Various News: WB Buys Midway, Jericho Comments On Steamboat
Posted by Ashish on 07.03.2009
Some Friday news...
- Variety reports that Warner Bros. has officially bought Midway Games for $33 million. The TNA video game license was not part of the assets sold to WB though, putting the future of the TNA video game series in some shady ground for now. Check out Variety's full article here.
- The Star Bulletin has an article up about WWE's house show in Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend and features Chris Jericho commenting on facing Ricky Steamboat on the show.
"I'm looking forward to it. I don't really look at Steamboat as a legend. He's just a great performer and one of the best of all time.
It'd be like playing hockey against Wayne Gretzky -- even though he retired years ago, he's still better than half the people on the ice nowadays. Steamboat, at 55 years old, is still better than 80 percent of our roster ... (and) being from Hawaii, it's a huge deal.
It's going to be very sentimental for him and the fans, and of course I plan to spoil it and stick it in his face and all of the fans when I end the party and annihilate him in front of everyone."
"he's still better than half the people on the ice nowadays. Steamboat, at 55 years old, is still better than 80 percent of our roster"
Ouch Jericho, nice way to talk about your follow locker room mates.

As much as I like Jericho I kind of hope that Steamboat goes over in their match.

"I don't really look at Steamboat as a legend. He's just a great performer and one of the best of all time."
Now that doesn't even begin to make sense... Didn't Jericho's description of Steamboat pretty much call him a legend of pretty high order, without actually saying the word "legend"? Mind screw...
"It's going to be very sentimental for him and the fans, and of course I plan to spoil it and stick it in his face and all of the fans when I end the party and annihilate him in front of everyone."
Why Jericho is still teh awesomeness anyway. Hum-ho.

Before anyone gets all nutty about the "not a legend" comment, Jericho meant that the "legend" title is for people who are winding down or done with their profession, and Steamboat still has plenty of gas in the tank.

Jericho remained partially in character, which is why his comments came off the way they did, you idiots. Why don't you go buy some zit cream, some lube, some porn and take up your time doing something besides skulking around wrestling websites?

You dumb@sses bitch when Jericho breaks kayfabe and compliments Mysterio then you bitch when Jericho stays in kayfabe and slams Steamboat.
Would you people make up your dumb@ss minds?

Isn't Steamboat really from the Carolinas, I though tthe Hawaiian heritage was just 80's gimmick.

Jericho is the best guy on the roster!

I disagree with jericho about gretzky. If Gretzky was playing right now in his prime he wouldnt score nearly as much as he did in the 1980s

Well, hell, it probably is the truth. Steamboat is friggin awesome.

Bobby Orr is better than Gretzky.

Jeez... some people are NEVER happy!

He's not from Hawaii. His name comes from Sammy Steamboat who WAS from Hawaii so he took the location as part of the gimmick.
