please tell me more about this geoff/gerard proof 👀

anon how much time do u have

thought about being jokingly tinhatting with my response to this but i dont actually think they full fucked or whatever. so instead i'm just gonna dump several thousand words of an earnest attempt to outline why geoff and gerard deserve the same treatment received by other legendary canonical friendships like bert & gerard, mikey & pete, etc etc

also i caught the riot fest covid so idk how comprensible i will be. and idk how much sense some of this will make if you don't already have, like, rudimentary knowledge about geoff rickly's start in the hardcore scene in new brunswick, nj, so obligatory plug of the thursday primer that me and nic @raytorosaurus put out a while ago.

but tl;dr, geoff rickly and gerard way were drawn to each other literally from the beginning. since then, neither have left the other's orbit. they are legit cosmically connected narrative foils who could have been each other's closest confidant but never have been more than incredibly meaningful people to the other due to instance after instance of wrong place, wrong time.

i'll do my best to sum up some of the most poignant moments in their over twenty-year-long friendship, but nic and i are drafting several other posts that more diligently delineate the connections between thursday and mcr in their overlapping, mirrored careers and similarities/divergences in their goals/approaches as musicians.

so anyway despite what you might have assumed from the story that goes around where geoff heard gerard and mikey (badly) playing vampires at the eyeball house and wasn't impressed, i believe that at that point they'd already been friends for a while.

this is how gerard recalls the moment he met geoff:

Way: I remember it super vividly. Do you remember? I was walking out of the record shop that Alex [Saavedra, Eyeball Records] worked at on Kearny Avenue and you were standing against a wall wearing a black t-shirt. You were rail skinny and you looked like you were dying and you were so pale with this jet black hair. Rickly: My vegan lifestyle was not agreeing with me. Way: It looked like the sun was killing him. [long pause] And I thought he was super cool. (from their interview with vice in 2015)

long pause and i thought he was super cool.....like....

this is what geoff looked like back then btw. im guessing it was around 2000/early 2001 that they met since thats the outer limits of geoff's black hair goth days

(source)

gerard designed shirts for bands in the scene, including this one for thursday, probably done around 2001 when the dove became the main symbol associated with thursday. at this point mikey was a regular at the eyeball house but gerard was still hiding away in his house, but would always talk about his brother.

Geoff: "I knew Mikey from parties at the eyeball house. I liked Mikey a lot, and he was like, 'you're gonna love my brother Gee (he called him Gee all the time), Gerard, he's the best comic book artist, he's always at home, just working on comic books.' So I was like yeah, I wanna meet this kid, you know, I wanna make comic books with him, you know, that sounds awesome!" (source)

after that geoff kept asking mikey when his brother would come down to the eyeball house, because he'd loved comics since he was a kid, but he was too shy to verbalize that, and his love of comics wasn't something he'd ever actually shared with anyone other than his grandmother, who had just passed away, but he heard that this quiet guy who'd sometimes hang out with the scene's resident kid brother was this amazing comic book artist, and geoff decided that gerard was a person he wanted to know.

So like they were literally talking about writing a comic book together: geoff would write and gerard would draw. but they never were able to spend that much time together. thursday found massive and unanticipated success in late 2001 when understanding in a car crash started playing on mtv nonstop and gerard was still a hermit for the most part but had started to piece together the band that would become my chemical romance.

so then blah blah blah the story where gerard and mikey introduced the idea of their band to geoff we've all heard it. i linked it above but you can read the excerpt from dan ozzi's sellout here if you aren't familiar with the details already.

and that story ends with geoff listening to their demo and realizing that this little band actually had something. but i firmly believe that geoff loved the scene and was so compelled by gerard's art and wanted to collaborate creatively with him that he would have been willing to do it regardless of if he came around to their music or not.

geoff said this in a podcast in 2018:

"Gerard is sort of like... when he's not sort of hiding out in his house somewhere, he's actually so charming and personable. There's a reason why I was so drawn to him, and that he's, like, a superstar."

obviously we'll never know, because geoff was so compelled by the music that he played their demo to death in the tour van and then took the only two weeks that thursday had off in one of the busiest years of their career while in the midst of a super contentious legal affair with their record label to produce bullets.

okay now that i am looking at what i have written so far i look like an insane person and that is okay but i think that i will save the rest for another longer post about the fated careers of mcr and thursday. but i feel that i have done my job by just giving you this taste. more to come but their friendship literally so expansive and detailed (in ways that I don't usually see articulated here) that a single tumblr post is never going to do it justice. as i said, stay tuned, we're working on something more.

tl;dr (another one) gerard and geoff are perennially obsessed with each other & have been since literally the first time that they laid eyes on each other and it comes out the second that either of them have to be even a little reflective on the other's career thanks for reading my manifesto bye.

