From Bold to Trolled - WingsOfRedemption's Story (Jordie Jordan)

jordy jordan better known as wings or redemption is a 33 year old live streamer whose youtube origins predate even the most infamous content creators once one of the largest and fastest growing content creators out there has since then crossed paths with the many other titans of youtube though in most cases these interactions would end poorly for him and his channel as each interaction in its own way would act as a catalyst that would only serve to accelerate jordy's downfall as throughout his online career he has seen a slow controversies from bursting out of rage during

a livestream call of duty match all while insulting his co-host and threatening the life of his opponent to more serious aggressions where he will threaten suicide along with threatening the lives of others this can be attributed to a volatile mix of his ill-temper and in consideration for others even with his infamous persona many fellow content creators would attempt to rejuvenate his dying channel by providing or suggesting different forms of content but due to his lack of commitment would lead to further failures and finally as he moved on to live streaming would get notoriety for the

various outbursts he would have and would build a community of trolls that make up a large portion of his ever decreasing viewer base but even still very few know of his origins which is where we'll start born on april 21st 1986 in conway south carolina jordy jordan's birth was a result of a teenage pregnancy where due to his parents adolescence he would live with his grandparents in their trailer and at the age of two geordi's alcoholic father would abandon the family four years later in 1992 jordy would experience his first serious injury while playing baseball

with his younger brother the bat slipped out of his brother's hand hit jordy's head and cracked his skull he would then be rushed to the hospital where they would perform surgery in order to reduce brain swelling he would later make a full recovery though it is unclear if this injury impaired his cognitive abilities regardless he would remain an active child as one year later in 1993 jordy was seven years old attending elementary school in the third grade where due to his fit physique would excel in physical education as he would always finish top of the

class that was until an athletic exchange student joined the school which would leave jordi finishing second place in most events that in turn made him feel awful as he recalls this was a turning point in his life where many more mistakes would ensue as his solution to beating this exchange student was to increase his calorie intake as he thought eating more would excel as growth and in turn make him the better athlete so he would approach his grandmother for additional servings and without questioning why she would always provide the food he will then slowly start

the transition from a thin active child to an isolated obese one he would also develop a sort of bowlegginess where his knees would remain far apart even when standing up and as his school years progressed he will be made fun of and struggle to make friends so he would retreat into video games as he could no longer viably compete in sports jordy his brother and his mother would soon move into section 8 housing which is a low-income housing for those in need also known as the projects during this time he would be given an identification

card as many children were getting kidnapped in the area that he lived in fast forward to high school jordy was a six foot tall 240 pound triple teenager and would be taken to a psychologist where he will be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and sociophobia being that he suffered from these conditions he was mostly kept to himself that was until freshman year where he would meet his first true friend kelly he would then be introduced to dungeons and dragons and develop a small group of friends it was also around this time where he would get a

second serious injury as one day after coming home from school someone was trying to break into his mother's car geordi then shouted at the burglar which startled him and caused him to flee and while doing so he would fire his gun at jordy striking him once in the leg and again he would make a full recovery he would then begin working at a grocery store where his main tasks were to relabel products and clean the store shelves though because of the repetitive nature and the border that jordy would have during this job he would quit

just two weeks after being hired he would then find work at a video rental store known as the movie gallery where his most memorable experience there would be an armed robbery by a trio of armed assailants after this and approaching the end of high school he would work as a domino's delivery driver where again while delivering a pizza to an apartment complex in a low-income side of town he would take the butt of a shotgun to his back subsequently knocking him on the floor where the assailants will pick his pockets and take 20 from him

he would also be suspended from his job due to an altercation with the area supervisor he would then graduate high school and look for work elsewhere where he would then be hired as a 9-1-1 operator but again due to his poor work ethic will leave this job after only two weeks of employment his fifth and final job was one he took seriously at around the age of 19 jordi would begin employment and mick lass incorporated a factory that specializes in producing an amorphous metal known as meclasse mainly in the form of courts and was funded

