Sorry for the double post but BIG SEASONING is killing me. We really need a Control Your Narrative thread so all the dumb funny poo poo these guys pull in March doesn't bury the rest of the indies discussion

Burying all the trauma from past nights

Are they declaring new spices/seasonings or are they just going to give me salt and pepper in its purest form which is...?

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
What is a #Project?

A “Project” is the proverbial aspiring “sports-entertainment” performer seeking “opportunity” to live their “dream.”
In the world of the “corporate wrestling brands” you are referred to as an “extra.” You are paid a meager penance to stand awkwardly in ill fitting dress clothes.

Scenario 1: you are led blindly through the “dark” into a match that you are not prepared for. You are sacrificed for the “corporate good.” You have a minor accolade that you humble brag about on social media. Quickly forgotten validation. You patiently wait 4-8 months for your next “opportunity.”

Scenario 2: you are put into outfit that says “SECURITY” or “POLICE.” Your authority is not respected and you, again, are sacrificed for the “corporate good.” You patiently wait 4-8 months for your next “opportunity.”

Scenario 3: You are fed adequately via “catering.” Nobody recognizes you exist. You patiently wait 4-8 months for your next “opportunity.”

Why become a #Project?

A #Project understands this circle is endless and contrived. Seeks something more. Deeper purpose.

Through #ControlYourNarrative they can “become who they are supposed to be.”

What does a #Project do?

A #Project is prepared to forgo their independent “sports-entertainment” persona and destroy this past through the trial and tribulation of The Narrative.

A #Project assumes their “Project Number” as their new handle. This number is their choice and must never be forgotten.

A #Project fills out their #ProjectNarrative Initiation Form. Signs this as both an NDA and waiver of liability.

A #Project attends a respective #ProjectNarrative Seminar where they will:

-Perform their Sports-Entertainment Persona.
-Undergo Psycho Analyzation by members of The Narrative.
-Brain Dump their truth. Their authentic selves.
-Accept criticism, critiques, and (verbal) castration.
-and finally, FIGHT.

Upon completion of the #ProjectNarrative seminar, the #Project has access and opportunity within #ControlYourNarrative.
Their number will be called to assist on ‘Fight Night’ set-up, promotional assistance, sponsor related sucking up activities, nefarious narrative business, while most importantly become eligible for prime position to fight in #ControlYourNarrative sanctioned events, and character developing segments on #ControlYourNarrative televised features.

Favoritism and Politics WILL BE PLAYED.

How to become a #Project?

Purchase your #ProjectPackage

This includes:

#Project sanctioned attire (1 Branded Black Hood. 1 Branded Black T-Shirt)

#ProjectNarrative Tenants (the hand written ec3 manifesto on 10 Foundations of Professional Wrestling)

Your #ProjectNarrative Initiation Form

Entry into your #ProjectNarrative Seminar (hosted by ec3 and members of #CYN)

The first step into the next phase of your life.

Eligible only to TRAINED SPORTS-ENTERTAINERS. (If you are not, your money will not be refunded and #CYN has rights to refuse anyone and everyone.)

(If you feel this is a grift, you have not been in the professional wrestling industry long enough.)

We here at #ControlYourNarrative look forward to taking those who choose this bold endeavor into our fold.

You are taking back #Control

You are prepared to fight for your #Freedom.

Through #CYN you will find #Purpose.

Stop contaminating your food with unpronounceable chemistry experiments like "cumin" (sounds like 'cum', maybe?) and "oh-reg-ano"! Are you even eating if you're not rolling a chicken breast in creatine?

Is there a gimmick for Struggles or what? Because the last ICW show he sounded like he just got wasted and then started talking about random poo poo. Like is that his gimmick? Because if it is I will admit that I just don't like it and I find it detracts from the matches.

he was drunk and freaked out a fan was trying to fight him. That’s why Shlak set up his merch table right behind commentary.

The proper struggles experience is Struggles being weirded the gently caress out by the violence and the people cheering it on while Ron sets the stage with some colorful witticisms until Struggles yells LETS FUCKIN GO because this is all there truly is to life. It’s the prime truths of the human existence laid uncomfortably bare.

They are doing Dickinson-Suzuki at Bloodsport.

Speedball-Suzuki would be a good project for somewhere else, it makes too much sense in the surface for a Spring Break match.

Yeah especially for the late night show, which is supposed to be a insane clusterfuck by design. Effy vs Suzuki makes perfect sense in that context. Is Suzuki on part 1 or only part 2?

Eddie has had to cancel two shows at DEFY in Seattle already, lol if it happens again

He made it to Portland though at least!

The schedule DEFY has set for this year is insane, and they need more shows in Portland. driving to Seattle and back home immediately after sucks so bad.

The armory they use in Portland is awful but welp.
