UPDATE: Ten years ago today, I uploaded my first video.

Back then, I was just trying to emulate creators like BDWJ. I didn’t see this as something long-term I just wanted to make something I enjoyed watching.. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the process.
Not just the moves.
Not just the edits.
But the structure.
The psychology.
The mechanics behind it all
A lot has changed in ten years including how I see wrestling, how I break down a moveset, and how I want these videos to feel and what I want you viewers to think about after you've watched them .
The number of people doing this has grown so I must grow too

To everyone who’s supported this channel whether you were there for that very first upload, joined somewhere in the middle, or just subscribed recently

Thank you.

This journey isn’t over. It’s evolving.

P.S The Shelton Benjamin video is over 30 mins long I'm trying to cut that down drastically that is the hold up lol

UPDATE: The Shelton Benjamin video is almost done
Work’s been a bit busier than usual, but the real reason this video’s taken longer is simple:

while editing, I realised a straight “Top X Moves” list wasn’t doing Shelton justice.

I kept finding connections between moves how he uses the same tools in different situations and it pushed me to rethink the structure of the video entirely. Shelton doesn’t see moves in isolation; he sees context. One move can solve different problems depending on when and how it’s used.

So this isn’t going to be a numbered “top moves” countdown.
It’s a breakdown of Shelton Benjamin’s overall style the range of moves he’s used across different stages of his career, and more importantly, how and why he uses them.

Appreciate the patience. This one’s going to hit different.

UPDATE: HAPPY NEW YEAR! sorry about the delay to the Shelton Benjamin video two thing happened I realised I needed to recapture a lot more clips than I initially thought to remake the video and secondly I found some new clips to add. But I can say for sure at least for this year I have sorted out my access to the Network now it's wasnt as straight forward I thought but I sorted it in the end.

UPDATE: I'm already half way through my Shelton Benjamin video but seem to have lost the footage I had previously from certain matches in 2020-2022 that I used in the previous video .So I need to recollect those and a few other new clips I found, that I'm currently using old footage as placeholders to complete the video.WWE Network access is a bit more tricky. Like I have figured it out temporarily. But I'm also trying to find a long term solution for as long as possible .As WWE is looking to close the Network worldwide and move their content to Netflix. at the moment they still have licensing deals in Italy , Germany , Japan and South Korea. So far only the German deal is set to end by middle of 2026. So trying to organise myself around that.
Oh make suggestions for people you want see videos for in future. I see what works

UPDATE Seeing as there's been a big gap between videos I'm trying to focus on what can be done quickest and at this moment that will be updated Shelton Benjamin and Jade Cargill videos. One or both of these videos should be done by the end of the month. then I will deep dive into Cody and Seth now that I know how I will get matches from pre 2020 WWE as maybe any of your recent suggestion I think will work well.

Speaking of the next batch of updated move compilations (Jade Cargill & Shelton Benjamin).

HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while I left doing my research on the video I mentioned in the last post a little too late now that the WWE network is gone it will be harder . Between celebrating the holidays and my birthday earlier this week . I'm having to hold off renewing my VPN and getting access to peacock .while I waiting to see how much of the WWE's library transfers over to Netflix . . Given that the WWE Vault channel is now going to be the hidden gems section of their content . meaning only so much of old matches will be easy to find but I'll try my best

UPDATE: The past 9 months of this year 2024 have been hell for me and only a few things like family and friends and pro wrestling have helped me get through it. I was out of work while seemingly employed for 9 months my company lost a contract they had held for 20 years their oldest and it accounted for my working hours . It took a serious toll on my mental health and worth. So the last thing I felt like doing was slaving away behind a pc watching matches for move clips hence why I havent uploaded in so long . But at long last I found a job last month that provides a better work-life balance at least .Plus for only the second Christmas in 8 years I wont work Christmas day and moving forward I can enjoy the day with my family .As I did last year only this time with my job intact lol.

That being said I do have an Updated Karrion Kross video 90% complete it's only missing clips from his draft to Raw that are missing and to be fair I had already collected a few of those moves for his house show matches he had before being drafted he had used them then and wrestled Xavier Woods back then too! Oh the irony Seth Rollins is back and I'm now ready to start working on a video for him but I will research Cody first. I may upload the Kross video while research Cody , then Seth Rollins or Damian Priest if I can get Damian done quicker which is likely to be the case I've done pre research on Damian and his ROH stuff is close to his NXT stuff so he's a quicker study than Seth if you add the Tyler black stuff . Xavier Woods is on the docket , Swerve Strickland ,and updated Charlotte and Bianca Belair , and Asuka in the weeks and months to come

UPDATE:I was working on on Drew sorting out footage when the bloodline gained a new member (now two)so I decided I would chance it with more indy clips and CMLL clips to see I can get the video up updated of course the video is complete. I just want to wait to see what he does VS Bobby Lashley. I'm now working on Drew which I wait for Friday's match

UPDATE: The first 3 months of 2024 have been challenging for me with issues at work. so making videos hasn't felt fun or rewarding while I worried how I was going to pay bills. but others around the world are feeling it too . So as I begin to see light at the end of the tunnel I've been able to finish off videos like Waller and Triple H that are mostly done. I will at least wait till after mania to make Rollins and Cody videos. Same with Bianca Belair. I may have a Drew McIntyre video before mania I'm mostly confident he's not going to do anything I haven't collected recently because he's wrestled Rollins a lot between 2018-2024 and so they have a lot to pull from. So I may chance it with Drew working on Charlotte Flair as well and researching a few others

UPDATE :I know its a while a lot, I'm in sort of a limbo at my place of work so I 've taken a break but after Christmas I'll finish up my Waller video and I may well do the Creed Brothers ,wasn't sure they'd get called up before the new year but seeing as they have been I'll probably do them next . then move from there maybe look at doing Ospreay maybe redo Jay White etc .But until then HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
