ECW Shuts Down

For the second time the ECW brand is being shuttered. The first time was when they went under and WWE bought them and now as an extension of WWE. With it closing, a new reality show called NXT will take its place.

Chris Pine for Captain America?

Pine's is the latest name to be mentioned in conjunction with the role. I say why not? I think he has the right look and could pull the role off. If Robert Downey Jr can be Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, why cant Pine be Cap and Kirk?

Portnoy and Avenged Sevenfold

A7X was left devastated following the death of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan in late December. The band is now getting ready to hit the studio and have asked Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy to sit in for the album sessions. This could be an interesting mix pending full time replacement.
