Monday Night Open Mic

By Corey
Howdy Blog O' Doomers!

Well the Road to Wrestlemania comes to its final turn tonight.

I will admit, the ending last week with Sting and Orton cleaning house got me a little interested. It looked cool, it was fun, it promoted a couple of programs and worked for all involved. I am an easy sell though because I love Wrestlemania. Even if I'm not crazy about the booking or the direction I want to see the pagentry, see the ring entrance set up, check out the atmosphere, etc.

As for the Wrestlemania threads, I think we'll stick with last year's plan of having a thread for pre-show and doing them hourly for the show. Disqus probably can't handle 5-10K posts on a single thread. Last year we hit about 10-12K between the five of them. If someone has a better idea, I'm all ears.

As for TV tonight

Wrestlemania go home show for RAW

New Episodes of Better Call Saul, Dancing with the Stars, The Voice, American Dad, Scorpion, Bates Motel, etc. etc.

7 NHL Games, 6 NBA Games, Second Round of Women's NCAA tournament begins...Probably some Men's NIT too.

Enjoy and Keep it Clean!

    I've not watched an episode of Raw since Fast Lane, after a solid 10 years of not missing a single one, other than the occasional Christmas episode. I have no inclination to watch tonight's either.

    This is a sad, sad indictment of the current 'Road to Wrestlemania' - I can pretty much predict tonight's show will open with a 20 minute Rollins/J&J/Kane/Big Show/Orton talking segment, with maybe a couple of other faces getting involved like Henry, setting up the main event tag match. There will be a throwaway Divas match - AJ v Nikki, say, with Paige and Brie at ringside, which will end in shenanigans. There will be a short IC title clusterfuck, ending with Barrett or Ambrose standing tall (Ziggler or Bryan as an outside bet). We will see a Sheamus promo video. Triple H will come out and talk for a bit, Sting will inturrupt and possibly point his bat at someone. Rusev and Cena will have a talkie segment. Miz and Sandow will have a brief backstage skit/altercation. Lesnar will stand still, expressionless, as Heyman talks about how great Reigns could be, if he wasn't facing Lesnar. We will see a video package about Roman Reigns' Samoan heritage.

    In the three hour show, there will be a grand total of 35-45 minutes of Wrestling. Around 80% of the IWC will fall asleep or go off on an online rant.

    Have I missed anything?

    So now it kind of is a normal Final Fantasy you can play at your own leisure, I just love it because due to the MMO aspect there is SOOOOO much story, they basically incorporated every character from every game into it too which is fun

    I would love a deathmatch shooter where there's an expansive map, full of buildings with multiple floors, and the focus is on a careful, sneaky stalking of your opponent, the aim to be snipe them before they snipe you.

    I know everyone harps on how bad the announcing is, but rewatching the Goldust/Stardust match at Fastlane brought it home for me. Right before the match, Dusty talks Goldust out of trying to hurt Cody. Stardust is so mentally unstable that he can't concentrate on offense for more than a few moves at a time.

    Even for two solid guys, that's a hell of a hard story to tell. They were intentionally limiting the in-ring contact to advance a storyline, and relying heavily on the announcing crew to convey the plot. Naturally, the announcers completely missed the story and spent the entire time goofing on both guys, rendering the whole feud DOA.

    It was still a pretty rough match, but it could've at least been something with a competent booth.

    The difficulty there tho - how do you advance that effectively for the live crowd? If you need the announcers to carry the story that badly, I would argue the inring has failed.

    Expanding on video game chat from earlier, favourite video games of each of my platforms I've owned over the years:


    ZX Spectrum: Fantasy Island Dizzy
    Amiga: Megalomania
    NES: Super Mario Bros 3 (still in the running, imo, for the best pure video game of all time)
    Master System: R-Type
    Gameboy: Tetris
    Mega Drive: Kid Chamelon
    SNES: Super Mario Kart (especially Battle Mode)
    Early PC: Sim City
    N64: Starfox
    Dreamcast: Shenmue
    Playstation: Pro Evolution Soccer
    Gamecube: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
    XBox: Knights of the Old Republic
    Playstation 2: Grand Theft Auto III
    That PC era: Civilisation 3
    Playstation 3: Grand Theft Auto IV
    XBox 360: Fallout 3
    PS Vita: Thomas Was Alone
    Playstation 4: The Binding of Isaac (seriously - I've not played any other PS4 game anywhere near as much)
    Current PC era: Skyrim

    I had a Game Gear too, but I can't really remember getting much joy out of it. Ended up letting my mum keep it as she was addicted to Columns. Also had a Gameboy Advance - which I just played the old Gameboy Tetris on, mainly - and a DS, which I only played brain training games on before giving to my nephew.

    When I think about the amount of money I must've spent on gaming over the years, I'm borderline horrified!!

    Should be dirt cheap by now. But yeah, MK9 plays great and has enough stuff between Story, Arcade, and Challenge Tower modes that you can play it for months and not get bored. Also the AI lets up if you get stuck on a fight, which is a nice gesture considering there's a lot of handicap matches in Story.
