ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰᴀɪɴᴛɪɴɢ ᴏɴ ꜱᴛᴀɢᴇ

Pairings: K/DA! Akali J. Tethi, Evelynn, Kai’Sa, Ahri x K/DA!Black!Fem!Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Synopsis: If you were to stumble and/or faint on stage, how would the members of K/DA react?

Warnings: some cursing, mentions of weapons (kunais in akali’s section)

A/N: Totally not writing this to justify why i think Akali could totally deadlift something twice her size and weight

ᴀʜʀɪ

In this music event, the group was performing POP/STARS, and it was the beginning of Akali and Evelynn’s joint verse that Ahri began to notice a slight change in your movements.

Make no mistake, Ahri is incredibly attentive and notices little things very fast and easily. And in your standby pose, you were suppose to be looking forward, proudly, hands on your hips in a sassy manner

Instead, thought your head was down, and your footing was off, and that wasn’t like you at all. She had a matter of seconds before her verse came, and so she tried to make eye contact with any nearby staff members that could assist you

She would alert the staff members to keep watch, and as her verse came up, she would do her thing but still try to keep you in her peripheral area. She watched as you pushed through the rest of the song with worry, and as soon as it ended and the group was directed off stage, Ahri made a beeline towards you

She can be a bit doting here, checking the temperature of your forehead, grabbing a water bottle and watching you chug it dry.

Gets you to a place where you can sit down until the rest of the event was over, checking in on you from time to time. Asks the managers to have a staff member with you just in case things go south again.

ᴇᴠᴇʟʏɴɴ

In this scenario, K/DA was called to do a special live performance of ‘The Baddest’ at an award show.

Evelynn had noticed some change in behavior in you well before arriving to the venue, yet every time she brung it up, she was met with an ‘I’m fine’. She didn't push any further, cuz if you were able to handle it, who was she to stop you?

Evelynn started having second thoughts on her leniency after the group got onto the stage. Despite you pushing beyond your limit to make it seem like you were in tip-top shape, the older woman could sense that you were not doing good at all.

It was towards the end of the song, Kai’Sa’s verse just ending, when she saw you leaning over, missing one of your steps in choreo, but it was quickly covered up by one of her lashers.

She made sure her lasher stayed close to you in the ending seconds of the song, so when the blackout occurred and you collapsed from exhaustion, it was able to catch you

Immediately is screaming for staff and a medical team to come and examine you. Her Diva persona is in full rage right here, her impatience showing very clearly on her face

Like Ahri, she begins to dote on you but instead of gentle and motherly, she’s very stern and commanding.

Practically barricades you in your room when you all get home, won’t let you do anything until the group gets the message that you’re cleared for work again

ᴋᴀɪ'ꜱᴀ

Kai’Sa will definitely feel the most guilt out of all the girls, cojnsdiering she is the one who creates the choreography, and she is aware that many of the moves are intense.

That being said, the moment she sees you start to sway, she’s already making her way over to where you are positioned.

Because she was in the back with you and the other three were positioned in front, she would be the first to notice your stumbling. When you collapsed, Kai’Sa was the first to your side, and the others soon followed.

The group’s set had to be paused, Kai’Sa helping a staff member to carry off stage.

You had come a few minutes after, and after careful consideration with the managers and staff it was decided that the 4 other girls would reshoot while you stayed in the dressing room to recover, hydrate, eat, whatever you needed to do to recover your strength.

After the show, much like Evelynn, Kai’Sa wants to make sure you’re okay. Normally the girls order out after an event, but Kai’Sa instead cooks a balanced meal to set everyone's stomachs to rest.

She watches you extra close the next few practices to watch your movements, making sure you’re taking adequate breaks in between songs and dances.

Kai’Sa may also look into different methods of dance and pacing going into the group's next comeback to avoid this situation as much a possible

ᴀᴋᴀʟɪ

At this event you and the girls were called to perform “The Baddest”, one of your most energizing and intense choreographies yet

The moment Akali sees you stumbling, she’s already by your side.

She’s kind of taken aback as this has never happened before, and fights with herself on what to do.

Then you collapse in her arms and there’s very little thinking in what she does next. At this point, the other girls notice that somethings wrong - the music stops, and there are managers and staff members approaching the stage

She surprises everyone by picking you up bridal style, the only thing on her mind is getting you into a safe area where you can recuperate. By the time you come to, the girls had finished the performance as a quartet, with Ahri and Evelynn making the official apologies to the press for the events that happened.

