Posted on June 17, 2010 | No CommentsThis was truly a life-changing moment. Pro-wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes was at THQ's E3 booth today promoting the upcoming release of WWE All Stars and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011. And wouldn't you know it, he told me to beat it! Yes~!

E3 2010: Hands-on with the surprisingly good AAA: Heroés del Ring
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No CommentsRather 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.

WWE finally has a YouTube account (and with full episodes)
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsI must be seeing things... is that an official WWE YouTube page, and one that already has last night's episode of Monday Night Raw online? This is so unlike WWE, embracing technology. They must have hired someone new in recent weeks, someone who told them that, you know, the Internet isn't merely for “geeks” anymore.

WWE Latest: Two years after App Store launch, WWE launches 1st iPhone App
Posted on April 19, 2010 | No CommentsIt took WWE almost two years to release an iPhone App, but here we are. That's right, today the company, which fancies itself as some sort of catch-all, cutting-edge entertainment juggernaut, has bequeathed upon the world WWE Latest, a 99 cent App for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's fairly basic, but should help those of you itching for, I don't know, Diva photos or Raw results. You do know your iPhone has a perfectly viable Web browser, right?

WWE SmackDown moves to SyFy: Remember when they used to have science fiction?
Posted on April 14, 2010 | No CommentsExciting—and confusing—TV news for y'all. For whatever reason, SyFy, once upon a time known as the Sci-Fi Channel, has agreed to air WWE Friday Night SmackDown! beginning in October. SyFy already airs WWE NXT (remember: we are wild and young), but now SmackDown? When did SyFy betray its roots of terrible alien movies and Stephen King movies?

Hulk Hogan gets his own show on Sirius XM, brother
Posted on April 9, 2010 | No CommentsWhatcha gonna do, brother, when you sign a one-year contract with TNA Wrestling, but still want to keep your name in the news? You get a radio show on Sirius XM, of course, dude. That's right: starting this Monday, you, me, and anyone else with Sirius XM will be able to hear Hulk Hogan—wait, wait, Terry (I forgot, I'm shooting just like they do in TNA)—at 7pm ET on Howard 101. It's called "Hulk Hogan: Uncensored," and I'm looking forward to hearing him explain how he wrestled more than 400 nights per year back in the 1980s. Yes, he actually claimed that in his latest book. Ridiculous.

PAX East 2010: In which we talk to a dude wearing a WWE belt for some reason
Posted on March 26, 2010 | No CommentsOK, so PAX may be crawling with people dressed as Chris Redfield and, um, Generic Skimpy Outfit Female, but it takes a certain kind of geek to walk around with a WWE championship belt. I use the word “geek” with all due respect, of course: we're all geeks here at PAX.

Ring of Honor figures out the Internet, launches video download store to discourage BitTorrent piracy
Posted on March 10, 2010 | No CommentsCredit to Ring of Honor, the professional wrestling promotion, for embracing the Internet era. The promotion has launched a new download store that makes its extensive video library only a $10 download away. A legal download, mind you. It's all a fan could ever ask for.

DVRs, more mature Internet will prevent TNA from re-igniting the Monday Night Wars against WWE
Posted on February 16, 2010 | No CommentsThe 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.

UFC targets online piracy. Let’s just hope it doesn’t go all RIAA on us.
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No CommentsIt's been a running theme for the past few years, and as more and more people get faster Internet connections, and as video compression technology continues to improve, we're going to be hearing a lot more about it. I refer, of course (of course!), to illegal streams of live sporting events. Whether you're firing up TVAnts on Sunday to watch Arsenal take on Aston Villa, or trolling USTREAM for a live feed of WWE's Royal Rumble, or looking for MMA-TV to watch this month's UFC pay-per-view, you are, in fact, breaking the law. Not only are you breaking the law, but you may even be taking money away from the companies/teams/sports you purport to support. But is that all there is to it?

Wipe out Internet piracy, get a ratings boost? Not if you’re WWE.
Posted on August 14, 2009 | No CommentsSo here's an interesting look at Internet piracy you may well enjoy. The English Premier League complained the other day that illegal Web streams of live games (from Justin.tv and the like) were eating into its profits. No profits, no Premiership, was the implied threat. Then explain this to me: WWE ran a pay-per-view event in June called The Bash, and it marked the first time the company aggressively pursued illegal Web streams (again, from Justin.tv, Ustream, etc.). According to the company's recently released financials, by way of the latest Wrestling Observer newsletter, The Bash was the third least purchased pay-per-view event “in years.”

Gillette, with 83 blades per razor, has John Cena and Chris Jericho shooting about how great shaving is
Posted on July 21, 2009 | No CommentsOh now this is rich. Gillette—I think they're up to 44 blades per razor now—has teamed up with WWE to promote the dark art of male grooming. Why should you care? I don't know, perhaps you enjoy “social networking” and all that? Maybe you still watch WWE, long after The Rock quit, and long after Triple H... nope, wait, he's still main eventing (with the exact same gimmick, no less). You can listen to the likes of John Cena, Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes cut shoot promos, à la RF Video, about how using Gillette makes them confident.