through various contractors the largest one being from china that used these cords and assembling power line transformers as at the time china was redoing its electrical system in the factory itself jordy would go through working in various positions one of which was a crane operator where he would be earning around 25 an hour working 12 hour shifts five days a week which adds up to six thousand dollars a month he would stay at this job for an estimated three years where the only thing that he would do outside of work was sleep eat and play

video games that was until the stock market crash of 2007. now banks were more cautious to who they lent their money to and being that most of the funding for med class was done through loans taken out by these chinese companies meant that instead of ordering med class in bulk as they had two years worth of back orders they would instead purchase significantly smaller amounts of the product until depleted then order a small amount again this would lead to employees averaging three hour work days and have the company eventually laying off the majority of the

workforce which included geordie though for most this was a temporary layoff as they stated that they will call these employees back if production had picked up again leaving geordi once again unemployed but this time he'll qualify for unemployment meaning that he will get paid a fraction of what he used to make to sustain him while he looked for another job which through this his friend z7 taylor would introduce him to youtube as he would help with the production of videos and try to figure out the best way to upload videos to the site the content

of these videos being from one of his favorite games at the time call of duty world at war both jordy and taylor had purchased the dazzle capture card but only taylor would upload videos on his channel with the footage obtained by it jordy would instead go an alternate route and spend 200 dollars for a hall page hd pvr that would allow him to record in high definition and after seeing the attention taylor had gotten and reading his viewers comments he then decided to begin uploading videos of his own and on october 1st 2009 jordy's first

video will be uploaded under his channel name wings of redemption the name is inspired by the encryption on king tut's tomb that reads quote death shall come on swift wings to whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh unquote or wings a redemption as described by jordy is the antithesis of this as he explains just as death comes fast so can redemption and that you can change your life around at any given time which is possibly how he saw his channel it wasn't until his third video 23 days after the release of his first video that

he will start adding commentary over his videos hello hello hello uh hi again this is my first commentary and here we go from here he'll begin uploading consistently and being that there were a miniscule amount of gameplay videos on youtube and even fewer commentators meant that wings video easily stood out from the rest especially for those that had the bandwidth to view them in the higher resolution that he offered as within a month he had accumulated over 1 000 subscribers he also got another break as a fairly large commentator known as hutch is yo daddy

would give a shout out to taylor's channel boosting a subscriber count from 4 000 to 10 000 and with jordy's association with taylor he will quadruple a sub count all this happening in less than a month's time though wing's channel would see a healthy growth and positive community feedback it wouldn't take long for him to stumble upon his first controversy where in a now deleted video he would announce hutch's your daddy's tactic of quick scoping with sniper rifles in game as he'll point out the impossibility of such a technique working in a real life scenario

and that it wasn't realistic nor how the game should be played but viewers will be quick to defend hutch and point out several flaws and wings his own techniques such as how in a good portion of his videos he would camp or stay in one spot while aiming down his sights so when an enemy approached him he would have an overwhelming advantage towards the opposing player wings and hutch would also have a debate about this each defending their playstyle where hutch would state that wings was undeserving of the hate he was getting though this would

do little to suppress a slow growing hatred for wings regardless his channel would continue to grow exponentially catching the eyes of machinima an exclusive network partnered with youtube that allowed content creators to earn revenue from their videos four months later wings of redemption had accumulated 48 000 subscribers and would begin to diversify his content by including videos of other games or random vlog or review he had also collaborated with various different content creators within the call of duty community most notably fps kyle later known as fps russia and what is gamertag and one day when

talking in skype they would decide their conversations would be fitting for our podcast as there were many lingering podcasts mostly focusing on call of duty and the gameplay but their approach to a podcast would be slightly different than the rest as they would transition from doing pre-recorded shows to later streaming it on justin tv later known as twitch tv they also wouldn't limit themselves to gaming and would conversate about any given topic generally with a special guest star usually another content creator to spice things up this podcast would give insight to the personal ongoings of

