Gordi the BJW fan

Now I kind of feel like a lime rickey and a Reuben sandwich.

Re-watched the main Forbidden Door matches in four roughly hour-long chunks. Marked out just as hard on the re-watch. Caught a bunch of stuff I missed while chatting with friends during my "live" viewing, and also noticed a lot of things that people pointed out in posts in this thread. Really really really enjoyed the whole show the second time through, particularly the JASuki Gun vs Yonkers Combat Club 6- man, Ospreay vs Orange, and ZSJ vs Alternative Bryan. There is a very real chance that this is going to be one of those shows I can watch years and years from now and get a massive nostalgia rush. In that Canadian Stampede, Mania III, Bash '89, M-Pro These Days tier... maybe Dominion '18 would be the only other modern show with a chance of getting on my version of that list. The mixed English/Japanese intros added something to this show for me, personally. The Judas and Kaze ni nare sing-alongs were the ideal way to kick off the show. And the crowd marking out for Wheeler Yuta! How many of us could have picked him out of a line-up a year ago? Loved how Jericho used Suzuki to fight Kingston for him. They worked with "we have been watching our Toryumon tapes" speed and character work but also "we've been watching a Four Pillars comp" levels of stiffness(and character work). Awesome opener. I marked out hardest for the three-way tag match, in kayfabe terms. FTR as ROH, AAA, and IWGP (heavyweight) Tag champs is too cool! Whether that was a planned storytelling beat or an improvised reaction to a legit injury, they played that perfectly. Shades of Canadian Stampede, and The Rock n Roll Express! Miro and Malakai fighting over who gets to stomp Pac was pretty funny. Conners managing to stand out among this group was impressive. He's muscular, but he is in there with Miro (and Pac). He's intense, but he's in there with Black. He's athletic, but he's in there with Pac... Good on him! And on that crowd. I had forgotten that JYD was one of the original Dudes With Attitudes. I was delighted when Kevin Kelly "stole" the Stingobernables joke. I had presumed this was gonna be the evening's craziest spot fest... but instead (or in addition) they went all in on character work. El-P with the Bux was too good. More of that, please! I liked how the arm work on Storm paid off in the finishing sequence! I loved how they just layed everything in on one another. I'd forgotten they were both ex-STARDOM. The head games between Orange and Ospreay were so good. Thor pose. Hands in pockets. Kawada kicks. And reversals of reversals like they had been working together for years. They combined "fun" with "excellent" perfectly. More than I could have reasonably asked for. Then Shibata. Who could have foreseen Shibata having a real moment with Orange Cassidy? Pro wrestling is so great! The fans in Chicago reacting instantly to Shibata's music, then doing the same for Claudio. So cool. The fans' reaction to Claudio, and his reactions to that, were almost as enjoyable as the actual wrestling. Which was great. The UFO counter into an armbar, spilling out of the ring, and leading to that insane strength spot. What an all-time great and memorable sequence that was! The crowd just freaked out for Okada. I think I get it. Like the first time I came to Japan and saw Misawa live. My pick for the greatest living wrestler, at that time. I think a lot of people felt like that, like they couldn't believe they were getting to see The Greatest live and in person. But even this crowd wasn't going to pop for the money clip. Jon Moxley is one of several prominent Americans who suffer from Mysterious Bloody Forehead Syndrome. It's weird that seeing Mox dripping (forbidden) gore seemed to get the crowd more behind Tanahashi. Hell of a main event, and Claudio cleaning house and paying off the crowd's patience by putting a giant swing on Ange was a fitting end to a PPV that we might still be talking about years from now. Also,.Ortiz looks good with his head shaved!

I think you were right the first time. I believe Keith Lee would prefer to pronounce and spell it "Business."

