Compilation of Characters Coming Out (to the reader) Part 1

Compilation of how I’ve had my characters confirmed queer, since it is sometimes hard to work it in. Some are actually coming out scenes, but some are ways it’s come up more naturally.

Raymond (Trans)

Raymond took out what I recognized to be a whisper case, took one out, and put it in his mouth before taking a bite of his sandwich. It was how people often took whispers when they needed to regularly (usually vival, for medical reasons), but since I wasn’t sure why he’d be taking it I raised an eyebrow questioningly.

“It’s to up testosterone production,” he said, taking a drink of water.

“Well I got them pierced when I was really young— both Mika and I did, and by the time you knew me, I’d transitioned and wasn’t wearing earrings ever. But they haven’t closed, and in the last year I’ve occasionally put studs in.”

Although there were a few pictures displayed of them as babies and a few of just Mika, I found a folder where Ariel had hidden away any pictures of Raymond looking feminine as a child, likely hidden away with his coming out.

Leeanne (wlw)

“And,” she said. “Then Kamilla broke up with me.”

That was enough to shock Sam again. And he felt himself freezing up a bit, busy looking at her while he processed it.

Samson (Gay)

“You don’t have to answer, Sam, but are you—”

“No,” Sam said quickly, his mind on magic and his incompetence, and everything that’d lead her to suspect others might catch—

“—gay?”

“Oh, yes—” Sam’s relief that the question was different led him to switch gears in relief before he realized he’d just given up a different secret. “No, wait—” His eyes widened and he dropped his watterbottle in the sink.

Logan (bigender/nonbinary)

I pressed a finger over the sigils I’d gotten tattooed on my collarbone, taking a deep breath to make sure they were charged. One that made sure no one questioned my gender, one that made sure no one questioned my age. They’d both helped me avoid awkward conversations or having to come up with explanations, but sometimes, they couldn’t stop the question from hanging in the air. Like it just had.

“Oh, a bit of one. Logan, I know you’ve met Sarah and Cyrene, have you met Cyrene’s son, Kaine? Kaine, this is Logan— they use they/them,” Cassia introduced us.

“What are your pronouns?” I asked. As soon as I said it, even though everyone told me it was always best to ask, I got nervous, like maybe I shouldn’t’ve for some reason. But that disappeared quickly, because Logan seemed to light up.

“They/them,” they said, and smiled brightly. “And, bigender, if you’re curious.”

Will/Kaine (bisexual)

[A scene where he kisses Ryan]

But even then, I was confident in myself. I knew who I was. I’d even found a label for myself: not gay, bisexual— and I whispered it to myself when I was alone.

“Was he your boyfriend?” Ivory asked quietly. Despite everything, my instinct was to deny it, to protect him. But I could now. “Yeah,” I said. Then I remembered our current weird situation. “That’s not why, though, Ivory, I’m bi. You’re too young, you—”

Gene (gay/mlm)

Gene nodded. “Did you—” he started, then stopped, looking down at his hands. He glanced at the door, which he’d closed. When he spoke again, he didn’t look at me, and his voice was quiet. “Did you know?”

“Know?” I thought I knew what he meant but I wasn’t sure.

“Know I was… like you.”

I felt a grin spreading over my face. I couldn’t help it. “Um, I suspected. You are?”

He nodded.

It's innovative, if nothing else, I suppose. Along with the first Shine Champion, Rain, is back out of retirement, which is great news! (Do note that the number of ??? Entrants I've added there is arbitrary; WWN have said more will be added, not that it will always be a 20-woman Rumble.)

Get your tickets here or check it out on iPPV at .

Free matches!

Candice LeRae vs. Kimber Lee

From the fine folks over at Women's Wrestling Revolution Pro, we have action with shades of the Mae Young Classic! Abbey Laith takes on Candice Wrestling in a past life, check it out!

