It’s the most wonderful time of the year, CF update

Now that I’ve had my day to sulk over the Patriots loss to Denver, it’s time to get back to work. This team is so good, it’s amazing what they’re able to do. They played and were beating the #1 defense in the NFL with 1 legitimate WR, an offensive line thats been patched together, and their backup RB. I know every team is banged up at this point, but look at how baron they are at WR. Even the WR group in Baltimore, or Carolina is better than what the Pats are playing with right now. I think the clock management was poor towards the end of the game, the pass play Gronk got hurt on should’ve been a run. That whole drive should’ve been run, run, run, punt if need be. It’s kind of good they lost, I think BB will be able to use that as motivation. ‘Dola will be back soon, Gronk will be healthy in a couple weeks, if things go well for Edelman, he’ll be back by week 17 or the playoffs, Collin’s & Hightower should be back up to speed in a couple weeks. The Lewis injury is still a tough one to deal with. I’m just glad they lost now, I couldn’t handle them going 16-0, just to lose in the SB again.

Anyways, onto the Jonny stuff.

My knee is feeling significantly better than it was the last time I posted. It’s still a little swollen, but I’m able to walk without crutches now. Just around the house and stuff, I don’t want to go overboard. I’ve started (gingerly) doing stairs. It feels good to use the leg again after not being able to put weight on it, or bend it for about a month. If things keep progressing like this, I’m hoping I’ll be back on my feet and squashing jobbers in a couple months.

Club Firestorm members will notice everything has been updated.

The free pro match is going to be added shortly, the video files are still rendering. The file type they were origionally in isn’t compatible with the video player I use, so I had to remake them.

The main website is going to have a new match added to it next week, it’s a match I think everybody will enjoy a lot. I’m going to give Club Firestorm members a pre-release version this weekend.

I’m very excited to have Aryx Quinn/Tristan Baldwin in the fold. He’s one of a kind. Often imitated, never duplicated. He’s as skilled as he is sexy, he’s versatile (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) so he can fight on the mats, just as easily as he can rumble in the ring. I’ve always enjoyed working with Aryx, even if we were staring each other down from opposite corners of the ring.

I was pretty bummed out after hurting my knee, but I think even being hurt, I can help contribute in a lot of ways, especially that I’m more mobile now. I was basically useless in FL for the BG East tapings. I was stuck in a chair holding a camera the whole time, I did get some great shots, but it’s not the best use of my skill set. I’m able to help demonstrate more moves now, I can still head to pro practices and offer my 2 cents. I think just getting out of the house and being around things I enjoy will help get be back on track faster. It’s been miserable laying around with my leg up. I’ve gone though everything on my DVR. I have had a chance to get some reading done, which is nice. I forgot how much I enjoyed to sit back with a book and relax.

That’ll do it for now, keep your eyes peeled next week for a brand new Jonny match, that will be available on the main site (or 50% off for Club Firestorm members, in the discounted VODs section).

Happy Birthday to me! Jonny vs. Masked Menace

It’s my birthday! I’m not planning on doing much today. After I get done posting this (and doing an update for Club Firestorm Members), I plan on hitting the gym, cooking dinner, and calling it a night. Today isn’t totally uneventful for me though, I’ve been working all morning on getting this update ready.

Jonny Firestorm vs. Masked Menace

 

In my newest download offering, I take on the Masked Menace, who might look familiar to those of you who are active on the private wrestling scene. He’s a skilled wrestler, and he packs a lot of power in his strikes and submission holds. We hold nothing back as we pummel, stretch, and slam each other around the squared circle.

 

The sweat flows as the intensity is taken up a notch. There’s a lot of submissions, reversals, crotch grabs, humiliating pins and holds. The bout doesn’t end until one of us is knocked out.

The match is available to purchase in the store (or using the button below). Remember, Club Firestorm members get a 50% discount in the Discounted VOD section of Club Firestorm! By now, I shouldn’t have to remind everybody that if you’re going to buy the match at full price, you might as well join Club Firestorm. It costs the same amount for the membership and the match. The real bonus is you’d get access to all the great Club Firestorm content, including the free streaming matches. Or you could just buy the video at full price. Whatever floats your boat. I should mention, Club Firestorm members are getting an exclusive DVD offering today that has the only jockstrap match that I’ve ever done!

Jonny vs. Masked Menace. 23 minutes, $50

My new diet and work out routine is going very well. I had a killer leg day that I’m still feeling. It’s still the fist week, but I’ve enjoyed every aspect of it so far. I’m eating a lot more than I did last time I dieted (healthy, portioned food of course), so I’m not as cranky. The work outs are killer. After the fact, I appreciate the hard work I put in, but at the time it’s brutal. Hopefully in another week or two, I’ll start seeing enough of a difference to post some progress pictures.

