Good stuff. I was just about to host you all prior to cutting, but GG on the PB all the same.

A-Z 1CC continues with Who Shot Johnny Rock? I love the camp and cheese in this game, and I've enjoyed laserdisc games quite a bit over the last few years, so I was due for a good time. Props to @sharfers.beef.fish for the strats and encouragement.

Almost lost a couple of grinds that way. It's incredibly frustrating, but yeah, there are absolutely turds out there, unfortunately.
At least once a month, it feels like I have to declare "That's it. Steamed Hams has officially peaked."
I feel like this is a challenge for the algorithm to bless me once again.

Just play them all instead. You're bound to find it by process of elimination that way.
It's the best season thus far IMO. He really nailed it with that one.
It was very much worth learning. The platforming is the only real complaint that I have, which especially goes for the last segment before the final boss. That could've been cleaned up a bit.
But, a clear is a clear.
I make a mean French Toast, NGL.
A-Z 1CC continues with Valkyrie no Densetsu! This was my third time trying to grind this game in the last 7-8 years, and I'm happy it stuck. Spending 3 streams on practice paid off after getting it within one stream. It's a wonderful game that I hope everyone experiences.

A-Z 1CC: Valkyrie no Densetsu 1CC Attempts

Found it! It was called Slamfest '95. In addition to the clique tag match, you also had a strong Hart family tag match, and a pretty good (especially for both guys) Diesel vs. Luger match from Raw for the IC Title. It's gotta be up there.
I see the "how I arrived at Bluesky" prompt is making its rounds again.
I regret to inform you my method of arrival remains unchanged from 2024:
The Canadian Stampede tape is probably the obvious exception, because that show is too good.
I'll have to dig up some reviews of them, but putting together something like a tier list shouldn't be too hard. '95 until the Attitude Era was the worst era of Coliseum for sure, so that's an instant write-off. A lot of them were composed of Raw matches and most or all of an IYH PPV. Not great.
Oh hey, even more reasons to hate him. Neat.
Wrestlefest '94 is a strong candidate is well. Harts vs. Steiners is in the running for the best WWF tag match of all time.
