Sabin as a jerk is hilarious, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Aces implode - even though it's only a few dudes now. Brooke as an assless-chaps wearing biker babe rules. SHOOT PROMOZ not so much. AJ and TNA used to be great, but now they aren't. And TNA is just a place for guys to go to get a paid vacation. Va-ca-tion! http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/tna-impact-9-19-13.html Screens - See No Evil http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/4gevbtaf71wsyt151wm3oagjj4o0lqcp

This feels so much more polished than SR IV. Seriously, that game comes off like complete amateur hour compared to this and I LOVED SR 3. This is what a $60 sandbox game on current-gen hardware should be - and it even pulls off batshit crazy stuff thanks to weed and well Trevor being Trevor. He's a crazy dude, but just the right amount of realistically crazy. He seems like an old war vet who's had a few too many battles, shouldn't be fighting any more of them, but doesn't know anything else.

Fun show overall due to Steph's voice, Show, Dusty, Ryback, Heyman, Miz's parents, Miz's destruction being cheered in his hometown, and Bryan. It did drag on at times though, and felt like a big treadmill for most guys. Except for HHH - he's the top star and BUY HIS DVD NEXT WEEK. Nice ending bit - loved seeing Bryan close the show being a bad-ass and a hero amongst all the other faces. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/wwe-raw-9-16-13.html Screens - of haircare http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/7f3pz3b81grboo32tlnh3z6zkqjxfadn

Okay show, but nothing amazing. Odd to do the Van Terminator AFTER the match instead of just having RVD win the title. ADR is doing NOTHING as champion, which RVD can at least get a good pop. WWE Title match was good, but not much better than any of their TV matches, and the rest of the show was just there. Tons of filler too, which never helps a show.

Y'know, some people just don't have what it takes to be a Chippendale dancer. Quite a few of those people are in this pic anyway, Pat Patterson looks like he's worn this getup before.

This was a decent show. Not the greatest, but it had some really good stuff in there mixed in with goofy stuff and filler. Bryan's promo was the highlight of the whole show. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/sd-9-13-13.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/bkfgu7ojmbnslzt0q0ljlk3n1e831c1d

RUDE BULL would've been a tremendous name for them. Or a wacky team in Japan.

Really good show overall. AJ-Aries was crazy, but exciting with a memorable finish. Magnus-Roode was less memorable, but still pretty good. Bully-Anderson greatly exceeded expectations because Anderson was super-motivated. Also, MANIK IS LIKE HULKAMANIA. Oh, and AJ's going to cut a SHOOT PROMO next week. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/tna-impact-9-12-13-no-surrender.html Screens - #thumbsup4tits

7-8-96 Observer

I've got a couple of Rubbermaid tubs of them, and decided to convert a bunch of them to video files since they'll take up very little space on an external drive, and the VQ will be about the same as it would be on a DVD.

This was a super-fun show. Edge had a lot of fire, Heyman bringing back Heenan's bit of faking an injury to avoid a beating ruled. Shame he didn't ask for a small post-ponement of only 6-8 months. Santino-Cesaro overachieved greatly. Santino could just retire now because he got a massive pop in his hometown, got his school plugged, and Cesaro got the longest giant swing on WWE TV in ages, if not ever, and got to call Santino a piece of shit without it getting bleeped. They also built up Goldust-Orton wonderfully with a lot of clips of Dustin being both funny and physical. RVD-Ryback was a mini-disaster, but an amusing one that could set Ryback up as a world title challenger if RVD wins it on Sunday. Show destroying a $10 CRT set backstage was hilarious. The main event was pretty good, but not as great as Orton-Goldust. Show was a marvelous cheerleader. Loved the unbreakable small package getting the win once again and Bryan FINALLY getting one up on the corporation. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/raw-9-9-13.html Screens - Full gallery - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/1juj6b889w8qgg4pwmh67unihnvzi8zk

