Andos | Patreon Wrestling Video Essays

I Want to make an announcement!

I have officially set up a Patreon. $3/Month gets you access to videos that Samurao TV claimed, and removed from my channel. As well as other perks I will add once I get some steam.

Aew is in such an interesting place where they are doing great stuff but I will 100% like it less when their main eventers come back.

Like I donr care about Edge, Swerve, Ospreay and MJF. I dont like big stars in my wrestling - I love B Tiers who work hard and can lose.

genealogy of the holy war

5 videos in 11 days - 1 of them is a re-upload, but the other 4 are not.

i'm so talented.

speaking personally: I use it to lurk and as an aggregator for information because people still use it. Helpful for Melee and Wrestling updates because Reddit is not terribly reliable to force them to me.

Is it worth the algorithm that prioritizes making you mad? Probably not

I think I was just disappointed because I wanted LIJ shirts like the ones they'd wear in Japan, and not US variants special for the show.

It was 2018/2019, so maybe they got better, but I was so annoyed that they basically weren't stocking Austin 3:16 shirts lol

I have like 16 mma videos that I wrote that I can bang out in a day or two each so im gonna do that for a little while and THEN I promise ill make good videos again.

Until then its slop o clock.

If Chris uploaded regularly then he, like my other son Joseph, would also get too big and not talk to dad anymore.

Very talented boy, very good video.

Njpw selling something people want? Perish the thought (i went to 3 njpw shows and they never had any design of a shirt youd see from Japan, just US variants)

Idk what you think you're explaining man, I get why people like the match, it's just a fundamental disconnect in what is appealing to most people and what is appealing to me

I don't think this makes me some advanced fan or anything, people like what they like, but I just can't comprehend watching AEW and saying "hell yeah" to Moxley/O'Reilly over a segment that potentially sets up 6 or 7 things in Thekla/Mina.

It just doesn't compute in my brain.

Will the match be good? I dunno, that's not my business, but booking the match is so good. Making the 4 way tag match for the title tournament also the group that are feuding and are doing Blood and Guts is genius.

Legitimately the most compelling part of Dynamite this week imo

I really do wish anybody was into wrestling booking instead of the things that booking makes good.

WWE fans just like entrances and moments
AEW fans just like matches

and I Feel so insane for watching Dynamite and saying "damn, Thekla/Mina was booked, that's really good"

YouTube video by Forrest How Kazushi Sakuraba Changed The World | MMA Documentary

www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtQE...

a throwaway MMA Video (that i think is exceptional, but it was made in 2 hours) got pushed by youtube and it made me mad enough that I properly re-uploaded by Sakuraba documentary.

It's the best MMA video ever made, and obviously my masterpiece.

Check it out if you haven't seen it.

Someone pointed out somewhere that Toriyama's effort in his drawings for Characters vs machines is so drastically different that it showed what he was really passionate about

He said "yeah whatever Goten has rhe same hair as Goku LOOK AT THESE GEARS AND SPROCKETS"

Tony Khan felt my aura and said yes big dog we will have an elite women's division by hook or by crook

The Worst Thing That Ever Happened

A piece about Fedor/Lindland, a fight that mattered a lot in an era that is long dead. Its one of my most personal, though I dont think thats obvious.

My MMA work is so much more emotional than my wrestling lol

King Mo: The Man Who Would Be King

Essentially a remake of a 2019 video I made, The Nights We Were Immortal, which in and of itself is a video version of a blog post I made from 2017. This is part 4 of Phoenix, covering King Mo.

Daniel Cormier: Captain of the Team

This is part 1 of a series I fully scripted called Phoenix about the 2008 class of American wrestlers that left a Mark on MMA. This is part 1, nd is probably the best non Sakuraba piece ive written.

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (It's about wrestling)

An existential musing on what the pandemic era of wrestling taught me about the sport and about people.

Ive been writing a lot lately, and im going to start putting out real videos that arent shitposts soon

But I also found my blog that I used when I briefly retired from videos where I posted some incredible stuff I might make into videos.

ITT are some of my favorites.

Going back to my roots and handwriting a lot of my ideas to let them sink in.

These wont all be made, but when I see these, I can see the final product. I know every beat to hit, they just dont exist materially... yet.
