Triple Threat: A Look At Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble 25 Years Later
Triple Threat: A Look At Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble 25 Years Later
August 15, 2019

1994 was a big year for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise as it saw the release of three games. The first being the long awaited Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the second was Sonic and Knuckles which was an innovative game that used locked on technology allowing the player as Knuckles in Sonic 2 while transforming two games into one with Sonic 3. However, a third game also came out that same year that largely flew under the radar likely due to it being only released on the Sega Game Gear and that game was Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble. With the 25 Anniversary coming in November, we'll take a look at a solid Sonic outing that got overlooked possibly due to a combination of the system is was released on and that fact the franchise was churning out many classics at the time.

A Look at the 2019 NOAH N-1 Victory Tournament and the Participants
A Look at the 2019 NOAH N-1 Victory Tournament and the Participants

Back in 2010, Pro Wrestling NOAH established a yearly heavyweight round robin tournament called the Global League. The tournament was supposed to be to the organization what the G-1 Climax is to New Japan Pro Wrestling, the Champion Carnival is to All Japan Pro Wrestling, or the Fire Festival is to Pro Wrestling ZERO1. However, with the change in management in 2019, NOAH saw many changes including new logo and the end of their signature green mats. Another change was the renaming of the Global League to the N-1 Victory tournament. For the first annual N-1 Victory, things got more interesting when it was announced current GHC (Global Honored Crown) Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya would not participate and that the winner would be the number one contender to the GHC Heavyweight Championship with the match being held at Sumo Hall on November 2nd. As I've done this year with the Champion Carnival and Fire Festival, I shall take a look at the participants and see where I think they stand.

I just realized we had some morbid anniversaries this year. I already brought up this year being the 60th Anniversary of "The Day The Music Died" back on February 3rd but there's more.
January 26th was the 40th Anniversary of the passing of former Vice President of the United States and Governor of New York Nelson Rockefeller who apparently went out in a way most would want to by "dying in the saddle" at 70. A true man's man.
February 26th was the 25th Anniversary of the passing of Bill Hicks, probably the best comedian you never heard of at 32 due to cancer.
July 20th was the 35th Anniversary of runner Jim Fixx who some may remember for being an advocate of running and wrote books on it during the 70s. He also became known for having one of the most ironic deaths ever by dying of a heart attack....while running. Speaking of Bill Hicks, he did an awesome bit about Fixx, his death, Keith Richards outliving him, and asking what you write about running.
I would also point out May 16th is the 35th Anniversary of Andy Kaufman's passing but let's be real, we know he's still alive in an undisclosed location with Elvis. Probably where Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen.
