My Thoughts on WWE Clash in Paris (2025)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, yesterday saw the WWE holding the premium event Clash in Paris. Unfortunately, due to other obligations, I missed watching it live. But, I was able to catch the replay after the fact, and here are my thoughts on the event. 

       So, kicking things off was a match between Bronson Reed and Roman Reigns, which saw Roman Reigns win the match. And, the best part was when Roman took what is referred to as the "shoe-la fala" and cut it apart. But, the fun was ruined when both Reed and Bron Breakker attacked Roman, forcing Raw general manager Adam Pearce to ban both men from the building, under penalty of indefinite suspension without pay. 

        The next match was a WWE Tag Team Championship match between the Wyatt Sicks and the Street Profits, and the Wyatt Sicks emerged victorious and retained the championship belts. And, I will say I enjoyed the Street Profits' Borderlands inspired gear, including the masks from the Borderlands game series. After that, there was a WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella, and Becky Lynch emerged victorious and retained her championship. 

         Next up was a match between Sheamus and Rusev, with the two facing off in a "Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match," which is basically a No Disqualifications hardcore match that involves wood barrels of Irish Brandy as well as shillelaghs. The winner of the match was, ultimately, Rusev. The penultimate match was a one-on-one match between John Cena and Logan Paul. And, Cena, who got a massive ovation from the crowd in Paris, was ultimately the victor. 

       And, now, we come to the main event: a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso. The match itself was pretty even in terms of skill, and I personally enjoyed both LA Knight and Jey Uso in the match. But, in the end, it was thanks to interference from Becky Lynch that Seth Rollins, who was about to be bested by Punk, won the match and retained the title. Now, remember how the duo of Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker were banned from the building after they tore Roman Reigns apart? Well, the workaround to that was having Becky Lynch show up to assist her real-life husband Seth Rollins in winning the match. Does this mean that Becky is officially joining Seth's faction The Vision? Possibly. But, who knows.

      Overall, aside from a couple of fun matches like the Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match, the Tag Team Championship match, and the Cena vs. Paul match, Clash in Paris was an overall decent premium event for WWE. While it might have been something to watch as it aired, I'm glad I was able to catch it after the fact. While I still think my favorite WWE premium event of the year was either Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, or WrestleMania, this was still a fun time. 

      Alright guys, this is Chuck signing off, and I'll see you in the next review.

HallowScream - Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001)

        Happy Halloween, everyone. Chuck here, and we've reached the end of another HallowScream . To finish out this month, I'm taking a look at something that not everyone will see as a Halloween movie, but a few do. This is my review of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie , released in 2001, and featuring the returns of Steve Blum as Spike Spiegel, Beau Billingslea as Jet Black, Wendee Lee as Faye Valentine, and Melissa Fahn as Ed.          Okay, so a few days before Halloween on Mars, Faye sees an unknown terrorist blow up a tanker truck while she's chasing another bounty. The blast unleashes a dangerous pathogen that kills many, and causes many others to fall ill. After the attack, the Martian government offers up a bounty of 300 million Woolong for the capture of the culprit. And, of course, the Bebop crew wants the bounty. Upon investigating, two things are discovered. First, the culprit may, in fact, be a man named Vincent Volaju, who was pr...

       Well, here we are. Snow White , the latest film from Disney to reimagine one of their animated classics, was directed by Marc Webb, written by Erin Cressida Wilson, and stars Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, Andrew Burnap, and Ansu Kabia, with motion capture performances by Martin Klebba, Jeremy Swift, George Salazar, and Titus Burgess just to name a few.        So, the movie tells the story of Snow White, a princess who goes on the run when, after consulting with the Spirit of the Magic Mirror, the Evil Queen grows jealous of her innermost radiance and wants her dead. Snow White meets and befriends several woodland critters, as well as the Seven Dwarfs (Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, and Grumpy), and a young man named Jonathan, who leads a group of bandits, and she works with them to save her kingdom from the rule of the Evil Queen.        Okay, so the myriad of controversies surrounding this movie are well docume...

Review - The Penguin (2024)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. The Penguin is the most recent series from HBO, and is a spin-off of the 2022 Matt Reeves film The Batman .          The series focuses on Oswald "Oz" Cobb, who is portrayed once again by Colin Farrell. Oz, after the events of the movie The Batman , finds himself in a very interesting position as far as the criminal underbelly of Gotham is concerned. Carmine Falcone is dead, Sal Maroni is still locked up, and there's a power play among the major criminal factions in the city. So, Oz takes on a young protege, Vic, and works in tandem with Sofia Falcone, Carmine's daughter, to reshape the criminal underworld of Gotham.           Now, not only does The Penguin showcase Oz's rise to greater power, but it also showcases a similar uprising for Sofia, who spent years in Arkham after being sent there by her father. And now, with both her father and brother (Carmine's son Alberto) dead, she m...