Darby Allin vs. Josh Briggs

From the good people over at Limitless Wrestling we have a clash of up-and-comers. Darby Allin burst onto the scene from out of nowhere in Evolve over a year ago as a daredevil who has not yet fulfilled the thing he is not willing to jump off of and Briggs has just erupted onto my radar as a hugely athletic big man so hey, check it out and get yourself a new favorite, right?

CWF Mid-Atlantic Worldwide Ep. #135

I reckon it's time we checked in on our pals over at CWF again because they have a doozy of a hoot lined up for us tonight as national treasure White Mike takes on CWF Heavyweight Champion Trevor Lee in a non-title match! When you haven't seen Mike in action, you are in for a treat, folks.

Results

MLW Never Say Never (December 7)

"Whoa hey, Rev, what's this? No results again? What are you tryin' to pull here?!"

Well, I'm trying to pull the same thing that I did the last time I did so, which is to say that MLW have published this whole show free for nothin' on YouTube! Don't let me spoil you, check it out here--

RPW Uprising 2018 (December 8)

Kurtis Chapman over David Starr, El Phantasmo, "Flash" Morgan Webster (c), and Ryan Smile to acquire the RPW British Cruiserweight Championship

Jinny over Martina

Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) (c) over Josh Bodom & Zack Gibson to keep the RPW British Tag Team Championship

Cody Rhodes (c) over Jay Lethal to retain the ROH World Championship

Pete Dunne over Eddie Dennis

Martin Stone over Dave Mastiff

Zack Sabre, Jr. (c) over Matt Riddle to keep the RPW British Heavyweight Championship

Bullet Club (Marty Scurll, Matt Jackson, & Nick Jackson) over #CCK (Chris Brookes & Travis Banks) & Flip Gordon

RevPro closed out their year with a bang as up-and-comer Chapman rose above the fray to become Cruiserweight Champion. Plus Cody retained the ROH title and left programs for Final Battle intact thanks to (or perhaps despite) some interference from Scurll, and while Eddie Dennis' losing streak continues he may not be carried out in RevPro just yet, as Rob Lias attacked him after his match.

Plus, we've already got a big match made for High Stakes next year, as Zack Sabre, Jr. cut a promo after his match saying he's defended against everyone and wants to challenge, together with Minoru Suzuki, for the tag names.

Check it out on RPW On Demand, folks.

CZW Cage of Death 19 (December 9)

Storm of Entrails (Dan O'Hare & SHLAK) over Blackwater, G-Raver, John Silver, Kody Rice, & Shane Sabre to win the Ultimate Opportunity Coin

Matt Tremont over Jimmy Lloyd (Thumbtack Massacre Deathmatch)

Mr. Claxton over Alex Colon

Nick "Magnus" Aldis over Tim Storm (c) to win the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship

Jimmy Jacobs over Jimmy Havoc

Chrissy Rivera & Greg Excellent over Ace Romero

Maxwell Jacob Friedman over Joey Janela (c) to win the CZW Wired Championship

Rickey Shane Page (c) over "Chainsaw" Joe Gacy and Shane Strickland to retain the CZW World Heavyweight Championship (Cage of Death)

Well, we covered one bit of big news in the show elsewhere on the website, so I will skip over that and break down the rest of what's interesting here. Danny Havoc returned to the Combat Zone to beat on Conor Claxton after his match, DJ Hyde declared Will Ospreay for their WrestleMania weekend show, MJF's victory means that Joey Janela's Wired Championship reign never happened, but he paid dearly for it as Penelope Ford at long last rejoined forces with Joey.

And in the main event, Gacy's followers got involved, leading to a cavalcade of interference from the likes of Kit Osbourne, Dan Barry, and Anthony Gangone! At the same time, after the match, Nick Gage strolled through the crowd and into the cage for a confrontation which CZW do their best to scrub from the net. Work? Shoot? Together with the King, you never know!

Check it out on CZW Studios, folks.

