This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

We've seen how uncoordinated Allie is on TikTok, that she can even run the ropes is a miracle

I know we talk about character work a lot here when we're trying to compliment less talented wrestlers, but Allie's really good at it and all she needed was to scale her ring work up from bad to competent. AEW's training sessions seem to have done that, which says a lot to me about their coaching staff and how they guide talent.

THE LIAR

JOHN CENA posted:

its weird how the dreamcast is considered a failure (really its only a failure due to the distrust in the market sega earned during their constant waffling between the 16 and 32 bit transition era and the poisonous relationship between sega of japan and sega of america and their inability to communicate) but the console itself is beloved seemingly universally by gamers. it was def my favorite console of its gen even though it died early and it did kill me on the inside to see the good dreamcast games get ported to other consoles and get ignored :(

SEGA just straight up doesn't deserve what success they ever managed to get. They came up with one of the most beloved, enduring mascots in all of video games and through their mismanagement, just let it turn into a loving joke. They've had so many great devs trying to make great games and they've never been able to capitalize on it as much as they should.

Sonic should be a license to loving print money and he's not their only great franchise. The amount of horrible, horrible mismanagement and the toxicity between the Japanese and American branches and all the crap that's brought them to where they are now has been truly insane to watch unfold. And they'll never get better! That company has always been broken from the top down.

Anyway, wrestling is cool, I guess, love that wrestling.

They had a guy who is the primary at the company making the AEW figures on Unrestricted last week and he was insistent that they want to have multiple AEW lines and figures of as many AEW personnel as possible, down to cameramen.

SEGA is still feebly dragging its rear end along on the strength of its brands, no matter how incompetently it uses them, refusing to just loving die so that those brands can go somewhere where they might actually be decently used, so I think we know exactly who they are. :geno:

I wonder what their plan is for Frankie. He's been staring at Cowboy Bebop's matches alone lately, and Cody singling him out on the eight-man tag is odd. Wonder if they're gearing for a mega-swerve where SCU gets the belts back from Cowboy Bebop.


Anyway, SEGA and AEW should only mean an Elite Yakuza game. You're Hangman at first walking through Jacksonville, but you eventually get to control the Young Bucks and Kenny. Needless to say, the citizens of this florida city all have zany sidequests, as well as the other wrestlers in the roster.

Congratulation to Will Hobbs and his spinebuster being the only guy without a contract to make the EVP tweet.

Also, I’m really curious how they’re going to use Abadon once they move on from this Developed on Dark phase of her career.
