Downhome

My download is finished, and I'm about to play it.

For those of us with an Xbox 360, they just put up a WWE SVR 2007 demo on XBL Marketplace! It is 1.06 GB, and I just started my download. EDIT: From what I read it looks like the demo is Kane and HHH in a singles match in the Raw arena, complete with entrances, and it's unlimited (no timer on the demo). There are also 3 tutorial videos included.

Holy crap, that was awesome, and yes it gave me goosebumps as well.

Yeah it makes perfect sense to stay in kayfabe backstage in front of all of the wrestlers. He was talking about on-air during Batista's return episode of SD. So yes, it does make perfect sense. Exactly. I agree with Kid Kash on that also. I've always hated seeing the heels and faces together in certain segments, just like this one that he had a problem with.

I'm listening to the latest PWInsider Q & A, and one of the questions was about the time when Kid Kash stood up and said how it would be stupid for him to be backstage welcoming Batista back, sine he was a heel (I agree with that btw). Now, keep in mind these questions were sent to PWInsider about a month or two ago. As they are answering the question, during the hotline, they got word of Kid Kash's release. Talk about a huge coincidence.

This isn't really news, but it is a funny note. From a PWInsider hotline: -RVD recently missed an ECW show because he drove to Tyler, OK instead of Tyler, Texas. He went several hours in the wrong direction, and wasn't able to make it back to where he was supposed to be.

From a PWInsider hotline: -The release of Kid Kash shocked all of the workers, since he worked the SD taping last night and there wasn't any indication of a problem at all. -The reason was "well, it's Kid Kash and he has an attitude anyway" so they just decided to go ahead and release him and get it out of the way. -His "attitude problem" is the sort of thing where if someone like HHH, Taker, and all of those guys did the same thing nothing would come of it, but because of him just being Kid Kash, it was enough for them to let him go. He was just vocal about giving ideas to creative for himself. From what they say, it wasn't anything totally major this time, just enough for them to have an excuse to fire him.

If they only still had Confidential, we could be seeing that in a matter of days!

Arriving at retailers in North America, the U.K, France and Germany in mid-November 2006, the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player will retail for $199.99 in North America (estimated retail price)* and €199.99/£129.99 (estimated retail price)* in the U.K., France and Germany. The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player comes with the Universal Pictures' blockbuster film Peter Jackson's "King Kong" on HD DVD (for a limited time) and the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote.

Assassin's Creed is going to be so awesome (yet another "exclusive" that PS3 lost). Check out this new gameplay footage: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3dKCCEFQkrQ

I'm to the point where I don't totally get why anyone would buy a PS3 right now, unless it's just to get a deal of sorts on a Blu-Ray player. Are any of you guys picking one up at launch, to keep for yourself?

Sony better do something fucking quick. As time goes by, Microsoft just keeps dishing out the lowblows.

Guitar Hero II Confimred For Xbox 360 http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/...3323187-000.jpg

There is a ZERO chance of a title change tonight.

Well, that style sure as hell worked for Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan. CM Punk has a certain type of charisma that will take him far, even if they limit him in the ring a bit.

Overall, I've really enjoyed this episode of ECW. Coming up next, the match that we've heard about possibly happening since before ONS II earlier this year. My only major complaint right now about ECW is that it seems like they just up and ended the Heyman/Dreamer deal that was shaping up to lead somewhere pretty cool.

CM Punk is so damn awesome. He's the type of guy, all around, that WWE has been needing for years.

And instantly they are taking care of Holly's gash, and he looks like he's in major legit pain. I can't remember the last time a match started off one way and ended another, to this extent. I enjoyed it, and now the fans are cheering for Holly as he leaves.

Now that they've started going more hardcore, I'm enjoying their work together. This is how all of their matches should be. They are just beating the fuck out of one another now. RVD just got destroyed by that chair.

Maybe if RVD/Holly went a more straight up hardcore brawling style instead of trying to work a normal match for part of it they could have a better match. Holy crap that is a horrible gash.

I like RVD and I like Holly, but I sure don't really like them together. I did love the suplex spot though, and holy shit does Holly look fucked up.

Bischoff! This has got to lead to him coming back to WWE TV full time once again. And yeah, I enjoyed seeing JR with the cane also.

Let's hear it for Big Daddy Jamba!

I don't really care all that much about it either, if I really want to get online I'll get on my PC. Still, if it's free, I'll download it and maybe make use of it somehow.

Free Opera for all! Can you guys guess which part of this cover has me the most excited?
