Anyone Remember The Naked Brothers Band?

Because I clearly haven’t… and yet you have a bunch of copies of their PS2 video game release for sale at numerous Dollarama stores in Montreal… in 2018.

The really sad thing is that I’m not quite sure if the people running the franchise know that they have multiple copies of this ONE video game among their DVD library of children’s fare.

And in case anyone is wondering, no, I have no intention in ever purchasing a copy of this title. I never cared for music games like the old Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution series, so a one-off thing based on a Nickelodeon property I’m not familiar with that is more than like a rubbish game to begin with isn’t holding any appeal whatsoever.

The Has Been – A digital series by Amy Jo Johnson

A teaser for a proposed digital series about an aging actress whose best days are behind her and is left with endless debts. The more this video is shared, the more likely this will get funding. I don’t know how exactly that works, but the series premise shows promise and I wouldn’t mind watching something like this on a regular basis.

But only if there’s a spin-off starring JDF.

WCW/nWo Slamboree 1998

The following bit is the closing statement on my recent Elimination Chamber musings:

“A couple hours later, I load up the WWE Network and I start up an old WCW Pay-Per-View. And the first thing I see is Eric Bischoff reading a letter from Vince McMahon’s legal attorney saying that Vince wouldn’t show up. I remember this bit being completely ridiculous, but completely forgot about the bit where WCW head of security, Doug Dillinger, went out and asked if anyone had seen McMahon. In Doug’s hand was a ready-made backstage pass with Vince’s face on it. It was absurd, but also outright hilarious.

“Already, I got more entertainment value out of the first five minutes of an old WCW Pay Per View than I did three plus hours of a modern day WWE B-Level PPV. What a world.”

Let’s continue that train of thought with a full-blown musings of this “classic” WCW Pay-Per-View event, courtesy of the WWE Network, because I clearly had a good time… or did I?

WWE Elimination Chamber 2018

Fun fact: Not counting Survivor Series and Royal Rumble, this is the third straight WWE B-show that I’ve used the sleeping cat for a header. Another fun fact is that this is the first time I’ve sat down to watch a WWE B-show since Hell In A Cell left a sour taste in my mouth. Turns out I had a bit of free time and needed some background noise.

So I suppose the first noteworthy positive of having signed Ronda Rousey and advertising her on this show is that I’m watching a WWE B-level PPV for the first time in months. I assure you that has less to do with “Cold Ronda” and more to do with how WWE is going to pull off their “history making” seven man Elimination Chamber match.

Also, the women are getting an elimination chamber match. That’s also “history making” too, right?

Make note of this, folks. This is probably the last stretch of WWE B-shows that I’m going to watch before the ill-conceived notion of dual-branded ten hour B-shows come to fruition once Wrestlemania has come and gone. That means more multi-person matches and less reasons to actually give a shit about anything that’s going on. If nothing else, I’m hoping the creative ups their game… but that’s basically a fool’s hope at this point.

Anyway, on with the show…

Take Bubble Man and drain all the water and you get some of the same level with normal jumping and more frog things. As an added kick, there’s also a bit of a segment taken from Mega Man 4’s Wily Stage 1… which also happens to be devoid of water.
