatever shenanigans they wanted there.

[dtan0914]

Is this true that Alex went during one of his matches to pat a Dog?

If so that is one of the most adorable things.

I haven’t seen this but I wouldn’t be surprised! He does lots of quirky things during matches, like sometimes he used to ask me to kiss him during his entrances. Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

[dtan0914]

In case anyone needed to know, Chris Sabin liked my comment comparing them to pusheens SO MCMG AS PUSHEENS ARE CANON. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DRAW THIS!

[dtan0914]

What’s your thoughts on Giulia?

So!!! I actually was at the STARDOM event in Tokyo that Giulia first made her appearance at after abruptly leaving Ice Ribbon (on bad terms).

I think she’s a great wrestler and super happy with the trajectory of her career. She’s stiff like the Japanese Joshi style but because she’s half, she’s a little bit more appealing to a wider audience. I hope that she continues to do well!

[dtan0914]

I hope you have a fun safe time at All In! Enjoy that vacation - much deserved! <3

Thank you!! I appreciate it a lot.

[dtan0914]

Do you ever see the boys doing a mini run down in NXT. I feel like they could have a lot of fun and have a great time since NXT is known for being extremely chaotic.

Yes they are very interested! They did a little stopover at NXT on their way home from the last European tour and had a great time mingling with the younger talents.

[dtan0914]

Every now and then I’ll ask the boys fan questions from social media. This was one was too good not to ask 😂

[dtan0914]

I got stickers! If you see me at a wrestling show I’m working on, let me know if you want one. I will be at GCW in Dallas on 7/11 (working) and at All In (attending as a fan). 🥰

Please don’t be shy to approach me because I need to do better in interacting with fans!! Instead of me being like, “oh shucks why do you recognize me I always have a camera in my face” 😩😩
