I like Jarrett's as much as I can like a ripoff of Triple H's 'My Time' theme. TNA can do a lot better, in my opinion, but Oliver probably comes cheap or has a buddy there. He's had some good ones, but I'd say 95% of his work is only ripping off something else, whether it's a real song or that wrestler's past WWE theme, and even most of his good songs are still ripping off something else. They all have this similar feel or quality to them, really cheap and amateurish, honestly, almost tin like, if I had to describe it. I'd be surprised to learn that he uses more than two guitars, more than one set of drums in his work, for example, or rather, if he even knows how to use things like Pro Tools and mixing boards. Maybe he just sits at either in befuddlement.

It wasn't awful by normal standards, just thoroughly average when it needed to be a blow away effort, and Bagwell being in the match was also a huge disappointment in itself.

It wasn't a Canadian Destroyer attempt. But I'm a nitpick about these things.

CM Punk is up on the IGN Countdown. No Pepsi or Cobra tattoo.

The only ear/face piercing that's ultra retarded is the large tunnel through the earlobe. Any cheek, bridge, or 'that area between your nose and upper lip' piercing I don't get, but the tunnel through the earlobe is one that people should be shot for. On females I quite like anything otherwise, as long as it isn't excessive. I don't know if I'll ever do so, but I wouldn't mind earrings, eyebrow, septum or a lip thing on myself, and don't really see any of them as particularly feminine, though it's unlikely. I don't even see a tongue piercing as feminine or gay anymore, especially since girls like the feeling, as well, but I have no interest mainly due to the care it takes.

Broncos win on an Elam FG with no time left despite Cutler channeling Jake Plummer.

It doesn't get any worse than the Oklahoma and Madusa feud, except maybe when Jacqueline held the belt and was feuding with Chavo Jr. and Classic. It's entertaining and is getting Noble some time/getting him over, so I approve.

Someone else could definitely do better quality wise, and when taking into consideration the state of things, that's just my theme preference.

I love Darko. I hope he stays in the NBA forever.

FLUDD replaces the Mario Tornado as his Down Special, although the Tornado now looks to be an aerial. The Pokemon Stadium 2 stage introduces Electric, Ground, Flying and Ice terrains, and rather than just changing the layout, looks to have a bigger effect on players. Now there's My Music, from which you can choose songs from throughout a series and customize the soundtrack, as well as CDs which can be picked up like Trophies and used to add tracks to the editor, and the amount of songs to choose from looks to be a lot, on top of that.

Of course, you're assuming that everyone at your school read/s the paper. At every school I've been to (and I've been to a lot of them) most people don't particularly care for it unless they're being mentioned. If we assume the kids are aware and even if they're not, at this point Rickroll is done. You'll still catch people unaware, sure, but after Family Guy and especially Carson Daly used it, you could hear the hearse getting ready. Should've went for a Reichroll just to see what the reaction was.

It's never the number of wrestlers people are pissed or upset or disappointed by, just the choices made. You have to admit there's no way London and Kendrick shouldn't be in over Cryme Tyme, comedy acts who until recently were Heat regulars and didn't have a major role on Raw. Kenny is a curtain jerker act who jobs to anyone and everyone, and will likely be rated so low as to not be competitive, so why bother. Meanwhile Ashley hasn't been on in a while, even a couple months ago when the rosters were being finalized, Michelle McCool was just coming back, and Kelly Kelly has been involved with the Expose thing while setting not one foot inside the ring... and Torrie Wilson is useless and always questionable. I'm not saying I won't pick it up or that I'm not excited about Dreamer, Sandman, Rude, Funk, Sabu, CM Punk, Cor Von, Burke, or even Cryme Tyme, despite what I said above, but there are always these kinds of choices which only make me shake my head. The only reason I can fathom as to why Londrick weren't included is London's heat, which sounds ridiculous, but should logically be the only reason they aren't in. About real unlockables, for years past Yukes has done very little in this area. I don't think they've had hidden wrestlers since the PS1/early PS2 days. Recently once the roster was announced, that was it, no surprises to be had, and there's no reason to think that won't be the case this time. If those that are missing are available as downloadable content, that's much better, but if they're only available by paying for the privilege, it's a ripoff more akin to the Jake Roberts issue, just not as costly,.. but would still add on to however much the game is. Oh. Rey Mysterio was the first in IGN's countdown, but no one cares.

Cryme Tyme over Londrick and Cade/Murdoch. Booker is listed as Booker T instead of King Booker, which I'm hoping doesn't mean much. It was worrying me, but Gregory Helms is in. We got Sabu, no RVD. No Kevin Thorn, unlike what I previously thought. Haas and Benjamin are out, which sucks. Terry Funk and Rick Rude are in as legends. It appears the PSP is getting Eddie, Jim Neidhart and Sgt. Slaughter as exclusives. The DS gets... Hardcore Holly.