each of the host's lives such as wings's arsenal i have 46 weapons and most some of them are fully automatic well mine are to shoot the cats that come in the backyard but i don't really want to find r2 i don't actually hit any of them this podcast would also uncover the deaths of wings's ill-temper that was my rage story but wings you're clearly gonna win this 18 ps3 controllers three xbox controllers two tvs one keyboard one handgun oh god okay gun yeah but i live in a double wide trailer and basically what we did

was we cemented the foundation and put the footers into the cement and then bricked under the house and made brick porches well i got mad and i i didn't want to because this just happened after i busted a tv i busted like a 32 inch hd tv i just kicked my foot right through it and uh so i grabbed this high point handgun which i had at the time and i took the clip out and i threw it and then i got went out on the porch and i just spiked the [ __ ] cuz

i was still mad and this just went in pieces it warped the frame of the gun all this he was well known at the time mostly in the creator community for becoming irate to the slightest provocation in video games where he would usually blame any shortcomings on his team and when playing privately with wings a poor performance could result with you being shouted at by him and then being deleted from his friends list something that he had done with all his ps3 friends that he obtained pre-youtube as for the ones he couldn't easily throw away

such as other content creators he would instead abruptly leave the game and cut contact until he had calmed down few users will learn about this and try to befriend him which will lead to a build up of various videos all with the same goal but addressed in different ways that being how he tries to discourage his viewers from messaging him attempting to add him on the playstation friends list and attempt to join his call duty session in progress these videos of course would have the opposite of its intended effect and possibly give more attention to

the problem this was not the only shortcoming he had with trying to connect with his community as by august 5th 2010 he had blocked a total of 11 000 viewers from his channel meaning they could not comment or view his videos and to give some perspective on how large this number really was he had about 90 000 subscribers at the time meaning that one-tenth of his possible subscribers would belittle him in some way it was also around this time that he would receive his first paycheck after seven months of being partnered with machinima and a

hefty one at that which will lead him to turn down a job offering from his previous employer meclasse moving on to 2011 with his newfound wealth he will begin making plans for weight loss surgery and within the podcast there would be the first mention of a weight loss boot camp for wings wings um you know that well everybody knows that you've been considering uh is it laparoscopic surgery i have that wrong the bandsaw lap band surgery thank you lap band surgery what what i'm doing right now is i'm on a low carb diet where i

basically eat like a lot of eggs chicken and meat um but i'm going to the doctor saturday his name is dr norman and um he's here in myrtle beach um and i'm basically going to be giving what you call a v12 shot and what it is is a shot they put into your stomach it's a big old long needle and um it increases your metabolism and there's a set of pills that go on there and just you kind of keep like perks you up and keeps your metabolism going keeps your heart rate up to try

to make your body a furnace full time to burn fat faster i'll tell you what you need wings you need a personal trainer a russian personal trainer oh if only i knew a guy yeah russia needs to be in it and he needs to be like whipping you from behind you'd be like running up hills with that bad boy and three weeks later a mention of a wilderness survival trip i heard someone wants to take a sleeping bag a 22 rifle and some flint to go survive out in the wilderness magnesium it's easier than flint

magnesium is the way to go at this time things will be going pretty great for wings as in april this year he will meet chalene his first serious girlfriend that he had met from the dating site plenty of fish and later have her and her two kids move out of her mom's house and into his modular trailer where wings would support the entire family as wings had convinced helene to quit her job and find one closer to his trailer but she never did and a month after they met he will be browsing one of his

local stores when he came across a donation box where the funds would go towards affording a hyperbaric oxygen treatment for a high school student suffering with cerebral palsy and as the donation box had very little money donated to it wings felt that with his status he could change that and would contact the coordinators of this charity and promise him that he could get ten thousand dollars if he uploaded a video for this cause so he did leaving a link in the description of this video where viewers could donate money towards a charity and within three

weeks eight thousand dollars had been raised ward wings would donate the remaining two thousand dollars out of pocket this for the most part would win over his fan base and he would seek out further charitable events that he could participate in though this love for him would not last long and that's because of painkiller already episode 67 episode 67 had the highest ranked call of duty zombies player at the time the syndicate project on as a guest at first this podcast went like any other they would open with strange yet comedic topics but when it