It's stinking hot here right now. Hot enough to just want to stay inside with the air conditioning on. And, given that I spent very close to six full hours marking out over the past few days, I decided to try and do a full @DEAN-style big re-watch of the go home Rampage, the buy in, and Forbidden Door. It's really cool for me to see that even people who are decidedly not in the middle of the AEW mark/NJPW mark venn diagram also seemed to really love Forbidden Door. Makes sense, though. It really was a damned good show. Millioke Rampage Also a great pro wrestling crowd. They started chanting "Eddie" as soon as Andrade and Fenix started going for the duelling three amigos. How great is that? Andrade works the size and strength advantage vs Fenix, but presumably he wouldn't do that if he were facing, say, Wardlow. That's smart pro wrestling. Fenix can work the agility advantage against literally anyone. These guys work at such a high degree of difficulty, as well, but everything lands beautifully. It's truly impressive. Over on the Navel Gazing thread I am getting into positivity, curiosity, enthusiasm... but here is the mad king showing how anger is also an energy that can get you through the shit to a better place. And I see his point. Kingston is the best. The Swerve and Lee story is so interesting. I would prefer to see them work things out, but I also kind of want to see them fight. It's cool how Deeb & Mercedes are also a "team with issues" but in a different way. Toss in Hook & Danhausen and you've got three distinct variations on that story, which is a lot of fun. I'm serious about wanting Serena and Martinez to go full on down the Hokuto and Kandori path. "Mutual respect" stories can be told with a fair bit of nuance, in the ring, when you are as good as those two. I think Danhausen is valuable in the way he humanizes Hook and helps keep the "undefeated cool handsome guy" stuff from rubbing people the wrong way. Also, Hook's throws and holds look really intense and believable and so on. that also really helps. Danhausen:Hook::The Ass Boys:The Acclaimed Along the lines of how Fenix has the agility advantage against anyone he might ever face, Cobb has the strength advantage. If you brought back young Andre in a time machine, Cobb should still try to overpower him. The dude is a freak of nature! It makes perfect sense that Cobb should win the singles match but FTR should win the tag match. As top-to-bottom great as this show was, I think the post-main-event mayhem match might have been the best thing about it. The Buy-in The crowd erupting with boos for The Factory then roaring with joy for Bishamon really set a perfect tone for the whole show. A hot crowd can sometimes make a huge difference, and this show is a great example of how that can work. If anyone from AEW is indeed lurking here: PLEASE mic up every arena the way you mic'd up this one! The crowd's enthusiasm just added so much to the enjoyment, all show long. Factory played to it perfectly, as well. Non-stop heeling and cheating. I thought that having YOSHI-HASHI and Swerve get hot tags after their larger partners played face in peril was interesting and fun. Then it paid off nicely in the main event, with Giant Rockabilly getting the hottest tag of all after his partner took an extended beat-down from The Dojo Boys. Archer and Comoroto, with their 1980s bodies and 2020s big man agility (rope-walk moonsault! skin the cat!) bring added value because they are always going to look awesome no matter how many hard-fought battles we see them lose. Every time they walk out their sheer physicality is going to win the crowd over. That was a really good BMMSM match. You can't go wrong giving us one of those. Another cool thing about Swerve in our Glory vs Suzuki Gun was how it was four guys with really distinct styles who all stuck to those styles (crafty, quick and technical, overpowering, smoothly creative) but yet the match flowed seamlessly. You can almost never go wrong using body part psychology as a spine for a match. Lee didn't really yeet anybody, but him hitting Despy and Kanemaru with one another was a lot of fun. I can't get over how huge Billy Gunn looks in AEW. What a show! I'll try to get my Forbidden Door re-watch in soon.

