    I happen to have this video burned onto DVD, which is from the actual 1986 home video. The event was hosted in the broadcast booth by Gorilla Monsoon, "Luscious" Johnny V., and Ernie Ladd. All 3 of these guys are in the WWE Hall of Fame. The match I'm watching at the moment is King Tonga vs. Don Moraco. Johnny Valliant, of course, is my favorite heel manager/color commentator of all time behind Bobby Heenan. Johnny V. is the one guy that I find more entertaining than Heenan, probably because of his comedic New York City accent. I think he cut a great backstage promo at Wrestlemania 3. I think Gorilla Monsoon had 2 great heel commentators to work with in Heenan and Valliant. Has anyone else watched The Big Event from the WWF in 1986?

    I hate to burst your bubble, Todd (because I can tell you realllly want the Popeye and Snoopy games) but license issues with copyrighted characters seem to either be a hurdle or a deterrent for publishers. The only NES game with such characters available, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is also the only US NES game that costs 600 points. So what I'm saying is that while it may be possible, the chances are very slim.

     

    By the way, I remember playing the Popeye game as a child. A gas station near my granddad's house had the arcade game, too. So I share your affinity.

     

     

    That's a good point. But, I still think that if they could get those issues settled long enough to add a game like Popeye to the Wii store long enough for me to get a hold of it, it would definately make my collection complete. (for all the retro NES games I have left, at least)

     

    I really enjoy playing NES game series like Donkey Kong & Super Mario Bros. But, not as much as games like Pinball & Mario Bros. Pinball happens to be one of those few games in which the sole playing purpose is to gain a shitload of points while you play, and beat your highest score.

     

    As for Mario Bros., I'd have a really tough time trying to find a second player to play Luigi as I play Mario. That's the one thing that makes the original Mario Bros. game so great, getting to see both Mario & Luigi in action.

    Well, for the NES section of the Wii store, they have just about all the best retro games to download. I think they could complete their vast array of selections for NES if they only added the Popeye game.

    Is there by any chance a way to send a request to the people who run the Wii Shooping Center network to add more games to the categories, such as NES? I'd like for them to add some more retro games to the network, such as Popeye & Snoopy for NES.

    A member of Graham Cawthon's message board is saying that WWE.com had reported that John Cena has been suspended for 30 days. He said that he saw the report on the WWE website. However, I've checked WWE.com, and it's nowhere on there. Now, that news might've been put up on the WWE website, but taken down for some reason. I'm trying to find out if there's any truth to this current WWE rumor of Cena being suspended, right now. The only way to find out if this rumor is true is if WWE.com puts it back up, or not. If they don't put it back up on WWE.com, and if Cena continues onward to Wrestlemania, this year, then maybe he's not getting suspended, and the webmasters of WWE.com might've made a mistake. If he is getting suspended for 30 days, then he might've violated the wellness policy, which might explain Cena losing the gold to Edge, tonight.

    that doesn't look a damn thing like Randy Orton

     

    *****

     

     

    Hmm, are we talking about that old "Sensable Orton" thing, or what?

     

     

    Anyway, I think that tonight's PPV was quite unique, what with where they went tonight with Edge. I personally would like to see Edge get moved back to RAW, because of him winning the World Heavyweight Title tonight after losing the WWE Championship. I'm thinking that they could make a ruling that since the World Heavyweight Title is currently the property of RAW, that they could "convert Edge's contract" from SmackDown! to RAW.

     

    Just my two cents.

    Well, we all know that Vince loves his Hosses, and doesn't give a damn about giving the fans a great match in the main event. So, what he did was create two main events for No Way Out.

     

     

    One EC will be full of Hosses (Bah Gawd), and the other will be full of guys that can actually put on a great match. Vince can have a main event to make HIM happy. (Hosses)

     

    And the RAW main event can something that all the fans can be proud of. Probably a win-win situation for both parties. The WWE Universe and Vince McMahon.

     

     

    *actually turns into Shawn Valloric*

     

     

    Jericho had BETTER FUCKING WIN BACK THE TITLE, OR I'LL FUCKING KILL WWE!

     

    Ok, no more BS. That's just my theory. A win-win situation.

     

    Why would Jericho win back the title a month before Wrestlemania when Orton has the title shot?

     

    Come on JN News, I know you are so much smarter than that.

     

     

    That was merely myself doing yet another impersonation of the actual Shawn Valloric from Wrestlepalooza.com. Of course, John Cena is gonna win the RAW EC. We all know that don't we?

     

    The bottom line is that Cena vs. Orton is gonna happen for the WHC at Wrestlemania.

     

    And Vince is gonna cream himself for his own Hossinized EC for SmackDown!

    From reading this the SD EC match for the PPV looks way more interesting than Raw's version. Does anyone give Rey or Kingston a shot in that match? On SD at least they have HHH, Big Show, Taker along with Edge.

     

    One will have Hoss brutality and the other will have innovative flippy-shit.

     

     

    Well, you know that with JR being on SD!, now, and with the SD! EC being "Hossinized", at least someone's gonna "mark out".

     

    (Bah Gawd)

    I would like to get the opinions of others on who should be and who shouldn't be in the game. This is going to be a definate purchase for me.

     

     

     

    IF The Big Bossman and Goldberg are gonna be included in this game, and I hope they will be, I'm gonna have a match were Bossman beats Goldberg in the ring at a Wrestlemania, so that we can have 101 Reasons why Bossman is better than Goldberg.

    Terry and Dory Funk are going in as well. I wonder if Foley would be welcomed back to induct Terry. However if the Funk's are going in together like this, maybe they'd choose somebody connected to the both of them from back in the day.

     

     

    Maybe either Tommy Dreamer or Dusty Rhodes, perhaps.

     

     

    I'd personally push for Dusty, because of his well-documented history with The Funks in the old NWA.

    Well, giving that I've downloaded all that I want from the Wii store, the only games I'd like to see added to their NES wing is "Popeye" and "Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular", because Popeye has always been an all-time favorite for me, and the Snoopy game has always held a special place in my heart.
