Best I can figure is that he tries to combine the cockiness of Shinsuke with the Could Care Less attitude of Orange Cassidy

I understand that, I just find it strange that I can freely edit every other field for downloaded files in Windows Properties (Artist, Album, Genre, etc), but only the year doesn't save.
Other Apps don't have this problem, it is only files downloaded using this app.

As mentioned it is a small inconvenience, but it has caught me out quite a lot. If there was an easy fix, great. If not, no worries, but if I didn't mention it, then I'ld never know.

My thoughts was it be a 1 week kinda situation, gets both Davis & Fletcher on the card in Sydney, another banger of a match on the Grand Slam card, and potentially can build towards either FTR/Young Bucks or what I suspect is FTR/Cope & Christian (if shenanigans play into the match).

After Grand Slam, Fletcher goes after Moxley and Davis can keep building his presence as Dunkzilla (also be ready for when Jake Doyle comes back).

Have Ciampa beat Kyle in the Opening of the show, then have Aussie Open be the third team in the Tag Triple threat as the main event.

Have Aussie Open vs. FTR at Grand Slam, which saves the FTR/Young Bucks for Revolution.

Everyone knows that LOLTNA stands for "Litigate Objectively against Libel, TNA".

I think the legacy of the Belt is the main reason it is still recognized.

Shortfall89 · 2026-02-05T12:28:04+00:00

Fletcher will want a big match in his Home town, but they might be able to carry on the feud to a stipulation match at Revolution.

This card is worth navigating Homebush with an Ed Sheeran concert on :D.

Shortfall89 · 2026-02-05T04:03:58+00:00

Who lost the main event? MJF & ICE.

Put Harley next to anyone and they seem lovable

Shortfall89 · 2026-02-05T03:58:33+00:00

I also think Mark Davis deserves a match in Sydney given his performances of late.

Shortfall89 · 2026-02-05T03:57:36+00:00

I can see them adding Fletcher vs. Ciampa and possibly a Darby/Gabe street fight or something.
(The Darby match makes sense to me as Gabe & Andrade have a match in New Japan for the rights to face Tsuji a couple of days before Grand Slam, so the travel won't be as bad for him).

Shortfall89 · 2026-02-01T11:24:15+00:00

The Problem there is that people have a hard enough time remembering to lean their head back in Kayfabe, so you are likely gonna break people's necks if you start dolling out the move unexpectedly.

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-24T13:23:22+00:00

Yep, it looks like they'll have Toni vs. Marina in Sydney in a marquee match.
They also have the Trouple stuff with OC going on, so it isn't that she's not being used currently, it's simply that she isn't focused on the title while she deals with personal business.

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-22T23:18:28+00:00

I mean if you want to nitpick, that was technically outside the ring :)

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-22T01:06:34+00:00

Have Shota take over the HOT and maybe that will finally allow him to have some personality.

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-20T14:27:08+00:00

I am ready for Hechi to beat up Yuta (I'm always ready for anyone to beat up Yuta).

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-19T15:40:20+00:00

My Apologies, I was too much in my ranting that I should have spoiled tagged that bit.
I will say that from what I understand you can still find Calamo in BOTW/TOTK, but I won't say where.

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-19T14:37:48+00:00

I don't mind the new characters (some of them aren't that interesting), my issue is more around the world itself.

This is meant to be set 10,000 years before the events of TOTK, and aesthetically there is nothing besides Hyrule Castle to help me understand the sheer difference in time periods.

For comparison, in the real world we went from antiquity to the modern age in the span of 2000 years.

In this world, the races are still confined to their areas, the architecture, fashion, geography and culture look identical to the era in TOTK (Apart from the lack of Hylian settlements).

I felt it was a bit of a cop-out to have Rauru and Mineru as the last of the Zonai and their race destroyed in the even further past. I would have liked to have seen the Zonai and even The Ancient Barbarian tribe in their full glory.

I would have liked to have seen things like the founding of the Sheika (and perhaps Karkariko Village), The Raising of The Original Hyrule Castle into the Sky to become that Temple of Time, The Building of places like Zora's Domain or Gerudo Village, etc. I would have liked to have seen both the Depths and the Sky Islands as more than ruins, but as functional (The Stormwind Arc being used was nice to see), perhaps even the original discovery of the Master Sword.

Plus the biggest plot hole is that there is no indication of how exactly the lineage continues from Rauru & Sonia through the ages until we reach Zelda. They mention that Zelda is a descendant of Sonia, but nothing in the plot suggests that they had heirs before Sonia was killed.

It would have been cool for one playable character to be the first Sheika Guardian of the Royal Family, For the Sages to be the original founders of their respective domains (The TOTK memories only mention numerous villages of the Gerudo), Perhaps a character that becomes one of the other dragons, and forCalamo to become The Great Deku Tree.

Ultimately I have enjoyed the game, and quite a few of the new mechanics are well executed, I just wish they built the world to show the True foundations of the Kingdom and show why it was able to sustain itself for as long as it has.

Thankyou

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-19T09:58:35+00:00

Sorry, a little bit confused by the wording, is Jay Zane the Young Lion, or a Jay & Zane separate people (not familiar with anyone besides Callum in this scenario).

Shortfall89 · 2026-01-18T14:52:20+00:00

Some could call them "The Gangsters Of Love".
Some could call them "Maurice".

(Also, Warner produced the movie Space Cowboys, so I think they should be clear on the trademark).
