The King Of Swing

Joe should absolutely destroy MJF for the title, imo.

Even without the injury, I felt that we were reaching the natural end of MJF's title reign.

Or just give it to Mox, again. 

One thing I'm happy we never imported from the US, is televised trials/sentencing. 

Looking forward to the ratings talk. 

I'm only interested in who gets upset for real, first. 

My money is actually on Seth. 

Was Gravity hurt or is he just really, really shit? 

Yeah decent little show. 

Jade's PPV matches tended to be more competitive, TV matches were usually squashes. 

How it should be, imo. 

Won't bring me back as a viewer, but interesting times ahead. 

Sasha Banks back next for the Rumble, I reckon. 

Samoa Joe and Christian Cage are the best.

I hope Kairi doesn’t kill herself in the War Games match. She is the type to do something ludicrous. 

Nah, Iyo is the most likely to break something from a bonkers spot.

A mid-card Triple Crown is totally something Sniff lifted from an old save file. 

Awful finish to another waste of time reign, for Shida. Match was rubbish, too.

Mariah May's 'obsessed fan' gimmick can also get in the bin.

TBS match was better but I'm not convinced that Julia Hart is the right choice. Felt there was more life in Stantlander's reign. 

Tag title was the typical cluster fuck, everyone expected.

Opener was fun and at least go Flair, out of the way early.

Page/Swerve was my match of the show.

The main event was really good but as others have pointed out, some awful logic holes. 

Calling it. The Devil reveal is going to be a massive wet fart.

Other stuff. 

Overall another good show that I'll forget about %90 of by next week.

Persona 5 Tactica (Xbox) 

Glad I played on Game Pass and didn't buy it. Bored within an hour.

Atlus have really milked P5, for all it's worth. 

Yuka Sakazaki finishes up with TJPW, next month and is making a move to the US, I believe.

I doubt it's her but may as well throw her name out there. 

As someone who actually thought the live chat minigame in Y6 was pretty funny, I hope we never see live action Hostesses, again.

Edit. 

The gravure photoshoot minigame in Kiwami 2, is still the worst.

Square Enix published it, right? They were happy to sack off any IP that didn't sell millions upon millions of copies, Western games that actually did well were often said to be "underperforming".

Think it was Rise of The Tomb Raider that sold millions but was considered a "disappointment" by SE.

Completed Like a Dragon Gaiden. 

Took 22 hours with most side content done. 

Absolutely epic final boss fight and a genuinely emotional ending. More than made up for the damp squid that was the ending to Y6, imo. 

Did an excellent job bridging the gap between Y6 and Yakuza Like a Dragon. Also clearly setting some stuff up for Infinite Wealth, so I'd say it would probably be a good idea for those who haven't yet, to play this in preparation for that game.

Also I really hope we see more Akame in future games. 

Honestly I'm starting to find watching some people wrestle, very uncomfortable at times. 

There was one match not so long back, where Omega did his big dive to the outside but seemed to fall a little short of his opponent and pretty much landed flat on his back. Don't care how good someone is, that's going to really mess up your body.

About 10 hours into Like a Dragon Gaiden (chapter 3) and I'm having a blast just messing about. 

The reduced map size makes getting around easy, to the point taxis are pretty pointless.

Haven't played with Kiryu's agent style, as much as I probably should. Need to get on that but yakuza style (basically his old dragon style) is just so satisfying. 

Got my arse handed to me at Pocket Racer 😭

Rush had better be in tournament. 

Danielson isn't going to make it to his retirement. 

Overall I thought it was a solid show.

Jericho stealing The Bucks tag title shot and then winning the belts with Omega, would be a good laugh.

My problem with Batman, is once I realised he's just a nepo-bady, acting out revenge fantasies on poor people, it became hard for me not to root for the villains.

The Batman was fun though but as I said before. 

Sniff is totally going to try and recreate, Trish/Mickie, using Storm/May, isn't he? 

I've had Shenmue 3 in my collection for years but never progressed beyond the intro. Just didn't like the feel of it.

Said it before but it still blows my mind that I can play full videos games, in a video game.
