Pro
Wrestling Manager/Advovate/GOAT Paul Heyman On WWE2K26
“I
appreciate the question and I understand where it’s
coming from, but if I were to do that, then I’m
living my own fantasy within the video game and I
don’t know if you are aware of this, I am maybe
a couple of weeks, months, maybe even a year or two
older than the typical gamer that’s out there
today.
“So
because of that I try not to play to my own fantasy
booking, I try to play to the audience’s fantasy
booking, and not just the WWE audience, but the video
game audience itself. ‘Cause I would like to
steal people from other video game franchises. I like
to entice people to not play Fortnite, but to play
WWE 2k26. I would like to entice people to not play
Call of Duty, but to play WWE 2k26.
“So
it’s not just a matter of, ‘Ooh, what would
happen if I put Lou Thesz and Bruno Sammartino and
Brock Lesnar in a triple threat match together?’
It’s more of, ‘What can appeal to today’s
gamer audience? What appeals to that crowd? What can
I do to tickle their fancy, to entice their imagination?’
Not just live out my own fantasies that I would have
trouble booking for whatever different reason in today’s
environment, including Thesz versus Sammartino versus
Lesnar.” Paul Heyman

Brady Jabs Logan Paul in WWE-Flag Football Feud
The
playful rivalry kicked off on Brady's Impaulsive podcast
appearance, where he called Paul's WWE flips 'cute'
compared to the real competition of his Fanatics Flag
Football Classic on March 21 in Saudi Arabia, featuring
stars like Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey.
Paul hit back, claiming most NFL players would flop
in a WWE ring and questioning Brady's athletic credentials
despite his seven Super Bowls. Fans divide along lines,
with NFL loyalists eyeing wrestling's scripted side
while WWE backers highlight its high-flying risks,
as both worlds boast crossover athletes like Brock
Lesnar.

a spot in the Women's Elimination Chamber on February

Notes
Casino
(TV series / mini-series) Casino (1995–1997):
A famous five-part American television mini-series
directed by Martin Scorsese, sometimes referred to
as the “Casino trilogy/series” informally
because it completes Scorsese’s unofficial mafia
trilogy (along with Goodfellas and Casino the movie).
However, it’s not actually a traditional TV series
but a long-form film released in parts in some countries.
More
commonly, people just mean the 1995 film Casino itself
when they say “Casino series.”
News
Casino
(1995) – Martin Scorsese Film & Its Informal
"Series"
The

starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone,
is often grouped with Scorsese’s other mafia/gangster
films as an unofficial trilogy:
Goodfellas
(1990) Casino (1995) The Irishman (2019)
Fans
and critics frequently refer to these three as Scorsese’s
“Casino trilogy” or “mob series,”
even though they are not direct sequels.

The
Late Mail ...
Coyote
vs. Acme
Coyote
vs. Acme is an upcoming live-action/animated legal
comedy film directed by Dave Green, based on the Looney
Tunes character Wile E. Coyote and Ian Frazier’s
1990 New Yorker article of the same name. The film
stars Will Forte as Kevin Avery, Wile E. Coyote’s
lawyer, and John Cena as Buddy Crane, the Acme Corporation’s
attorney, with Lana Condor, P.J. Byrne, Tone Bell,
Martha Kelly, Luis Guzmán, and Eric Bauza (voicing
multiple Looney Tunes characters) in supporting roles.
The story follows Wile E. Coyote, frustrated by Acme’s
faulty products in his pursuit of the Road Runner,
hiring a down-and-out attorney to sue the corporation,
facing off against his lawyer’s intimidating
former boss. Development began in 2018, with filming
in New Mexico from March to May 2022. Initially shelved
by Warner Bros. Discovery in November 2023 for a $30
million tax write-off, the decision sparked backlash,
leading the studio to allow the filmmakers to seek
other distributors. Ketchup Entertainment acquired
the rights in March 2025 for $50 million, and the
film is now set for a theatrical release on August
28, 2026. The movie blends nostalgia with modern storytelling,
featuring cameos from Looney Tunes characters like
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Tweety, and has been praised
for its humor, heart, and visual style, drawing comparisons
to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. (Grok)

