Jason's Gallery - Delilah and Pooch Triple Feature!

Hey there Toonsters,

Although Halloween is long over and Thanksgiving is here, it is never too late to post some of my latest artwork here. And since I am still intrigued in the universe of one Sensory VA Audios, I will present to you more fanart from one of Sensory's ASMR stories, Delilah and Pooch. Shall we begin?!

Delilah: The Southern Belle Werewolf!

Name: Delilah McNamara

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Height: Human: 5'3"; Werewolf: 8'0"

Race: Human/Newly Formed Werewolf

Hair Color: Red (Human Form); Red Fur (Werewolf Form)

Eye Color: Light Blue (in both her human and wolf forms)

Personality: Sweet, kind, gentle, feisty, protective

Likes: Cooking, Animals (especially her pet cat, Barron), sweets, her farm (the only memory of her family left)

Dislikes: Slacking, trespassers, heights

Location: Tumric, Rockwell

---

Living on her family farm in the farming village of Tumric, in the country of Rockwell, Delilah McNamara lived a solitary life alone after the tragic loss of her family 5 years prior, especially her two brothers, who died in the border war in neighboring Fargus, and her parents followed soon after, believing they were still alive in Fargus. Through hard  labor and resilience in her farm work, along with a few scuffles in the tavern at the town of Gramhurg, Delilah has a constellation of scars all over her body. Her only comfort in her loneliness is her beloved pet cat, Barron. 

Life was perfectly normal for Delilah, until one night, she stumbled across a strange, furry werewolf in her bedroom. Despite her initial fears, Delilah nursed the werewolf back to health and gave him a place to stay. The werewolf, who she affectionately nicknamed "Pooch", ended up Delilah's trusty farm hand, which blossomed into a romance which transcends their respective species. From dealing with werewolf hunters that once kidnapped Delilah, to overcoming Pooch's insecurities in controlling his lycanthropy in public, they deal with all the struggles in and outside the farm, especially when her lover is a werewolf. 

However, no struggle was more painful than the arrival of the mysterious Ezekiel Duke. Despite his initial etiquette and debonair towards her earlier in Gramhurg, Ezekiel revealed his true nature that night in the farm, revealing to be a werewolf and the Alpha of his pack. Ezekiel was seeking out his former Beta, Pooch for abandoning his pack because of his cruelty and mistreatment towards innocents, human and beast folk alike. To seek his revenge and punish Pooch emotionally, Ezekiel bit Delilah, cursing her with lycanthropy, tainting her otherwise kind and gentle demeanor with anger and feral-like instincts.

Despite her chance, her love towards Pooch remains, as she slowly learns to control her wolf form, trying to regain some semblance of normalcy without endangering her friends Hugo and Travis and not be ostracized by the whole village, who would see as nothing but a wild animal, while seeking retribution against the one who made her and Pooch suffer, Ezekiel Duke. But with that bite mark between her left shoulder and collarbone to go along with her other scars, the presence of Ezekiel will continue to haunt her, even in her nightmares. But as long she has Pooch on her side, if she can overcome her hardships after her family's passing, she can overcome her werewolf curse, as well, proving that, even with lycanthropy, Delilah will continue being resilient and kind, no matter what...

Ezekiel Duke: The Ruthless Alpha!

Name: Ezekiel Duke

Gender: Male

Age: 30

Height: 6'3" (190.5 cm) (Human Form); 10'0" (Werewolf Form)

Race: Human/Werewolf

Hair: Brown (Human Form); Black Fur (Werewolf Form)

Dislikes: Disobedience, defiance, angry mobs, his former Beta, Pooch

Location: Somewhere in Rockwell (mostly in the woods)

---

Not much about his origin, but his heart is as black as the fur in his wolf form. Ezekiel is the Alpha of his wolf pack within the woods, but dwelling in the shadows within all of Rockwell itself, hunting any prey he sees fit to satisfy his lust for power and control. When Pooch was in his pack, Ezekiel treated him (them) as his equal, from helping him (them) control his (their) wolf form to hunting together, especially hunting beast folk. But, when Pooch learned of Ezekiel's treachery of shipping away beast folk to the King of Rockwell in the capital of Montiqu and learned of his aggressive and cruel leadership, especially indiscriminately attacking humans and beast folk alike, he (they) decided to free the beast folk, which angered Ezekiel. Although an Alpha, Ezekiel has no respect for his pack (except for his loyal Omegas). He only cares for power and his loyalty towards the King of Rockwell. Despite holding his (their) own against him, Pooch was no match for Ezekiel, as the good-hearted werewolf fled from him and his pack.

A few months later, Ezekiel heads to Gramhurg, the busiest town in the village of Tumric, Rockwell, where he meets the lovely Southern Belle farmer, Delilah McNamara. At first, he was friendly and suave towards the Southern Belle, claiming he was just passing by.  So friendly, she even invited him to visit her farm. However, by nightfall, at Delilah's farm, he has shown her not just his true form, but his true character's well. Learning firsthand his former Beta has been living with Delilah since escaping his pack, Ezekiel confronts Pooch, as he holds Delilah hostage. To inflict pain towards Pooch for leaving his pack and freeing the beast folk, Ezekiel bites Delilah, and being an Alpha, passes on his lycanthropy, turning the lovely, kind Southern Belle into a werewolf against her will. And unlike most werewolves, when he shifts back to his human form, his clothes magically form back with him, as if they were enchanted.

Although he has done his damage towards his former Beta, no telling what Ezekiel will do next to both Pooch and especially Delilah, who is now dealing with the curse he placed upon her, fearing rejection and being hunted by all of Tumric while Ezekiel gets away without any ramifications, continuing doing the king's dirty work with such feral aggression towards humans and beast folk alike. Delilah will see him everywhere...even in her nightmares...

Disclaimer: This next fanart is my visual representation of the listener character of this story. The audience can envision the listener character in any shape or form, no matter what gender or physical appearance. Here is my visual interpretation of the listener character, "Pooch".

Pooch: The Farmhand Werewolf!

Name: Brantley Montgomery

Nickname: Pooch

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Race: Werewolf

Current Location: Delilah's farm in Tumric, Rockwell

Personally: Kind, gentle, brave, hardworking, struggling (especially with his lycanthropy), sometimes timid and nervous, protective, fearless

Likes: Hunting, fishing, farm work, memories of his sister Elowyn, loving Delilah

Dislikes: Loud noises, losing control of his lycanthropy in public, slavery (especially imprisoned beast folk), Ezekiel Duke

Love Language: Flirting, teasing (sometimes when half-shifted), kissing, physical touch, emotional support, howling (either half-shifted or in full wolf form)

Human Form: Brantley is around 6'0", with a slim, yet muscular physique with a fair complexion. His hair is brown, with a few dozen bangs in front of his brow and it's slightly long but tied in the back by a hair tie; his eyes are colored hazel with hints of amber. He has a bite mark, located on his between his right shoulder and right arm, while claw marks are located on his back. He normally wears a white tank top, a blue plaid shirt which is mostly unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up, a pair of blue jeans, a belt and brown boots. But when he works at the farm, he is shirtless, but wears gray overalls and sometimes work gloves.

Werewolf Form: In his wolf form, he stands at 8'0", balancing both speed and power with his huge slightly, muscular build. His fur is silver gray all around, with his bite mark and claw marks remained but with a different shade of color as he shifts. He has a slightly large, bushy tail. His eyes become flashing amber. And just like all werewolves, his sharp teeth and claws enables him to hunt or protect himself or those he cares about.

---

Backstory:

Brantley has always been a survivor. His parents died when he was very young, leaving him to carry on the heavy chores and lots of care around Tumric, especially taking care of his younger sister, Elowyn, who was as beautiful as sunflowers, with her short chestnut hair and blue eyes that shine like a sunlit steam. Brantley and Elowyn were inseparable, their bond was a strong as any sibling relationship in history. They hunt together, they fish together, they play games together, always helping out one another, whether it was good or bad, their bond was unbreakable.

However, on one dark night, in the woods, as Brantley was hunting for some more food, he was attacked by a huge, black-furred werewolf. The creature was going for the neck, but Brantley held his ground, as he was trying his best to fend himself. And in the struggle, he got bit on his upper right arm and large scratches on his back. As the beast was continuing his rampage, Brantley, in an act of desperation, took out his knife and slashed the wolf on its chest. Afterwards, it ran off back into the woods, and Brantley returned home, mortally wounded as he collapses in front of his sister at his doorstep. 

Not long after that, Elowyn nursed his big brother back to health. 