Akali pretty much attaches herself to you after the performance is done. She curls up next to you on the couch of the dressing room for the remainder of the show, keeping you entertained with tiktoks and silly jokes

The next few days that follow are like sleepovers in your room so that she can keep watch over you. She makes store runs for you if you want snacks and may even let you play with a kunai or two if you give her puppy dog eyes

Says she’ll use this whenever she needs a huge favor, and its become a big inside joke between the two of you now, and she always starts it off with “Hey, remember the time i deadlifted you off the stage-”

Uhhh, im actually able to enter woo!!

S/o and skelly are married by some years with maybe a kid (sorry mal) and s/o decided to pay for some photo sessions!

Like everything is all nice, the decors, extra accesories and both s/o and kid are looking fiiiine! Main ten!

Sans: you have to keep stopping him from trying to sneak on his slippers. And now the kid is Fortnite dancing again- oh no, sans has the slippers back on. Somehow you still manage to get at least one nice picture. It’s a miracle

Papyrus: these photos are totally going on the wall. You, papyrus and the kids make a very pretty family and the pictures only highlight that. He’s very proud of them and brags each time someone looks at the frame.

Star: there’s at least one picture of Star deadlifting the whole family at once because of course he needs too. There’s another picture of one of the kids doing the same. There’s no way starts kids didn’t inherit his manic energy

Honey: it’s clear he’s a little uncomfortable being so dressed up, but honey quickly forgets that when he sees you and the kids ready. Now he’s just gushing over his family. Y’all are so cute!!!

Red: uggggggg he is not having it and is clearly quite done with having to wear a collared shirt. Red is a pain for his own pictures, but is very helpful when it’s his turn getting the kids to smile.

Edge: he’s very invested in these pictures as well and takes a big part in picking the colors and theme with you. Every one looks quite promising and proper. Even the baby somehow

Mal: you, mal, and your one kid are dressed to the nines. Y’all look like people pay to take pictures of you lol. And of course being mals kid, the kiddo is a total diva and very excited for their individual pictures. They even insisted on bringing a second outfit for the shoot lol

Cash: you guys may look professional, but there’s nothing professional about these pictures. Half of them are cash and kids sneaking faces, and the other half is either you scolding them, or giving up and joining in. They still come out cute luckily

Oak: like sans, he’s trying to sneak in his slippers. Nothing bothers oak more than dress shoes. When you guys get the pictures back, you’ll find a pigeon photo bombing every single one. Oops.

Willow: due to his crazy height, he has to sit in all the pictures lol. Except for one. While you and willow were doing the couples pictures, the kids got bored and climbed a tree. The photographer insisted on willow standing by it since he’s now face to face with the kids. That picture is of course the one that ends up on the wall

The New Gang Pitch

Following my narrative arc pitch, I wanted to outline a pitch for the new central character unit around the MC to go with it, since characters can make or break a story.

The Self-Taught Vessel, Allacia Clair

One of the first characters part of this group I would imagine has a bit of a rivalry with the MC about their powers. While she’s also a Vessel (my name for the Aideen’s champion role from my narrative pitch), she didn’t have anyone like the Keepers to teach her about her powers. She has a strong grasp on the “Avatar State” power/connecting to Aideen, her other powers she can’t really control and doesn’t have a good foundation for using her other core abilities. Her arc with the MC includes them learning to work together, possibly coming to a head at some point when it seems to this character that the MC is having no trouble with learning about the “Aideen State” powers.

She should be reckless, her powers manifesting in bursts, kinda like an unbridled Lightning Circle Alex, to show she never learned basic control over her powers. She’s stubborn and resilient, with a bitter sense of respect for the MC. She should be funny in a dry humor sort of way, but heart of gold trope, all the way. Points for her being in her mid to late 20′s, so a little older than the “about to start college” MC to add to that “how can you do this thing I struggled with” arc. Extra, extra points if she’s a POC, because, you know, cannon POC badasses are great.

The Valley Girl Hacker, Brittany Bellwinter

We need a diva in the party, and there’s nothing I love more than the idea of a full blown, bubble gum popping, gag me with a spoon, Silicon Valley girl for that. None of the “I don’t get people” hacker trope. This girl gets people, but is also Elle Woods smart with computers. “You took down entire network of G.E.D. encrypted asset logs.” “What, like it’s hard?” She takes no shit for being the pretty blonde girl, and she works her ass off to pull off her chic cyberpunk style while she takes down an entire DC facility’s security system from the Stablebucks down the street.

