Summary:

Two years in the life of a certain online message board.

Set in the timeline of my name in your bones. Prequel to bandera.

Notes:

WRESTLING AU!

this is a "social media" style of fic but the social media isn't twitter (which would be cool but i wouldn't be able to pull it off). instead, i set it in a nebulously anachronical "forum"/"message board" vaguely inspired by reddit (where most wrestling discourse takes place irl) and anonymous message boards like 2ch (where the borderline illegal gossip can usually be found) as well as forums i navigated as a teen. most of the characters are entirely made up. shane doesn't even show up as a character in this fic at all. ilya only shows up at the bonus story (chapter 2). HOWEVER you can imagine some of the forum users as whoever you see fit since only 3 of them have their offline identities confirmed. maybe shane was JamonSuplex all along.

i still haven't read the books so none of the book-only boys are here. i think. if you find them let me know.

i fought with my life to not need to use any pictures or make up any dates in this fic, which is why it looks so bare.

Chapter 1: keep up!

[RUMOR] Rozanov leaving C2W for NOW?

agallonofquerosene

Did we get any updates on this? C2W announced he's going on an excursion, so is he not leaving anymore?

JamonSuplex

Probably not.

dubyadubyaz

would it be too crazy for C2W to release him mid-excursion? keep in mind it's C2W we’re talking about here.

joshistence

Not even C2W would stoop so low. Unfortunately. I want this stinker GONE

Illusionstreet510

Question is: Where is this guy going? No demand for him anywhere. Both excursion and contract wise.

cuckoo_

The Motherland will take him back.

Illusionstreet510

Not well liked there either from what I've heard. Don't remember the source though.

mmmpinkyes

you might be thinking of the interview he did for C2Day right after debuting where he said he came to north america by himself without his family’s approval. how this turned into “russia wants him dead and he's not allowed to step foot within its borders” is a mystery to me.

heyitskaycee

people will use LITERALLY ANYTHING as pretext to hate on big roz even made up stuff

JamonSuplex

Rozanov did have an incident in Russia before moving overseas, according to a former C2W trainee. I don't think most russian fans know about it (and how that would even affect his reception there) since it's very “through the grapevine” stuff, but it's been discussed here extensively thanks to the work of a certain “reliable source”.

cuckoo_

What kind of incident?

whippyluv

The original thread where this rumor was discussed is still up but people should keep in mind these things shouldn't be spread around as there's no confirmation of the identity of the source.

JamonSuplex

The source was correctly identified as a former C2W trainee from Rozanov’s (& Shane Hollander’s, et al) class. However, the information came from a forum user who claimed to have talked to this former trainee, and that itself (or the contents of the talk) might be false or exaggerated.

whippyluv

That's what I said.

Illusionstreet510

He still sucks =P

 

[EGLL] Rozanov’s debut match

greggory_3_gs

Rozanov debuted for EGLL this Monday in a tríos against Karma, Hijo de Intergalactico, and Pollo Man. His teammates were Sangre Maligno and Tommy Stomper. You can watch the match here.

cruellastchime

Is that guy dressed as a rubber chicken?! LOL

joshistence

Last year this guy was the dominating C2W champion, now he's in the second match in a dingy arena in Guadalajara. This just makes C2W look bad tbh

dubyadubyaz

C2W doesn't need his help to look bad.

heyitskaycee

this is in CDMX, not guadalajara + dingy arena is sold out while C2W has been hiding empty seats from their cameras with lighting for almost two years now. pipe down.

cuckoo_

Wtf is “CDMX”?

cruellastchime

Google, motherfucker. Do you use it?

gregory_3_gs

Match was mid but mostly because Tommy Stomper sucks and Karma is an old man with no cartilage in his knees anymore. Rozanov was good. Had something interesting going on with HDI. Pollo Man was great as always.
I have a good feeling about Rozanov in Mexico. People get caught up in wishing his character was different and forget he's a really solid worker. He just needs a little edge to round his gimmick up and EGLL can give him that if he links up with the right people.

whereverthewindblows

How can people in here watch a 15min long “match” where half of it is just walking around the ring and the other half is just the crowd making clucking sounds along the guy with a fake chicken head on? Genuine question.

greggory_3_gs

Go back to your NOW PPVs and leave EGLL to the grownups. ;)

heyitskaycee

“fake chicken head” as opposed to what???? a real chicken head??????

