A Slept-On Review: WWE Smackdown 9/16/22

Logan Paul and The Bloodline Promo / Ricochet vs Sami Zayn

We are starting off POORLY! The short and only important information from the first few minutes of Logan talking: He wants to fight Roman and actually had a good rebuttal to the what chant. He's not the worst at this, but I hate it. I know too much and I hate him. I cannot like subjectively anything that he does or anything that he is involved with.

Praise the sun! Paul is back! He’s here to save this segment because he truly is the only one who could. If Paul Heyman wasn't here I probably would have walked away at this point. He tries to convince Logan to walk away from the situation, but he won’t. Ricochet comes out to help even the odds. This poor man has been forced to team up with Logan Paul. I am in physical pain.

We return from commercial and Richochet is up against Sami Zayn. I don't know why we are here. I don't want to be here. The in-ring wrestling itself it's not bad. I almost feel like I'm watching a game of 2K right now: simple, average, nothing out of the ordinary happens. Paul knocked over a soda and then proceeded to pour the rest of it all over the commentary table which was very funny.

Maximum Male Models Segment

It's MMM time! They reveal their “back to school” collection, and are adorable.

The Braun’s music hits.

The absolute piss your pants fear on these men’s faces when said music hit made the whole thing absolutely perfect. Braun stampeded in and knocks them around for a few minutes. We probably would have been a wonderful, funny, and straightforward segment, but for reasons I do not understand, Alpha Academy interjects. They are putting too many people into what should just be Braun showing up, smashing, and leaving.

Bayley vs Raquel Rodriquez

Jojo Siwa is here and she is the CUTEST. I love her. I hope she had a good time.

Enter Damage Ctrl. They are proud of themselves and they should be. I love them they're so evil.

I still can't decide if the spinning slam itself was better than the noise Bailey made while in it. We get an incredible flying elbow, but I'm 99% sure that should have constituted a DQ, which makes this whole match really freaky when you consider the amount of out-of-ring action there has been that has previously been. It makes the strategic nature of distracting the referee feel…pointless and less impressive.

Shotzi also gets a run-in post-match, adding to the lots of last-minute additions tonight and I don't like it

Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan Interview

Liv stands up for herself in the hardest way I've ever seen her do so. She’s all grown up, she’s strong, and she has the numbers against Ronda. This makes me love her even more. Now, during this segment, it’s established we're getting Extreme Rules match against Rhonda. Now that I've said that, I'm really worried that Ronda is going to win, since she can hit very hard even with rules keeping it in place, and if that happens I will be very sad.

After this match, Drew McIntyre straight up just climbs on top of the announce table to challenge Karrion Kross. He’s angry and sweaty and I’m exhilarated.

Solo Sikoa vs Madcap Moss

It’s a little weird that we're challenging for an NXT Championship right now two people in this make me feel like it's fine. I want to see this match it even if it doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, it quickly falls into its death spot, because I know so little about Solo. I don't know much go to NXT either, so quickly I had very little reason to care outside of the fact that he is a member of the bloodline and I like madcap. Which isn't to say that the wrestling was particularly bad, I was just uninterested and I found it hard to focus on

Sammy is an absolute bro, the whole time and deserves a shoutout for that though.

Brawling Brutes vs New Day vs Imperium vs Hit Row

Yeah, there's officially too much going on in this episode. I was dealing with food poisoning while watching, which may not be helping the situation. That being said, I cannot follow anything that is happening at this point when there are this many people all doing things in the same ring at the same time repeatedly over the course of this episode.

In some ways, I'm glad that some of these people that we're going to put on the back burner for so long are finally getting screen time, but there is such thing as too much and I think that this week cross that borders at least a little bit.

Good news: everyone in this match is just nuts and it was very entertaining. Top Dolla being able to carry all those people genuinely scares me/ I do not trust when multiple people get lifted up anymore. Thank you, Wrestlemania and Rick Boogs for that one.

Rich Holland doubled down on that and lifts Top Dolla.

The ending couple of minutes were especially wild, with high spot after high spot until Brawling Brutes are able to snag the win, which I did appreciate.

can u do a dom x fem!reader and basically shes an interviewer at wwe and dating dom and decided to try the pheromone perfume thing on him and it drives him wild and then smut 🤭

Perfume is Powerful

I'm clawing at the walls writing this.... and were pretending baby boy is in his Champion era.

