In the latest chapter of WWE Vs. Twitch, WWE is going to begin the process of taking control of their roster’s various Twitch channels. They’ll gain the revenue, with a small cut given to talent against their downside guarantee. Will this be the thing that causes disgruntled people to finally act or will this be something they “get used to” because they’re just happy to be there?

Hey, idiots! If you want people to stop bashing WWE for stupid shit, then tell WWE to stop doing stupid shit.

RAW After Mania (April 2nd, 2001): It All Started Here

Oy… it’s that show.

Wrestlemania X-Seven has been touted as one of (if not THE) greatest Wrestlemania card of all time. It had top to bottom great matches, all the big stars, some exciting moments, and was the first stadium show in a good long while… and then Steve Austin turned heel in the main event and that began the downward spiral of the McMahon sports entertainment empire.

Review #750 – Super Metroid (Super NES)

It’s taken me quite a bit to get this one out, but here it is. The game whose homework Koji Igarashi copied to get out making more games about a guy/gal with a whip fighting vampires and inadvertently introduced an ill-fitting term… because it should technically be SUPER Metroid-Vania since THIS is the homework being copied, not Metroid classic.

Variety Tries To Figure Out Why Nobody Is Watching WWE Anymore

Spoiler: they say the same things everyone else has been saying for years. Product isn’t good as it used to be, it’s too juvenile, kids aren’t watching, Saudi Arabia, and the independent contractor status among things being brought up. The fact that mainstream media is picking up on it – even if it is just Variety and not much more than that – seems a bit troubling.

I wouldn’t read too much into this, however. Wrestling is that fake bullshit, after all, and doesn’t merit proper coverage unless someone dies from a steroid overdose or something. I can’t imagine this Andrew Lang thing lasting any longer than the current election cycle before it’s promptly forgotten about when we no longer need to cater to those hick rasslin’ fans who probably don’t even know what a polling station is.

Oh, well. It’s a fun read for anyone who wants to pretend people give one modicum of a rat’s ass about WWE.
