hey loyal followers!!! just wanted to introduce an ~exclusive~ deal for my money mark subscribers who pay 5 dollars a month. along with occasional download links or match packs, i’ve decided to offer a little perk that also serves as an additional writing prompt for myself, since my brain is so regrettably freelance-pilled that i often fail to blog regularly if i do not have some form of “Assignment” or illusion thereof.
so, if you are a paying subscriber to this newsletter, it is now your god-given right to give me a wrestling match to watch, in exchange for a review of the tape. something you want my take on, something you want to force me to watch, the reasoning is pretty much yours. if you send me a little sentence or two about why you chose the particular match, i’ll be sure to shout you out and include it. alternatively, since i know some people who follow this newsletter are just fans of me and not so much of wrestling, you can request a film or album or some other media object within reason. i am pretty much open to anything, though i also maintain the right to refuse to write about anything at my discretion. so, like, don’t make me write about Shlak matches or some bullshit. since your subscription is ostensibly recurring, this offer is also recurring; like, maybe not all the time, but anytime something catches your attention that you’d like my take on, shoot me a message, leave a reply, whatever your preferred communication is, and i’ll add it to the queue.
so far we’ve got a few requests that i’ll be working my way through in the near future:
roddy piper vs. greg valentine (dog collar match (NWA/JCP starrcade, 1983)
terry funk vs. atsushi onita (exploding ring match) (FMW, 1993)
1-2-3 Kid & marty jannetty vs. the quebecers (WWF monday night raw, 1994)
goldberg vs. raven (WCW monday nitro, 1998)
team CZW vs team ROH (ROH death before dishonor IV, 2006)
jushin liger vs. tyler breeze (WWE next takeover, 2015)
and as a thanks for your loyalty and support, here’s a downloadable pack of 10 of my favorite matches from 10 different promotions, from mid-atlantic steel cages to lucha de apuestas matches to exploding rings to aew dark. paying subscribers only, sorry :)