#mcr #gerard way #geoff rickly #thursday band #SORRY FOR RAMBLING SO LONG AND GETTING LITERALLY NOWHERE #its just that i cannot allow myself to forgo literally any single one of the small details #mine #geoffrard tag

A few days or maybe a week into being hired is when Fiona finds out most of the crew live in the penthouse with Geoff, at which point she immediately demands a sleepover. Nails will be painted, hair will be braided, boys will be talked about, nobody is safe

YES, SO MUCH YES, I LOVE THIS OKAY SO-

Fiona gets this idea because she wants to know more about the crew as a whole and she wants to hang with her newfound family, and what better way to get to know someone than when it's 4 am and you're all tired as hell telling secrets or something?? So she calls Geoff up and is like, "Hey dad can I have a sleepover?" (Yes she actually says that, you cant convince me otherwise) and Geoff is like ?? What? And so she explains her plan to him and he's automatically on board. They have no jobs coming up for at least a month, why not let loose? So she makes a huge group chat for the entire crew to let them know, and also she's like, wait why dont you guys have a group chat already wth

So now everyone is ready and hyped!! She shows up at the penthouse super early that morning to help Jack and Ryan prepare for having 11 people in it for one whole night. (We all know Gav isn't finna help, Geoff is asleep, and Michael and Jeremy are helping as well, but mostly with cleaning up a bit and finding entertainment) By 2 in the afternoon, things look great!! The furniture in the living room has been moved around a bit so there's enough room in the middle, where a bunch of pillows and blankets are likely gonna be placed. There's a Switch and an X-Box by the tv, ready to be played. Board and card games like Twister, Uno, and Monopoly are set to the side, ready to cause trouble. Snacks are spread throughout the room, unopened sodas, beer, candy, and chip bags. It all looks great, and Fiona is so excited!! The first one to arrive is Matt, Switch and two boxes of donuts in hand. Then, the Twins, Trevor and Alfredo. Wearing matching adult sized onesies they picked up along the way! And finally, Lindsay. She's a bit latez but nobody questions it because it's well. It's Lindsay.

Everyone is finally here!! The livingroom and kitchen are full of people chatting and playing games. (Lets say they're playing Animal Crossing bc I'm obsessed lol) and Geoff is even out of bed now too. Everyone went all out on this, and Fiona couldn't be happier. All wearing pajamas and sitting on the floor or laying on the couches and chairs, like the children they all are on the inside. Eating candy, even making a bit of a mess, but they'll just clean it up later. It's around 10 pm when Lindsay calls for everyone's attention from her spot on the floor.

"So, as you all know, I was a bit late today. BUT do you know why that is?"

A few wrong answers later, she digs into a backpack she brought with her and out comes a slew of makeup, brand new, and a ton of face paint and nail polish. Fiona squeals and is like, "You actually brought it, yesss! Who's our first victim?"

Michael and Geoff immediately nope out of there and head to the kitchen, but everyone else seems game. Especially Gavin and Alfredo, who practically jump in front of the two girls, tripping over people along the way. Gavin occasionally wears a bit of makeup or nail polish here or there, so he wants his face painted! His mistake? Asking Lindsay to do it. 30 minutes later, she's done with her masterpiece. Gavin looks in the mirror, expecting to see a mess, but he actually doesn't hate it? A gold drips painted from his forehead that go over his left eye, and a small gold heart under his right eye. He actually looks really cool! Then, he turns around to show the others, and they laugh?? Why are they laughing? He looks pristine! He looks again. Oh. That's not a heart. It's a dick. He let's out one of his signature loud squawks of shock and disappointment, with a "Lindsayyy!!" Thrown in for good measure, and jumps over the others to run to the kitchen sink.