Yep! It's a kind of delicate balance, when speaking about positivity and joy to not come across like it's shitting all over people being critical. [And it's complicated further by the fact that, more often than not - and kind of ironically - people who love criticising pro wrestlers (or film directors or bassoon soloists or whatever) tend in general to be extremely tetchy whenever they perceive that their themselves are on the receiving end] And complaining is, sometimes, a lot of fun. I can, and will, enjoy laughing about grumpy JR or making schadenfreude jokes about Vince or whatever. I complained about critics in this post, in the previous paragraph, in parentheses. It was fun. I am however very much of the opinion that enjoying a thing is generally way more fun and also a better use of time and energy than shitting on a thing. That's been a broad general theme of both Navel Gazing threads. And it's delightful to me that people are willing to discuss it at all. It's obviously not everybody's cup of tea, but I am glad the mods let me keep this thread open. It's my cup of tea. And thinking about it w/r/t pro wrestling bleeds over in useful ways into the rest of my life. It's generally better to enjoy the time I can spend with my family rather than fighting about minor stuff all the time, for example. My time and energy is better spent with people who make me feel good rather than with people who make me feel bad. And so on. Sometimes you have to fight, or whatever. I just don't think it's healthy to make that the focus. To make "stuff to fight about" your red car, if you will. Here's today's navel-gazing thought: What I think it comes down to is this: Do we love pro wrestling? Or do we love feeling like our opinions about pro wrest are the correct opinions? It's a continuum, with two axes. (Maybe that's a matrix?) My argument would be that, the further along that continuum we are in the direction of @DEAN where we look for and enjoy what's good about all kinds of wrestlers and wrestling without ever uncritically swallowing crap and calling it ice cream, the better off we are. Another continuum worth pondering: Are we interested in discovering new things, or do we just want to be applauded for what we already know? (If you think.you know everything about any given subject, odds are that you in fact know very little. The more you know, the more you know you don't know, as they say. It's why I love Secret Santo. Exapanding your horizons is good. This is also where I really admire @Matt D and the rest of the Segunda Caida crew. They watch everything they can find. I hugely enjoy reading their journeys of discovery, uncovering and discussing new footage. Dudes who have seen so much pro wrestling that they truly understand it's impossible to see and know it all. I don't even have the time and energy to read about everything they watch. It's unreal. This is maybe the most obvious area where a lesson learned from pro wrestling fandom bled over into the rest of my life. Getting into tape trading and learning about and enjoying different styles of wrestling was probably the biggest key in terms of opening my mind to the whole wide world of possibilities out there. It's doubtful that I'd be enjoying my current life, living across the ocean from where I was born, enjoying foods I never even heard of growing up, listening to music I never could have imagined, visiting places tourists don't generally hear about, if pro wrestling hadn't provided me that mind-opening key. Maybe I could have stayed my whole life in Vancouver, listening to the radio and eating cheeseburgers, and still been completely content. Cheeseburgers are good. (Also, Cheeseburger is fun). Or, maybe if I stayed in one place I'd literally be a cranky old grandpa now, complaining about how much better things were back in my day. tl/dr: generally I have been thinking a lot about how being positive about pro wrestling helps me understand how to be positive about life in general, and how being curious and enthusiastic about pro wrestling also carries over in my life in a big way.

Damn, what a show! I know I am pretty much the exact target audience for this show, being an AEW mark, living in Japan, who also loves New Japan... but honestly for me this damned near hit that WM17/Super J Cup '94/One Night Stand/Canadian Stampede all-timer elite tier of pro wrestling shows. Wildly exceeded my very high expectations. I was marking out and fully engaged for almost five hours. That crowd! They really made this show. Non-stop energy. The buy in would have been a great episode of Rampage! Although, the opener was kind of an ideal Elevation main event. QT Special popped me big time. I'm glad Archer got on the show, and I am always happy to see Comoroto. And to watch BMMSM. Keith Lee as The World's Biggest Ricky Morton was straight up amazing. Why is Swerve obsessed with Jim Neidhardt's house? Making jokes about Shibata's balls? That's low hanging fruit ? All time great Kaze ni nare! How awesome must it feel for guys who have been fighting in front of quiet Japanese Covid crowds to get reactions like this? It just does not get better than Kingston vs MiSu. Umino looked great, too. I think that was one of the best three-way tag title matches of all time. Cash's injury added a dose of Canadian Stampede to the whole thing, which was fitting. All time great hot tag. All time great near-fall. I like when Jay's accent makes him sound like Korg. Conners hits The Forbidden Gore on Miro, through the table! Sting teaming with Shingo in 2022 is just insane. Bucks and Phantasmo heeling it up was too much fun. If Rosa is going to keep wrestling more like Dustin, then I am fine with her holding on to the belt. I was worried when JR came out to call Orange vs Ospreay... but he was just fine! Fruit vs bird is a natural match-up. The Shibata moment was so good. Claudio was great. Zack countering the giant swing was such a heel move! ZSJ can't use the European uppercut any more because of Brexit. BCC is so good now. And there is beef with Kingston simmering there. Oh boy! Shame about the ending to the IWGP title match. Hope Cole is OK. Commentary team handled that well. Mox busted open! Forbidden blood and Gore! Surprised so many in the crowd were behind Tana! I am down with Mox and Bux being two-time champs. And with PAC having a title. He is legitimately from The Atlantic, too! And FTR as IWGP and ROH tag champs! Such a great show.