got to talking about syndicate and his strategies in call of duty zombies an area that wings had very little experience in things got a bit heated as wings would begin to trivialize the zombie game mode and claim that the multiplayer game mode was superior due to there being players to compete against and not ai he would also claim that he was a superior zombies player even with his little experience in the game mode and that he could easily compete with the syndicate project but as the realization came in that they could easily set this up

he would attempt to stop it while keeping his pride intact by citing such a competition could last for hours something not viable for a podcast is it was the easiest to do well on it's like crushing my game that i love like it is i personally myself i'm i am a very good player on the stick and you know what else he's uh modest there's no reason to be humble it's like i know i'm a good player my stats prove it say it to me say this you're talking to a guy who's probably four times

the multi-player that than you are yeah no better it doesn't matter there's no difference i'll do that you're talking to a guy i bet you zombie player you are i bet you right now i could get on zombies and stay toe for toe with tom and not even know the [ __ ] map let's stream you know why oh let's do it oh yeah there it is you know you know why i can do this because i use my brain i think well where's my back at oh yeah let's show it i'm not about to

go i'm not about to play six hours what you are not going to play six hours anyway and after a bit more debating to which was a superior game mode they would settle for a duel and multiplayer instead which was of course wings's area of expertise where he would select the map and the choice of weapons that was to be used he would also have a warm-up round with another member of the podcast while syndicate was setting up his xbox and once everything was set the match would begin with wings scoring the first few kills

and it seemed things were going in his favor until he started dying several times in a row this made things much more difficult for wings as his strategy consisting of staying in one spot and camping would no longer work now being that the game was timed he had to leave his capping spot to aggressively rush syndicate in hopes to tip the scale before the time ran out though this had very little success and with each additional death wings would get ever more furious until the tension of a silence was interrupted by a loud thump you

know like your commentator showdown goes on i knew that was a tough lobby to do well in but i was there wings did you spawn in i broke my controller you broke your controller [Laughter] yeah we've all been there man [ __ ] you me why the [ __ ] you stream that [ __ ] it was your idea it should be noted that right after the live stream had ended wings would threaten syndicate's life this was for some their turning point for wings of redemption some people even going as far as to re-upload the

entire match and others highlighting specific sections such as wings breaking its controller this would become one of the most memorable moments in the call of duty community that same day he would upload a video trying to defend his actions which only brought more attention to the match his following videos would get mass disliked where the dislikes well outnumbered the likes and a good portion of the comments would be a reference to the match even the few live streams that he did on justin tv would be clipped and recorded as he would have outburst a rage

not unlike what happened during the match with syndicate there would also be an attempt of a rematch where someone had offered 5 000 to the victor wings would then contact syndicate asking him to take a dive for a share of the money but syndicate will decline the match and this conversation will later be leaked by syndicate jordy i gotta deal with you i got alki david willing to put up five thousand usd syndicate dot dot dot jordi you get three thousand i get two thousand five hundred but i have to come out on top two

thousand sounds like a good deal or want no part of it syndicate no not at all i'm not taking part of that jordy it's free money syndicate i'd rather earn my money jordy well i need this kind of money i don't make two thousand five hundred dollars a day senecan it's regardless of the money you want to come out on top on the situation you just made it ten times worse jordy i got a family defeat so money is a big deal to me you said you wanted to bury the hatchet what better way we

both make money and i beat you like one kill in game five it's one thousand bucks to lose a game you're not expected to win i figured i'd offer it syndicate no wings you blew a big style syndicate has left though still over the course of two months the fallout of the match would gradually slow down where things would almost revert to how they were before and things for wings were still going fairly well he was earning over ten thousand dollars a month from his machinima contract and used a large portion of that to provide

for his girlfriend and her children that was until they broke up on march 8th of 2012 where we would later find out he had spent an estimated 80 thousand dollars to support them as over the course of the relationship he will purchase an suv for her to drive pay rent utilities pay for her daughter's dance lessons and various other amenities but five months after this he would begin seeing brandy a woman he had met again on plenty of fish though he'll be more cautious about spending money on her because channel began to stagnate at 400

