Leave it to a global crisis to make me tune back into WWE

I can get behind that.

Happy birthday, dude!

I don't know if I'll ever get around to this venture soon, but I wouldn't mind a resource to come back to when I do.

Yeah, I went to see Distant Worlds(the Final Fantasy orchestra) and it was breathtaking. They're actually coming back to Chicago in October for a FFVII exclusive performance as more hype for the remake.

I dig orchestral versions out of the context of the game. Like seeing an orchestra perform it live or just hearing different interpretations. But I'm rarely into the idea of doing that for the actual game. That said, I've heard the sentiment that Mera'din said, so I'm sure I'll be mostly into it come time for me to play the FFVII Remake.

I saw that last night. It's a work of art.

I thought Cody/MJF was pretty disappointing. Something felt missing for all the build there was. Wasn't feeling Dustin/Hager or Nyla/Statlander. But everything else was rad.

Don't worry, I already knew you'd ask. I'm still making picks, and probably commenting on results. And I can see being conned into watching WrestleMania just because I usually get together with friends. But I'm just kinda over watching the regular product right now.

I hope that's true. I just saw the bracket after you mentioned that, too, and damn that looked stacked. I'd be down for an old-school style tournament of a bunch of quick matches for the first 3/4 of balls to the wall action, then give us some epic semi's and final.

I officially cancelled my WWE Network subscription. I've been the positive, yet skeptical WWE fan for too long, and with a proper Western alternative, I don't see the point anymore. I'm skipping WrestleMania this year and pirating NXT. There are a couple cool things going on at 'Mania so far, and I hope all my boys and girls get what they deserve and have an excellent showing and WWE rights their wrongs. But for now, I'm done tagging along until they get it right with their booking.

Happy belated Bday, Mera'din!

Damn, outright cancelled? No postponement or anything? The anniversary show is one thing, but having a year without the New Japan Cup just doesn't feel right.

That's awesome. It's too bad this wasn't a thing when Air Boom was around. That was actually a solid tag team that really started finding its stride right as Evan Bourne got suspended. I went from thinking it was a lazy tag combination to being pissed that their reign ended so abruptly.

Part of me wonders if WWE has chilled on people smoking weed recently with the rise of legalization. They've been making plenty of jokes about Matt Riddle, and Dawkins has made a very blatant joke on TV before. Maybe they're just capitalizing on previous personalities, or perhaps the talent just knows how to avoid getting caught on tests. But really, I feel like if they're not baked while they wrestle, what's the problem?

I'm catching up on the last episode of NXT, then I'll be posting my picks.

Not sure how I feel about him being Batman particularly, but having seen him in High Life, I think he gets a bad rap based on being typecast through Twilight. The dude can act when he's not forced to be a goth teen heartthrob.

Well, fucking hell. I think my top matches go Hiromu/Lee, then Moxley/Suzuki, followed by Naito/KENTA. The first half had some good bouts that didn't stand out, but these last three were gold. Hell of a tour in general, really. Maybe the first time I've been hyped for all of the big New Beginning shows.

Mox/Suzuki is one of those matches that I could pick out imperfections, but it added to the vibe of the match. Really unique feeling, and a wonderful clash of personalities I didn't know I wanted so bad, yet felt so right. One of my favorite matches of the year so far. Watching Naito/KENTA now

Hiromu and Ryu Lee had another terrifying classic. In other news, water is wet.

Hell of an arc. I'm a bit bummed, though, about:
