Re-laced (Part 2)

So back to the stories and we will hone in more on the wrestling training and drills and where we're comin' from when we're putting on movies and living up to interests.

So who was Karl Gotch, Boris Malenko, Chuck Norris, and why are they important? They translate masculinity into entertainment in a way that isn't false. There are dudes, like chicks that like a male impersonating a chick revs up the features that are used to allure mates in nature, like

"Sexual interaction between plants and insects occurs through a variety of strategies, including mutually beneficial pollination and deceptive techniques. Some plants have evolved to manipulate insects into aiding their reproduction, and in other cases, insects act as general pollinators while foraging for food. 

Sexual deception by plants

Some orchids and other plants have evolved to trick specific male insects into attempting to mate with their flowers, a phenomenon called "pseudocopulation". 

• Mimicking a female The critically rare orchid Disa forficaria and certain Australian orchids emit chemicals that perfectly mimic the pheromones of specific female insects, such as longhorn beetles or thynnine wasps.

• Encouraging ejaculation In a bid to maximize pollination, some plants cause such a powerful deceptive reaction that the male beetles ejaculate on the flower, covering the pollen sacs (pollinaria) with ejaculate.

• Combining scents, visuals, and texture Many sexually deceptive plants supplement their chemical lures with visual and tactile cues. The orchid's flower can resemble the size, shape, and even the texture of the female insect. 

Insect-mimicking plants for pest control

Genetically engineered "sexy plants" are being developed as a potential pest control strategy. 

• Attract-and-kill methods These plants are modified to produce sex pheromones that attract male insects to a specific location, where they can be captured or killed. This reduces the male insect population and prevents them from breeding with female pests, leading to more targeted and environmentally friendly pest management. "

There are also chicks being dudes, or posing like Buck Angel, the chick who looks like Rob Halford, she was on Joe Rogan, listening to Joe Rogan is like tagging along with a buddy and hanging out with some interesting people for a road-trip and, like a stationary car rider, I worked in a cubicle, and Joe Rogan and his guest were regular passengers in my day job.

Then there is like Pam Anderson, once was, a female - impersonating a female, thus appearing like Jessica Rabbit. There is a lot of this is pro wrestling and martial arts. It is hard to tell as well unless you get your hands on people.

Chuck Norris didn't fight in the Octagon, but he made The Octagon before it was a nickname in MMA. Bruce Lee is considered the fore-runner of MMA because "he suggested" mixing arts and wearing special gloves.

Of course, Bruce learned from someone and thus got his ass-kicked in the dojo like all martial artists. Yes, professional wrestler and stuntman Gene LeBell did "scoop up" Bruce Lee on the set of The Green Hornet, but it was a playful, instructional incident rather than a serious fight. LeBell, who was larger and a master of grappling, demonstrated the effectiveness of judo by picking up the 130-pound Lee and holding him in a wrestling hold, which left Lee initially furious but ultimately led him to learn grappling techniques from LeBell.

Chuck Norris, in my opinion, is the best martial artist, because though Bruce feels more romantic because of his appearance and history, but the mystery of his demise is the asterisks for me, since Carlos Norris of Ryan, Oklahoma was able to pursue Jiu Jitsu and, though Bruce made martial arts look fresh, Jiu Jitsu via the Gracie family and the UFC, have effectively made more effective martial artist than people watching Bruce Lee movies and doing TKD in a strip mall.

The demonstration of UFC has, in most circles, dispelled most myths or delusions regarding the efficacy of some martial arts over others.

The Great Malenko, not of the Dark Carnival fame as the 4th Joker's Card Milenko the Necromancer, but another source of the torch-fire we picked up from Al, Boris Malenko wrestled Antonio Inoki, who was a training partner of Karl Gotch, the man behind the German Suplex, and co-godfather of Japanese MMA, Antonio Inoki once took on Muhammad Ali in a Boxer versus Wrestler fight and though it ended in a draw, Ali's legs were badly damaged from the kicks from Inoki. In more cooperative matches, like movies, the drama can be greater and the damage minimized, this is how pro wrestling went from long-grinding bouts to time-limit based exhibitions and then maintaining a balance between bout and exhibitions and entertainment with a time-limit.

Side bar: One reason I think Quaker Churches are fresh is because, though not having a routine is their routine, they tend to not anticipate the service being boiled down to a time-limit, and in some more Amish styled groups of expression and gathering they run the show every other Sunday, which to me seems like it would prevent burnout and monotony at church.

Like if you could have exchange programs with other churches. There is a dude named Matt Whitman who goes around and sees what other churches are doing and how they do it. Like if someone was a Kodokan Judoka, a YMCA Judoka, or an MMA fighter, they are learning a form of The Gentle Way. Based on location or who's feeling ya, your expression and traditions may shape a religion around the way.

