This is feeling dangerously like building momentum! (ah, the hubris of hope)
No lock on studentie, I'm afraid - I fell out of contact with him at the same time you did, so your guess is as good as mine unfortunately.
And rolling admissions, you say? Hmm...

This is feeling dangerously like building momentum! (ah, the hubris of hope) Yeah, the hubris of hope in the modern era has been crushing so let's all hide behind tumbleweed and pretend nothing of note happening here so the universe ignores us 😁 "Nobody here but us lazy, sleepy gooses!" No lock on studentie, I'm afraid - I fell out of contact with him at the same time you did, so your guess is as good as mine unfortunately. Yeah, that's too bad. It would have been great to have him, Kim Cross and Jenna Stone, back around. I'd have Figaro shine the Kim signal but the cops would be here before the zipper drops 😬 And rolling admissions, you say? Hmm... So now's a good time to actually discuss Basic Training a little since I'm going to do the same thing for EMERGE. Right now I have two main training programs: UBL's Basic Training and OG-Joshi's EMERGE. Jean: "Don't forget to mention the OG-JoDojo!" I never could forget that lovable mishmash of syllables! Jean: "What a scoop!" In addition to Basic Training program, Barton is allowing other students to congregate into what he's going to call "Boot Camp." It's effectively a "feeder" roster into the Basic Training program. Whenever someone graduates from Basic Training, two wrestlers from Boot Camp will compete for the spot. Boot Camp wrestlers also get to wrestle each other and view the lectures from the Basic Training teachers. So it's like Basic Training but without the individual attention from the trainers and further from the main roster. I'm thinking I'll do the same thing for EMERGE. There will be a feeder roster of rookies that can wrestle each other and witness Haley and Azumi training the EMERGE program wrestlers. So that's where the rolling admission will be into and then people will compete for EMERGE spots. Right now I have a bunch of candidates but they are all basically mine so I am in no rush to throw more of these rookies into the stuck water slide lol. If others want to have wrestlers in the EMERGE program, I can fast-track them into the program and have them cut the line in front of my rookies once an EMERGE candidate graduates to the main roster 😄

Wow, an appearance from a Moreno not named Ruby? It's been a decade! Rose Moreno returns to OG-Joshi! 🌹

I could shed a tear. All the signs of life in OG-Joshi recently make me so happy. I think this is the first Rose promo I've read and I'm already looking forward to seeing her wrestle. I know your old videos are gone but are there any old shows I can read for more context on her?

Gotta agree.
I just feel so much hype building lately, and the feeling is glorious!

Gotta agree. I just feel so much hype building lately, and the feeling is glorious! I could shed a tear. All the signs of life in OG-Joshi recently make me so happy. 😭 I am feeling ALL those feelings and extra since you both are feeling them too!! 😄 I think this is the first Rose promo I've read and I'm already looking forward to seeing her wrestle. I know your old videos are gone but are there any old shows I can read for more context on her? It's funny you say this since I have been reading the origin of Rose for the past hour as I was writing her new promo. The first few RP's involving her, her history with Jean, Ruby, and Marie, can be found here; ogjoshi.proboards.com/thread/557/rose-any-nameHere's another big RP with Rose and Ruby. Basically - Rose threatened to reveal all the secrets about Destiny and Ruby that she had. This threat forced Ruby to behave toward the tail end of OG-Joshi. Ruby held a lot of leverage when she was World Champion (after basically stealing the title from Visper by pretending to be Kat) and threatened to leave OG-Joshi with its World Title. Rose's threats prevented Ruby from doing this and other things. It allowed OG-Joshi to survive with the Title until Visper won it back and then Geese sold it all to Ruby for money to save Holly. Without Rose working with Jean, OG-Joshi would have either bent to Ruby's will or lost its World Title.

I have a loose outline of what Charles will say in response. It's...not complimentary LOL.
But I know JET will get a thumbs up and friendly headbutt from THRASH 😄
Glad you liked it! It was definitely time to get JET speaking more 😎

It takes someone of integrity to come out and say what the truth when they know it will be disliked. And I gotta admit my immediate first reaction was "Yo fuck you JET you don't get to talk about Wonderland like that." But, on further reflection, he's right. Great promo from JET, and JET vs THRASH is gonna be one to watch for. JET vs. Langford will also be one to watch for but just to see Langford get thrown around.

Haha, yeah, up to this point in the league, Wonderland has one full leg in the weird and wild Wonderhole and we don't know where that leg has turned up! But the league isn't over and you never know when he'll reclaim some of his old lethal double-armed beardo ways 😉 I'm glad that JET did come off a little high strung there to the point where people respect him but maybe are a little annoyed at some of the things he says. He's a good guy but he's still new to this "stepping up and rallying the troops" thing so it's perfectly natural if maybe he rubbed people the wrong way here either in message or in tone. His character finding that balance is going to be a work in progress given how quiet he has been up until last year. He considers himself one of the biggest fans of Geese's "threshold" speech which went over like gold to some and yesterday's trash to others. But he also has Barton as his mentor who used an economy of words for most of his promos. JET vs. THRASH is going to be hot. You know THRASH is agreeing to it. He probably challenged JET before even seeing the promo 😁 I just finished writing Charles' response promo which I'll post tomorrow. It's easily my favorite promo that I've ever written for him and I can't wait to post it! I had so much fun writing it 😄

Tarnation! Charles Langford responds to JET's promo...and gets an unexpected guest
As an insight into Charles' character and mannerisms, I always saw him as a mash-up of Colonel Robert Parker from WCW, combined with Colonel Sanders of KFC, combined with modern day impressions of Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain. Specifically, the duplicitous Samuel Clemens from the Star Trek episode set in the West comes to mind. In other words, it's a miracle he didn't get knocked on his ass here 😄

Edit Talk ahead: This is dumb but: Have you ever considered giving Charles Langford bigger hair? My mental images of Colonel Sanders and Samuel Clemens both involve more hair than he has. Also, this promo was pretty much exactly what I expected (well, until the cameras stopped rolling anyway), and was an absolute delight. I really do enjoy 3 of a Kind. and Geese Walker hasn't lost any of his threatening I see. That part was also great in its own way.

Also, I forgot yet another influence on Charles. Ever since I had him become a crooked attorney, this marvelous and learned creature has helped guide me: Edit Talk ahead: This is dumb but: Have you ever considered giving Charles Langford bigger hair? My mental images of Colonel Sanders and Samuel Clemens both involve more hair than he has. That is an excellent idea! 💡 I had not considered that but you make a compelling point!! I will find an updated hair design for him that matches the poofiness and majesty of a man that combines southern gentleman / riverboat gambler / sleazy litigator / professional wrestler 😎 Also, this promo was pretty much exactly what I expected (well, until the cameras stopped rolling anyway), and was an absolute delight. I really do enjoy 3 of a Kind. and Geese Walker hasn't lost any of his threatening I see. That part was also great in its own way. Geese had fun with this one. He knew he wasn't going to have to resort to physicality but was ready to. He wouldn't have even minded roughing Charles and the other two up a little. At this point, it's anyone's guess who will truly snap first against 3 of a Kind.
What I liked best was Geese holding the "higher hand" here and Charles absolutely knowing it but feebly trying to confuse the conversation to avoid publicly acknowledging that he got punked 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! 😄

JET Hamada faces Charles Langford in a Universal Access match! Things have been a bit busier for me over the past week. I'm hoping to complete the OG-Joshi ASFS event within the next week or so and just wanted to throw the Access match up in the meantime 😎
