Razor Ramon entrance theme
Happy Birthday to wrestling legend and another favorite of mine Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall who turns 60. This is one of those emotional milestones given Hall's personal demons in the past & it didn't look like he make it as far. He's one of those guys who's made it much longer than many thought and it's great to see especially with his generation of wrestlers.
Say Happy Birthday to The Bad Guy

Bloodlines: The 25th Anniversary of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
October 17, 2018
By Ryan Porzl
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is a unique chapter in Castlevania's history. Originally released in 1993, it was only originally released in Japan and by the time it was released internationally in 1995, it became different enough to the point where it was almost unrecognizable and it's own game. Then in 1997, it opened the door for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Strangely enough, the game whose sequel has been lauded as the greatest Castlevania game of all time was still out of reach for most of the world and would remain that way till the 21st Century when it finally started seeing re-releases. It was, in a way, like Konami's version of Mother (Earthbound Beginnings) or Street Fighter 1 in that people played the masterpiece sequel while the game that came before was almost a forgotten footnote. With the 25th Anniversary approaching on October 29th, I figure it be best to have a look at a true gem in the Castlevania series and one that in a way is one of the most important in the series' history. This article contain spoilers so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.

Wrestlers who Triple H & NXT Botched
Wrestlers who Triple H & NXT Botched
October 15, 2018
By Ryan Porzl
Though it's WWE's developmental territory, NXT has become one of wrestling's more popular promotions in recent years. It's almost become a promotion that can do no wrong with their TakeOver specials usually getting critical acclaim, their supposed ability to make stars, and taking credit for a supposed women's revolution/evolution. You even have fans wanting wrestlers to go there despite being already experienced and good enough to be on the main roster. NXT boss Triple H & NXT fans have also acted like it's a third brand that compliments RAW & Smackdown. Meanwhile, Triple H has went from being a pariah who played backstage politics, was an egomaniac, held wrestlers back, & married into the McMahon family to be the Messiah who can do no wrong, has a Midas touch, and will usher in a new golden age once he takes over from Vince. Unfortunately, Triple H and NXT aren't as infallible as one would believe and The Game has made his share of mistakes with certain talent. Over the years, NXT has been able to secure a lot of great talent but for every Finn Balor or Charlotte Flair, they're have been those that the promotion botched and should make fans go "WTF?". Here are a list of wrestlers Triple H & NXT had but either didn't make the best of or downright botched.

James Bond From Russia With Love Train Fight
Before he was the shark hunter Quint in Jaws, Robert Shaw was bad ass as SPECTRE agent Donald "Red" Grant in From Russia With Love. He also began the classic Bond trope of big strong blonde haired henchmen. One day, they should equip watches with hidden garrote wires as a defense mechanism. Get the jump on intruders.

John Barry - "007" (From Russia With Love, 1963)
Great song from the great John Barry that debuted in From Russia With Love and was to serve as a secondary theme. Sadly, "007" didn't stand the test of time as it was only used for a few films and hasn't been used in it's entirety since 1979's Moonraker.
