wrasslin wroundup

full gears, clear eyes, can't lose (except when you do)

It's Monday, and I'm back at work, but I've finished backing up all of Marvel Move before it slips into the ether AND I've finished all of my years' worth of mandatory online service advisor training before the deadline next week, so I am going to try to get back into updating on the daily again, at least at work.

My porter is on vacation for two weeks, and I'm struggling to get sales to approve enough work for my techs, and it is stressing me the fuck out! Answer my goddamn emails!!

Thankfully, there was wrestling this weekend, and it was very good. I have fallen off my PPV feelings posting since the glorious highs of being at All Out short-circuited my brain a bit, so let's get back on that bullshit!

( AEW Full Gear 2025 )

A bit of good news to end on: my emotional support fitness app just got bought back by one of the original creators, so it's going to live! And not just in a shambling, undead form as was the best-case scenario under its crumbling corporate crypto former overlords. I think I will hit the treadmill when I get home from work to celebrate~

re: Favourite Place

Friday again? Friday again! Huh! How about that!

Movies I saw since last Friday: The Running Man (pretty good, and I will probably watch it exclusively as half of a double feature with The Long Walk going forward), Keeper (feels like what it is, sort of a half-baked side quest Perkins went on in the middle of making The Monkey, but I found it pretty scary up until the lore dump at the end), Sisu: Road to Revenge (insane pulp nonsense, so fuckin' good), and Now You See Me: Now You Don't (dumb as all hell (complimentary)). Movies, man! They're great!!

Mom's office flooded yesterday and she's very stressed out about it, which is in turn stressing me out. I also need to try to fight some outrageous duty fees I got charged for an online purchase, but it's not going well and uuuuuugh. The coming weekend already feels very, very short. Save me, wrestling.

Because it's Full Gear tomorrow! It's a very rematch-heavy card, so a bit hard to get super-hyped for on its face, but the build for most of the matches has been solid, and it should be a good show. Here are my particular prayer circle hopes for each bout:

AEW (Men's) World Title Steel Cage Match: Hangman gonna do another murder!

AEW Women's World Title Match: Kris gonna finally get her win over Mercedes, and hopefully put on a third MOTY contender in the process!

AEW World Tag Team Title Match: I will forever feel bad rooting against Brodido because they are delightful, but I NEED those belts on FTR. For Reasons.

AEW TNT Title No Disqualification Match: LET'S GO BRISCOE!!!!!!!

AEW National Title Casino Gauntlet Match: I hope this match opens the show, because I'm not invested in this poorly-named title yet, and I'm going to be hoping in total vain for a Christian return until it's over. Let me get over the disappointment quickly!!! Also casino gauntlets always rule.

Four Way Tag Team Match: I was actually hoping that both of the women's tag team title semifinal matches would be on the show instead, but at least all the wrestlers involved are still here! I hope whoever wins picks a cool stip?

$1,000,000 Trios Match: I don't need either to happen just yet, but I definitely want at least some tasty crumbs for the inevitable Young Bucks face turn and Jurassic Express heel turn.

No Holds Barred Match: LET'S GO KYLE!!!!!!!!!

And I guess I hope Darby doesn't die! The end!

18. What is Your Favorite Place in Your House?

My bedroom. My bed in my bedroom, where I can build elaborate cozy nests but also go on the computer or watch things if I want to.

re: Reactions

Have not updated all week because I've been spending all my downtime at work downloading short clips of Marvel-themed audio drama designed to play during a run before they get scrubbed from the internet, but the site seems to have cut me off for the day so here I am! TGIF!

Went to the movies on Monday. Saw Eternity, enjoyed it a lot. I'm a sucker for a good afterlife comedy!

Passed out super early on Tuesday. I've been crazy tired this week, not sure why.

Finally started the latest season of Black Mirror on Wednesday. Common People was about as bleak as I'd heard!

Got my Blood & Guts on on Thursday, all three matches completely fucked. Best B&G show so far by a country mile, though I'd have to rewatch them all to know if either of this year's are the best B&G match ever.

Today I'm going to see a magic show! Also it's winter now! We somehow still had no snow on the ground yesterday, truly unheard of weather for the middle of November, but several inches of the stuff finally came in overnight, and the forecast says it should be staying juuuuuuuuust cold enough to stick around this time. Still, it was a pretty amazing run for fall this year!

Movies for the weekend will be The Running Man and Keeper, and hoping that my mom keeps her word that she'll be willing to see Now You Three Me in the middle of next week, otherwise I'll be very annoyed that I didn't go by myself when I have the chance tomorrow!

Two and a half hours until I get the HELL OUTTA HERE. And pick up a package at the post office. And then get some supper. And then go see magic! "As seen on CTV National News, CBC, TVO, and The Golf Channel."

wow!!!
