My feature article on art, politics and pro wrestling from issue 4 of Moonsault Press
Image of the article which reads: Art, Politics and Pro Wrestling Art is inherently political and I believe wrestling is definitely an artform. Therefore wrestling is political. The wrestling we choose to watch, how we spend our money, . who We Support e and who we don't is political. While I don't believe in tribalism in wrestling, I do believe in holding people accountable for their actions. The choices we make as fans matter. I will not support any company that allows known abusers a platform to continue to work, putting innocent people at risk of harm and violence. I choose to support wrestling that supports women, all women. Wrestling that supports thè LGBTQIA+ community, First Nations people, immigrants, and diversity in all its forms. With every choice they make these companies are showing us who they are and we need to listen. Whether it is abusive men in power in locker rooms across the world, assholes who pretend to care about women's safety when it allows them to hate and dehumanise trans people or nazi fucks parading down the streets of Melbourne in the niddle of the night, it's about time they were afraid again. "Until they stop fucking with my friends. Until they make a country that is safe outside of this room. Until those fucking nazis are afraid again.'" - Effy (Big Gay Brunch X) Lino print. Pink paint with white text which reads "Until those fucking nazis are afraid again"

It has been a HUGE month for Erika Reid. She defended the Mayhem Pro Internet Championship at Guilty as Charged and won the MCW Women's Championship at Vendetta. See the full review of both shows here: bit.ly/3JH91gW
A photo of Erika Reid holding the newly won MCW Women's Championship over her head with a big smile on her face. Underneath is a quote from Moonsault Press Issue 4 which reads "Erika Reid may just be the heart of Melbourne wrestling."

We haven't seen Eli Theseus in MCW since December of last year. He has been off competing in the US. An interesting challenger for Caveman Ugg

Edward Dusk is fast becoming one of my absolute favourites. If Robbie Thorpe beats Ugg for the MCW title I have to imagine Dusk will be the one to defeat him and hold the title next. This rivalry is heated. Can't wait to see Dusk destroy Menero

It's almost annoying how good Robbie Thorpe is. He just won the Ballroom Brawl and now has a big test ahead of him with Tommy Knight. Two big boys ready to beat the shit out of each other

Triple threat tag team titles match filled with young competitors who will be flying around the ring. Hoping Mitch Waterman's injury doesn't take him out of this one. Lucas Fantasia and Lucky O'Leary are always a lot of fun. Ryan Rapid is really something special

Adam Brooks isn't just defending the Intercommonwealth Championship, he is testing the future of Australian Wrestling. Tuckman is one of the brightest rising stars we have. After a couple of great matches w Robbie Eagles this is another huge opportunity for him

Aysha vs Shay Kassidy could be match of the night. Aysha is one of the best and more people need to realise it. Shay Kassidy's performances have improved so much over the last 6-12 months. I can't wait to see what these two can do together

Let's start with Erika Reid vs Eugenie for the MCW Women's Championship. This story has been building for about a year. Eugenie has been dominant in their previous matches but Erika has been building momentum. Erika Reid is one of my favourite wrestlers. Looking forward to her getting the title back

While Moonsault Press is an online zine, I lino print each of the covers. Printed the first 4 in a batch. I'll be making some new ones on the weekend as well as a new print to accompany an article in Issue 4

I saw Robbie Eagles vs Kyle Fletcher at a pub in Melbourne in 2023 and it was one of the best matches I've seen live. Both have come a long way since then. Put it in the O2 TK

Having fun with a scanner while working on the July issue. Feature article is done. Now just waiting for the Ballroom Brawl next weekend to wrap it up
I messed around with the cover of the July issue. The original print has black paint on blue paper. It has 'moonsault' at the top, 'press' at the bottom and an image of a person upside down mid moonsault in the middle. While scanning i moved the print from side to side so that the image of the person moonsaulting is warped

I had an idea for a new zine project at about 1am last night. Might fuck around and actually try to finish this one. Also welcome to my lino printing, card collecting and dnd preparing end of the dining table
A photo of the design I have for the front cover of my zine. You can see the words 'Moonsault Press' and an image of someone mid moonsault. The table is also surrounded by piles of trading cards and other junk

He wasn't "firing at protesters" he was firing at a reporter.
Screenshot for the 9News Australia tiktok which shows their caption "US Correspondent Lauren Tomasi has been caught in the crossfire as the LAPD fired rubber bullets at protesters in the heart of Los Angeles." The screenshot shows the LAPD officer aiming directly at the reporter
