I've heard 128GB will work too, you just need to format it as FAT32.
The only problem I heard was that it takes longer to turn on.

Back to wrestling - I'm very sad that we've gone a couple weeks without a good Stratton match.

I tried formatting it to FAT32. No luck. I'm fine with my 64GB as I own those 130 carts.

I'm focusing on collecting for the PS3 and then PS2. My XBOX Series X has good backward compatibility and I have a lot of XBOX and XBOX 360 games either digital or physical.

It's odd - everyone says 64GB is fine, but there are mixed results for the 128. So you're not alone.
Still, 64GB is HUGE considering how small each game is.

Did you get the friend code working & any online games you were thinking of playing?

I'm particular about unopened games - I rarely buy used ones. So while I still grab the odd PS3 game, it's pretty rare to find a sealed PS2 game. Plus, the best games of that era are being upscaled for the current systems.

I haven’t broke out the 3DS yet. Been playing Dirt 3 on XBOX 360 like crazy.

I have been able to get good deals on unopened PS3 and XBOX 360 games mainly from eBay. You can still find some unopened PS2 and original XBOX games. I’m very picky how I buy my games.

Apparently there will be no NXT UK tapings for a couple weeks because the studio they film in is being used for a soccer show. Not the soccer game itself obviously, just the "in-studio" portions with the commentators, etc. Apparently even that part of the production is so big they need the space of the entire NXT arena.

Actually almost excited, definitely being more than mildly interested, in seeing what RAW has in store for us tonight. In the short term things have been better since Vince abdicated the throne.

That Gunther/Shinsuke match on Smackdown was a breath of fresh air. I want more hard-hitting combative action like that. Gunther is great. He has a very cruel face and beats the dogshit out of people in the ring. Ring General is right!

That was a good match-you could really feel the crowd getting into it. Not a fan of the spot of grabbing the arm of someone who is splashing you from the top rope, but other than that, great match.
Also, is having women ref the male matches a thing now? I never really noticed till this match.

A good referee should be able to enforce the rules but otherwise be invisible. Doesn’t matter the gender if they can maintain order. Nobody marks out over baseball umpires, do they?

The weird Mime/Ballerina/Marilyn Manson look alike in AEW sucks and gets in the way because she’s trying to get herself over as the commentators are kissing her ass too. Aubrey is trash.

I thought RAW was good last night too. Really like seeing that fire from Kevin Owens. Theory got a nice, clean victory over Dolph too.

I usually fall asleep 4-5 times during RAW but last night I was able to remain conscious for the entire 3 hours and I started the show at 2:25AM.

I'm all for it. I just thought it was noteworthy since they released Chloe Christmas/Blair Baldwin a couple months ago. If they were going to expand the role of female refs, it didn't seem to make sense they would cut them. Then again, this was during the VKM days, so maybe she cockblocked him and got released? Or maybe it's the direction of the "new management"?

OK, nobody cares but last Wednesday on AEW Dynamite Sonny Kiss turned heel and joined up with Ari Daivari and the Trustbusters. If I held the book I would feature Sonny as a valet that sacheys around the ring but constantly interferes exposing his masculine side punching people and using foreign objects. What makes this even more unique is that when one of Sonny's teammates is taking a horrible beating about to be defeated he crawls on his belly to the corner where Sonny is waiting with a squirt bottle that has GENDER FLUID written on the side. Once consumed they come back to life stronger than ever like eating Popeye's spinach. There will be out of the ring segments where the fellas are trying to ask Sonny what the secret ingredient is but Sonny is always one step ahead being evasive marching all the way to the pay windah.

What's the name of the Black lady referee with the tight body? Also, does she have an itty-bitty bikini pictoral? She can stay. I like her. Good ref too. Wonder if she tried to be a wrestler.

Thank you, sir. She seems like a bit of a spinner. Nice.

NXT UK cut several wrestlers, including Amale. A little surprising since I thought they were trying to diversify the UK women's division, and a Black French woman would have checked several boxes.

Diversity in wrestling is like having different gimmicks. If it works and gets over then do it. Know your audience and put the right talent in front of them. Bill Watts made a ton of money with Junkyard Dog in New Orleans during Mid-South Wrestling.

Kenny Williams, Ashton Smith, Primate, Dani Luna, Nina Samuels, Sha Samuels, Sam Gradwell, Rohan Raja, Millie McKenzie, Wild Boar, Flash Morgan Webster, Mark Andrews, Jack Starz, Amale and Dave Mastiff.

It's a massacre in the UK.... 😱

Some will come to American NXT and I imagine the rest with scatter throughout the European Indies like 1PW(UK) and wXw(Germany) until NXT Europe begins.

until NXT Europe begins.

Is that a thing? I haven't heard about it, but it could be interesting if real.

It's interesting to see that they're willing to have 2 promotions in the UK/EU, but too scared to create a branch in either Japan or Mexico.
