Heroes of the Squared Circle Meta: Billionaire Brucie

[mithen]

While I'm polishing up the next couple of chapters of Heroes of the Squared Circle, I thought I might start posting a little meta now and then about the series: inspiration for some of the character designs, visual references for some of the moves and matches, etc. Pro wrestling is a crazy, crazy world with a lot of bizarre inside lingo, and I have

omg I had forgotten about DiBiase and the kid with the basketball *cackles*. I didn't know about Damian until you because I'm not current, but I think the 'Elbow of Disdain' might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Damien Sandow is pure love for me. I love an intellectual heel who can largely pull off the vocabulary (you can always tell when someone's just mouthing words they don't understand). And DiBiase is great, the basketball moment just made me giggle, that poor kid.

Uh, those costumes are... *boggles*

Thank you for posting these, it's helped me get a better feel for your story! I'm looking forward to more on the other characters! :)

*giggles desperately* Bruce rocks those capes so much!

I'm looking forward to posting some videos of specific moves, too--like the hurricanrana, whoo! :D The next post with be Country Clark Kent's and I'll probably show some of the moves then as well. :)

Dude, those pictures are pretty much exactly what I was picturing for Brucie. :D Damien's speech definitely reminded me of Brucie, so you captured him quite well. *bounces* I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Wham, wham, wham!

Yay, I'm so glad Brucie is coming across! *grin* His towering charisma demands outlet!

Oh, my God, I'm dying! My eyes are bleeding! Bleeding, I tell you!

BILLIONAIRE BRUCIE'S MAGNIFICENCE CANNOT BE CONTAINED! God, I love those robes so much. *grin*

Oh, I love this kind of story related meta!

My, I haven't watched wrestling in years, but I remember Ted DiBiase. *chuckles* Damien Sandow seems very interesting.

I really need to catch up with the story soon. :D

I wavered on doing this kind of meta a bit, but people were asking me questions and seemed interested, so what the heck! There's a whole crazy homoerotic feather-trimmed world out there! *grin*

DiBiase was so awesome, I love his laugh so much. MUAHAHAH.

I remember years ago when they still did big wrestling broadcast over here and I was watching in fascination. It always had these homoerotic connotations I recognized even back then. :P