 

[C2W] Shane Hollander goes V4 with the International HW + Scott Hunter challenges.

JamonSuplex

Shane Hollander defeats Vincent Lemaire to retain the International Heavyweight Championship in the Northern Wars arena tour final. Hollander used the Eureka (jumping double knee) to pin Lemaire at 23’14”.

After the match, Scott Hunter came to the ring in a suit to announce his return from injury and challenge for the belt. Hollander accepted, and the two shook hands.

 

creaseman

Welp, party is over. It was good while it lasted.

whippyluv

I wouldn't count Hollander out just yet, Hunter was out for a long while so they might use an angle of him being rusty to give Hollander his V5. If they're really gonna build him up as the company's top babyface it's way too soon for him to lose that belt.

cuckoo_

I’m out of the loop, what was Hunter’s injury again?

whippyluv

Torn meniscus.

cuckoo_

Ouch. Thanks

kippiee_g

Bro scott looked SOOOOO hot in that suit :L almost passed out during his entrance LOL (i was sitting near the walkway)

graveyard46670

?? Gay ass shit

mmmpinkyes

jsyk there are rules are against any form of gender, race, and sexual discrimination in the very first section of our TOS. enjoy your suspension.

kippiee_g

There's all that and also the fact i am indeed gay and proud LOL die mad about it (not you pinky, thank you pinky)

dubyadubyaz

scott should wear that suit to the match ;) it’d shake up holly and give him a better shot. LOLOL

mmmpinkyes

<_< >_> … i ship it.

kippiee_g

That's hot :L

mmmpinkyes

wtf is :L supposed to mean

kippiee_g

Me drooling u_u don't hate

threetofivestar_s

Nobody here talking about Hollander v. Lemaire? I thought that was great.

creaseman

It was a typical Hollander match. Good wrestling but we see it every 15 days.

whippyluv

Read as: “Hollander is so good people are bored with how good he is”.

 

[FREE TALK] Where the hell is Rozanov?

gigapudding

I know he's supposed to be on excursion but it's been months of no news on this guy. His blog is dead too. What's going on?

 

splattatonic

Still in Mexico, no?

greggory_3_gs

Working regularly for EGLL, but usually in their smaller shows, which don't get a lot of press and don't make it to tape. Look for him in the flyers for Monday shows on EGLL’s official site. He's usually in the second or third match.

heyitskaycee

do we have a feel of how he's performing with the crowd there?

greggory_3_gs

Not a primary source on this, but they seem to like him fine. He stands out as a big guy who doesn't do big aerials or anything too flashy. Without a C2W “fan” talking their ears off about how much he sucks ass, people tend to see Rozanov for what he is: a fairly good, perhaps even great, wrestler.

mmmpinkyes

*awesome wrestler with beautiful golden curls and a sexy voice ^^

itskaycee

you said it girl <3

 

[C2W] Shane Hollander V5 over Scott Hunter

JamonSuplex

Shane Hollander defeats Scott Hunter to retain the International Heavyweight Championship in the main event at Summer Showdown. He used the Eureka to pin Hunter at 34’56”.

The Pay-Per-View can be purchased from C2W’s website here.

 

threetofivestar_s

MOTYC. Might be MOTY for me already. Pure heat. Hollander put on a hell of a show.

splattatonic

Real talk!! He was possessed by the spirit of Strong Style XD I wonder wtf Hunter said to him in the locker that had him so mad LOL!

threetofivestar_s

Hunter should know better than to provoke him. Dental care is expensive in the USA. ;)

splattatonic

ROFLMAO

whippyluv

Need Shane to go V10 with this belt, bare minimum.

dubyadubyaz

he makes that lame ass belt look good. that's HIS belt now.

