Anyone coming to either the Progress Wrestling show in London on July 28th or the Over The Top Wrestling Scrappermania show in Wolverhampton on August 9th to see Danhausen wrestle? Gonna have some bracelets if anyone wants to say hi and celebrate Danhausen global domination

wip wednesday <3 :)
hello friends :) happy wednesday, hope you are well! happiest of birthdays to my babygirl Alex Claremont-Diaz, love you endlessly my beautiful big brained bisexual disaster with a heart of gold
thank you to @jellibuns @junebugclaremontdiaz @violetbaudelaire-quagmire @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @piratefalls @bigassbowlingballhead @leojfitz @ships-to-sail @suseagull04 @dragonflylady77 @kiwiana-writes @onthewaytosomewhere @wordsofhoneydew @priincebutt @magicandarchery @leaves-of-laurelin @eusuntgratie @duchessdepolignaca03 @saturntheday @itsmaybitheway @captainjunglegym @indestructibleheart @oxfordslutphase @tailsbeth-writes for the tags this week and on sunday :)
here's a snip from a tiny spy au coming this week if i can wrangle these men into submission:
“I'm serious, Alex. No theatrics. Certainly no blood. What's the code for trouble?”
“Barracuda.”
Henry clicks his tongue. “Too many syllables for my taste.”
“Your name is too many syllables for my taste, yet you don't see me complaining.”
“Touché.” He grasps Alex's shoulder, taking a long look into Alex's eyes. Henry's body is serene, but his eyes are always his tell for Alex. They're cloudy, tense; murky waters. “Be careful, please. We both know how dangerous these men are. Manu is unpredictable, even as the mafia equivalent of a middle manager.”
“Aw, worried about me, sweetheart?” Alex grins, but it's a little unsteady, faltering at the edges. “Henry. This is easy. And if I’m lucky, no dicks will have to come out.” He laughs, but there’s no humor in it. He really, really doesn’t want any dicks out this time. “See you in five, okay?” He squeezes Henry's arm, then slips out of the supply closet. Back to work.
xoxo roop

one issue i have with i guess american wrestling (cause i see it here the most) , is the weird pressure to shed "unserious" gimmicks in exchange for something more badass or whatever. like you are just stripping something unique and dooming the wrestler to just be another generic first name/last name.
part of what makes wrestling fun is the suspension of disbelief, the cooky little characters that play with what's possible and what's not! and i think the mistake that american wrestling makes, (specifically now talking about aew) is the assumption that the crowd doesn't like that.
jungle boy was awesome, the crowd loved it it was cool that a man from the jungle was thrown into the ring. luchasauras was rEALLY awesome, everyone loves a big beast of a man who protects the little guys. danhausen is incredibly big with the crowd, he;s one of the top merch selling wrestlers. kris statlander is awesome, but like i do feel like if she were still an alien (or had some semblance of it) she'd be even more over than she is now...and STING HELLOOO??
i really hope they quickly stop doing this to wrestlers and realize it's doing more harm than good to a lot of their talent.. let them work with their gimmick, if a few guys online hate it who gives a shit?? they're not the one buying tickets!

It’s actually really annoying they didn’t film Boom in an actual quarry. It’s too sterile looking. Go watch any classic who episode set in a quarry and watch how the actors get dirty falling down rock piles and into mud and how smoke from the pyrotechnics looks so good in camera. Yeah the downside is you can see the tire-tracks from work vehicles on supposedly alien planets, but everything else looks 100x better than that LED soundstage. Let doctor who actors go outside

After the DoN media scrum I am begging AEW to do the right thing
Between Ospreay sounding legitimately disappointed when he said he didn't think he was allowed to fight the Stardom wrestlers, and TK saying that as well as discussing women's tag titles he'd considered a mixed tag title
PLEASE give us actual intergender matches
(I've been saying for so long if we had actual mixed tag teams we could do a valentine's tag tournament with all the couples in AEW as teams, it'd be SO good)

[This is just me screaming into the void, please pay me no mind.]
So. Another quiet and calm week in professional wrestling I see. If nothing else, I wasn't expecting them to actually air the footage, so points for audacity I guess? Tony Schiavone looking like he would rather be at the centre of the sun than here really captures my feelings on this. Just... God, can we please just move on? You are all adults. Start behaving as such, and stop devoting yet more TV time to someone who does even work for you. ffs.
My apologies for the rant, I'm sure you're already sick for death of hearing about this. I'm still excited for dynasty, and I'm shure aew will have one good show and my mark ass will be all smiles again, but this has really put a downer on it all.
