  1. Finished off The Legacy story in MyRise it was pretty fun. Might run it back and go with the option of leaving your partner next time. I'm working through the Showcase with Cena. Anyone get the Season 2 pass for Fight Forever? I have some PSN credits from gift cards I got a work (pays to be helpful I guess) so I have money to burn.
  2. I just looked it up, it was 2015 not 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNA_World_Title_Series Not fake results, just a few marathon tapings and some of the matches didn't air in full. Finals were held when the show moved to Pop which got the title back on EC3 and then there was a double turn with Matt Hardy and EC3 at a later taping. Considering the circumstances of them losing their TV deal with I want to say Destination America and them not having a broadcast partner yet, it was a pretty smart booking choice, get your talent some paydays and let them rest up or take indy dates for the late summer/fall and then finish off the tournament in the new year.
  3. Decent episode tonight. We got some movement on the King/Melo/Trick story, Dar and Gable had a dope match and we'll probably get a mixed tag soon. Tony and Stacks' new companion needs to tone down her voice a little bit since it's over the top but not in a funny way. When Dom announced the 4 way, I had to think about what former NA champs were still working for WWE and were not occupied with something. Ricochet was the only other option. I'm mildly interested in the Chase U storyline, but I can't see how this ends without being stupid and I mean outside the normal parameters of wrestling stupid.
  4. I have to agree with @ExcellenceofAirPollution this just seems like a poorly thought out tournament and concept since they just keep adding stuff onto it. I some folks think WWE is over produced, but they wouldn't even think of rolling something out like this. The closest I can think of is when Impact did that round robin tournament in late 2013 I think, and during the tapings there were just a bunch of random matches that didn't make sense until the tournament was explained and that was just to cover for them losing their TV deal at the time. But we're going to get some good matches out of this and a new title configuration. I guess the link between AEW and NJPW is getting better since they're letting AEW use one of their titles in the new title that will be created so that's good I guess? Still not sure how you book this since AEW has moved away from the sports like presentation so I'll be interested to see how they deal with losses. And like everyone else, I'm worried for Danielson, eye injures are nothing to play with and I hope he isn't doing something stupid that will hurt is quality of life down the road.
  5. Finished "The Lock" MyRise mode on 2k23. Feels a little unsatisfying you don't get to beat Slade in the end. I'm going through the women's story now with a Julia Hart download I got. I get that some people don't like the simulation style of the 2K games but I really appreciate the depth and the options you have for attacking your opponent.
  6. Darby of course had a poncho with thumbtacks on it for a match before. Finish was Darby putting it on for the Coffin Drop.
  7. I want to imagine there's a guy just outside the PC parking lot selling bootleg shirts.
  8. I have a friend that's from Puerto Rico and she loves Batista and used to think he was from the island until Guardians of the Galaxy came out. Mid 90s Flair vs. Low Ki on WCWSN or Worldwide would have been amazing. There also would have been one spot that went comically wrong too. Imagine Flair locking in the figure 4 and getting leverage from Woman or Elizabeth on the outside. Or Woman hitting Ki with her heel to give Ric an advantage.
  9. Nah, I kinda think like that too. Yomi was big on timing and counters so I'm not super interested in something like that right now which I assume is Ghosts and Sifu. Horizon might be the move. I have a WWE2k23 MyRise going right now since I finally got a good texture of my face into the game.
  10. Oh yeah, I had it on Dreamcast back in the day (I think I might still have the disc in a box in the basement at my moms house), I remember playing it for a bit, stopping because of something and talking to a buddy about it a few weeks later and he almost spoiled the plot twist but caught himself and just told me I had to finish it. I think I got a guide from GameFaqs and beat it after that. Wait is Subnautica scary? I can't tell if ya'll are both being sarcastic or not.
  11. Finished off Trek to Yomi the other day not a bad game aside from the timing issues with combos which can cause some issues with the later fights since you'll need to stun enemies so you can finish them off to get health back. Not sure what to start from the massive backlog of the following: Both Horizon games Ghosts of Tushima Borderlands 3 FF7 Remake Nier Automata Sifu FFX (would be a replay from when I had it on PS2 back in the day) RE: Code Veronica (same, except Dreamcast) Subnatuica Ghostwire Tokyo Control Suggestions are welcome.
  12. B&B have to have the most disconnect between cool entrance (dope song, tons of pyro) and actual performance. I know they would rack up wins on the YouTube shows but every time they made TV proper you knew what was going to happen.
  13. While it's been my "kill 30 to 60 minutes" game since it came out, I decided to try unlocking all of the alternate moves for the characters in Streets of Rage 4 which requires you to play survival mode with the characters enough times to unlock the moves. I have everyone unlocked except for Roo which I just learned was a bonus character in the DLC. Looking at the trophy list, I can finish off the DLC once I have his moves unlocked. With the alternate moves, some are better than others but the extra time with the roster has made me think about how to use everyone in different ways and makes me rethink using Adam as my main guy. I'm glad for survival mode since it mixes up the characters and keeps the game fresh enough for me.
  14. For NXT touring, they're kind of back to their old coconut loop in Florida but some touring outside of that would be good. I agree that smaller venues would be best. When NXT would come to Milwaukee, they would run Turner Ballroom which is probably 700-800 people with the ring setup. Venues with that capacity would be good. Their big shows seems to be in cities that are close to large ones (Bakersfield, Cedar Hill, etc) so that kinda checks out.
  15. Don't forget the spinning leg kick too! Come to think of it, no one does Booker's arm wring into a leg kick combo anymore. That's should come back.
  16. Interesting. If true, he won't miss too much aside from maybe the post WM Europe tour and maybe the next Saudi show?
  17. My first thought was Anna from Tekken so I looked it up and there was a side by side image of Anna and Ada which made me go "oh duh" As far as announcing, a blend of calling moves and their impact is best. In theory you'd have one announcer for both. Just make Excalibur stop calling moves that stop flying attacks "anti-air" I play fighting games and that's the nerdiest shit ever.
  18. Probably not, hell Joe Gacy was a fake "woke" guy initially and that got some blowback until it just evolved into typical wrestling cult guy.
  19. If you're going to have these broad characters, developmental is the place to do it. You've got business woman and lawyer and pageant queen to round out the other gimmicks too.
  20. And while I think Book and Vic work well together, Vic's casual style just irks me for some reason. Probably because Book and Wade both dressed nice so it was an odd contrast. Hell, Vic wore a damn suit in his sit down interviews yesterday so it's not like he can't or anything.
  21. Oh I love Booker on commentary. I think he's the WCW B show Dusty Rhodes of our time.
  22. Wasn't expecting those title changes tonight! Shotzi and Scarlett did a fine job hosting and navigating the costume changes. The twins scene with Melo was a nice touch. No one believes Melo which is hilarious. No match was bad tonight but nothing was amazing. Also, who was the Stratton clone? I'm blanking with the outfit and wig and their mannerisms matching Tiffany too well.
  23. Watching Rampage and the 3 way match just made me think about Marq Quen. He got some kind of surgery 6 months ago but hasn't updated his IG since then. He's gotta be close right?
  24. Hey now, the place I bowl at has jackets if you bowl a 800 series during league. It's a long term goal of mine to get one.
