Unless someone has actually played NNK, then any criticism on that game is perfectly valid. What a pretty looking but completely mindless game that was.
Flair also said:
- Owens was supposed to be in the main event of Raw originally (when he went home sick)
- Charlotte's supposed to face either Sasha or Bayley at WM right now.

We'll get yakuza kenzan one day
I hope it's Sasha. Putting Bayley in a title match at WM just three months after her debut would be insane.

I just used a translation FAQ, Kenzan rules. Also, Last Blade 2 > SFV.
Agreed.
The combat system was trash, everything else was either excellent or had real promise.
I watched this when you guys linked it in the thread.
These guys are fucking insane. That shit has to be so damaging to ones body.
Also the Havoc stuff in PROGRESS is another level. Can't wait to see where it goes from the initial turn. Hell the turn itself was simple but so incredibly effective and made a lot of sense.

For all they haven't exactly shone a spotlight on Sasha since she came up, they also haven't buried her at all. She gets regular wins (often dirty, but that's fine she's a heel) and she has rarely (never?) taken a pin or tap out as of yet. So I can buy the idea of them building her up.
Sasha might benefit from a little promo time - but alone, not in a dueling promo with Charlotte or anyone else. She should get a few minutes to establish The Boss character in her own words.
Sasha loses all the time actually.

That was something I really loved about the storyline, Havoc laid out his motivations in that original promo and they all made sense - there was a grain of truth to his grievances and, in a way, he had been wronged by PROGRESS and the fans. Just a really well thought out and executed turn, one of my favourite moments watching a show in person as well.

Straight shooting: I'd rather have sat through this weeks 2 hours of Smackdown filler than that 2 hour long Sony event.
Wrestlemania 31? Maybe parts of the John Cena open challenge?

But they showed you the entire story and outcome in the trailer..!
Hype for the sequel of a overhyped game. Its almost poetry.

Ni No Kuni is like the Roman Reigns of JRPGs.

Mankind wants to be loved by someone. Anyone. He was chosen by Vince (as Corporate Dude Love) as the one to beat Austin to bring home the belt but recently has been clinging to McMahon (his "daddy") like a little lost puppy. He just recently brought out Mr. Socko to cheer up Vince after Stone Cold put him in a hospital bed. All signs point to Vince rigging the tournament for him.

While it's very pretty, it can also actually do its job so I gotta disagree.

Would it be wrong for me to equate the intense desire some have to see Crash Bandicoot return around these gaming parts as bizarre as if we all here in Wrasslegaf suddenly decided we really needed X-Pac, in 2016?

I like all three and scrubs who get easily hurt (occasionally named Daniel or Bryan) don't. I agree

I want Xavier and Big E as voice actors in Final Fantasy 7 as Cait Sith and Barrett.
Amazing appearance, but bland once you get into it? Sounds about right.

I'm working through all the Lapsed Fan episodes and it's really highlighting how lousy Bryan and Vinny has become. I think Alvarez is burned out on the subject and brings a lot of negativity to all the podcasts he's on, which sadly is nearly every WO podcast. Somehow the Lapsed Fan hosts manage to elevate even the stupid things in pro wrestling, whereas most every Alvarez-helmed podcast makes even a good show come across as a total slog.
? Their NXT reviews are effusive, almost mark-ish praise, their ROH reviews are generally much the same and they absolutely gushed about the Crockett stuff that was put up on the network. The old TNA stuff that I listened to before the sub felt like it existed to be hilariously negative and even then they had praise for it in when they were doing the tail end of the New York tapings and the UK tour.
Now granted I've only just started with my WON sub but I've found the negativity revolves around Raw/Smackdown (which they stopped reviewing) plus related PPVs and is more or less justified.

Your opinion might change after a while. I've had my sub around a year, and I was absolutely in love with B & V for a long time. But now I feel like:
NXT reviews are basically play-by-plays followed by "this was awesome". PPV reviews are like that too.
ROH reviews are extremely rare.
TNA is something they switched to because Smackdown was too horrible, then proceeded to complain about how horrible TNA was.
In fairness, a show like Lapsed Fan has a lot more to draw from, but I've found a Lapsed Fan review of a pretty horrid WM like WM 2 was still more fun than practically any B & V review lately.
Like there are lengthy periods of Lapsed podcasts devoted to mocking whoever annoys one of them in the slightest like Bruce Hart (to a comical and distracting degree), HHH, Nash and most recently Bob Caudle who they rib on every other fucking minute in increasingly unfunny ways.
Maybe I will turn around on B & V but right now they are fun, concise and entertaining

I was sad that due to Vinny's busy schedule with his other site that he and Bryan and Craig had to stop with the RAW reviews on Tuesdays, but they still do it on Thursdays or Sundays I believe. I am behind though, I listen to most of the WO/FF podcasts and I'm up to around Nov 19. Meltzer and Bryan talking to someone about the life of Nick Bockwinkel.
I don't think Bryan or Vinny (or Craig) are burnt out on wrestling though. Its just RAW is really sucky right now. They get hyped with retro Nitro's and Raw's, like NXT a lot, marked out like crazy for Luca Underground, like many of the crazy matches in NJPW and other feds... they just don't like RAW/Smackdown. Honestly, I can't blame them. I know they've boycotted Smackdown until early next year. They'll watch it for a bit because WWE will treat it like an "A" show for a bit, but then I'm sure those guys will stop watching it because it'll be like how it is now... a nothing show.

Maybe it's me that's burned out on them. I think I got a bit fatigued with all the whats-being-watched-when reshuffling, the decline of Fig4 Dailies, Alvarez' kinda lousy treatment of his friends, etc. Perhaps when I'm through this 300+ hours of Lapsed Fans, I'll be whining about them and pining for B & Vs.

I used to love Granny and could not be more sick of her now. Maybe cause she never freaking friended me.
