So when y'all praise Dusty for his gimmick y'all should really be praising Thunderbolt Patterson.

Not in the HOF

Not in the HOF: Demolition

Despite being one of the most prominent tag team in the 1980s WWF, Demolition is still not inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

There was multiple reason why Demolition wasn't inducted, from Demolition AX suing WWE for the character rights lawsuit to both members participating the concussion lawsuit against the WWE in 2016 which effectively killed their chances getting inducted in their lifetime when Vince Mcmahon is still alive and in charge.

With Triple H being fully in charge, hopefully Demolition finally gets their flower and their long overdue HOF induction before Demolition Ax passed away.

Accolade:

3x WWF World Tag Team Champion

NEW COMIC REVIEW!! I couldn't wait to post this one, today I took a look at the first issue of Warrior, a series written by former WWF champion Ultimate Warrior, presumably while on cocaine because I sure as fuck don't know what's happening in it.

I've been wanting to find this thing for a very long time, since reading up on the series on i-mockery.com like, over 15 years ago?! I remember doing art of this character back in middle school just for funsies. It's simultaneously even better and so much worse than I could have ever imagined and I'm so happy.

A Couple of Tough Guys!

Dicky Brown might not be big enough to pin his father to the mat, but he claims he can put it all over Lou Plummer's son, Buddy. Dicky, 51-pound 5-year-old husky, is pictured above with his father Orville Brown, well known manler.

Dicky rides a pony on his father's farm wat Wallace, Kas, and is no mean jockey. However, his first love is wrestling and he works out every day in his dad's gym. His one ambition right now is to wrestle the 50-pound Plummer youngster. Both lads are near five years old.

Dicky's father mixes with Dick Raines in the feature match at Agoga Tabernackle Tuesday night.

listen so closely to me i think liliana temult is a fascinating character and she’s really fun to examine morally but also nothing will ever come fucking close catharsis-wise to watching ashton and orym fucking cross examine her ass in episode 92. the sexiest shit i’ve ever seen “your worst fear is probably my worst fear, and i think we just got a little sample (my worst fear came true because you weren’t fast enough, what will you do when it’s her head on the line?)” and “keep wrestling (you must bear the weight of their deaths on your conscience and know it will never be enough for what you took from me)” like holy SHIT you guys

was watching this documentary on transfem pageantry from 2007 and was so surprised when i saw chyna was a judge for it

I was so goddamn excited to finally come across the first issue of the infamous "Warrior" series, penned by former WWF champion and certified madman Ultimate Warrior, that I had to recreate it in my own art style. Original cover art /art in the comic is by Jim Callahan.

This is also one of the first things I've made in Clip Studio Paint which I really recommend for anyone wanting to make the jump up from GIMP or get away from Photoshop, so far I'm finding it pretty straightforward.

TOP 10 OTHER MEDIA FANDOMS ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS,SINGLE CATEGORY TAG ONLY VERSION (2009-2022)

If you want to see the Other Media bar chart with the muti-category fandoms included, please check this post.

To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the Other Media Category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, manually filtered for fandoms belonging in only one category, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

In 2009, Computers & Software (Anthropomorphic), Nebulous (Radio Show), LOLcasts and Planescape (Roleplaying Game) are also tied with 1 fanwork at last place.

Fandom tags that are no longer in the Other Media category tag as of posting this are left out of the bar chart race. These tags are usually either miscategorized or already have other tags referring to the same fandom.

Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

Edit: If you don't see a fandom on the chart, it may be because that fandom only has a multicategory tag and no Other Media category only tag. (E.g. Homestuck)