Illusionstreet510

It was only lame bc it was Rozanov’s belt =P the design is fine

dubyadubyaz

disagree >_> the belt itself is ugly as hell. and like i said, shane owns this belt now. he's the champ you picture first when you talk about the intl.
edit: speaking of rozanov, did anyone notice something different about shane’s knee strikes? no? just me? :x

 

[EGLL/C2W] Rozanov is alive.

greggory_3_gs

EGLL released new press photos of Rozanov for the first time in 6 months. You can find them in their official website here, here, and here. Do NOT crosspost these photos. EGLL WILL call upon hellfire and strike the site down.

 

itskaycee

AAAAAAA thank you sm greg <3333

cuckoo_

Damn he looks good with long hair. When did he get the new gear?

greggory_3_gs

Changed it bit by bit over time. First the aviators, then the fur. Last thing he did was ditch the longboys.

kippiee_g

Hot damn <_<’

itskaycee

get on the rozy love train before it leaves you at the station kippie!!!!

mmmpinkyes

somewhere in new york scott hunter just woke up in cold sweat lollll

kippiee_g

LMAO NOOOO scott is forever my #1 u_u

whippyluv

EGLL press photos always look like they're from a crime scene investigation file…

dynamobabe

Love how nobody in this thread noticed he’s wearing a belt LMAO that's the EGLL mixed style tag team championship btw, he won it last monday with Sangre Maligno over Estrella Norteña and Asa Dorada Jr.

greggory_3_gs

Well noted Dynamo. That's the entire reason for the photos.

gigapudding

Is that a midcard belt? Weird to have a title match on a weekday.

greggory_3_gs

“Midcard” is a kind way to put it.

 

[SJPW] NERIMA sidelined, removed from Boreal Invasion card.

AshtonAdams

SJPW wrestler NERIMA has been sidelined under suspicion of spinal injury, sustained during a match against Carlos Villano in Yokohama this past Sunday. If confirmed, the injury is expected to take a long time to heal. He's been taken off the card for Boreal Invasion (joint show with NWW in St. Petersburg, Russia).

Source

 

porkaround

Wish him a speedy recovery. Just glad he isn't dead.

hifidelity

Same here, that was a nasty fall. The fact the spinal injury is just a “suspicion” is a miracle in itself.

divingsenton933

So the card now is Nogami v. CV? Not bad

AshtonAdams

Official site now lists it as Keita Nogami, Maksim v. Carlos Villano, X.

divingsenton933

Thanks man. Good opportunity to keep X secret until the day of the show and generate more buzz. Glad they didn't do away w/ Maksim.

smack1t

maksim may be a nobody here but he's one of NWWs favorite guys. question is, who will CV bring along? hoping for my boy junichi.

dynamobabe

If only there was a russian wrestler currently on excursion who trained under the same maestro as CV in mexico… ;)

smack1t

isn't he banned from stepping foot in russia though?

whippyluv

I hope mods start punishing people who keep bringing up/spreading baseless rumours over and over again a little more severely this year. It's getting ridiculous.

smack1t

????

mmmpinkyes

on it, whip.

smack1t, i’ll give you a warning since you might genuinely not know: this rumor of rozanov being banned from going to russia originates from another rumor that's basically slanderous in nature. it does not come from a credible source and could not be verified as true. every time someone brings it back up, the lie grows in size, so i, as an admin, will be cracking down with more severity on people who refuse to stop, with support from the anti-slander clause in our tos.

smack1t

i apologize, i don't keep up with c2w so i had no idea.

whippyluv

For future reference, the only time Rozanov discussed his life before becoming a C2W trainee with the public was in his debut interview at C2Day, which you can still read here. As you can see, all he says is that he's not in touch with his family and that they didn't approve of him either moving overseas or becoming a wrestler, or both. Everything else people claim to “know” about Rozanov’s life is likely to be false as none of the information contained in the thread that kickstarted this whole thing could be verified. That thread is still up, btw, if you want to read the original claims and how other users refuted them. Go look for it. (This applies to everyone, not just smack1t)

graveyard46670

Thot he was banned for being a f***** Lol

mmmpinkyes

that's your 3rd suspension right there. one more violation and you get a lifetime ban.