000 subscribers and as he began getting lower view counts consequently his paychecks would also get smaller he would begin looking for a new form of content and what he ended up deciding was long-form content where instead of uploading several low effort videos a day he would take his time editing long form high quality videos and the trial run for this was his 100 million total views celebration video it would take him three days of editing to put this together but due to its poor editing and failure to portray a clear narrative that would well underperform

and would get the same amount of views as any other video he would then go out to twitter where he would tweet about ending his life and how difficult being him was many content creators would chime in on this they're most memorable being el presidor who will call out wings for falsely threatening to commit suicide something that wings had done many times before wings would respond by tweeting quote i've got a lot of guns i'll press the door and if i decide to kill myself i'm taking you with me unquote keemstar would then uncover this

and bring wings of redemption and several other commentators onto his podcast where it would turn into a sort of intervention for wings wings it's been kind of uh it's kind of been you versus the world tonight oh it's always me versus the world dude it's been like that for the last three years of my career i'm pretty well i'm pretty i'm pretty much you know you know scarface of the youtube community i'm the bad guy i'm the camper i'm the i'm everything [Music] why do you i i okay listen wings sometimes we as human beings

we just have to look down when things are tough and look at what we have i know i'm sounding like a hallmark what do i have keemstar i have a knife full of drama i have my el presto trying to get big off me by threatening to put the fbi i have one of the biggest channels in the gaming on youtube trying to shut me down while i'm having one of the worst months of my [ __ ] life what do i have wings think about what you just said you said that you have el

presidor trying to get big off of you now do you really do you really believe that do you really believe that el presidor is a [ __ ] leech no no no but what i'm saying is if if el presidor is really just trying to get big off you that is an awesome thing that's a compliment it's not an awesome thing it hits you all at once dude have you ever well you probably have you gotta look at it glass half full glass half empty you have so much and people in this community you know

look up to you all right they do they do people in the community actually look up to wings wings has been around for for forever and as much as people battle with you people do respect you you know and admire you look at how many people tune in to pka no offense to woody but if you were out of it it'd be probably like half the people there you know what i mean you got to think about what you have you put up life advice videos and people actually listen they take your advice you know

i mean sometimes you just have to look at your life look at what you have i've had so many different hats that i put on where you wings you've kind of just been the same guy for like five years you know what i mean maybe it's time to reinvent yourself and and and and the reason why i say this don't change but reinvented yeah because you uploaded the video and you were like i don't know what to do my channel anymore like if i if i get into drama you know i get views uh but

if i just upload a game play i only get 10 000. so maybe maybe there needs to be a wings talk show maybe there needs to be a wings in real life thing maybe there needs to be something different like reinvent yourself you know after this podcast wings would not take the advice of his colleagues and continue to upload the same style of content with a slight increase of his vlog videos but his decreasing view account wouldn't be the only problem as come january 2013 machinima would abruptly drop him from the network and instead of

partnering directly with youtube because you fear the lack of support that such a massive company would have he instead opted with partnering with full screen entertainment at a much lower pay than machinima offered and possibly due to his lack of motivation his video uploads would slow down instead of uploading three videos a day he will now upload one or on occasion one every three days which would cause his monthly views to dip from an average of 3 million in 2012 to 1.5 million in june it was this month that brandon would break up with him

prompting the creation of this now deleted video i can't afford to go get another girlfriend because i can't afford to take people out right now because i'm pretty much making no money every every month the red this is why this is why i [ __ ] on twitter all the time this is why people see me as a sad person it feels so long he will then create the one of many videos talking about how he wants to quit youtube and go back to school and how he doesn't like making videos for youtube nor playing

call of duty and the only reason he does it is for money with his podcast co-host seeing this they would continue to try to find ways to rejuvenate his channel which then prompted the proposition for the fps boot camp fps kyle invites wings overs to his house and offers to be his personal trainer for 30 days with the end goal being to lose 50 pounds and create a mini series of videos all recorded and edited by kyle to be uploaded to wings of redemption where to kyle's surprise wings would agree to do it at defunded