You and Dominik have been dating for close to a year but no one knows. There have been rumors, but of course, there was no concrete evidence, you guys were careful. You hate to be a woman who is displeased by her boyfriend... the sex is great every time without fail. But part of you longs for something more feverish, quick, risky. Anytime yall fuck it's passionate and in bed, you want that movie type of sex. The kind that makes you throw your head back and have your mouth muffled by his big hands while he plows into you. Truly when Dominik steps into work he is instantly into character, but regardless his character is still in love with you....

You are dressed up in a business casual type outfit, a skirt that was a bit shorter than normal, that the cameras couldn't see. But your shirt was skimpy, covered by a coat that would conceal you during the interview. What brought the whole thing was the new perfume you bought, all the reviews say it makes their boyfriends go crazy, so you had to try it out. You roll the perfume onto the sides of your neck, your wrists, and just a bit on the insides of your thighs...just in case.

Dominik has yet to come to the interview but all the cameras were set up when it goes live. Dominik couldn't be around you before the interview otherwise his character wouldn't be as pronounced, and it would be too obvious. He walks in with that usual swagger his face etched with a frown, that mean look always gave you goosebumps in the best way. You couldn't help but smile and Dominik was holding back, his lip just barely quirked up at the sight of you before he suppressed it. The directors told you both it was time. You and Dominik stood nearly shoulder to shoulder facing the camera. "3...2...1...were live!" the director yelled.

You smile directly at the camera to start your introduction, "I'm joined by NXT champion Dominik Mysterio, who got a front row seat to his opponents match for tonight, that his father set up. How are you feeling going in?", you turn to ask him and immediately you are struck. Dominik looks bent out of shape all of the sudden, his jaw is tight as if it was wired shut and his fist is clenched to his side. He shakes his head and coughs trying to play it off, "Well, my back hurts from carrying this company on my back for past almost two years now. I already beat Dragon Lee twice with my dad in his corner". Dominik speaks to the camera but its clear to you that his mind is elsewhere, his hand is twitching at its side now...towards you.

You smile at his cocky response moving on to one more question with your own twist, "Standing here with Mr. 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio has been a great pleasure, we have one more question for you.".

Dominik swallows and you noticed he has started to sweat, pulling at his shirt to get some air. "Yea".

Your directors nodded at you, they knew of this news, but Dominik is just now finding out on live television. "What is your advice for a new wrestler such as myself?", the roars of the crowd were booming loud enough for the cameras to pick up on. Dominik's eyes went comedically wide and he nearly dropped his belt right off his shoulder. He breathes shallowly, he gathers his bearing just enough to say, "You don't need any advice". This means Dominik had complete confidence in your abilities. You turn your attention back to the camera and you smile. The crew instantly packed up their things and rushed out of the room in a matter of 30 seconds, on their way to other segments.

The door clicks shut and you hear Dominik's belt smack on the ground. He unbuckles his belt, ripping it off of his body and he rushes towards you. His large hands grasp and squeeze your waist, his nose nustling into your neck, and then you hear a loud muffled moan. His mouth is open sucking on your neck while he takes deep breaths, inhaling the natural smell the perfume brought out. Your fingers run through his hair, and you giggle at his reaction, "You okay baby?".

Dominik thrusts your body against him, with no space left for yourself. "You smell good", he says in an uncharacteristic deep voice, your eyes light up. You kiss his cheek, "Don't I always?".

"This is different, mierda mami. You're driving me crazy", in a second you feel his teeth scrape across your collar bone. His hands work at the buttons of your skirt pulling it down till it falls to the floor. He tosses his shirt of quickly and sinks to his knees to connect his lips to the soft of your legs. You spread your legs just enough for Dominik to get between them and the moment he does the groans at the same smell, his hand falling from your leg to his cock. He lays his forehead on one of your legs and his eyes are squeezed shut, you rub his head trying to see what's going on. "Dominik? What's wrong?", your voice is overflowing with concern, you didn't think he'd react this strongly. "I think I'm gonna cum", he sputters out, his fingers leaving red marks on your thighs. You can't control the gasp that flies out of your mouth, you knew that was going to be burned into your mind for a year... maybe two.

