Still Pushing OG Switch… Also Spaceballs

It’s been a week or so since the debut of Switch 2 and… I haven’t gotten one yet.

Those who know me or frequented this blog knows that I had intended on waiting. Granted, I did put myself up for a pre-order slot in case the early showcase of launch fare impressed me enough to actually jump the gun… but what was there… didn’t sell me on the console at launch. Pricing also didn’t help matters; if it’s not the consoles, then the games themselves. Thanks, but no thanks.

In any event, I’ve still got more than enough stuff on Switch to play. There’s a backlog of stuff that I really need to start burning through, I’ve got plenty of Mario Maker stuff that I’d like to get cleared up, and really, there’s more than enough mileage left in the old bugger that I have a feeling there’s going to more stuff coming. I may end up getting another Switch if those go down in price… probably one of those OLED units with the nice screen.

I can wait on Switch 2. Hopefully, a price drop will occur, but right now, I’ve got enough stuff to keep me entertained.

In other news, they’re making another Spaceballs movie… due in 2027.

Finally, a real Star Wars movie to look forward to.

AEW Dynamite (June 11th, 2025) – Half A Spectacular

Hey, look… an AEW Dynamite musings.

No way in hell am I sitting through FOUR HOURS of wrestling programming in a row in the middle of the week no matter who’s booking this thing, so you’re just getting the Dynamite portion of this summer spectacular or whatever they called it… which is fine by me, because I’m told that the Collision portion of the program is where things fall off a cliff. I guess I’ll take their word for it, but anyway… a brief summation of what I’ve seen.

We open with a Will Ospreay/Swerve Strickland match that ends in a 30-minute time limit draw, which then brings out the Death Television Riders to beat up Swerve and Ospreay eats a tacked Superkick for good measure. The match was your usual Ospreay goodness/hackiness… whatever floats your boat. This is followed by MJF mocking the fomer Sin Cara before the Hurt Business come out to beat a bunch of guys in a six-man, which was a thing that happened. At this point, it’s just the Hurt Business beating the shit out of dudes, which is fine. But this thing with MJF? Doesn’t work for me, brother. I think we’re at the point where MJF feels like someone you add to an act that’s hot and you want to kill it.

And so this is followed by Hangman getting ambushed by the DT Riders or whoever and Moxley cutting a quick promo before some guys come out to run off the DTRs. After a forgettable women’s match – no, seriously, I know someone made a return and it’s their first match back, but considering how talent gets signed and showcased for a couple weeks before shoved into the back of the corner, it’s not worth getting back. And finally, the show ends with a contract signing between Kenny and Okada, with Okada seemingly associated with Don Callis because… sure, why not?

By the way, Kenny, Ken Shamrock called. He said he wants his fake blood capsules back.

Look, the one thing you can’t say is that they’re not building towards this All In show in Texas. I wouldn’t call it a great show because a lot of the stuff on here is just “meh”, but it’s putting in the work to get people interested in this show. Apparently, from what I’ve been told, the Collision portion of the program is where things supposedly fall off a cliff. I guess I’ll take their word for it.

WCW Bash At The Beach 1994

Why am I watching a show featuring Hulk Hogan?

Well, we’re looking at old WCW shows. It’s bound to happen anyway… and besides, I never actually SAW this show and it’s one of my DVD recordings from when WWE Network was a channel on TV that I could record stuff off of. And so here we are… so if this pops up on the WCW Youtube channel somewhere along the way, that’s probably the best way to check this show out because otherwise… eh…
