Tapping out

It doesn’t happen very frequently but I’m throwing in the towel. I quit, I submit, I give, whatever you want to call it. I’ve been dealing with (at least what I think) the worst case of migraines ever. I’ve been getting them on and off, mostly on, for the past couple weeks. I’d like to think I’m not a wimp but these are awful. When they come on they can (and have) lasted 4 days at a time. It’s like an intense throbbing pressure, like my heads being crushed in a vice. It gets so intense that I literally see stars sometimes. I spent days just laying down in bed, avoiding going out or using lights. When I did get up and move about sometimes I felt disoriented, it was a hassle to do pretty much everything. Then when they’d subside, I felt so worn out that all I wanted to do was rest/sleep until the next one came on. The good news is I’ve made it through this whole weekend without incident. I did see my doctor about it and it seems to be manageable now. I’ve been trying to keep up communication with everybody by email but for awhile the brightness of the screen made it tough. For those of you who have my phone number, I dropped and broke my phone (again), I’m using a temporary number for now so email me for that number if you need to get in touch with me.

I want to say thank you to everybody who donated to the charities, we raised a significant amount of money together.

The POV (point of view) match seemed to be pretty well received by the majority of you. I’m not convinced if it’s just because of the novelty factor of if it’s something most of you would like to see regularly. I’ll be doing another one to test it out.

I must’ve been on Santa’s bad boy list this year, while St. Nick might not appreciate my antics, if you appreciate them though and would like to contribute to the pile of presents under Jonny’s tree, visit my wish list here.

I have a couple projects I have in the works but could use come help. Maybe work out a trade scenario, either for private wrestling or free videos. If you have any background with law, accounting, etc.

That’ll do it for now, I wish I had more to update with but I’ve been out of commission lately. Now that I’m back on my feet, my next update will be more eventful. Back to watching the Patriots. Hopefully #12 won’t be playing in the game much longer, a healthy Tom Brady will be needed for the superbowl run!

Quick poll

From my point of view

Every now and again it would be nice if people saw things from my point of view. I’m not a bad guy, I don’t go out of my way to hunt down and destroy jobbers… Ok. Well, maybe I do. BUT, it’s not out of malice. I can’t help myself, it’s my vice. Some like to gamble, I like love to punish pretty boys. I just happen to be in the fortunate position to indulge my vice.

Like when The Boss dangled Rio Garza in front of me. I don’t dislike Rio, I think he’s a great guy, but look at him! How can you not want to punish those pecs, abuse those abs, twist and torture every last joint on his picture perfect, sculpted body?! I don’t want to say I get lost in the moment, because I’m very aware of what I’m doing, I suppose the closest way to describe it would be to say, I’m totally immersed in my work. The look of pain on the jobbers face, the way his body reacts to each hold or strike, the way his muscles strain as he tries to escape. Those are the only things that matter to me in those moments. Each reaction is a small reward for the work I’m putting in. Most times I could quit half way through the match, and I suppose it would be a satisfactory beating, but I’m compelled to finish. I need to finish. I need him, I need you, I need The Boss, and more importantly, I personally need to know that I put all my effort into creating a masterpiece. The jobber helps bring out the best in me, helps me reach my potential. I’d like to think I bring out the best in him. I’d like to think, I help the world appreciate the jobber more. What better way can the Rio’s, the Jake Jenkins, Austin Cooper’s, and Kip Sorell’s of the world be appreciated, than after they’ve been worked over, put on display and left in a heap of sweaty, destroyed muscle?

It’s an experience I don’t feel like many can relate to. It’s exhilarating being able to step into the ring and completely dominate another man, impose your will, and have him be helpless to stop you. So that’s why I put my thinking cap on, and tried to think of a way to share it with you. I could try a lengthy text description, a series of photos, maybe some clips of my favorite moments, but that’s been done before. It wouldn’t do justice to the experience. Then it hit me like a clothesline. Point of View wrestling. Point of View 1: Jonny Firestorm vs. Jake “Lorenzo” Lowe, will put you in the ring with me. Literally. For the first time ever, you will experience a Jonny beat down from my point of view. You’ll see the pain rush across Jake’s face with each gut punch. Only to be replaced by awe and eagerness, as I let him crawl up my quads to muscle worship me. You’ll also get to experience life as a jobber when the perspective switches over to Jake’s point of view. You’ll get lost in the moment seeing me cock back my fist and drive it into your abs, you might even feel the impact when I slam you down to the mat. You’ll be able to hear each breath, feel the ring shake beneath our feet, see the holds from each perspective.