During all of this though, Fiona and Alfredo arent laughing. Fiona is laser focused on making Fredo the hottest person in the room. And she does. She stares at her work, nearly an hour after she started, and is proud. Alfredo is loving it too, making kissy faces at the other crew members, posing and showing off his red nails while Jack takes pictures of him using a Polaroid she bought just for this occasion.

Anyways, that's all done. Nobody else wants to get their faces done, in fear they'll end up like poor ol Gav, so they move on (tho Fredo and Gav do keep their looks, Gav is just missing the "heart") Things calm down again for a bit, and everyone is telling stories. Fiona is in the middle of talking about what her life in France was like before moving to Los Santos, when she realizes she's been subconsciously braiding Matt's hair while he sits in front of her on the floor. She stops and is joking like, "aw dude wtf I've been touching Matt's hair" and then Matt is like, "Yeah but this is actually not a bad look if I'm being honest" and the others agree with him! Michael says it makes him look a bit less like an animal (I swear I love Matt lmao but you know they'd bully him during this, nobody is safe) and then Trevor is like, "you should do Ryan's next!! He has long hair too!!"

Ryan is against it at first but eventually is forced to take Matt's spot on the floor, and by the time Fiona's story is done, so is Ryan's new look, and lemme tell ya. That boy can ROCK a braid. Everyone is like, "Daaaamn, Ry, look at you GO" and "Of course he looks better than Matt, the dude was a model" and this actually makes Ryan kinda happy!! He likes his friends giving him validation, sorry I don't make the rules.

The night continues as normal. More stories are told, and they slowly start to get deeper as it gets later. Stories of their past lives, their first kills and first crimes, and romance too. They talk about their worst and best past relationships, what they're looking for in a partner, things like that.

(This is about to get a bit shippy, so I'm sorry if you dislike any of these ships, they're just the ones I personally like and wanted to write about, with my own headcanons for each character and their sexualities. If anybody is interested in me talking about my personal HC's for that, send in an ask tho cause this is already kinda long lol)

At one point, Trevor actually draws attention to himself. Things are quiet and more chill now. Everyone is being supportive, so this is good as time as any-

"Uh, actually, I kinda wanna tell you guys something since we're on the topic. I'm..bisexual."

Everyone is silent for a second, and he actually starts to get nervous, then Lindsay pipes up with

"Dude, hell yeah, bi gang! Love wins, what's up!"

Everyone smiles and laughs, and Fiona highfives Lindsay. Geoff is the next to speak up, "That's great news, Trevor. When did this realization hit you, bud? I've known you for a while now, I had no idea."

"Oh, it was actually maybe..a few months ago? A year maybe? Yeah. About half a year ago I'd say."

Michael chimes in next,

"Wait, isn't that also when you found Fredo and introduced him to Geoff?"

A few oooooh's ring out and Trevor tries to hide his face by looking down and chuckling.

"Uh, yeah. It is.. Anyways! What about you guys? Jeremy, what's your type?" He looks to the shorter male who's lounging on a beanbag near the tv, trying to divert everyone's attention from himself. Jeremy thinks for a second and takes a sip of his beer.

"Hm. Not sure. I like tough people who have a soft side usually, just like me.."

As he names off a few other things he finds attractive, Jack shoots a knowing look over to Ryan. Ryan's had a thing for Jeremy for a while now, and only she knows about it. When you're the crew mom, your kids tell ya everything.

This continues for a while longer with more almost-confessions, before people eventually start slowly passing out. (After a few games of Uno of course. The Monopoly stayed untouched, and they started a game of Twister but were to drunk to stay still and kept toppling onto each other painfully.)

This is a bit longer than I intended and I left out a LOT I wanted to put in but I don't wanna make these too long aishsijsjs I'm not good at writing lol I'm sorry, but I hope you like this!! I could elaborate on other aspects of anyone is curious, I'll be accepting these asks all day so keep em coming 💚💚💚

TearDrops on my guitar (that was tswift right?) and MaggieScott

Margaret met the love of her life in college. It wasn't love at first sight, but they loved each other before they were in love. The best of friends.

Scott Lang was a modern Robin Hood; stealing from the rich and distributing it back out to those in need. He had a bigger heart than anyone in the world.

Margaret had always been called Peggy by her family, friends and just about everyone she met.

Scott called her Maggie.

"Maggie is a great name!" Scott had said the first day they met. "And besides; friends give each other nicknames all the time."

The next thing Margaret knew, she was Maggie.

