hmmmm
#this is me working through my thoughts so please don't take this as any kind of thesis or declaration
#but watching this week's roh taping back
#i've been thinking about the number of narratives about young talent and mentors in the wrestling i consume atm
#i love stories about mentors and proteges! i think they're great and i think wrestling is a great medium to tell those stories
#but i feel that a lot of the ones i'm seeing rn sort of impede the younger talents' ability to stand on their own
#like a lot of yuta's recent promos have been “i'm in the same faction as three cool guys you already like!”
#and i like the blackpool combat club! but that's not why i like wheeler yuta.
#i like wheeler yuta because of his tenacity and willingness to overcome and ability to get a little silly with it on an occasion
#the ties to the rest of his stable are important but i feel like only focusing on them is a detriment
#sell me on the new guy. you don't need to sell me on three legends.
#feel kind of the same way about umino rn but he's still only come back from excursion recently. there's still time to build stuff up
#i think that's why i've liked the stuff going on with narita recently?
#like his whole thing might be Being Shibata 2.0
#but his current narrative has been about contending with the weight and potential consequences of taking that mantle
#idk. it's good to have ties to other wrestlers and the history of your promotion but that can't be your whole character
#who are you in isolation? what do you value? what do you crave? what can't you let yourself have?
