CRITICAL!

Come for the discussions on Toy Fair New York, WWE Elimination Chamber, the video game industry, & comics. Stay for me raving about Stardom, almost choking to death and Mongo burying Barry Horowitz deeper than a year's worth of Wrestling Challenge.

Another JAM PACKED episode as we look at AJW for the PS1. Beautiful animations unfortunately doesn't make up for flawed gameplay. Mongo DESTROYS the UPW/AKI announcement (jk), we talk AEW Grand Slam, our wish lists for Toy Fair, and romancing inanimate objects.

Programming note! Going forward, we are simply going by CRITICAL! Wrestling and wrestling games will still be our bread and butter, but considering we discuss our other hobbies, we may have episodes dedicated to a subject that falls outside of wrestling games. We were gone last week so this is a massive episode discussing the WWE 2K25 reveal, the Marvel Premier Collection and soooooo much more.

It's episode sixty nine, dude (do people still say nice?)! We're looking at Steve Austin's appearances in wrestling games, all the way back from Warzone to modern titles. We also take a detour from wrestling games (as we often do) as Mongo looks at the original Spider-Man movie game for the Xbox. I have some thoughts on the GTA Vice CIty Nextgen Edition mod that released, we talk the WWE 2K25 rumors and hints, UPW Patreon and so much more.

We decided to look at another joshi Super Famicom game after the really fun, Super Stardust Suplex. Unfortunately, JWP doesn't have much to offer. There's one interesting mode that has yet to be translated. As usual, we also look at video game news, figures, comics and thoughts on the debut of RAW on Netflix and AEW.

We would have recorded last week but Indiana Jones made me sick. So, we're back to talk memories of Christmas past, all the big shows held by major promotions, figure and video game news, and the state of the MCU and DCU. Plus, a story about giant poo. Happy Holidays!

Really awesome show this week as we are joined by special guest, gackdaw. Gackdaw updates us on two games in development, Ultraviolence Wrestling and High Dives.

WWE brought back Saturday Night's Main Event last night so we decided to review the show and discuss the events short video game history. There's also a UPW Patreon reveal that we tease, talk figures and when the hell did WWF switch to the Attitude logo?

We're back this week with WWF RAW. A game where the fun ends when the match begins. A bit of gaming news, more speculation regarding a Fight Forever sequel, NXT Deadline, and the state of AEW.

WrestleMania 2000 sometimes feels overlooked as it's sandwiched between WWF No Mercy and WCW/nWo Revenge. So we decided to take a look at it for the 25th anniversary of its release. Mongo also has his thoughts on AEW Full Gear. We also review events of the last 22 years. It's relevant, trust me.