To his sister's relief, he was going to pull through. However, unknown to Brantley, new instincts begin to manifest inside of him after the wolf attack. His overall strength and other senses were heightened and increased, making his chores and his hunting a little bit easy. Although it felt like everything was back to normal, for Brantley, for the lycanthropy not only increased his senses, but also inhibits bursts of rage and anger, almost in a feral kind of way. So much so, during one of those nights, he lashed out on Elowyn, wanting to be alone, which he later regret it, knowing that he couldn't control the inevitable fate that awaits him.

One, fateful night, the moment that feared him came to fruition. Brantley dropped down to his knees, whencing in pain, as his body was changing drastically, when his bones shifted and his muscles grow, causing his clothes to rip from the seams revealing the silver gray fur emerging from his flesh, his human features shifted into a large wolf snout and his wolf ears grew and his large tail emerges from his backside, his brown eyes start glowing with a ethereal glow of amber, and finally, his fangs and claws grew as sharp as knives. Brantley has become a werewolf. Void of human thought and emotions, and in a feral rage, he ravages his bedroom, shredding everything around him like they were paper, even shattering the mirror. Elowyn, hearing the commotion, headed to her brother's room, and to her horror, sees the werewolf instead of her big brother. Not knowing it was his sister, the feral Brantley chases after his sister all over the house, thrashing everything in his path, just to catch his wannabe prey. As as the wolf caught his prey, just as was going for the kill, as any wolf would do, he stops. By looking at his sister's face, the creature starts to remember his human memories, and he then quickly relents as he stares at his sister. The troubled Elowyn was virtually shaken at the werewolf's presence until she sees the large bite mark on his arm, realizing that this creature is her brother. Through her kindness, she calmed her feral brother down until he reverted back to his human form. Despite this ordeal, Brantley and Elowyn vow to keep his curse a secret, not wanting to cause fear and panic in all of Tumric. With this problem behind them, the siblings continued their lives as nothing happened. Things were slowly going back to normal...or so he thought.

As he returned from his hunt in the woods, his home was burned down. As he came closer, to his horror, Elowyn was killed while the house burned to the ground. As he looked around what happened, he discovered an arrow that was dropped. That's when he learned that it was caused by the werewolf hunters, who believed in the rumors about a werewolf roaming through the woods, and headed to the house, demanding Elowyn where was the werewolf was. Knowing that her brother was a werewolf, she told them that there is no werewolf here and demanded them to leave. The werewolf hunters, who are not exactly the friendly types, took no for an answer, and broke in the house. Willing to defend her brother, Elowyn stood her ground, and in the ensuing struggle, one of the hunters dropped the torch and started the fire that burned down the house, causing the hunters to run off, leaving Elowyn to die. Sensing that the hunters are not far away, judging from the scent from the arrow, Brantley, in a blind, feral rage, shifted to his wolf form, and pursued his sister's killers and killed them without mercy. Afterwards, feeling alone, in what's left of his home, still in his wolf form, he buried Elowyn's body into the ground and places a makeshift cross on her grave, as he howled in mourning for the only family he had left.

All alone, Brantley traveled into the woods, so he can hide from more werewolf hunters. Exhausted from the long travels, he collapsed to the ground. And that's where he meets Ezekiel Duke. Ezekiel, the Alpha of his wolf pack in all of Rockwell, offered Brantley to join his pack, start living with a new family, without fear from being hunted. With no other option, Brantley accepted Ezekiel's offer and joined his pack.

Under Ezekiel's guidance, Brantley manages to control his wolf form, along with the shifting, going from human to werewolf or half-shifted without the use of the full moon and maintain human sentience in his wolf form. Together, Ezekiel and Brantley begin to hunt like true werewolves, whether for food or hunting rogue creatures. Brantley became so well-versed in his wolf form, he quickly became Ezekiel's second-in-command, or his Beta. Brantley has gained respect to Ezekiel's pack. With his new acceptance of his wolf form, and being in a new family, he feels empty inside, knowing that he forever left his human past behind. All that changed when he meets a young, female werewolf in the pack, her name was Amaris, or Mari for short, as her packmates call her. As Amaris shifts to her human form, she has a striking resemblance to his sister, Elowyn, right down to her familiar chestnut colored hair and light blue eyes. As Ezekiel was tough on him. especially being the Beta to Ezekiel's Alpha, Amaris, despite her lycan nature, was kind and gentle, as she bonded with Brantley, and for the first time since becoming a werewolf, he found someone who was truly family. Although not by blood, Brantley found a new sister in Amaris, as their bond grew, just like he had when he was human and with Elowyn.

However, their happiness was short lived. One night, during her trek in the woods, Amaris discovered a long line of cages, holding beast folk, guarded by soldiers from Rockwell's capital, Montiqu, doing the bidding of the King of Rockwell. And to Amaris' shock, she discovered that one of those soldiers was her Alpha, Ezekiel, who was giving orders to the other soldiers. That's when she learned that Ezekiel wasn't so loyal to his own packmates, only to the King of Rockwell and his tyrannical rule to oppress everyone, human and beast folk alike.

Amaris explained this to Brantley about Ezekiel's treachery. He didn't believe her at first, thinking that she is speaking nonsense, as he continues being loyal to Ezekiel. To prove her story, Amaris took Brantley to the soldiers' camp and see for himself what she was talking about. That's when Brantley realized that these "rogue creatures" he and Ezekiel were hunting were beast folk, some of them being young and innocent, and knowing firsthand that Ezekiel is not as loyal and kind as he said he was.

With no hesitation, as the soldiers sleep, Brantley and Amaris freed the captured beast folk and helped them escaped. And just as they were going to head back to their domain, they were stopped by Ezekiel, who has saw everything from a distance. And this is where Ezekiel revealed his true motives to Brantley, for it he was the black-furred werewolf who cursed him while he attacked him long ago. Thinking that by biting him, Ezekiel would have another werewolf in his pack to do his bidding, but felt disappointed that Brantley's human soul, combined with Amaris' influence, is what prevented him from fully embracing his inner-wolf, wishing he would've died in the attack, just as he killed his previous Beta who defied him a long time ago. For Ezekiel, ruling his pack isn't about respect for his packmates, it was all about power, keeping everyone in the pack in line, and will kill off whoever defies him. This all culminated with both the Alpha and his soon to be former Beta fighting each other, as their wolf forms slashed and bite each other like true wild animals. Brantley held his own, but was no match for Ezekiel's whose werewolf form was powerful being the Alpha of the pack. Just as Ezekiel was about to kill him, Amaris stepped in and fought against her former Alpha, giving Brantley enough time to escape him and his pack. Brantley ran off into the deepest part of the woods, and didn't look back.

As he was running in the woods, running from Ezekiel, he was seen by a few hunters, who are hunting for any wild animal that sees fit, even werewolves. Without a train of thought, one of the hunters fired an arrow at the fleeing wolf and wounded him in the right arm. Despite being mortally wounded, Brantley kept on moving until he got out of the woods and discovered a farm in Tumric, which reminded him of his home before it was burned away. Not wanting to cause any noises, he quietly headed for the farm, and opened a nearby unlocked door, entered the house and collapsed inside the bedroom. And this is where he met Delilah McNamara, the owner of her family farm, who have nursed him back to health and became her farmhand, giving him the affectionate nickname, "Pooch", and the rest was history. Since then, Brantley, now going by Pooch, lived happily on Delilah's farm, helping out with the chores, running errands in Gramhurg, and spending much time together, as their relationship blossom into a romance that transcends their respective species. Despite his reprieve, in the back of his mind, in his heart, Ezekiel won't be far behind, knowing that his vengeance will be long and painful, as a sign of things to come. For now, as long as he with his Southern Belle mate, he is home...

YouTube - From "Broadcast Yourself" to "Broadcast Your Age Verification"!

I like to take a moment to talk about YouTube.

Once upon a time, around 2005, YouTube use to be THE premier place to post our videos, whether through our camcorders or making videos through our movie making programs. No matter what videos we post, whether expressing our fandom towards video games, anime, classic cartoons or comics, or trying to speak your mind against all forms of oppression that would otherwise corrupt our way of life. Their slogan back then was "Broadcast Yourself", which means you can post whatever video we want, without any consequences.

Unfortunately, by 2011, everything changed, when they were sued by Viacom for alleged copyright infringement. Although YouTube won the case, the damage was done.

Whenever we try to post some videos, expressing our fandom on the mediums I have mentions, along with using music for that video, the videos get flagged for a copyright claim by the owners of their material. YouTube since then have be criticized for changing the format, making things hard for content creators to post their videos, such as Content ID, false copyright claims, blocking videos internationally and so forth. Even though the videos we made were under Fair Use, the corporations who own their material just don't care, thinking Fair Use is illegal. My YouTube channel use to have lots of videos. But because of what has happened, I have none, cause I removed them. I have since been saving videos from other content creators to watch.

