Telltale Games: Teases Mr.Robot Project

If you’re a fan of Mr.Robot since the first episode like I am, this is very intriguing news. Telltale Games has a history of making games based on hit television shows. Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, CSI, and Law and Order just to name a few. More recently releasing a Batman story, which from the looks of it, is visually appealing. The choices you make in most Telltale games alters your storyline/plot. Usually available for most gaming systems at a cheaper cost than your average game. I for one, love these types of games because it gives the gamer a choice/option to choose their fate or alter their future. Similar to our daily life decisions right?

The next assignment on their agenda, seems to be related to the Emmy nominated program Mr.Robot. This show has never been so relatable and made me think so hard ever before in my life! If you don’t know what Mr.Robot is, feel free to check out my recap of Season 1 here! Recently a tweet by @ecorpmessaging, teased an E Corp app, relevant based on the fact E(vil) Corp, plays a huge role in the drama series Mr.Robot. E Corp is your everyday company trying to market and draw you into their mission statement, convincing you that the world is a better place living it their way. It would be shocking to a lot of people if this was just a coincidence. The objective in the video foreshadows a messaging app of some kind, coming to iOS and Android on August 17th, 2016. (see for yourself) Telltale Games have a gold medal waiting for them, if this creation is anything like what they have made in the past. I really, really, want a game related to Mr. Robot!! Help me out Telltale Games!! Are you a One (1) or a Zero (0)?

UFC Star Conor McGregor Hates The WWE

Conor McGregor is going to speak his mind when he wants, that is the reason we love or hate him. His latest enticing comments on the WWE prove once again, Conor is always going to be entertaining and fun to listen to. TMZ a few days ago, reported a promotion call  Conor had for UFC 202. A couple quotes from McGregor…. “for the most part those WWE guys are p****ies” , “they’re messed up p****ies if you ask me.” Also adding that he thought Brock Lesnar was “juiced to the f****n eyeballs.” (Listen to the audio here!)

Now words mean very little in today’s world, so I wouldn’t even be that surprised, if Conor showed up on Monday Night RAW anytime soon. He has every tool the WWE looks for in recruiting talent. Great mic skills, international popularity, along with a unique fighting style/look. UFC and WWE have come around as buddy-buddy in the present, so who knows what type of relationship they will have going forward. Conor said the WWE is a show business, and UFC is clearly a fight business. He did add that he believes the McMahon’s and Triple H are Dons in what they do. Personally I want to see McGregor stay in the UFC as long as possible and become a long reigning champion. He is good, entertaining and shows a lot of heart.

CM Punk and Brock Lesnar made the jump to UFC, which is a lot harder than going from UFC to the WWE. Conor has a lot of wrestlers pissed off, including the legend Ric Flair. Ric Flair tweeted out that Conor copied his persona and questioned where Conor got his antics from. Very true considering Ric Flair did it brilliantly as we all know, becoming a 16 time World Heavyweight Champion. Conor retaliated with a tweet, promising that he didn’t disrespect the WWE fans, but he would definitely destroy everyone on their roster, slapping their heads off. Roman Reigns, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho joined in with the twitter war bashing Conor McGregor.

Although after UFC 202, Conor might have to defend his words against the lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez. Eddie Alvarez came forward as of today, also reported by TMZ, telling Conor to watch what he says. Defending WWE athletes and calling them the real deal. Eddie stated that he wants the winner of the super fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.I am a fan of UFC and a fan of the WWE, so all I can see is dollar signs written all over this for both companies. The only thing that happens now is more WWE fans will watch UFC, and more UFC fans might pay closer attention to the WWE. Conor is a genius at promoting, so he might just be doing what he does best. McGregor is calling a 2nd Round TKO on Nate Diaz, who submitted Conor the first time around. Conor has made a few new enemies this past week, but the only enemy he needs to focus on is Nate Diaz at UFC 202, August 20th.

Lilian Garcia Leaves WWE

After 15 years, Lilian Garcia will no longer be our voice in WWE. In a lengthy post on Instagram August 1, 2016 Lilian Garcia announced she will no longer be working with the WWE. (view here) The main reason is because her father has been battling two different types of cancer. Lilian describes in the post that her father needs her and traveling every week with WWE, just isn’t a good idea at the moment. She has been the main voice on Monday Night RAW and Smackdown.

Personally I think this should be bigger news than people are making it out to be. Lilian has been a part of every big match in recent memory. It has been really different to hear announcers other than Lilian Garcia or Howard Finkel for me. I mention this because they actually did have a match, evening gown against tuxedo match! Look it up! How could we forget her backstage interviews with The Rock, that made everyone laugh and feel awkward? I was at WrestleMania 31 and when Paul Heyman took the mic from Lilian, to announce Brock Lesnar, of course it was awesome, but it got me thinking. Have we really appreciated the lovely voice of Lilian Garcia?

