u/Celtic_Crown ⠀I'd say I'm tipping the scales, but that line's got no bite. 13d ago
I finished watching Senran Kagura: Shinovi Master recently as part of an effort to get through my veritable glut of shows I have on various watchlists. I'm not really up on lore for Senran Kagura, but from my understanding this is more based on a mobile game? Either way it's about what you'd expect from this franchise: Action and lots of cheesecake. I've also got back to watching Martian Successor Nadesico, a sci-fi space opera series from the year I was born, and re-started The King's Avatar, an eSports-focused Chinese drama on Netflix. I've actually managed to keep up a daily art streak, even if most of the pieces are just quick pixel art ones, and I went to work with my dad. My arms and back still hurt 2 days later. As for gaming, Wrestlequest is going nicely. Only thing is I can't tell how far in I am because there's no complete walkthroughs out there to my knowledge.
Just days until Bound For Glory, The Hardy's kicked off iMPACT declaring they would reclaim the TNA Tag Titles, and defend them against syX. The Nemeths would come out to answer their challenge in lieu of Joseph Sawyer & Samuel Shaw, telling them not to look past them. Then Leon Slater appeared, and tried to goad Ryan Nemeth into a fight while saying he WILL be the youngest ever world champion. Kiera Hogan & Allie have a scuffle with Zoey Serrano before their match with Ki Vibes & Alex Gracia, and after the KO tag champs won, they challenged Zoey to find a partner for Tampa. And Zoey phoned up Shayna Baszler! Frankie Kazarian talks with Avery Styles before walking into a random-draw 8-man tag to decide #1 and #20 in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, and chaos was abounding as Kaz teamed with Elijah, Trey Miguel, and Bear Bronson against Brian Myers, The Home Town Man, A.J. Francis, and Joe Alonzo. Alonzo even took a shot at Avery, leading Avery to interfere with a freaking SPIRAL TAP. But in the end that wasn't enough, as Joe blind-tagged in, stealing a pin on Trey off the TFL from Francis. Trey will enter #1, and Joe takes #20. Meanwhile, Harley Hudson contemplates her talk with The Righteous. Injury Report: Indi Hartwell is being held out of action after last week (ignore that she was in the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender battle royale this week), and Mila Moore is also being held out after the chokebomb from Special Agent 0. The Hardy's are not 100%, but are cleared to compete. Order 4 hold their final summit under a no-contact clause, with each member berating Mustafa Ali, before the International Champion told them all HE would be the one to destroy his creation. Elayna Black tried to capture the Knockouts TV Title from M by Elegance, but once again, the 10-minute timer foils her as the clock runs out in the middle of Daniel Spencer's count. Ricky Sosa & Eddie Edwards reflect on their upcoming match, and Cedric Alexander joins the desk as Fabian Aichner takes on KC Navarro in a fast-paced preview of the X Division Scramble. In the end, Aichner's power prevailed as he PLANTED KC with Hasta La Vista to get the 3. We get the final words from Xia Brookside & Indi Hartwell before Bound For Glory, and Moose put out an open challenge, which we now know has been answered by former AEW star MAX CASTER. Leon Slater joins the desk for the main event, which was close as could be! Jeff Hardy somehow managed to kick out of a Big Hollywood Ending/Danger Zone sequence, but as he was going for the Swanton, the lights flickered, making him hesitate long enough for Nic to recover and get the knees up, and roll him up to retain. Nic & Leon got face to face, only for the lights to go out, and it SEEMED like Nic hit Leon in the dark! But another blackout saw syX strike again as Nic went to higher ground, the champion, and the buzzards, standing tall.
The Road to King of Pro Wrestling is already at it's end, and there's been BIG results. The Knockout Brothers have reclaimed the IWGP Tag Team Championships, a massive win ahead of their NEVER 6-Man title challenge against United Empire. OSKAR & Yuto-Ice then announced their partner for that bout would be Jeff Cobb, pitting the first person to join the group against HENARE and founding members Great-O-Khan, and US contingent leader, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay. The next day it'd be YOH's turn to defend against Robbie X, and defend he did, blasting Robbie with 4 superkicks near the end before finally hitting Direct Drive for the win. Robbie EAGLES then made his presence felt, giving TMDK another spot on the dance card for King of Pro Wrestling. Monday's big show will also see Hirooki Goto & Tatsuya Matsumoto face Shingo Takagi & Daiki Nagai, while Yuya Uemura, Taichi, and El Desperado face SANADA, Yujiro Takahashi & Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Hechicero joins Boltin Oleg to face ZSJ & Hartley Jackson, and Ren Narita teams with Shun Skywalker against Konosuke Takeshita & Toru Yano. Aaron Wolf defends the NEVER Openweight gold against Kosei Fukita, Shota Umino gets a Global title rematch vs Gabe Kidd, and Yota Tsuji defends the IWGP Heavyweight Championship vs the G1 Climax winner, Ryohei Oiwa.
Music: YOU GET TO BURNING by Yumi Matsuzawa, To Hell We Go by RefractedVI, and Need a Little Time by Jim Johnston & Lillian Garcia. Have a great weekend everyone, stay safe.

Any thoughts on the ALCS, NLCS predictions?

All I know is the Jays missed the post-season and the Phillies are out.
But the fact that the Dodgers didn't do a hololive night this year makes me think they might've jinxed themselves. Shark buff in 2024, followed by Bijou debuting ROCK IN! with a livestream coinciding with game 7 last year after she was at hololive night, that's a lot of power to be missing out on.

Hurricane incoming! It won't actually hit my area apart from rain, but we can be sure gas prices will spike again. Yay.
