TOMMY DREAMER TALKS RETIREMENT, DETAILS ON NEW WWE SMACKDOWN VS. RAW VIDEOGAME AND MORE

Tommy Dreamer was interviewed by The Trentonian today to promote next week's Smackdown/ECW taping in Trenton, NJ.  When asked about retirement, the former ECW champion commented he'd like it to be in the New York City or Philadelphia area.  He also mentioned 10/28 would be the 20th anniversary of his first professional wrestling bout.  He talked in-depth about the rush of performing, noting that he recently had a bad bout of food poisoning and forgot about it when he was in the ring, then it returned when he was done and back in the locker room.  It's a pretty good read at this link.

WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh is the latest media outlet to pick up the Ben Roethlisberger Raw Guest Host story.

WWE held a chat with THQ's Jon Durr to promote the forthcoming Smackdown vs. Raw videogame.  Durr noted fans will be able to create their own storylines with the new game (as opposed to just playing ones scripted into the game) then share them with other fans online.  He said there would some new match types, including something specifically for the Divas.  Fans purchasing the game from Gamestop will be able to receive a code to download Steve Austin for the game.  There will be 16 Arenas and more backstage areas than ever before.  WWE Superstars (the show) will not be included in the game.  Announce teams for the game will be Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross & Tazz, and Todd Grisham & Striker as the commentary audio had to be recorded well in advance in order to be ready for the game.  Thanks to Chad Mosher for his help.

WWE is looking for a digital retoucher.  Is that a fancy name for blurring out the WWF logo?
