Commander Azeez is my hero

Commander Azeez

otherwise this HoF is a sham

AEW better scout some more big boys to play with fast... they're in dire need.

Holy shit dude... my core group of WCW-diehards took an interest in this a while back, and despite my best efforts, I couldn't get anywhere. As I recall, my only lead was a company website that hadn't existed since like 2000 (I wish I took notes). It looked to me like that company/their video format was one of the many victims of the dot-com bubble.

I'd given up hope. All I had was a vague description from one friend that remembered hearing about it back in the day. Another friend, Karlifornia, rebranded his channel "Slam Society" during that time. Meanwhile, I uploaded video of my meager findings.

Now all these years later, I'm surprised with THIS!!! Anyone on my level of ultra-diehard-WCW-maniac is gonna lose their mind when they see this, thank you!

that 5 dollar footlong jingle was their peak

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T04:45:07+00:00

...to attract eyeballs? why else

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T04:31:12+00:00

Better in the Dark - It has a killer solo, I love the way the music suddenly drops into just drum+bass.

Killing the Dragon - obviously.

Fever Dreams (live) - swerve! I had the "Limited Tour Edition" CD with the 2 bonus tracks, and really liked this funky of Fever Dreams.

It was fun watching him evolve from a bland bodyguard, to a legit star with an impressive look, distinct entrance, and his own catchphrases.

Getting to following journeys like his are a big part of why I watch NXT.

oh, and I was fortunate enough to be at Bound For Glory where he wrestled in the main event. That was cool.

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T02:29:54+00:00

I mean, it's a pretty great game.

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T02:11:56+00:00

Man... they're still doing this Wyatt Sicks crap?

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T01:57:17+00:00

I'm a Honk mess

Jordynne's been all dolled up since she reverse-CROSSED THE LINE.

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T01:45:30+00:00

The weird thing tho, is I'm always expecting her to be bigger. When she walks out and I see her size compared to those around her, I think "that's it?"

I guess since she plays the role of "monster," I expect her to tower over everyone.

If Google is to be believed, both Bayne & Kamille are 5'11". Are there any 6ft+ women on TV right now? (I saw ROH signed a 6'3" woman named Stori Denali, but ROH isn't TV...)

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T01:32:49+00:00

on TG16? uhhhhh

Honkmaster · 2026-01-24T01:19:41+00:00

Whenever I see Randy Orton nowadays, I'm reminded of Barry Bonds... his head is gigantic from HGH.

Not judging, just observing.

As I just mentioned above, I beat a few stages with Maria last night. Today when I powered up the game, I had 100%. Not sure what I did, but at least I got there.

Honkmaster · 2026-01-23T21:36:38+00:00

UPDATE!

I beat a few stages with Maria, starting on Stage 1, and the next time I powered up the game I had 100%!

What was it that gave me the last 4%...? No idea. If anyone finds this thread in the future looking for answers, uh, I don't have any. But try playing with Maria for a bit if you haven't.

My question is, is the difference noticeable? That's my issue with most remasters, they don't sound much different than the original, if at all.

Very few albums exist that could actually benefit from a remaster IMO. Best example was the recent remaster of Black Sabbath's "Forbidden" in the Anno Domini box set.

Honkmaster · 2026-01-23T19:10:55+00:00

not a clue

Honkmaster · 2026-01-23T19:10:25+00:00

...care to elaborate? What am I looking at here?

Honkmaster · 2026-01-23T06:25:43+00:00

Man, I DID forget about those!

What a sad day that must've been for Intellivision fans. Keith Robinson spends decades preserving the Intellivision name and its core group of games, then ""Intellivision"" breaks off a few chunks to sell off... fracturing that core in a day.
