The Burial Of Gellitro..


Just to make this crystal clear as you guys read this, this is just me purely getting my emotions out, at the end of the day I ain't saying people's mentalities are concrete, but I've been through this long enough to basically rant about it.. ..I ain't going to force you to change your mind about me or whatever, but for anyone who wants to know what's up with Gellitro, or whatever is bugging me, this is purely just to vent.

You have been warned~

So as of late I did a edition of Gellitro that I despise, and I'll get to that in a minute, but it's really made me think over how annoying this situation has become.

I am not the type to claim anyone is purposely burying anyone, because at the end of the day, when doing a show, we're trying to carry out the vision that's in our heads, and sometimes when people ask to join in, they aren't necessarily a part of said vision, and in turn they may book them, but won't really have the room to thrive per se like some others will..

But ever since like 2017, Gellitro has been slowly buried six feet under..

You may come up and argue that Gellitro's first match in future he won, but yeah that may be true, but you also gotta factor in that victory was your typical roll up kinda win..

From then on, Gellitro was booked to lose from then on..

Gellitro on ROX, episode 3, 4, and burnout lap 2, is just used as enhancement talent

on BCW he was booked as like the first person in the gauntlet match on episode 2, and basically is enhancement talent for a caw called tommy epsilon, and sure his backstory going into this is that he's a hometown hero of sorts, but then again so is Gellitro.. (That'll be expanded upon later..) And later on to episode 4, Gellitro is set to face off against wolfe at BCW's ppv.. and let's be honest here, wolfe is basically in a goldberg set up of taking out jobbers and talent to rack up wins and stuff, so there's no surprise that Gellitro loses his bcw ppv match against wolfe, once again being enhancement talent..

on future, he was barely booked at all in the first place out of the what.. 11 episodes, and 2 ppvs that have been put out?, his only matches were on the pre-show against miedo (being basically enhancement talent again, even though it would make more sense to utilize the FUTURE aspect of the show in trying to make miedo basically pass the torch per se... not to mention he never did the match, and we had to have remix play as him..), and then in the main event of episode 10 Gellitro was supposed to basically be enhancement talent for Franchise..

and yeah you can argue that spot is good to have since it's the main event, but when he's been only booked to be enhancement talent for so long, it comes to no surprise that when I attended the stream, people were basically crapping all over Gellitro and joking about how pathetic he was, and that's not even taking into consideration of the match as well, as I purposely tried to work with Franchise on making a story out of the match, only for ourselves to try and get shockz to accept the match in the first place because he felt it was "Too much", even though it was a main event that didn't involve breaking anything really..

And here's another spoiler that's pretty obvious too, Gellitro ain't getting booked for battle of miami, sure he has a rumble that most likely has him in there, but considering the set up I've gone over here, Gellitro ain't going to be that special, and he's just gonna lose and ain't nobody going to care one bit that he lost because nobody has booked Gellitro to make anyone care at all in the first place. Now of course I'm not saying I want him to win, because him shooting for a world title shot frankly is a bit too much considering everything that's gone on here, let alone "Well he should win more" is quite frankly childish in it's own right..

And you can come up to me and claim that he's got a good thing with LLU now, and frankly I wouldn't count that in the first place, because sure.. Gellitro got a promo package, and won his match in the main event of episode 1, but not only are you possibly not going to see him again considering the set up of the rise to riches stipulation, but ever since 6 went rogue on us, and rosa quit, and me having to salvage it all together from dying, I own LLU now at this point, and I shouldn't have to be the only one that tries to make people care about the guy.

I mean nobody asks in the first place what Gellitro's character is in the first place when booking him.

Like a british man.. with a passion for lucha libre, going to mexico, only to find out the trainer he wanted to be trained by has a bias against people that weren't mexican, and in the end got him to train him after days and nights of working hard to gain his trust, and then being doubted by the other guys in the back and culture on if he can do it considering there wasn't that many outsiders in the lucha circuit, with him then becoming better until the point everyone had no choice but to respect him, and in turn making him a success story in lucha libre that if you have the passion, you can make it anywhere, making him a character that's to inspire the kids and fans to chase after your dreams and such..

LIKE YOU WOULD THINK A CHARACTER LIKE THAT WOULD BE BOOKED IN A MANOR THAT MADE PEOPLE CARE, BUT NOOOO~ IT'S JUST ENHANCE THIS, ENHANCE THAT, NO FEUDS EVER ALLOWED BECAUSE THAT'S FOR THE BIG BOYS..

aaand no, I ain't going to count the fact that a good portion of the exhibition matches I had with friends (including shockz) I choose to lose to, but frankly in retrospect with him only having like 2 wins out of like what.. 10 matches or something? It's just made this all worse.

I'm not asking people that have Gellitro to make him win, but the character is to be inspirational, and everywhere he's gone, nobody gives 2 shits

and while I could argue this is a problem with luchadores in general, sure that's certainly a problem, but El Miedo has had more respect in the community, even in the earlier days, and in turn it just makes me feel I'm doing something wrong, even though I'm not really.

So that's why I ended up making this..

At that point I was fed up, and made a darker version of the dude, one that mainly was very heelish, basically venting my frustration over this that has boiled up for like 3 years, but now I hate this so badly because it's a total betrayal of what the character is supposed to stand for.

..and I kept my silence about it because I know for a fact people are gonna look at this and be like "Eh this guy's spoiled, begging for more when he doesn't deserve nuthin'", and some show owners may look at this and be like "I dunno if I wanna book him now because I don't wanna deal with his complainin' ass, we probably would have to effin' pull teeth in order to come to any agreement"

I ain't claiming Gellitro deserves anything out of this community, but simply put.. I'm skeptical and honestly pretty unsure on bringing Gellitro into any more leagues because I feel a character that's supposed to inspire the kids is just gonna be buried further into the ground until even kayfabe wise the kids have given up on Gellitro being a inspiration because there's nothing to cheer for anymore.

And like I said before, I'm fully aware of the whole vision aspect of caw shows, because if you're not making a show to your vision, and you're doing it for the sake of doing it, you're doing it wrong, and nobody should force you to book something you don't like, or want to do because there's pressures around you. ..that being said, that doesn't necessarily make you a good booker either, so while I say to keep the vision strong, don't let it go stupid either.

I'm not leaving the shows I'm apart of, I'm going to co-operate to make your visions happen, but as far as bringing Gellitro into anymore leagues, and there's no plans on giving him something to work with at all, and he'll just be enhancement talent, I'm sorry, I honestly don't care if this sounds foolishly selfish, but I won't go for it.

I appreciate the fact you guys take the time to take interest in him at all if you ask for him to join, but frankly I just don't want him to be a disappointment anymore..

I'm sorry if this session of venting got you upset, or seen me in a different light, I'm still a very positive guy that loves to help people out with sim, caw show psychology, having fun sim matches, brainstorming attire stuff, editing flashy stuff including mixes (next year i'll definitely bring back the "MVs"), whatever else in between, and that ain't changing anytime soon, but I felt I needed to let people know the full perspective I have on this as to what's ticking me off, and why I'm reluctant to bring Gellitro into anymore league shows..

..also don't misconstrued this as me not wanting to job anymore, because I got like a few jobber caws as is already, so I ain't got no problem with jobbing in league shows..

But that's it, thank you for taking the time to read this over NINE THOUSANNND lettered rant, I got some fun stuff coming up, so until then, I'm your Opinionated Persuasion, signing out..
