as a woman who grew up with an emotionally abusive mother constantly telling me I needed to wear more makeup/more revealing clothing/date (boys) more/go out to "normal" parties more, I despise "she should be at the club"
god forbid some people- especially young women, who already have to deal with a thousand different behavioral standards from a thousand different directions -not have the same dreams and desires for their lives as you do for yours
fucking hell. the correct response to "women should stay at home and have kids and be submissive wives" prescriptivism was not MORE PRESCRIPTIVISM
(I also just saw a poll asking if people partied as teenagers, and OP responded that the answers were "killing them" because No was winning. like? why is everyone so personally invested in other people having a very specific kind of fun?)
Guys terrible news, i've reviewed the tapes and I know we thought we all saw just the BCC fracture beyond repair with the BryanMox divorce in Chicago September 7th, 2024 but I think we actually all saw the BCC fracture beyond repair with the BryanMox irreconcilable differences in Chicago on November 23rd, 2022
Regal Fucks Over Mox to try and teach the BCC to teach Yuta that betrayal can come from anywhere, trust No One, always keep your head on a swivel.
This is his means of exiting gracefully and Being of Use to the BCC when he feels he no longer serves a purpose and has a value, simply being loved is not good enough when he nothing to teach or value to impart.
Mox shows up at the Dynamite in Chicago on 11/23 after full gear ready to tear Regal apart, but Bryan stops him. This seems to be somewhat unexpected for Regal, but even more so the fact that eventually Mox listens when Bryan pleads for Bryan to let him go 'for me, if for no other reason than I love him'.
We find out two weeks later that Regal has recorded a final goodbye message to the BCC where he says that Jon Moxley is a calculating man and will understand his message before affirming that he is Blackpool Combat Club until he dies. Mox seems confused, and responds after a moment:
"The only thing I know is that the three men in this ring, live and breathe Professional Wrestling, call us whatever the hell you want."
The three men in the ring that night are Jon, Claudio, and Yuta.
What happened Jon? Decide Bryan wasn't living and breathing professional wrestling anymore so you had to set the example and have him stop breathing?
Or were you just waiting all this time? Until he was the champion Because as we all know. You aren't really the champion until you have your first title defense.
“I want gay things to happen to me now” I say, sitting at home being an unpleasant harridan with weird interests and very specific romantic tastes and life goals not common among my preferred dating demographic
Thanks to those who let me know that yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of The Eltingville Club's first appearance in Instant Piano #1 from Dark Horse Comics. I had no idea! Terrifying!
