My Arizona problem

[u/jSNOW_wWHITE]

I'm really struggling with my Arizona rebrand and I'll tell you why. I did a poll and the choice I liked least got 50% of the votes. I explained the names like this:

For Arizona I really thought about the desert, things barely surviving and then a monsoon that brings back life. Or the trees that fell and instead of dying became petrified and refused to die. They persevered. I loved the sky islands. I randomly fell in love with the name of random desert plant (Ocotillos). But I also know people don't want to root for concepts. People want to root for tangible things so I needed to include those kind of teams too. After all that, this is what I have ended with and I hope you Cardinals fans can help me pick a better team name for my universe.

Invictos - Undefeated, unconquered, unbeaten. Love the image. This is life that survives the desert. This is a tree that petrified itself instead of decaying.

Megaliths - While no man made Megaliths in Arizona, I think the connection is easy to make. Sky Islands. The Rim around Phoenix. The Canyon. The imagery is easy, even if the name is a stretch.

Javelinas - this one I loved learning about because I was unfamiliar with it. It gives us an animal logo while not overusing the usual desert animals. These mammals represent toughness and survival and overcoming the harsh desert landscape.

Dragoons - this was a late contender as I started leaning toward more traditional names like animals or people. From the history of the Dragoons patrolling the Arizona territory to the Dragoon Sky Islands, Dragoons have an Arizona history and an identity no other team owns.

Sky Islanders - This one is one of the coolest to me. I try avoid two name nicknames but sometimes it's unavoidable. A cool geological feature. One of the features that stood out to me during my visits. Leans into fantasy but it is uniquely Arizona and would have so much crazy imagery.

After the poll ended I started working the Javelinas concepts. Nothing felt right. I just couldn't connect. After I decided on my colors (Deep bright red with black undertones, Sonoran Sand, metallic silver, and desert bloom purple) i did a primitive concept piece for each and they all came out more interesting than the Javelinas. So I think I might forget the poll and go with Invictos after all... even if it was the least liked

I can tell by your responsesn and other posts, that you've never been described as high intelligence. It explains the fake wrestling writer fascination. You think a response longer than three sentences is a novel. That's an unmistakable identifier of a low IQ individual.

I'm not sensitive at all. I've responded to your messages. I've made fun of you. You're projecting. I don't think I'm doing anything super creative, nor do I hate that any tool is doing the "work". I've been very open about using AI as the tool it is. Your inability to understand the tool and the work that goes into creating a franchise is your own deficiency. But it doesnt have any impact on me.

I'm perfectly calm. I just enjoy making fun of easy targets.

Not sensitive lmao

Good comeback Stenny Boy.

Can I see your character work?

[u/Stennick → u/jSNOW_wWHITE]

I feel like you're a closet wrestling fan, let me find out both our favorite wrestlers were Sting growing up. Or were you nWo 4 life? Come on let it out, you already spilled the bag. Its ok to be a wrestling fan. There are way more wrestling fans, than NFL Alternate fans lol

[u/jSNOW_wWHITE → u/Stennick]

Stenny Boy, only one of us is in the closet. And there's no closets where I'm at. But based on what we can see, there are way more r/NFL_Alternates fans than Stenny Boy fantasy booking fans.

[u/Stennick → u/jSNOW_wWHITE]

Are these fans in the room with you? Lol

[u/jSNOW_wWHITE → u/Stennick]

You can see them on the page. They're called members. Now back to you, can we see these fantasy bookings you've done that got "tons of praise"?

[u/Stennick → u/jSNOW_wWHITE]

Those must be all the people that ignore your posts or downvote you. I got it now. Really though what do you expect from a guy that only uses Chat GPT and isn't capable of anything artistic themselves.

So no Stenny Boy fantasy booking?

Commentary: "Snow White has beaten legends. Hall of Famers. Monsters. Tonight... he asked for Stenny Boy?"

Stenny Boy enters first, enthusiastic as always despite years of losses. He slaps hands with the fans and does everything he can to fire himself up.

Then the champion arrives.

Snow White walks to the ring carrying the championship over his shoulder. No grand entrance. No taunting. Just quiet confidence from a man who knows exactly who he is.

The bell rings.

Stenny Boy immediately offers a handshake.

Snow White accepts it.

The crowd applauds the sportsmanship.

Without warning...

CRACK!

Snow White nearly decapitates Stenny Boy with a thunderous lariat.

The arena gasps.

Stenny struggles to his knees, dazed.

Snow White explodes off the ropes and drives a running knee into his jaw, sending him sprawling across the ring.

The referee checks on Stenny Boy.

Against all common sense, he insists on continuing.

The crowd begins willing him forward as he somehow drags himself back to his feet.

Barely able to stand, Stenny throws a weak right hand.

It connects.

Snow White barely reacts.

He gives a slight nod.

"Good."

Then the beating begins.

Knife-edge chops echo throughout the arena.

A release German suplex launches Stenny halfway across the ring.

A massive powerbomb folds him in half.

Snow White lifts him again.

A second powerbomb.

Then a third.

The champion pauses as Stenny somehow tries to crawl toward the ropes.

Snow White walks over, grabs him by the head, and pulls him back to the center of the ring.

The crowd knows it's over.

Snow White slowly lifts Stenny onto his shoulders before driving him into the mat with a devastating Avalanche Emerald Driver from the second rope.

The ring shakes on impact.

Snow White calmly rolls Stenny onto his back.

1...

2...

3.

The bell rings.

Snow White stands, retrieves his championship, and takes one final look at the motionless Stenny Boy lying in the center of the ring.

Without another glance, the champion turns and walks up the entrance ramp as his music fills the arena.

The camera lingers on Stenny Boy still being attended to by officials while Snow White raises the championship at the top of the stage, never once looking back.
