Brian Webster sent the following....I just got around to watching Monday night's @Midnight on Comedy Central. It's a game show hosted by Chris Hardwick where 3 comedians compete for points in various games. Their most popular game, which they play every episode, is called #HashtagWars where they are given a Twitter Hashtag and have 60secs to buzz in with as many funny answers as possible that fit the topic. Anyway Monday's topic in honor of the WWE Network announcement was #WrestlingTVShows. The answers given were as follows: CM Punk'd, How I Body Slammed Your Mother, Hulk Hogan's Heroes, Jake the Snake and the Fat Man, Randy Macho Man vs Wild, The 6 Million Dollar Macho Man, Jerry Lawler and Order, Brock Lesnar's Tickle Party (which isn't a play on an actual show but was given points anyway because it was funny), Remmington Steele Cage Match, 2 Men and a Man We Broke in Half, Triple H.R. Pufnstuf, Owen Hart to Hart and Broken Spinefeld. The game then moves on to Twitter where fans of the show continue giving their answers to the hashtag with the best one being shown on the following episode. The winning fan tweet which was shown on Tuesday night's episode was Mr Perfect Strangers which they showed and even followed with a graphic of what it would look like featuring a picture of Balki and Cousin Larry with Curt Hennig in the middle and emboldened with the Mr Perfect Strangers logo written in the style of the original show.

Former WWE star Zach Gowen was the guest on the second episode of Kevin Gill's podcast, discussing a documentary he is putting together on his life, the moment his father decided to come see him after 16 years while Gowen was making a public WWE appearance, Vince McMahon "saving his life", his own personal issues and much more. It's a really good read at www.KevinGillShow.com.

Former WWE Diva Debra is now on Twitter at @WWEDivaDebra.
