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.

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

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.

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.

The thing I don't really get: Vince McMahon isn't racist in the sense that he hates PoCs, but Vince is racist in the sense that if he thinks it will make him money, he'll do it regardless of any insensitivity unless it'll hurt business somehow, and even then, there is a certain amount of money or value where he'll stop giving a fuck even with the bad publicity. That filters down through his company, which means that for the most part, race isn't going to be an issue that's taken seriously in the backstage either way, it's just something to work the crowd with to make money. This has been true for decades. I don't know why people think Vince is the kindly Walt Disney grandfather of pro wrestling and then show up and somehow act shocked or surprised when things like this happen. It's par for the course when it comes to WWE, even down to ignoring the Gucci incident in pop culture and using that as internal lesson to avoid something like this, because upper management are old and rich and therefore don't pay attention to pop culture (or maybe in WWE's case, they think they ARE pop culture rather than just a reflection of it)

He wasn't happy with the offensive T-Shirt that they're selling with his name on it and has been publicly calling out the WWE, Vince and Hunter over it. He trashed the WWE system and how they still employ Hogan, posted a video with him flipping the bird and saying "WWE doesn't care about black people" and called Jay Lethal an Uncle Tom (RoH even catching some bullets).

ACH/Jordan Myles testing if WWE actually will fire anyone or not. Also apparently the NXT roster hasn't gotten their pay upgraded and some of them aren't seeing the progression they want (probably to the main roster). Oh boy

Link's Awakening Beautiful art-style and music (mostly, the blur is kind of annoying), I wish more of the old 2D Zeldas were remade with this style. As far as a recreation of Link's Awakening with better graphics and music, it's pretty much perfect. As far as being a full price Switch remake offering more than what was in the original package, it's pretty lackluster. I guess it at least adapted the Game Boy Colour version and the extra dungeon. I played the dungeon-maker only as much as I needed to get all the Hearts and Seashells (which I did do) and it was okay but nothing blow-away, felt more tacked-on than otherwise. Didn't bother playing Hero/Hard Mode or whatever it's called.
