I am fighting depression and feel like crap right now but there is that warning before you read on. I got to watch this year’s WrestleMania event (both Nights) and it left me wanting more. This year’s event made me wish I had something from the past to watch. First of all, splitting it on the two nights was a dumb idea and after seeing it done in Japan I wasn’t looking forward to this year’s WrestleMania either. the rain delay on the first day wasn’t something that added to the event. I was an hour into the first night and the first match just finished. 6 hours later I got done watching the rest of the show and it left me going “Meh” I didn’t care for the “celebrities like Logan Paul or Bad Bunny. Hell, I didn’t even know who Bad Bunny even was before all this and Logan Paul was involved in the best match of the entire show. Kevin Steen and Sami Zayn put on a match to remember. Most of those other matches on either night I will probably forget. I should pop in WrestleMania 3 or 4 or something more to my flavor and the nasty taste of this event out of my head. Watching RAW on Monday night didn’t help me any.

This week we’re checking in on Firaxil and it looks like he is homesick for Earth. Specifically his wife and unborn child. There has to be a way to remedy the situation and the Centurion Corps found an easy solution. Victo Gavren has been made a deputy Centurion! I just hope he won’t be douchey like John Walker on Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That reminds me. I’m gonna go on record and say that the U.S. Agent is the Avenger with the most punchable face. He narrowly beats out Starfox and that dude’s gimmick is charisma. U.S. Agent was never my favorite Avenger. Probably should have made a top ten worst Avengers video back in the day. Walker would definitely be at the top followed by Starfox.
Back on topic. Some time has passed since Firaxil left Earth and he is anxious to get back. Don’t forget. This was all Sara’s idea. Well, he needed to stay with his parents for a while too. Now, will Gavren be up to the task of being a Centurion? Or will he end up like Walker? Time will tell. Tune in for the action next time!
It is that time of year again with Wrestlemania 37 now less than a week away. I don’t know of it the Covid health scare everywhere or my own health problems taking my mind away but I’m just not feeling it this year. Holding the show over two nights with Smackdown also taking place is not something I am in favor of so Hopefully this is the last year of that happening. Nevertheless the events of here and ready to go so bring them on and hopefully they will be good! Here are my predictions of the matches this year!
Night one:
Smackdown woman’s title: Sasha Banks V/S Bianca Belair: I’m not into this one too much. Belair probably wins and becomes the new champion because she won the rumble and putting the title on her would be the way to push her for the times being but not caring that much for whoever wins WINNER: Bianca Belair
WWE Title: Bobby Lashley V/S Drew McIntyre: This isn’t the main event? It will be a slobber knocker with these two guys beating the crap out of each other and I’m looking forward to that. WINNER: Drew wins his belt back
Bad Bunny/Damian Priest V/S The Miz/John Morrison: Now a tag match I guess. Why is this match even happening? What is the point of this? WINNERS: Bad Bunny/Damian Priest win for some stupid reason.
RAW Tag team title: The New Day V/S AJ Styles and Omos: Eh. The WWE has shown little interest in the Tag Team titles of either brand so don’t expect much to go into this match. It’s another chance to put a BIG guy on the card. Winners are inconsequential but whatever. WINNERS: The New Day
Steel Cage: Braun Strowman V/S Shane McMahon: the BIG guy on the card against the boss’s son. It will probably be Braun throwing Shane around against the cage but of course, it is SHANE so that will probably decide the winner WINNER: Shane. He’s the boss’s son so he will probably win just on that.
Cesaro V/S Seth Rollins: Probably the opening match of this night. Not a bad match per say but seems like this was just added on to make someone (Daniel Bryan maybe?) happy. hope this turns out to be the match of the night, WINNER: I hope Cesaro gets it so I am guessing he probably won’t.
Night Two:
Universal Title: Roman Reigns V/S Edge V/S Daniel Bryan: WWE got something right and made this the main event. Unfortunately, it is a 3-way match and I don’t like those matches very much. It will be Bryan and Edge bouncing off Reigns for a while until someone takes him down. I’m hoping Bryan gets him into some kind of submission but who knows what will happen. WINNER: Daniel Bryan becomes the new champion (I Hope!)
RAW woman’s Title: Asuka V/S Rhea Ripley: this match is there. Asuka is the top dog but she is also Japanese and WWE (IE Vince) doesn’t like people from there so Ripley probably takes it. Since Charlotte isn’t there and Ripley needs a win after last years match, Ripley gets it WINNER: Rhea Ripley (rolls eyes)
The Fiend Bray Wyatt V/S Randy Orton: They have done this match at Mania before so I expect some weirdness here. Don’t know what but something weird will happen. WINNER: Randy Orton in a F***ed-up match of the whole weekend.
Intercontinental Title: Big E V/S Apollo Crews: This is billed as a “Nigerian Drum Fight” whatever that means but this whole feud has been nothing but racist to me and I don’t care who wins this mess. WINNER: Big E wins the title I guess. I know when the piss break will happen
Kevin Owens V/S Sami Zayn: This will be a fight. Hopefully, both guys bring all they have and beat the stuffing out of each other if they want to make it interesting. I’m sure the ending of this match will be creative and interesting. WINNER: Kevin Owens and hopefully the end of this “documentary” story they are telling with Zayne.
United States Title: Riddle V/S Sheamus: This can’t be the opener of this night can it? Riddle will come out and hopefully tie up Sheamus into knots and Sheamus just punches to counter. It is a striker V/S a wrestler so let’s see who comes out the better performer in this match WINNER: Riddle
Over all: Nothing shocking or anything that will hang around for the next year or anything but still a decet show. All and all that is all you can ask for. Hope it’s good!