She’s open, honest, and direct. Her self-confidence is through the roof, to the point of initial conflict. Her being a vigilante when she meets the MC is a great arc to have them working together, and also establishing people outside the Keepers having an issue with Dark Core. She’s hungry for knowledge though, and her handiness with gadgets can provide SSO with a lot of tools for having ruins being destroyed in story beats without losing the information. But also a problem as she risks her life to get those pictures.

The Heart, Kadin Fairwind

This is the one character I think whose gender is most important to be kept the same. Kadin needs to be masc-presenting, either as an enby person who uses he/him pronouns, or just simply as a male presenting person. This is first and foremost because of the message Kadin can send. If SSO wants to be a story about gender equality, then it needs to also talk about how men relate to “feminine” topics, in particular, being the heart of the group. The Heart of the 5 man band is exclusively reserved for a female in the party, which is why it’s important to have a character like Kadin, who is masc-presenting, be the heart, to subvert that and show other masc-presenting players that you can be masculine and also be an empathetic person that tries to keep your friends together.

Kadin is a big sweetie, possibly physically, who just has a soft-spot for people. But when I say he’s big, I don’t mean Kadin is this doofy gentle giant or some himbo. No, he’s physically built, like a quarterback built, but he’s also very intelligent. Kadin needs to be outwardly very masculine, with an awareness of his strength and how it impacts people around him. He’s smart and observant and is really good on picking up on people’s emotions. He wants to help people, with a passion for being either a counselor or a nurse (specifically a nurse, not a doctor). Possibly with friends who were assholes when they were in school who bullied people, until Kadin decided he didn’t want to do that and wanted to be better aware of how he hurt people and how to make things better.

As much as I’m an advocate for queer & POC rep, I think the best way to do Kadin is just have him as this straight, white guy. I think him just being a hetero-cis dude and becoming aware of his privilege can be such an impactful message, even if the why isn’t ever explicitly said.

The Magic Enthusiast, Nakai “Xen” Seiko

If Kadin is cis, then Xen is one hundred percent they/them non-binary. But also, if Brittany is the tech wiz, then Xen simply wants to be an actual wizard. And not just wishes magic was real kinda wants to be a wizard, legit knows magic is real and can’t figure it out/can’t use it wants to be a wizard. Xen consumes all things magic, which makes them an amazing outside asset to the MC and Allacia, who both can use magic, but don’t always understand magic. Xen gets magic fundamentally as a study, but not always as a practice, which is why they struggle to actually use it. And while I do think they should learn how to use magic, they should by the kind of character who wants to multi-class wizard over and over so they can get every school of magic, not so they can actually get better. It’s Xen’s craving for understanding magic that will be a great tool in learning more about other planes of reality and how they relate to magic.

Xen’s personality is fundamentally at odds. While they come from a very traditional Japanese immigrant family and have a high respect for their culture, they obviously struggle with who they are and how that fits into what they want to do with their life. This is import in particular to me because so many cultures gender magic, with feminine and masculine sources of magic. Xen as a non-binary magic user, like myself, has to struggle with figuring out where those legends come from and breaking down how to feel about that in their own practice, particularly when Aideen is shown has being a very feminine entity. Much like the points before, I don’t think this has to be explicit, but I do think it can be very clearly coded to say that gendering things is often forced. While there are gendered things in nature, like things surrounding baby-making, most things aren’t and just because something is gendered, like Aideen, it doesn’t designate that all things need to be. I think the best way to balance this message is to have Xen has a very comedic person, always telling jokes, even when the timing isn’t always right. They should have an issue with hyperfixating, and I think having them being someone with ADD/ADHD is a great match for their other struggles, getting consumed in their pursuit of magic to the point of it being a hazard too.

The Gentle Giant, Bogga Norsdóttir

If anyone is going to be the brute of this party, it’s going to be Bogga. Bogga is a “I’m going to deadlift a Shire” kinda girl, but she won’t, cause it’s a horse, and why would she scare a horse like that? She’s honestly the simplest concept I have. She’s a gentle giant, though I don’t think she should be “stupid.” I think she should have a simple code of ethics, a very black and white version of right and wrong. It’s simple, you hurt her friends, she fucks you up. I would love too if she’s part Kalter. But yeah, Bogga is kinda the constant rock of the party, and that’s not just cause she’s a solid unit. She’s just reliable, and for that she’s kinda a sounding board for everyone else’s more complicated arcs. The point is that Bogga will always be there to support the party, and she doesn’t really need to grow. She’s got her life figured out, and so she’s just there to help everyone else figure out theirs.

