Auckgeddon17: I met Holland Roden

-
Oh hello, it’s an Armageddon blog. 
This time there’s no food involved because I was too hype to eat anything all weekend. Oops

Pre Geddon Friday I learnt how to drive a truck! So that was exciting.
We set up the ring for the upcoming weekend and I got to meet a cute little goat. Don’t be fooled by its cuteness however, it was actually head butting me.


On Saturday Amber, Candy and I had a look at some of the stalls and I picked up a Princess Aurora Pop Vinyl -as previously mentioned she is my fav Disney Princess.
I also had my first match against Delilah for the first round of the Woman’s Armageddon Cup Tournament.


Delilah is awesome, she’s fairly new and comes from another Auckland promotion, which she worked at right after our match together. A group of IPW folk went to watch and support her, she didn’t come out with the big W, but she did a great job.
After the show, I headed to Father Ted’s to chill with two of the #KiwiClassics Will and TK.

On Sunday morning I met with Will and TK for brunch and we watched some WWE 205 Live before  heading back to Geddon for day 2.

In the afternoon  we had the final of the Armageddon Cup, it was Britenay vs. Candy Lee vs. Me and Candy won to become the first ever Women’s Armageddon Cup Champion. Maori Tv were on hand to capture it all for a documentary they were filming about Candy.
After the show we had to take Will to Auckland hospital because he got hit by a clothesline and split his eye open, didn’t get a photo of that because it was gross!
We headed to Pizza Hut with TK and his partner Leo afterwards, I picked up the new Vegan Pizza, and then we headed to the Auckland museum to chow down.


On Monday I knew I was meeting Holland Roden, Star of Teen Wolf so I dressed up a bit, and managed to get a snap with Mickey Mouse in my Minnie Bow.



Holland was super cute, I asked her to wear the bow so I could pretend we were just mates hanging out at a Disney park, lol.
Thanks to Ryan Hull for hooking me up with this!
I also met Jessica Nigri who was amazing and chatted for ages, she was kind enough to take a Polaroid with me and sign it.

All in all, it was a great weekend with an awesome team. 

-Ash.

A Year in Review

It is one night out from IPW’s Time Crisis 2. I’m sitting here reflecting on the year that’s been, all its ups and downs, and I’ve just realised that I will actually be wrestling the next 5 weekends in a row. That’s every weekend until Christmas! Holy sh*t. When did I become a worker?!  I’ve done a lot of things I never thought I with do in wrestling this year, things like wrestling Bea Priestley in front of over 600 people in Invercargill, having 6 matches in a weekend at Wellington Armageddon, finally overcoming my fear of the top rope and landing a Moonsault, or feuding over whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza. I’ve had 25 matches in front of a live crowd since my debut match at Rainbows End in September 2016, and that will reach 30 by the end of the year. I’ve also been booked by 5 different promotions in New Zealand (there are only 8 wrestling promotions in the country). Writing this down is absolutely surreal to me. On top of all that I’ve also...

RotoVegas Pt. 1: Christmas Day

Everyone has different traditions for Christmas, for me it's all about family. This year our family Christmas was held at my parents new house in Rotorua, after we had our immediate family's gift exchange the food preparations begin for the huge family lunch that we have with all my Aunts, Uncles & Cousins. Of course I snuck in lots of accidentally vegan things into the shared table including garlic bread and a Chocolate Hazelnut & Boysenberry cake that I made myself. I used The Caker's mix for my base, they no longer stock the Chocolate Hazelnut mix but have other options in their online  store . I've also tried the Raspberry & Coconut mix, and the Lemon & Plum - which was my fave! The best part about these mixes is most of them are easily made vegan (I think only one mix includes dairy milk chocolate.) I decided to add boysenberries to make it more Christmas-y, so divided it into two layers and filled with a boysenberry sauce which I whippe...

If You Wanna Break These Walls Down You’re Gonna Get Bruised

From seeing me on social media, you probably wouldn’t know that I grew up being the odd one out. I was targeted in school by girls my age for dressing differently and not being interested in partying or boys. I didn’t keep friends for very long because they would be scared away by my father or get bored that I was never allowed to hang out after school/stay over on weekends. That feeling of ‘outsider-ness’ has stuck with me as an adult, I still have a constant fear that people will discover I’m not ‘cool’ and cast me aside, and for that reason I find it incredibly difficult to connect with or trust people when I’m never sure if people like me for who I am, rather than what I can get them. However, I’m extremely lucky to have found people in wrestling who are as odd as me, who understand feeling like an outsider – but never treat me like one. Part of the reason I developed my character The Princess of Ponsonby is because she is so opposite to me, while she flaunts her w...