You sink to your knees in front of him, your hands cradling his face now... not that it helped considering you put it on your wrists as well. "Do you need a minute?", you ask so sweetly. He answers with a deep inhale, nearly tilting his head back at the pleasure you bring to him just by your natural pheromones. God the way he was acting you didn't need any prep, he could slide right in. "I need it now hermosa, tell me you can take it, tell me mami", he looks up at you with wide, glossy, dilated eyes that take your breath away. "I can take it", you whisper to him trying to diffuse some of the tension he is feeling.

His face splits into a major grin and he pushes your thighs apart so he can get in between them. In that moment he gets close to you, only to push you back by the chest, a hand behind your head when it hits the floor. You lay on your back, your feet flat on the floor and your legs spread. Dominik pulled off your coat but simply unbuckled your bra from under the shirt, tossing it off to the side. His patience was wearing thin, he pulled your shirt just above your boobs and his hands instantly go to touch them. His mouth follows and the closer he gets to the smell of you he can feel himself lose control over again. Another groan of pleasure and a bit of pain from denial brings him back to his twitching cock. "I can't be easy, I have to fuck you-tell me-", you sit up on your elbows for just a moment to look at him. "Fuck me", you say with absolute certainty.

He follows your instruction, pulling out his cock quickly and pushing into you with one fluid motion, the girth stretching you in the most pleasurable way. Your mouth falls open with a moan/whimper. "I know mami, it's going to feel so good in just a second", he says like a promise, though he was feeling as if he was going to cum on the spot. You tug at his hair, your wrist right by his face, the smell driving him to a frenzy, he thrusts into you at a relentless pace. The sounds of his hips smacking against your ass was loud enough to echo, your moans come out loud and high-pitched... too loud. Dominik think the sounds from your mouth are the hottest thing he's ever heard but you both cant risk getting caught. His hand clasps over your mouth, his hair dangling in front of him, his hips working rhythmically, his body looking like a Greek god. He slows down and goes deep inside of you, groaning as you moan, "I'll give you some advice if you want to walk- don't wear this shit. My cock was hard the moment I got close to you", he rasped into your ear.

The sensation felt so good, his deep thrusts hitting the spot inside of you that only he could reach. Every roll and rock of his hips made your walls clench around him and you felt it coming before you even realized it. Your head just barely tilted back and your back arched, Dominik knew what was coming just by that. He pressed you back down harshly, pressing down on your stomach just to the point you could feel that pressure. "Cum. You know you go first", he grits out feeling himself getting close too. As you cum your pussy convulsed around Dominik's cock and the pleasure was astronomical for him. The wet slick and almost painful tightness brought him over the edge moments after you. He cums with a groan, his face falling into the side of your neck.

He inhales and pulls back with a groan, his face made as he glares at you. "You still smell so fucking good. I just came mami-", now he sounds like he's whining at the effect you have on him.

it's unfortunate that scholarship about Darija literacy is thin enough on the ground that reading a PhD dissertation (as a result of another text that cited this dissertation) is a perfectly reasonable thing to do (like, as opposed to only consulting published works)—

because I can tell that this was sort of written to fulfill the qualifications for the degree, rather than to really contribute to the field as a whole. in one chapter, for example, Hall gives a literature review of the extant scholarship on code switching, text messaging, and especially text messaging in North Africa, and then gives an overview of a few things she noticed in the corpus of Latin alphabet text messages that her connexions gave her access to—

and then ends the chapter. she doesn't theorise her observations, or explain at length what implications they might have for our understanding of code switching more generally, or any other more broadly debated or theorised sociolinguistic question. she doesn't produce the corpus itself in an index (understandable, for reasons of privacy?), or do the scan that linguists usually do where they'll provide a translation at the level of the morpheme, one at the level of the word, and another at the level of the sentence, so that other linguists can follow what's happening grammatically. in fact a few of her translations are sort of bad and incomprehensible, because she tries to make the word-for-word literal translation stand in for the sentence-level translation of the whole utterance and as a result produces things that are not understandable to an English speaker.