And now, we face a new problem, as of right now, YouTube, particularly Google, wants to verify our age through IDs, credit cards and facial scans, just to prove that we are not minors. I am not a minor! I am 42 years old!

Because of these rules, along with AI dictating YouTube's algorithm, some of the content creators got their videos blocked, especially voice actress V-tuber, Trina Deuhart aka Admiral Trina. And they are pulling this stunt on her, imagine they are doing the same thing to other content creators, especially those in the world ASMR stories like Sensory VA Audios, which I have since grown accustomed to. 

Bottom line, if Viacom didn't meddle in YouTube's affairs, I would still have all my videos posted on my channel. If I post a video on my channel again, it would be my last. Believe me, it happened before when I once had my first YouTube channel long ago. 

I would rather watch an old episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe than give away my privacy to YouTube's AI system. But alas, we fight on...

If you want to fight this, go to the link below. It is time we take it to YouTube and their strict new policies. Until next time, resist modern attitudes and embrace nostalgia...and freedom of expression! 

Saraba da! (Farewell)...now!

So It Goes - RIP Tomonobu Itagaki

Today we say goodbye to a pioneer, an enigma among others. I am, of course, referring to the one of the most recognizable names in all of gaming, the one, the only, Tomonobu Itagaki.

Born on April 1st, 1967, Itagaki was destined for greatness, especially in the world of gaming. After graduating from Waseda University, he joined the famed video game company Tecmo in 1992 as a graphics designer for certain SNES/Super Famicom games, such as Captain Tsubasa 4 and Tecmo Super Bowl. His most well-known accomplishment was the creation of the very fighting game series that brought Tecmo out of its financial rot, Dead or Alive, starting with its first game in 1996, and the rest was history, when he founded Tecmo's gaming division, Tecmo Creative #3, better known by its well-known name, Team Ninja.

Dead or Alive became one of the most gaming franchises of all time under Itagaki's leadership, focus solely on its female cast, especially Itagaki's most favorite character, the runaway shinobi of the Mugen Tenshin clan, Kasumi. Not only with the main gaming series, but also its spin-off, Dead or Alive Xtreme, which focuses on the girls spending 2 weeks on Zack Island for a vacation, in their exotic swimsuits. Itagaki not only created DOA, but he also revived the legendary classic gaming series, Ninja Gaiden, for a new generation, bringing the adventures of the Dragon Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, to a whole new light.

Although highly successful, but like the old saying goes, "Success can really go to your head". Itagaki, known for having long hair and wearing sunglasses in public, is often known for being a bit outspoken and having somewhat of an ego, especially when it comes to games like Dead or Alive. Let's just say, Itagaki wasn't the only one with such bravado. That's what some people say about Koji Igarashi or IGA for short, when he was in charge of making some Castlevania games like Lament of Innocence or Aria of Sorrow, but that's just me. And because that, along with multiple lawsuits among other things, he left Tecmo on June 2, 2008, and formed his own gaming company, Valhalla Games Studios in 2010, creating the action-adventure game, Devil's Third, and then later in January 2021, he created his namesake studio, Itagaki Games.

Unfortunately, even after wanted to create more games, physically and emotionally, Itagaki couldn't commit to what he wanted to do. And on October of 2025, at the age of 58, Tomonobu Itagaki passed away. At first, I thought his death was a rumor, thinking he lost his drive to create more games. But, his death was confirmed by his family on his Facebook page, along with a farewell message thanking the fans for his journey and his apologies for not making a new game. His death was a huge shock to the gaming community, especially those who are fans of both Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, me included. So, in closing I will say this:

Tomonobu-san, thank you for all the memories, especially with Dead or Alive. Through Kasumi, our favorite character, I am forever linked to you. And if I ever do a DOA game, especially your cancelled project, Code Chronos, I will do it in memory of you. Wherever you are now, you are no longer suffering. Godspeed, good sir. Be at peace, father of Kasumi.

"I'm sorry, Kasumi", as Ryo Sanada consoles the runaway shinobi, as she sobs for the very man who brought her to life, with cherry blossoms flowing around them, thinking about the legacy Tomonobu Itagaki has left behind. Godspeed, Tomonobu-san.

So it goes. - そういうものだ。

The Mega SD: Returning to the Glory Days of the Sega CD!

 

Behold! The Mega SD cart, in all of its nostalgic gaming glory!

For so long, gaming, just like anime, has been in my blood. And the games from the Sega consoles were no different, especially systems like the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Aside from the Genesis, the one other console I like to play the most was its add-on, the Sega CD. Although my time playing that console was short, I had a big time blast, even with some of the games I got. Unfortunately, because of my inexperience with CD based games at the time, plus the software within the Sega CD was wearing thin, resulting in system breakdowns, I was without the Sega CD, preventing me from getting more games I like to play. And for years, even with the other CD/DVD/Blu-Ray based gaming consoles, and learning to take better care with the games and the systems, I long for the day I want to own a Sega CD and play its games once more. However, the Sega CD add-ons, in all forms, especially the Sega CDX, were so used, that is virtually impossible to get it on online stores, not even Amazon and Ebay. And I thought I would continue down this road forever. All that changed around 2019, when a Spanish engineering company known as TerraOnion, known for creating optical disc emulators (ODEs) that allow users to play games from storage devices like SD cards or USB drives on original hardware, such as the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, created the very flash cart that changed the face of retro gaming forever, the Mega SD.

Released around 2019, The MegaSD cart was another line of flash cart emulators created by TerraOnion. Compared to the Mega Everdrive Pro, this cart is a retro gamer's dream come true, especially when it comes to playing your favorite Sega games on your console, whether being the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in their three versions or newer retro gaming systems compatible to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive itself. This drive requires a MicroSD card up to 400GB, formatted with FAT32 or ExFAT, to save your games. While it can play Sega Master System and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games, but real story of this cart is its driving force to own this cart, playing games from your Sega CD/Mega CD. The Mega SD cart contains the very same FPGA hardware that powers the Sega CD console itself, that enables you to play the Sega CD games, without the use of the console itself. Loading times, though shortened, are the thing of the past. That, and not worrying about scratched discs that can prevent the game from working.

Another feature in this cart, is you can also played modded and hacked games, especially some Genesis/Mega Drive games with CD based music, fixed gameplay and balanced difficulties, and/or playing patched versions of imported games with English translations like Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, for instance.

However, with all its positives, there are some drawbacks, but most of them are minor. When you play your Sega Master System games, you can't pause them with a regular controller. Just like with the Master System itself and with the Sega Genesis Power Base Converter, you have to pause the game by pushing a button on your console, and the Mega SD cart has a button to pause the Master System games. And it doesn't stop with this, the Mega SD cart can also play Sega 32X games, as well, but it will only work if you have a 32X plug-in attached to your Genesis/Mega Drive. As for playing them on the Genesis handheld, the Nomad, you can play it, but you got to mod your Nomad to play it. Good luck with that.

In short, I will leave you with the pros and cons of this wondrous flash cart, along with its final grade:

Pros

- Plays Sega Master System, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega 32X and most importantly, Sega CD/Mega CD games.

- Unlimited Battery Backup for your Sega CD games (as long as you have a MicroSD card)

- Plays Modded, Translated or Hacked roms (provided you use programs to change a copy of the rom into the patched version of it)

- Plays Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games with CD based Audio

- Saved States

Cons

- Playing 32X games on the cart requires the 32X plugin itself

- The cart won't play Sega CD games if your Genesis console is hooked up to a Sega CD add-on (You must unhook the add-on for the cart to work properly).

- Not able to pause your Master System games on your controller (only the button on the cart can pause them)

- Playing the cart on a modded Sega Nomad handheld, especially with the Sega CD games

Final Score: 8 out of 10 (Despite a few hiccups, the Mega SD cart is a must have for retro gamers, especially die-hard fans of the Sega CD itself)

If you haven't got the cart, it is not too late to buy one at online stores like Stone Age Gamer. I know you will not regret it. Until next time, resist modern attitudes, embrace the past, create a better future and stay frosty, my friends.

Jason's Gallery - Delilah and Pooch: Ezekiel's Curse

Here is another fanart featuring characters from the "Delilah and Pooch" ASMR series by Sensory VA Audios. Compared to the last one, this one is a bit darker, since it takes place after Delilah's life changing experience, being turned into a unwilling werewolf, by an Alpha with a vendetta against her lover, who is revealed to be this Alpha's former Beta, who left the pack, and with very good reasons.

