  • My work treated us to bagels and pastries for VDay treats. I made signs for it.
  • Vince and I ate at Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. They had Red Velvet Lava Cake. So damn good.
  • Played some Overwatch for a bit. Oh! I also got Vince's post-Anniversary/pre-Valentine's Day gift, which was an Overwatch hooded jacket. He loves it :D And he got me a knitted burger plushie, earrings, and a jade necklace.

Saturday (2/13):


  • We decided to celebrated VDay early. Started by watching Deadpool, which was such a good movie. Kudos to Ryan Reynolds for fighting so hard to make this movie happen.
  • After the movie, we went to Via Brasil, an all-you-can-eat steakhouse. We went all out and went for the Sterling Dinner. Problem is that we don't eat as much as we used to so we were pretty stuffed.
  • Walked around Downtown Summerlin to fight the food coma. I bought myself a Sailor Moon tanktop and an Evee lanyard.
  • Played some Diablo III while Vince played Destiny.

Valentine's Day / Sunday (2/14):

  • We just treated this day as a regular Sunday and did some grocery shopping at Costco. And yes, someone was walking around in that inflatable T-Rex costume. It was so funny to see him picking out roses and then checking out. It made everybody smile.
  • Went home and played even more Diablo III. First I played with Dan and Corrine. Then Vince and I played with Josh. We stopped playing around 9:00 pm to catch the season premiere of The Walking Dead.
  • Speaking of Walking Dead, HOLY SHIT IT WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SERIES. STUFF FROM THE COMICS HAPPENED.
  • Afterwards, I decided to catch up and read up on our graphic novels, Saga and The Walking Dead. Ever since Vince was furloughed last year, we stopped buying comic book issues. It sucks but it was an expensive habit. Looks like we'll be going back to collecting paperback versions instead.
  • Watched ROH before going to bed. They confirmed the card for the 14th Anniversary Show, which we're not going to. We're doing the TV taping on Saturday.

What to expect for Monday Night RAW:

This is a new section I'm adding to the weekend recaps since I do it on Mondays. It's a nice transition to the RAW recaps I do on Tuesdays.

Anyways, tonight is the go home show and there is a lot of anticipation building up for Fastlane. The last 2 weeks have been heavily focusing Ambrose and Lesnar, while Reigns has remained suspiciously quiet and less involved in their upcoming triple threat match to be the #1 contender. There are several predicted outcomes for Fastlane:

  • Wyatt family interferes and takes out Lesnar. Reigns pins Ambrose to be the #1 contender.
  • Wyatt family interferes and takes out Lesnar. Ambrose turns heel and pins Reigns to be the #1 contender.
  • Not sure how it plays out between Ambrose and Reigns but Lesnar wins and becomes the #1 contender
  • Due to Authority shenanigans, Ambrose AND Reigns become #1 contenders, turning the main event at Wrestlemania into a triple threat

Ideally, I would have love to see Ambrose, current IC champ, be the #1 contender and face off against HHH at Wrestlemania. If WWE is looking to recreate their Daniel Bryan moment, they would go with this scenario instead of forcing it with Reigns. However, seeing how this PPV is taking place in Ambrose's home state, and knowing WWE's tendency to make wrestlers lose in their hometown and/or homestate (see Reigns getting booed during Royal Rumble in Florida), I'm expecting the predictable outcome of Reigns winning so that he gets his Wrestlemania moment. I'm more excited for NXT: Takeover Dallas than Wrestlemania itself.
