Wrestling Series

Other languages:

Wrestling Series (Japanese: レスリングシリーズ Hepburn: Resuringu Shirizu), primarily used for Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling (ガチムチパンツレスリング Gatimuti Pantsu Resuringu; GPW) videos, is a Niconico tag referring to overseas (to the Japanese) films that feature adults and adult filmography. The tag was first created in part thanks to American Gay Wrestling (アメリカンゲイレスリング; アメゲイ Amegay) on April 26, 2007.

Overview

The origin (or movement) of the tag began when a user in a "Nico Nico Animation Support" thread on the 2channel YouTube board, made a ranking of gay wrestling videos as dated around the end of August of 2007.

Initially the gay wrestling videos were used as a tool of harassment via bait-and-switch (attract a lot of viewers then swiftly subvert expectations) videos; par for the course of the time period. However, the rich enjoyment taken from the gay wrestling videos was increasing, was discovered to have amazing soramimi, and the sound of spanking were amazing materials used for MAD videos. To date, a large majority and number of MAD videos have been created, with a wide variety of variations. In addition to all of this, Wrestling Series MADs boasts the highest quality and scale in Niconico due to fans getting into the fandom.

The videos of the Wrestling Series have become increasingly popular due to the authentic fanmade festivals such as Gay Year's Eve, Valentine's Gay, and White Gay and about 9 out of the top 300 rankings on July 14, 2008, were focused on Aniki's birthday; making his birthday, among the other Characters' birthdays, another tradition.

Tag

Videos from the Wrestling Series are often tagged as Philosophy and Forest Fairy. Also, tags that arrange the nouns and quotes that appear in the source material of the gay wrestling videos, in the specific manner of gay material, low-life material, and Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling material are often made and have gained popularity. There are many tag craftsmen.

Examples

Soramimi quote tags like Yugami nee na, Shinnippori, "You have good eyes, cactus.", "Thank you, Kiyoshi-san...", "Let me go, Jonouchi...".
Outside fandom Niconico tags (to be converted to in-joke or soramimi tags) like Metal Gear Solid and the Touhou Project.
Character pseudonyms.

The bike on which Aniki is riding in the video above from the film The Big One in California, "Road King" is one of the models representing Harley-Davidson in the United States. Rumors of Aniki's bike sprung up. The current new car is a luxury motorcycle that costs about 2.5 million yen (250万円) in Japanese currency; the equivalent of $22,839 USD. The windshield attached to the motorcycle was removed to give Aniki more breathing room to see while driving it. Aniki had also customized the motorcycle by giving it a leather case under its front lights.
