Been catching up on Pro Wrestling NOAH since the "reboot" (actually just a return to form after they were bought by the company that also owns DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro, the only thing that really changed was the ring is no longer green). Only been watching Heavyweight Titles and tournament matches. Think this one's being slept on, it's stiff as fuck (like the crowd breaking the "Scream Inside Your Heart" rule because god-damn some of those shots connect), pretty high quality heavyweight division (I skip Juniors, already watch too many promotions as it is), had one of the weirdest wrestling matches I've ever seen in my life (GHC Heavyweight Champion Go Shiozaki vs former IWGP Heavyweight Champion and MMA Fighter Kazuyuki Fujita) and I'm just about to hit the Dave-rated 5-star match from December. Modern favourite is Kenoh ("Fist King", he's foul-mouthed, kicks a lot, thinks everything is a conspiracy theory against him, and has proclaimed that he's going to kill his next opponent in 3 seconds, which his next opponent is the guy who formed Pancrase with Minoru Suzuki so my body's ready), absolute fave is and always will be Naomichi Marufuji, inventor of probably every spot you love in modern wrestling with KENTA

Jesus CHRIST

Just been doing Genshin dailies to build up to the last two trophies

Slime S2E4 Slime-kun promised to produce the rest of Parasyte for the kids if they kept their grades up and I'm like "YOU SHOULDN'T BE SHOWING PARASYTE TO CHILDREN WHAT THE FUCK"

162 Oh my fucking SHIT Forgot to say too, one of the coolest battle scenes in the entire series is a non-canon filler episode (Non-canon as in the manga didn't show it, there's no reason it couldn't have happened just because the manga apparently skipped over a training arc while the anime decided to fill it in)

JuJutsu Kaisen 17 is easily the best episode when it comes to action and animation quality

HB@ye

ELP again insisted he spent the 9 months in Canada on lockdown Superkicking trees aka "Maple Motherfuckers" and then took off his boot to show us his Billie Eilish socks I hate him but I love him too

TBH, all I want is Omega/Okada 5 so Okada can get his win back and then they can shut the forbidden door again and lock it

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh dear THAT happened

Cool as FUCK https://www.wrapup.playstation.com/en-us/d8bea5bdddf9672b26932ceaf350575314298fb868658f1d091120883ab387c9/ 204 Hours in MGSV (Holy SHIT) and 203 hours in Genshin Impact 1374 Hours

One thing I will say about Danhausen in RoH: They paired him up with the exact right guy to feud with to get over his character. I watched last week's RoH (we get it on Sundays here and I DVR it) Brian Johnstone freaking out about him was awesome and now I am going out of my way to watch their youtube match

Bit of a warning because everyone hates this: the main character talks in an annoying yell (that you get used to and there is a :') reason for) and the first few episodes focus a ton on him but it gets better later as they introduce more characters.

Montreal has our number. We've played them 5 times out of 13 games and we're 1-4 with a combined score VAN 15, MTL 28. Tyler Toffoli might end up outscoring our entire team by the end of the year. And yeah, Canucks beat Ottawa 3 straight by a combined score of 16-1, got us back to .500 and really saved the early season 3 game series against the Leafs coming up next. If the NHL's not careful, they're gonna have to keep this division set-up in place (and add Seattle to it)

I was expecting the endless filler approach just because it's Studio Pierrot aka Bleach and Naruto and I was fine with it because Black Clover's characters are good enough, but I'm also cool with reverting to a seasonal approach now that they're caught up

The anime's going to be ending on March 30th apparently. Presumably since they're mostly caught up to the manga (?) that means we're getting normal seasons now?

Tyler Toffoli of the Montreal Canadiens has 9 goals so far this season. 8 are against the Canucks

Between this, Jay White apparently hearing voices and ELP in general, I think I like NJPW Bullet Club better than AEW/Impact Bootleg club, and that's a hard thing to say because Don Callis being a scumbag manager is one of my favourite things

Shingeki no KYOJIN

Tana vs Shingo was the fucking (PAMPING) BOMB(ER) Apparently ELP on commentary hyped it up as "Canadian Soccer Mom haircut of Tanahashi vs. the Deep South Walmart Mom haircut of Shingo"

I kind of just assume they want a meme wrestler on hand in case Orange Cassidy is where things are going (though they adjusted him to be more like Yano where he makes a joke out of his opponents rather than he is the joke, but I dunno how much the business recognizes that), and he was already working their house shows before the lockdowns, or at least there is Ring of Honor footage of him in front of crowds, I don't know if it was more than one show

Danhausen's the one thing I don't want in Ring of Honor right now, kind of just flies way too much in the face of everything else they're doing right now with the Pure Title and having more of a UFC-style serious interview segment before every match. Like we'll have an interview segment where Shane Taylor's talking about his house getting shot up because his father challenged the drug dealers on the block and how he can't wear a ski mask like Brodie King and actually get away with it, and then suddenly here's somehow doing '80s Beetlejuice (complete with comedy transitions during his entrance) And it's really weird that they even bothered, he'd fit more with Impact being anything goes or maybe AEW depending on if it's just ironic enough for Tony Khan

Episode 9