I’m not sure POV wrestling has a big market. Truth be told, I don’t care. I wanted to try to share a wrestling experience with the world, let you see things from my eyes. Or on the flip side, see how hopeless it is to be on the receiving end of things. I wanted to create, break new ground, and push the envelope. Originality and innovation might be another one of my obsessions. Just like my compulsion to give jobbers the beatings they deserve, the beatings they were put inside the ring to receive. I always want to think of a new way to do things, a new way to create or present the wrestling experience. If it sticks, that’s great, if not, at least I’m failing at creating something new.

I’ll warn you ahead of time, this is the first attempt at this type of match. It’s the very first real POV wrestling match ever.  Some other productions might have brief moments of POV angles. Throughout the whole match the perspective changes multiple times. There will be short periods of time where the camera angle is less than desirable, it’s part of the learning experience and they don’t last that long. During those moments there’s still something exciting about the experience. When it’s not the best viewing angle (which you could argue is more realistic, you don’t always have the best view while wrestling), the experience of either me applying the hold, or Jake suffering in the hold is still pretty cool. Not to mention the verbal humiliation Jake endures as he’s forced to worship me, and accept that he’s going to become my bitch boy after the match. The match is slightly over 40 minutes long, unfortunately the POV camera had it’s battery die before the finish of the match (which occurred shortly after it died) but the video ends in a very satisfying way as it is. This isn’t a buyer beware type of warning, I’m very happy and proud of the match as it is, but I wanted to be transparent so nobody felt like they were getting taken for a ride (except during the POV slams). It’s similar to my other “baby”, Custom Combat, it’s a great initial offering and now that I know the in’s and out’s of making it work, the next one will be that much better.

I guarantee this point of view is much more exciting than my current point of view. Which is staring between my computer screen and the ceiling, sick as a dog. So here’s to me feeling better and I hope you enjoy Point of View 1.

A quickie…

Who doesn’t love a quickie? After that Patriots win, that’s all I’m going to have time for before I call it a night.

But before we get into all the Jonny stuff… If you email me (info@jonnyfirestorm.com) with proof of a donation of at least $100 to one of the following charaties

https://www.childhelp.org/

http://www.cedars-kids.org/

I will send you a link to a free match download. You get to do some good and get a free Jonny match, I don’t see the downside. So act now and let’s do some good together before the holiday season.

Now onto all things Firestorm

I’m going to be in the DC/VA area the weekend of January 9-11th. I could extend my trip if anybody wanted to do some private wrestling. I won’t be available on the 10th at all, or the 11th for the first half of the day. As of right now I plan on flying into DCA but I haven’t booked my flight yet so I’m open to switching airports if need be.

I’m going to write about what I’ve been up to in more detail later but I just wanted to get a quick update out for now. I have some exciting things I’m working on, or at least I think they are. I’m still wicked behind on emails, making an effort to catch up and go through them all. I’ve also discovered that a bunch of emails ended up in my spam folder. So some of you should be getting some very late, random responses from me.

 

The store has been updated with a brand new downloadable match. This match is the debut of a brand new web series called “The Challenger”. I issued an open challenge to anybody who had the balls to step into the ring with me, and Flash LaCash was the first person to step up to the plate. Flash is skilled pro hunk, with a pretty significant height and weight advantage over me. He’s the perfect opponent for me to kick off “The Challenger” series against. We go toe to toe in a 20 minute, sweaty, back and forth pro battle with multiple submissions and pin falls. The Challenger 1: Jonny Firestorm vs. Flash LaCash is available as a $25 download in the store.

Speaking of Flash LaCash, he’s in one of the latest BG East products, Demolition 18. Check it out and let me know who you think did a better job working over Jake Jenkins, Flash or me on the award winning (best squash match of the year),  Jobberpaloozer 12: The works?