All alone in a dark, full moon night, Delilah McNamara contemplates on her current dilemma, living the rest of her days as a werewolf, a curse placed upon her by Ezekiel Duke, a ruthless Alpha from his wolf pack, who bit Delilah, as an act of revenge against her lover, Pooch, a Beta who rebelled against him for his ruthless leader and his cruelty towards humans and beast folk alike, leaving the pack in the process along with his fellow pack mates. His attack on Delilah is his way of striking Pooch, right through the heart, by hurting the people he cares about. As Delilah gazes on the large bite mark Ezekiel has given her, she thinks about her future, and the consequences of being a werewolf in an otherwise peaceful village like Tumric, as she confides in Pooch for some comfort.

 

Delilah: "I'm scared, Pooch. I don't know what to do.  Ever since Ezekiel passed this curse on me, I have spent some sleepless nights, thinking about the consequences of being a werewolf. I'm afraid that Travis and Hugo would disown me, see me as a monster, and all of Tumric would hunt me down like a wild animal, either kill me or serve me as an attraction for the King of Rockwell's amusement, locked in cages with the other beast folk, and possibly your fellow wolves who rebelled against Ezekiel, following your lead. I don't want to be viewed as...(sighs) as a monster. I will lose everything if Ezekiel has his way with me and the townsfolk. I will lose my farm, my friends, my family's memories, everything. As he gets way scot-free, I would be labeled a freakshow, a sideshow attraction, a wild animal, locked away for a long time. I wish Ezekiel never came to my life. It's my fault I let him into our lives, just to get back at you, through me. I am so sorry, Pooch. Please, forgive me."

To my friend and fellow storyteller, Sensory VA Audios

Jason's Gallery - Delilah: The Lovely Southern Belle

 

Delilah McNamara: the lovely Southern Belle farmer of Tumric, Rockwell. Strong, confident, kind, and feisty to the last!

From a quiet farm, near the village of Tumric, Rockwell, is this lovely Southern Belle farm girl, Delilah McNamara. Ever since the passing of her family, especially her two brothers, who died in a war near Fargas, Delilah, by her own lonesome, tend to her family's farm, raising the animals and doing heavy duty chores on the way, leaving her with a few dozen scars or two. Her only sense of comfort was her lovely pet cat, Barron, who always brings a smile to her face, whenever she feels down a lonely. However, on one fateful night, Delilah's life changed forever, when she stumbled across a werewolf, mortally wounded, in her room. Rather than being afraid, she took comfort into the creature and nursed it back to health.

Since then, she and the werewolf, who she affectionately nicknamed "Pooch", worked at the farm together, eventually growing romantically close. But her life, and her story, is just the beginning.

Evan, the disgraced son of Sigurd, having his way with Sunshine's girlfriend, Mari, who feels helpless at his mercy, as he prepares to use her to emotionally hurt his rival he deems a "False Alpha", even going so far in turning her into a werewolf through force lycanthropy transmission through his bite!

In the outskirts of the forest, far away from all seeing eyes, human and werewolf alike, Evan, the disgraced son of the old Alpha, Sigurd, has kidnapped and holds hostage the beloved childhood sweetheart of Sunshine, Mari. Mari, an aspiring writer in monster fantasy, has gotten more what she has bargained for, as she was introduced to werewolf lore by Sunshine, she becomes an unwilling pawn of one story that she didn't dream of.

Evan, who sees Sunshine as a "False Alpha", despite his small stature compared to the normally strong and huge Alphas, relies on treachery and underhanded tactics to achieve his goal in become an Alpha himself, even if it means killing potential Alpha candidates like Sunshine, and even the rumored death of Eric Anders, the Alpha before Sunshine.

As he has the lovely red-headed feisty writer in his clutches, Evan, through his sadistic and lustful mind, has sinister plans in store for Sunshine, especially hurting him through his heart, through his beloved mate, even going so far in planning to bite her, transmitting his lycanthropy, turning her into a werewolf against her will. 

Find her, Sunshine! The fate of Mari is in your furry shoulders!

This fanart is a inspired by fan speculation, stemming from the end of episode 4 of "Sunshine in the Moonlight", where Evan kidnapped Mari.

If you want to know more, visit Shezu Rivera's YouTube channel, and watch the first 4 episodes of this ASMR series. It's going to be awhile until Shezu recovers and episode 5 is posted, confirming Mari's true fate. Stay tuned. This one, if and when it comes out, will be a doozy.

Jasons' Gallery - Zuko and Mai: Redeemed Guidance

 

Zuko, the crown prince of the Fire Nation, lending a helping hand to Mai Valentine, the Harpie Queen of Duel Monsters, who has been a victim of manipulation and false promises.

Mai Valentine, the lovely Harpie Queen of Duel Monsters, has a tough and struggling life. Ever since her time being manipulated by Dartz for false promises of power and ambition, she's been searching for herself, trying to get her life back on track, not only trying to better herself in Duel Monsters, but also make amends to the very friends she betrayed under Dartz's control, especially Joey Wheeler.

Just as she felt lost, she stumbled across another stranger, whose path is almost as similar to hers. His name is Zuko, the crown prince of the Fire Nation. His tale follows her own. The son of Fire Lord Ozai, Zuko was banished by his own father for speaking in turn during a war meeting (but not before giving him his scar from an Agni Kai he refused to fight in). Thinking that by capturing the Avatar, he would regain his honor. However, throughout his journey, he was joined by his uncle, Iroh, one of the fierce generals of the Fire Nation. Losing his son, Lu Ten, during the fail siege of Ba Sing Se, Iroh sees Zuko like a son to him, as he guided him down the right path. Despite his setbacks, including betraying Iroh, Zuko eventually embraced his uncle's teachings and denounced everything his father represents and joined the Avatar in saving the world from the Fire Nation itself. Zuko learned that honor is earned, never given. With this new motivation, Zuko went from a obsessed hot-headed prince into a humble, courageous and benevolent hero.

With all the wisdom from his experience, Zuko can be a great mentor to those whose tale is similar to his, and Mai Valentine is no different. Perhaps one day, Mai will truly realize that a true duelist is stronger with friends, not without, and valuing friendship is the greatest prize than all the money and trophies combined.

Keep on rollin', our Harpie Queen!

KNEEL (and Pray) BEFORE ZOD!! - RIP Terence Stamp

This just in.

Renowned British actor Terence Stamp has died on August 17th, 2025. He was 87 years old.

A character actor in his own right, Stamp played many roles, such as Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, John Tunstall from Young Guns, Ramsley from The Haunted Mansion, and most importantly, he is more famous for playing the role of General Zod from both Superman: The Movie and Superman II (both the original theatrical version and the Richard Donner Cut), making the phrase, "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!", one of most popular phrases in pop culture history.

I am may have not seen a lot of movies of him, but his role as Zod is the one I remember the most, because of his commanding presence, with every sense of the word. On behalf of the planet Houston, I mean, planet Earth, Godspeed to you, our esteemed general. Your presence, even when playing a villain, will live on forever.

And now, KNEEL (and pray) BEFORE ZOD!!

The End of Hulkamania - RIP Hulk Hogan

First of all, I like to thank Stefan for posting the memoriam on both Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Ozzy Osbourne. Their passing were quick and sudden, since they were icons in their own right, with Malcolm being best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, and Ozzy, being one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal rock, not just being the front man of Black Sabbath, but also in his own solo career. Iron Man, Crazy Train and No More Tears are my go-to Ozzy tunes. That being said, no death is that heartbreaking than that of arguably the greatest professional wrestler in any generation, and that is Hulk Hogan.

Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan was known for not only his professional wrestling career, but also changing forever the entertainment portion of the sport itself. His talent expands beyond wrestling, for he was one of the first wrestlers to transcends into Hollywood before the likes of The Rock and John Cena, starting all the way back as Thunderlips in Rocky III in 1982, among other things.

As far as being a wrestler goes, the Hulkster was known for being a larger than life character. A strong, confident, and heroic character, known for encouraging his legions of little Hulksters to train hard, take your vitamins, and saying your prayers. In the ring, no matter how much the heel wants to end him and Hulkamania, the Hulkster always gets his second wind, when he no sells a finishing move and Hulks-up, feeding off the power of every, single Hulkamanic, resulting a move set now referred to as the 5 Moves of Doom, or in Hogan's case, multiple punches, the big boot and lowering the boom, so to speak, with the Atomic Leg Drop, and that's all she wrote. Hogan's persona in the ring inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves.

However, the price of fame, always has its drawbacks. Outside the ring, Hogan isn't exactly the same heroic character he portrayed in real life. The Hulkster has a laundry list of controversy, but I won't mentioned them here, so you have to look up his Wikipedia page for more info. Anyway, his ego in real life is as big as the Hoover Dam, especially when all the choices he made, not just in wrestling, but in real life, too, so I will leave it at that. Hogan, like some celebrities and some famous people, is the definition to the phrase, "Never meet your heroes". Not every famous person is noble and kind as their fictional counterparts.

