Ramblings of an Englishman

It is that time of the year again where two of the biggest professional wrestling companies join forces. Two massive dream matches headline the card and with a lack of injuries form either side this feels as strong of a card as you can get. With AEW having CM Punk back and a new Saturday show in Collision and New Japan seemingly back or on its way back to it's best this was shaping up to be a great show at least on paper but let's see how they fared in execution.  Zero Hour Mogul Embassy (Swerve Strickland, Toa Liona, Brian Cage, and Bishop Kaun) (with Prince Nana) vs. Chaos (Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, and Trent Beretta) and El Desperado The Mogul Embassy I really like (well all of them except Brian Cage really), a good stable with a good look but they really do need to start giving them wins. A good match to start the show a fun opening tag match and I am glad Swerve got the win. Let's give him a few more of those and all of the titles. Poor Despy being victim of giving t...

New Japan is in a youth movement as it stands. Pushing younger talents on the way back from excursion such as Ren Narita, Yota Tsuji and Shota Umino who have become featured players it leaves just one of their group out in the cold in Yuya Uemura who I think should return soon. Going on excursion the same time as Yota Tsuji it should only be a matter of time before he comes back. I wanted to have a go at fantasy booking his return in which I think I have a solid idea which helps out some issues with roster depth. First of all I wouldn’t have him return until at least the final day of the G1 or soon after.

So instead I would do the following. You either have video packages with hyping him up or randomly appear like they did with Shota. So I would have hype packages for Yuya well for whatever...

With Spider-Man two now set for an October 2023 release for Playstation 5 it will get people myself thinking about what characters will be added to the mythos of past games. While I looked at this years ago here I wanted to have another look now we have an idea of the story and we know that we will see Venom, Lizard & Kraven the Hunter as well as Yuri becomming Wraith but beyond the identity of Venom (my money is still on Harry Osborn) I do think some big reveals and surprises will be saved for launch. I want to go over a few character we could see introduced or at least teased for future released.  Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider Starting off wit ha character I feel is very likely to be introduced. Spider-Gwen is a very popular character and one I feel has ton of spinoff potential. Considering the success of the Spiderverse films which the character is the secondary main character and Insomniac's tweet saying they never confirmed Gwen Stacy was dead in their universe ( htt...