so none of her data is necessarily accessible to anyone who doesn't speak Tashelhit (a variety of Tamazight), Darija, English, and French. nevertheless I can still see interesting observations to draw that she leaves on the table—for example she points out that "these text messages use abbreviations" and that English and French were more commonly abbreviated than Darija and Tashelhit, and reports the texters' explanation that this was because Darija and Tashelhit don't have a standard written form and so an abbreviation could be more confusing.

interestingly, though, the abbreviations they used in English were not the texting abbreviations that I would consider 'standard' in English, either in texting (especially during the years before cell phones had full keyboards) or online! one message reads:

I receivd ur nice card, thanks. Its up t us t do such a nice gesture.. Anyway, w/all mis u, always at our tongues, in our minds. Nxt time u mst com t Fac t see u. bye…

["Fac" from French "faculté," common casual term for "campus" in written and spoken French]

Hall describes this message as "peppered with the distinctive features that Crystal identifies as characteristic of text messages in English including initialisms, omitted letters, nonstandard spellings and shortenings" (p. 139) and leaves it at that.

but surely it matters which letters are omitted and which nonstandard spellings are used? 'standard' English textspeak (if such a generalisation can be permitted) uses "w/" to mean "with," not "we." "t" is not an abbreviation I've ever seen for "to"—you'd be more likely to come across "2." "ur" and "u" for "your" and "you," respectively, and "Its" for "it's," are much more familiar to me.

in others of the nine text messages whose text she produces I see some of the abbreviations I expect in French (& my sense is that these are more frequently used than abbreviations for English words online)—"slt" for "salut," "bcp" for "beaucoup," "jtm" for "je t'aime," "a+" for "à plus [tard]". also "mé" for "mais," which at least I have never seen before? unsure if other common ones ("qqun" for "quelqu'un," "j" for "j'ai," "tt" for "tout," &c.) occur because, again, she only produces nine text messages total.

so to what extent do text abbreviations arise spontaneously and to what extent are they common to communities of practice / speech communities? do the four speakers in the corpus use these abbreviations consistently throughout their texts, or do they seem more 'random'? do any of the speakers use some abbreviations or spellings that the other speakers do not use? what does this mean for the relationship between orthography and community / group identity in small groups who have to get creative with their writing (i.e. because they're sending messages in limited-character formats, often in languages without standardised writing systems)?

this was my first line of thinking here, but, to be far, Hall is focused on the writing of Darija. so is the Darija orthography standard across the corpus? across one speaker over time? do any of the speakers seem to borrow spellings from others? what does the orthography say about their language ideology (like, "lkhobz" is written for something which in standard Arabic would be "الخبز" alkhobz, "al" "the" and "khobz" "bread," with the "l" pronounced since "kh," the voiceless velar fricative at the beginning of "Hannukah," isn't one of the sounds that makes it silent—but the writer does not write "alkhobz" or "al-khobz" or "el khobz" or anything else that would point to the standard Arabic "al." they drop the "a" and thus reference Moroccan phonology rather than the Arabic orthography)?

maybe none of these things are the exact thing that Hall wanted to get at (she opens her dissertation with a lit review on 'language ideology' and 'fractal recursivity' [roughly, differences between language ideologies in different domains and contexts as a result of ideological disjuncture, such as being confronted with a written version of a language which you believe should not be written].) I guess what I'm missing is something that seems like it ties the analysis of the data to the literature, rather than the literature reviews sort of seeming like they're there so she can prove she knows the current state of the field (& the prevalence of the latter approach is a problem with, like, the entire structure of academia, not just Hall). or speculation about the implications of her observations for the field at large, rather than just pulling up a text when it on the surface agrees with what she observes. as it is, the chapter left me with the feeling of "oh... that's it?"

childe hatepage + yoimiya

masterlist | prev | nxt

kunikuzushi - he's better off known as his stage name, scaramouche. he came out of the blue a couple months ago but still loved by all fans around the world. but there is an issue. he is in line for one of the biggest companies in the world: euthymic inc.

kazuha - he is a ghostwriter for mostly celeste and sometimes other people. he opts for the name "scarlet" and is seen under the credits of every song he has written for. however, not everyone knows he is a ghostwriter. only the gc and celeste knows.

childe - a rich boy who has nothing else to do but be the cheerleader in the sidelines. just kidding! he is apart of the )kind of shady but well respected) agency, harbinger. (same agency that scaramouche's under!!)

aether - one of the twin stars with lumine! however, how he got into this gc was a wild one. it started as a plead (from childe) to aether to collaborate with scaramouche to being friends.

yoimiya - a renowned tevyat tuber or youtuber that got viral for making dog-friendly fireworks. later expanded into a channel for gaming or reviewing more fireworks. as well as that, she is also one of the cheerleaders in the sidelines.