to balance the games’ playful, over-the-top style
with modern cinematic flair, learning from past adaptations’
mistakes.
Production:
Filming is set to begin in September 2025 in Australia,
with WWE stars Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns scheduled
to film from September 2, with Reigns on set until
late September.
Expectations:
The diverse cast, including action stars, wrestlers,
and musicians, suggests a bold, eclectic approach.
Fans hope it captures the game’s vibrant characters
and fighting spirit, avoiding the pitfalls of earlier
films.
Additional
Notes
Other
Adaptations: Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
(1994) is a well-regarded anime adaptation, closer
to the game’s tone and often preferred by fans.
Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist (2014) is a live-action
web series focusing on Ryu and Ken’s early years,
also better received than the live-action films.
Sentiment
on X: Posts on X reflect mixed feelings about the
1994 film, with some calling it entertainingly bad
but not on the level of cult classics like The Room.
The upcoming reboot generates cautious optimism, with
excitement for the cast but skepticism due to past
failures.
Critical
Perspective: The 1994 film’s campy style and
deviation from the game’s tournament focus (e.g.,
no Hadokens or special moves) disappointed purists,
while the 2009 film’s gritty approach failed
to capture the franchise’s charm. The 2026 reboot
has a chance to succeed by embracing the games’
colorful, exaggerated tone, but it must navigate the
challenge of translating a fighting game’s minimal
plot into a compelling narrative. (Grok)

News
Hulk
Hogan: News
Hogan’s
legacy includes his role in popularizing professional
wrestling in the 1980s, headlining the first WrestleMania,
and becoming a cultural icon through media like “Rocky
III” and “Hogan Knows Best.” His controversial
moments, including a 2015 scandal involving racist
remarks and a lawsuit against Gawker, also shaped
his later years. He was active in politics, notably
endorsing Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Hulk
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea ... passed
away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71. His death
was due to a heart attack, as confirmed by a Florida
medical examiner’s report, with contributing
factors including a history of atrial fibrillation
and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Tributes
followed from wrestling figures like Ric Flair, Triple
H, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as well
as public figures like Donald Trump and Florida Governor
Ron DeSantis, who declared a “Hulk Hogan Day”
in Florida, with flags flown at half-staff. Some posts
on X speculated about undisclosed health issues, with
one claiming his therapist suggested the death certificate
might not fully reflect his condition, though no autopsy
details have confirmed this. (Grok)

its reboot on Amazon Prime Video, announced in 2025.
The revival is hosted by WWE superstar Mike “The
Miz” Mizanin, with Rocsi Diaz as sideline reporter

The
series will blend new events with classics like “Gauntlet,”

Two seasons have reportedly been filmed, though no
premiere date is confirmed.
A
24/7 American Gladiators FAST channel with original
episodes is also available on Prime Video, and a Live

2025.
Concerns
about potential tension between WWE and AEW talent

News
UFC
Movie News
No
other major UFC movie projects have been reported
recently. Brawler stands out as the primary UFC-branded
cinematic effort, leveraging the organization’s
direct involvement and Snyder’s bold directorial
style. Zack Snyder’s ‘Brawler’: Zack
Snyder is directing a UFC-themed drama titled Brawler,
in collaboration with UFC CEO Dana White and Turki
Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General
Entertainment Authority and owner of The Ring magazine.
The film follows a young fighter from Los Angeles
rising through the UFC ranks while battling personal
struggles, aiming for a championship. Snyder is co-writing
the screenplay with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad,
and producing alongside Deborah Snyder and Wesley
Coller under their Stone Quarry banner. Filming may
include real UFC events in Las Vegas and Riyadh, promising
authenticity. No official cast or release date has
been confirmed, but rumors suggest Adam Driver could
lead, with potential cameos from UFC figures like
Dana White, Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier.
The film is expected to blend Snyder’s signature
visual style—slow-motion, gritty combat—with
a grounded, emotional narrative, potentially setting
it apart from other MMA films like Warrior or the
Road House remake. A release is tentatively eyed for
2026.
Dwayne
Johnson’s ‘The Smashing Machine’: Directed
by Benny Safdie for A24, this UFC film wrapped filming
early in Vancouver. It focuses on MMA legend Mark
Kerr, with Dwayne Johnson starring. Unlike Brawler,
it’s a biographical drama, not a fictional story,
and has no direct UFC organizational involvement.
The film has generated buzz for its intense portrayal
of Kerr’s life and career. No specific release
date has been announced, but it’s expected to
hit theaters soon given the completed production.
Other
UFC-Related Projects: Former UFC fighter Keith Jardine
has ventured into filmmaking, writing and directing
a horror movie called Kill Me Again, which is currently
in theaters. While not a UFC-centric film, Jardine’s
MMA background ties it to the sport’s community.
Additionally, a Jordan Peele-produced film Him features
former UFC and PFL heavyweight Maurice Greene, indicating
UFC fighters’ growing presence in Hollywood.
Sentiment
on X: Posts on X reflect excitement for Brawler, with
fans noting its potential for UFC fighter cameos and
heavy promotion by the UFC. Some see it as a fresh,
grounded direction for Snyder compared to his superhero
and sci-fi work. There’s also chatter about UFC’s
broader media moves, like a potential Netflix deal
for TV rights, which could amplify projects like Brawler.

