If we're talking right now, Shayna Baszler is someone I always fast forward past. I've never been entertained by her. Personally I find MMA barbaric, so her "wrestling" style does absolutely nothing for me. I don't care for trying to make pro wrestling look "legitimate". I try to find something to like about everyone, but there's just nothing about Shayna Baszler which appeals to me from a wrestling standpoint.

Sasha VS Asuka was an excellent match that definitely lived up to the hype and then some! Some really great spots, exciting action, and masterful storytelling. The spot right at the beginning with counter after counter leading to a very quick early Bank Statement was fantastic, and Joe's frantic commentary really enhanced the moment. Sasha taking on a knee injury and forcing herself to keep fighting because of how badly she needed to win the match added a lot of depth to it. And then the ending was just genius! Obviously we all know it's not an official title change, and I can't wait to see this be a turning point in Bayley and Sasha's friendship imploding, given that Bayley cheated Sasha out of a genuine victory. And then the online exclusive post-match video of Sasha and Bayley running away from an interview before anything could be said about it was hilarious! Definitely a MOTY contender. I'm glad I'm not the only one here that actually liked that finish. I'll spot that maybe putting the two goofy finishes right after each other in the card might not have been the best move, but I thought this ending was really good. I'm usually not a fan of screwy endings in title matches, but this one made so much sense and heel Bayley is freaking hilarious. Exactly, I'm glad I'm not the only either, as it seems the vast majority - both on here and on social media - seemed to hate it. For me it achieves so much going forward: - Gives fans a reason to tune into RAW to find out what happens next - Adds fuel to the fire between Bayley and Sasha, given that Bayley screwed Sasha out of a legitimate title change with that finish, and I'm sure this will be a major point to start the feud - Furthers the idea of Bayley and Sasha being obnoxious heels that will do anything to cheat their way to a victory (just like Sasha's hero Eddie) - Protects both Sasha and Asuka - Removes the idea that Sasha will only be going after the SmackDown Women's Championship, in her inevitable feud with Bayley, as a consolation prize for not winning the RAW Women's title That's the way I see it anyway. I don't understand why so many hated it. But that's okay, nothing wrong with others having a different opinion. I just know that I loved it, and it was a twist that I didn't see coming.

Maybe? I've personally never been a fan of her in-ring or promo work. But she is a popular talent, as evidenced by the hashtag trending. I don't get the hype behind her, but it's clear that a lot of other people do.

Decent show.
- Glad to see Tegan win the opportunity. Honestly I would have been pleased with Dakota or Candice too. - Ryu on TV! About time he made his debut. - Sasha VS Io was a good match. It didn't live up to my expectations, but that's because I was expecting approximately 4,538 suicide dives and 2,361 meteoras each, instead of the slower pace we got. I'm hoping they're saving something special if they ever get a match on a big stage. But everyone else seemed to really enjoy the match from what I've read, so they clearly did a good job regardless of expectations. - I thought the match had a brilliant ending! I was honestly stumped as to how they'd book the match, given how neither Sasha nor Io could really afford to lose clean. But Asuka's interference was a good surprise spot with everyone coming out a winner. Io (kinda) gets put over, Sasha saves face for her upcoming match at Extreme Rules because of the screwy finish. Everybody wins. I thought it was Kabuki Warriors VS Golden Role Models that we needed, but now I know that it's Asuka & Io VS the Golden Role Models.

What’s the magazine like? Honestly, they're all very basic profiles of career milestones, top five matches, finishing moves. The magazines read as much more aimed at casual buyers with minimal knowledge of the particular wrestler. Not bad for a quick five minute read, they're only 14 pages.

I finished the Last of Us 2 today. It was a fun game, but the ending was very lacklustre in my opinion. I think they should have ended it with them all happy at the house, instead of the depressing note they decided to end on. I get that these games are supposed to be dark, but still. TLoU1 managed to end on an optimistic note. Why couldn't 2?
I agree with criticisms that the story was too convoluted. I would have been able to forget that if we'd been allowed to play as Ellie the entire game. I get what they were trying to do in empathising with Abbie, seeing the consequences to Ellie's actions and the never-ending cycle of violence and revenge. It did work for me to an extent. But the whole time I was playing as Abbie, I just wanted to get back to Ellie.
So in conclusion, I think I'd say that I don't regret playing it once, but I'd be hesitant to play through it again anytime soon, and I'd probably stop as soon as it got to the point where I had to play as not-Ellie.
But I'm glad that other people were able to enjoy it more than I did. As incredibly unlikely as this is, I really hope Naughty Dog would consider doing a slightly more lighthearted game of Joel and Ellie's exploits in the five year gap between the two games.

The Last of Us 2. I think I'm reaching the end now, and it's been a really fun game. Even if I have had to spend half of it playing as not-Ellie. That minor gripe aside, Naughty Dog never disappoint.
Definitely going to be replaying the first game after I've finished it.

Yes, I collect these, and they're certainly worth the money. Second Eaglemoss subscription I've had, figurines are my thing. They look great, really the only ones which have looked off have been Kofi Kingston and Ronda Rousey. All the rest have looked fantastic and really good likenesses. I feel like they've made great selections, and it's still got plenty of time to go.
Really my only problem with this collection is I've been subscribed right from the start, even before they started dispatching them, yet I still don't have any parts of the subscriber-exclusive ring. I don't know whether they gave priority to American customers or not, but last time I contacted Eaglemoss, they said they were still waiting for more stock.