I Can’t Do This Anymore

Warnings: The Judgment Day, Kinks (variety), polycule, Axiom did not approve of this, crack, plot what plot, oops, mentions of aftercare, mentions of lube, nudity, anal, awkward situations, mile-high club

1. Prelude - Axiom gets a promotion

Axiom stood stock still staring down at the piece of paper he’d been handed by a member of the Creative team. Shawn AND Hunter wanted to see him. He was either getting fired or an opportunity worth his weight in the division. They were relatively close to the Draft so maybe, maybe, he was getting a call up to Smackdown. That would be nice. He wasn’t sure how he felt about moving away from the friends he did have in NXT but he didn’t want to disappoint anyone. Frowning, he hurried to find the office in the arena.

Hunter and Shawn were both behind the desk, the pair looked up at him as he entered. “Axiom, glad to see you!” Shawn smiled, “We have a potential career advancement for you.”

Well, that sounded better, “We want to bring you up to RAW, potentially.” Hunter explained, “We want to start you with a trial run with The Judgment Day.” That was not what he expected, he thought for a moment that Hunter had wanted him to join LWO, which, given his whole masked persona made sense. But nope, it was the Goths. Axiom cocked his head to the side, clearly confused. Hunter chuckled, “I know you were hoping for the LWO, but we think you’d be a great fit in Judgment Day.”

Axiom cocked his head to the side before he nodded his head, “Alright, I uh, ok.” He shrugged, “When do I start?” He asked softly, still a little confused, “And do I need to change my gear?”

Shawn chuckled, “You need to go with black gear, for now, we aren't sure if you will uh, get any TV time, but for the first two weeks we just want you traveling with them.” Shawn cleared his throat as he pushed a folder toward him, “These are the latest spending accounts for The Judgment Day, we know you are good with numbers, so we’d like you to review their spending accounts, and get back to us.” Axiom nodded his head as he took the binder, and headed back out of the office, with the sinking realization that he wasn’t performing tonight.

2. Axiom reviewing the spending of the group

His first night ‘on the job’ Hunter wanted him to review everything the Judgment Day members bought regularly. He spent a long time highlighting different purchases that he felt were… odd. Thirty-three separate handcuff purchases, nineteen Mami collars, seven industrial bottles of lube, three rather odd industrial chain purchases for seven feet in length, what amounted to seventeen mini-feast in hotel rooms across America, and several purposes from a Leather Dom Shop, that after googling had him panicking about his apparently vanilla lifestyle and sex life. He flicked his gaze upward to see that this was only a monthly total of their accounts. What the hell had he agreed to?

3. Axiom asking about handcuffs

He slid into the outside seat on the flight, and looked between Dominik at the window and Rhea in the middle. “I have counted thirty-three handcuff purchases. I’ve reviewed the footage from recent RAW and SmackDowns, and you’ve only used three sets on television, exactly where are the other thirty.”

Rhea snatched the papers, and pointed at a singular purchase, “Bolt cutters.” She said things like that explained anything. Axiom gave her a long, patient look, she continued on, “We can’t seem to keep up with the keys, so like Dom and I will be… having a night in.” He was so relieved he was wearing a mask he could feel the flush on his cheeks, “And we like to play with the cuffs, but then I… uh, we can't find the keys.”

“So you cut them off?” Axiom asked.

Damian leaned forward from behind them, “I once had to go to a Harbor Freight in the middle of the night to pick up those bolt cutters, because Rhea had his ass up, shoulders down, hands behind his back, naked, and couldn’t find the keys.”

4. Axiom asking about Mami collars

He had tried to get Rhea to answer his questions but the woman was infuriatingly good at ducking him, Damian and Dominik had turned out to be openly sexual with no problems, so Axiom opted to go after Finn. “Hey, Irish?” Axiom caught the man by his arm - he hadn’t had a chance to really spend that much time with him.