 

[C2W] Shane Hollander V6 at All Stars Collision

JamonSuplex.

Shane Hollander defeats Hayden Pike to retain the International Heavyweight Championship in the first semi final of All Stars Collision. He used a shooting star double knee drop to pin Pike at 17’42”.

 

whippyluv

Should've been the main event.

threetofivestar_s

Should’ve gone longer, too. Amazing showing from both of them. Really wanted Pike to win but there's nothing stopping Hollander’s momentum now.

whippyluv

Do we have a name for his new finisher? Or was it just a one-off thing to get one up on Pike as a high flyer.

JamonSuplex

No info so far.

dubyadubyaz

i can't go insane by myself anymore i NEED someone else to tell me they see what's different about shane’s jumping knees since a certain someone went overseas. @_@

mmmpinkyes

the hand on the back of the opponent's head. i saw it too after you pointed it out lol

cuckoo_

? What's wrong with that

mmmpinkyes

if you reaaaally pay attention shane used to do his knee strikes hands-free. the one who usually grabs the back of the opponents head to pull them in (the way he does now) is rozanov.

whippyluv

I can't believe I hadn't noticed until now, but you're right. Wow. His style has also turned more aggressive in general since Rozanov’s excursion. Maybe he's trying to fill in for him?

kippiee_g

Maybe he just misses rozy soooo much hes adopting his style to bring him closer :3c

whippyluv

… What one year of Scott Hunter No Belts does to a mfer.

mmmpinkyes

……….. i mean they ARE from the same trainee class……

kippiee_g

You get the vision >:3c

itskaycee

if this is what gets shane fans on the rozy love train i’m down w it LOL ^^

 

[EGLL] Rozanov’s Hair vs. Mask match against Asa Dorada Jr. is tonight

greggory_3_gs

They’ve promised a free live stream. I’ll edit this post with the link once it's up. (Update: here it is)

Not trying to scare anyone, but commit Rozanov’s long hair to memory while you still can.

 

itskaycee

odds of him winning are…? >_>

greggory_3_gs

0.5 to 9.5.

itskaycee

;_; alright

dubyadubyaz

why so low? just curious, dont know much about lucha. ><

greggory_3_gs

Asa Dorada Jr. comes from a traditional wrestling lineage. His mask was inherited from the most well known Asa Dorada (not the first to don the mask, but the one who wore it the longest) so it's too valuable to be lost so early in his career. Rozanov is an outsider. Even though he was trained by Karma (Asa Dorada Sr.’s brother/Jr.’s uncle in real life) when he first came to Mexico, he doesn't have real ties to any bloodline there, so there's no real stakes to him losing his hair other than he worked hard to grow it and nobody likes being bald.

dubyadubyaz

i see!! thank you greggory! don't worry itskaycee, i’m sure rozanov will still look good bald lol

itskaycee

thanks dubyadubyaz but i always thought you didn't like him :0

dubyasubyaz

i was neutral towards him in c2w but he's grown on me. :p

ElHijoDeFlooderJr

Finally bumped Big Roz to a friday show huh. Let's drink to that.

lucharaaaaaaan

Why does it feel like he’s had to work ten times harder than other gringos? Usually EGLL gives them more grace than this (For way less effort/skill/talent from the wrestler's part might I add)

cruellastchime

“Wrong” type of gringo maybe?

greggory_3_gs

Word in the street is that he talked it over with big people at EGLL to keep his opponents varied in for studying purposes. Since it's usually the same twenty guys rotating sports at the Catedral every week, it'd make sense for him to stick to the smaller shows and arenas if that was really his goal. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS JUST A RUMOR. TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AND NOT HOW MOST OF YOU TOOK THAT OTHER ROZANOV RUMOR THAT'S BANNED FROM THE FORUM NOW BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL GOSSIP FROM REALITY.

mmmpinkyes

i almost want to suspend you for bringing it up but you're in the right actually

itskaycee

now that the stream link is up, who wants to watch it tgt? i started a watch party thread in the free talk area

dynamobabe

Sweet. Mind if I join? :)

itskaycee

pls feel free to join!! it’s open to all!!! let's watch my lovely husband go bald :’)

 

[C2W] Scott Hunter is your new International Heavyweight Champion!

