Review of the WWE 2K17 Soundtrack

The Houston Press has published a positive review of the WWE 2K17 soundtrack, which was curated by P Diddy, and below is a review excerpt:

For a Puff Daddy soundtrack, it’s actually a fairly diverse and eclectic selection of songs. There are two French Montana songs, by French’s request, which is the least shocking of the choices, but then you have Black Sabbath right alongside him. Travis Barker and Yelawolf collaboration “Out of Control” puts in an appearance. Most surprising is probably the inclusion of Bring Me the Horizon. Granted, they’ve developed a massive following of late, but who expected Puff Daddy to know them?

Jay Lethal Reveals Which WWE Legend Told Him to Do “Black Machismo”

Current Ring of Honor Champion Jay Lethal was the special guest on episode 129 of “The Ross Report”, and during the show Lethal had the following to say on who encouraged him to do the “Black Machismo” gimmick in TNA:

“Kevin Nash actually heard me do it and he convinced me. ‘You have to do that on television. You have to. They’re not doing anything with you right now, so it’s not even like it would be that hard to do.'”

Lethal went on to say that he was nervous about doing the gimmick on TV because he didn’t want fans to think he was making fun of the late Macho Man Randy Savage, but Nash encouraged him to do it saying if anything the gimmick would get his name out there, and people remembering Savage and talking about him again.
