- I liked using backstage WWE stuff with Jericho and Moxley, even though I kinda hate how WWE that segment was - They let MJF talk - Butcher and Blade was nerdy as fuck last week, slightly less this week. I like The Butcher's look - I dig the corny-ass Dark Order recruitment shit, but they need a Raven or a Bray Wyatt or someone of that ilk with the charisma to be a leader - Having PNP yelling about being THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST and then cutting to Excalibur going "PNP don't know what they've got themselves into" and it's the Young Bucks was completely backwards. PNP should be the scary ass street fucks and the Bucks should be the skinny nerds that you worry might get killed but they figure out a way to get out of it.

Angel Garza and Lio Rush had a mega-badass match on NXT

Ascension would probably do fine in some Japanese organization. Hunico might be useful in lucha, WWE made him a bigger star than he was otherwise going to be. Brodie Fucking Lee has the world at his feet.

Holy shit, they updated it

NXT was solid but skippable as usual.

That was a solid-ass wrestling episode of Dynamite. Really dug the Cody promo, wish there was more promo stuff like that. You can tell they're sort of searching around to see what they've got for potential star power.

Dragon Quest IV, wheelin' and dealin' in Chapter 3. Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World, in World 5. I actually like this more than I do the mainline Yoshi's Island games. They play the same but this doesn't have percentages to trigger perfectionism in me

Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World Was chill, I really liked some of the level gimmicks but they didn't really revisit too many of them so it also felt like each level had something interesting going for it. Liked it better than mainline Yoshi games because no Baby Mario and no percentages so I didn't have to bother with beating every level without getting hit or get got-mad because of my OCD. Except for the Boss Rush and the final secret level, which I didn't bother with, I otherwise got all the sunflowers, stamps and wool Yoshis.

Low-key the best part of this tag league has been KENTA's after-match promos. He has a spicy relationship going on with the camera, pretends that Ishii/TOMO and Goto/HIRO are boyband members, gets them confused because TOMO and HIRO still spells out Ishii's name, brings up their twitter beef but corrects himself when he pronounces twitter the Japanese way ("Tweet-er AH, I mean Twih-ter") and then ends every promo by making fun of how ugly Yoshi-Hashi is. We're currently in the phase where KENTA got jealous of camera-kun because he was talking to Yujiro alone (Kenta at the time was getting his ass beat by Goto), and now camera-kun's asking about KENTA hanging around Pieter all the time.

I'm acks interested in this AOP storyline. Seth being a nerdy prick and the AOP acting like The Shield did for CM Punk. If it's me...

2 or 3 songs or albums you've been listening to over the last week Everybody Dies

E20

Now with less Mauro Ranallo :( (Hopefully temporarily)

Generational differences rearing their head. We sorta knew about guys like Mike Keenan and John Tortorella anyways, doesn't shock me too much that there's more going on

This Bill Peters shit is pretty weird >Canucks >Up 6-3 against Penguins >Lose 8-6

That money exploit sure works

I liked parts of the opening bit, the Moxley promo and parts of the main event, but yeah. Forgettable at times, at other times bad. NXT definitely had the stronger show this week (even with that weird injury sub). Apparently Vince wanted to strap the rocket to Adam Cole and push him to the moon, but Keith Lee got to him first

I had nothing in my party that was effective against Fire Types, so I'd just send out Centiskorch and its ability would completely nullify fire attacks.

Toxel became my main Pokemon after it evolved

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. Finally beat Chapter 2, started Chapter 3 and this is the one I'm most interested in. Torneko Talloon the merchant is apparently beloved character to the Dragon Quest fanbase and this is the Chapter he's introduced in. I have a sneaking suspicion that Japanese salarymen identified with him because you actually do mind a shop and probably work towards owning one of your own (I met a character in Chapter 2 who's looking to sell his shop and retire, so that might be it). Pokemon Sword ofc. Also going to start Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World whenever my sister yoinks Sword.
