The 10 Most Likely Royal Rumble Winners of 2017

Image
So there has been a lot of stir amongst the wrestling community concerning this year's annual Royal Rumble event, with so many possible winners and so many factors going into this match.  I'm interested to see which way WWE wants to go with the event, but as of right now, here are my top 10 most likely winners of the Royal Rumble Match. #10 - Goldberg With the hype surrounding Goldberg these last couple of months, especially by beating Brock Lesnar in the fashion that he did at Survivor Series, it's not unlikely that WWE would have Goldberg win the big one and challenge for the title at Wrestlemania.  He did say that he thought he had one more championship reign left in him, so only time will tell if WWE decides to cash in big on this freight train and give him one more shot at 'mania. #9 - Brock Lesnar Staying relatively close to my previous pick, Brock Lesnar is also confirmed for the Royal Rumble match.  It is also confirmed that once he and Goldber

Best Fictional TV Show Character Tournament (Round 1 Match 1) Pikachu vs Mallory Archer

So on my facebook page I started a tournament based around the best overall fictional TV show character in today's television programming. If you would like to partake in the tournament, find me on facebook as Jeremy Bandicoot and vote! I will be providing coverage on here for people who do not want to partake, as well as helping me keep content on this blog while I'm away for break. Round 1 Match 1 : Pikachu vs Mallory Archer As round 1 kicks off, a pairing that nobody expected was put into the fray. No commonalities, no comparable traits, not even the same species, the adorable and electrifying pikachu faces off against the stoic alcoholic super spy, Mallory Archer.  The voting for this contest opened a measly 2 hours ago, and for the entirety of the contest thus far, they have been pretty even in votes.  Pikachu has taken on an early lead however, with 12 votes against Mallory Archer's 9 votes. It is still extremely early, and I'm interested to see if pikachu

WWE TLC 2016 Review

So here are my thoughts for WWE TLC 2016: The Wyatt Family (Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt w/ Luke Harper) VS Heath Slater & Rhyno (c) for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships This match was pretty short and all-in-all very one-sided.  It went pretty much how I expected it to go.  Harper gave assistance and interference here and there, and as The Wyatt Family wore down the tag team champions, they were able to catch Rhyno off guard by distracting him with Bray Wyatt's Spider Stance, allowing Orton to connect with the RKO. Winners: The Wyatt Family Match Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars Nikki Bella VS Carmella - No Disqualification Match This match was pretty physical, and one of the more hard Women's matches i've seen in a while.  However, it was still pretty short and went directly the way everyone thought it would.  John Cena has an influence on the WWE even when he's not here... Also Carmella drops the fact that Natalya attacked Nikki Bella

What I Think About Crash Bandicoot's Return

So I may be a little late to the party considering that the return of Crash Bandicoot was announced at E3 this year, but as this blog is appropriately named the Bandicoot Banter, and as an avid Crash Bandicoot lover since the day I was born,  I thought I would finally weigh in on my feelings about the Skylanders Game, the Remasters, and the media time that Crash has gotten as of late. Skylanders Imaginators - Crash Bandicoot Edition Crash Bandicoot as a playable character in   Skylanders Imaginators In the very beginning, when Crash Bandicoot's revival was nothing more than a fantasy in the land of forgotten and thrown away video game franchises, a common phrase was "never in Skylanders"  the video game community had made it very clear that if Crash Bandicoot were to ever return, they didn't want it to be through Skylanders.  However, that is exactly what happened, and people were definitely torn.  When it was announced that Crash Bandicoot was going to be