“What do ya need, lad?” Finn asked, clearly in a hurry.

“I’ve been going over the reports…” He indicated to the papers in his hands, “In the last thirty days you had to purchase nineteen different collars with MAMI on them?”

Finn gave him a rude look, “Look, buddy, you are welcome here, as you know, but there are some questions you shouldn’t ask-”

“I’ve watched the RAW and SmackDowns…” Axiom started, “And I’ve counted eight possible collars-”

Finn ran a hand down his face, clearly irritated, “Look, she breaks them, ok, either in the ring, or when she and Damian are playing, he tugs on our collars.” Axiom almost asked about the our but decided that he didn’t need that information, “When the letters pop off, it’s cheaper to replace the whole thing then the letters.”

Axiom felt his face flush under his mask, as he thought about his next words, “Ok, thank you… for that, should I be on the lookout for other collar purchases?”

Finn blinked, “No, mine is leather, and Dom’s is a cute little velvet thing. We have bells on ours, not our name.” With that the man turned and stalked away, leaving Axiom awkwardly bouncing from one foot to another. He thought about texting Hunter, because this was maybe getting out of hand - he couldn’t tell if they were being honest or not about these purchases.

5. Axiom asking about industrial bottles of lube

Hunter had asked him to hurry up with the itemized reports. It was nine in the morning, a perfectly reasonable time to be up and out of bed, he’d knocked on the door multiple times, when no one had answered, he’d opted to go down to the front desk, and based on him being the ‘manager’ of the Judgment Day (at least on paper) he got a room key for the hotel room he thought belonged to Damian.

He should have listened harder, he adjusted his mask, slid the key card into the lock, and pushed the door open - Finn’s back was the first thing he saw, sweaty and muscled, as the man on his knees bounced up and down on Damian’s lap. It took a full minute for Axiom to connect the dots - Finn was riding Damian, the sheets pooled around Finn’s hips, “Fuck.” Damian hissed, as he caught sight of Axiom, pausing his hips, and sighing.

Axiom blinked rapidly, unsure for a moment, “Hey, Damo can I grab the-” Rhea paused as she emerged completely naked from the bathroom, “-lube.” She gazed at Axiom, “Are you joining? Did you invite another boy into the bedroom without asking me?”

“Nope.” Finn and Damian said at the same time. Rhea shrugged her shoulders, stalked across the room and grabbed one of the seven industrial bottles of lube that Axiom had meant to ask about - there were strawberries and kiwis on the front label. “What are you doing, lad?” Finn asked, curious.

“Mami, I’m colllllld.” Dominik whined from what Axiom assumed was the bathroom.

“I’m coming Dom Dom, Axiom has a question.” Dominik loudly whined, Damian made a motion with his hand indicating that Axiom should ask his question. Rhea shifted her weight, “So?”

“Uh, I don’t need to ask, I can see what you use it for.” With that he quickly retreated, slamming the door, and rushing down the hallway to his own hotel room, he tossed himself into it, locked the door, and threw himself face down on the bed, screaming - why the hell did they all have to be naked and comfortable.

6. Axiom asking about industrial chains

For once Axiom had managed to be the passenger rider in the ‘travel’ SUV. Finn and Rhea had both flown home to visit family, so right now Axiom was riding with Damian (who was driving) and Dominik who was stretched across the backseat, playing Candy Crush on his phone. “So, you know I’ve been reviewing what you, uh, collectively have been spending money on.”

“Right.” Damian hummed, “Find something interesting?”

The way he said it made Axiom a bit worried, was there more interesting things in their past? Should he be looking at previous month purchases? What was this man about? He cleared his throat, adjusted his mask, when it had gotten so hot in here, “There were three purchases for industrial strength chains, seven feet in length… ordered over a three week period.”

“One was for hitting my dad, but Bunny got in the way.” Dominik offered, “One was for choking Finn, right Damian?” The man behind the wheel chuckled as he agreed, “And the third one was for tying me to the hotel bed in Vegas…” He offered, unbothered.

Axiom blinked, “Who tied you to the bed? Was it consensual? And did Finn enjoy the choking?”

