I haven't done these in a while and for once, it's going to be positive!
So after the whole thing with Vince's job situation, he ended up getting his job back at his previous job (the same one where he was basically furloughed) and is happily quite busy again. As for me, I'm still here at my same job. It didn't occur to me that I would be hitting my 4th year in November. It still feels like I left my previous job 2 years ago. Speaking of which, I got a call from my manager, Alex, out of the blue. He was looking at laser cutting stuff and wanted to see if I was still working there. I should stop by and visit when I have some free time.
Anyways, job stuff aside, our interests has changed this year. Vince and I were hitting our stride with keeping up to date on comics books and breezing through graphic novels. Last year, we sadly had to give it up after Vince lost his job, so now we're left with 2 big box of unfinished comic book issues. We're also not that interested in comic book conventions anymore, at least for the time being. We skipped out on this year's Wizard World Las Vegas (Vince even skipped out on meeting Paige) and we'll probably skip out on the upcoming Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con in the summer. It was an expensive habit to get into and we were getting overwhelmed with trying to keep up with all the new series and storylines that were being churned out. Comics are out and pro-wrestling is in.
Back in February, Vince and I went to ROH's 14th Anniversary PPV at Sam's Town. I recently got Vince tickets for WWE's Money In The Bank PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in June as a birthday gift. And I just bought tickets for ROH's 2nd Vegas PPV, Death Before Dishonor, at Sam's Town in August. My interest in wrestling has gotten out of hand, to say the least. I've been through fandom phases before but not one as serious as this sicne Doctor Who. This is due to watching other promotions besides like ROH, NJPW, LU, etc. I'm still very much a WWE fan and I'm hoping my current favorites - Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Sami Zayn, and AJ Styles - will have a good year now that the Authority vs Reigns storyline has finally ended.
Right now, our plans for the end on the year are up in the air because we're in the middle of looking at houses. Our contract for our apartment is ending soon and we hate that it's been steadily going up every year. Getting a house means we can finally get a Corgi! Priorities man...

Weekend Recap (2/26/16 - 2/28/16)
Friday (2/26):
- Vince had to work late. I went to Market Grille Cafe to get some takeout for us.
- We happily ate our Pomegranate Chicken Wrap and Greek Trio dishes as we watched the ROH 14th Anniversary PPV in our computer room.
- My co-worker Jon, who's very new to ROH and NJPW and whom I coaxed into buying a ticket to watch the PPV, really enjoyed it. He was getting a bit frustrated with WWE as of late so me and a former co-worker, Zeeshan, are showing to him other wrestling alternatives.
Saturday (2/27):
- We stayed in the whole morning. We got ready for the ROH 14th Anniversary TV tapings.
- I posted the experience here on my Wordpress Blog.
Sunday (2/28):
- I went to the Henderson Convention Center for Maker Faire. This place was SUPER FAR. It's like I was in a small town. I had to park at the Eldorado casino because the convention center's parking lot was full. I took some pics and video but I left after about 2 hours.That said, I was pretty disappointed with it. Granted the last time I went was 2 years ago, this Maker Faire felt so small. My only highlight was abruptly crawling from underneath the table while Claire was talking to people about the product demos.
- I got a late lunch at Flame Broiler
- Passed out while Vince played Destiny
- Watched DOPE. Man, what a smart movie.
- Played a bit of Diablo III before heading to bed
What to expect for Monday Night RAW:
Undertaker is making an appearance tonight, most likely to respond on suddenly being put in a match against Shane McMahon. People were wondering if Taker is now a heel if he's fighting for Vince. Also, Shane looks like he's taking his match seriously and has been posting videos of himself training with a Muy Thai coach.
Roman Reigns, still recovering from his deviated septum surgery HHH beating the crap out of him, and Brock Lesnar are reportedly not booked tonight. Does this mean Ambrose and Heyman are going to have some mic time? While this sounds great for Heyman to bounce off someone, I'm worried that Ambrose might be put into a random singles match or a 4-man tag team match. I hate how the talents almost don't interact with each other unless they're in a match or a storyline together. Who's Ambrose going to interact with besides Heyman, Lesnar, Reigns, and the Authority for the next month?
Tonight will also see if Sasha Banks or Becky Lynch will be the #1 contender for Charlotte's Divas's title at Wrestlemania. I hope it becomes a triple threat. Becky needs the title shot!

ROH: Aftershock Tour
Oh crap, I'm doing this out of order!
Vince and I went to Sam's Town for the ROH: Aftershock Tour on Friday. We got there pretty early to eat at TGIFriday's before heading inside. It had a very stacked card, including the return of Austin Aries, who left TNA just a few months earlier. Here was the event:
VEGAS WILD CARD MAIN EVENT
Jay Lethal, Austin Aries, and Moose vs. Jay Briscoe, Dalton Castle, and Kyle O'Reilly
ROPPONGI VICE (Rocky Romero & Berretta) vs. YOUNG BUCKS (Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson)
ROH TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER TOURNAMENT
WINNERS FACE OFF IN 3-WAY ELIMINATION TO DETERMINE #1 CONTENDER FOR TV CHAMPIONSHIP
Christopher Daniels vs. Mark Briscoe
Matt Taven vs. Bobby Fish
Frankie Kazarian vs. ACH
Women of Honor Match
ODB vs NANAE TAKAHASHI
Maria Kanellis will have a special announcement!
ALSO IN ACTION...
Adam Cole
Michael Bennett
Silas Young
WAR MACHINE (HANSON & ROWE)
It was a fun show! I got ridiculously excited to see Dalton Castle and his boys at the Meet & Greet table before the show started. I bought a Young Bucks tshirt and was a bit mad that they didn't sell any streamers (some fans bought their own!). I took a lot of instagram videos from that night except for ODB vs Nanae Takahashi (holy crap, she was awesome to watch) and Will Ferrera (who was the camera man that Dean Ambrose accidentally knocked out back in May) vs The Romantic Touch as the pre-show match.
