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.

Today is apparently National Lazy Day. I guess other than Sunday, Saturday is the best day for it. Speaking of that, Leap Day will play a sick joke on us as next year National Lazy Day will be on a Monday so it's skipping Sunday.

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.