“Oh, I asked for her to tie me up, I like when she’s mean.” Dominik said with a shrug.

Damian was contemplative, “Finn couldn’t really complain between my dick down his throat and the chain around his neck…” Axiom promptly slammed his head against the window and let out a painful cry. This was not information he needed, a sufficient ‘bedroom usage and ring usage’ would have been fine. Damian and Dominik were both chuckling so hard he feared for their lives.

7. Axiom asking about late night food orders - the whole group aftercare

There is no safe time - Axiom has decided - to talk to these sex crazed goths about anything, except on the flights. Even that has to be timed properly, because they disappear in odd intervals in pairs to the bathroom, and Axiom is fairly sure they have so many mile-high club points they could fly for free. Heathens.

The four were mercifully tired out, so he sprung the next question, leaping half over the first class seats - “What is all the room service for, I just don’t understand!” He demanded. “Seventeen late night feast? You ordered everything, everything, off the menu in seventeen different hotels, at like three in the morning.”

“Aftercare.” Rhea offered, popping a cookie into her mouth - where had she gotten those?

“Aftercare.” He repeated, “Care to elaborate?”

Damian grinned, the grin that turned Axiom’s stomach, “Well after I fuck these three I need a steak and shrimp and a shit ton of fruit. I like whiskey, too, and sometimes some wine. Finn likes to get something hearty like soup, to get his energy back, Dominik is a chocolate fiend, and needs all the desserts, and Rhea likes all the salads and steals my fruits.”

Axiom blinked, “I’m sorry, could you run that back by me again, when you… seventeen nights in the last month you fucked all three of you're stable mates?” He felt his face heating up under his mask.

“Yeah, sometimes we do marathon sex.” Dominik popped a cookie in his mouth and shrugged.

“Marathon.. The other thirteen to fourteen nights what… do you sleep?” Axiom regretted the question as he asked it.

“We rotate.” Damian offered, “Every night I’m not keeping them up all hours of the night, we trade off by drawing our names out of a hat.”

“A… hat.” Axiom slid back into his seat, his mind trying not to crack open like an egg. It wasn’t safe, he decided, to ask them questions whatsoever. Maybe he should just stop asking, wait for his week to be up, then go back to NXT, that seemed safer - he wasn’t sure if he wanted Damian’s attention on him or his body, the older man had turned to size him up with a crooked smile. “Interesting.”

8. Axiom walking out of the bathroom only to find a stack of leather clothing, clearly just ordered

It was his last night, thankfully, thankfully, with the group. He had planned to tell Hunter and Shawn that he just couldn’t. He had locked his door, and had considered putting the desk against it - all four of the Judgment Day stable had increased their over the top flirting and touching of him since the discussion of late night orders, he knew for a fact there had been a feast the night before. He wrapped the towel around his waist, made sure his mask was in place - just in case, you could never be too sure - then he stepped out of his bathroom.

Neatly on his bed, wrapped in purple paper with a huge black bow was a gift box. He scanned the room and saw no one, his door was still shut, the curtains still pulled. He made sure the towel was properly around his waist, as he moved closer to the bed. A cute little note was on top:

Axiom, we are so glad you have decided to join us, as a thank you we got you some new duds, and your official scroll with your name on it to be added to our hat rotation, XOXO - TJD.

He dropped the note, letting out a deep shriek, “Noooo.” He wasn’t going to open it, he paced his room, but his curiosity got the best of him. With shaking hands he opened the top, inside was a new gear set which was admittedly nice, below that however, was a leather thong of sorts, with tassels hanging off of it, and additional leather straps, that seemed to do some sort of crossbody design. Under that was a collar with AXIOM embossed on the top, he wasn’t sure what noises he made, but he knew he prayed harder than he’d ever prayed in his life, he packed everything back up in the box, put the letter back, and hurried into his street clothes. He packed up quickly, and headed to check out before the others could miss him.

9. Axiom is done

“I appreciate you thinking about me for RAW or Smackdown, but I can’t do this anymore.” Axiom slammed his fist down on Hunter’s desk, “I can’t stand the thought of seeing one more naked body part, I don’t want to know what they purchase or why, and I don’t want to have to bleach my brian at least once a day to get over the fact that one of them has either overshared or announced a kink that I just can not…” Axiom slammed a bunch of papers down on the table, “They enjoy a strange life and I can’t…”

Hunter gazed down at the papers, “Damnit, I thought you’d like it, now I’m going to have to try JD…”

Axiom twitched, “How many have you tried to put in the fifth position with the Judgment Day?”