New
Cyberpunk Animated Series on Netflix
Based
on the latest information available up to September
19, 2024, Netflix, in collaboration with CD Projekt
Red, has confirmed the development of a new animated
project within the Cyberpunk universe. Here's what
we know:
Announcement:
During Geeked Week, Netflix teased this new project,
hinting at a "return to Night City," which
suggests it will be set in the same universe as "Cyberpunk:
Edgerunners" and "Cyberpunk 2077."
Project
Details: While it's confirmed to be set in the Cyberpunk
universe, specifics like whether it will be a direct
sequel or a new story entirely, akin to "Edgerunners"
but with a different narrative or characters, remain
undisclosed. There's been no confirmation if this
is an "Edgerunners Season 2," though the
nature of the announcement leaves room for speculation.
Reception
and Context: The original "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners"
series was well-received, contributing to a surge
in interest back towards "Cyberpunk 2077."
This positive reception might influence the new project's
direction, aiming to leverage the existing fanbase
while expanding the universe's lore.
Teasers
and Speculation: From posts on X (formerly Twitter),
there's excitement and speculation among fans. The
mention of "another animated series set in the
Cyberpunk 2077 universe" and teases about exploring
new stories in Night City suggest a continuation or
expansion of the thematic elements fans enjoyed in
"Edgerunners."
Release
Information: As of now, no release date or further
detailed plot information has been shared. Netflix
and CD Projekt Red have promised more details at a
later date, keeping the community in anticipation.
This
new venture into the Cyberpunk animated series by
Netflix represents a commitment to exploring more
narratives within this dystopian world, potentially
tapping into different aspects of Night City's lore,
characters, or even new tech developments within its
universe. While fans eagerly await more concrete details,
the announcement itself has reignited discussions
and excitement around what new stories might unfold
in one of the most visually and narratively rich settings
in recent sci-fi history. (Grok)

First
Look: Fans have been treated to behind-the-scenes

least part of the season. The show also features new
cast members and promises to expand on the existing
characters' stories.

Teases: While specific plot details are being kept
under wraps, Jenna Ortega has hinted at incredible
set pieces, suggesting visually richer environments
or significant events that might tie into unresolved
cliffhangers from Season 1, like the transformation
and fate of Tyler.
Themes
and Tone: There's an indication that Season 2 will
continue to focus on Wednesday's journey of self-discovery
and her relationship dynamics, particularly her attempt
to carve out her path away from her family's influence.
Additionally, the emphasis will be on horror over
romance, aligning with Ortega's comments about avoiding
forced romantic narratives.
Production:
Filming for Season 2 commenced in May 2024, with locations
including Ireland, signaling a potentially broader
or different setting for some of the storylines.
Release:
The series is set to return in 2025, maintaining the
suspense and anticipation among fans who are eager
for more of Wednesday Addams's dark-hearted adventures
at Nevermore Academy and beyond.
The
excitement around "Wednesday" Season 2 is
palpable, with fans and critics alike looking forward
to how the series will expand on its established gothic
universe while introducing new elements of horror
and mystery. (Grok)
News
Based
on the information available up to September 19, 2024,
here are some updates and insights regarding Netflix:
Pricing
and Plans: Netflix offers several subscription tiers,
with the most basic ad-supported plan starting at
$6.99 per month, which allows streaming on two devices
in 1080p. The ad-free plans include Standard for $15.49
per month, which also supports streaming on two devices
at 1080p, and Premium for $22.99 per month, which
ups the ante to four simultaneous streams at 4K resolution.
There's also an option to add extra member slots for
an additional cost.
Content
Updates: Netflix continues to add new TV shows, movies,
and original content regularly. Recent or upcoming
releases as of September 2024 include a variety of
genres from survival dramas to supernatural horror,
indicating Netflix's broad content strategy remains
intact.
Event
and Announcements: There was an event around the time
of inquiry where Netflix planned to reveal updates
on several highly anticipated series such as "One
Piece Season 2", "Wednesday Season 2",
"Black Mirror Season 7", "Squid Game
Season 2", "Stranger Things", a "Devil
May Cry" anime, and "Avatar: The Last Airbender
Season 2". This event underscores Netflix's commitment
to both continuing popular series and exploring new
avenues like anime.
User
Interaction and Features: Netflix provides a service
where content can be downloaded for offline viewing,
which is particularly useful for viewers on the go
or in areas with unreliable internet. The platform's
user interface also includes features like profiles
for kids with parental controls, and recommendations
that improve with more viewing data.
Market
Sentiment and Discussions: From X posts, there's considerable
excitement and discussion around Netflix's content
strategy, with users and media outlets focusing on
new releases, price changes, and the platform's approach
to both original content and licensed material.
Cost
Considerations: There's mention in discussions about
how Netflix's cost has nearly doubled for some users,
reflecting the ongoing debate on the value of streaming
services versus their cost, which might influence
subscriber behavior and expectations for content quality
and quantity.
Subscription
Model: Netflix emphasizes its month-to-month subscription
model, which allows users to cancel anytime without
long-term contracts or cancellation fees, providing
flexibility which is often appreciated in the dynamic
streaming market.
Given
these points, Netflix in 2024 continues to evolve,
focusing on a diverse content library, enhancing user
experience through technology and personalization,
while facing the usual industry challenges like pricing
satisfaction and content competition. The platform's
strategy appears to blend global appeal with niche
interests, aiming to cater to a broad audience while
also pushing the boundaries with original programming.