I would have given you a 'thanks' trophy if you had also covered the pre-show. Pretty much agree with all of your predictions, but I am holding on to my longshot call that Substitute Dragon will be someone lesser known but awesome enough to win the crowd over by the end of the ZSJ match. Or Sibata. It won't be Shibata. But imagine Shibata in Blackpool Combat Club.

Yeah. It's relatively easy for me to be positive. I am blessed with a great family as far as my wife and kids, some amazing, supportive, understanding friends, and a job I enjoy. I am extremely on the introverted end of the introverted/extroverted continuum in that I really need a lot of alone time to recover my energy, but as far as I know I am in good place mental-health wise. I can't imagine how much more difficult any attempt at self-improvement might be if I didn't have all of those things going for me. I can only wish you the very best of luck,and that you find the help you need and more.

If Ruby Soho married Bray Wyatt...

The same two people would fight again and again, going approximately 50/50 until the premium live event where whichever guy the fans like least goes over?

I am kinda sad, now.

OK, this is going to be a pretty ambitious post. It is entirely inspired by @JLowe promising to be "less of a dick" about Marina Shafir and @just drew responding that he is going to try and do the same and asking to be held accountable for it. Actual quotes: "I'm going to stop being such a dick about things, including Shafir. Life's too short and the world is already fucked enough" - JLowe "Keep me accountable. I’m gonna try that too." - just drew By coincidence, I have been re-reading The Willpower Instinct, a really excellent self-help book by Kelly McGonigal Ph.D. I was really surprised, on the re-read, to see that Dr. McGonigal lists complaining among the bad habits that people want to control (among other things like eating too many cookies, putting off what needs to be done, or cheating on their spouse). But, yeah, of course. She explains, backed by psychology, neuroscience, and practical experience, some methods of changing those behaviours that genuinely work. it's an oversimplification, but basically she identifies three kinds of willpower: The "won't" power, which enables you to stop doing things you don't want to (or shouldn't) do, the "will" power which enables you to do the useful things you tend to put off or avoid, and the "want" power which reminds you what your long-term goal is so you can keep moving toward it. focus on the "want" helps us control the "will" and "won't" stuff. Since October, I have lost 20 kilos. I was pre-diabetic, had gout, and had lots of minor health issues, aches, and pains. That's a lie. I had full blown type 2 diabetes. The kind that's caused by eating and drinking too much and not exercising enough. I was too shocked and ashamed to admit it. There were more than a few books and videos and people, including @Shartnado, who inspired, encouraged, and influenced me. Dr. McGonigal's book provided the key. My "want" was to have my doctor tell me I didn't need to take diabetes medication any more. Also, I wanted to feel better, move better, and look better. My "won't" list included buying chips and ice cream, ordering pizza and burgers for delivery, drinking sugary drinks, and so on. My "wills" included moving more (going for long walks), getting to the gym regularly, eating lots of vegetables and fruit, getting 150+ grams of protein and 25+ grams of fibre (from food) every day, and so on. And to count my calories. Every day. And I f'n did it. Doc told me on Monday I can stop taking the pills now and we'll see how my blood work holds up. It's a gross oversimplification, but the key is breathing. The prefrontal cortex enables us to control our behaviour and breath focus meditation strengthens our prefrontal cortex. There are endless videos on YouTube etc that teach basic breath focus meditation. Basically just breathe and focus on the breath and if your mind wanders just bring it back. It's the wandering and coming back into focus that is the process. Not the breathing. Personally, I have been using the Wim Hoff method for my breath work, because I enjoy it. Followed this video daily for a couple of weeks until I got it down. Now I can do it anywhere anytime. A practice like this really does strengthen your self-control. It's f'n amazing how well it works. Also, taking a few deep breaths and remembering our larger goal can be extremely useful when we feel tempted to do something we are trying not to do, whether that is eat a bag of Doritos or make a joke about Adam Cole's biceps. Not to put to fine a point on it, but my "want" is to enjoy watching and discussing wrestling (and listening to music and playing games) in my somewhat limited free time, so my "will" is to watch, discuss (play, listen to) the stuff I really enjoy (and there is a lot of it) and my "won't" is to waste too much energy bitching about all the other crap out there even though it's fun to complain sometimes. That's a legit thing I did, to help me stop being such a grouchy 'grandpa' about everything. That. And, just breathe. Obviously, there is way more to it. The whole book is easy to read and very well worth it. Here's a good summary: https://www.naveedjan.com/notes/the-willpower-instinct The Power of Habit and Atomic Habits are also well worth reading. Adding more positive habits and removing some negative habits is probably the easiest and most efficient way to change your life for the better. An interesting bit from Atomic Habits is that if you improve something by 1% a day, in a year you'll be 37 times better at it.