There has been numerous occasions where Lilian has been embarrassed or made fun of right in front of our faces on television. She always hangs in there and takes it, and for that she should be rewarded. I mean, being involved in a love storyline with Viscera should immediately give you a salary raise! Wrestlers have disrespected her and in some cases even injured her. Lilian always smiles and rubs it off, coming back every night introducing the matches in a professional matter.

We catch some sneak peeks of her life on Total Divas but, it leaves you wanting more. Such a nice person filled with love and compassion for the business, flying way under the radar. She has recorded albums and even sang National Anthem’s at the most prestigious arenas, such as Madison Square Garden! It is unfortunate as to why she needs to depart WWE right now, but her life may be just beginning. Clearly having a talented voice and sense for song writing. Lilian Garcia is a Hall of Famer in my view and I wish her an even better life after WWE. Lilian Garcia you will truly be missed! P.S. We all hope your Dad kicks Cancer’s ASS!

Kimbo Slice Jr. Will Make His Bellator MMA Debut!

To begin I would just like to say that when Kevin Ferguson A.K.A. Kimbo Slice died, the whole world lost a tremendous human being. Even in his backyard fights in Miami, he always made sure the other fighter was doing alright after the exchange. He had shown some promise in the octagon and no matter who he was fighting everybody was glued in watching him. And for that I thank you Kimbo Slice! R.I.P.

Everything happens for a reason, as his son Kevin Ferguson Jr. A.K.A. ‘Baby Slice’ has his eyes set on a Bellator 160 debut in August 2016. “Baby Slice” was reportedly already with the promotion Bellator prior to the passing of his legendary father. According to numerous accounts, an opponent has not been announced although no matter who it is, everyone will be on Kevin Ferguson Jr.’s side. In a post by cbssports.com ( View Here ) you can see “Baby Slice” win his first fight, ironically looking just like his father. Bellator 160 is set to put on some fireworks as the main event pits former UFC Champion Benson Henderson against Patricio “Pitbull” Freire at the Honda Center, in California. Kevin Ferguson Jr. will have a lot on his mind as we all pray and root for him come August. In a perfect script we can only hope whoever his opponent is, feels the rath of Kimbo through his son in a first round knockout! No offense to his opponent, but the stars will be shining bright on his beloved son Kevin Ferguson Jr. A.K.A. “Baby Slice.” Good Luck!

Will Ospreay Reportedly Signs WWNLIVE Contract

According to an article posted by pwtorch.com Click HERE to read it. The rising star Will Ospreay has apparently signed a contract with WWNLIVE. At Paul Heyman’s One Man Show in the U.K. over a week ago, Paul gave Will Ospreay an envelope telling him when he is done with New Japan to “give him a call.” If this turns out to be true it could open many doors for Will as he has been the hottest wrestler in the business over this past year.

Although he has some unfinished business with the man they call “Vader.” Ironically this feud started over Twitter, which nowadays doesn’t sound so weird to say. Still kind of blows my mind the attention people get from social media but that is today’s world. Vader had aggressively critiqued the match between Ricochet (Prince Puma) and Will saying matches like that will eventually kill the business and seemed more like a dance routine. Will responded with a tweet saying ” Just throwing it out there I would absolutely love to face @itsvadertime people think I hate him but i don’t, I genuinely want this match.” 

If these rumors are true and Will Ospreay does eventually become business buddies with Paul……..Heyman! I can’t even wrap my head around how excited I would be if he eventually got a gig in NXT/WWE someday. Endless possibilities and the “Pop” for his performance every night would make WWE that much better of a product. Paul Heyman is a very persuasive voice in the industry with a savvy like nobody else to negotiate. I am excited just thinking about it! Anything is possible with the shift that these wrestling companies have recently showed in their product. The first step for the hottest wrestler Will Ospreay is taking down Vader on August 12th, in the York Hall Bethnal Green at Revolution Pro’s UPRISING!

Backstreet’s Back Alright…..

This Summer boy band Backstreet Boys from the late 1990s, are releasing a brand new album. Recently the boy band has been making a few appearances that could quite possibly be seen as somewhat strategic. They have preformed on various TV shows, they sung at the Miss USA 2016 pageant and have also announced a Las Vegas residency. Nick Carter told Entertainment Tonight that the “Backstreet Boys have signed a deal with Live Nation to do a “test run” of nine shows in Las Vegas for what could become a permanent residency in the future.”

Two of the band members Nick Carter and Brian Littrell recently teased of a collaboration with the talented country duo Florida Georgia Line on each of their instagram accounts on the 27th June, announcing a single set for a late August release on the country duo’s album. Carter wrote on his instagram “Also working on the new Backstreet street album as well. Get Ready!!!”. Its been 3 years since the bands last album “In a World Like This”.

The Backstreet Boys rose to fame with their debut international album, Backstreet Boys (1996). The band have sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band in history, and one of the world’s best-selling music artists and are the first group since Sade to have their first nine albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200. They also have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which they received on April 22, 2013.

It will be interesting to see how well the new album will be received and if they have the same sound, or will we hear something new and fresh from the boy band? We will have to wait until late August to find out.
