Mercedes Moné en France : une venue historique annoncée pour le show « Apogée »

L’annonce a fait l’effet d’une dĂ©flagration dans le paysage du catch français. Mercedes MonĂ©, ancienne star mondiale de la WWE, se produira en France le 14 mars prochain lors du show « ApogĂ©e », coorganisĂ© par la Banger Zone Wrestling et Rixe. Une apparition exceptionnelle qui confirme l’ambition grandissante de la scĂšne indĂ©pendante hexagonale

Une annonce retentissante pour le catch français

Une collaboration inédite entre deux promotions ambitieusesLa nouvelle est tombée via les réseaux sociaux de la Banger Zone Wrestling et de Rixe, provoquant une onde de choc immédiate chez les fans. Les deux promotions françaises ont officialisé la venue de Mercedes Moné pour leur événement commun intitulé « Apogée ». Cette alliance stratégique illustre la volonté des acteurs du catch indépendant français de franchir un cap en attirant des talents internationaux de premier plan.

Le show se tiendra le 14 mars à Dreux, dans la région Centre-Val de Loire. Le choix de cette ville confirme la volonté des organisateurs de décentraliser les grands événements et de proposer une offre ambitieuse au public en dehors des grandes métropoles traditionnelles.

Un événement déjà trÚs attendu par le public

DĂšs l’annonce rendue publique, les rĂ©actions enthousiastes se sont multipliĂ©es sur les rĂ©seaux sociaux. Les fans français, privĂ©s de ce type d’apparition depuis plusieurs annĂ©es, voient dans cette venue une opportunitĂ© rare d’assister Ă  une performance d’envergure internationale sur le sol national.

Le show « ApogĂ©e » s’annonce ainsi comme un rendez-vous majeur pour les amateurs de catch, bien au-delĂ  du cercle habituel des initiĂ©s. La prĂ©sence de Mercedes MonĂ© confĂšre Ă  l’évĂ©nement une visibilitĂ© et une crĂ©dibilitĂ© inĂ©dites pour les promotions impliquĂ©es.

Mercedes Moné, une figure majeure du catch mondial

Une carriĂšre marquĂ©e par l’excellence et la reconnaissance

Connue pendant de nombreuses annĂ©es sous le nom de Sasha Banks Ă  la WWE, Mercedes MonĂ© s’est imposĂ©e comme l’une des catcheuses les plus influentes de sa gĂ©nĂ©ration. Multiple championne dans la plus grande fĂ©dĂ©ration mondiale, elle a contribuĂ© Ă  redĂ©finir la place des femmes dans le catch professionnel.

Depuis son dĂ©part de la WWE, la catcheuse de 34 ans poursuit une trajectoire remarquĂ©e sur le circuit indĂ©pendant international. Elle enchaĂźne les apparitions dans diffĂ©rentes promotions, consolidant son statut de star mondiale capable d’attirer les foules partout oĂč elle se produit.

Une relation déjà établie avec le public français

La venue annoncĂ©e Ă  Dreux ne sera pas une premiĂšre pour Mercedes MonĂ© en France. Sa derniĂšre apparition dans l’Hexagone remonte Ă  2022, lorsqu’elle avait participĂ© Ă  un live event organisĂ© par la WWE. Ce passage avait dĂ©jĂ  suscitĂ© un engouement notable parmi les fans français.

Son retour, cette fois-ci dans un cadre indĂ©pendant, revĂȘt toutefois une dimension particuliĂšre. Il tĂ©moigne de l’évolution du catch français, dĂ©sormais en mesure d’accueillir des talents de cette envergure hors du circuit des grandes multinationales.

Un rendez-vous symbolique pour la scÚne indépendante

Une opportunité majeure pour la BZW et Rixe

Pour la Banger Zone Wrestling et Rixe, accueillir Mercedes MonĂ© reprĂ©sente un tournant stratĂ©gique. Cette annonce positionne clairement les deux promotions parmi les acteurs les plus dynamiques du catch français actuel. En s’associant pour organiser « ApogĂ©e », elles affirment leur capacitĂ© Ă  proposer un produit attractif et compĂ©titif Ă  l’échelle europĂ©enne.

La venue d’une catcheuse de ce calibre pourrait Ă©galement renforcer l’intĂ©rĂȘt du public et des mĂ©dias pour les Ă©vĂ©nements indĂ©pendants, souvent relĂ©guĂ©s Ă  une visibilitĂ© plus confidentielle.

Une domination à poursuivre sur le sol français

Mercedes MonĂ© s’est forgĂ© une rĂ©putation solide sur le circuit indĂ©pendant en remportant des titres dans de nombreuses compagnies Ă  travers le monde. Cette habitude de marquer chaque promotion de son empreinte alimente naturellement les attentes autour de sa performance Ă  Dreux.

Si aucune information supplĂ©mentaire n’a Ă©tĂ© communiquĂ©e concernant son rĂŽle exact lors du show « ApogĂ©e », sa seule prĂ©sence suffit dĂ©jĂ  Ă  transformer l’évĂ©nement en rendez-vous incontournable. Les interrogations restent ouvertes quant Ă  l’impact qu’elle laissera sur la scĂšne française.La venue de Mercedes MonĂ© le 14 mars prochain symbolise une nouvelle Ă©tape pour le catch en France. Elle illustre l’attractivitĂ© croissante des promotions indĂ©pendantes et leur capacitĂ© Ă  s’inscrire dans une dynamique internationale.