Scott and Maggie were soon inseparable. They made each other friendship bracelets between study sessions and classes. They slept on each other's dorm floors and talked all night; about parents and dreams and anything they wanted to.

The third day of spring break during their junior year, Maggie got a phone call.

"Hey, Mags." Scott's voice said from the other end of the line.

"Scott? What's wrong?"

"I got arrested. It's no big deal, I just need someone to pick me up." Scott said.

"Yeah, of course." Maggie grabbed a pen and paper. "Where are you?"

"Thank you so much." Scott sighed when he gave the station address. "Maggie, I love you so much."

Neither of them know when they went from friends to lovers, but soon they were graduating and moving in together. They eloped when they were twenty six.

A little over a year later, Maggie held a pregnancy test in the middle of their kitchen.

"We're having a baby!"

Scott cried and hugged her tight. They were going to be parents. And by God, they were going to provide for this child better than their own parents ever did. And to do that--

"Scott," Maggie kissed him through both of their tears, "I need you to promise me something."

"Anything." Scott said earnestly. He was so excited.

"I need you to stop." Maggie told him. "I want us to be better than our parents, and I don't want you to be arrested and put in prison. You need to promise me you'll stop breaking the law."

"I promise." Scott said so quickly, and Maggie knew he was serious. "I promise. I wont do anything illegal ever again."

The next week, they got a basket of muffins and a card congratulating them in the mail.

"Why does Officer James Paxton know we're having a baby?" Maggie asked when she set the basket on the table.

"Funny story." Scott laughed and read the card. "So, a couple days ago I was driving, and Jim pulled me over."

"Why?"

"I was speeding." Scott waved away the question. "And while I was apologizing, I kind of told him you're pregnant."

Maggie snorted with laughter. "Did that get you out of a ticket?"

"It did!"

They laughed together about it with a chocolate chip muffin split between them.

On July 20, 2008, Cassandra Lang was born.

Scott and Maggie cried and laughed as they held their baby girl. It was the best day of their lives.

The happiness lasted. For four years, the three of them were the happiest they could be.

Then, Scott came home from work angry.

He didn't show it, but Maggie could tell from his stiff posture as he hugged Cassie and asked her about her day.

"What happened?" Maggie asked after she kissed his cheek and sent Cassie to play in her room.

"Geoff Zorick." Scott spat the name out like it tasted bitter.

"Your boss?" Maggie slid her arms around his waste. "What did he do?"

"He's been overcharging all the Vistacorp customers illegally for years!" Scott's anger was on behalf of the customers, who didn't know any of this.

"That's horrible!" Maggie's anger was in the same place. "Are you going to tell the police? What about that officer that gave us the muffin basket?"

"I want to go in after we put Cassie to sleep tonight." Scott said. "Do you want to come with me?"

Maggie shook her head. "I'm going to stay with Cassie. I'm proud of you."

Scott smiled and bent his neck to kiss the crown of her head. "I love you."

The next day, Scott came home early. Cassie didnt run up to him with loud giggles because she was still at preschool. He dropped a box of items onto the kitchen table.

The box had his desk possessions in it.

"I got fired."

"Oh, honey." Maggie hugged him tighter than she had in years.

"They fired me because I blew the whistle." Scott hugged her back just as tight.

"Is he going to get arrested?"

"There's an investigation going on right now, but no legal action can be taken right now." Scott said into Maggie's hair.

"Sweetheart, I'm so sorry." Maggie could feel him shaking. She didn't know if he was crying or angry.

He was angry. And he was planning something.

He let Cassie have an extra scoop of ice cream after dinner, and he told her two stories. Like he was trying to soften a blow that hadn't landed yet.

"Scott." Maggie said when they were alone. "Whatever you're thinking, don't."

"I have to." Scott wouldn't look at her. "They're robbing people."

"No, you don't have to." Maggie was getting scared. "Please, you don't have to."

"I--" Scott shook his head and cleard his throat. "Mags--"

"Don't, please." Maggie blinked back a few tears.

"Maggie--"

"Scott, you promised."

They both both cried. They both went to bed.

At 3 a.m., the phone rang.

Maggie woke up and didn't see Scott beside her, and dread filled her heart.

"Margaret Lang?" Maggie's heart stopped.

"Speaking." She couldn't breathe.