JamonSuplex

Scott Hunter defeats Shane Hollander to win the International Heavyweight Championship in the main event of the Coast 2 Coast Tour Final. He used the Goodnight Kiss to pin Hollander at 38’03”.

Match archive up on C2Day’s website (with a paid fanclub membership).

 

threetofivestar_s

OK I was telling everyone their previous match together was MOTY but this is it. This is MOTY. A six star match if I’ve ever seen one.

creaseman

Would love to make fun of you for glazing them but for once I agree. Phenomenal match and the best possible conclusion for Scott Hunter’s storyline in the Coast 2 Coast Cup.

splattatonic

Crease saying something nice about Hunter? The world ends today XD

creaseman

Just telling things how they are. He puts out some very mediocre matches sometimes, but when he's good, he's a genius.

threetofivestar_s

A genius, you say? Way to rub salt in Hollander’s wound LOL

whippyluv

I was in the crowd for this show! Started kind of slow, but got really good from the third match onwards. Felt like Shane was trying to play heel at some points, did get some boos, but it was all in good fun. Huge pop for Scott getting out of the pin after Eureka. Made me think Shane might retire it as a finisher and stick to the shooting star double knee drop (which is still unnamed…)

kippiee_g

Omg whip we could’ve met!! i was in the crowd too with friends!! :0

whippyluv

Aww, missed opportunity, let's message each other beforehand next time! Did you go to Scott’s M&G? ;)

kippiee_g

YES…. OMG…….. HE WAS SO………. I HAVE NO WORDS

mmmpinkyes

scott hunter scooped him up bridal style and kissed him on the mouth

kippiee_g

SHUT THE FUCK UP MSBDAKBFKDBSK

whippyluv

Just “shut up” and not denying it? I’m choosing to believe it happened.

mmmpinkyes

and it's going to stay that way for 10 more minutes bc i suspended him for swearing HAHAHAHAHAHA

kippiee_g

ABUSE OF AUTHORITY!!!!!!!
SCOTT HUNTER DID NOT SWEEP ME UP AND KISS ME IN THE MEET & GREET!!!! (UNFORTUNATELY)
He was very nice and handsome and thanked me for the support and said he reads my blog :’(((((( i was a mess for the entire show and cried so hard at his win i eventually threw up DBAMFBSKF

mmmpinkyes

and who comes into the restroom to clean up vomit from his mouth and ask for his hand in marriage? no one but the people’s international hw champion, scott hunter!

kippiee_g

IT WAS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (MINUS THE MARRIAGE PART)
scott hunter DID NOT ASK FOR MY HAND IN MARRIAGE

whippyluv

Hahahahahahahahaha you guys are insane.

[FREE TALK] Shane Hollander in Ottawa

kateskates

I met him a couple of days ago at the airport hall and got a picture (which can be found in my blog, shameless plug hehe)

He was extremely kind to me, shook my hand, posed for the photo and we talked a little bit. I told him I was rooting for him to keep the belt against a Scott Hunter and he said smth like “thank you, Hunter was strong, but next time I’ll be even stronger”. The only wrestling merch I had on me was my Hayden logo hand towel, which he found very funny and signed without a problem! Total sweetheart in and out of the ring.

 

kippiee_g

Thats so sweet!! thank you for the report kate ^^ your new blog post is lovely as always!!

kateskates

Thank you Kip <3

JamonSuplex

It's that time of the year again: the two weeks of no updates from Hollander other than photos of trees and occasional wildlife.

whippyluv

You’ve conditioned me to notice this every year too, now I can't stop :P

agallonofquerosene

Ottawa????? That's where I live wtf

kateskates

That's his hometown!! I think his parents still live around there and he visits them during the down season! (Just inferring, don't take it as truth) (The hometown part is true though!! It's on his profile!)

agallonofquerosene

Never thought to check his profile! Thanks for the info

dubyadubyaz

is he still in contact with his parents?? he doesn't really mention them at all and never posted a photo with either of them…

[SJPW] Villano Co. wins the Super 6-Man Tag Championship over YA&KI, attacked by Disorderly Crowd post-match

AshtonAdams

The trio of Carlos Villano, Motoki Kaneda, and Meriken Sax defeated Keita Nogami, Orochi, and Chisa Kawakami to win the Super 6-man Tag Championship!