“Oh you're number eleven…” Hunter sighed, “Seriously, I asked them to tone down the sex…”

Axiom opened his mouth, then promptly changed his mind. “I’m going back to NXT, at least I know what to expect in the Hellspace that is our parking lot…” He trailed off, as he slowly backed out of the door, bothered.

10. Bonus

“Do you think Hunter is going to stop trying, now?” Dom asked, as he cuddled into bed with Rhea, Damian and Finn - the four were watching Lady and the Tramp in matching pajamas, under their black comforter, in the shared hotel room. Rhea had the popcorn balanced on her lap, while Damian was holding Dominik’s cup of milk.

“I’m sure if he tries it again, we can just get rid of them, like we did the last dozen.” Damian promised, as he chuckled. Finn hummed his agreement, “Think of how upset that poor boy would have been to know that we really order room service every night, just we use our own money half the time.”

The Love That Whirls, An Introduction

One of my biggest loves is women's pro wrestling. Ever since the early 2000s when I started watching wrestling, I was amazed by the women who found their way to the top. I loved Lita and Trish Stratus and was floored by how incredible the Gail Kim and Awesome Kong feud was. However, with the lack of exploratory knowledge of the Internet and lack of critical research I missed out on the best of the best from that time that had happened outside of major promotions and what little from Japan I knew about. I ended up falling away from really diving deep into it. I had seen the rise of 4 horsewomen of NXT and learned more and more about STARDOM as it grew in popularity. Social media helped give me glimpses of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW) and other smaller joshi promotions. AEW also helped with giving me exposure to the international scene, as well as the ill-fated NXT UK. Though, I never REALLY stayed focused on women's wrestling.

In 2023 however, I started watching TJPW more seriously. I wanted to really dive deeper after being inspired watching old joshi matches and video essays about the modern scene. I was also seeing American independent wrestlers I was familiar with participating in TJPW shows. So, I borrowed my friend's Wrestle Universe account and watched TJPW Grand Princess '23. I was amazed by how much fun I had watching, and wanted more. Not just more of TJPW, but I wanted to pay more attention to STARDOM, Marvelous, Sendai Girls, Pure-J, anything women's wrestling I could find. I initially included that with paying attention to more wrestling overall, and was rating matches across the board I enjoyed. Then it dawned on me that while I know that men's wrestling could be great, I was just losing immense amounts of interest. Especially in American wrestling and New Japan. Meanwhile, I was drawn back again and again to the women.

I started with deep diving into TJPW, STARDOM and as much of the American scene that was available to me (AEW, WWE, ROH, Impact and various others). I've put money into WRESTLE UNIVERSE, Marvelous and PURE-J. I got into Actwres Girl'Z, OZ Academy, WAVE and Sendai Girls. I know far more about the current picture than I did in March when I started. This has led me to wanting to not just rate matches or throw a few quick opinions out on Elon's hellhole or anywhere else. I decided that I should really consider covering the women's wrestling scene.

That's where this blog comes in.

While I am not ready to get started yet, I am looking to get fully invested in taking in as much women's wrestling as I can next year. I want a fresh start in January, and cover everything. These women bust their butts, and I want to just appreciate it and tell everyone all about it. From Tokyo Dome week to WrestleMania weekend, from the theaters and clubhouses in America to Arena Mexico. Wherever there is women's wrestling, I want to see it and tell you about it. On top of that, I want to deliver my thoughts on classics from time to time.

The Love That Whirls will be a new venture for me, but I want to try and bring the Internet the best writing I can produce about what I am passionate about. I can't just scream from the rooftops or post loudly from social media to watch things. I have to get as much of what I watch out there for the world to see, and learn about scenes I am less familiar with new and old. The importance of women's wrestling can only be shown if given the love and attention it deserves, and that's what I promise to deliver.

See y'all soon. I might post a classic review or two before the year gets started and offer a look back at 2023 if time allows.
