Controversy At MiTB

There was controversy last night when Tiffany Stratton won another Money in The Bank ladder match, which makes her the first-ever two-time Women’s MiTB winner… except not really.

Do people not remember that the first woman to win MiTB was, in fact, a two-time winner due to controversy? Carmella – the former Staten Island person – won said contract under some controversy when James Elsworth plucked the briefcase in the first ever match back in… whenever this thing was the first time around (2018, maybe? A lot of stupid shit happened in 2018.)

And then they redid the match on Smackdown and Carmella won that one. So while “officially” Carmella was the first woman to win it twice, that is a lie because the first woman to win the Women’s Money In The Bank contract… was a dude.

Show the No Chin Guy some fucking respect… even if his ass got booed in TNA.

Baby Flair Is Getting A Podcast…

Source: https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/charlotte-flair-announces-off-the-pedestal-with-ashley-fliehr-will-launch-in-a-few-weeks/

Listen, I don’t want to come across as someone who poo-poos everything Charlotte does because I don’t have the supposed “hate boner” that some other folks seem to have with her… even though they’ve long since given up on giving her more title belts than her daddy… and I do wish Ashley all the best in her new endeavor.

But at the same time… I’ve seen podcasts from Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, Mark McCool, and even – for the briefest of instances before my ears cried out in utter agony – Stephanie McMahon. These are kinda, sorta dull, produced under the watchful eye of WWE broadcast parameters, so you only get the WWE-approved material and not anything that people would want to actually hear these people talk about. It wouldn’t surprise me that people would watch a Cody podcast these days and forget that he was one of the founding fathers of AEW because it never gets mentioned.

Apparently, the numbers aren’t there, but I guess we need content for that Radio WWE thing that was announced a couple months back starring the Busted Open shills… which they’ve always been LONG before this WWE deal came about, so it’s not like I’m suddenly picking on them. But at the same time, if they produced anything WORTH talking about, I probably would have said something to.

That having been, big kudos to Dwayne Johnson for the touching tribute to PAC and the best wishes to Tony Khan and crew. Whatever you want to say about the man’s business moves and whatever the case may be, never let it be said that he isn’t a genuinely kind-hearted soul because that man has heart more than anything. For the WWE brass to be miffed at one of their board members mentioning the unmentionable… fuck off and grow a pair, will you? Dwayne did something nice, regardless of who the guy was working for, and that earns some respect points.

Review #1378 – Buzz Bombers (Intellivision)

Actually, you know what? Screw it. You get it early.

This was literally cooked up in less than an hour. Roughly 10-15 minutes worth of quick gameplay to get a feel, coming up with words in about half the time, doing the dub, assembling the piece in Vegas, rendering and uploading all this morning before I spot off to the rest of the day. It’s not perfect, but it’s… well, you know.

Ecch…

Right, so the review will be up later tonight… but I wanted to share a little tidbit for the blog reading folks.

I’ve had a roll with the new Belmont’s Curse demo and as you can surmise from this stream that I’ve uploaded a fresh recording of to ignore the travesty of a laggy live feed (found here), it was brief and made me wanting more. Good thing for a demo. I did not pre-order the game. I’m not going that route. I’m waiting until release day to buy the game. It will be the PC version.

It’s a digital release. There’s no copies of the game running out if I don’t pre-order or order on release day. There are plenty of these to go around because you’re buying a code that lets you download the game to your machine and play it. There’s no incentive for me to pre-order a game and no, a costume change doesn’t cut it.

This isn’t a statement being made or a stand being… made… it’s just me saying my piece and moving on because the thing that I was hoping to have done for today is not done and therefore I am distracting you with nonsense to keep your mind busy until I have something up later tonight.

Is it working?

Oh well… worth a try, I guess.

Review #1377 – Donkey Kong (Intellivision)

The true horror lies in the fact that someone at Coleco considered this to be acceptable. Setting aside the (largely disproved) urban legend of Coleco making non-Coleco ports purposefully awful to make their own console version look better, it amazes me how someone at Coleco thought that THIS was good enough for Intellivision owners.

Alas, here we are… for better or worse. Mostly worse.

Where’s The Next Review?

It’s coming tomorrow… promise. I’ve been “under the weather” shall we say?

Actually, these past couple days have been pretty painful, but fortunately the worse looks to have come to pass. Hopefully, we can start getting shit done now.

Oh, and in case you missed the memo, we’re reducing review output to two per week; every Tuesday and Friday. This week being the sad exception, but beyond that, it should be smooth sailings.

I’m hoping a false hope, aren’t I?

TNA Bound For Glory 2018

State Of The Blog – October 2026

This month’s State Of The Blog is going to be very lightweight stuff. Little done in regards to background updates aside from a couple fixes here and there, which is what we can expect going forward until I can get around to reworking those video commentaries, which can be a tall order in and of themselves. The video review output is going to be reduced starting this month and there’s a couple major projects on the horizon.

Other than that, there are holes to fill and not much else.
