Wish this were a bit more in depth, but it's still nice to see.

In an AEW world Non-weekly Japan/Indies: New Japan: Still watching everything, including most of the backstage comments All Japan: Still watching important Heavyweight and Heavyweight Tag matches only PWG: Slackin a bit, probs should do this on weeks when Japanese tours are off AAA TV Tapings: Also stopped doing this, but might check it out again now that Rush is on one of their big shows (but I'll see it on their Sunday shows anyways) Monday: WWE Raw: I fast-forward through probably 95% of it. Main-roster WWE has a way of making me not care about pretty anyone, so it takes a weird match-up or an interesting looking promo to get me to stop and pay attention. CMLL Puebla: Haven't been watching as much as I probably should, usually just the main events and/or title matches these days. CMLL losing Rush (and therefore the Los Ingobernables), Dragon Lee and Atlantis winding down has left their main event scene heel-heavy and a bit drained, and they rebuild slow. Tuesday: CMLL Nuevos Valores: Same as Puebla, haven't been watching as much as I probably want to, mostly just main events/title matches. I'm more likely to check out other matches on this because at least it's Arena Mexico NWA Powerrr: I usually watch all of this. Their roster isn't very good but the matches don't last long enough to expose that anyways, and I think Studio Wrestling crowds might be the best for cutting promos, there's an interplay between wrestler and crowd that you don't really get even on indie shows. AEW Darrrk: I'm more likely to skip these matches because the lower end of AEW's roster are not very good and the matches can get way too sloppy. Wednesday: WWE NXT: High Quality but I also find this show really skippable. Sometimes I watch all of it, sometimes I only watch a few matches. The week-to-week storylines don't matter tooooo much since the booking is so simplistic that you cant basically catch up on everything in Takoever packages. I think this also has the wrong combination of corporate PC/PG-ness and looking low-budget for a WWE product. AEW really exposes them on both fronts, watching Dynamite first really hurts my enjoyment of NXT and I tend to not want to put off watching AEW if I can help it. I really miss this being a 1 hour show too. AEW Dynamite: This is the show to watch for me. Production-values, brightness, characters, promos. They tightened up on a lot of the indie-ness and lack of rules last week, which I think is their biggest weakness, so here's hoping it gets even better. Thursday: WWE NXT UK: Super-skippable unless certain guys are on it (Imperium, British Strong Style, Zack Gibson, Wild Boar, and I think might be forgetting someone) Friday: WWE Smackdown: Like Raw but even less likely to watch it now. Weekends are so wrestling-heavy that I hate starting it off with a WWE main-roster product where I don't care about most of it, so I tend to not. WWE 205 Live: Shit's dead to me but if they're in Full Sail again then maybe I should give a look. CMLL Super Friday: I watch more of this than the other CMLL shows, but I do skip more of this than I probably should. Saturday: NOTHING Sunday: RoH: Rush matches, maybe Marty Scurll or PCO matches. There's only one or two full matches at most on RoH every week, this promotion should probably just die at this point. Impact: Rarely ever skip a segment, still the best non-Japanese show at recycling their roster and building new stars from scratch. 2 CMLL Shows: Mostly only title matches or rare singles matches, weekends can be so full of wrestling that this and RoH are the sacrifices if something else is on. AAA Worldwide: I mostly just watch this instead of their TV tapings now, usually the full show but once in awhile I'll skip an opener.

I haven't seen it yet but based on what normal people have said... I did agree with Hateful Eight though. I could watch those motherfuckers talk all day. I'll come back after I watch this one and probably tell you that you're fucking crazy.

Played for an hour or so now that I've finished a run through of Outer Worlds. Definitely weird and interesting. Bulk of the game seems like an 'extreme' walking simulator for lack of a better description, but the stealth bits can get really intense and the story is pure, unfiltered Kojima so it's definitely holding my attention. Definitely not for everyone though.

Watching parts of the Wrestle Kingdom Press Conference. Ospreay started pushing that the double-title tournament wasn't that popular with the Osaka crowd and said him and Hiromu should be in the main event of one of the shows instead, and goes off how he's been put in every match and every tournament when they need someone to have a big moment. And then Jay White comes out for his press conference with Naito, interrupts the press conference introduction to absolutely bury Ospreay, mentioning he hasn't won any of the tournaments he's been in put in and his big wins are limited, and tells him to stop whining about having to work so hard and just stop taking the opportunities if you don't want them. Fucking natural heel. I don't know if this is going to lead somewhere (it would tip off that Jay White is winning the double titles, and I don't think that's gonna happen at the Dome), but that felt so natural that even if they're not, they should start going that direction.
