EPIC MATCH! Kenny Omega Vs. Undetaker! In WWE Video Game.
“Granny gave this a 4.”
-Bryan Alvarez
An old 2017 video from Youtuber GLORY ACID is talked about on the latest episode of the Bryan And Vinny Show. For those who haven’t heard the episode in question, Bryan’s grandmother – who does a weekly segment on the show where she reviews wrestling matches – came across a match between Kenny Omega and Undertaker that baffled the hosts because both work for different promotions. And then they found the video above.
So now you can see for yourself is the match was really worth the “4” that Granny gave it. Chances are Dave Meltzer would give this 4 1/2 stars because Kenny Omega is in it. And if it were Tokyo Dome, add 5 more stars or something.
Are we killing this joke dead yet? I think we might have.
WWF In Your House 16: Canadian Stampede
Happy Canada Day, everybody. Let’s celebrate by watching what may very well be Bret Hart’s last crowning moment in the WWF. The Canadian Stampede In Your House PPV eminating from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Context is required for those who wasn’t watching WWF television in 97 or just aren’t familiar with wrestling in general, but this show took place during a time when Bret Hart, once beloved fighting champion, turned on American wrestling fans for cheering anti-hero bad guy types like Steve Austin and booing honest good guys like him. As a result, you had this weird dynamic where Bret Hart (and his brother Owen, his brother-in-laws Davey Boy and Jim, and family friend Brian Pillman) were booed in the United States, but cheered everywhere else.
And then there was Canada, who not only bought into what Bret was selling, but actually cheered him on as an actual honest-to-goodness Canadian hero. And the Hart family was treated as the closest thing to wrestling royalty as you can get within this Canadian territory. So when you had this show in Calgary, the home of the Harts, just guess how people reacted to these guys.
Anyway, on with the show… the final two-hour In Your House PPV event, as the next IYH event would be three-hours; the standard running time for wrestling PPVs until the WWE Network came along and now PPVs are marathon shows… but I digress.
WCW New Blood Rising
So this is a double whammy of sorts for Canada Day and I wanted to get this show out of the way while it was still somewhat fresh. Later on, I’ll be posting the musings for the Canadian Stampede In Your House event (alongside a couple non-wrestling bits), but for today… heh, heh, heh.
It’s New Blood Rising, WCW’s other PPV taking place in Canadian soil and on this night, the event is held in Vancouver, BC. Featuring Calgary’s own Lance Storm defending his prestigious Canadian championship against Mike Awesome in what may very well be the greatest match of Lance Storm’s professional wrestling career.

Warning: Some missing sprites may be missing. Blame the rendering software for that bit. In any case, here’s some rambling over Atari Vault and Ataribox stuff. Have fun.
Mega Man Maker: DTM10 – Wily Underworld