The last time Hogan appeared in a wrestling show was on RAW when it premiered on Netflix, which he was heavily booed and jeered, all because of his controversial choices, among other things. That, and his new wrestling promotion failed miserably. 

With all that being said, do I hate Hulk Hogan, you ask? No, I feel sorry for the guy, I really do. With all the success he made as a wrestler, he could've done more for the wrestling business, but in a more positive light, putting his ego aside and helping out the less fortunate, just like his time when Hulkamania and the Rock 'n Roll Connection were a thing.

So, let me close this by saying this, let us not remember Hulk Hogan for his questionable actions outside the ring. Let's us remember him for who he was in the wrestling business, a larger than life character who stood up for what's right, encouraging others to be their best versions of themselves, and rising up to the occasion against whoever tried to destroy Hulkamania.

Wherever he is now in the afterlife, at least he ain't suffering no more. Godspeed, Hulkster. Although I will never meet you (and give you a piece of my mind, just to set you straight), but for the time you were around wrestling, if it weren't for you, there would be no profession wrestling. Thanks for the memories.

Be a peace, brother.

Legends..Gone, but Never Forgotten! (Final Post!!)

I wasn't supposed to post anymore on this blog, but I Needed to make this. And..it's not good news, sadly. Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Ozzy Osborne had recently passed away 

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, a Sitcom Icon, was best known as Theo Huxstable on The Cosby Show and Malcolm Mcgee on Malcolm and Eddie. He also did guest rolls on other Sitcoms, such asThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. His passing came as a surprise, and even a shock, for us Retro Sitcom Fans. He was 54.

Ozzy Osborne, as everyone knows, was a Legendary Rocker and Frontman for Black Sabbath. For us Wrestling Fans, he was the cornerman for the British Buldogs at WrestleMania 2. His death has sent shockwaves throughout the Music Industry. He was 76

Both Men will be missed.

RIP

Malcolm-Jamal Warner

Jason's Gallery - Modern MoGal: Jennifer X Leo: Bestial Love!

Hey there, Toonsters,

Enjoy my latest fanart featuring characters from the Modern MoGal webcomic series by Han Yang (shepherd0821). This one features the lovely werewolf mom, Jennifer Barclay, and her human husband, Leo, a lawyer who specializes in cases involving monster/human incidents. I know you will like them.

Version 1: Traditional Art. My apologies for the background, I was trying some paint like markers, but they don't last that long.

Version 2: Digital Art. This one is a vast improvement over the last one. More shadows, more color and a lot more detail, if I do say so myself.

On a bright, full moon night, two unusual beings are having an intimate moment together. Jennifer Barclay, a beautiful werewolf, who was once a victim of a wolf bite long ago by the notorious Red Talbot, now a proud homemaker, loving wife and mother, embracing her humanity and very lycanthropy she now inherits. And by her side, or rather underneath her, is her husband, Leo, a human lawyer who specializes in cases involving monster/human incidents, who's always been there for her since defending her in court in her college years, and exposing Red's lies. Despite becoming a werewolf after Wendy was born, Leo, who is fully aware of Jennifer's lycanthropy from her wolf bite, still loves her for who and what she is. And despite their bed being a bit wear and tear, Jennifer and Leo couldn't be more in love than they are right now. 

The Rekka Dragon Flies Solo!

Hey there, toonsters and gamers alike,

Jason here, and I thought I give you a quick update here in Retro Rebellion. As you can tell from the title of my blog, my partner and brother Stefan left this blog and formed a new one called The Retro Resistance, completely different blog than this one right here. Therefore, he has left me in charge, but make no mistake, the mission here remains the same, talking about animation, gaming and sharing artwork, in the sole purpose of putting a little retro in all modern thinking. One can't exist without the other as they say. Rest assure, my friends. I will do my best to carry on where Stefan has started. This will take getting use to, but I know I will do my best here as the new captain of this ship.

Anyway, expect a new blog in the coming weeks, this one involves retro gaming, but of a different sort. Trust me, you will going to like it. As for my artwork, they will be posted when finished and posted on sites like Deviantart. Just you wait and see. Until then, I will try to make Retro Rebellion more relevant moreso than ever. So stay frosty, my friends. Everything will be okay. Until next time...

Saraba da (Farewell)...for now, and resist the cruel modern attitudes of today, cause Anime Jason aka Rekka Dragon Jay flies solo!

WWF Revision: 1986 - 1992

Continued from Part 2. 

This is my Final Post. Time to fix some injustices of the past.

1986 - The only change I'd make for WWF in 1986 is that "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff Wins the WWF Championship from Hulk Hogan during their Steel Cage Match on Saturday Night's Main Event. 

During the Actual event, there was controversy over who the winner was, as both men touched the floor at the same time..though in reality Orndorff hit the ground a split second before Hogan did. But, the WWF decided to give the decision to their Golden Boy, Hulk Hogan. So, in my revision, I just make the right call and have Mr. Wonderful win.  

Though, he only carries the belt for a month, before dropping it back to Hogan.

Ant that's about it for the changes in '86. Next up, WWF 1987.

==============================================================

1987 - Like with '86, I'd only change 1 thing about WWF in 1987. 

And that change is - Andre The Giant Gets his WrestleMania moment and Beats Hulk Hogan for the Championship at WrestleMania III. That's right, Andre gets rewarded for Everything he's done for the Company.

However, due to Andre's condition, he's only champ for a month, before he drops it back to Hogan. 

And with that, my Revision of WWF in 1987 ids complete. On to '88.

=================================================================

1988 -   For '88, I think I'm gonna leave things as is. Yeah, WWF in 1988 was pretty good. Plus, one of my all time favorites is the Champ for the entire year. Ooooooohh, Yeeeeeeaaaaah!!! Dig It!  

================================================================ 

1989 - '89 was a decent year, as well, However, I'd make one change - Mr Perfect wins the WWF Championship from Hulk Hogan, thanks to The Genius. And, he holds on to the belt for 2 months, before...you guessed it, Dropping it back to Hulk Hogan in a Steel Cage Match.

I figured, Curt Hennig deserves a run with the title...even if it's just a short one.  

And that's it for 1989, Not much needed to be changed in '89. Well, time to move on to the 90's.

============================================================

1990 - The first change I'd ,make in 1990, is that Hulk Hogan does NOT Win the Royal Rumble, "Ravishing" Rick Rude does, making Him a serious contender in the WWF.

The next change will be that, despite being in feuds of their own, "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase and "Macho King" Randy Savage Will be in the World Title picture and will have storylines with The Warrior.

The reason why The Warrior's reign as Champion flopped, was because of the lack of available credible contenders. Well, as you can see, I've decided to change that..    

That's all of the changes I'm gonna make for WWF in 1990. Next up '91.

===========================================================

1991 - The first change I'd make is a Huge one - At the Royal Rumble, Warrior retains via DQ. The ref sees "Macho King" Randy Savage smash Warrior with the Septor and DQ's Sgt. Slaughter. Sgt. Slaughter then gets into a feud with Hogan and Warrior gets into a feud with Savage.  

So, at WrestleMania VII, the Career Match between Savage and the Warrior will be for the Championship. Then the winner will put the Title on the line against the winner of the Hogan/Slaughter match. 

In the main event we get Hogan/Warrior II - The Ultimate Rematch, but this time Hogan wins. 

During the match, while the ref is down, Sgt. Slaughter and Gen. Adnan attack both the Warrior And Hogan, with both Warrior and Hogan getting struck hard with a chair and blinded by powder. After the attack, the 2 Heels leave. The ref slowly comes to and Hogan manages to pin Warrior, winning the match.

After the match, Hogan and Warrior form a truce and go after Sgt. Slaughter. This begins the feud which leads into the Match Made In Hell at SummerSlam.   

And with that, I made WrestleMania VII better.

The next change will be in the fall, where Col. Mustafa, thanks to Gen. Adnan, defeats Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship.

Sheiky's Revenge,Baby!!!!!!

However, that reign only lasts a few weeks, before Hogan wins it back. 

and finally, This Tuesday in Texas end with Undertaker  retaining the title thanks to "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Paul Bearer. A week later, Jack "Figurehead President" Tunney strips the Undertaker of the Title due to the controversy of that match. So He vacates the Title and puts the it up for grabs at the 1992 Royal Rumble.

And that's gonna do it for my revision of WWF in 1991. Next up...1992.

================================================================

1992 - A minor changes for 1992. The Savage/Flair Championship Match at WrestleMania VIII Is the Only main event. with Sid/Hogan being the next to last match. Speaking of that match, Papa Shango gets his queue on time and costs Sid the match.