The Returning Soul Rider

If there’s any of these members I’m ok with dropping, it’s this one. Not just cause I can’t decide which one, but also the whole point of the above group is establishing a friend group that the MC chooses through the story and actively recruits, not an existing friend group like the Soul Riders are. Even with the new intro to the Soul Riders they added, there’s never going to be a point where the MC isn’t a fifth wheel to their group, at least for me and I know for a lot of you, particularly as SSL gets more and more removed. The only reason they could even effectively establish their friend group before was because only two of them were friends when Lisa got to Jorvik, and it was Lisa that brought the four of them together. And honestly, I think staying on their story makes if feel more and more to me like we’re cleaning up their mess and undermines the Soul Riders defeating Garnok in SSL. Which ruins their abilities, and it’s just yet another reason we need to move away from them narratively.

Still, that doesn’t mean I think the Soul Riders need to be cut out entirely, but I think we need to relook at the angle that the MC is relating to the Soul Riders. And that means the Soul Riders relooking at themselves, particularly post Garnok, which is also why I think this arc needs to end.

In any case, I’m tied between Alex and Anne. On the one hand, Alex is a fighter and suddenly having no big bad to fight is a hell of a good arc to pitch. I also think her in contrast to Bogga is a great square off. Alex not being ready to be done fighting is a good arc, because she’s always been a fighter. What is she without something to go after now? I think her being afraid of falling back into her old ways now that she doesn’t have a target to hunt down is such an interesting arc to follow.

Anne is another interesting one, because I think with everyone expecting Anne to be consumed with vengeance before Garnok is defeated and her to come out of that, people would expect that after he’s gone, she would be ready to be done and just go back to being a normal girl. But I think that even if Anne gets over her vengeance, she’s the Soul Rider of the Sun Circle. Her powers are to open portals, she’s destined to travel. Anne isn’t going to want to go back. Whether it’s being a dressage master or traveling between planes of reality, Anne is the portal master of the druids. Worse, she was an imprisoned portal master. She’s shouldn’t want to be still ever again.

I’m honestly up in the air on them, and I’m not opposed to both, but I think it should just be one in the main group and another with a side arc we touch in on when we touch base with the other Soul Riders.

And yeah, that’s the pitch.

Show Review: Monday Night Raw 15/10/18

MNR Review

Hello! Welcome to my first ever wrestling show review. A few administrative points before we get onto the actual show;

Firstly, this is my first time doing anything like this, so any kind of feedback or constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Secondly, this review is probably going to be quite lengthy due to Raw being 3 hours and there being a lot to discuss/mostly complain about. Lastly, this review is aimed at those who watch the product most weeks, so it is written assuming the reader knows the basic details of the show (commentators, ongoing storylines etc.), and I don’t plan to go through matches spot for spot unless something catches my eye particularly. Alright, lets get into the show!

We kick off with Michael Cole welcoming us to Philadelphia, PA. The crowd is fired up which seems to be the norm for Philly in my experience, having been at the 2014 Royal Rumble, famous for Roman Reigns being boo’d out of the building. Braun, Dolph and Drew make their entrance together. Seeing someone like Dolph mimic Braun’s mannerisms is always funny to me. Before they start their promo the phrases ‘best in the world’ and ‘world cup’ have been mentioned at least 3 times and I feel this is going to be an ongoing complaint of mine. They cut a pretty standard promo about being the greatest 3 man group in history after beating The Shield last week and we get a replay of McIntyre kicking Ambrose’s head off. I’m starting to not care for The Shield as much but the story with Dean potentially turning and the good in-ring work is just about keeping me interested. Braun talks about his match at Crown Jewel but much like Cole earlier doesn’t mention the location due to the obvious controversy. Drew and Dolph both mention ‘best in the world’ yet again and we get a bit of dissention as they talk about facing off in the finals of the world cup. Seth and Roman finally appear on the stage, Seth drops a cheesesteak reference and after saying nothing of relevance declares he’ll face Drew in a qualifying match for the world cup right now.

After adverts Drew/Seth kicks off which I’m very excited for since I like both guys a lot. They start with a nice wrestling sequence where Drew displays his obvious power advantage over Seth. Cole drops the ‘best in the world’ line once again and I die a bit inside. Drew gets Seth up for a powerbomb with a deadlift but gets countered. This spot was crazy smooth and I’m loving the ‘new’ McIntyre. Seth goes for the standard suicide dive but gets caught in a belly to belly on the outside. Again I wasn’t planning to go spot for spot but this match has started really hot. Dolph runs down to cause the distraction and Seth gets tossed into the bars beneath the ring, another great spot. After some back and forth including a great falcon arrow counter, Seth takes out both Drew and Dolph with a suicide dive each and Dean runs out to counter Ziggler’s interference. All 4 men fight outside and Drew gets curb stomped leading to a count-out victory for Seth. Great TV match between 2 guys who can certainly go, finish was a bit flat for me but I encourage you to watch this.

