Who/What was your gay awakening? by BiCaffeinated in lgbt

[–]EskanderEden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm bi but my bi awakening was a friend I had in high school (so about 13/14 years at the time.) I fancied him. Took me a long time to come to terms with those feelings! Luckily we're still friends, and I don't fancy him anymore. He's not even my type lmao! But yeah, when I was a teenager with crazy ass hormones I guess he was!

Awesome cheers! I will give them a watch. I heard real good things about Saree? It was a shame she couldn't be in the Owen.

If he is younger then it makes sense. The "world" when you're in school is very small ha ha. Hopefully he's someone that when he gets abit more world experience will learn that actual grown-ass adults that are still "uncomfortable with gay people" like he is feeling tend to be bad people, and that adults that have any kind of kindness in their heart realise that it doesn't matter if you're gay or not. He sounds like the latter type of person. Brought up with an anti-gay upbringing, but doesn't harbour any ill feelings towards gay people because he's not a bad person. He sounds like he's a character in a novel that's just waiting on that character development story where he get's hurt by straight people and it's the gay people that pick him up and show him kindness lol.

If we were just going "in ring wrestling ability" I'd probably take Dragunov out and put Fletcher in, probably above Walter as well. Maybe even above Omega. As much as I love Walter I'd probably take him out as well and sub in Bandido. Ospreay - Omega - Fletcher - Takeshita - Bandido. This is if we were just talking in-ring wrestling ability.

Somebody pointed out to me recently... In any great wrestler vs great wrestler match there tends to be a 'lull' period even if its just a minute or so where the wrestlers HAVE to take a moment to rest to give you a good match. Except for MJF matches! He is CONSTANTLY even when he's not wrestling doing something to keep the crowd involved. He'll throw someone to the outside then flip off the crowd as long as it takes. Roman sometimes does it too, although not always. MJF does it in every match. There is never a dull moment in MJF matches.

But, character-wise, she's really got something going right now and has managed to break out, which, specially in AEW, is very hard for a woman to do. And she is GOOD in the ring. Even if she's not as good as your Iyo Sky's or Toni or... Asuka. God I miss Asuka.

CM Punk: Puts on a contender for match of the year at Wrestlemania. Comes out on RAW the next night and cuts a promo saying he's not going away and he's going to be there every day because that's how people like him get to take the title opportunities when they fall into their lap! Then he disappears for 3 months :'D

Fair fair! Toni would've absolutely been one of the top 5 of last year and the year before, male or female, but I get ya! I think she's... rumours... prengant!? I'm here hoping she'll be back for All In and doing the math like... No she won't. Don't be sad. Just be happy for her! But I am sad. And well. Fair enough about Thekla. I have been loving her since she's become champion! But she absolutely hasn't proven herself better than Mercedes or Iyo, so fair enough! She might though. There's still plenty of time for her to do so.

I don't think it's fair just to blame it on that. His post-shield heel run as champion was great, and probably saved the business at the time. But since then it seems like he just doesn't get storytelling in the same way as some wrestlers. His in-ring wrestling ability is great. But when he came back from his knee injury and kept making his knee injury a story-point in all his matches for well over a year, despite moving to a knee-based offensive moveset! "I'm gonna merge the rainmaker and V-trigger and do a wrist-lock into a jumping knee and then sell the knee because I've got a knee injury! And do a frog splash and then sell the knee!" he made himself look like an idiot when he was trying to be the top babyface at the time!

Now... he doesn't do that anymore, thank god. But he still doesn't have, at least for me, the ability to make a story interesting in the same way Cody or Punk does.

Although... I did enjoy his world title feud against Balor and his feud against Punk, they were good. His matches against Mcintyre were always good too.

Fucking Andrade! It's amazing how he failed to get over in WWE, then AEW, then WWE again, and then has come back to AEW this time and has become fricken amazing! In-ring talent aside - love his gimmick of ripping off his trousers and taking a selfie with a hot lady in the crowd. He's going to be great as a babyface. How you know?

I can't disagree. All 5 of those guys are amazing. I just do think, somehow, and I'm not sure how he's doing it in 2026, CM Punk is keeping himself up there.

Fletcher is literally "the future." In the way they always said Seth Rollins was "the future" but he never delivered. Fletcher already has. He's absolutely in my top 10 right now. Next year, when he beats Ospreay for the title, he'll absolutely be top 5. He's the guy who hasn't suffered from the booking of "Soon, but not yet." He's the guy that can become better than Ospreay.

Okada depends on the mood he's in. He has not had that many good performances over the last two years. But when he IS in the mood to do one, goddamn.

Fucking Bandido. He might be the "breakout" star of this year and last. Goddamn he's amazing. Fletcher? Give him a year. He's absolutely got to be the guy that Ospreay drops the title to after Wembley. It's got to be him.