Other than this, WWF 1992 goes on as normal. Yeah, '92 was a pretty good year for the WWF. And This wraps it up my WWF Revision series.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

And that's about it. I've corrected All of the Wrongs of the Hulkamania and Post-Hulkamania Eras. Hope you enjoyed the Grand Finale from Me for this Blog? Consider it a farewell gift from Me to All of you. 

Thanks for the support over the years and Special thanks to Jason aka RekkaDragonJay for giving me a Much needed hand.

The Blog is all yours, Bro. You're the new Leader of this faction of the Retro Resistance. I know You can handle it. I have faith in you. 

So, Until We meet again, RetroHeads. Punch a Nazi, Kick a Commie, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold.

The Retro King, has Spoken.

WWF Revision: 1997 - 1999

Continued from Part 1.

1997 - For 1997, I'd more or less keep everything as is, yeah...there's really no need to change much.  But, Bret "Hitman" Hart and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin co-win the Royal Rumble, which intensifies their feud and leads to the Fatal 4-Way at the next In your house. The Reason I made Bret co-win the Rumble with Austin, because this is STILL the New Generation Era and Bret Hart is The Leader.

Anyway, Shawn Michaels loses his smile and vacates the WWF Championship, as normal. And the the Title is still put up in the Fatal 4-Way, which is comprised of the 2 Royal Rumble co-winners (Hart and Austin) and the next 2 guys in-line for the title (Undertaker and Vader).

After this, the year continues as normal, though WrestleMania 13 is billed with having a Double Main Event - Bret Hart v. Steve Austin in a Submission Match and Undertaker v. Psycho Sid for the Championship.

In July, Shawn Michaels reaches a crossroads, which I'll dive deeper into in a What If special on my New Blog. Anyway, what I mean is that HBK was taking time off from the WWF and he wasn't too happy with the company at the moment. So, he had the option to jump ship to WCW.

For the sake of not completely changing history, I'm gonna have Michaels stay with the Federation. I also have a what-if for Bret Hart too, but I'll talk about that another time.

After Summer Slam, the Attitude Era officially begins. Everything will go on as normal, except for the Montreal Screwjob. Instead, I'm gonna enact the Original Plan where Bret wins the match via DQ. This satisfies both Bret's integrity and Shawn's ego.

I'll talk more about the Montreal Screwjob in full on my new blog, but the short story was that Bret (who was going to WCW the following month) didn't want to lose to Shawn Michaels in Canada, so The Hitman and Vince McMahon made a deal for Bret to win via DQ, so both Superstars would still look strong. But Michaels was a bitchman and wanted the WWF Championship, so after some "convincing", the original plan was changed behind the Hitman's back. 

Well, in My Revision, Vince tells Shawn to screw off and goes with the original plan. Though, he does promise him a title shot in the future.

Anyway, Bret wins by DQ when Chyna and Triple H attack. D-Generation X escapes when the Hart Foundation comes out to help The Hitman. The following night in RAW, Bret Hart delivers his farewell speech and relinquishes the Championship, leaving the WWF for WCW with a better attitude and mindset.

Seriously, Bret deserves more respect than what he was initially given.  Ok, but what about Mr. McMahon? He Was born thanks to the Screwjob. Very true, but here, I'm gonna give Mr. McMahon a slightly different origin in 1998, so don't worry, The Legendary Austin v. McMahon feud Still exists in My Revision.

Anyway, The Championship is then put up in a Tournament, which will conclude at the next In Your House (which will be renamed to 'In Your House - Beat Down for the Belt'). The Tournament participants are - The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Vader, The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust, "Marvelous" Marc Mero, Ken Shamrock, Faarooq, and Owen Hart.

During this Tournament, the various feuds com into play - Owen Hart/ Triple H, Undertaker/Kane, Golduist/Vader, and Ken Shamrock/The Rock. At In Your House in December, Finalists Shawn Michaels and Ken Shamrock brawl for the belt. Thanks to outside interference, HBK wins the match and becomes a 3x WWF Champion.

I'd have the rest of the month go on as normal.    

1997 was a good year for WWF Wrestling, and I think I just made it better. Next up, 1998.

================================================================== 

1998 - My WWF 1998 remains the same as it was. Except, Mr. McMahon is born a different way. Y'see, instead of turning into Mr. McMahon after the '97 Survivor Series after Screwing Bret, which never happens in My Revision, Vive McMahon turns heel when he grows frustrated after failing to convert "Stone Cold" Steve Austin into a Corporate Champion. However, this alt- road Still leads to Austin v. McMahon...it's just a month later.

Anyway, another thing I'd change is that I'll throttle back on the overly sexual stuff. While I'm at it, I'd revamp the Women's Division into a more serious Wrestling Division. So No Bra and Panties Matches OR Evening Gown Matches.

Profanity is also toned down...at least, a little bit. There's still swearing, but no F-Bombs (thankfully this isn't that big of a change, as there were rarely any f-bombs dropped in the product that we were given).

Oh yeah, and Wrestlers like Val Venus are Never given Title Runs. Period!!!  And the alliance with Playboy is Only a One Off.

Other than this, My WWF 1998 is more or less the same as it was in Real Life. 

Well...on to 1999. The Final Year of the 90's.

=====================================================

1999 - For 1999, All changes I made in 1998, sands Mr. McMahon, remain. So no overly-sexual content, serious Women's Wrestling, and no pushing Superstars with really stupid gimmicks, like Val Venus. 

But...I've also come up with a Brand New Change....and it's a Huge One.

WARNING!! WARNING!! History Changing Event In Effect!! WARNING!! WARNING!! 

Owen Hart Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At Over the Edge PPV, instead of dropping down from the rafters and dropping to his death, Owen Hart zip-lines down from the Ttantron  and lands safely in front of the ring (my revision of over the edge has a slightly different set design to accommodate for this). He then beats The Godfather for the IC Title, but loses it to Jeff Jarrett a few weeks later on RAW.   

Owen Hart wins the 1999 King of the Ring. And when The British Bulldog returns, they form a tag team.

With Owen Hart alive, Bret Hart's mentality in WCW remains sharp, unlike how it was in Real Life.

With those changes, 1999 become a better year for WWF.

And, That's how I plan on changing WWF for the better. So, what comes after this? Dunno, cuz I'm not planing on any more future WWF Revisions..save for the final chapter, in which We'll travel Back in Time to correct a few injustices in the Hulkamania Era. So join me for the Final part of my WWF Revision Series and my Final Post for this Blog.

See you there, RetroHeads. 

WWF Revision: 1993 - 1996

Well, this is it, the final new series for this blog and it's gonna be a great one. It's something I had on the backburner for a long time, and today  I'm happy I finally get to do this. This is my WWF Revision Series.

The Series will be broken up into 3 parts - 1993 - 1996, 1997 - 1999, and 1986 - 1992.

So why am I starting with '93 - '96 first, instead of '86 - '92? Because the biggest changes need to happen in that time period, and I want to get those over with first. With introductions out of the way, let's get to it. I'm gonna begin at WrestleMania IX.

1993 - As you know, Wrestlemania XI was concidered one of the worst 'Mania's in terms if booking. Well, that's the first thing I'm gonna change. First Tatanka defeats Shawn Michaels for the Intercontenental Championship, thus establishing his Wrestlemania Moment (he'll lose it to Michaels on Raw before the King of the Ring). Crush defeats Doink in a big way, ending their fued. Mr.Perfect defeats The Narcissist Lex Luger. The Undertaker defeats Giant Gonzalez via pinfall,thus ending their feud. Money Inc defeats The Mega Maniacs, via IRS's briefcase. Yokozuna defeats Bret Hart for the title, And when Hogan comes out, Mr. Fuji just taunts him, never issuing a Title Challenge, so Hogan doesn't become Champ again,

The Wrestling Fans, at that time, knew that Hogan's era was over and Didn't want to see him as champ again. Very good change and WrestleMania IX was improved greatly. 

Hogan challenges Yokozuna for the title on RAW, but Fuji wants to humiliate Hogan at a bigger venue...namely The King of the Ring. After a big loss at the hands of Crush, Doink decides to target someone else....The Undertaker. Doink and The Undertaker begin their Joker v Batman-esque fued (which ends at summerslam in a casket match). The RAW before the King of the Ring, Tatanka loses the IC Title back to Shawn Michaels. At the King of the Ring, Hogan fights and loses to Yokozuna, as normal, but leaves the WWF weeks later. Bret Hart still wins the 1993 King of the Ring,so that hasn't changed.

At SummerSlam,The Undertaker fights and defeats Doink in a Casket Match,ending their feud. Jerry "the King" Lawler was in Doinks corner. Speaking of Lawler,earlier in the show he faught Bret Hart (right off the bat,this time) and one by DQ,when Hart refused to release the Sharpshooter. Lex Luger defeats Yokozuna and wins the WWF World Title (though he loses it to Yokozuna at the Survivor Series,thanks to Fuji and Cornette). 