After a break we get a backstage promo from The Shield where Seth slips and calls Ambrose a lunatic. Ambrose talks about only being good for laughs despite always backing up Seth/Roman and it makes me long for the Ambrose turn.

We see a replay of DX’s promo from last week followed by a spooky Brothers of Destruction promo. I’m sort of excited for this match but I can’t take Kane seriously with this gear and DX doesn’t really work as a concept when both members are old corporate suits. This promo was completely standard boring nostalgia bait, but I understand some people like that.

Ember Moon is out next and yells down the camera like a mong ruining her entrance. Nia Jax appears and is apparently Ember’s tag partner. Back from ads and Tamina and Dana Brooke are in the ring. Cole mentions how this is Tamina’s return from injury and she doesn’t even get an entrance. Commentary shill a battle royale for the Evolution PPV featuring some of the best women in the company which I feel is slightly ridiculous. People like Asuka and Ember are far better than a battle royale, even Carmella has been improving leaps and bounds and should be featured more. This match is standard tag fare, when Nia and Tamina are in the ring together it really drags. Dana gets tagged in and eats the Eclipse for 3, thank god. After the match the women do that stupid spot where they throw people over the ropes before a battle royale just to show it’s possible. I’ve very quickly come down from the high of the first match.

We get a little video package of The Bellas turning on Ronda last week. Ronda makes her entrance smiling ear to ear which I dislike in such a personal feud as this. Once she grabs a mic she stops smiling for a second until the crowd chants for her and she cracks again. Ronda stumbles through her promo and The Bellas appear on the stage. They cut a promo about disrespect which is the second one of the show. According to The Bellas they made the word ‘diva’ mean something. Ronda sort of interrupts but literally just asks if they have anything else to say. She then talks about ‘sister soldiers’ and then rags on the Bellas for leeching off the names of their men which is the best line of the promo. ‘The only door you ever knocked down was the one to John Cena’s bedroom’, brutal. That causes Nikki Bella to spring into action by ripping off her shirt and twirling her arse for some reason. A security team come out and all die by Ronda’s hands. That was arduous. I think Ronda is great in the ring for how little she’s wrestled but my god are her promos awful.

They show a replay of big gold condom Kurt Angle winning the battle royale from last week which flows into a backstage promo with Kurt Angle in vacation gear. I refuse to believe that man doesn’t take his singlets on holiday. Acting GM Baron Corbin makes a match with Angle against The Authors of Pain later tonight.

Finally we get another match after suffering through that Bella promo. Luckily for me it’s Ambrose/Ziggler and I suddenly become interested in the show again. Dolph makes his entrance and for some reason he’s wearing a hoodie instead of his cool silver jacket from earlier. Michael Cole once again drops that bloody ‘best in the world’ line and at this point I’m looking for something to hang myself from. Ambrose snapmares Dolph and smacks him with a few crossfaces. I love Ambrose’s new style since his return matching his increased bulk. We get some standard TV match back and forth until Dean goes to the top rope and gets countered into an X-Factor. Dean lands kinda awkwardly on his feet first but the move looks fine and he doesn’t seem to be injured. Weirdly it’s at this point that the crowd die, I’m surprised they held on this long. Ambrose hits Dolph with the Hook and Ladder, a move from his indy wrestling days which he seems to be bringing back, and it looks really good. Drew runs out for some interference similarly to earlier and Rollins follows. Seth ends up distracting Dean and Dolph gets the superkick for the 3 count. This was a good TV match but I’m slightly bias since I love both guys. Ziggler winning was likely the right decision since most of the world cup field thus far was face.

Post-match Dean walks away but Seth gives chase almost leading to a brawl until Roman separates them. Corbin comes out and makes The Shield versus Braun, Dolph and Drew for the main event, for the 3rd show in a row. Roman stares daggers through Corbin. I’d like these two in a real feud at some point, maybe not for the belt though.

Mixed Match Challenge competitors Finn Balor and Bayley enter together. Finn is far better than this and I wish they’d do something with him. Backstage we get a little promo with Braun and his squad, basically the same thing as last week with Braun warning them not to screw up. Jinder and his crew are here wrestling Finn yet again. Bayley attempts to get a slow clap going to no reaction at all. Finn mercifully wins a completely nothing match with the Coup De Grace, please never let these two wrestle again. Randomly Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush make their way down to the ring. Lashley does some poses in the corner and Lio Rush spouts some weird lines about nobody smelling like Lashley. Finn literally just leaves without any trouble. Silly me for thinking they’d actually give Finn a decent storyline.

