I ramble about things.

Review #894 – Mario Bros. (Atari 7800)

What’s more startling? A Mario game on an Atari console or a Mario game on an Atari console that’s also competing with the console that Mario made famous?

Actually, to say that 7800 was competing with NES is a misnomer. Still, a bit amazing that Mario Bros on a non-Nintendo system while there’s an actual Nintendo system is a thing.

And it doesn’t suck. Hooray!

NXT ArRival (February 2014)

NXT Arrival – yeah, I’m not sticking with their weird formatting – you’ll have to settle for the title if that’s your thing – has a couple distinctions. Not only is it the first ever NXT PPV-style special event to air on the WWE Network, but it is also the first live television event to air on said Network, as it had launched a few days prior to… let’s just say “less than stellar” reactions. I’m not sure I could talk about the WWE Network’s early days because Canada didn’t get it until much later and only the live feed which ended up being a premium channel on cable systems; the On-Demand Stuff not coming along until much, MUCH later.
But enough about that; let’s talk NXT Arrival because naturally, I have not seen this one. And with Triple H taking the creative reigns of WWE, we might as well look at the first major WWE Network event under the NXT banner. We’ll dive into the last few Summerslams starting next week.

AEW Dynamite (July 27th, 2022): Fight For The Fallen

Well, after several weeks of promotion joint New Japan ventures and a Ring Of Honor PPV that only a minute number of hardcore ROH fans will care about, Dynamite returns to form pushing some AEW talent on its AEW program. I’ve largely zoned out of the AEW cycle for the past few weeks and only caught glimpses here and there. I’m not going to dwell too much on the past (you can listen to the DTM-Cast episode posted yesterday for that), but I just want to talk about this Dynamite show, which has been, again, a return to form.

Lana Cries Foul At Brock Lesnar Not Being Buried Because He's A Professional

Reposting a comment I left on the article:
“What’s the difference between Brock walking out and Sasha and Naomi walking out?”

Drawing and star power aside, Brock came back and did his job, thus making him a professional in their eyes. Sasha and Naomi didn’t. Anyone with one-eighth of a functioning brain could figure this out even if they don’t agree with it.

Oh, by the way, remember when Steve Austin walked out in 2002 because he didn’t want to job to Brock Lesnar? Because I do. And I don’t remember him getting special treatment. He got suspended, buried, and had domestic issues. He eventually came back, but that was months after the fact.

If Sasha and Naomi come back, it’ll be water under the bridge. If not, then it won’t.
There’s having your girls’ backs and there’s being a brain-dead idiot. And unfortunately, she’s not the only one who has this mindset.
