The King Of Swing

Can't find a gif but Giulia's knee strike to a downed opponent is a thing of beauty.

Also when she goes shit head, heel and pulls her fist all the way back and just punches her opponent in the face.

He's sacking all the wrong'ens? 

So I actually decided to get back into Dragon Age 2.

Like Mass Effect Andromeda, it's the black sheep of it's franchise but I still love it to bits. 

Fun little self contained and more personal story and not obnoxiously long like so many modern RPG's. Characters are mixed bag (Carver can go die in a ditch) but that's every Bioware game, ever. 

Yeah it has problems (battles can get a little too chaotic, recycled locations) but much like Andromeda, I think they are really overblown. Especially since from what I can remember the game was rushed out. 

Not looking forward to THOSE MASSIVE FUCKING SPIDERS, though.

Still a rock sold 8/10 for me.

The over reliance on save scumming, outright cheese tactics and ludicrous amounts of enemies has sucked most of the fun out of Balder's Gate 3. Can't think of the last game I played that fell off a cliff, this hard. 

Oh you think you this battle is going well? Guess again, there's about another six enemies off screen and two are going to call in reinforcements. 

Yeah it's probably a me/skill issue but still, get fucked. There's nothing fun about watching upwards of 20 enemies (18 is the most I've counted, so far, excluding things like rats which barely count) take their turn, even if I come out on top in the end. 

Time for a much needed break. 

Think I'm gonna start a new game of Dragon Age Inquisition. Never got round to completing the expansion and I always have fun with Bioware. 

Might be what I need to mentally recharge before going back to BG3. 

That jumping kick, Swerve does to a seated/downed opponent. Starlight Kid, does it as well in Stardom. 

Looks great.

Agree that the lights out bollocks was overused (especially also doing it for "the devil") but I still really enjoyed Collision.

Imo like a lot of matches in AEW, the Miro match suffered because they had to fill picture in picture, time.

Hurry up and get back, Rush and The Lads. 

Fun post match brawl.

Street fight was bags of fun. 

Belter of a Kingston promo. Easily up there with his best. 

Collision is currently my pick for TV show of the year. Just a breezy two hours of wrestling.

Danielson Vs. OC, please. 

Pretty rubbish episode, this week.

Show went downhill after Omega/Fletcher, imo. Still enjoyable but a noticeable drop in quality.

Good crowd. 

The sound quality in the backstage segments was shit.

Hoping Shida gets a good run but I'm doubtful. Cracking match with Sakura as expected. 

Acclaimed have fuck off heat with me right now.

Even if it's true I'd guess that Copeland and Starks are at least professional enough to clear it up without throwing hands. 

Regardless, just tell everyone what's off limits before going out there. It's not rocket science. 

Cut out the digs about WWE, you twats.

Done. 

Collision continues to hit the sweet spot for me, when it comes to pacing and a mix of big matches, squashes and segments.

Much better crowd than last week, imo. 

Opening segment was fine in a WWE way. 

Not sure I'd class the Skye Blue stuff as "supernatural" feels more psychological, to me. Which I'm fine with. 

Easily Blue's best performance and I'm on board with a heel turn to give her something to sink her teeth into. They wouldn't turn Willow as well, would they? 

House of Black pretty much vanishing off of TV is odd. 

Miro segment was goofy shit but not as bad as usual. 

Joe Vs. Mack was a lot of fun. 

The Acclaimed stuff is just weird. No idea what they are going for but it isn't working. 

Excellent main event.

Juice and the Bang Bang Gang proving that Dynamite's tasteless, cheap heat shit was completely unnecessary. Thankfully looks like they are already walking it back. 

Yes Rush in coming back. Get in there.

Make sure you're using the environment - yeeting people off high things often ends battles quicker...

Did that to a boss without even triggering the battle which was funny. 

Problem is battles that take place in smaller, inclosed areas. Isn't a deal breaker and I'm probably doing something wrong, anyway.

As much as I'm enjoying Balder's Gate 3 battles can really be a slog, at times. 

Decent enough show other than the obvious. 

On that, others have already covered the MJF/Juice stuff better than I ever will. All I'll say is, I hope it's quickly dropped.

OC getting the International Title back was a good way of making the best of a bad situation. 

Christian Cage is the best. Such a detestable prick.

Love these Samoa Joe videos. 

Toni Storm segments. Most like them, I don't, is what it is.

Women's Title match was fine, couldn't have made it more obvious that Saraya only won the belt for a one time pop.

Despite what I think of the Storm segments, her and Shida could be a lot of fun if they go down that road.

Nick Wayne is a good fit for Christian's little group.

I enjoyed the main event and post match brawl. 

Hasn't he quoted/mentioned, cagematch reviews, before?

Not interested in him sending anyone anywhere.

I want him turning up at WWE HQ doing the crab dance outside their front door and challenging Vince to a dance off.

Vince would win.

Edit. 

Seriously though, he needs to give Bryan the book and take a month off. 

I'm starting to wonder if the network executives are getting on his case, or something. 

He's coming across as exceptionally desperate.

The answer is obvious. 

More Iron Savages. 

If only Sniffles put more effort into AEW's women's division, than he does melting down on twitter. 

Still funny as fuck, though. 

The Meat Match against Hobbs showed where Miro's strengths are, and it's not a load of bollocks promos about God. 

Anyway. 

Like on Dynamite, Storm's gimmick plays out much better in the ring, almost everything else is dreadful.

Thought it was a perfectly fine 2 hours of wrestling. 

Has Miro fucked off in a sulk, again?

Honestly I regularly find myself enjoying Collision more than Dynamite. A good mix of competitive matches, squashes and segments.

Is anyone still actually watching Rampers any more?

There was a time I could take or leave Rampage but I'm back to watching it every week. 

Usually a fun enough hour of wrestling with some story elements, sprinkled in. 

I actually enjoyed the Storm match, just not the skits.

The gimmick works better in the ring, imo. Plus the commentary made everything better. 

I don't mind silly and if people enjoy it then that's cool, just something about these Strong and tbh even the recent Storm segments, that isn't working for me.

It all feels forced, to me. 

Roderick Strong stuff is fucking awful. Nothing is changing my mind. 

More Wardlow just smashing scrubs, please.
