Oh wow. I miss one Smackdown and… holy shit.
Look… we all know I am decidedly not a Cody fan. I don’t like him, never did.
BUT even I can fully admit that they did him dirty with this. The look on his face in that segment is sickening and it truly made me feel for the guy.
This kinda throws me back to the olden days of Rock vs Cena with Punk being the odd man out when he was promised that main event spot time and time again only to hear “next year” over and over again.
The writing and booking on this one make zero sense and are a hot mess.
And while I personally do not see what others see in him, I feel for the Cody fans who were excited about this year’s Mania.
So unless they’re trying to build up to another Yestlemania or Kofimania type of thing where things end up in a Triple Threat match, they really messed up here and I get why people are furious.
I’ll let them cook, I guess, cause I’ve been wanting Roman vs The Rock for forever and a day. But not like this, honestly. I know the plans were there long before Cody came back to the company, but this still feels kinda wrong.
That being said: What I can assure you of is that my blog is a safe space for everyone, Roman fan, Cody fan, every other fan. I know a lot of friends and moots are Cody fans and I respect everyone’s opinions.
I’ll just be over here vibing and continuing to block all the meanies, cause I don’t want that kind of negative energy around.
But sincerely, if you’re a Cody fan, I’m sorry. You deserved better than this.
#thoughts on the cody situation#not tagging this cause I don’t want shit from either side#I’m just here vibing and doing my own thing#wrestling thoughts

A Theory on Malakai Black V Colors, focusing on Gold
This has been cooking in my head since last years Double or Nothing lol but I started feeling a little silly over my previous theory posts lol But I finally shook it off, and I am sadly and unfortunately back to bug you all with these 💗
I'm always terrible at starting any writing lmaoo so I'm going to try and start with focusing on the heavy use of red recently since the House's return, a color that was once used sparingly as both a beacon and warning. To run back to several allusions made by Malakai of a burning house, now paired with his most recent jacket, which bears either the image of a flame-enshrouded Kali - a deity of violent change - or Manasa Devi - a snake goddess, known for her protection against poisons - and the words written with it:
thehannahhorror: ‘The House had to burn / To be built in ash / Tongue of Black / Free the dark within… / Sweet hands of Death, / Bury this agony, / Suffer his enemies / To these licking flames. / May their lies spill out / Of open wounds, / Like the serpent’s speech hereafter. / The House must endure / This, the raging storm / Create chaos, consume / Their jeering laughter.’ - The Black Tongue, 2022
Fire has traditionally been seen as both an exacting punishment and thing of purification. These new allusions and the imagery of a burning House go hand-in-hand with the presence of Kali, who is commonly depicted dancing in fires, fire which, used in her presence, is meant to represent the idea and concept of change through destruction. A resurrection from ashes.
It's almost as if we see The House itself finding its own change in these fires, presented visually through this burning, red entrance.
But focusing just on gold, this all goes back to Double of Nothing of 2022...
This was the heaviest use of gold we had seen, now seemingly inhabiting the House's entire being, seeping from the eyes, the mouths... The only other use of gold we had seen until that moment was in Malakai's gear, but in that moment, it had become something else entirely.
I am going to try and divide my thoughts into two paths: one of gold, and the other the color yellow.
Gold has always carried the status of stateliness and royalty. Of kinghood, godhood, divinity, and immortality. Of greed and avarice.
We see it's undeniable connection to the color yellow: a metal associated with the sun, and by extension, intrinsically tying gold to the sun itself. And with the gold dripping from their mouths, it brings an interesting visual connection to the imagery of the sun-consuming demon, a concept that has commonly been tied to the apocalypse, from ancient Egypt to the Norse, where the devouring of the sun and moon was the herald of the end times.
Continuing to touch on the idea of gold/yellow as a color in the idea of it's symbolism, especially in tarot, we find a neat connection to the other colors he has used in his gear and entrances. Within tarot imagery, red that of the conscious intellect, the physical, blue was seen as the intellect of the subconscious, and finally yellow, gold, that of the superconscious, and through that, it's connection to the highest planes of our existence. A connection to divinity.
What's interesting now that I'm actually thinking about it and writing it down as I go is that, Malakai used colors as a way to 'count down' to Brody's debut; those colors were, in order, yellow, blue, red. With the idea of tarot symbolism in mind for these colors, it almost feels like it was a herald, a calling, of the descent of something spiritual to something physically manifesting on earth... So yeah, I'll definitely have to think about that...
But the greatest thing I couldn't shake was it's connection to ichor, the very blood itself of the immortal Greek gods.
While the color of ichor is never explicitly described in any sources, aside from the Argonautica that claimed it 'flowed like molten lead' and the Illiad where the gods 'may bleed, nectareous', it is both traditionally and poetically seen as gold in color, unquestionably due to the Greek's association with gold being a divine and immortal color.
But the thing that's really interesting about ichor itself is that while it was lifegiving to the gods, it was poisonous to humans...
malakaiblxck: The dark sun, poisoned by gold blood.
In the Greek concept of 'ichor' we again see the connection between two contrasting elements: immortality and death, life and poison. Poison that was once black spat from Malakai's mouth, now is gold and brings both immortal life to himself and a painful ending to his enemies.
We see that idea now, again, of a poison being the catalyst for change; perhaps this time a change to the House of Black. Continued motifs and ideas of godliness and ascension, both physical and that of the conscious. A completed circle. Or, at the very least, a completed cycle.
Now what I find really neat is the explicit image of a golden blood, a golden poison, that was not harmful to the bearer, but harmful to mortals - harmful to Malakai's enemies. Not a rotting thing within Malakai himself, as the black mist seemed to be. I feel like there are very interesting, warlike connotations to this, especially now considering the red entrance and potential allusions to the Red Horse of war. A figure who, wildly swinging a great sword, could be seen as a violent bringer of change, like Kali, like Malakai...
It was his newest mask though that I fell in love with and made my mind go crazy.
It's definitely difficult for me to see the exact coloring of the inlay in this mask, but to me personally with the current use of gold and vaguely gold-like coloring, it heavily reminded me of the art of kintsugi, a very beautiful Japanese practice of repairing broken pieces with a mixed gold. The philosophy behind it being that it brought a sort of respect and reverence to our past, our hardships that we faced, our flaws, and our experiences that create our being and brought us to where we are now. To not hide them, but to embrace them.
It's interesting that, after the burning, "death", and resurrection of the house, that Malakai would return with a fractured and now healed mask, a respect to the hardships that the House has faced, a reverence to carry those hardships that had faced in his own face.
If this is a reference to kintsugi, then it's fun to explore even further into Japanese imagery in relation to Malakai and what he has been presenting, especially again the idea of horned demons and gods, of things not entirely evil yet not quite good either.
But again, the potential use of kintsugi and ichor as a philosophical image really brings forth the image of a divinity and change... Of praise and beauty in the violence, but this time quiet, from within, within the very walls of the House, as opposed to a blessing on his enemies... And like the fires of the Tower card, burned and buried, dust to dust, and returned from the ashes.
I'm going to cut myself off now before I go off any any more tangents djdj so I'm just going to end this with a film quote that is always in my head; that I now play on loop in relation to Malakai and the House of Black.
I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God. - Caligula, (1979)

