RA2:SE review… ??? LULZ1

I mentioned in a previous blog post that my hard drive containing my video archive crashed and I have been rebuilding these rendered videos using the raw Vegas files. Unfortunately, due to my earlier inexperience and mismanagement of files, I lost a couple reviews. One of them was Rebel Assault II, the 2010 review. I was originally going to do a rebuild of the file, but I think it would be partly interesting to put together a “special edition” of the review. This would include re-ripped footage, re-edits, and possibly a redub.

The re-edit MIGHT be seen online. We’ll see. 

TNA Finally Did It…

They produced an episode of Impact Wrestling that was actually entertaining, with good storylines, good wrestling, and actually piqued my interest for next week’s show. Not only that, but it was a substantially better show than RAW was… not say much considering RAW was one of those putrid three-hour shows… but still, this is a stark improvement over the past year’s rubbish and if they keep putting out programming like this, I might be more inclined to follow them and give it a go.

(2020 Update: A pity that the show was so good, I couldn’t be bothered to provide any details on why it was a good show. I may have consumed something that altered my thought patterns, but then again, stranger things have happened.)

nWo Souled Out (1997)

I recently came across a blog post somewhere in which the author had done a recap/review of the 1997 PPV event, nWo Souled Out. nWo Souled Out was the first and only PPV event promoted by the nWo and was a different kind of beast compared to what the WWF or WCW were offering at the time. Reading this review had prompted me to do my own little reflection on the show.

I never saw the show “live” during its original 1997 airing. At the time, I was not yet into wrestling as much as I would eventually become a year later when the WWF Attitude era was in full force. However, I did dabble a bit in the weekly WCW Saturday Night that would air on one of the local channels (forget which one) and it’s usually through that I usually get into the storylines. So I knew about the nWo and the Hogan heel turn and the Outsiders and whatnot… while mostly oblivious to what was going on in McWrestling Land. When I heard of an nWo-promoted PPV, my wheels were turning a bit. The most I got was the pre-show; no PPV purchasing powers at the time or even a descrambler box.

So I would not bare witness to Souled Out until a year or so ago when someone got me a copy of the show. Now I have read that this show wasn’t any good; it was different but not quite good and not worth the effort in tracking down. Despite this, however, I always had a vested interest in watching this show. So with copy on hand, I plopped the show onto my DVD player and began watching the show. What follows are some points and thoughts that occur throughout the show – don’t expect any indepth analyses or anything of that nature. Just good old fashioned rambling.

TNA Slammiversary X (2012)

This month marks TNA’s tenth anniversary and whatever you want to say about the promotion – and I’ve said quite a bit particularly these past couple years – the fact that it’s still around is worthy of celebration. So here are some quick notes that I’ve gathered and believe it or not, I actually have nice things to say about this show.

Yes, I’m going to be complimentary towards a TNA PPV.

The Pizza Head Show On Star Wars

Part of a series of skits featuring Pizza Head, a slice of pizza with a face on it and former pitchman of Pizza Hut. Its relevance in the tag involves cross-promotion with the release of the Star Wars Trilogy Special Editions released in theaters that year.

This should make a comeback as it’d be cool with the kids today.
