Ditto @benbaker.bsky.social , who has thrown many an idea and music track my way, for which I tend to pay dues via the Noisebox Radio NIPS exhibitions.

As you wish. I've basically got to spend a weekend raiding costume stores ahead of Tuesday anyway.

@nxpwrestling.bsky.social is now live, for those who wish to follow Matt directly. Apparently we exposed a bit of an issue when I wasn't here to update anything.

Incidentally, I gather you saw our backstage reaction to that match. I'm not going to apologise for showing my emotions, but suffice it to say it was a joy to behold. There were people refusing to debut until this was resolved, now it is, the floodgates are open. Maybe even a little refresh...

In case anyone is interested or concerned, aside from a few powder burns and scratches, all parties are fine. Martin did check everyone over, or as much as Ms Whitehouse would allow.

Well, that's over. You can probably tell from my voice how part of this went, but if you want to catch up: www.twitch.tv/videos/25934...

Well, I don't know how this is going to go, but we're live.

Fasten your seatbelts, folks...

What started as a stop gap to fill a void after our good friend Mentuss took time off quickly bloomed into something I didnt think I'd still be doing a year later. 250+ roster members and counting!

Couldn't have done it without Doc and Matt either, I'll always be very grateful for their input!

So something occurred to me this is the 1 year anniversary, or near enough.
We've had our ups and downs, but today a good part of this company could be ripped away for the sake of protecting people that were never the target audience. It'll be a strange vibe, that's for sure.

Playing the Solid Gold Top 40 Hits

Following my star turn as support to the pop band Spray this weekend, I've decided to stop all my obscure nonsense and made "Middle-Aged Teenage Angst" a proper Top 40 show. Come hear the hits - Tuesday at 8pm on @noiseboxradio.com

I always forget I'm a bit older than you are, so this from around the same time may slip by, Wo-Gan:

And we're done.
Take home is that it's an IronPerson match (Mary's name obvs), and in the interest of accessibility all foreign objects will be made visible to all parties at bell time for strategic purposes.
Now I just have to finish building them.

The one amusing thing in all this is translating "wrestling" back to Geordie ('catch' in German) has had Mary constantly reiterating that there's no catch, she's being straight with him.

I still think this is punishment duty.

I mean, we've been half an hour debating the best format to remove luck components, because "gambling is the tool of Satan". I did wonder why the points bets had disappeared in my absence, because I know more than me can work the machine m

In a meeting acting as interpreter as Mary and Geordie agree match terms. I think time has actually stopped...

Brian Blessed is 89 today. He has asked us for one present, an open challenge at Battermania 4 next Thursday. We aren't saying no....

Twitch Twitch is the world

My thoughts are, if this is the last time we go hardcore in RWF, I intend to go out with a bang, possibly literally. All that's left for me to say is that I hope it doesn't overshadow the rest of the card, and that you'll join us next week on October 16th for Battermania 4 at www.twitch.tv/ryoxilla

Matt will make his own statement in his own time I'm sure, but the important thing here is to leave no room for challenge or ambiguity - Neutral official in charge, and a ruleset that removes any potential luck element. All that is left is the hardcore element. That is on me to provide as normal.

So now we have an endgame in sight. One hardcore match, we win, we operate free of interference. We lose, NXP is gone for good. I've spoken to Geordie, and if I may paraphrase and translate, he is up for the challenge, seeing it as a moral crusade - having lived through this in his other work.

To do that, I had to be seen to object to the process, publicly attacking Matt while privately supporting him (turns out, you hang around stage school types long enough, you pick up some acting skills by osmosis). Apologies to those who were misled, but you must understand why.

When it became clear that there was a deliberate effort to stop our development territory from operating during the suspensions, steps were taken. The remaining staff, Anton LeDec and @mattnaismith.bsky.social arranged a broadcast, which could be plausibly disavowed.

No show tonight as NXP is still blocked. I guess I haven't spoken about all this yet, but I would suggest you at least watch the most recent Super Rumble show before reading on, for the context. 🧵

And Anton played his part these last few days too. I presume it was you who lobbied for my comeback, or did Charles do that independently?
Anyway, let me derig this, and tomorrow I will think about Phase 2. I might need some support on that, though.