I've long been a proponent of banning only the worst spammers, trolls, and dumbasses, leaving everyone up to their own devices otherwise, but the problem is where to draw the line. Like netslob, he obviously had to go. Even if his entertainment value dropped on his return, I honestly miss people like Crono, Damaramu, wildpegasus, etc., because they created drama and made things interesting. Fuck 'derailing discussion', is anything those guys did worse than razazteca contributing nothing but shitty jokes or one of many awful WWE threads turning into open mic night at the comedy club? As someone else said, if I want serious discussion, I'll go somewhere else. But if you have a problem with someone, even the caliber of Leena or any of those, that's obviously what the Ignore function was made for. That is if you're enough of a puss to resort to that, but it's still better than dropping the hammer on anyone and everyone who does nothing more than be annoying or offensive to the big bad board. In the case of someone like Donny D it'll sort itself out anyway. Plus I'm with anything that takes administrator power away from admin and Mole.

I did forget about the Legends of Wrestling series. Then let's say it was his last appearance in a WWE game. With as many people WWE have under the legends deal, I've always thought Yukes could do something along those lines, provided they could tweak their engine to match. Yes, AKI is always the best possible option, but fat chance of that ever happening. They seem to have cut ties with EA and could always hook up with another publisher with which they could develop wrestling games, and I have no idea what they have planned next, but I think the most anyone could hope for at this point would be more Kinnikuman.

I see something closer to Spike for him. He shows up, gets some buzz going after denouncing Eugene and WWE, along with the opportunity to show what he can do. TNA goes on to get some use out of him for a few months, but soon enough he finds himself at home just waiting to be released. Though I've never actually seen him wrestle as Dinsmore, from what I understand he's of that Danielson or Regal mode where he can't really go and bang out a 2 minute affair. He apparently adapted as Eugene, but who knows if his style would work. Plus, while it hasn't stopped TNA from hiring people like Jeff Hardy before, if Dinsmore's release has anything to do with drugs and steroids, then with the heat starting to come down on TNA and if talks of implementing a program of their own are true, there may not be a place for him... or at least not right off the bat.

I was going to make one based on 2001 with the Star Child or maybe the Star Gate, the movie poster font, etc., until remembering I suck at this stuff.

Yeah. It's fake. His last video game appearance was in WWF Attitude.

WarioWare stage.

There are some unnecessary risks a lot of them take, but sometimes shit just happens, which seems to be the case here.

Here I thought he would be a boss. I guess he can be in another form.

I would prefer him to Sonic, but I doubt they put Knuckles in also. However, if they do include a second from Sonic, just watch it be Tails or fucking goddamn Shadow. I don't even want Sonic, honestly, and my best case scenario would be no one from the series getting in. It would be highly entertaining with everyone expecting him and getting nothing, while I sit back and laugh. Robotnik would be awesome, though. Especially after PT, if there's one thing I've come to understand, it's that the rules are out the window. Everyone expects the Ice Climbers to be cut, but due to their resurgence I almost expect the opposite. Outside of Dr. Mario, Pichu, and at least one FE character, everyone is fair game. I wouldn't even count Mr. G&W out. However, I'm not too sure about Ness and wouldn't be happy about his removal. He's popular, but there was that rumor about Lucas replacing him in Melee, which obviously never came to pass... but now that Mother 3 finally got a release, who knows. I'm expecting K. Rool and Dedede to appear as bosses in Subspace Emissary, but they are strong possibilities as playables. I believe Dedede was even intended to appear in SSB. If Y. Link/WW Link doesn't get in, who from Zelda replaces him? I've heard Skull Kid and Midna as suggestions. And reading up on Fox and Falco, there are popular considerations of Wolf O'Donnell and Krystal. I'm not a fan of her, but it would possibly mean her staff as a weapon, making for something different, and another playable female. Hopefuls. Ridley. Capt. Olimar. Tom Nook. Isaac from Golden Sun. From Capcom, Mega Man Classic or X, or Viewtiful Joe, who was made for this. Alucard or Simon Belmont. The chances are low, but Django from Boktai wouldn't be bad, and there is the Kojima link there. In any case, I believe Nintendo said to expect only one or two outsiders other than Snake... and I'd rather see them go the unexpected route and avoid Sonic, not only because it would be amusing, but because Nintendo could do better. Yeah. It's madness from here on out. Madness.

In comparison to the last two weeks, I'm sensing a boring one up ahead. Maybe a returnee is announced, perhaps a stage, but that's it.