they set up an indiegogo fund that would end up raising upwards of nine thousand dollars this will be spent on remodeling kyle's bathroom to accommodate wings the meals and equipment that was to be used and the remaining amount to hire a personal trainer for post boot camp workouts and after the date was set and the bathroom was remodeled wings would arrive to cal's residence on october 28 2013 and will be placed on a 1 000 calorie a day diet the workouts would begin the following day and consist of random activities that were meant to keep

his heart rate up and within the first two weeks of this he had lost 25 pounds though he would feel that he hit a plateau and want to quit so that week on pka after discussing this this will become a kind of intervention where the host would cite the newfound support of his fans and how his channel had seen a tremendous growth with the bootcamp videos he's been uploading we've got all these people here trying to help you wings we're smashing our heads we're working on hour two of you telling me the same thing well

when are you gonna know what's that dumbass skull that we are trying to help you there are tens of thousands of people out there that are rooting for you and all you can do is sit there and say can't be bothered so he will continue onward and lose another 20 pounds where he will then leave to attend thanksgiving with his family he would then begin taking walks to maintain his weight and once all the indiegogo money had gone through he would then hire drew a personal trainer that would help him with lifestyle changes and would

somewhat befriend him but this will not last so long now in 2014 drew had been hired by a local gym where he had grandfathered in his clients but shortly after he would be fired from the gin for breaking gym protocol by sleeping with one of his clients leaving wings without a personal trainer as drew was trying to figure out what direction to take and meanwhile on pka while talking about survival shows such as man vs wild and survivor man the idea of a five-day wilderness survival trip will come to fruition with the attending members being

wings woody kyle and another member of the podcast known as lefty but lefty will be quick to back out before the plans were set in stone bleeding to wings and insulting him and essentially calling him a coward and on march 28th while talking on pka they had set the yuari wilderness in north carolina as the location and set the date from april 14th to the 18th though through this conversation our reluctant wings would attempt to seemingly find any excuse to cancel a trip but with the encouragement of woody and kyle he had agreed to the

date of the trip well i'm i am my birthday is april 21st and i am not going anytime before that wait why i've never heard of anyone [ __ ] celebrating a birth month before my birthday is made first off i still need to practice seconds i mean like i don't have all my stuff my boots are in the mail i don't even have pants look we're talking about doing this in 16 and 17 days 18 days from now that's what we're just what we just talked about amazon prime and you're like my boots are

still in the mail man i've got to get more skills i was always under the impression it was going to be beginning of may dude let's do this let's do this april 14th don't say no don't puss out don't be a [ __ ] don't get me loser be you want to live an extraordinary because may is the distant future you want to live an extraordinary life you want to do extraordinary things then you find out how to make them go i watch the painkiller already subreddit and they're like man a lot of these guys

would really like to do this a lot like man i would like to do this thing i would there's a reason not a lot of people do this and it's because they're wired to figure out reasons why they can't do it why they shouldn't i'm not backing out i'm the last person that's going to back out each of the attendants will begin making videos to hype up the survival trip and bring more exposure to it they would present the gear they were going to bring and explain its uses as well as showcasing the talents and

techniques they had picked up in preparation for the trip but when it came to wings he had purchased very little compared to the other two and preparation videos had very little in terms of information or how he had been preparing for the trip and as april 13th rolled over both woody and kyle will begin driving to a town located near the wilderness area and while on the road kyle would call wings to check if he had arrived where in cal surprise wings would state he was not going he then caused woody to try to convince

wings but with no luck as wings had come to the conclusion that he was not going to attend two days before but have failed to inform anyone alright so i don't know we were about 40 miles in earlier now we are like 162 miles into this trip and uh i was just i texted wings of redemption and i said uh i'm like pretty much verbatim i said hey buddy uh are we still on for tomorrow because keep in mind it's 11 p.m right now we're supposed to meet at the uh the the bait shop at

