Wrestling often falls victim to ambition. Here is an example of that very same ambition creating something that is so bizarre and so fascinating that it creates more questions than answers. This week from @segundacaida: LUNACATCH 1972 ↓

Find a writer that passionately hates something like Cora Beckett hates the callery/bradford pear tree (and honestly as someone who lives around the corner from a bunch of them: yeah, fair).
A melting pot of minerals, alkaline enzymes, a bloody saliva salty after eating eggs florentine. The Callery Pear tree smells like cum. DYING FOR LIGHT by Cora Beckett ↓

You may have noticed that I quietly closed submissions. I was just acting. I have ONE slot left open on the schedule. Send me something to cap off GONZOID's debut run.

Keita Yano does not strike me as someone who desperately wanted to be Hulk Hogan. Instead, he cuts a solitary figure, working in a room with no public audience and no ring. This week from @segundacaida, KEITA IN THE HOUSE vs. 326 - 11.30.2014 ↓

Whenever I come across Minoru Suzuki hitting a Gotch Style Pile Driver in UWF 2.0, it's hammered into my head that the cradle isn't about impact. It's about actually getting the guy up in the first place in that shoot setting. They sell its importance even before the move hits.
