    Dr. Wagner, Jr. will be on the cover of AAA: Heroés del Ring. I know this because I saw him win a lucha libre match on the E3 show floor a few hours ago.

    E3 2010: Hands-on with the surprisingly good AAA: Heroés del Ring

    Rather than use E3 to pile on the mountains and mountains of hype of the big-bidget titles, I've elected to sprinkle through our coverage the small little gems that might otherwise go unnoticed. First on the docket is AAA: Héores del Ring a lucha libre (Mexican-style higly-flying pro-wrestling) game that'll hit your Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PSP on August 10 of this year. I had some quality time with it this morning and I can say this: I left the booth absolutely shocked at how thorough the game is.

    Video: Chikara has a video game?!

    Posted on April 27, 2010 | No Comments
    I truly have seen everything now. Apparently Chikara, the Philadelphia-based pro-wrestling promotion that mixes lucha libre, puroresu, and general tomfoolery will be releasing its very own video game, Rudo Resurrection. ("Rudo" means "bad guy" in lucha libre lingo.) Absolutely zero details have been announced other than that it will be available for "multiple platforms."

  • DVRs, more mature Internet will prevent TNA from re-igniting the Monday Night Wars against WWE

    DVRs, more mature Internet will prevent TNA from re-igniting the Monday Night Wars against WWE

    The best numbers I could find suggest that 30 percent of homes in the U.S. have access to a DVR. That doesn't seem like a lot, no, but it's already had an undeniable impact on the way TV studios evaluate their shows. Lost, The Office, and The Ultimate Fighter all saw their final ratings boosted after taking into account delayed DVR viewings. That means that just because a show doesn't have killer overnight ratings doesn't mean plenty of people aren't watching—they're just watching a little while later.

    Japan and its alarm clocks. We just blogged the bizarre Clockman on Monday, but major Japanese toy maker Banpresto's two new models aren't too normal either. The company has designed alarm clocks using wrestling and boxing gongs as the design motif. The idea actually kind of makes sense but is cruel at the same time.
