Report: Brock Lesnar finally reveals if he will ever return to WWE or not…

Leave a comment

IGN.com did an interview with Brock Lesnar since he was included as a playable character for WWE’s “12” video game, and he was asked if he’ll ever return to WWE in the future.

Lesnar said:

“It would have to be under the right circumstances. I don’t know if Mr. McMahon and I could come to the right circumstances. If it was good for me and good for him I think that we could do something. At the end of the day, my life, my character and my profession – I take them very seriously. At the end of the day, if it doesn’t help me or my family out, and it doesn’t make sense for me to do, then I don’t do it. Everything would have to fall in the right place, but would I consider it? Absolutely.” 

More on it, here.

I think it could be possible that Brock could make a WWE return in the future too. Just give it time, if Lesnar keeps losing UFC fights and if Dana puts his UFC career to an end, I’m sure he’ll want to return to WWE then.

Vince and Brock may not be in good terms now, but they can always re-negotiate.

TNA Impact, WWE news

I think I’m done with WWE for a while…

1 Comment

I think I officially gave up on WWE. Not for good. For a while at least. For the past three or four weeks, I start to watch RAW and then I switch the channel to Monday Night Football on ESPN instead. RAW got interesting for a little bit with the controversial CM Punk storyline, but it went downhill. I don’t like the new storyline going on right now where WWE superstars protest to make RAW a better show which is inspired from the Occupy Wall Street protests. WWE has been bringing a lot of kafayabe and trying to make the product seem real. Plus, this PG rating has gone too far for me. I used to have no problem with the PG rating, but it’s starting to get to me now.

I miss the old days of WWE, the Attitude Era. Those days were amazing. I miss the hardcore violence, blood, sexy women, etc. We don’t get that anymore in WWE. TNA “Impact Wrestling”, has all that now.

So I stick with watching TNA “Impact Wrestling”, every Thursday instead of WWE lately. I’m actually enjoying this Hulk Hogan vs. Sting feud. Sting as the Joker gimmick is pretty entertaining stuff. Sting is currently playing this new gimmick similar to the Heath Ledger Joker from “The Dark Knight” movie. Sting portrays the Heath Ledger, Joker pretty well. It’s pretty much dead on. I hope Sting keeps the Joker gimmick for a while.

I like TNA because that company brings back memories to the old WCW days. I like some of their wrestlers too like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Ken Anderson, and Bully Ray. Plus, TNA has better divas than the WWE, in my opinion. I like Velvet Sky, Mickie James and Miss Techsmacher.

Even though I’m starting to lose interest in WWE, I’ll always respect the performers. WWE is becoming too family friendly for my tastes, and that’s what I don’t like about it.

I like wrestling that is aimed at the adult audience where the true wrestling at, that’s why I’m starting to watch TNA more. TNA writes better storylines and has better wrestling too.

Report: First “World War Z’s” set gets raided in Budapest, and now 16 zombie actors injured on set of “Resident Evil 5”, what’s going on here?

2 Comments

There’s a bit of controversy happening at two different zombie films being shot now. The first, Brad Pitt’s “World War Z” zombie film is being filmed in Budapest and their set was raided by the Hungarian Anti-Terrorist Squad, because they are being accused of transporting real guns into the country. The film makers thought the guns weren’t working, but the Anti-Terrorist Squad, discovered they were working. Read the full story, here.

The second, the fifth installment to the, “Resident Evil”, series is being shot in Toronto. At Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto, 16 actors dressed as zombies were walking across a wheeled platform and the platform collapsed. Leaving all actors injured. Read the full story, here.

This is pretty crazy! World War Z set raided, people injured on “Resident Evil” set, Dead Island video game came out earlier this month, and “Walking Dead – Season 2” premieres this Sunday night. The world is being taken over by zombies. Maybe there is a zombie apocalypse on the way. BrrAAaaiinnnsss…

Report: Paul McCartney books international tour right after his wedding…

Leave a comment

Just the day after Paul McCartney married his new wife, Nancy Shevell, just booked himself a Fall tour overseas in support of his “Band on the Run”, re-issue.

See the tour dates here at his, facebook.

I’m pretty sure he talked about the tour with his wife beforehand, so she must be pretty cool with it. I’m also sure that she is going on tour with him as well. I don’t think they’ll be apart for the tour.

Cool Video: Tom Morrello aka “The Nightwatchman” takes over Occupy Wall Street protests in Los Angeles…

Leave a comment

Guitarist and singer, Tom Morello, you either love him or hate him. Some people hate him because they don’t like the way he sends messages about politics and all that stuff.

I absolutely love this comment CurrencyENT said in the youtube video below:

“He may have made a lot of money during his lifetime, but he also donates a lot to charities and supports many activist groups. He doesn’t live like a “rockstar”, he lives like your average blue collar worker would. He didn’t do it for the money and fame, he did it to share a message and for his love of music. Respect the man”

Whether you like Tom Morello or not, that youtuber CurrencyENT is exactly right of what he said about Tom, I agree with him. When Tom is the “Nightwatchmen” playing acoustically, he’ll play anywhere he wants to, including open mics at a small bar in your town.

I respect Tom for a lot of reasons. I like how he sends messages about politics and the world. He does a better job at it, then Bruce Springsteen, in my opinion.

In this video below, Tom is seen here performing a set in front of a crowd of protesters. He covers Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land”, and he changes the lyrics around to the song a little bit.

Tom wasn’t booked or wasn’t hired for this event. He just set up his acoustic equipment and just played. Why? Because he wanted to, that’s why! It’s no surprise that these protests would grab his attention because everyone knows Tom Morello is politically motivated.