"Your husband was just arrested. Can you come to the station?"

Maggie nodded, then coughed. "Yeah--yes. Yes, I'm on my way."

Maggie swiped her thumb under her eye and went to get dressed.

There was a note on Scott's pillow.

Maggie,

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

I broke my promise.

I don't expect you to forgive me, I wouldn't blame you if you dont.

I love you.

Maggie didn't know who cried on the paper more. And she didn't care.

The note was laying at the bottom of their wastebasket in pieces.

The trial was short, thank God.

Scott was found guilty and sentenced to three years in San Quentin State Prison. Maggie watch, tears falling from her face the entire time. Cassie didn't know what was happening, and she cried too.

Scott had shame written on his face as he was taken out in handcuffs.

An envelope was mailed out a month later, divorce papers ready for signing inside.

Maggie loves Scott, but she loves Cassie more.

Margaret wouldn't vowed to be better than her parents, and so did Scott.

She was miserable, but the divorce was for the best. It was for their daughter.

A year after the divorce, when Officer James Paxton said: "Maggie, am I correct?"

Margaret pursed her lips and said: "call me Meg."

Margaret met her best friend in college. It wasn't love at first sight, but they loved each other before they were in love.

They were the best of friends. They would be forever and ever and until the end of time. But sometimes, best friends weren't meant to fall in love.

monday october 12

i dont really know what to write about since nothing interesting happens often. and i don’t want to write anything hopeful since the virus is still at a critical level in the us, and election day is less than a month away which just adds to the stress and grimness, since all the polls say biden will beat trump but that exactly what was predicted on election day 4 years ago. tr*mp says if he wins, then its the will of the people but if he loses its rigged and he won’t transfer power. they asked this mf point blank to denounce white supremacy and he told his followers to stand by. i hate thinking about all that because it’s scary to think what will happening the future if he’s elected again. im not saying biden is gonna solve everything but he’ll do a hell of a better job than whats happening now. 45 has let 220,000 americans die from the virus, and he might join them since being diagnosed a week ago. doctors say he’s fine but the same has been said about another conservative figure who was just as old as trump. it took a month for him to die, and the last time we saw 45 in public he was gasping for air. i hope he dies that way.

Omar’s bday was last night and I got him michael jackson’s off the wall picture vinyl. i also bought the cake, which was fantastic. his girlfriend didn’t come, which was great because i don’t know if seeing her would’ve done to me. I didn’t drink, just smoked and we played cards. he was very fucked up off an edible i made for him, with the weed i was smoking. im so happy he liked it. he loved the cake too, which i would’ve baked for him but that would’ve been too much (I still need to maintain a level of deniability when it comes to my feeling for him). I didn’t sit next to him but I found myself staring when i started to smoke, as the strain I smoke, gelato, typically makes me really hungry, and really horny (its the perfect date strain). his lips looked so soft, and his hair is so cute. he says he’s balding but I don’t mind. he’s always going to be so handsome. his mother loves me but i don’t know how she’d feel if we were together. would she let me stay the night like she let his past girlfriends?

Josh told me he lost his job at amazon because he accidentally left early. Literally probably the hardest worker in the whole damn warehouse, and they just up and fired him. he said he’s gonna find a job and i think he wont ask for money because he had been pulling in a thousand a week at amazon for a while. I want to be up there, and all that needs to happen is that i need to fix my car. then find a job obviously. build some credit, build work history while staying with josh, and we can get an apartment. but I’m still kind of iffy on working. there are the obvious health reasons, and I was making a lot of money on unemployment. when they start giving more again, I’ll be saving a lot. but if i find a job, I will make Significantly less money. and then i’ll start to have to pay for car insurance and rent and i want to get my teeth fixed and it’s just a really stressful time right now.

