Hello there, fans of the Revolution! Ignis here, your Firebird, your Luchadork in person. I apologize for doing this via text rather than in front of a camera, but I have a lot I want to say, and I want to make sure what needs to be said is said. No snafus, no blabbing about nonsense. So let’s do this.
I know a lot of people are excited about things, especially with the big Chamber match coming up. I have a qualifier into that match next week, and I’ll get onto that in a little bit, but for now I wanted to address a narrative I have been hearing hither and thither, on social media and even amongst people in my inner circle. The idea that how I go about business is somehow “weird” or “wrong” or “lame”, People seem to have an issue that I don’t get into these bickering arguments on social media. That’s I don’t do “fire promos” inflicting massive burns on my opponents. All of this is weird, lame. I heard some fan say the other day I’m never going to “get over” with my nice, jokey, dorky “persona”.
First of all, I don’t have a “persona”. I say what I think, but I don’t posture and act up for anyone. It seems to me that if I wanna “get over” in some people’s minds, I should do what everyone else does. Talk a load of crap, posture and bang on and on about how great I am. O-kay. Because the best way to stand out is doing what everyone else does... right? No. I do not aspire to be a “badass”, I find social media bickering is more the territory of twelve year old children than professional athletes. Does it drum up interest, make money? Maybe. The kids probably love it, ‘cause they see their favourite wrestlers being childish and petty like their own social media interactions, and it makes them feel “cool”. I am not cool. I will never be cool. But I will be true to myself. I will be me, and in a landscape of posers, posturers, bickerers and fakes, that’s got to be worth something, right?
UPRISING has its share of badasses and share of posers. And you know what? They bore the ever-loving piddle out of me. You’re all interchangeable, dull and full of nonsense. I will always respect a Luther Thunder or a Samantha Tolson (two champions by the way), who carry themselves with respect and an air of public decency than a bunch of spoilt “badasses” acting like children who want the attention of mommy.
So in terms of “marketing” this is how I am going forward. Call me the Luchadork. Am I an awkward doofus? Sure. Will I kick the crap out of you and make you scream in pain as you tap the mat? ABSOLUTELY. I stand before you as the alternative to your regularly scheduled babies crying, a breeze that blows away the stench of shite from the potshots and incessant one-up-manship. You like all that garbage? Good for you. But if you’re someone who finds it as tedious and irritating as I do, fear not. You’re in good company with the Luchadork. So after today, I won’t be continuing talking all “SRS” like I am here. Let’s make wrestling FUN!
Oh and JC? You came at me with an awfully generic, passive aggressive threat. Naturally I came back with some fun, a little joke, but no, you kept super “SRS”, your little fans and colleagues liking and retweeting. “Do some research”. Don’t patronize me. But hey, you do your “SRS” big guy thing. I’ll just be over here, being a dork. The Luchadork. See you in the ring, grumpus!