The reason for this change is to give Luger a reward for campaigning hard for the his Title Shot. While in This Universe,the whole "Lex Express" campaign was a waste, as Luger only beat Yokozuna via Count-Out, thus never becoming Champion.   

Anyway, another revision I'd make is that The Headshrinkers,and NOT the Quebecers,defeat the Steiner Brothers for the WWF Tag Titles. Steiners win them back in December. This is one of the most Important changes,as the 1st Dark Era of The WWE Tag Division,won't be as dark. Also Ludvig Borga feuds with Tatanka, Not Lex Luger. Speaking of turns,Doink becomes a Babyface soon after SummerSlam.

The Steiners begin a feud with the Quebecers after they cost the Bros their Title match on a September edition of RAW. Men on a Mission begins a small feud for the Tag Titles with the Headshrinkers.

- At the Survivor Series,things go as planned,except for a few things: Yokozuna fights Lex Luger and beats him for the title,thanks to Mr.Fuji and Jim Cornette. The Foreign Fanatics v All American's match is NOT the Main Event,and are named different. The Foreign Fanatics are called Borga's Brutes and would consist of Ludvig Borga (captain), The Quebecers (Pierre is never injured and replaced), and Crush.

While The All Americans are renamed to Tatanka's Braves, which consist of Tatanka (who in this revision is never injured), The Steiner Bros., and The Undertaker.  

The Doinks v Team Bam Bam is a more serious affair and the show's Only 5-on-5 match. Men on a Mission and The Bushwackers wrestle as themselves,with Doink the only one dressed as...well,Doink. The 5th member of Team Bam Bam is the Brooklyn Brawler. Oh, BTW, Booger is the first one eliminated from that match. Also,The Doinks are renamed to Doink's Funsters.  

The night after the Surviver Series,it is revealed to Cornette,Fuji,and Yokozuna that the Undertaker has been named the #1 contender for the WWF Championship at the Royal Rumble.

Yokozuna,fearing the Undertaker, tries to put him on the shelf before the Royal Rumble. The Undertaker-Yokozuna feud begins.

In December,The Headshrinkers lose the tag titles to The Steiner Bros, who then defend them against the Harts at the '94 Royal Rumble,but lose them to the Quebecers in February. Feeling that he had been cheated out of his title at Survivor Series, Lex Luger announces his entry into the 1994 Royal Rumble. Jack "The Figurehead President" Tunney grants him entry,right off the bat.

Aside from the above changes, I keep everything as is. And with that,the Course of WWE has changed for the better in 1993. On to 1994 and the Dawn of the New Generation Era.    

===========================================================

1994 - We kick things off with the WWE Royal Rumble 1994. Everything's the same except for 1 thing: It's the Steiner Brothers who hold the Tag Titles and not the Quebecers.  

In February,The Quebecers defeat the Steiners for the Tag Team Gold. In March everything goes on as normal.

In Late April,Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels begin a mini-feud (started over michaels' interference in the razor/diesel intercontinental title match). This leads a Hair v Carrer Match,with Michaels' Hair put on the line against Savage's Wrestling Career on a Monday Night RAW in early-May. Thanks to Diesel, Randy Savage loses and remains a Commentator. He also co-hosts Mania with Todd Pettengil.

In May,everything goes on as normal. Well,except for the short Savage/Michaels feud. The WWF Women's division begins to grow. 

In June,everything goes on as normal....except No Underfaker! Instead,Ted Dibiase introduces The Reaper,a grim-reaper themed wrestler,who he claims is the Undertaker's replacement...The "New Undertaker",if you will. Dibiase claims he got The Reaper from the same place that he got The Undertaker way back in 1990. Dibiase claims that The Reaper possesses all of the same powers that the Undertaker had,but that The Reaper is superior in every way. The Reaper is played by Brian Lee. The Reaper makes his debut a week later and is everything Dibiase says he is..except more sadistic.

Why this change? Because it's just better than 2 Undertakers. Plus, the Reaper is kinda like a Prototype Kane. So that's cool.

Anyhoo,,,In July,everything goes on as normal, so there's that. In August, the only changes are at Summerslam. At the event,The Undertaker returns to fight and defeat The Reaper, instead of the Underfaker. Also The Hart Bros. Steel Cage Match is moved to the Main Event.

The RAW after Summerslam,Undertaker declares war on all of those who attempted to end him. The exceptions being The Headshrinkers and Adam Bomb (who he says have repented). The 1st body he wants to bury is Jeff Jarrett and that He'll take care of Yokozuna last. Undertaker and Jarrett have a match the next week.

In September,The Undertaker's crusade against his enemies continues. Other than this,nothing is changed. In October,There are only 2 changes: One Minor,One Major. First the minor: Jerry Lawler only brings ONE Mini-King to the WWF, Sleazy. Now the major...

WARNING!! WARNING!! History Changing Event In Effect!! WARNING!! WARNING!!
 

 .....I'd have Vince McMahon, through major negotiations, make a deal with Randy "Macho Man" Savage to renew his contract with the WWF until the Spring of '95.

November has a small host of changes. First off,as a thank you for resigning, Jack "The Figure-Head President" Tunney grants "Macho Man" Randy Savage One Final Post-Retirement Bonus Match against Bob Backlund on RAW. Next change is that Savage is a Color Commentator at the Survivor Series.

Survivor Series Change #2: The Bad Guys look much stronger against the Teamsters,and they manage to eliminate Owen Hart,Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart,and "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Shawn Michaels and (mostly) Diesel eliminate the 1-2-3 Kid,The Headshrinkers,and "British Bulldog" Davey Smith. Other that this major change,the match ends as normal.

Survivor Series Change #3: Doink and Dink battle Jerry "The King" Lawler and his Mini-King, Sleazy in a tag match at the Survivor Series. So it's not Clowns R Us v The Royal Family. Because, it makes the WWF look better than what happened at This Universes' Survivor Series '94..

Survivor Series Change #5: Guts N Glory does way better against the Million Dollar Team...with Guts and Glory winning.

The final change of the month has Bob Backlund keep the WWF Championship for a longer period of time. He loses it to Diesel in early January.

In December,Bret "Hitman" Hart is granted a WWF title shot at the Royal Rumble.

Other than the above changes, 1994 stays as is.

The New Generation Era continues in 1995, where big changes await...as does the Monday Night War.

=================================================================== 

1995- In January Bob Backlund remains WWE Champ until the first RAW of the month. To prove he's the ultimate champion,Mr.Backlund makes a challenge to put his title up against anyone in the locker room...he gets Diesel. Backlund gives Big Daddy Cool a good fight,but he eventually succumbs to the big guy's power. Diesel becomes the new champion. The Royal Rumble remains unaltered...well,except for the Royal Rumble Match itself,which goes by at it's normal speed.

The next major change I'd make is the feud between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Bob Backlund. I'd simply make the feud more meaningful  Plus, I'd raise the stakes of their WrestleMania match. On an early March episode on RAW, Backlund would add in the stipulation that if He lost at WrestleMania to The Hit Man, He would retire. But that if Bret lost, The Hitman would have to become his pupal for 2 Years. The Hitman agrees.

Their Match at WrestleMania XI still remains an "I Quit" Match, with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as the Guest Referee. I'd also make The match itself much better than it was at the Actual WMXI. Also, I'd make this the 1st Match in a Double Main Event, with the 2nd one being Michaels v. Diesel fror the WWF Championship.

Bret Hart IS The Leader of WWF's New Generation and to see him relegated to the Mid-Card like this was just disgusting, so I'm fixing things the way they Should've Been!!! 

Anyway, Bam Bam Bigelow v. L.T., in My revision is counted as a Special Attraction.

After WrestleMania XI, the Big Changes start to happen. First, All Gimmick Wrestlers are relegated to Superstars, never appearing on RAW. Next, After his Face Turn, Bam Bam Bigelow will have a Year-Long feud with the Million Dollar Corporation, ending at The Survivor Series. Also, "Macho Man" Randy Savage leaves the WWF after the event, where he did Color Commentary with Jerry "The King" Lawler and Vince McMahon. 

The next major (and much needed) change I'd make is to the King of The Ring. As Everyone and their father are well We.ll aware, The 1995 King of the Ring was one of the Worst, so for the Revision I'm gonna set things right.

First, Mabel of Men on a Mission does NOT Win the King of The Ring, The Undertaker Does. Mabel gets himself disqualified thanks to interference from Kama. This sets up a feud between Mabel and the Undertaker going forward.

Next, "The Kiss My Foot Match" between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Jerry "The King" Lawler will be changed to a "No Disqualifications" match and will be the 1st part of a Double Main Event. 

