Video game company THQ announced in a press release late yesterday that their expected quarterly revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 has went from $490 million to $509 million. THQ is attributing the revenue increase on â<80><9c>better-than-expectedâ<80> sales of WWEâ<80><99>s SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 video game.
WWEâ<80><99>s upcoming SmackDown/ECW house show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on March 8th will be the first time that WWE has ran a show in the city in fourteen years.
This past Tuesdayâ<80><99>s edition of ECW on Sci-Fi did a 1.3 cable rating.
The Ultimate Warrior has updated his official website with a new blog entry: In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you I have watched Brokeback Mountain no less than 45 times and I own the Limited Edition DVD, signed by Willie Nelson a short time after he wrote that queer cowboy song as a tribute to the courage of the producers and actors who broke such incredible creative ground when they made their agenda-less movie. Serious. Until I saw Bendover Brokeback, Braveheart was my favorite movie. But the love scenes of Brokeback sucked me right in and I had no choice but to give myself over to the passion of its wide open range, if you get my drift. Such courage this young man and his collaegues have. Reminds me of the courage of classic movie stars, where during the War they enlisted and flew bomber planes and fought on frontlines, then came back and picked up their lives and careers right where they left off, without anti-American sentiment, whining and complaining, or self-destructive self indulgence. Iâ<80><99>m equally inspired. Apparently, Leather Hedger had sleeping troubles and anxiety and dealt with terrible mood swings. So do soldiers but they donâ<80><99>t self-destructively f*** up their lives. In fact, they donâ<80><99>t sleep, handle anxiety and mood swings while dealing with whether or not they might at any moment lose their life. And they do this all the while they are dangerously protecting the freedom of others to f*** up their own. By the way, how many 28 (or older or younger) year old soldiers met their death yesterday? Itâ<80><99>s not easy to find out. None of them made the headlines of any news. By todayâ<80><99>s standard, though, I do have to agree that he was a great father. Perhaps even greater then the father of the year, Hulk Hogan. After all, Leather Hedger did what it took to kill himself. His kid is without a father, yes, but the negative influence is now removed and his own child has the chance for a full recovery. Hogan, on the other hand, wonâ<80><99>t go quite that far. He insists on sticking around to keep further ruining, and profiting off of, the parentally mismanaged lives of his own children. It is sad and tragic … that we donâ<80><99>t demand attention be paid to greater things.