8 30 a.m so you know nine hours from right now and uh and i also include you know and also do you have everything you need because i've got extras of a lot of things and his response was basically i'm not coming he will then go on to upload two videos addressing why he did not go with his excuses being that due to his weight he would drag the party down and the trip itself was dangerous as all members had very little wilderness survival experience with the second video being titled why do you never apologize

where he explains just that both videos would have their dislike bar disabled and would be bombarded with comments rebutting his argument and excuses as for colin woody they would only spend one day in the wilderness before kyle became violently ill possibly through the intake of lake water so they would return home one day after arrival or then the existing members of the podcast would vote to kick wings off due to his lack of commitment and yet again wings would be condemned for his actions with many viewers unsubscribing from his channel and leaving a sizable amount

of dislikes on his future videos he would then almost exactly one month later began walking 365 a video series where an attempt to maintain his weight would walk four miles daily while recording it he would progressively win over his viewer base as he seemed committed to this venture that was until day 79 where he had a moment weakness and had gained six pounds over the course of a week but not all was bad as eight days later drew had contacted him and offered to train him for free which he would gladly accept and he would

take him on not so much as a personal trainer but sort of a friend and a livestock coach now 2015 along with his traditional content he'll begin to upload videos of him working out with drew and seeing how jordy interacted with a friend instead of a random person online did shine a different light on him and brought the best of his personality out as for the community interaction his viewers almost unanimously adore drew since he had a good impact on jordy's life and they had a great chemistry together he would also rarely post on youtube

as he was beginning to transition to twitch and through his streams we learned that he was still struggling both mentally and physically all right so let's see wings um his highs are are nice and high right he's working with drew he's enjoying weightlifting which is a cool thing he hasn't really enjoyed any workout prior to that he uh i guess that's it those are his highs on the downside um his financial situation continues to to head worse right like he stopped working basically so he you know his job of course is to make youtube videos

and what has he made like maybe three in the last month yeah he's living off his savings um so he's gaining weight he's losing money and um he was on a twitch stream so as i as we say this this is maybe like five days ago guessing um he said he you know his plan was still to keep doing what he's doing until he runs out of money and then murder him it did not murder himself suicide that's what i'm looking for and then uh he was gonna kill himself a few months after this we

will learn he stopped his workout sessions with drew and due to all his failings he will not begin 2016 strong where he would once average 50 000 views of video he was now getting one-tenth of that he would also be back up to 450 pounds the same way he was prior to the fps boot camp we would also see the small build-up of trolls around his channel starting this year kicking it off with a semi-viral clip i had 600 i had almost 700 on the cod remastered man like i hate call of duty i hate

it it ruined my life i hate everything about it over the course of a year more of these would surface twitch was now his primary source of income where he was earning an estimated five thousand dollars a month and with this money he would announce that he will begin to save up for weight loss surgery in mexico and depending on which surgery he would pick the trip the hotel and the recovery process would cost him an estimated eight thousand dollars which was his earning goal and because he was streaming more often to make money for

the surgery the amount of clips of wings losing his temper would grow exponentially with the first large rage compilation being released on august of 2017 by user 6ms this will bring a lot more attention to wings and in turn more viewers for his streams that came from other communities such as those of chris chan and dark side film where the outrageousness of the personalities would become a sort of spectacle and for the most part made them an easy target to troll for a reaction and so they did by doing what wings hated the most and

that was joining a session and team killing which on november 15th would produce this clip that would again go viral and would give his streams mass attention i don't know what i'll stream again i really need to make this [ __ ] money i really wanted to get this [ __ ] surgery man i wanted it so [ __ ] bad i just can't do it i can't take this [ __ ] no more man all i wanted to do was like i was lonely i wanted to stream and have a good time maybe have

a good game a day later would be the birth of sean ranklin the most successful highlight channel or as wings likes to call them troll channel and with his first video and over the course of a couple months he would have accumulated over 1.3 million views far surpassing even wing's top viewed video this birthed many memes from his live stream or rather triggers such as real talk like why are you doing this to me well real talk why look here listen look here look listen appearing offline does not stop it so stop giving [ __