We come back from the break to Tyler Breeze getting ready to be sacrificed to the giant baby god Lashley. After even more poses from Bobby Breeze actually gets a shot in which surprised me. Lashley hits a Yokosuka cutter which looks really good, weird that he’s randomly switched from the Dominator he used to do to this but I like it.

Trish and Lita are out next for even more nostalgia. It’s lost on me since I didn’t watch in the Attitude Era but it’s nice for the live crowd if nothing else. Lita says one sentence then Alexa Bliss and Mickie James make their way out. James is dressed like Bliss and it looks like granny is trying way too hard. Alexa is a great promo and it’s no different here but Mickie is just very cringey. Trish and Lita try and appeal to a younger market and say the word ‘practice’ about 50 times. Nothing happens as per usual.

Some random is wearing Kurt’s big gold condom and wrestling the Authors of Pain. After this guy dies Kurt appears behind Corbin on the stage and barely gets him up for the Angle slam. Their match will probably be fine, but that’s more because I still enjoy Kurt Angle.

Riott Squad randomly pour condiments over Natalya’s dressing room door and Liv Morgan makes a noise like a dog being kicked. What was the point of this.

Riott Squad are out after another break. Natalya comes out next holding a microphone and I’m scared. Natalya is completely fine in the ring but should be nowhere near a mic. She cuts a bad promo and brings out Bayley and Sasha Banks as back up. Cole screams ‘IT’S BOSS TIME’ and suddenly I don’t hate the ‘best in the world’ stuff anymore. I’m a big fan of the Riott Squad especially Ruby but I couldn’t begin to care about Natalya or this match. Nattie gets Ruby in the Sharpshooter and all the women brawl with the faces standing tall. I’m conscious that this review may paint me as disliking women’s wrestling as a whole but it’s more than most of the women’s segments on this show have been questionable at best.

Here’s Elias next, he cuts a promo about the future and John Cena and rags on Philly and what I assume is a sporting mascot of some kind. I love Elias but he’s starting to wear a bit thin for me. I feel like they either need to do something of note with him or not, stop letting him stagnate. Apollo Crews of all people interrupts. He cuts a promo about how he can’t sing and he isn’t that funny and he’s not wrong. Crews is sick of people passing him by, and while I don’t rate him that highly, I’m all for new people getting a chance. Apollo hits an impressive military press causing Elias to flee. Pretty standard stuff here but at least it’s someone new.

Finally we’re at the main event. Braun, Drew and Dolph make their entrance together same as earlier and Dolph is back to the sick jacket rather than the hoodie. The Shield come out through the crowd and must fight through a sea of twats. Dean and Seth start off doing tag moves like nothing happened until Ziggler pushes Rollins into Dean and the tension starts again. Reigns manages to get a chant for himself while Ziggler is getting heat on him. Philly is not where I imagined Roman would actually get a positive chant. Braun and Drew tag themselves in a couple times and argue giving Reigns time to recover and hit a samoan drop on Braun. After a bit more standard action Roman finally makes a tag and Seth and Dean run wild taking out all 3 opponents. Ambrose hits Dirty Deeds on Drew but Dolph breaks up the pin with Seth’s body. Seth and Dean get into a bit of a brawl as Dolph hits the Zig Zag for a close 2 count. Roman dodges a claymore kick from Drew and sends him flying into Braun. Dolph eats the triple powerbomb for the 3 count and The Shield embrace and leave. After the match Braun yells at Ziggler for screwing up and not carrying his weight and murders him with a powerslam. Drew nails Braun with a claymore kick and stands tall. I think from an in ring standpoint this match was the weakest of the 3 these teams have had but story-wise it was great. I didn’t want to get this deep into all the spots of the match but there was so much story ground to cover I couldn’t really help it.

Overall this show was a bit of a drag to get through but that’s not shocking from a 3 hour show. Whilst there were many highlights like the Shield storyline and matches, the women’s segments were poorly planned and executed and made the show feel far longer than it was. If I had the choice I’d give this show a miss, definitely not a must-watch Raw.

Just Starting Out? Here’s some advice on choosing the correct starting weight

A common pattern generally occurs here. In my experience, women tend to underestimate their own strength whilst guys will let their egos take over and opt for something too heavy!

