I ramble about things.

AEW Dynamite (Nov. 2nd, 2022): Global Force Gold Invades All Elite Wrestling

Good lord… where to begin?
Darby gets tricked by a guy in a Sting mask, who reveals himself to be… some guy. Nobody gives a shit, nor should they.
Then Sting’s music hit and out comes… Jeff Jarrett, who smashes poor Darby with a guitar. Is Global Force Gold making a comeback in AEW?
Mox beats up some dude, but then the Karate Man shows up and beats up Mox to challenge for a Title Eliminator or whatever the fuck they call it.
Chris Jericho retains the ROH title over the returning Colt Cabana… so I guess Punk isn’t coming back.
Jade Cargill and that Marina person had a thing that happened… that’s as diplomatic as I’m going to get.
And our main event is Samoa Joe retaining his ROH Television title over some guy, only to get beat up and saved by Wardlow, who gets beat up by Powerhouse Hobbs, who wants Wardlow’s TNT title. Hey, at least the show ended with an AEW guy closing the show.
This Dynamite sure fizzled. Wake me up when something interesting happens.
I might not even bother with the PPV this month.
On the bright side, I finally got a Sega Genesis mini 2… Sonic CD runs like ass, though.

State Of The Blog – November 2022

Not a huge update this month. More reviews and stuff, I guess.

Random Update Bits
October didn’t quite go as planned, but at the very least, the stuff I wanted to get out for at least a year finally saw the light of day. The Bloodstained review will probably be up this coming Friday if all goes well. Sadly, I’m dealing with some ‘rona issues at the moment that’s slowing me down somewhat.

Episode 225 of the DTM-Cast will up Saturday night and will be an extra long episode covering a number of topics as well as an extended Q&A segment. I’m also putting together a couple Sunday Gimmick Tables, hoping to hit the big two-five before year’s end. A couple of these are a doozy and one of them is something I said I would never get, but did because it was dirt cheap and that’s all I ever needed.

For those wanting a little more variety, be patient. I’ve been putting together some stuff on the side that’s being held off for the next year when I could start putting these out on a semi-regular basis. Some of it is reviving old ideas while others are somewhat new concepts. It’s going to be a fun time, I assure you.

Phantom Posts: The AEW Canada Shows
I did a quick write-up on the AEW Dynamite show from Toronto and forgot to ever publish it… or maybe it’s because I forgot to add a banner. And so it’s up now with the date of when it was written. Little bird told me that TSN was actually airing Rampage and I gave that a sample, but when it came to sitting down and actually writing something, it ended up turning into something asking why anyone should care about this ROH thing that is detracting from the AEW product. So, if you want to read that as well, it’s there. But links are provided below.

I also slipped some thoughts on the recent Director’s Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture that was redone for the Paramount+ streaming gimmick for those who want to check that out.

That’s about it. I’ll update the index pages in a week or so.

Later.

WWE TLC 2020

“I’M LAUGHING BECAUSE THE FIEND IS BURNT
TO A FUCKING CRISP! THAT’S FUNNY!”
Vincent Verhei
Bryan & Vinny Show
December 21, 2020
Welp, here we are. The TLC show from the WWE Thunderdome featuring Bray Wyatt being burnt to a fucking crisp… and yes, the Fiend still sucked.
Why did I decide to watch this show after skipping it the first time around? That’s a very good question and as soon as I can come up with a very good answer, I will let you know. In the meantime, it’s Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt THE FIEND in a Firehouse Inferno match, which is basically an inferno match in the THUNDERDOME where everything is in a monitor and we do video tricks and shit like that…
Other stuff happened, I guess.

Review #915 – Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PSX)

Oh yeah… we’re going there.

Honestly, the fact that we’ve gotten to the point where I can feel comfortable sharing my true feelings on games that are considered bonafide classics and not giving a fuck about the backlash is rather gratifying. I mean, look. I’m not getting to Youtube superstardom or anything like that. Not aiming for that. I’d rather be me and have a few folks around to watch me share “bad” takes than a whole bunch of yes-person stragglers subscribe because I said something they agreed with.

So, no, I don’t hold Symphony in high regard. I still think it’s a good game, but this is one relic I refuse to worship for the sake of… what? I don’t know.

Anyway… moving on.

Review #914 – Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)

True story: This was the video review that was too hot for Dailymotion last year, but Youtube took it without issue… AND with no changes to the content whatsoever. Pretty much the thing that convinced me to just stick with the Youtube thing.

Also, wave the flag in hoping Symphony moves past the Sony ecosystem and onto other systems. You know, for the fans.
