My Time With Hak
βI've known The Sandman for a long time. Gun to his head, he'd still struggle to even recall my first name. We spent more than a year prepping for his podcast, & before we launched, we almost didn't.β

Notes From Korakuen Hall, Row N
"Everything around the building is much brighter and alluring. It's all very humble and serviceable here in Korakuen Hall, the home of Japanese pro wrestling."

Independence Day
After quitting my job, I'm five-wrestlers-deep in a Toyota Corolla on my way to an East Coast 4th of July party that's also a wrestling show. Iβm unaware of how much my life is about to change.

I have a few stories in the works right now & I'm excited to share them as they begin to take shape.
I initially planned to publish every week, but some of these really just need time to breathe and develop, which obv takes precedence over publishing for the sake of publishing.

We have run a new story every week for the past 10 weeks, and I'm deeply proud of every one so far.
It has been rewarding (and fun!) to work with some of my favorite wrestling writers, collaborate with wrestlers, and share some writing of my own.

Hey all, no story this week, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shared kind words & helped to spread the word about Moonsault Press.
Working on something I'm super excited about, but it needs a little extra time & I didn't want to rush to finish it this week.

"Amid the early-2000s arms race of wrestlers bumping from higher and higher places, Vic Grimes planted his flag w/ one of the riskiest spots of all time. Against all odds, it went catastrophically right."