I was exactly the same when I started out. I was a well conditioned weight trained individual. But I wasn’t conditioned for the way in which kettlebells train the body! Surely, I thought, if I can happily shoulder press 28kg dumbbells, I could happily manage a 24kg kettlebell? Turned out that was a resounding no!

So, lets break this down. For the females amongst you, go with the following as a starting point

Women

Non weight trained.

In this category, even if you’re an aerobic diva, start with a 10kg or 12 kg bell for 2 handed swings and an 8kg for most other things. 10 really is a minimum for swings as you will need that much just to give yourself the necessary feedback to indicate correct form.

Weight trained

I’m going to state 12-16 here for 2 handed swings and let you decide what feels right. Caveat being that you aim to move to 16 just as soon as you can. 8-12 kg for everything else. That’s quite a range but I have to make allowances for the different strength levels amongst you.

Men

Non weight trained

12-16 kg for swings with a move to the 16 as soon as possible. Most likely a 12 kg for everything else.

Weight trained

16-20kg for swings. For everything else a 12 to a 16kg.

This is just a guide of course. You may also be able to use the heavier weight for squats, deadlifts and other kettlebell exercises. But you need to be prepared to invest a little here. You will outgrow these bells pretty quickly if you train consistently.

There are other variables that you can employ to make the lighter weight feel more intense again but, ultimately as you gain strength and experience, you will need heavier bells.

In conclusion

Be sensible. Recognise your abilities and choose your bells accordingly. Don’t be afraid to weight up the swings a little so you can ‘feel’ the weight and the feedback if gives you. Use the lighter bells initially for anything that puts the bell up overhead.

You’ve got your bells, now what?

There are a number of ways you can learn the art of Kettlebell lifting. Some are more fraught with danger than others. YouTube can be awesome. But equally it can be a curse. Exactly how do you validate the expertise of the individual giving the tuition? Want to learn Swings? There’s Russian swings, American Swings, sport style swings, hard style, soft style. These are all terms you will come across. Are you looking just for fitness or maybe your grand plan includes competitive lifting?

The path you choose will determine what style of lifting tuition you should be looking for. If your end game is Kettlebell sport then seek out a reputable Kettlebell sport coach. If general fitness is your aim, then I would strongly recommend some 1-1 training initially. This could be with a Personal Trainer with the relevant experience or you could attend a kettlebell instructors workshop. These are aimed at teaching people how to teach Kettlebells to others but it’s also an ideal way to learn the basics yourself even if you have no intention of teaching. You really can’t beat some 1-1 feedback though for those initial steps into Kettlebell lifting.

There are also other forms of Kettlebell training such as Kettlercise. This is quite a different thing to the general Kettlebell strength and conditioning that I am advocating. It’s a ‘thing’ but not for me and probably not for you if you are reading this.

In conclusion.

Use YouTube but be cautious. Find a kettlebell sport coach if you want to compete or if fitness is your main aim, go for some 1-1’s or attend a workshop.

Amanda Latona's Tips for a Bubble Butt

Per Bernal

If you've ever met Amanda Latona Kuclo, best known as the Booty Queen, you’ve realized one thing right away: This girl has fun with life. On set, Kuclo is singing to the music, laughing, and staying relaxed. Joy motivates her to work harder.

“I’ve always been a hard worker," she says. "I’m not a diva in any way. I picture the outcome and think, ‘Let’s get the shot and have fun with it.’ Because to me, it is a lot of fun. You work hard, you train hard, and having fun on set will come through in the images. I shot my first cover in 2010 for Muscle & Fitness Hers, and since then the magazine has been nothing but supportive.”

[RELATED1]

Hit a high note

You could easily say that Kuclo has always been a natural in the spotlight. Her first most notable obsession that put her onstage was singing. At age 18, she was in a girl band called “Innosense” alongside Britney Spears (just before Spears reached stardom).

Kuclo’s musical career didn’t end up being her bread and butter, but doing her best for an audience has been an enduring ethic. She fell in love with fitness when she was still singing, and it was only a matter of time before she stepped onstage as a competitor. After years of dedicating herself to the weight room, Kuclo (then Latona) earned her IFBB pro card in 2009. For more than a decade, she clinched more than 25 first-place fitness and bikini competition finishes—10 of those IFBB championships. Since then, she keeps expanding her fit-fluence—inspiring others who want to follow a fit, healthy lifestyle—and she became a Team AllMax-sponsored athlete.

Amanda’s bubble booty workout basics

Ask which is her favorite butt exercise, and she’ll say all of them, but here is her exact plan for how she strategizes her glute training. Your booty can be made tighter and rounder with her five key tips.