Evolve 96 / 97 (December 9-10)

--Evolve 96 (December 9)--

Dominic Garrini over Joey Lynch

Kyle the Beast & Shane Mercer over Matt Knicks & Stevie Fierce

Jarek 1:20 over Stephen Wolf

Zack Sabre, Jr.. Over DJZ

AR Fox over Jason Kincaid

Darby Allin over Austin Theory

Grab Point (Jaka & "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams) (c) vs. WorkHorsemen (Anthony Henry & James Drake) goes to a no competition (Evolve Tag Team Championship)

Matt Riddle over Fred Yehi (No Rope Breaks Match)

Keith Lee (c) over WALTER to keep the WWN Championship

--Evolve 97 (December 10)--

Dominic Garrini over Craig Mitchell

Matt Knicks & Stevie Fierce over Brandon Watts & Stephen Wolf

Jarek 1:20 vs. Jason Kincaid goes to a ten-minute time limit draw

WorkHorsemen (Anthony Henry & James Drake) over Kyle the Beast & Shane Mercer

AR Fox over DJZ

Darby Allin over Keith Lee and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, earning the right to any match of his choosing in 2018

Austin Theory over Fred Yehi (c) to win the FIP World Heavyweight Championship

Matt Riddle over WALTER (No Rope Breaks Match)

Zack Sabre, Jr. (c) over Jaka to keep the Evolve World Championship

As always when I can point you to my recaps (Evolve 96, 97), I will do so and keep it short and sweet here, but suffice it to say, I believe the new format is a success. I could do without intermissions, but the preliminary matches are a cool way get some new talent in. In addition to the push for no rope rests is pretty sweet and is leading to some innovative stuff.

Check 'em out on , folks.

Beyond Cold Brew (December 10)

WALTER over David Starr

Brian Milonas & Cam Zagami over Anthony Greene & Brick Mastone by disqualification

Wheeler YUTA over Mike Verna (Tournament For Tomorrow 2017 Semifinal Match)

Amityville Project (Rex Lawless & Ryan Galeone) over American Gaijin (Jay Freddie & Rory Gulak)

AR Fox & Austin Theory over Brandon Watts & Zenshi

Ace Romero over Josh Briggs (Tournament For Tomorrow 2017 Semifinal Match)

Matt Riddle over Martin Stone

Darby Allin over John Silver

Keith Lee over Joey Janela

A couple injuries shuffled the card, but the show must go on and the Tournament For Tomorrow Finals are set with Ace Romero and Wheeler YUTA prepared to go head to head! And, as it turns out, Evolve is not the only place AR Fox has a posse, because the Watts/Zenshi team is finally done to get good, with Brandon turning on the erstwhile Shynron to hook up with Fox and Theory.

Check it out on Powerbomb.tv, folks.

Progress Chapter 59: Whatever People Say We Are, That's What We're Not (December 10)

Rampage Brown over Doug Williams

Chris Ridgeway over Adam Chase

Jack Sexsmith over Amir Jordan, Chief Deputy Dunne, Gabriel Kidd, Pastor William Eaver, Primate, Saxon Huxley, and Spike Trivet

Joseph Conners over Chuck Mambo

Chris Brookes over Matt Cross

Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) (c) over Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) to keep the Progress Tag Team Championship

Travis Banks (c) over Eddie Dennis to keep the Progress Championship

As always when I recap a show I will keep it short and sweet here in Sermon and mother of god, traveling issues from the weather really did a number on this one, didn't they? The show must go on, obviously, and while the lack of British Strong Mode, "Flash" Morgan Webster, and Mark Andrews is keenly felt a whole lot of new faces made to show their stuff and former champion Rampage Brown made his return!

Check it out when it hits Demand Progress, folks.

As always...

Remember folks, no matter which sort of wrestling you like, no matter how down you feel about the state of WWE, Impact, ROH, or any other "big-time" pro wrestling, there's something out there for you. There's a pro wrestling product that can hit you in the ideal spot and make you love wrestling as you thought you'd never have the ability to love it again. It's there, I promise. You just gotta reach out and find it, and that, my friends, is what the Sermon on the Mat is all about.