The Kobe crowd watched on as a spectacle of violence and intensity developed in front of them. Villano Co., with their usual dirty tactics, wore out the veteran Orochi first, and soon put the powerhouse Chisa Kawakami out of action by taping her to the rail guards! Despite an attempt to help by other YA&KI members, it bought Villano Co. just enough time for Motoki Kaneda to hit Keita Nogami with the Saishuu Kaneganaru, pinning him for the win after the 18 minute mark.

Celebrations were cut short when the ring was stormed by the newest and most chaotic faction around, the Disorderly Crowd! C2W’s own Rozanov, joined by NWW’s talents Maksim and Lana Vetrova, cut Villano Co.’s celebrations short by beating all three members up and stealing the belts for themselves. Rozanov, then, took the mic to personally insult Villano, who he had a falling out in-ring during Boreal Wars, and officially challenge for the belts!

Press photos of the match can be found here. A digest video, including the post-match invasion, is up on SJPW’s official website!

lapinesenses

he wears a tiny little orthodox cross around his neck :0 gap moe… is that why he has 1 golden knee pad?

itskaycee

…….. wait wtf I NEVER NOTICED THAT…… OR THE KNEEPAD???? WHAT DA HELL………

whippyluv

Pretty sure the cross is completely new, maybe he got it in Russia when he was there for the NWW show? He's had this kneepad since Mexico though, if the photos of him getting his head shaved are anything to go by.

heyitskaycee That's the knee that broke Shane’s eye btw. Which could mean nothing… :P

itskaycee

fbskfhsjfbskhcdn hollanov……… but now im wondering about the cross, maybe the gold has a deeper meaning…….

joshistence

Now that he's way leaner you can REALLY see the scar we’re not supposed to talk about here >_>

smack1t

? his big ass appendicitis scar?

divingsenton933

You DIDN'T go looking for the thread when you got the warning? LOL

smack1t

oh is that scar related to the (totally fake and baseless mods pls dont ban me) rumor about rozanov? supposedly??

divingsenton933

Allegedly so… falsely and baselessly so :#

dynamobabe

OK OK I’m going to do something I shouldn't but you guys are tiring me out.

Mods & Admins, if you want to ban me permanently after this that's fine but please leave this post up.

Yes, Ilya did get stabbed in Moscow when he was 18 years old, and yes, that's a scar from that time. No, he was not stabbed by ex-girlfriend. Yes, he has a family member involved in gang activity, no, the stabbing was not gang-related, Ilya was never involved in gangs for even one second, and not wanting to be involved in them is a big reason why he left. He himself chose not to tell even the police who stabbed him so the information is not public, but you can see about the incident in the papers, here (lower-middle-left), and here (upper-right corner). No, he was not in the brink of death, he walked to the hospital and got treated, then moved overseas as soon as he could. No, he's not banned from being in Russia or even Moscow, there’s no danger for him there anymore and it wasn't a big incident since he was a regular citizen. The story is not as fantastical as many would think. Just like sometimes family hurts family or neighbors hurt neighbors or strangers hurt strangers in small fights in America, that was how mundane the incident was.

