it’s truly WILD stuff. it would be incredible without the context but with it, it’s downright batshit

wrestlers are so, so stupid. like with peace and love. but still.

barthes says wrestling is 'an Exhibition of Suffering' and says that concealed actions ruin the expected sociology of a match which i think IS true but it's fascinating that mox especially is interested in deliberately disrupting that - he doesn't particularly WANT the spectacle

"But the thing I've noticed is different is the timing and the pacing and the kind of rhythm of the matches and shit. WWE has a certain style. New Japan has a certain style. The cool thing about AEW is that there's no certain house style. So you get like Penta and Fenix and Kommander. And these motherfuckers are doing pure lucha straight out of fucking Mexico City. Jim Ross was about to have a coronary the first fucking few months of the company. Because he just couldn't understand why these motherfuckers weren't grabbing the tag rope? It's like, 'they're just doing it man.' "And like fucking Ishii comes in. He's doing his stuff. So it's different psychologies. But, I like to fuck with shit. We did the shit with the brick. I remember, in the mo-ment, I was like, I'm going to roll out and grab that brick so fast and smash his fingers with a brick so quick that

nobody's going to even be able to fucking digest what they saw. "Which would normally go against completely against Wrestling 101. Like, you don't want to do anything too fast because people have to be able to absorb what they see. And if you do it too fast, they won't be able to react to it. So you want to slow everything down and play to the last seat in the audience. Play to the nosebleed seats. And so everybody can see and every-thing. I did the opposite— just to see what would happen. "I'll do that a lot of times just to play with these fucking rules that everybody says are rules and just see what happens. I could have brought out the goddamn brick and been like, 'hey, everybody, here's the brick.' And they'd be like, 'oh, no, a brick. And then do whatever the fucking spot we did. And then they're like, 'yay' or 'boo', depending on who took the brick. But by that point, they're not as shocked by the brick. "So, I'm trying to sneak this brick out with no fan-fare. I don't even care if you notice or not. Roll out. Grab the goddamn brick. Snatch his fucking fingers. Then it's different. It's like, 'what the fuck just happened? Was that a goddamn brick? Oh, my God.' You know what I mean? "I'm two or three steps ahead, just moving on without them. And they're getting left in the dust, and they're like, 'what the fuck is going on?' And they're desperately trying to keep up, this match is out of control. 'Oh, my God' That way, when the match is over, they're tired, they're exhausted, and they're out of breath. And they're like, 'what the fuck was that? That wasn't even wrestling. That was some kind of fucking horrible shit. What did I just see?'

this is tangential to another wrestling academia project i'm working on but this section of way of the blade with mox is so interesting - especially when you think about wrestling as an 'excess of spectacle' like barthes claimed it was. the psychology of this really scratches my brain

do ittttt

bex in a black shirt reading “kill your idols” along with leather shorts and a black harness. they’re flipping off the camera and have dark eyeliner and red lipstick on.

bex in the same outfit in a photo booth - they have a lesbian flag around their shoulders and are looking down to the right with a small smile

glasgow pride definitely happened

I made this too.

Surprise! You give me a platform to talk about the AEW women’s division and you bet I’m taking it!!

Kallum and I discuss All In, I yap about Toni as ever, and I remain one of the premier Alex Windsor girlies. Come say hey!

It’s an archive of sorts - I’d like it to have menu functionality of some kind or even a tagging system for easy reference

Between season 1 and 2, yeah! They made a hard swing

I am looking for a place to host a little site for a project I’m working on - preferably one that doesn’t force AI features on me. I considered Notion but their recent swing to AI put me off. Suggestions welcome!!

Right! I was super surprised! Great get for them and I’ll probably rewatch it as it airs on ITV.

A tweet from ITV Sport announcing they’re airing AEW All In Texas for free on Thursday July 17 at 9pm

To any of my UK wrestle pals, ITV4 is airing AEW’s All In Texas for FREE on Thursday at 9pm 🤼‍♂️

Well worth tuning in, it was SUCH a good show

These days? Nah

For sure - there’s a real disconnect between seeing this guy that you could run into at a HMV and then the massive dinosaur chasing him lmao

lmaoooo shade on them. douglas henshall remains booked and busy in his niche as sad grumpy Scottish detective, let’s not get it twisted

It’s not unique to Primeval either - the shows of the time often had this feeling and I crave that sometimes - especially in my SFF.

Makes it feel real in a way that even the best CG cant do

Oh I find myself coming back to it so often and the comforting feeling it gives is genuinely top tier

Six people stood in front of a CG dinosaur. All are dressed in very standard, non fancy street clothes

I’ve almost definitely made this exact post before but I am once again rewatching ITV Primeval and there’s something so refreshing in the low-budget, average wardrobe and actors that look like…regular people rather than Hollywood stars.

Like. I could see all these people on the street!

Gender is to be celebrated, played with and enjoyed, not earned or gained through pain, weirdos

Please know that every time @phoenixforce.bsky.social and I are watching something and a Fantastic Four ad comes on it is a ruthless race to see who can go SO, HERE'S THE THING the millisecond Ben Grimm shows up

likely thing for you to say

She was on TV a few weeks ago ending her little promo segment with “I’m here and I’m queer” - she’s the best

she’s bisexual in real life and the character she plays as her wrestling gimmick is a lesbian! gaydar has not steered you wrong!!

she tried SO hard

Her real laugh gets me every time. Truly watching her brain try to process all the jokes she could make was a treat

her exact words were “oh we gotta take another one to make fun of your girlfriend and make her really jealous”

@venusleo.bsky.social did incredible work with it! would rec any of their stuff

*ahem*

We're just getting started ;)