Welcome to Chloe Watches Wrestling!
Hey lovelies! I'm Chloe, the wrestling fanatic behind this page. Since 2008, the world of pro wrestling has captured my heart and refused to let go. Not only am I a dedicated fan, but I also married a fellow wrestling enthusiast, and together we've shared our passion for 12 incredible years 🤍
Wrestling isn't just a pastime for me—it's my greatest passion in life. I've tasted the thrill from both sides of the ring—I took a shot at becoming a pro wrestler myself, dedicating six months to training before a collar bone injury set me on a different path. But every bump and bruise was worth the love and respect I have for this incredible sport!
At Chloe Watches Wrestling, I'm all about romanticizing wrestling—seeing it as the unique art form it truly is. This blog is a haven for all things wrestling, where we'll explore the heroes, the villains, the weird, and the wonderful…
As for my favourites, I'm drawn to the unconventional, the darkly charismatic, and the enchantingly different. Mick Foley, the master of multiple personas, holds a special place in my heart. Rhea Ripley, with her fierce intensity, captures my attention in the current wrestling landscape. And Bray Wyatt—the wrestling genius who creates stories in unique worlds that blur the lines between reality and fiction (hoping for a return sooner rather than later!).
Stay tuned for essays, opinions, and insights!
With pins, submissions, and a whole lot of heart,
Chloe xoxo

The ultimate chance for WWE to distance themselves from the old ways by putting all the focus on the performers that the week-to-week crowd cares about and cites as justification for still watching that wretched product tainted by horrible politics and behavior, and of course they're going to fumble it all and keep relying on old men who can't shake their ties to that disgusting monster no matter how hard they try and who are just a rung below him on the narcissist ladder.
Triple H needs to cut it out with the point pictures with talent. Stop making it about you. If you're not even going to make a decent statement to address what's going on, then I don't want to see you at all. Dwayne can be special guest referee tops, but we don't need a full match. Both of them need to say, "Shit has always been fucked here for women. We know that. We're sorry," and then fade back into the shadows.

i was talking to a non-wrestling friend about the cmjf dog collar match and i was about to say your standard "i can't believe people watched this and thought this was heterosexual behaviour" (and by that i mean like... some people did see nothing sexual or erotic about it) but then i remembered the mkultra dog collar match and realised that nobody watched that and didn't think it was very sensual/erotic and there we have society's hypocrisy...
two women can obviously be violent and intimate with each other and people are willing to accept the sensuality of it. but the same rules don't apply to men.

