You know what they say, the past is the past and we move on....yeah.

Let's talk wrasslin.

I'm ready for Kevin Owens on the main roster....let's do this.

Been too long since I had a wacky wrasslin' dream.
I legit just had a dream about NES cartridges. So I'm looking through the glass display at a Goodwill thrift store while overhearing a conversation that an employee and a customer are having beside me about PS2 a/v and power cables. If you know anything about Goodwill then you know that they do a laughable job of displaying video game stuff in their glass display cases, often covering up the entire label of GBA games with price tags and just generally positioning games and accessories in such a way that the title and/or price is completely obscured. 9/10 the stuff has been picked through already and it's just licensed Disney Channel or Nickelodeon crap that's left. Anyway this guy's looking for PS2 cables while I'm crouched down and seeing nothing I want to buy. The employee mentions there might be cables in this zippered up carrying case looking thing. He opens the bag and tilts it forward towards me and boom, a stack of NES games is inside, I only remember Double Dribble and TMNT Arcade from the dream but there were like 6 games in there that I don't have. There's a moment were I'm just thinking "f*ck". Of course the guy looking for PS2 cables asks to see the games and by this point a neck beard has magically materialized behind me and is aggressively positioning himself to catch any table scraps this guy leaves behind. The games are 99 cents each. Then I woke up.

I think the lesson I'm taking away from it is to always ask an employee to open up the case for me. I never do because I know I'm not going to buy anything and I don't want to bother them. But from now on, eff it.




My fault, that's a 1-up trick for the Japanese version of SMB2.

Apparently a new 1-up trick was discovered last year for SMB1 that's unrelated to the stairs trick you mentioned. Seems easy enough to do when you use the warp zone.

I tried doing the established trick on 3-1 and nearly launched my controller against the wall when I failed the 3rd straight time, then just shut off the console.
 
Anyone seen San Andreas yet? My wife wants to go see it next week!

Also I thought TNA did a good job with LAX and Hernandez, probably one of the few groups they booked well. Although saying that... Team Canada were fun too. Serotonin not as much. 3 Live Kru were annoying, and S.E.X were far too Russo.

Beer Money....felt like a classic early WCW tag team. It sucked when they broke up.
 
I always found The Disciples of the New Church interesting, but they never really did much with it as a group. It was just a random stable name that had one or two wrestlers being managed by Father James Mitchell.

Ah, I miss old crazy TNA.

Mr. breath, will you be collecting games for the Sega Genesis? This video game system was better known by socialists as the Sega Mega Drive.

Owens tweeted about getting another 2 shirts by tomorrow holy shit this guy is getting a real deal push. Probably one of the quickest ascensions we've ever seen right?

Boy did they fuck up LAX. That team should've lasted 3, or 5 years on top. Instead they fed them to fucking Team 3D in that godawful electrified cage match.

The Xbox didn't exist at this time, Data West. Imagine if PepsiCo aligned itself with Nintendo 64 at that time to get an idea of the magnitude of today's rumor.

The PC Master Race was masterfully scarfing down Dortieos and Dews while playing Quake at the time, friend Bean. On Microsoft's Operating System.

It's far too early in the game to make a snap judgement and write Microsoft off completely. They could have simply pivoted their strategy, partnering with another snack manufacturer like Barcel and their Takis brand corn tortilla snacks.

Oh god, I remember that now - one of the worst things I've ever watched (in and out of wrestling). Ergh, I forgot that's LAX ended... I thought they just faded once Konnan tried to sue TNA. Did Chavo & Hector join at one point?

Microsoft, realizing they've lost the lucrative dudebro market will instead target the burgeoning Latino demographic with a Xbox Fifa bundle in partnership with Takis and Jaritos.

Kevin Owens and John Cena should have a series of matches in which they loss their titles to each other.
Kevin Owens begins his WWE journey as the man who beat Cena for the title and Cena begins his NXT era putting over the future stars.

Don't think so, Chavo teamed with Hernandez when he came in though
