Reggie Is Ready… For The Old Folk's Home

So Reggie, the president of NoA and the face of 1000 internet memes, is stepping down and moving on to retirement. Apparently, years of avoiding having to answer questions of Mother 3 have finally caught up with him, prompting him to take Guile’s advice about going home and being a family man. Replacing Reggie will be Doug Bowser – insert joke here – who joined up in 2015 after a stint at Electronic Arts.

Wait a minute, you mean a guy named BOWSER used to work at EA?

The fix is in, ladies and gentlemen. Nintendo is fucked for sure.

Enjoy retired life, Reggie. Thanks for the memories, the memes, and for killing everyone’s hopes of a Mother 3. Now everyone can bug BOWSER for Mother 3… or 4… or whatever. Who cares?

Regularly Scheduled MMPR Returns To Comics In Issue 40

And apparently, the series is jumping ahead to the White Ranger days… and we’re getting another “event” comic story called “Necessary Evil.” Which means it’s probably an excuse to bring back that Drakkon character again. On the flip side, it’s from the same fellow who’s currently writing the secondary Go Go comic, which is actually quite nice.

In any event, it’ll be a long wait before we get back to the title characters being advertised because the current “Grid” story is doing nothing for me right now.

“So, Thor. I want you to give me the hammer so I can have something nice to give Pepper.”

“Sorry, Stark. But that does not work for me, brother.”

OR

“I snap my fingers and half the universe is gone.”

“That doth not worketh for me, brother-eth.”

Plenty of jokes you can go with that one.

France Now Recognizes Competitive Lightsabering As Sport

If there was a Darth Vader facepalm, I would use it.

I mean, come on. They’re not even using actual lightsabers; they’re just props that glow in the dark. Where’s the limb cutting and decapitation?

Welp… At Least She’ll Be It In…

So D-X is going into the Hall of Fame… because of course they are.

Hey, look at it this way. It might not be the ideal set of circumstances, but those wanting to see Chyna finally get her place in the HOF will get to see it happen… even if it is part of a group and not for her own accomplishments.

On the flip side, looks like McSon-In-Law found a way to give himself a fancy ring.

Impact Wrestling Pursues New Bottom Of The Barrel With Low Ratings

TLDR version: Since debuting on the Pursuit Channel, Impact Wrestling only draws roughly 10,000 viewers, which is about as much as a typical Youtube video with some semblance of popularity behind it. This is just sad. At this point, you may as well start airing the shows on Youtube since you’ll probably get more viewers that way.

When all is said and done, the quality of a show – no matter how good or bad it may be – means nothing if nobody has the channel its airing on. I guess we might as well wave the flags and bring the calls for the Death of TNA or something like that.
