    WWE SummerSlam 2023 Predictions

    Rev your engines as WWE heads to Detroit for SummerSlam.

    I’m slightly disappointed about the lack of women’s matches that is on this card. We could have had 3 or four, but we have a mere 2. One which was thrown together with a random stipulation and a title match.

    And can Finn Bálor regain a title that he never lost, 7 years later?

    Let’s predict.

    Non-Title Matches

    • SummerSlam Battle Royal presented by Slim Jim
      • PREDICTION: Only 12 of the 25 entrants have been announced and out of the lot announced so far… LA Knight, YEAH!
    • Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler in a ‘MMA Rules’ match.
      • PREDICTION: We don’t know what the ‘MMA Rules’ stipulation entails but this is really a nothing match and I only see Ronda Rousey winning this.
    • Logan Paul vs Ricochet
      • PREDICTION: This is going to be the match of the night. The two will probably pull off a banger of a match. Logan will win to get the rub.
    • Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar
      • PREDICTION: Brock Lesnar – I don’t believe Cody will pin Brock. If he does, it would only be by shenanigans.

    Title Matches

    • Gunther (C) vs Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Championship
      • PREDICTION: Gunther – WWE wants the record to be broken and Gunther is the guy to do it. Sorry Drew, maybe at Wrestlemania.
    • Asuka (C) vs Charlotte Flair vs Bianca Belair in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women’s Championship
      • PREDICTION: I despise Charlotte Flair… why is she here. She actively ruins my enjoyment of the women’s division because we KNOW the result before it even happens. Charlotte Flair is going to win. Asuka or Bianca should retain/win, but you know it is not going to happen.
    • Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins (C) vs Finn Bálor for the World Heavyweight Championship
      • PREDICTION: A re-match from Money in the Bank and having Finn winning it, would work storyline-wise. He won the title at SummerSlam 2016 but vacated it the next night on RAW due to injury. 7 years later and he could get it. I hope he gets it. Finn Balor to win
    • Roman Reigns (C) vs Jey Uso in ‘Tribal Combat’ for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
      • PREDICTION: If this had been against anyone else, you could have easily put your money on Roman. But this match is serious. The culmination of a 3-year story and the potential end of Roman’s VERY long title reign. I can see it happening. I can see Roman losing tonight but it will not be clean. Solo will turn on Roman, Jimmy may come back to attack Roman. Ref bumps, visual pins but Jey will get it done. Jey Uso to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

    How are you seeing these matches fare?

    When a Macross 82-99 album releases, you can’t help but be sucked into a particular track. For me. there are far too many to choose from and one for me features the fantastic vocals of the talented Neon Vectors.

    Two of a Kind was released as part of SAILORWAVE III last March on Neoncity Records and while this song is a banger, the whole album and its previous 2 albums are also bangers. Well worth a listen.

    With the album released on NCR’s Bandcamp, they also released limited physical editions via vinyl and cassette.
    It would be cool to get a record player and all 3 SAILORWAVE albums (Plus the rest of Macross 82-99’s back catalogue) but I have limited space in my house and I don’t think a record player would fit in anywhere. Maybe, a cassette player would work as it has a smaller footprint.

    Maybe a project for another day?!

    Grab some headphones and enjoy the sick bass line of this fantastic song.

    Lyrics

    We’re two of a kind, you and I
    We’re always on the run, never satisfied
    We’re always looking for the next big thing
    The next adventure, the next thrill

    We’re two of a kind, we’re meant to be
    Together we’ll conquer the world, you and me
    We’re two of a kind, we’re unstoppable
    Together we can do anything, we’re unstoppable

    We’re always breaking the rules, never conforming
    We’re always marching to the beat of our own drum
    We’re always looking for something new, something different
    Something that will make us feel alive

    We’re two of a kind, we’re meant to be
    Together we’ll conquer the world, you and me
    We’re two of a kind, we’re unstoppable
    Together we can do anything, we’re unstoppable

    I know we’re not perfect, but we’re perfect for each other
    We’re two of a kind, and we’ll always have each other

    We’re two of a kind, we’re meant to be
    Together we’ll conquer the world, you and me
    We’re two of a kind, we’re unstoppable
    Together we can do anything, we’re unstoppable

    We’re two of a kind, we’re a team
    We’re always there for each other, no matter what
    We’re two of a kind, and we’ll always be together

  • Side Note: How to Enable DevTools in Discord

    Side Note: How to Enable DevTools in Discord

    I currently have a ticket open with Discord and they required me to get the Build Number for the client that I was using.
    Of course, this information would mainly be in the ‘User Settings’ at the bottom but they wanted the [BUILD INFO] more specifically

    But when I attempted to do ⌘⌥+i on my Mac, it didn’t appear. Checking to ensure that I did it right, focused on the window and nothing, still wouldn’t work.

    It turns out that on the Stable client for Discord, they disabled it to prevent any account compromises.

    To enable it, carry out the following:

    • Quit Discord (Either via ‘Discord’ >> Quit, or pressing ⌘+Q)
    • Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/discord/
    • Open settings.json in TextEdit or your favourite text editor.
    • Above the } at the bottom of the file, add "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true
    • Save it.
    • Reopen Discord.

    Now, you can open DevTools on Discord on macOS.

    And since there will be someone looking to do this on Windows:

    • Quit Discord.
    • Win+R to open run.
    • Type: %appdata%/discord/ and press enter
    • Open the settings.json in Notepad your favourite text editor
    • Above the } at the bottom of the file, add "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true
    • Save it.
    • Reopen Discord.

    And the Linux users

    • Quit Discord.
    • Navigate to /.config/discord/ either via the terminal or through your File Manager. [It may also be at ~/.discord if it’s not in the aforementioned location.]
    • Open the settings.json in your favourite text editor.
    • Above the } at the bottom of the file, add "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true
    • Save it.
    • Reopen Discord.
