Heroes of the Squared Circle Meta: Billionaire Brucie

Apr 29, 2013 22:34

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 ( Read more... )

WOW for the robes and the poses of Ric Flair in those pics. He looks amazing. :)

Doesn't he look like a blond (and less cute) Brucie? :)

Yeah, there is something interesting in his look - the face, his poses. You are right - less cute and blondie Brucie. :D

SOOOOOOOOOOOOB! FLAIR'S RETIREMENT MATCH OUTFIT ;____; so grand and amazing!!!

I love this series! I'm a HUGE wrestling fan and...I love the idea of a DC/PW fusion! I love your details, they aren't tedious for those who are familiar with both canons but you give enough detail that someone who doesn't get wrestling still understands what is going on.

NOBODY can pull off those costumes like Flair. SO AMAZING.

Ahhhhh! *flails* Thank you! It's been a really fascinating challenge to write it so it's comprehensible to non-wrestling fans and yet also fun to wrestling fans. And you're the second person to catch the Lord/Heyman parallel, which makes me SO HAPPY. *dances*

Can't believe I forgot to mention this... Ted Dibiase was also the man who gave the future Rob Van Dam his first exposure on national television, when the 15-year-old Rob Szatkowski was the fan selected from the audience to kiss Dibiase's "sweaty, filthy, stinking foot" after a match for $300.

I did not know that, that's perfect! You've definitely inspired me to make sure to include more audience/wrestler crossover--the Robins are perfect for that! Oh, and to continue from a comment elsewhere, Snapper is going to be a commentator rather than a wrestler, but it totally threw me to see you mention him literally the chapter before he shows up, lol.

My husband wants to dress like Ric Flair. Thank you for helping him pursue his dream.

EVERYONE SHOULD WANT TO DRESS LIKE RIC FLAIR. Life goals!