Well, it looks like there is a new development in the Tanis saga as he wants to stay on Earth with the Starbolts. Will they let him stay? Probably. We’ll see more of him, soon. But, we’re going to jump ahead to New Inobus for the next couple of comics so we can see what Firaxil is up to. Then we’ll be going to Aquarius for the birth of Shrall and Tayalla’s baby. April is going to be a busy month for the Starbolts.
At least we have some progress in the form of Ethan Knight taking interest in what’s going on with Angela. What exactly is “void magic”? Why do so many people call it a myth? There are so many questions. Could “void magic” be responsible for Angela’s condition? And what about Jenna and Norad? It seems like many Starbolts are broken this year doesn’t it? Well, it keeps them all human. That’s all I can say!
Keep it here for more Starbolts action this month and beyond! See ya next time!
Good news everyone! Today I will be attempting to recreate the parasite-ridden truck stop bathroom vending machine egg salad sandwich from Futurama, hopefully without the parasites. We’ll see how that goes.
The word got out this morning that New Japam Pro Wrestling will be using a new title belt for their world champion Kota Ibushi. The 4th generation IWGP belt as it is being called. They debuted it last night and HOLY COW is it a nice looking title belt!
I have been a fan of NJPW going back to the early 1990s and reading about it in the magazines of the day. Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler, Sports Review Wrestling, they usually had stories about what was going on there with pictures and descriptions of wrestlers like Antonio Inoki, Shinya Hashimoto, Masa Saito, and anybody else that wrestled under that banner. I remember first reading about Jushin “Thunder” Liger, Big Van Vader, and reading of the exploits of Tiger Mask (the second one anyway)
But part of that was the belt the champion wore around his waist, The IWGP champion. I later read about how that came about. A big moment for me at the time was when I saw the WCW/Japan supershow for the first time. I had read about it and the match with Ric Flair taking on Tatsumi Fujinami with both guys putting their belts on the line and thinking it was probably a cool match. I rented out the videotape and it was! I found out that this version of the tape was not the whole card but it was better than nothing. There was a video of a lot of my favorite Japanese names and I was watching it. I still have that show on a burned DVD. I also have the complete version of the show on another DVD too.
I have heard what happened with the previous version of the title and how Brock Lesnar took the belts for himself. NJPW had to make another version of the belt and that was the one they had been using until recently. Don’t know all the details but from what I hear he was never a good fit with NJPW anyway.
But looking at this new belt. I love it. It is designed to look much different and can’t be mistaken for anyone’s else world title. It looks like something someone would hold high over their head after a hell of a match that went on for over an hour and beat each other nearly senseless to be able to hold. Kota Ibushi has done that before and I am expecting to do it again.
Make the 4th Generation belt proud and make it YOUR belt Kota Ibushi!

Well, as one adventure comes to a close, it looks like another one begins. Along for the ride to Earth is Rudo. What could he be up to? We’ll find out soon enough. Right now Angela’s story has come to a close. But, don’t worry. We WILL be revisiting her in the not too distant future. Next week we’ll be seeing what Firaxil is up to. Could it tie with the current storyline? MAAYBE! Depends on how you look at it.
As far as Tanis goes, I wonder why he’s going to Earth. Maybe he’s looking to make amends? Maybe he’s looking for a way to help Angela? Maybe it’s both? Hard to say. Who doesn’t love a good mystery? Actually, who doesn’t love a good retribution arc? That’s what this story is looking to become. See ya next time!
