The Brain was one of the greatest professionals in the sports.

Community management has to be something that is part of the game from day one. No one is going to clean things up 12+ months after release.

The list of wrestlers that have manhandled Vince like this is short, and a who’s who of WWE all-time greats. Vince’s trust in KO to deliver this beat down shows that they have huge trust in the man.

The problem now is that too many people are becoming dependent on notifications and alerts from apps to get these items. It is swinging back to getting to know your local brick and mortar retailers if you want a shot at these ridiculously hard to get items.

Onita vs Chono is 1999 is still one of my favorite matches every simply due to heir entranced. Onita comes out to “Wild Thing” and sits on the ramp in his steel chair and just smokes his cigarette. The sold out Tokyo Dome crowd was on fire; booing the hell out of him and throwing garbage.

Retailers know that there are X amount of dollars for Black Friday, and are deathly afraid that those dollars will be spent at other stores. Instead of changing their plans and promotions, they just push the opening time earlier into Thursday and hope that their ad stands out.

There should have been a stoppage after the third punch on the mat.

This is WWE in 2017 in a nutshell.

And what did ESPN 2 have on after EVO? Women’s beach volleyball.

No one plays better with momentum than Tokido. He had to go through a murderers row in losers bracket while Punk coasted and had downtime.

The lack of The Last of Us 2 was pretty shocking.

This was the best show that Ubi Soft has put on. They had a varied catalog of title to show off, and kept things flowing by putting people on stage that were able to talk well to the crowd.

Out of the 300ish live events I’ve been to in my life, the Kaiju Big Battel show I went to in Boston a couple years ago might have been the most fun I had at an event. They are coming to Pittsburgh at the end of the month, and I am pumped to see them live again.

Good. The program in its current state has been failed by the current athletic administration, and they should be hurt from their actions.

It is 2017, and there are new Mario, Sonic, Crash, and Bubsy games coming out. I am waiting for the new Gex and Croc announcements any day now.

A lot of people that fund, create, and play games approach the industry as this disposable thing, and the past should only be dragged from the past in a vain marketing attempt at nostalgia, and your old toys should be thrown away at GameStop when the shiny, new pieces of plastic hit store shelves. It is one of the…

At least someone else will have a shot at winning Combo Breaker since Punk, and also Fuudo,had to miss Friday pools because of ELeague.

VGCW is one of my favorite pieces of gaming culture. A group of people took the quirky, and sometimes broken, WWE 2K engine and story mode, and turned it into something truly special.

That final round in the Grand Finals is one of the most banana things I’ve seen in competitive Street Fighters. Back to back, dropped supers when both looked like they should have hit is some insanity.

Mania weekend was primed to have Matt Riddle be this year’s “guy that makes himself a household name for smarks,” but damn didn’t Lee put together an amazing weekend of matches to get the much deserved recognition he deserves.
