TNA Bound For Glory 2023

And so we come to the end of the Impact Wrestling era… an era that started off a bit bumpy (and that’s putting it quite mildly), but would end up slowly, but surely rebuilding the company’s damaged reputation from years of Dixie Carter… and now we bring back the TNA moniker… because everyone else is still calling you TNA, so you may as well make it official.

In the meantime, there’s the rest of this show. And it exists.

Rondo Of Notho

Apparently, Limited Run’s Rondo in English repro is no longer a thing. I’d call this news, but that would require this to have been a thing in the first place. Not that I’d buy one because it’d be overpriced and I don’t have anything to play this on, but still…

Forever physical, my ass.

Well, What Did You Expect?

I’m posting the above as the banner of this post because it amuses me and I don’t feel like rendering a fresh one… and also it conveys my feelings more accurately than a typical Cornette Face.

Anyway, yesterday, WWE held its contractually-obligated Blood Money PLE from the benevolent and progressive kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where most of the production and commentary was handled at home while a select number of WWE Superstars and production crew were sent over to a country that has been the target of some deadly attacks. For anyone in shock and awe that WWE would proceed with the show under threat of attack, you clearly must be new around here.

As one would expect, it had a couple matches at most. As one would expect, the results were fairly predictable. Chelsea Green lost her Women’s title to Tiffy Time via cash-in to the surprise of absolutely no one, Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn in their match to the surprise of absolutely no one, Cody Rhodes punted Randy Orton to tease a heel turn that is probably not going to happen, and apparently, there was a title change of sorts. Am I forgetting anything? Probably. Do I care? Not really.

I did hear that it was a generally good show and I can’t really dispute that without having seen it, but I’ll assume they’re correct. But honestly, this is one show I would have skipped regardless of its location. Also Netflix subscriptions are expensive and there’s little on there that I’d want to watch to justify the price… unless I plan on re-binging on Cobra Kai or whatever.

That was my Theodore monologue. New Gimmick Table later tonight.

Well…

Yes, I bought a DVD copy of LOTWD.

I found a copy at Walmart for cheap, so it made sense. And yes, I will share my thoughts on the film eventually… and I will be fair. If it turns out good, I will say as much. If it turns out bad, I will also say as much. Neither past biases nor the man’s death is going to affect the eventual “review” when it comes around.

Either way, JDF diehards have already seen this and canonized this. Nothing I say will or should change their opinion on the film. If you liked it, great. I’m not going to convince you otherwise. But I’m also not going to give this thing a free pass because of the circumstances. That does not mean I intend to “hate-watch” this movie or whatever the stupid term is. If I watch, I expect to enjoy it. If I know that I’m going to hate something, I wouldn’t bother.

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this every time I go into something featuring a celebrity individual for whom I’ve had mixed feelings on, especially one who has passed on… but you know how people are these days. Anyone with a Twitter/X/BlueSky/Mastadon/Whatever social media account has the brain of a dehydrated BB.

But yeah… I’ll probably watch the movie some time this week. I’ll gather some thoughts and eventually, what will be marked as a “movie review” of sorts will eventually be posted.

THE BITE COMMENTARY #21 – The Two-Year Wait (WIP)

The following post is a post about politics on a blog that normally does not discuss politics because it’s something that this blog does not like to talk about, but I guess we need to talk about this because sometimes I need to let out that borderline misanthropic side that absolutely hates humanity for its constant stupidity. If you would rather not read about such things, then skip this post and move on to… just about anything else on this blog. There’s going to be a new review up later today on an old Atari game that’s more entertaining and happy than this post. Otherwise, please bare with me as I ramble about a recent political event.

Hello, there… it’s been a while since I typed out one of these Bite commentaries.

I suppose part of it has to do with the fact that I’ve very little to talk about that merit bringing this back or rather I’m saving the juicy stuff for the recently revived DTM Rambles video series, which are similar to these, but somewhat more lighthearted in tone and content… I’d like to think so, anyway. When it comes to these Bite commentaries, especially since I revived the feature a couple years ago, I want to reserve these for more “serious” talks and also for a tone that I otherwise wouldn’t share on the blog, especially when it’s highlighting aspects of the world that I normally wouldn’t be talking about.
