Two funny (insane) takeaways: He has his own fashion mask He wrote a tribute to Jeremy Bulloch that points to them having been friends on the autograph convention scene. Other than that it seems pretty low key for Brimstone. twitter.com/entrancetohell?lang=en

I'm surprised Brimstone would bother with a platform that only allows 280 characters.

He just got cast in a fighting game called Cereal Killer. He's playing a Tony the Tiger ripoff if I remember right. I dunno why I posted this haha

This looks like utter garbage and I can't wait to see it.

It's good I am not Tony Khan, because I would 100 percent book him on a random Dark getting beaten by Lance Archer for the sake of doing it.

I wonder where he's placed himself on his list of "biggest hellish badasses", whatever one of those is.
I've also noticed he's venturing into the world of motivational quotes, which seem to consist of "quit your 9 to 5 and invest in yourself", with nothing on how one invests in themselves. I assume he means everyone should buy a really gnarly pair of custom boots and the success and money will come afterwards.

I assume he means everyone should buy a really gnarly pair of custom boots and the success and money will come afterwards. I love if it's as direct as that. Reminds me of Raven saying that in his Scotty Flamingo, etc, days, he'd hit up thrift stores and other places to get sunglasses and jackets and other costume pieces, and that giving a shit about presentation was something that made an early difference in his career compared to more complacent indy guys. That's probably less of an issue these days, but hey, custom boots can't hurt.

I'd be curious how many of his followers are real. His tweets get so little engagement if you look through his profile, yet he has like 33k followers. Considering how he created and maintained a bloated wikipedia page for himself, I could see him buying followers or using whatever gimmicks to get fake followers.

If you google Brimstone Wrestler there's a funny post on a site about a guy whose relative or friend knows a guy who claims he was a wrestler but no information on him exist. It is Brimstone and someone posts "the minute I saw this post I knew it had to be Brimstone." I actually think Brim has a unique look, moreso than other indy guys. Maybe he wouldn't be WWE material without a lot of work by himself and creative but definitely better in appearance your normal plain trunks indy guys. He could have been something on the indy circuit but I guess it works better for him fibbing about his career.

My stance on Brimstone is that everything he does and says makes way more sense if you put quotation marks around every few words of anything he says about himself.

Most of his stuff is pretty lame but there was a funny one where he calls out unnamed guy Brim says sells "special pillows" and calls him a "snake oil salesman" which was related to the man thinking he had a cure for covid, IIRC. Of course it's Mike Lindell of My Pillow fame. Brim is probably jealous he didn't have the idea first. Much like Brim Mike is a huge self promoter though he is obviously much more successful. I'd rather buy my cheap retail store pillows but I respect Mike for overcoming his severe drug addiction to get to the point he is today.
There's also a nice tribute to Shad Gaspard but to me is overshadowed by a photo of Brim getting up to Shad and taking a selfie with him and Kevin Smith. Brim posts as if they had been real close but I highly doubt Shad even knew Brimstone and of course Kevin wouldn't either.

]Brimstone is still a thing? When was Brimstone ever a thing?[/quote] I'll never forget looking at Dawn Marie's Wrestler's Rescue website in 2008, advertising an autograph show featuring many WWE legends from the 80s and then this guy named Brimstone. I was like "HUH? Who the heck is this guy?" I probably knew of him years before his internet infamy took off. You guys should also check out a guy named "Jerry Seavey." He is a Killer Kowalski trainee who came up with a gimmick called "Candy Man" where he dresses in candy cane colors and portrays himself as a former WWE star. He did appear on a few 1990s episodes of either Challenge or Superstars but as a no gimmick jobber. He had a few tag matches IIRC against Quebeccers and Money Inc.

I could see a decent chunk of them being people who followed him ironically due to his meme status to some fans, and then just kinda forgot about him and didn't bother to unfollow.

Brimstone had COVID, actually, and it was pretty serious for awhile. He's probably pissed at Lindell for being a scumbag about it.
He's my second cousin (or third cousin? I can't remember) and my mom keeps in touch with his mom, so I hear this stuff through the family pipeline.