1. Train with variation

“It’s super-important to incorporate a variety of angles into your training program and to do different reps and vary your weights and machines.” If you’ve found yourself on one surface or tool too long (say, four sessions or more), it’s time to switch it up. Same thing with your rep schemes. Start incorporating rep variety like rest-pause, dropsets, etc.

And go heavy. “I’m a big believer in heavy lifting. But incorporating lighter reps, bodyweight movements, and plyometrics is also key when you’re training.” Her most important weight tip: “Use tools and do moves that isolate the glutes so you can go heavier on them. Exercises like the barbell hip thrust, banded hip thrust, and glute kickbacks are great examples of isolation moves I love.” Of course, classic compound moves have a firm place in her regimen as well, but they also require variety. “If you just do a squat, a leg press, a stepup, and a lunge, your plane of motion has been only up and down—not side to side or diagonal. You have to hit your abductors with moves like walking lunges, reverse lunges, and curtsies to hit different parts of your glutes and get that roundness. And do a good active warmup using bands or unweighted squats. If you do moves like squats with weights that are so heavy that you essentially can’t feel what you’re working, you may miss your glutes altogether.”

2. Avoid massive quads while booty training

“A lot of times women will ask, ‘How do you build your glutes without getting your quads bigger?’ For a lot of women, their legs will just blow up doing common glute exercises.” Kuclo says it’s mostly trial and error—you can’t write off one tool until you’ve figured out what works best for you.

“For cardio, if I go on the stairs, I notice that my quads pop [and not in a good way] just like that. But if I do an incline treadmill, I’m still hitting the glutes without putting a lot of weight on my quads.” To avoid big quads, skip cardio with added resistance, such as spinning or climbing stairs with weights. Foot placement is also key, she adds. “You can change where a move hits your glutes just on your stance. Feel around for what works best for you.”

3. Don’t overtrain your glutes

“I have a T-shirt that says, ‘I only train glutes on days ending in Y.’ But that’s not actually the case!” she jokes. “If you’re giving everything to that workout, then two days is sufficient. There is such a thing as overtraining. You need time to grow. Outside the gym, the gains come with proper nutrition and rest. More is not always better.”

4. Follow her booty body-part split

“My body-part split is four days a week weights. Upper body, back, abs, lower body, and then a rest day or a cardio-only day. And then I would do another lower body and a shoulders/arms/abs day. “This year, I’ve split up my glute days to do a glute day and a ham/glute day, and I’ve noticed a big difference in my hamstrings. For ham/glute day, I’ll do moves like stability ball curls and stiff-legged deadlifts. My glute day is more arms/abs day. I keep it varied and always have a written plan before going into the gym.”

5. Switch up your sets and reps

“There’s not a golden number of sets or reps—you have to mix it up. I personally like to do four sets, but I’ve also done 10 sets of hip thrusts, five heavy and five lighter. My base is built on a 10- to 12-rep range. I like higher reps mainly with plyos and bodyweight, but with weight I’ll get into higher reps by using dropsets and rest-pause. If I’m doing stiff-legged deadlifts, for example, I’ll rack several smaller plates so it’s easier to drop down.”

[RELATED3]

Booty Queen

“I’ve always wanted to make women’s leggings because I love them myself. I don’t even wear jeans anymore!” Being CEO of her own business is different from anything else she’s ever accomplished. “With apparel, you’re always doing 15 things at once, and there are a lot of things out of your control. Manufacturers, deadlines, things that you order that don’t come in right or have the wrong colors or sizing. And then there’s customer service—you want to make people happy!”

Her secret savior: Her husband: “The good thing about it is that I’m with my husband [IFBB pro bodybuilder Steve Kuclo], and we do this together. We both have the same vision for this and the Kuclo Classic Bodybuilding and Fitness show that we run. If we have a challenge, I’ve learned to change my mindset. Instead of being negative, I say to myself, ‘OK, we’re going to get through this. How do we learn from this and keep it from happening again?’ For example, we frequently run out of our leggings, which is amazing because it means women love them, but we need to learn how to turn that into a positive.

“The Booty Queen apparel line and lifestyle website is taking the experience of my life and putting it into a brand that motivates women to love themselves and embrace their curves.” Everyone can get fit, she says, “you just have to make it work for your lifestyle.” Her goal is for women to make small changes—like watching their blood sugar, eating whole foods, and training in order to be healthier. “Weight training will help your body come into its natural shape so you can enjoy your life more, look better, and feel better while you’re doing it.”
