So WWE hired back Eugene "Nick Dinsmore" about a month ago. As of today, they released him again. But apparently it was just a way to get Miz back on RAW (he beat him on RAW as a masked wreslter for a contract on RAW) easily. WWE still wants to use "Eugene" as a trainer in FCW, and they said this is more or less a way of killing off the Eugene character if they ever need him back on TV then they can bring him back on with a new gimmick (thank god). Eugene is an extremely talented wrestler, and should be on TV. But eh, whatever.

Also, looks like Linda McMahon may run for the Senate in Connecticut. If she does, she will step down as CEO of WWE, and Vince will take over as CEO in addition to being the Chairman of WWE as he is now. So, if she does decide to run for the Senate seat, don't expect to see Vinnie Mac on TV very often after that. Unless Vince is totally desperate of course (which he is at this point).

I loved it at WM 22 (I think?) when Eugene was getting messed with by that what's his name "Muslim" wrestler (who freaking rocked btw) and Hogan came out to save him. Oh god. Awesome.

omg mohammed hassan I think it was! he was really cool and so over and guess WWE did...released him *sigh*

Yeah that was him. He was released because the TV ppl didn't like a Muslim character on TV, especially since he was slamming the US. Which is retarded. Wrestling has done those storylines a million times. Anyone remember Sgt. Slaughter turning HEEL and siding with the Iraqi staple? lolz

So, they released Hassan because 1. TV ppl wanted him off TV and 2. Creative couldn't think of a way to repackage him with a new gimmick since they knew people would always see him as that Hassan character (until he turns face that is of course). So yeah, stupid WWE. He was very talented. And for being so young (at the time) he was AWESOME on the mic to boot. He could have been the next Rock or Cena if you ask me if they worked with him.

haha yeah when he beat Hogan during the gulf war

I still can't believe they made Slaughter world champ because of that storyline lol

That's like Bob B. getting the title in the 90's for going insane that time and putting the chicken wing on what's his name lol I think he beat Bret Hart actually...yikes.

Then took on Diesel and lost in what 10 seconds?

TNA World champion Kurt Angle was arrested in Robinson Township, Pennsylvania this morning. Angle's girlfriend, TNA Knockout Rhaka Khan, filed a protection from abuse order against Angle, which was served at his home this morning. Khan reported to police that she was at a Starbucks on the internet, when she claims she saw Angle stalking her.

She called 911, and police pulled over Angle in his girlfriend's car. When police searched the car, they found a capped syringe and two vials of "Hygetropin," otherwise known as HGH. Angle told them he had a legal prescription for the drugs.

The charges against Angle include: driving while operating privilege is suspended, prohibited acts-possession, harrassment and prohibited acts.

Angle is currently scheduled to wrestle in the main event of Sunday's TNA Hard Justice Pay-Per-View.

Kurt Angle has posted bail and has been released from jail following his arraignment this afternoon. From all accounts he will be allowed to travel to Orlando for tomorrow night's PPV.

Kurt Angle has the stamina to be in WWE, but I guess he is working with TNA just because it is less tough and Kurt gets a lot more free time to do other things, which he wouldn't get working with WWE because of tight schedule.

like get arrested? :rofl:

Kurt Angle was one of the best wrestler in WWE. HHH, Angel & Stephanie storyline was so great. In TNA he sucked lol :D

Until he became Godfather of the Mafia. Still surprises me how different he looks now than he used to. It's almost like seeing a completely different person than he used to in his early days on TNA and in WWE.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