He kind of looks like @The Natural there, only with an eye patch instead of sunglasses.

It's available in the Japanese e-shop. An Arcade Archives game. Not sure if they are available outside of Japan. Please let me know. Also: PLEASE explain the piledriver cheat! Here or by pm. Or send a link... I played endlessly in the arcade and in my uni pub in the 80s and have played for literally hours on the Switch. Never had any idea about any cheats! Also, apparently Saturday Night Slam Masters will be released for Capcom Arcade 2. (Maybe I read that here, come to think of it).

Mine is: Cherry-pick the G-1 Full participation in Secret Santo Rampage, Dynamite, Elevation, Dark. Play Matt Mania/Exciting Hour on my Switch Fart around with NJPW Collection on my tablet Read Vader Time, Crazy Like a Fox, and Under the Black Hat Discuss wrestling here Chat with my wrestling friends on messenger Hit at least one live event Do not watch any Manami Toyota matches.

I think we've got the whole card now, so Assclaimed vs LA Dojo They have struck unexpected gold with this Acclaimed/Billy/Ass Boys team-up. Something straight up entertaining and goofy that damned near everybody seems to enjoy. The entrance rap and "scissor me daddy"spot will pop the crowd. A guaranteed fun opener. QT & Solo vs Goto & Yoshi-Hashi This could be sneaky good, because QT can really heel it up, stooge, and tell a story in the ring. One for those of us who love the YouTube shows. Swerve in our Glory vs Despy & Kanemaru Weird that Archer isn't in the match, but all 4 of these guys have been on a hot streak of fun matches recently and Lee yeeting Desperado and/or Kanemaru is going to be sick. Main Card Mox vs Tana I have absolute faith in Mox to bust his ass to make this main event match worthy of its spot on the card. There is a real.chance that The Ace might win this one, so I am going to be on tenterhooks for the entire match, buying into every nearfall. I love when that happens. I love when I care who wins and who loses and really don't know who it is going to be. Jay vs Okada vs Hangman vs Cole It's Okada in AEW. That's good enough for me. Hopefully we'll get Punk vs Okada, Punk vs Jay, Hangman vs Okada, Hangman vs Jay, Bryan vs Okada, Bryan vs Jay... and Kingston, and Miro, and Darby and etc etc vs Okada, Jay, Shingo, Naito, and etc etc at some point. But I am in "the glass is half full" mode and don't want to spoil Okada in AEW by worrying about what we are not getting this time. And this match is going to be awesome. PAC vs Malakai vs Miro vs Conners Yeah, I'm bummed out that Ishii hurt his knee. Did you know Clark Conners was trained by (Nick Wayne's dad) Buddy Wayne? Here's hoping he makes the most of this opportunity. I'm really hoping for a Miro win, which will make the near-falls and false finishes that much more exciting. Also, it is likely that this match will be harrowingly stiff and that bombs will be thrown. I like both of those things. Le Sex Gods vs Mad King, Wheeler, and Shooter Why is MiSu teaming with Jericho & Sammy? Because he is also a sex god. I just figured that out now. Kingston has us all champing at the bit for him to get his hands on Jericho. Presumably he'll be frustrated here but finally get revenge at Blood and Guts. Every possible match-up here is pretty great. Particularly Suzuki vs Yuta and vs Umino. And whatever happens between The Wiizard and The Mad King will be hot as hell. Ospreay vs Freshly Squeezed Personally, I hope they shoot for a "fun" match rather than a "great" match. They are capable of both, in my opinion. Also in my opinion: "Great" matches are a dime a dozen these days. Look at @DEAN's poll threads or the ever-growing "great matches of 2022" list, for proof, if any is needed. If these guys shoot for maximum fun, it could really be something exceptional . Not that I'll complain if they go.for greatness, or if they just beat the hell out of each other. I am merely expressing a personal preference.? FTR (ROH) vs Khan on the Cobb (IWGP) vs RPG (Champions of my Heart) Oh boy did I love Cobb vs Cash. More of that, please and thank you. Also, really pulling for an FTR win even though Cobb is one of my absolute favourite current pro wrestlers, and I love Roppongi Vice, and Great O-Khan is a real life hero. Thunder Rosa vs Tony Storm I am pulling for a Storm win here even more than I am pulling for FTR or Miro. Storm has transformed the women's division in AEW. Everyone has started hitting harder since she raised the bar. I'd love to see her as champ. Bizz Clizz (Nick Matt Hikuleo and El-P) vs los Stingobernables Shingo and Hiromu in AEW!! Hiromu and Phantasmo and Darby and Matt and Nick all trying to one-up each other! Phantasmo and the Bux hamming it up and heeling it up! Sting doing something inadvisable! This will be (literally) too much fun. ZSJ vs TBA I love not knowing stuff! Surprises can be a lot of fun. Claudio would be great, no doubt. But there are a lot of guys who would be really good in this kind of technical match and also violent enough for Blood and Guts and also a great fit in the Blackpool Combat Club. If it ends up being Nick Wayne or Thatcher or Gresham or Tom Lawlor or someone completely unexpected, please don't immediately get mad because it isn't Claudio. Unless maybe it's Gargano. ? If it is Claudio, though, let's all mark out like idiots.