] advice you know nothing about ban anyone for x reason wilson i don't talk to anybody quit asking me about my [ __ ] life if you ask me about my life one more goddamn time you get the permaban we're at the point where if you mention fortnite you get banned van laardmuff by the way you're supposed to ban anybody that wants to sit here and criticize my skill a band star destroyer 24 dude i don't suck at world war ii either shock steve all right shock steve here it is i'm gonna download fortnite shock

steve if i don't reach 520 subscribers within two hours i'm perma banning you uh ban anybody that knows what i said finger sniffing his love for when he's chilly and various others that would garner attention in the following months as for the progression of his surgery he had chosen the gastric sleeve surgery a surgery that removes 85 of the stomach leaving about four ounces of food to be consumed at any given time and in order to travel to mexico he will need a long-form version of his birth certificate which should take six to eight weeks

to arrive though many viewers and content creators saw this as him trying to delay the surgery or him trying to make excuses as to not get the surgery one of these people being keemstar which wings has had a long history starting back in 2010 after a dispute they had on keem's podcast when pretending to go off air wings would somewhat threaten him by a doxing oh i got you here d can't we stop recording now yeah we're done all right well i got your dj keemstar i've run some stuff by you is your p.o box

148 holland new york 1408 that's correct that's correct is your street address york 1408.09702 that's incorrect that's incredible i don't i don't give my my personal where i live at don't give that out i'm has your girlfriend named melissa r black yes she is it's her phone number seven one six five eight two six three can i ask you why you're trying to get my personal information i'm just i'm just i'm just trying to see how much of this is correct because i i gave some of this information to fist the govs you gave you

gave my personal information to fisticuffs and later when wings was doing walking 365 keemstar tried to expose wings for walking less that he claimed later leading to wings saying a live stream that he wishes death upon keemstar and every and i've seen how terrible a person he could be i'm that serious like if somebody deserved to die on this planet daniel king would be one of them i'm not that's not that's that's serious like if you wanted to do sharira law daniel kim should be one of the first people to die and have his hands

left he's a despicable person and that is word word to your mother truth right there this would lead to keemstar wanting to do a live debate with wings to which he refused and to get his attention keemstar threatened to have wings's twitch channel suspended for inciting violence or rather wishing death upon him so wings would finally accept the debate and during their conversation keemstar would offer to pay wings twenty-five thousand dollars that would go towards wings getting the surgery in america instead of mexico as long as he would box him one year later i mean

like if you were so worried about me having it done in mexico why don't you donate to twenty five thousand dollars trying to have it done right here in conway all right deal if i donate the 25 000 to have it done in kanye way and you survive okay then you have to box me a year after the surgery but wings would decline this because he was afraid of getting a head injury which he was more susceptible to due to his injury as a child that end he had already made enough money to for the

surgery in mexico again this would bring more hate to wings as not only did he decline another opportunity to revive his channel but it also looked like he was making excuses to not have the surgery done he would then announce that he was instead saving up for the surgery to be done in america instead of mexico for safety reasons but to get the surgery done in america he will have to lose 50 pounds which he would fail to do this seemed to be yet another delay on his surgery it was also around this time that

he will post his final youtube video updating his viewers on the progress he had made with the surgery and to everyone's surprise on april 28 2018 he had posted screenshots of himself in tijuana where he had just gotten the surgery the community in this belief would only later find proof and wings ever slimming figure they would also find his moments of rage although present would see a decrease as he will begin taking lexapro a drug used to treat depression and generalize anxiety disorder now in 2019 his diet might seem to be in shambles as rumors

has spread that he has been eating twice his recommended daily calorie intake not only this but his spending of his leftover surgery money is questionable though overall he has to some improved as he claims to be sitting at around 300 pounds though the evidence is still lacking as current day 2019 he refuses to show his way on scale regardless he remains a spectacle with viewers watching and categorizing every stream until the moment he breaks whether we'll see true improvement is in the hands of time he may yet see his redemption you
