idea for wrestling gimmick: normal ass person who can’t make ends meet so they have to wrestle as a second job. they come into the ring in a dishelved and unironed office shirt. their finishing move is called “overtime”. they are constantly on the verge of crying in promos
their name is either something like “X-Pendable” or “Ryan From Sales”

My wife has informed me that THIS GUY KINDA EXISTS!! his name is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. According to Wikipedia, he was advertised as an “anti-establishment antihero” who’s whole gimmick was that he was just a normal guy who had been chewed up by dead-end jobs. Funnily enough, he also mainly fought Vince McMahon, the president of WWE, AKA HIS OWN BOSS, ON LIVE TV.
So there you go! Maybe not as directly pathetic-sounding as the thing OP described, but the idea has some realness to it!
Bestie I appreciate your enthusiasm for the subject matter but that is like if someone asked for a tragic character and someone else said “Oh yeah I did some research and found this guy called Hamlet?”
Hayao Miyazaki could make a secret garden movie. He’d probably change things, he always does, but I don’t think I’d mind if it was him doing it. He understands children and grief and the restorative power of nature in a way that few filmmakers do
“The minuls were having a hard time figuring out their scratching mat, until mama Tiina stepped in to show them how it’s done. Now, they’re pros just like her!”
I feel like the posting levels are not where they should be for a Dick Cheney death. Never felt more like a millennial. There was a time people would be dancing in the streets at this news
