Rush and Dragon Lee joined AAA. Dragon Lee definitely has an avenue to AEW now.

I missed some pieces of Fabric somewhere and only did about 5 or 6 Devilish Mode levels before deciding not to do the rest. Definitely the best version of the game. It got flack back in the day for not allowing you to die but the challenge is more in not getting hit and losing your beads. Devilish Mode added death and an enemy who pops up and dogs you throughout the level, so that little bit that was missing from it is now here (I didn't do it because in order to collect everything, you have to beat every level without getting hit in this mode, Kirby in some ways and the UFO transformation in particular don't control well enough to bother with that). I ended up really liking the Dedede and Meta Knight Mini-games and kinda wished they included more levels in both. The space-shooter levels reminded me that I'm getting old as my hands start to hurt if I have to rapidly tap buttons (especially such a small device). There's a lot more in this game than I remember there being, cute and good music and a good-ass game but not really a great-ass game. It does make me look forward to playing Yoshi's Woolly World and Crafted World, which I do plan to do in the near future. Fire Emblem next, though.

MJF was on colour commentary on AEW Dark this week. I like how he's basically Young Jim Cornette and hating all the things Cornette does just because he knows it'll get him heat with that crowd. Also JESUS CHRIST as the end

God, that Cody promo They got me, I'm pulling for Cody Rhodes to win the title

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.

Vol 30/257-266

Oh man, that last match on NXT

I think Jericho just loves attention no matter what. I know I'll be listening to it

@Garlic Junior I think it's in Part 3

Haven't seen it if it makes him sympathetic in any way, I don't think I want to see it

E17

I'd be skipping out on that one next time

Got to it a bit late. NXT is good wrestling (that fucking finish to Trevor Lee/Tyler Bate) but I'm starting to feel staleness from it. Some of the matches are wayyyyy too long too.

They'd call up NXT guys in the event of a unionization, but then they have no one on NXT able to war with AEW. Also the people trying to unionize would get fired, which means a dispersal of high-quality talent with WWE-television exposure suddenly available for AEW, RoH, Impact, NJPW's American expansion, the UK indy scene, AAA etc.

Vol 29/247-256

Apparently the Saudis didn't pay Vince a lot of money, so Vince ordered the Saudi feed cut off and in retaliation the Saudis kicked talent off whatever plane they were using. If anyone chartered a flight out, they got out, everyone else had to wait for [however they ended up flying out]. Also WWE is apparently trying to cover it up and get any talent on video to say it was a mechanical issue. Also it apparently can go deep enough that if WWE knew the Saudis were going to stiff them on pay, there's a massive inside trading scam they can get fucked by.

What a fucking main event

Large portion of the Smackdown crew have been held back in Saudi Arabia and it apparently wasn't for plane or weather issue. Vince got out of there on his own plane. Rumours ofc start flying (unlike the SDL roster) that he had a disagreement with the Saudis over something. They won't be able to make it back in time for SDL so they'll be running either with a light crew or an emergency crew. Pussy-ass Vince probs should've stayed behind regardless what the issue is.

Beat Link's Awakening, was all right overall. Great as a straight-up remake, but very little new to justify a full-priced Game Boy port. Still grinding here and there on Dragon Quest IV in Chapter 2. Started playing Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. Chill as fuck, don't know if I'll do the devilish mode/collectibles yet.

Still not on a lot. I go in waves. 2 or 3 Songs or Albums you're rocking with right now

MJF with a killer interview segment

Solid-ass wrestling show with NXT. Dat Tower of Doom in the main event I've only seen the opening tag match so far. I hate how AEW ignores tag rules. Either mostly stick to the rules or institute lucha tag rules.