The English commentary ranges from good to excellent. I always learn something from the commentary team. The interview translations are also generally excellent, though I am a bit biased in that regard. i believe you generally get live as it's happening English commentary for every major show. I tend to go with the Japanese commentary, to practice my listening and because I like the energy... But I can't recall English not being available when I wanted it. I too, will miss all this stuff when it is over. It's been non-stop mark-out material for me.

Don't think it's specifically a twiztor problem. Don't think you are alone in not much caring. On the other hand, it is definitely not a Gordlow problem. I'm like a kid before Christmas here. I am downright giddy. Can't wait to learn who the Substitute Dragon is going to be. Really have no idea who will walk away as interim champion. I am just as stoked as can be for Okada, Shingo, Hiromu, Cobb etc etc on an AEW show. I know who all those dudes are. I like watching all of those dudes fight. They are all really really good, in my opinion. I'm stoked to see Lee yeet Despy! I'm worried I'll burn through all my popcorn before the pre-show is finished, because I am too worked up about Factory guys facing New Japan guys. I hope we get two or three cross-promotional shows every year. I really really really want at least one more, when Bryan and Kenny and Punk and Naito are all healthy enough to fight. tl/dr: the build worked on me, and I am loving every minute of this.

It's getting ridiculous just how many really good matches there are. I went with Cobb vs Cash because it was a truly MANLY battle, but there are no wrong answers here. It's literally unpossible to keep up with all the greatness. World is full of problems, but great pro wrestling ain't one.

That Bungles my Joy.

I am only speculating, but my best guess as to what got clipped is:

I just marked out for an hour straight. I am kind of tired now. Hot damn, Cobb vs Cash was a MANLY battle! SEotW Cobb just overpowering Cash, yeeting him, surfing on him, standing moonsaulting him. Too aewsome. Then Cash just throwing rights to come back. You start out with an all-action spectacular, and end with pandemonium. That's how to do it. Andrade sprinting straight into the (square) ring post them sliding down was insane. And the SUPAHFLY and Roosh in the snazziest of white suits. I wouldn't mind me one of them there new t-shirts. "What's up baby? I love to fight!" ? I want Deeb and Luxury Auto to go full on Hokuto teaming with Kandori. They are about 80% of the way there already. They just need to throw in some slap tags and find a Kong and Nakano to face off against and bring out the full measure of mutual respect. Tully! Toa! Other dude! Oh yeah. Wait. What? vs Gresham and Moriarty? For real? Oh hell yeah. Thank you. Hookamania! Indeed. That main event was the best G-1 match we aren't getting this year. Great O-Khan with his trousers on! Lee yeeting Despy is gonna be so great.

So, which match do you think is going to steal the show: Cash vs Cobb or Andrade vs Fenix ? We are also.getting Deeb & Mercedes teaming up and Hook being awesome... so either of those dark horses might run away with it. You know who the real winners are here, though, right?

I'm casting my anticipatory vote for Cobb vs Cash, to be honest. It's outshining the Fenix match in my imagination. ?
