Be With You: My 44th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in gaming such as me playing Cricket 26 on the PS5 for the first time in a few months as of March 26th where the update had introduced shot force as well as shot force for types of strokes where I was overly impressed about it when I discovered that I set it to 100 so I had opportunities to hit sixes out of the park since the update came along, & I was once comparing gameplay to that Cricket 26 game to that Cricket 07 game that I own at the moment on PlayStation 2, & the Cricket 07 one was better than Cricket 26 (Where it had the best graphics than any other cricket sims all along) in terms of gameplay (But I have not played the Rugby League 26 game since because I have been enjoying that Rugby League 2 game on the PS2 that I always play, & I think I'm a gaming historian throughout), but there were players from the Ashes participating countries of both Australia & England in that era in Cricket 07 such as the late Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Ricky Ponting, Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook & Andrew Flintoff, compared to Cricket 26 where they had Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer & Jacob Bethell.

And secondly in the music that one of the old time bands of the Foo Fighters (Well, they're American because they were originally from Seattle in the state of Washington, but they're most experienced rockers of them all) have released new songs such as 'Caught in the Echo' that I heard on YouTube once along with another one of the old timers like the UK's rockers of Muse with their new hit, 'Be With You' from the upcoming album due for release in June this year called The Wow! Signal that is influenced on the space radio signal which circulated in 1977 as I heard on the radio station of Brian FM (My fave since I first heard it in 2015, but I started to listen it since because of the Rock FM always play ads on the radio compared to Brian which is commercial free) for which had a mixed reaction, saying that the sound of their new music is awesome while others think that it's just plain rubbish at the moment, along with the new rock acts (Well, they have been around since they released their major label debut studio album back in 2012 of Vessel) of America's Twenty One Pilots, also with their new song, 'Drag Path'.

And thirdly that why I always like ice hockey, because of me influencing Rejean (Well, I have not seen him along with Aunty Tan for like 84 days as of March 27th, but his 64th birthday is due on the last day of March on the 31st) who is also always an ice hockey watcher, but I mainly watch the rugby just like Pops (And we support the Hurricanes in Super Rugby Pacific, compared to Rejean who has been a Montreal Canadiens (Which is a team that currently competes in the NHL) fan throughout).

And lastly that the dramedy of the Fighting with my Family movie that came out back in 2019 (For which was a success in terms of rave reviews), was about a female wrestler named Paige (Who used to compete under her real name Saraya or Saraya Knight who was with AEW (Until she returned to the WWE recently, after 4 years away when she left in 2022 (8 years following her debut also back in 2014 where she took AJ Lee (Who also made a comeback to the WWE) a pounding to capture an unlikely win to claim the WWE Divas Championship title on Raw the night following WrestleMania XXX) at WrestleMania XLII where she teamed up with Brie Bella to replace the injured Nikki (Who is Brie's twin sister) to claim the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship altogether), just like the Canadian wrestler from AEW named Adam Copeland who once competed as Edge during his time in the WWE, but he's allowed to keep his nickname of 'The Rated R Superstar') being born from a tight knit wrestling family from Norwich in the UK about to break through the ranks (And her bro Zak should've joined because he did not make it) in the world of pro wrestling who was introduced by her mentor of the Rock (Dwayne Johnson), but they should have made a sequel about the life of Rhea Ripley who was also born from a family of wrestlers in Adelaide, Australia, to become one of the country's most successful professional wrestlers (Just like that they closely working on making a sequel to the highly successful F1: the Movie from last year starring Brad Pitt (The American Hollywood film star & A-lister) that was far better than the Sly Stallone CART Champ Car movie, Driven taken from back in 2001), but next year's WWE 2K game should focus on the career of the lady known as 'Mami' & 'The Eradicator' who is the modern day version of the late Chyna in terms of the comparison between the 2 female wrestling superstars, just like CM Punk did when they released the WWE 2K26 game that focuses the career of the man known as 'The Straight Edge Superstar', 'The Second City Saint', & 'The Best in the World'.

So that is my 692nd blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 44th of this year, viva Ukraine.

P.S. And the rock music industry was in mourning in February this year as the lead singer of the American rockers 3 Doors Down (Known for their hits such as 2000's breakthrough hit, 'Kryptonite', as well as 2002's 'When I'm Gone', & the most infamous one from back in 2003, 'Here Without You'), of Brad Arnold who he is gone because of him who sadly passed away after his lengthy but prolonged battle with cancer at the age of 47, so they've already sent their thoughts, prayers, & heartfelt condolences to the family of Arnold, & his loved ones, rest in paradise (RIP)/rest easy.

Brad Arnold
1978 - 2026
