Want More AEW Musings? Get Tony Khan Off Twitter.

So I was going to sit down and watch the latest edition of Dynamite that I have recorded on PVR; the episode was supposed to be really good and I wanted to support new AEW World Champion Samoa Joe on his long-deserved World title run on a major wrestling show. I like to be able to enjoy the Hangman Page/Claudio match, which was a tremendous bit of action. I want to be able to enjoy the Brodie Lee Tribute 8-Man match, which was loads of fun. There’s stuff I want to enjoy that I thought were pretty good and I wanted to write about all of that.

But I really don’t want to reward bad behavior.

Tony Khan is a madman on Twitter, bitching about people complaining about Hook getting a title shot at Samoa Joe’s world title while no one is batting an eye over perennial loser Jinder Mahal getting a World title shot out of the blue. I say madman because from what I’ve seen, NOBODY is complaining about Hook getting a title shot and a great MAJORITY of people are wondering why a guy who hasn’t won a match in over a year is getting a World title opportunity on RAW, even if it is the consolation prize World title held by Seth Rollins. I would very much like to see this part of the world where nobody is hindering Jinder and everyone is shitting on Hook.

TK thinks he’s being clever by bitching about something online that the other guys are doing and then he sneaks in a tweet hyping up his big show. The problem with that strategy – and something that is EASILY verifiable by even the most inept social media user – is that the end result is everyone making fun of TK and calling him a fucking tool because he let one bad tweet get to him. He thinks that every bit of social media that doesn’t immediately praise him or his booking as what the cool kids call “god tier” is an attack on his very being. Is this his way of fearing for his online life or is this more of those anti-AEW bots that he likes to bring up every so often?

I wanted to give Dynamite another run. I was actually looking forward to it. But then TK had to go and be a fucking Twitter fool and now that’s all I’m thinking about. AEW has some issues that need fixing and one of them involves the guy on top. Keep him off Twitter or on a tight leash where he’s doing nothing but promoting matches on his shows and I might give this another try. I’m done with backstage drama tainting the wrestling shows I watch. I would very much like to enjoy these shows unhindered.

No pun intended.

VECTREX WEEK
From Monday, January 29th to Friday, February 2nd, you’ll be getting daily reviews of Vectrex games. The games will pop up as they do. From there, we’ll be doing the Viewer Mail Month gimmick that was mentioned a couple months back. Should be fun.

FINAL YEAR OF DTM-CAST
In case you missed the last episode, I made the announcement that this year was going to be the final year of the DTM-Cast and that the show would be formally ending on Episode 250. The series will resume its regular monthly schedule, which means the final episode will likely land in August. I’ll go deeper into the decision to end the show on the next episode, but needless to say, this opens up the possibility for something else to fill the void in the future. We’ll see.

On that note…

POWER RANGERS REFLECTIONS – Looking Back At Cosmic Fury
In a couple weeks time, I’ll be posting my thoughts and musings on the last season of Power Rangers by bringing back the old Reflections format. I’ll be doing three such posts covering the series, along with any random thoughts that I had watching the show progress. Hopefully, this will be the start of regular updates, but no word on how we’re going to progress afterwards or how often new posts will be uploaded. Again, we’ll see.

OTHER STUFF DOWN THE PIKE
There’s other stuff in the works… but I’m not ready to announce those yet for fear of IRL stuff… is that what the cool kids call real life stuff?

Anyway, that’s it for now. Later.

ADDITIONAL BLOG NOTES
So in addition to the standard State Of The Blog updates that were posted on the old Blogger space, I’ve decided to amend these posts with additional notes regarding the slow building of this WordPress space, with the intention of eventually moving that whole blog over to this space. A lot of the stuff has made the cut and I’ve spent the better part of a year cataloguing each and every post, including everything from the Blogger site, as well as material from the old DTM Blog, Webstation, and various other things that I’ve had buried in the woodworks.

For the moment, I’m focused on getting some of the more recent stuff working and getting everything up to snuff. At the very least, I’d like to get all the video stuff and major Blogger stuff up and about before the big changeover happens. And even that depends on whether other things don’t pop up… so this additional blogger notes will keep track of all the background happenings of this WordPress space. Not much use for anyone in particular other than to keep track of things.

Kevin Dunn Leaving WWE…

Source: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/kevin-dunn-reportedly-leaving-wwe

Well, it truly is the end of an era now that the old “Bucky Beaver Mother Fucker” himself, WWE executive producer Kevin Dunn, is parting ways with the company that has employed his services for close to four decades. Regardless of what you thought of the man or how he produced television, he was always a major part of that WWE machine and there’s no doubt that there will be some huge shoes to fill. Hopefully, ol’ KD will enjoy the fruits of his labor… or maybe he’ll start a podcast… or maybe he’ll be the next AEW signee to fill the void left by Andrade.

Either way, we wish Kevin Dunn the best in all of his future endeavors.

The Winners And Losers Of 2023

Hey, kids… it’s that time, again.

The Winners And Losers of 2023 is here and… well, we’ll see.

2023 has been a rather trying year both personally and entertainment-wise. It got to the point where finding genuine winners of the year was a bit of a struggle. When I revisit the list every few weeks, I end up with more losers and middle-grounders than actual winners and that is somewhat troubling. There are memorable aspects to this year, but nothing that can be considered true highlights. With that in mind, it isn’t a total wash of negativity and there are some bright spots to be had… so let’s start with those.