Source is me, I am a childhood friend who helped him through the incident and facilitated his move. I can provide proof to mods through PMs or emails. Everyone else take my word and fuck off.

mmmpinkyes hey dynamo
dynamobabe Hello.
mmmpinkyes thank you for speaking out in that thread
mmmpinkyes i closed the thread so ppl wouldnt get on your case about it. some ppl on here are vultures.
mmmpinkyes you don't need to give me proof or anything, as a mod i have access to your ip location changes and i think i might know who you are irl
mmmpinkyes super creepy feature but its built into the site lol
dynamobabe Kind of creepy but this time I don't mind, makes things easier for me.
mmmpinkyes if you’d like to change your username to remain anonymous i can help you with that
mmmpinkyes i think that inevitably you’re gonna get pms from ppl trying to get closer to you to access rozanov
dynamobabe That's fine, I’m good at ignoring people hahaha. I don't mind.
dynamobabe But does that mean I’m not getting banned?
mmmpinkyes nah, someone needed to close the case and you did it
mmmpinkyes i mean ppl are still gonna try and augmentate the story but your version lends a boring realism (no offense) to it
mmmpinkyes like there's kinda nothing to gossip about when you put it like that
mmmpinkyes so we're good
dynamobabe Thank you, pink.
mmmpinkyes youre welcome. you can call me shawn ^^
dynamobabe You can call me Lana then. :)

 

itskaycee dynamo, i know your pms maybe look like hell right now, but i just wanted to say, thank you so much for what you did in the thread and for helping rozy move, i obviously dont know the circumstances and as a mere fan i never will, but my heart hurts when i think about everything hes been through and im relieved he had someone like you to help. maybe im overstepping boundaries and its ok to tell me to shut up and fuck off i just rly wanted to thank you.
dynamobabe It's okay Kaycee, I want to thank you too for supporting him. He is much happier where he is now and it's thanks to fans like you. He's very strong so please don't worry about him.
dynamobabe Don't tell anyone I said this, but the cross has no relation to the decoration on his kneepad. It was a coincidence. He got the kneepad first, for the reasons you may think. ;)
itskaycee KJFLSJFKDNG……. DYNAMO……… IM CRYING SO MUCH THANK YOU you are so kind and awesome i owe you my life………

 

[SJPW] INTERVIEW: The Big Boss Rozanov and his Disorderly Crowd

AshtonAdams

“My goal is to make fans realize they're not in control, things will not go as they think it will, and that's okay. I’m the one who calls the shots, and they should surrender their trust to me.”

“My favorite thing about Japan is the beautiful people and the nice alcohol. But nothing beats authentic Russian vodka.”

“I would like to learn more of the Japanese language. I know someone who’s part Japanese and I want to impress them. Or piss them off (laughs).”

Full interview on the SJPW official media website.

 

rockitoutww

i know everywhere rozanov has been to during this excursion ppl have been claiming ownership of him but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE he's gotta stay in sjpw for five more years HE'S SAVING THIS DAMN COMPANY

divingsenton933

EGLL fans are already beefing with SJPW to hand him back LOL. Rumor has it that his contract with SJPW is yearly so let's see how it goes.

whippyluv

He's definitely going right back to C2W when the year is up:

(Archive) Shane Hollander’s debut interview! On his ‘Genius’ title, Japanese heritage, athletic background, and more…

He has a half-Japanese man at home he wants to impress (or piss off).

dynamobabe

Wanna know who else used to play hockey? :)

 

[SJPW/C2W] DISORDER AT THE BORDER! Rozanov invades C2W’s Across the Borders Tour final!

AshtonAdams

The Big Boss Rozanov has made a shocking return to his home promotion, after two years and four months abroad!

The second match of the Across the Borders Tour final in Montreal saw C2W’s young ace, The Genius Shane Hollander, facing former ally JJ Degenais. Hollander and Degenais, who were briefly active as a tag team in the past, had a falling out over Degenais harsh comments about Hollander’s performance in the Coast 2 Coast Cup, and settled the score in a special singles match with a 15-minute time limit. The face off was a clean battle of ideologies, with Hollander coming victorious, pinning Degenais with the Eureka at 11 minutes and 30 seconds.

Soon after the final bell, Hollander’s celebration was cut short, and the crowd was left astounded by the starting chords of Burning Blizzard! Rozanov walked into the ring to meet a very shocked Shane Hollander, and offer him a handshake – only to betray him at the last second, and violently attack him!

Full show can be found on C2W’S official website (fanclub subscription necessary). A digest video is up on SJPW’s media website.
