Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/15/20


3 Up

1. Medical Officials and Practitioners - In the midst of this crazy time, we should give props to many of the healthcare professionals still doing work in hospitals, studies on the current outbreak, and the many currently in labs working on ways to stop this thing. There are a lot of brave people going unnoticed in all of the hysteria.

2. Mark Cuban - As sporting leagues across the world shut down this week, it was Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, who on the night the NBA announced it's suspension, didn't worry about his team, or even his bottom dollar. Cuban instead placed focus on the hundreds of hourly workers who would be affected by the shutdown in his organization and let it be known that he would be taking care of them. That was awesome - and it also placed so much pressure on all of the owners within the NBA, and eventually, throughout the other leagues. Class act move by Cuban.

3. WWE - It is times like this where the WWE, and really, pro wrestling as a whole, reaches further than many of our live entertainment mediums. As everything shuts down, it is the WWE (and now, AEW) who have decided to keep running new content from empty arenas, or training facilities, to provide outlets for fans during this time. And you know what, someone like me enduring this time and so much more, needs it.

3 Down

1. Coronavirus - Doesn't need any explaining, does it? Stay safe, and be well, everyone.

2. Spring Breakers - Can you imagine being so selfish as to ignore everything around you regarding this outbreak? Sure, you can have your debate on the severity, or maybe the "overhyping" or sensationalism of the outbreak, but flat out disrespecting what is happening here is the type of behavior that will lead our government to protect us from ourselves.

3. Toilet Paper Choas - The idea that there are some people buying carts (and carts) worth of toilet paper, and not allowing many others the opportunity to purchase a rational amount, is maddening to me. Especially so, in such a time as the one, we're living in. Quite frankly, those doing so are ridiculous.

1 SMH

1. Carlos Cordeiro - The now-former President of United States Soccer claimed in his argument against the United States National Women's Team (regarding their gender equality lawsuit), that the men's team had more "responsibility" and required more "skill" than the women's team. Seriously, all jokes aside, has anyone - ANYONE - watched the United States Men's Soccer Team as of late? Within the last two years? Four Years? Six Years? The level of gender bias within this organization is so incredibly head-scratching.

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The Incredibles 2 (2018)

What is it about? The Parr family returns to take on a new mission which involves a change in family roles as well as a new villain. Who is in it? Craig T. Nelson - Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible Holly Hunter - Helen Parr/Elastagirl Sarah Powell - Violet Parr Favorite Scene: After trying to contain Jack-Jack, his constant battle with a backyard rodent opens up the family to the multitude of powers that he possesses, or even, can develop. Favorite Quote: "If you wanna get out of the hole, first you gotta put down the shovel." Review: Like many, I LOVED the original Incredibles film. And yes, I too was annoyed whenever a sequel wasn't announced. After all, there were many franchises that debuted, got a sequel, and even moved straight to release on their third installment before our lovable heroic family got their turn! But I digress... Nonetheless, it finally arrived. And if I'm being honest, The Incredibles 2 was good. It just wasn't what I wa

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/2/23

3 Up 1. Women's College Basketball - From the epic semi-final that was Iowa vs. South Carolina that crushed it in the ratings to today's awesome drama that was Iowa vs. LSU, women's basketball earned some much-deserved respect in the mainstream sports media. Shout out to all in today's game - loved it.  1a. Confident Women - I'm not jumping on a hot take regarding Caitlin Clark and Angela Reese. Both are super confident women who talked trash and balled. Give the women the space to do it, take it, and express it - like we do the men. Much respect to Clark and to Reese as well.  2. Wrestlemania - An amazing two nights for the WWE. Just epic storytelling and overall solidifies the greatest live event in entertainment. No one does it like the WWE.  3. Pandemic Over (?) - So, I'm not sure if anyone has officially, officially ended the pandemic - if they did, I definitely missed it. However, with the Senate voting to overturn the COVID-19 national emergency order, is

Impact No Surrender 2023 Review: "Interested in where the Product is Going"

I've fallen behind on my Impact Wrestling viewing, but honestly, that's okay. For viewership and enjoyment, yes. Not so well for posting a review for readership long after it's noteworthy or relevant. But whatevs, that's just where I am in life. Wrestling is much more fun removed from the restraints and influence of the criticism and impact (no pun intended) of the current time. That's just me. You can probably thank social media. Moving on, No Surrender 2023 continues Impact's progress into the new year. The product is still solid and consistent with a nice blend of characters and wrestlers moving in and out of the main event scene, along with a fresh batch of a resurgence of characters and occurrences. Nothing says that more than Rich Swann vs. Josh Alexander.  No Surrender was a solid event, but it does leave me extremely interested in where the product is going, or should I say planning, for 2023. I don't want to say that Alexander's title reign has