So this week r*an haywood of ach*evement hunter and ad*m kovic of funh*us were fired from r*oster teeth, the parent company of both those properties, for engaging in extramarital affairs with fans of the companies. the first lets plays i ever watched were from ah, since 2013, back when it was classic ah with the classic lineup of geoff, gavin, michael, ray, jack, and ryan. just six guys in a room screaming at each other over min*craft or gta. I discovered funhaus when roosterteeth acquired them in 2016 or 17, and I have been hooked since then. classic lineup included bruce, james, lawrence, spoole, elyse, joel, peake, and adam. much edgier content, and an older demographic. these guys were just on another level of comedy and gaming. this past wednesday, a google drive link was posted to 4ch*n, that included hundreds of pictures taken by adam of himself nude and in lewd positions, all screenshotted by a fan he was sending them to over instagram. there were some photos of ryan as well, and some are alleging he raped a minor, but its all here-say at this point. all the members of their respective groups made tweets talking about how shocked and hurt they were (some were less than surprised and made tweets explicitly calling out adam, and some tweeted cryptic song lyrics that represented the situation well). they say never meet your heroes and over the past five years, i think thats becoming a proven point. Im still attracted to adam, even though i know he’s an asshole cheater. i remember just absolutely drooling over his big arms and chest, and when burnie burns confirmed he had the biggest cock in the company, i was over the moon. well let me just say that’s the last straw for me. no more white men for me EVER. im totally done with them. its sad to see adam leave when so many of the original lineup have gone (its just james and elyse now). it really won’t be the same now. ah will survive this, and i will just have to wait until they put out official response videos up explaining everything.

it’s fall now, and cuffing season is upon us. I wonder what its like to have someone that is truly invested into you, who make it their business to make you feel cared for. I want the weather to be cold soon, so i can just lay in bed all day and cuddle my body pillow and be warm, and think about my future man and all the ways i’ll take care of him and all the ways he’ll take care of me. i wanna make him soup and bake pies and keep him full and he’ll take me to the pumpkin patch and it will be cloudy and we might even hold hands. just boys being boys. dressed nice and warm with flannels and hoodies and boots. i would even drink coffee again and we’d sit at the coffee shop and hold hands to keep warm. my small hands in his big strong hands. just a thought ive been kicking around in my head.

BALDY BALDY OVER THERE WHAT'S IT LIKE TO HAVE NO HAIR

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the review of Show 76 of the #100showyear that took me once again to Stockport for a Sold Out No Vacancy Futureshock Wrestling show featuring the Triple Threat Adrenaline Title match with Pete Dunne (Champion) vs Soner Durson vs Xander Cooper. As with GPW and Futureshock the other month, the name value of Pete Dunne has added not only bums on seats but a buzz around both products introducing new faces to Soner Durson who has been tearing up the North West scene and is a lock for appearances in Progress or even Fight Club Pro.

But before all the fun of the fair, it was time to meet up with a host of people from the graps gang who were either here for the wrestling or as new challengers for the coveted BritWres Pool Championship currently held by Athers.

First pub was The Chestergate which is based near the main shopping area in Stockport and provides a service for all of your sporting needs with BT Sport and Sky Sports on over at least 8 screens. Drinks here was your usual run of the mill drinks with pints of Amstel Bier being £2.90 which is lower than usual, some of the clientele was less than to be desired including a man with a fully tattooed head looking like a reject from the Blue Man Group.

Next pub was the local Wetherspoons establishment, as we know is a britwres staple to go to at least one and stay there forever. Drinks here including a pint of Ginger Tinge (4.4%) for £2.49 and a pint of Lager Shandy for £3.20 which as a responsable drinker like myself, I found to be a bit steep in price.

Spoons done, it was off to the Pool Mecca of Stockport - The Nelson Tavern where a waiting Athers (cue in hand) was waiting for the raft of contenders to his throne. Lets see what went down:

I myself lost a no.1 contenders match with Chris Linay after my big giant hands didn't get out of the way quick enough to cost me 2 shots to allow Chris to clear up after my protests over the Loughbrough Rules fell on deaf ears.

Athers valiantly lost his title to former title holder Our Geoff after a close contest. Geoff then surrendered the title to The Boozerweight Chris Duffy due to "Death By Black Ball, Duffers fresh from drinking Lemonade all afternoon continued on a decent win streak over Linay, Geoff again and a lucky win over myself (black ball of doom).

But the run came to a halt, with Champion at the start of the day - Athers coming back to regain his crown and in doing that before any other contenders could get warmed up, he drove off into the Stockport Sunset with his title, which will next be defended on October 22nd at The Fenton in Leeds - Free Admission in but bring your 50p's.

Pool drama done, it was on to the wrestling which started at least 35 minutes late due to the sheer amount of people jam packed into the Guildhall and as we would find out a massive sound problem which left us with no music for the 1st half.