Been watching WWE's MSW set. I got it today from Amazon and it's incredible. There's no documentary, but there are little bits of stories told throughout it before big matches. The VQ is solid, but does have the VHS tracking stuff on the bottom, so it's not exactly perfect. It's got Ali's stuff with Roberts and Barbarian. Roberts doesn't take a bump for the punches, but Barbarian doesn't just bump, but sells so broadly that an elderly blind man behind a sign in the top row could see him. There's a hilarious workout video with Wrestling II, TA, and JR with Wrestling II in all white denim shorts that look silly. Then they try to break a bag of wheat with the kneelift. By God, TA just can't do it, but ONE MILLION DOLLAR KNEELIFT splits that bag. The Blu-Ray is worth buying for a Buzz Sawyer highlight reel showing him take existing moves and make them his own by doing them in a way no one did them at the time and no one has done them since. He also sold a punch by Duggan in mid-ring by FLYING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE. It's tremendous. Ted Sr. tells a story about turning heel and having Grizzly's tires slashed as a result since he wouldn't drive his own car in so he caught a ride with him. Terry Taylor talks about his big match with Flair in great detail. Flair showed up hung over 2 hours into the show, and there was about an hour to go before their match. Ric told him to let him rest, then get him some coffee. He did, and Flair wound up showing up like the Nature Boy and instead of giving Terry a 12 minute match like he feared would happen, gave him a 50 minute one that blew him up. Dusty tells some stories about Boyd, leading to a highlight reel of his silliest outfits. Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/8tqxvhrpudadt1c6wuhfbpnumbidrzl0

This is already free on demand if you've got Comcast. Vincent's shirt is the plaidbomb.com. Ariane's button-pushing rules. Ariane being worried about the newbies BECOMING THE FACE OF THE COMPANY got a chuckle. Eva creepily staring at JoJo was funny. Nikki's lips were about as red as Eva Marie's hair. Nikki's shin is like on fire. Nikki worrying about her job WHILE BEING WITH CENA was absurd. Ditto her saying her career won't survive if she takes a year off after also saying 11 months off led her to feeling refreshed. Ariane's dog getting glittafied ruled - but not as much as the dog outranking Vincent. JoJo's stankface ruled.The on demand ads for this show are way better than the ones for Spike shows - where you might get a promo code for Adam and Eve. Loved Trinity jumping Jon - just noticed his Fatu tattoo on his right arm. So Nikki gets bad news on a bone scan and IS DRIVING INSTEAD OF BRIE. WHY!? Eva looked so beyond hot with her red hair and green and white dress. Trinity's dad just happening to be a record producer when she needed to re-record her theme was a fine coincidence. Vincent's giant douche sweater ruled. WEDDIN WHA!? GRANDKIWHA? Jane's robotic voice on the phone with JoJo was surreal. Vincent defining the word surprise for Ariane was funny. Goddamn is she ever emotional though. Vincent supporting her turned him face. Vince's canary yellow jacket AND KEVIN DUNN appeared.And by golly, wouldn't you know it - Trinity's sick RIGHT BEFORE HER PERFORMANCE! Oh-Em-Gee! I thought their performance on Main Event was pretty bad when it happened, and they emphasized everything bad about it here. A Bella isn't on crutches - A DIVA ISN'T ON CRUTCHES! And next week, more medical drama happens. This ep had some funny stuff, but wasn't all that good. It does fly by faster on-demand though since you can skip through ads.

Or they didn't want to pay for two plane tickets.

Goddamn, there was SO MUCH FUCKING FILLER ON THIS SHOW. Other than the X show, these One Night Only shows have sucked.

That was definitely one of the most bizarre moments, or at least a WTF moment you never thought you'd see.

Big Show did the cobra clutch backbreaker in ECW, but rarely used it as a submission - he'd usually just chuck dudes with it. He did it to Flair into tacks.

IGF is still around - MAKE A WACKY 8-MAN TAG INOKI! Also, I'm so making that Horsemen image my tablet's wallpaper.

They're waiting to do "WOO WOO WOO, you're fired!"

Played a lot of Castle of Shadows on my OUYA today. I'm surprised how well it played since it was just side-loaded, but it works really well with the pad and is a decent free Castlevania SOTN-style clone.

SD is back to being fun, but feeling unimportant. Axel at least felt like a huge deal here. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/wwe-sd-9-6-13.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/zg4k7hgn2csvqa1xyo0m6w2ong5mjvsj

The kiddy porn deal makes him saying "You've got your hands full of PG-13" a bit creepy. Everything about this act reeks of z-rate indy.

This was a show. There was almost nothing memorable about it other than how long it took for them to get around to doing the main event, and the match itself calling back to the PPV match. Anderson's announcement was also decent, but good God is he annoying. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/tna-impact-9-5-13.html Screens - #brookesass http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/vangoe3rh0af12v7emlfvqr6onxjmtih

I could see Bully Ray working quite well right now given that THEY'RE ANTI-BULLYING AND HE'S A HEEL. But they've basically got Ryback doing that aspect of things now. Devon as a WWE trainer would be a good idea, but I don't see him signing a WWE contract without Bully.