When will Bruce Springsteen or Neil Young start performing in front of protesters? Just give it time and they’ll show up out of nowhere.

Report: Mitch Winehouse, to write a memoir on his late daughter, Amy…

Leave a comment

Mitch Winehouse, the father of Amy Winehouse, is set for a book deal by Harper Collins. The book will be titled, “Amy: My Daughter”, and it will focus on her entire life from her childhood to her singing career. It will also focus on her drugs & alcohol addiction. The book is slated for a Summer of 2012 release date.

More on the story, here.

Well, I’m sure the book will be released in the U.K. first, then the U.S. later.

The book is gonna be interesting and I will buy it when it comes out. I’m sure there’ll be a lot of trash talking at Blake Fielder Civil, ’cause I believe they never liked each other that much.

Netflix changes their mind on “Qwikster” and separating streaming/DVD rentals…

Leave a comment

The big news today is, that Netflix has announced that they are not doing the separate “Qwikster” company, that they had planned on doing. They are also not separating the Netflix streaming and DVD/Rentals, still keeping both of them in one site. Which is good ’cause I’ll admit it, I didn’t like the idea of separating them.

Even though they are not dropping the prices back to where it was, I’m glad they are not doing the Qwikster thing.

Hopefully they’ll still add a video game rental section like they promised. The price raise isn’t a big deal to me, I didn’t like the separation idea.

I love Netflix for a lot of reasons. 1) I like to catch up with all the TV shows I’ve never seen before in the past. For example, I watched all of “Lost” on Netflix, and I’m currently on “24” Season 3. There are other TV shows I want to watch on there too like “Mad Men”, “Heroes”, “Sons of Anarchy”, etc. 2) Netflix has a lot of indy films and documentaries where you can’t watch anywhere else 3) Netflix is like my home video store, I do their DVD rental thing so I can catch up with all the new releases.

Speaking of Netflix DVD rentals, I watched “Where the Wild Things Are”, the live action version of the children’s book. It was an okay movie, nothing all that special. I wanted to see the movie ’cause I loved the book as a child. The movie didn’t follow the book at all, so I didn’t care for it that much. I didn’t bother reviewing it.

Today is Eddie Guerrero’s birthday too…

Leave a comment

While the music world is celebrating Lennon’s birthday, the wrestling world is celebrating Eddie Guerrero’s. Eddie was a talented performer and wrestler, he was one of my favorites back in the Attitude Era days. I miss him on TV terribly. If Eddie was still alive today, I’m sure he would have had a great storyline feud against that new Mexican wrestler, Alberto Del Rio. RIP Eddie.

I haven’t been watching WWE for the past couple of weeks, but I still respect today’s performers, I just don’t like the PG direction.

Happy Birthday John Lennon

Leave a comment

Like most people, I’m a huge Beatles & John Lennon fanatic myself. It really is too bad that John won’t be around to see Sir Paul McCartney get married today. John would have been at his wedding for sure. John would probably even be Paul’s best man.

I hope this marriage goes well for Paul. Lets hope Nancy doesn’t do anything stupid to hurt the man like his last wife, Heather Mills did.

Best of luck, Paul.

Game Review: “Deus Ex: Human Revolution”

Leave a comment

I just finished, “Deus Ex: Human Revolution”, one of the newer games released for the PS3 not too long ago. I became interested in this game by all the great reviews this game was getting online. So I figure, I would buy it myself and give it a try.

I never heard of the Deus Ex game series before, so I didn’t realize that this is the third game of the series. “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is actually a prequel of the first game, “Deus Ex”. I think the reason I never heard of the “Deus Ex” series because the first two games were PC released only games, I believe.

“Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is about a man named, Adam Jensen, who was a former police officer and now he is a security guard working for Sarif Industries. Sarif Industries has been attacked by terrorists, and Adam is forced to get surgery to put mechanical augmentation into his body. He’s not exactly a robot or an android, he’s actually human but the mechanical augmentations helps humans survive. He was ordered by Sarif, the owner of Sarif Industries to go investigate the attack and hunt down the ones responsible for the attack.

The game is a mix of a role playing game and first person shooter. It has different styles of game play. There is, “Combat”, “Stealth”, “Hacking”, and “Social”. “Stealth” is that you must hide from guards, getting to a certain location you need to go to without getting spotted. If you get spotted by a guard, he will call for backup and they’ll try to find you. “Hacking” is when you hack into a computer to read e-mails, look through security cameras, break into rooms, etc. “Social” is when Adam is talking to a character, you get to choose what to say yourself.

To explain what augmentations are more, they are technological modifications that gives you superhuman abilities. The game is very futuristic looking in a cyberpunk world.

On with my thoughts on the game, I was very impressed with it. I think this is the best new game, I played so far in 2011. My only complaint, is that the game play graphics aren’t that great. It still made you feel like you were playing a PC or a PS2 game, but the cut scene graphics were better. Another complaint I have is that the bosses were a bit too easy.

Other than that, I had a blast playing the game. The game play was so much fun and addicting. I just couldn’t stop playing it. I loved stealth. When you first start to play the game, you’ll get confused and think it is really hard at first, but keep playing. You’ll get better and get the hang of things as time goes along.

I was most impressed with the story. The story was pretty masterful, and I hope Hollywood does a movie on this series. I also hope the gaming industry would re-release the first two “Deus Ex” games so we can catch up on them. The Adam Jensen character was one of the coolest video game characters created. I thought this game was really good. Check it out.