And Finally, Undertaker becomes the 1995 King of the Ring and gets a Title Shot at Summer Slam.

Next, At In Your House in July, everything goes as McMahon planned, except for 4 things. 1 - An Extra Match where the Undertaker fights Kama in a Casket Match, the one they Would have at Summer Slam 95 in the Actual Timeline. I figured that I'd move it here, so that I can replace it with Bam Bam v. Sid.

Undertaker/Kama Did happen at the event, but it was a Dark Match. 

2 - Bret Hart battles Jean-Pierre Lafitte is moved to the next to final match.  In the Actual event it was a Dark Match.Hart loses thanks to Jerry "The King" Lawler's interference.

3 - After failing to gain the Tag Titles from Owen Hart and Yokozuna, the Allied Powers explode, when a pissed British Bulldog viciously attacks Lex Luger. The British Bulldog turns heel and it sets up a short feud between him and Luger. 2 weeks later, The British Bulldog, along with his new manager Jim Cornette, explains his actions. Davey Boy was sick of Luger's arrogant attitude and that the All American got all of the Glory, while the Bulldog did most of the Work. Luger refutes this, however. And the 2 agree to face each other at Summer Slam.

And finally, Change 4 - During his celebration win over Psycho Sid in the Lumberjack Match, Diesel is confronted by the Undertaker, signifying the fact that the 2 WILL face each other for The Title at Summer Slam.   

The nest night on RAW, Bret Hart, still angry about Jerry Lawler's interference in his match, Challenges him to a Steel Cage Match at Summer Slam. So NO Issac Yankem. Don't worry, Glenn Jacobs still gets employed by the WWF, he's just Big Glenn Jacobs, a Tough from The Mid West. Yeah, the Evil Dentist thing was Stupid. 

Next, I'd set up a rivalry for the IC Title between good friends "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon and Champion "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, which leads to their epic Ladder Match for the Title at Summer Slam.

Bam Bam Bigelow targets Sid, which leads to Their match at Summer Slam. Plus, as an added bonus, the winner will be the next #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship. Diesel also starts his program with the Undertaker, who He'll be facing at Summer Slam.

Summer Slam '95 has a Double Main Event. The first being Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler in a Steel Cage (which hart wins). And the Second, "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel putting his WWF Championship on the Line against The Undertaker.(which undertaker wins, despite interference from mabel).

Also at Summer Slam, Hunter Hearst Helmsley v Bob Holly is replaced with Lex Lugar v The British Bulldog. Which Luger loses, thanks to Jim Cornette's interference. Note that this will be Lex Luger's Final WWF PPV Event, as he'd jump ship back to WCW in Early September. 

Bam Bam Bigelow defeats Psycho Sid and faces HBK for the title on RAW 2 weeks later. He wins by DQ, when Kama interferes, leading to a feud between the 2.

After losing his title to the Undertaker at Summer Slam, Diesel decides to return to his roots and promises to rise back to the top as quickly as he did last time. Diesel is still a babyface, but he's a bit more aggressive and cocky. 

With Undertaker as the champion,he takes Diesel's place in the Triple Header Match at In Your House in September. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker are an interesting combination, don'cha think? Anyway, For September's In Your House, I'd make 2 changes. 1 - Bam Bam battles Kama, which ends in a Double DQ. and  Diesel battles Mabel. After the Match, Mabel and Mo run into "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, who purchases them. Men on a Mission are now part of the Million Dollar Corporation. 

Other than this the event goes on as normal. Later in the month, Undertaker, Diesel, and Shawn Michaels battle Camp Cornette in a 6-Man Tag on RAW. The end is exactly the same, with total carnage in the ring. Undertaker gets shelved and the WWF Championship is vacated and put up as a prize in a Tournament, which will conclude in October at In Your House - The Great White North.

The Tournament Participants are - The British Bulldog, Psycho Sid, Bam Bam Bigelow, "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon, Jerry "The King" Lawler ,Jean-Pierre Lafitte ,"Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, and Bret "Hitman" Hart.  

The Tournament ends with Diesel and Bret Hart in the finals. The Hitman wins and becomes the Champion for the 3rd time. a frustrated Diesel attacks Bret and turns into a tweener. 

Other than these changes, IYH 4 remains the same. 

The next night on RAW, Diesel explains his actions and is proud of what he did. He declares that the REAL Big Daddy Cool is back and puts everyone in the WWF on notice. He promises to run over all who get in his way, with the exception of his buddies, Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels.

It is also announced that The Undertaker will be returning at Survivor Series And will face Bret Hart for his Championship. And, the winner will go on to Face The British Bulldog at In Your House in December. 

The revised Survivor Series '95 also has different matches. The Royals vs. The Darkside is instead The Million Dollar Corp. vs. The Firebrands. The Million Dollar Corp will consist of Mabel, Kama, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Jerry "The King" Lawler. 

The Firebrands will consist of Bam Bam Bigelow, Savio Vega, Fatu, and Henry Godwin. The Firebrands win the match (thanks to paul bearer coming out to distract mabel) and Bam Bam's battle with the Million Dollar Corporation ends. 

The next new match will be Diesel vs. Goldust, which Goldust wins via DQ when Diesel starts brutalizing him.

Also, Bret Hart battles the Undertaker for the WWF Championship and wins via DQ when Mabel interferes. 

The rest of the card remains the same, however.

And that's it for the changes, December will remains the same in this revision. 

WWF in 1995 has been fixed and What An Improvement, Huh!! Next up, 1996.  

==============================================================

1996 - The beginning of '96 remains the same until after WrestleMania XII. Well, first, I'd turn Razor Ramon heel. Here's how this will go:

The RAW after WrestleMania, The Bad Guy joins Shawn Michaels during his in-ring victory interview. Just as things were going great, The Bad Guy attacks and viciously beats up The WWF Champ. The Next week, Ramon explains his actions - he was sick of doing thing the "Right Way" and wanted to do things the "Razor Ramon" way. He then talks about the "Man from '92" and that lately he's missed him like crazy, but that now, the "Man from '92" has returned and is ready to take what he wants, whenever he wants it. And declares that the Real Razor Ramon is Back! 

Note: The "Man From '92" refers to how Razor Ramon was in 1992, his debut year. 

Anyway, this sets up a Title Match between Razor and Shawn at the next In Your House (still titled 'Good Friends, Better Enemies'). I made this change due to Razor Ramon being more deserving of a Title Shot than Diesel.

So...if Razor is going after the Championship, what about Big Daddy Cool? Well, he starts something with Vader, which leads them to have a match at In Your House. After losing to Vader, Diesel targets Shawn Michaels.

Bret Hart takes some time off, but until he returns, WWF airs Bret Hart Matches from the archives during RAW. He Is the Leader of the Era, after all. Anyway, Bret Does return to team up with Shawn Michaels against Razor Ramon and Diesel. 

A Week later....The (In) famous MSG event happens, the one that leads to "The Curtain Call". However, the event is Televised on the MSG Network and has a few matches changed. While Shawn Michels and Diesel Still have their Championship Steel Cage Match, Razor Ramon, now a heel, teams up with Hunter Hearst Helmsley against Savio Vega and Fatu. Bret Hart does guest commentary for the event.

The broadcast ends before the "Curtain Call" happens, so it wasn't televised...though some fans in the arena recorded it. 

As much as I Really wanted Razor and Diesel to stay and improve WWF's Tag Division, I refuse to deprive the Wrestling World of one of the most Legendary angles in Wrestling - The Outsider Invasion and the formation of the n.W.o. Yeah, I'm helping the competition, but trust me, this is for the best.

After all of this, '96 goes on as normal, except Bret Hart is featured more prominently. Including, main eventing various House Shows and repping WWF on the International Stage. And of course, All Gimmick and Low-Tier Wrestlers Only appear on WWF Superstars.

Now, the next change will be at Summer Slam, with a New stipulation for the 4-Team Elimination Match. The Winners will defend the Tag Titles against Owen Hart and The British Bulldog at the Next In Your House.

Other than this, Summer Slam '96 remains the same ....as does the rest of the year, for the most part. 

In September, Jim Ross "turns Heel" and introduces us to the Fake Razor Ramon and Fake Diesel. However, I'd change it so that Fakes only stick around for a month. Then have the 2 dudes who portrayed them, Glen Jacobs and Rick Bognar, ditch the Diesel and Razor gimmicks to wrestle as Big Glen Jacobs and Rick Titan respectively.

Also Bret Hart's attitude Shawn Michaels is more casual at first, but turns a bit heated when HBK interferes in Bret's match with Sid at In Your House in December.

Well, that's it for 1996. join me for part 2 of this Trilogy, where I go into the depths of The Attitude Era.

See ya then.