Le show « ApogĂ©e » s’annonce d’ores et dĂ©jĂ  comme l’un des Ă©vĂ©nements majeurs de l’annĂ©e pour les passionnĂ©s. Une chose est certaine : le catch français n’a jamais semblĂ© aussi proche de son apogĂ©e.

Urgency

As always, I continue my project of self-improvement. I’ve long been aware that I take on too much— and yet, all efforts to “take on less” only seem to lessen the problem; Like pulling Dandelion weeds but not getting the entire root out. I’ve made an insane effort in countless ways over several decades to make progress towards “take on less.” I’ve long known there must be something underlying.

I love to use a tool I refer to as a “wedge”, to affect changes by altering the normal sequence of things. A wedge can be used to create a space for consideration, to divert my thinking, or to initiate (or change) an activity. It works because the presence of the wedge alters the mental context. My mind proceeds from idea to idea, with an evolving context for that thinking. As the context changes, it constrains—or maybe, “helps select” is a better description—what ideas are going to come to the fore of my mind next. Trains of thought develop this way. The inserted wedge causes, (if it’s done right,) enough of a shift in my mental context.

It’s really difficult to have the wedge be a thought. But orange sticky notes work well. (Until you no longer notice them, of course.)

The action of this wedge is to make me think about why I’m about to do this next thing that feels so urgent.

“Is it really [urgent]?”

like, how a smoke detector sounding off is urgent? Okay, so it’s not that urgent.

“Where does that feeling [of urgency] arise?”

And that is where my train of thought shifts. (So far it has been every time I’ve felt urgency to do something.) Because the feeling comes from my desire for control; There are countless examples. That explains why I’m forever taking on too much.

“Sit with that?”
Sit with that realization that the urgency is a reaction to a desire for control. Sit with the knowledge that every attempt at control—all types, all sizes, all shapes, all degrees
 attempted control of anything external—has never ended well for me.

That’s not hyperbole.

Angela my sweet ornament
sparkles majestically
from the #apogee
of my Christmas tree

Alas her reign is annually
of a short lived duration
cause once the decorations
come down so does she

Packed away carefully
to protect her delicate frame
from the ravages of rough handling

She came to me in a dream
though so real she seemed
that I could touch her
and she me
in positions I knew not existed

Such was her level of expertise

Took me to the #apogee of passion

I died and went to heaven

Not literally

Cause when the bill came
my soul descended
to the nether place

Podcasting anniversary

I hope you have some way of sitting down and looking back on what you’ve actually accomplished. If you don’t, you’ll never notice what you’ve done; Instead you’ll only be able to stare at your imagined yet-to-do list.

I have a habit of looking back through my old journals to see what I’d written on the same date, years past. That’s the only way I can actually notice how much I’ve done, and how far I’ve come.

December 9, 2016 was the first time I recorded something, which led me directly into podcasting. It was a Skype call—yikes, dated memory—which I recorded for the purpose of getting a transcript.

At the time, I was trying to build a website where I was asking people to answer questions from a set list. But of course, writing is hard and it was a real struggle to get people to engage with doing it. So my friend Nick (who eventually appeared on the Movers Mindset podcast in, Play with Nick Anastasia, in 2022) said, let’s just record a Skype call and I’ll try writing something [answers to my movement related questions] from that. At the time, I tried to do some transcribing, gave up and sent it to rev.com for (I think it was) a $1/minute for human transcription. Yow, time and technology fly. And the rest is history.

Before dawn

I’m not sure if it’s the silence, or the darkness. Maybe it’s the fact that pre-dawn there are two kinds of people, those who are sleeping and those who are up attacking their day and I prefer to be the later. (Although, it’s a physical fight with my body every morning.)

There’s a time and place for most everything. Writing, for example, seems best done in the early morning. Vacationing seems best done at the end of summer. Hard labor seems best done in one’s 20s.

I wonder when is the best time for introspection?

Sunday, fireside

Learning to create spaces is one of those super-power life skills that they don’t—or at least, they didn’t, I don’t know about now—teach in school. But I’m not sure you could have taught this to me in school. Probably best that they didn’t even try. I had to discover for myself how much it matters to have a space, a context, and a set of expectations in which to do
 well
 everything that matters.

The things I use to create a space certainly don’t need to be expensive. They do need to be purposeful. My particular chair that I use for reading. My gel pens that have served faithfully for years. (A parade of clones, not one super-pen.) The keyboard and large screen for programming. The physical-paper books I generally prefer.


and then comes the intention. Why am I reading? Why am I writing? Why am I having this conversation, or that experience?

Well tonight I officially retired my #Apogee #Quartet after nearly 15 years of faithful service. When I purchased the Apogee #Symphony for my primary system I moved the Quartet to my secondary system. Today I figured I’d try updating the control panel app. The app can see the Quartet but the system can’t. *sigh* I have a #Presonus Studio 2|4 I can use while I try and figure out my next moves, although I’m tempted to just hang tough with my current setup.
