Got Exit Strategy last night. Used it a bit today. I've not even attached a Surrounded mod yet and still found it pretty damn useful. It may not be Recluse, but it isn't super far behind. I think would start having sympathy for enemies if I used them together. This is good to hear. I guess I will try to up my grind for it this week during Gambit.

Sounds like he bought an already existing promotion for Miyako Matsumoto. It will have its own style and be separate from the rest of DDT and it's satellites since this was more of a personal purchase.

Was wondering about that. I recall something about hints online on them being a couple a bit back but wasn't sure. Good for them.

Did he praise the death matches or just the Strong BJ matches?

Umbrella Academy was good fun. I don't know enough about Moon Knight to say if they are a good fit.

Hopefully the tag titles match is better than the one they had a few weeks back. Imperium losing is bs.

Corbin's opening promo was ok in parts, crap in others. The match with Roman later in the night was perfectly solid if forgettable. New Day vs. Revival was good. Wish it got built as something bigger considering the recent history between the two teams. Disappointed Revival aren't champs anymore. The Imperium attack was again neat to have though it was weird with them not getting a follow up on Smackdown. Sasha/Nikki was fine. I generally dug Bayley on commentary. The Shayna attack felt kind of unnecessary after both she and Becky kind of blew Bayley off. Bayley really should have been the next one to get an attack in to draw all eyes on her. Carmella/Dana vs. Sonya/Mandy was decent though I must have missed them announcing it was for a spot for Smackdown's SS team. Hopefully they give Dana a chance to show off a bit like she did here. The Fury/Braun segment felt weird with the instant respect the two had for each other, but it was probably the way to go with how much the crowd seemed like Fury. Dug the Sami/Bryan stuff. All of that leading to a Fiend attack though was surprising. Fiend/Bryan makes sense to a degree with the Fiend clearly wanting vengeance for all those who wronged Bray over the years. This still feels early though with Bryan not fully embracing his face turn yet. I'm surprised they didn't wait for RR or even WM.

Imperium appearing is nice. Imperium not having a match where they murder people is a little disappointing.

Which is probably why he is being vague. My guess is he has literally zero proof and is going off of assumption due to the issues NJPW had with his departure.

I did my first IB match this week last night. I was thrown into a game and had only two other people on my team until the last minute. That sucked so damn much. I tried to get into another game just to feel a bit better, but it was taking forever for one to start so I said fuck it and left to watch some anime. Hopefully I have better luck today.

You and my older brother would get along greatly. He is bothered when holiday decorations are sold and put up early.

I don't think the Fiend was ever contracted to a specific show until the most recent draft. I get that. I'm just not sure Kai is really at the height of her popularity.

AGE didn't make me hate everyone including characters I had previously liked unlike SEED Destiny. AGE wasn't disjointed. AGE's big problem was that they took a 3 generation story that went over the course of 50-60 years and tried to cram the whole thing into a 50 episode series. Nothing gets fleshed out, and everything was badly rushed. Honestly, I liked the idea of AGE. The execution just sucked. I was never into even the idea of SEED Destiny.

V, Reconguista, & Seed Destiny are the worst to me. I don't know if I can see ZZ as better than Zeta, but I can totally understand liking it more than Zeta

I think much of the time they do well but get these occasional moments where they go too far with it. That bump on Swerve's lariat was moronic for Dijakovic to take.

Has he given up his Canadian citizenship? If not then he probably isn't a Japanese citizen.

Seen Victory all the way through once and didn't particularly like it. Tried watching it again a few years ago, but never made it past 1/5 the show. Its not terribly good at all. ZZ is ok, but suffers with the style it has coming off of Z and with part of its story being changed because of Char's Counter Attack being approved. Wing is a mess that is somewhat enjoyable. 00 is more in line with what Wing likely wanted to be.

Is Dakota really that beloved?

If only Charlotte was in. She seems to bleed hard way the easiest out of the women in WWE. Not sure if that is bad luck or the Flair genes in her.

The only Invisible Man I can recall for sure was a Sci-Fi series about a thief turned government agent though Hollow Man sounds familiar.

Does a turn really need to happen? I mean realistically it wouldn't exactly make sense seeing that neither Mia or Kai are remotely friendly with Shayna and basically get nothing out of joining her. She has not named anyone as of yet.

I dug Cisco getting the focus. And Arrow was totally a backdoor pilot or build for the Canaries show. I enjoyed it, but I still have no interest in seeing more of the Future kids or Star City once after Crisis.

Can't remember which I watched, but Eat-man was weird to me however long ago I watched it. I like 00. I would have liked it more if they had given it another season to flesh everything out. Some of the Gundam shows really need more than 50 episodes to pull off what they want. Have you seen IBO yet? It and Turn A are probably the most different from the norm Gundam series.

The bond themes that stick in my memory and I like are: A View to Kill License to Kill You Know My name The World is Not Enough I need to listen to everything else again though I think Live and Let Die would be one of the ones I like.

Dunne/Priest was solid. Dug Swerve/Dijakovic until that ridiculous 360 bump from Dijakovic off of Swerve's clothesline. Both Dijak and Priest forget their size way too often. Conti/Santana was a nice showcase for both. Shayna/Dakota was good. Dug the post match brawl and Mia coming to save the day. Will be interesting to see what if any kind of swerve they go for. Garza/Neese was good fun for Garza. Loved the post match interaction with Rush. The OC invasion was neat. The main event was decent. Loved the starting brawl though it lost a little of my interest when Ciampa was playing FIP. Anderson and Gallows have just never been all that impressive a team to me so I lose interest when they are in control and not brawling. Cole attacking both Ciampa and AJ was nice. Finn's appearance was neat. Not sure about the actual ending just leaving things where they were. It felt like a "that's it?" moment.
