I ramble about things.

Does The World Really Need A Call Of Duty Movie?

So, apparently, The Rock had teased his involvement in another video game cinematic adaptation that he claims is based on one of the most badass video games ever. According to the above article (and some others as well), the project in question is rumored to be Call Of Duty.
Someone help me out here because I’m a bit confused. Do you really need a Call Of Duty movie in your life? I get that we’re going to have these war movies glorifying the military forces and such, but do we really need to call it Call Of Duty? It’s not like Call Of Duty has a diverse universe waiting to be mined or anything; they’re a series of interchangeable video games with interchangeable characters (or caricatures, if you prefer) set in interchangeable settings. Hell, I asked the same thing when I heard there was a movie based on the Need For Speed games; what’s the point of using that name for your car movie?

AEW Dynamite (February 2nd, 2022): Brandi Killed The Show

Dynamite was a weird show, mostly because I missed a good chunk of it and the DVR was fucked.
So it was supposed to open with Jon Moxley vs. Brian Kendrick, until Kendrick was yanked because someone uncovered some stupid shit that he said years ago. If people got shitcanned because of shit they said years ago, everyone would be fired. So, instead we got Mox killing that Wheeler Yuta kid, and then Bryan Danielson comes out and invites Mox to join forces with him. Interesting turn of events. Go watch the promo.
Then they followed that with a Brandi Rhodes segment and I turned off the show to do other stuff, but mostly because I had no desire to sit through Brandi trying to be Stephanie McMahon. It’s the first time I’ve ever shut off an AEW show because of something they put on screen. I wonder if that’s something Brandi will twit on her Twitter, but she’ll probably get ratings or something. Don’t know. Don’t care. Sorry.
Eventually, I came back in time to catch the main event and what a main event that was. MJF defeated CM Punk twice on this show; first with a taped gimmick that slipped and when the ref saw it, he restarted the match, which made fans assume Punk would win. Then Wardlow would come out, distract Punk while he discreetly passed on TEH RING to MJF, who used it to KO PG Punk for the win. By the way, this was in Chicago and the hometown guy got beat… TWICE. I lament the tired WWE trope, but in this case, it works well here because this would end up being a big win for MJF.
Anyway, that was a show from what I saw. Better luck next week, I suppose.

There Goes The Money – Shane McMahon GONE From WWE

So, apparently, Shane booked the Rumble and made himself a big deal. People were upset. Booking plans supposedly leaked which included matches against Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, and even his being part of that Elimination Chamber match for the WWE title. Yes, 52 year old SHANE MCMAHON competing for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He probably should’ve waited three years if he wanted to be the old WWE Champion, because Vince won it at 54 in 1999.
Well, none of that is happening, because apparently Shane is gone from WWE… maybe he can go buy WCW or TNA or ROH or something and we can have a big ol’ failed Invasion. Hell, you could bring in Stephanie and she can be the owner of GCW or something.
I tried.

The Wrld On GCW (Jan. 23rd, 2022 PPV)

Another year, another Royal Rumble… that I haven’t watched yet. But I did see that big Game Changer Wrestling show from the Manhattan Center that took place the week prior and so I’m going to share some brief thoughts on that. This is my first GCW show and… well… how diplomatic do you want me to be?

For the record, there are a lot of folks on this show that I’m largely unfamiliar with, so I’ve had to look up some of these names for the sake of not having a whole bunch of briefs being “this guy beat that guy” or some similar bit of vagueness. There’s more than enough vagueness that goes along with these things in the first place, so… here we go.
