21 years old here. I can remember every aspect of this prep since it was my first time after failing miserably years before. Wasn’t by far my best stage package, but the experience was everlasting. 10 years ago today. Miss this a lot.

Heavily encourage anyone that has any aspirations out there to chase until you achieve your level of success. Not what social status quo demands. taken in New Castle Iron Works Gym by @tcg_mark

This Spider-Man Scene Changed EVERYTHING for Doomsday & Secret Wars..

I keep seeing the same reaction to Spider-Man’s post credit scene…but honestly I think most people are looking at it the wrong way.

Connecting to back to 2015’s Secret Wars Comic run brings out the impact of this scene.

This is just my theory, but I’d love to hear yours👇

-And here it is for everyone. This is what I've been working towards for years now. This is all the time, effort, and energy I've put into this sport. -It is such a humbling experience to be able to present to the world what you represent. And I hope that you can all see through the display of the routine. -Such a surreal feeling of relief at the end, you can literally see it in my expression and demeanor. And I had to rush to get off the stage at the end from the tears and emotion pumping through my body. -Thank you to all who have followed me through this prep, and from the start. This is what it's all about. Life and growth.
ENJOY!

Did Marvel WASTE Mysterio Too Soon?! 👀

Marvel has a bad habit of introducing great Spider-Man villains… and then getting rid of them way too fast.

Mysterio is one character we wish would’ve stuck around a lot longer.

But with Secret Wars coming…

could Marvel actually find a way to bring him back? 👀

I can’t get over how personable he is this young.

I opened his door and he ran out, jumped in my lap, and waited for me to feed him. Just sat there and waited patiently for me to get his food out.

We’re gona be up, running, and ready for show and tell very soon ✅

Huge shoutout to @bigsalsfeederfarm for all the help in picking this guy out. They have a huge inventory of everything you need for any reptile set up, and live animals! They are local to my hometown crowd. Couldn’t recommend them any more.

What If Doctor Doom Becomes the MCU’s NEW Tony Stark?! 👀

What if Doctor Doom spends most of Avengers: Doomsday working WITH the heroes?

We think Doom could end up becoming one of the Multiverse’s biggest decision-makers — potentially even working alongside an Illuminati-type group and filling the role Tony Stark once had.

And if Marvel really does connect Doom and Tony somehow… that comparison gets even crazier. 👀

Would you rather see Doom start as an ally—or be the villain from minute one?

This October marks 23 years since my father passed away. And this year, I decided to do something that brought back one of the most meaningful memories I have of him.

I still remember my very first day of kindergarten. I got off the school bus, and my dad was waiting there for me. He told me he had a surprise, and as we walked home together, I had no idea what was waiting for me.

When we got inside, there it was. A baby bearded dragon in a fully set-up tank, waiting for me.

I can’t even begin to describe the happiness I felt in that moment. It’s one of those core childhood memories that has stayed with me my entire life.

But looking back now, what makes that memory even more special isn’t just the bearded dragon itself. It’s remembering how much my dad loved that little guy, too.

He was just as excited as I was. I remember how much he genuinely enjoyed keeping reptiles, taking care of our little buddy, and sharing that experience with me. I can still picture us spending hours together, taking him out of his tank, playing with him, and going on our little adventures.

Those are the moments I wish I could experience just one more time.

So, 23 years later, I decided to revisit a piece of my childhood and bring home another baby bearded dragon of my own.

And I never expected just how much happiness this little guy would bring me already. It’s funny how something so small can bring back so many memories, emotions, and moments you haven’t thought about in years.

In a way, it feels like life has come full circle. What started as a surprise from my dad all those years ago has now become a way for me to reconnect with a piece of him.

Some memories never leave us. And sometimes, we find little ways to relive them.

Rest easy, Dad. I wish you were here to meet this little guy.

Welcome to the family, Peter “Pip.” 🦎

Smaller by the day.

In all seriousness I just want to stress this. If you are dieting, and you’re not miserable…you’re not dieting.

What If Doctor Doom REMEMBERS Being Tony Stark?! 😳

What if Doom doesn’t just LOOK like Tony Stark…

What if he actually remembers being him?

Imagine Doom has been watching major moments across the Multiverse — including Thanos killing another version of himself in Endgame — before ever meeting our heroes.

If Marvel actually goes this direction in Avengers: Doomsday… that reveal could be absolute chaos. 👀

The Tony Stark and Doctor Doom Connection Goes WAY Deeper than the MCU 👀

ony Stark and Doctor Doom have a MUCH stranger history in the comics than a lot of MCU fans realize.

One of the craziest examples is Demon in an Armor — and with Marvel deliberately connecting Tony Stark imagery to Doctor Doom, I don’t think that’s something we should ignore.
This is only ONE part of my theory.

I broke down all 4 of the new Marvel post-credit scenes, what I think each one means, and how they could be setting up Doomsday AND Secret Wars in the full video on The Cool Guys Cast YouTube channel.

🎥 Full breakdown on YouTube — link in bio.

“YOU MESS WITH TIME…IT TENDS TO MESS BACK.” 👀

After watching Endgame: Encore, I don’t think Marvel bringing back the sound of Tony Stark forging his first Iron Man suit while showing Doctor Doom forging his mask was just a nostalgic callback.

Especially after rewatching Endgame.

Tony spends the movie fighting to protect the life he built with Pepper and Morgan.

Tony ultimately loses that life.

Steve goes back in time to get his.

And Tony warned everyone what happens when you start messing with time…

Now add Marvel’s history of connecting Tony Stark and Victor von Doom in the comics, Secret Wars, incursions, and everything Marvel just showed us in Endgame: Encore.

I think there’s a much bigger story being set up here.

What if Doctor Doom is literally time “messing back”? 🤯

And what if Tony and Steve’s endings weren’t just the end of the Infinity Saga… but the beginning of Doom’s story?

Am I onto something or reaching with this one? 👇

DOCTOR DOOM IS A TONY STARK VARIANT?!👀

Marvel brought Robert Downey Jr. back for Doctor Doom…

And we still don’t believe that choice is as simple as “RDJ is just playing Victor von Doom.”
Why bring back the face of Tony Stark at the END of the Multiverse Saga unless that face actually matters?

With Avengers: Endgame — Encore putting Tony, Doom and Doomsday back into the conversation, this theory feels a LOT more interesting right now. 👀

What if the Doom we’re about to meet is somehow a Tony Stark variant?

Or do you think Marvel is really going to make him completely separate from Tony?

👇 Pick a side.