I didn’t watch SummerSlam this year, there wasn’t much on it that interested me. However, the NXT show the night before was great. I think I enjoy NXT more than the current WWE product. It’s always good to see Finn Balor in action, even though he beat me. The women’s match was phenomenal, the best wrestling match I’ve seen on WWE programming in a while. Seeing Liger in a WWE ring was kind of cool. The whole show from top to bottom, was very solid.

There’s still a couple spots open in the Firestorm Fantasy Football league, so leave a comment if you’re interested (I don’t approve the fantasy football comments, so no worries about exposing your name/email, etc if you’re worried about people seeing you want to join).

Speaking of football. I want to go to the New England/Denver game, in Denver this year. Does anybody have a ticket connection?

Finally, to wrap things up. I’m including a donation button below, in case anybody wants to give me a birthday gift. I’ll be using whatever funds to buy new gym clothes, possibly buy those football tickets if nothing else comes through, pay off some bills, or maybe just do something fun.




Fun in the sun

Florida ended up being a very busy trip. I think I saw the water once, might have been out in the sun once. Not that you’d be able to tell from my non existent tan lines.

I can’t post pictures from the BGE taping, but I will brag about the guys we had wrestle. All of them were studs. I can’t wait to see the reaction people have when the matches are finally released. Two of them aren’t new to the wrestling world and another two are brand new rookies who should be early favorites for some of the year end awards in 2015.

 Of course there were some night time shenanigans as well. My first night in I went out with the boys to a well known local establishment and we got our drink on. Things can get a little out of control when you have alcohol and wrestlers mixed together, this was one of our calmer photo ops. 

  

 That being said, it probably wasn’t the smartest idea to have a couple nights of drinking under my belt before we started filming. I was more bloated than I should’ve been, but like I said in my last post. Everything seems to be on track, just gotta focus more on the mid section, and I have been!

I filmed a lot of custom matches, I wish I had time to do more. The response I got from my previous blog was overwhelming. I’m still trying to catch up on emails from the trip to let people know that I didn’t have time for their request.

I can’t post some of the images from the matches I did for a couple different reasons (imaginations run wild), but I hope you enjoy some of the photos I am willing to share.

I’m going to be doing another (larger) custom match taping mid to late April, I’ll have the cast posted as they confirm. This time I’m leaving myself plenty of time to fulfill any and all custom match requests that I receive.

 We had several different themes from the matches pictured. Some of them have a theme of me being the leader of a heel cult. Our sole purpose is to recruit new heels (sometimes against their will) and train them in the art of domination. If they’re able to survive their initiation some are promoted to the next rank, others are doomed to forever be the punching bags for the next group of heels in training.

We had several low blow themed matches. One with me and Austin Cooper that was very back and forth. Another between Drake Marcos and me that had be busting his bulge the entire time. I had fun, he probably had less fun.

 I also did a sleepers themed squash match where I repeatedly knocked out Austin Cooper with a variety of different sleeper holds.

The one that I enjoyed the most was probably a custom requested Custom Combat, where I destroy poor Ty Alexander. He was a trooper, he took everything I could dish out. Not with a smile on his face, but he survived. When you’re on the receiving end of a squash match with me, surviving is all you can ask for.

When we were done with two very long days of filming, I went out with the boys and celebrated. We went out to dinner and hit up the Manor after. We were separated and not all of us went home together. I hope they had as much fun as I did!

I don’t have a lot of downtime, despite what most people think. I was home from FL for about 24 hours before shooting up to Montreal. It was a short visit, I can’t wait to go back though. I love going up, there’s always something fun going on, the people are nice, the food is good. I can’t wait till the weather is a little nicer and walking around the city is enjoyable.

The new camcorder works great, there’s a slight learning curve that I’m getting accustomed to. As you can see from the photos, we were whited out at times. In the past having too much light in that ring room was never a problem, the camera handles low light situations spectacularly. Lesson learned. I haven’t played around much with the 4K recording mode yet, mostly because the computer I have isn’t equipped to handle the footage. In about a week that won’t be a problem anymore.

I had a great week in the gym… at least I think that I did. I stepped up my ab work and have been doing some extra work on my chest and back this week. Next week I’m going to start working in some cardio on my non lifting days, so hopefully the abs will start coming in faster.

If the formatting on this is a little off it’s because I’m doing it from my phone while running at the gym. That’s it for now Firestormers, till next time!
