The Fortnight in A Bad Education Towers #012
Intro
Nearly forgot about this already!
New Stuff
No new videos this week, mainly due to a combination of laziness and being busy. Working a 9 to 5 at the same as home schooling is a massive pain, mainly because there's hardly any time to do it during the week so it's either for after school or the weekends. So when it gets to the evening and everyone is in bed I've had enough so just want to watch some TV before going to bed.
Did get the new Conquistabores out last week though, a day later than planned due to the aforementioned squeeze on my spare time. It was a good one because we were talking about one of the very first PPVs I watched, and was probably the first WWF video I ever had. Which meant I had to cut out loads of me blathering on about random stuff and not getting to the point, which isn't too far from a normal edit to be fair. Writing this reminds me that I haven't put it on YouTube yet so that'll be a job for next week.
Thank God For News Websites
Talking about wrestling, the main event of last weeks AEW was really properly good. Not just because you had Fenix jumping around like an actual super hero or Pac delivering one of the best German suplexes you'll ever see but for the end of the show.
Quick SPOILER ALERT if you haven't it yet.
...
Okay?
Good.
Having Kenta turn up fresh from NJPW was a sight to behold. Yes, we've had crossover with Impact Wrestling over the last few weeks but a crossover with New Japan feels much more impactful. For a lot of wrestlers New Japan is what really gave them their cred, you only have to read the Young Bucks' book to get a feel for that. Being part of the Bullet Club not only helped their careers, the t-shirt sales it generated undoubtedly helped raise the Indie Wrestling scene to the point where AEW could become a thing. So those two companies working with each other feels so right, it's just annoying that we're in the middle of a global pandemic that has caused massive travel restrictions. This didn't stop the Conquistabores discord going into a massive booking frenzy (Kenny vs IbushI! Los Ignobernables vs Inner Circle! Yano vs Orange Cassidy!) which hopefully will come to pass when we can get on planes again.
But I still haven't got around to watching the Royal Rumble yet. Which is shocking as The Royal Rumble is the best time of the year, and all told it was meant to be good. And then the stuff Roman Reigns has been doing recently has been amazing. All of which I know, as keep up with everything via the dirt sheets, it's just that watching a three hour long show is a bit hard to do sometimes. Having that nice hour long chunk of AEW (plus Being the Elite on YouTube) is just an easy nice amount of wrestling to watch.
I shouldn't be allowed to shop by myself
Went to Lidl to get some shopping and bought this:
The question was then, of course, if you could wear it as a helmet which the box said you weren't supposed to do:
But you should never let anything stand between you and your dreams:
I am 40 years old.
It was totally fetch
Watched Mean Girls with Ethan this week so now we're going to make him watch more late 90s/early 00s teen films; Ten Things I Hate About You, Clueless, all of those. We might take a side step into the teen horror films from the time, like Scream. We did watch the beginning of it last Halloween but not all of it. Basically, he needs to learn that everything was better when I was younger and he shouldn't like anything knew. I think thats the intention but I might need to check on that.
Outro
Hopefully will have some new stuff posted by the next newsletter, maybe even a review as sure I have some Kickstarters landing soon.
Anyways, bye!
