You are living my dream (although my dream doesn't involve MK4... at all).

Bret Hart came out on Raw the night after Canadian Stampede in an interview segment that announced 3 matches for Summerslam. Bret mentioned that "in the SummerSlam" (as was his way of speaking), he would take the title from Undertaker and that was pretty much it. I don't think it was ever really explained but heaivly implied that the Hart Foundation's victory the night before allowed this title match.

After a really good run through most of round 1, better than Character Battle's I - III's opening rounds, picking Square characters in CB IV is kicking my ass in the winding down of the opening round.

I'm down with this news.

Apparently Ducktales is on it's way, to the folks that listed that. http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3889

Hurricane returns!

Real Ghostbusters Perfect Strangers

The game got average (5.5-6.0 range) reviews in EGM... I forget the scores as I was just skimming. Anyway, If I buy this, am I going to be totally screwed by a Gems Collection+ that will have a better menu layout and a few extra games coming out for the Xbox and PS2?

On one hand I would like to lend my voice to this project. Afterall, look at what I was once called "Formerly of 411, Stephen's "Shades of Gray" column is one of the most entertaining reads on the web. He doesn't hold back as he voices his opinion on the current state of wrestling" For the life of me I have no idea who (well, I kinda do) came to that conclusion or why, but I love reading it. On the other hand, I have nothing to say.

It IS Wednesday, right?

The good doctor does not approve of copyrighted footage being distributed in such a manner, but it is not my place to hold judgment over others.

When I worked 12 hour midnight shifts in 2003 I used to call the ESRB hotline to pass the time to listen to their vilarious readings for rating descriptors. The reading for "violence" was the funniest. Sadly they ended that service.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The context was Meltzer was discussing Rock's movie roles, mentioning how people at the San-Di-Comi-Con or whatever it was popped for / enjoyed the Doom trailer but that the movie is expected to be trashed by video game players for its not from the game plot.

According to the latest WON, the 'Doom' movie is not about a gateway to Hell on Mars but actually about a virus that turns people into monsters. The hell?

I'm one of what, based on reveiws / a thread here, about 10 people who found Dukes of Hazzard to be hilarious. My friend reccomended I see it but I told him many reviews in paper, forums, and by morning radio DJs were bad. He insisted it was funny with good car stunts with "good references for fans of the show". Having lost all memory save the important stuff (read: The General) of that show from my childhood and never watching it when I was older, I'm not sure what he meant (assuming the "Freeze for narration" scenes, which I liked). In fact I would thinkg being a fan of the show would be a reason to HATE the movie, since the movie seemed to be more Stiffler and Jackass Ride the General Lee.

According to a recent Observer, at one point there was a plan that never left the drawing board for OJ Simpson vs Roddy Piper at WrestleMania XII. I guess that kinda explains the use of two year old OJ footage as a joke.

Good news: All 5 of my Raw guys had a match tonight. Bad news: 4 of them had a match against each other (Eugene/Angle which I knew, Benjamin/Masters which at least gets appearance + match points for Benjamin and some god finisher win points for Masters, and Rob Conway, who gets 2 appearance points, match points, and win points). I came really close to picking Jericho but opted to have a cheaper roster with 9 guys to see if that played out, also figuring Jericho would do nothing more than promos tonight. Well the bastard had 4 appearances, a match, and won with his finisher. I suspect he will have got the most points.

For whatever reason the Detroit market does not seem to be having a summer show this year, so I'm stuck waiting until Survivor Series. I did just read an article stating that Ford Field is lobbying for WM 23 though!

IGN reports that Mortal Kombat III will begin filming in Louisiana.

Willie was prior to WrestleMania XIX though.

Note what appears to be Lillian Garcia having an actual in-game model for ring intros. Neat. Just me, or does this look like Kurt Angle turned black and given an afro?