World: Jon Moxley TNT: Cody Rhodes Tag Team: Kenny Omega & "Hangman" Adam Page Women's: Hikaru Shida I do also have to give honourable mentions to PAC, Lance Archer, Orange Cassidy, FTR, Chris Jericho, and Luchasaurus though. So, literally the actual champions? Yes, I'm happy with how it is right now.

Good on Sammy for owning up to his mistakes and not trying to pass himself off as a victim like some other people would do in his situation. He knows how wrong he was to say the things he said, and now it's on him going forward to show that he's grown from it.

Another good episode. One thing that I think is important to give credit where credit is due, is that these shows have been consistently solidly booked since the lockdown.
Legitimately completely forgot that Drew and Dolph used to be a tag team until they brought it up. I'm glad Drew is looking as incredible now as he should have done from the start, but reminds me that they didn't half drop the ball when they called him up by pairing him with Dolph. Either way, it'll still be nice to see Ziggler VS McIntyre for the title. I think this is the first feud since Drew won the title that I've had interest in.
I was intrigued by a Nia/Charlotte feud, until it was reported that it's to write Charlotte off TV. Just when I thought WWE was finally starting to book feuds for women not centred around a title.
A Riott Squad reunion feels too soon, but not a big deal if that's where this goes.
The Golden Role Models' post-match promo was genius, and brilliantly delivered by Sasha. She really had me going there. Sasha VS Asuka is going to be an incredible match, I'm all for it. If we can get Golden Role Models VS Kabuki Warriors (or Sky Pirates) mixed in, then all the better! I'm glad Golden Role Models retained last night, but I'd like to see the titles go to the IIconics when they inevitably do drop them.

Good move by AEW, definitely warranted at the very least.

If they could put Sasha and Bayley on guest commentary every week, that would be great. Love everything they're doing with these two.

Fantastic episode of NXT tonight! Absolutely loved it!
- Breezango mocking Imperium's entrance was great, haha! - Undisputed Therapy Session was funny. - The Adam Cole/Keith Lee/Johnny Gargano/Finn Balor segment was fantastic! Keith Lee's dig at Johnny in relation to Candice was hilarious! - Big title match coming up! Really curious to see where they go, and who becomes a double champ. - Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox VS Boss 'n' Hug Connection definitely delivered, good match. - Just when I thought the show couldn't have a better ending, Io Shirai came out and attacked Sasha and Bayley!!
Sasha Banks VS Io Shirai is my most wanted WrestleMania dream match. The fact that they teased it (with the inclusion of Bayley) on NXT blows my mind. To say I'm excited about how this develops is an understatement. I'm excited!!
Last night's episode was a good night for women's wrestling. The card felt like it mainly featured women, and two main roster superstars and NXT legends came back home to elevate three of the current division. Not only did Shotzi and Tegan look good in their offense, but Bayley and Sasha had to cheat to get the win. And then of course Io cleaning house and showing why she is the current star of NXT.

YES!!!!!! BOSS 'N' HUG RETAIN!!! Now we can get the dream match VS Tegan and Shotzi on NXT! No doubt a salty certain somebody will be whining again on WWE Backstage when she's next invited.
Really good way to start Backlash, certainly a high note for me.
So glad WWE have finally started realising Sasha's value and are actually booking her to win.

I don't know, for whatever reason I just haven't had any interest in Bobby Lashley in his latest run. His return was fine, I liked him as a babyface. But then he turned heel and stopped showing emotion, used only as a generic big monster heel with a mouthpiece. Been far too dull ever since. Maybe if they allowed him to show some personality I could get behind him.
But besides that, I think Drew McIntyre is just on a whole different level right now. He's the total package, and I'm absolutely loving his reign so far, despite not really having any interesting opponents so far imo.

Excellent segment and match to kick off the show! Absolutely love Sasha and Bayley as the annoying heels, they do it so well, incredibly entertaining. And of course, always gotta love Four Horsewomen crossover. Asuka, Boss 'n' Hug, Charlotte and the IIconics all in a ring together was an entertaining moment. And that match was wonderful! From the quick sequences between Sasha and Peyton, to the tension between Charlotte and Asuka. The trash talking on the apron made me long for the return of MMC and Mic'd Up.
I must say, I've been really enjoying watching Asuka as of late. I was never a big fan of her in NXT or her main roster run up until now, but ever since Becky handed her the belt to turn her face again, something has clicked for me. Her explosive offense after finally being tagged in for the first time, as well as her comedic slap to Charlotte later in the show in the backstage interview. I just love watching her give zero craps and still be incredibly dangerous in the ring.
And then when I thought the show had already peeked in the opening segment, Boss 'n' Hug came back out for the main event, making Asuka VS Charlotte even better! Having the IIconics attack Boss 'n' Hug is a nice way to build towards Sunday and get me invested. Hoping Boss 'n' Hug retain just so we can get a 2v2 feud VS the IIconics. The segments over which team can be the most obnoxious would make for highly entertaining programming.
