10 weeks of some of the best wrestling in WWE history reaches its climax tonight. There will certainly be fantastic matches and moments as Gran Metalik, Zack Sabre Jr., TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi vie for the Orange County Chopper-created Cruiserweight Classic Trophy. It should be a great night of wrestling, but first, there’s the…
7.5 There’s a lot of enjoyment to be had in Sonic Heroes. Widely considered to be the last Sonic game before developer Sonic Team took a creative nosedive, Sonic Heroes minimizes the story-based gaming that Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 had developed in favor of more high octane thrills, chills and spills. It also…
Although I am pulling for Smackdown hard in the post-draft WWE environment, their buildup to Backlash and the PPV itself, did not blow me away by any stretch. We’ve got a lot of new champions, which is fine, but who in the world could ever hope to stand against AJ Styles, who is far and…
After the last nice collection of tracks, I continue my journey through Rolling Stone‘s Top 500 Songs of All Time with tracks 490-481 below. 490. “Clocks” – Coldplay (2002) My feelings for “Clocks” have shifted considerably over the years. It was one of the first tracks I ever heard from way before I was a music…
You may have noticed as of late that, while I’ve been posting plenty of content on this site, not a whole lot of it has been music-related. That’s because I’ve been forgoing album-listening (at least when compared to my regular pace) in order to work on a project that I’ve been wanting to create for…
Tonight’s RAW aimed to combat Monday Night Football and right the course after last week’s abysmal ratings disaster with a Clash of Champions-altering main event. Elsewhere, Sheamus and Cesaro continued their increasingly pleasurable Best of Seven series and the women’s division was highlighted heavily. But nobody had more screen time than Mick Foley who made…
Note: This post does not take into account last night’s Backlash or tonight’s RAW. Matches from these shows will be considered for next week’s post. WWE had a pretty lackluster week all things considered here in the early portion of September 2016. Much of last week’s RAW was cringe-inducing, and Smackdown wasn’t any better. However,…
6.75 From the first time I was introduced to the Sonic franchise through the multi-platform, far-reaching release that was Sonic Heroes, I’ve been a fan of the little blue blur. After playing through Heroes, I sought out the Gamecube ports of both Sonic Adventure games and enjoyed them to varying degrees. The second one, Sonic…
It was a long night as WWE opted to try to stretch this 6-match show into three hours. Given the lack of heat for the matches, an undisclosed injury forcing Randy Orton out of his match with Bray Wyatt, and only two real stars on the entire show (hello, Heath Slater), this had all the…
Note: I wrote this piece a couple of years ago as editor of The East Texan, but I have posted it every year since. It still rings true. It’s a date that we all know well. Its haunting story now graces the pages of every history text. Where two massive towers proudly stood atop the…