I have been waiting for the day that WWE has the balls to make an intergender match or at least have a guy hit a woman back after a woman has hit a guy so many times now.
I would be so proud if after awhile of Dominik Mysterio subbing to Rhea Ripley, he finally smacks her. Or even just hits her with a kendo stick or a chair, obviously nowhere near his hardest, just gotta pretend really well.
That would be badass. I would respect that.

Oooh What is the dirtiest thought you've ever had about a wrestler?
Ah, so we're gonna go deep diving, anon?
LOL, it's a valid question!
Probably dirtiest thought would be something along the line of something non-consensual or lacking explicit consent at least. That or maybe some intense dob/sub situations. But that kind of goes hand in hand with wrestling, generally lol
Thanks for the ask!

It's going to be even more interesting to see how Fenix is these next three matches... If he continues to try and win each match based on pure skill alone and honor, in a way, despite now both teams using dirty tactics. But if he does choose to make use of the weapons and they still lose the next three, then he has the moral highground; with the laziness from relying on the hammer having been the ingredient in letting Death Triangle's edge get dull, and now they can't win because of that when the playing field is even.
#The Hammah™️#as always im so sorry for my poor grammar djdj#just thinking#potential head cold taking me down a bit lol 🤧#personal text#wrestling thoughts#rey fenix#pac#pentagon jr#poor fenix#he's trying 😭#djdj swerve would be baby fenix finally just snapping and going absolutely feral#to the point pac and penta cant even control him djdj

Another link to this post. Meet the parents style.
So, Danny and Jason have been fake dating for a while now, and ended up marrying each other solely for tax benefits. Also, they got cool ass fucking friendship rings that they just couldn't not wear everywhere and being married is convenient so...
Anywho, so Jason has met Danny's parents but Danny hasn't met Jason's parents. Danny knows that he has some ties with the vigilantee scene due to being a Crime Lord-he still doesn't know what to think of his parents connecting the dots immediately when they only met him once while it took him more than that while living with the guy.
He thinks Jason may have been an ex-vigilantee at some point before turning to crime.
Then Danny gets blinded by rich people aura when he finds out that his bestfriend is the long thought dead child of Bruce Wayne. Frankly, he's insulted.
You mean to tell him that his could've been buying ice cream from that high class place all this time!? He shook (literally he grabbed and shook him) that point into Jason, he doesn't care that Jason never told him he was rich but he could've at least bought some high class ice cream once in a while.
Jason who was busy solidifying his power as a crime lord, avoiding his family and making sure not to leak his identity at all: I'm a literal crime lord, and the only thing you care about is me not buying you ice cream?
Danny: YES!!!!
Jason: Dork.
Right anyways, so Jason takes Danny along to meet Bruce and his fam but did say as soon as he started being uncomfortable they're leaving. The batfam is a bit blindsided by Danny, because they thought Jason was bringing his partner but its good to also get a feel for Danny's personality.
Danny and Jason did what's normal for them when Danny starts getting comfortable around the manor full of things that cost waaay more than his rent. Like half-heartedly insulting each other, being snarky, leaning on each other and other such things.
The batfam start thinking that there's more there than they know of. So they start watching a bit closer and ask a few round about questions that fly over Danny and Jason's heads. They just forget they're married often, unless it's regarding taxes.
All of this sends the wrong message when they walk into the same room and, being nosy, one of the batfam comes up to the door and uh. They hear the bed moving quite a lot.
So.
Meanwhile, Jason is trying to wrestle with Danny because this man does not pick a lane. He'll either be the human octopus (who is cold as hell) Jason has ever seen, he'll try to kick him off the bed in his sleep as if Jason personally offended him in some way, or he'll sleep in some wacky position that interrupts Jason's sleep. The last one is tied to the other two, however.
So, Jason has to frequently wrestle this man into a proper position where they both manage to get some sleep and it wouldn't have been so bad if Danny wasn't a goddamn sleep fighter. He would know, he had to nurse a bruised jaw for a few weeks.
Why do they sleep together? Listen, when you're in an apartment with not a lot of money, you gotta cut costs where you can alright?
#dc x dp#dp x dc#dpxdc#dp x dc crossover#dcxdp#dc x dp crossover#Danny and Jason are platonically married#I'm not gonna put this in the post but I had a random thought of Jack and Maddie meeting Bruce Wayne and they instantly clock him as Batman#It's not even Maddie#Jack just took one look at him and sniffed out something sus until his himbo brain connects the dots to him being Batman#The thing is they managed to find this out with barely any evidence so they think they might be wrong without knowing that they're actually#right#Anyways#Jason is tired of this mfer Danny and how he sleeps#Every time they go to bed Jason walks into their shared bedroom like he's about to wrestle a fucking bear#The batfam think they be fawking but they actually aren't it's just Jason wrestling to get a good night's sleep#Why did I make this?#I have no clue