Enter Matt Taylor Richards (He Fears Bread) asking us to do our best to sing the entrance themes or make enough noise as possible for the wrestlers, to which the Futureshock Faithful duly obliged. So what was the first sing- up OH! I mean Match Up.

TELL ME WHAT YA THINK YOUR LOOKIN AT! PANTS! Danny Hope vs DOOOO DOOO DOOOO DOOOO DOOOOO DUH DUH Abel Stevens. This was a good opener with Abel who has been on a run of losses since a good opening start to his fledgling career and it was here, his streak of losses continued as Danny Hope hit a superkick for the 1-2-3 for a morale boosting win for Hope.

Next match was Chardonnay who wasnt reported to have had a sang theme tune vs Lana Austin who came out to a rendition of Aerosmith's "I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing" mixed with "Do The Conga" by Black Lace. Good womens match here with Champion Lana Austin getting the win in around 10 minutes with a DDT for a popular victory. Chardonnay who I remember last seeing as a chav character in NGW and Futureshock looked the part here in this new role as Lady Chardonnay not looking pleased at the aled up congregation on the back row.

To the sound of claps mixed in with The Caravan of Love by The Housemartins - its JJ Webb vs The Sound of Stomping and RAAAARRRS! - its a newly masked Cyanide. Ive got to say, I love Cyanide in this monster role just rag dolling his opponents including a super one armed backbreaker that looks like it legitamately breaks his opponent in half, this is what poor JJ fell to in a valiant effort.

I can see Cyanide running through a few of the lesser lights on the roster, till a Rampage Brown comes back for a huge big lads collision that could be all kinds of great.

Back from the second half and the sound had made a great comeback to save our voices or maybe because Halls Soothers had sold out at the nearby petrol station.

Meat & Veg (Don Meacho & Ryan Hendricks) vs the ever popular Tag Team Champions Sexy Gents (Sexy Kev AND JON!). Really enjoyed this match despite it being a face vs face setup but the sway of the vote went to The Sexy Gents who are a good unit to watch. It once again proved fruitful here for The Gents who hit the Big Money Shot to get the win. After the match, Cyanide came down to smash both Don & Ryan so im guessing thats your next opponents on Cyanide's list of terror, Meacho vs Cyanide could be a good scrap if it happens.

The chimes of Genesis rang out and here comes everyones favourite bald chicken - Damon Leigh who got some right abuse about his bald head:

BALDY BALDY OVER THERE

WHATS IT LIKE TO HAVE NO HAIR

IS IT HOT! IS IT COLD!

I DONT KNOW COS IM NOT BALD

REPEAT X 6

He took on Mr. Lovely Hair, Lovely Face On His Pants, The Mane Event, Cos' He's Worth It - James Drake.

A previous contest between the two ended up with the famous Chicken In A Bin Spot with Damon in said bin. This match was a play off that match and was a very fun match between to of the most underated workers in the UK, Damon especially is a comedy genius.

The finish came when Drake got distracted by rival Zack Gibsons music only to get hit by a move from Damon to lose in a fantastic match. Thankfully though the bin made a return to end up over Damons head, who was then hung up in the corner ready for Drake to take pictures with Resident North West Booing Machine - Shauna, Top entertainment.

Talking segment time with Ashton Smith being officially declared in a presentation as Futureshock Champion who asked for new challengers and out came T-Bone who accepted with a giant headbutt to set a title match for the 19th November.

Main Event time with the aforementioned 3 way stated at the start of this review. I would go as far to say that this could easily be in the Top 5 Futureshock matches of the year, everyone looked brilliant and worked their arses off in a over 15 minute match. The finish came when Fitzgerald was distracted by Little Daddy Walter whilst Xander Cooper was laying the boots to Soner Durson, but whats this - Sam Bailey for the save or so we thought till 😮😮😮

BAILEY TURNS ON SONER! Bailey laid Soner out leaving Cooper to submit a valiant Durson who tapped out, so your new Adrenaline Champion - Xander Cooper to the boos of the audience.

Drinks prices - £2.50 for bottles of Desperado and £4 for pint cans of Guiness.

Overall a great show with not a bad thing to report, a molten hot crowd who added to the show in a great way despite the early technical issues. Make sure you check Futureshock Wrestling out for upcoming dates at theor website, one of which is the 19th November back in Stockport #grapsandclaps.