Sometimes when we are making films, we "Trust the Process" and adapt to the catch. If we go out and shoot and say the audio dropped, that isn't a total loss and we can make a bitchin' montage or flashback out of it and it may improve the film in a way we didn't original intend for. The same when actors drop out, like the say, CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Kurt Russell, Rob Redford, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, these were masculine dudes on screen and they weren't forcing you to feel like husk of a man living vicariously but they were physically capable of performing the deeds on-screen.

The Rock and Arnold look impressive but what they are also doing is being Jessica Rabbit for men. Sleeve rippin' biceps wilt when swinging a sword or trying to box if you aren't used to swing an axe or a hindu gada like people who train with Karl Gotch. This is an indian club. Often seen in pictures with Hanuman the Monkey god in Hinduism.

For the sake of transparency I think Hanuman is either the spirit or addiction some feel for working out and training and not a sky-daddy or some sort of cloud god. If you are looking for what I mean by IT, I'd say IT is the WORD or CODE in the GAME all around us. That CODE manifests. Spinoza's God. Like Einstein says, " Albert Einstein stated in a 1929 telegram, "I believe in Spinoza's God, who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings".

You may have seen Mark Twain's depiction of an Angel too, and also the STUFF in Prince of Darkness.

Keep in mind, Lethal Weapon, the greatest action Christmas Movie, per the Die Hard argument, while I am at it:

Lethal Weapon, via the fight scene between Gary Busey and Mel Gibson, Dick Donnor brought Jiu Jitsu to the mainstream before the UFC debuted, 6 years later, in 1993.

Speaking of debuting, Rex had been wrestling on the Polk County scene for a while, mostly being booked in Battle Royals and getting ring time with Al, Bugsy McGraw, and Hector Guerrero.

During this time, The Aces met a cat named Danny Darkside. He was a local piercer and was trained to wrestling in New York by Jason Knight and Mikey Whipwreck. To be fair we met him through a girl we were dating, and we met at a house-party discussing RVD and Sabu. During the house-party, Rex upon being told the Danny wrestled, hoisted him up on his shoulders in a fire-mans carry. A week later they brought Danny to the ring to work out and during this time Mick learned he would be performing his signature move.

Al determined that Rex should probably go over and what would work best is if Mick worked opposite Rex so that Rex could work specifically with Mick, since they usually ran their drills together during wrestling training each week. I was most familiar with taking Mick's flatliner, aka, The Flizzash-Point.

That night was last major main floor show for the FWF so the timing couldn't have been better for us to get this moment in at the Auburndale Arena, this would be the last pro wrestling match for a little while so this is how that went.

Danny Darkside came to the ring accompanied by Mick Corvintino to take on Mike Malvado accompanied by a female named Mystique, like the X-Man.

Mike came to the ring to, I think, a Soulfly song, and Mick and Lenny came out to a Twiztid track or possibly a Coal Chamber track.

During the match our home boys showed up and got a few photos. We had the crowd rocking, Dan did a huge over the top somersault on to us at ringside, we did a ref bump, Mystique gave Mick a shot with a kendo-stick after Mick had given me his signature move in a pro wrestling ring.

Our homeboys there cheering us on would echo years later when Steve packed up the AMC boys and drove them to Lakeland Arena to watch me wrestling in 2025. The same arena I met Chris Benoit and the 4 Horsemen in and saw Sting live and in person, something Mick and I would do several times courtesy of TNA shows in the 2000s.

One event of which we got banned for 1 year but only after they escorted us through the backstage area and we saw Vince Russo, Dixie Carter, Bruce Pritchard, Ken Kennedy Anderson, Christie Hemme, Jeff Jarrett, Eric Young, we also met security, who asked what our plan was if Jeff Jarrett decided to come over the rail because of our antics, to which I honestly hoped he would because, despite that being a thuggish act, it would be the way tens of wrestlers have debuted in the past.

If he came over the rail the second his hands hit the rail and his knee edges the barrier, I planned to pull him to the ground for some randori. Unironically enough, a few years before that Danny Darkside and I got mistaken for Insane Clown Posses and immediately were swarmed at a TNA taping at Universal. A tripped that started with my accusing a dude of being a chick when Danny arrived.

He said "what up"

I said "I've just been here chilling with her all day talking wrestling."

To which the conversation was derailed with a shrill, "I'm a guy." (said with zero base in the voice and in a effeminate voice)

If you think I am bullshiddin' watch Jeff Hardy's TNA matches in the spring of 2005 and the kid pops up on screen dressed as Jeff. Seems to remind me of the Mimicry described early in the blog: Bees do not try to mate with plants. They feed off the "nectar" that they produce. The large "hairs on their legs" pick up pollen incidentally. This is a Billy Madison moment...

Strangely enough we were mistaken for Violent J and Shaggy walking around Universal Studios and being harassed by the park for having our faces painted...painted by park employees at Island of Adventure earlier in the day.

Like ICP being wrestlers and musicians and actors, Mick has been able to get his pull in three fields that most only are able to do now that everything is open and more accessible now.