Media
Man Editors: Massive few months for Netflix. Also
mark down Terminator: Zero, The Queen Of The Villains
and Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson (November 2024). And don't
forget WWE Raw hits Netflix in January 2025. And even
the official WWE Vault YouTube channel has plugged
Netflix, and specifically "Dump", while
uploading some classic Japanese pro wrestling matches
to their own platforms.

The
big streamers have been cutting their original content
output
Where
did all the new shows go?
By
Tom Jones
Seasons
change
If
you’ve been mindlessly scrolling through streaming
services and have been feeling even less enthused
than usual, you may not be entirely to blame: almost
all major US streamers have been cutting their original
TV output this year, according to new analysis from
Variety.
From
content monolith Netflix, which released 203 original
shows in the first half of 2023 compared with 174
in H1 ‘24, to Disney+, which has halved its already-slim
original TV library as it continues an apparent shift
to quality over quantity, shrinkage has hit the streaming
world hard. Indeed, of the 8 major streamers Variety
studied from Luminate data, only Max and Peacock maintained
their output level year over year.
All
told, the number of original seasons fell 19% at the
8 streamers tracked.
For
a while, it seemed we might float forever on an endless
stream of new series, as companies competed to supply
viewers who’d become accustomed to basking in
the Golden Age of Television. However, the financial
reality of producing content in an increasingly-competitive
arena where margins are tight and churn rates are
growing is becoming apparent.
It’ll
be interesting to see how streamers’ original
show libraries stack up in the latter half of this
year compared to H2 2023, when original production
tallies at some major players began to reflect the
effects of the extended Hollywood strikes. (Credit:

Letter:
“our
biggest update in a decade.”
“This
new interface provides more visible title information
at a glance — including synopsis, genre and ratings”
“Title
previews are also larger and more dynamic, with more
immersive trailers and bigger box art to make browsing
easier. We’ve also simplified the navigation
bar and moved it to the top of the page to create
quicker, easier short cuts. And this new design includes
My Netflix, which has everything members have saved
or watched and was previously only available on mobile.”
“The
challenge for so many of our competitors is that while
they are investing heavily in premium content, it’s
generating relatively small viewing on their streaming
services and linear continues to decline”
“we
believe our biggest opportunity is winning a larger
share of the 80%+ of TV time (primarily linear and
streaming) that neither Netflix nor YouTube has today.”
“This
has driven industry leading penetration, engagement
and retention for us, which limits the benefit to
Netflix of bundling directly with other streamers”

Japanese
Female Pro-Wrestling Drama Series ‘The Queen
of Villains’ Premieres September 19
How
did one woman whip Japan into a frenzy? Launching
on September 19, The Queen of Villains unveils the
story of Dump Matsumoto, the most terrifying “heel”
during the golden age of women’s pro wrestling
in Japan. Spanning five episodes, the series explores
the events that led to her rise decades ago.
From
the ‘70s to the ‘80s, female pro-wrestling
tag teams like “Beauty Pair” (Jackie Sato
and Maki Ueda) and “Crush Gals” (Chigusa
Nagayo and Lioness Asuka) became national icons. They
captivated Japan not only by competing but also by
singing and dancing in the ring. On the other side
of this was Dump Matsumoto, the sworn rival of the
“Crush Gals.” She made all of Japan her
enemy, wreaking havoc in and outside of the ring.
But once upon a time, young Dump Matsumoto was told
she was too kind to be a villain. What events made
her one of the most disliked figures in Japanese wrestling
history?
Bringing
these iconic female wrestlers to life is a talented
cast chosen through auditions:
Multi-talented
comedian Yuriyan Retriever portrays Dump Matsumoto.
Erika
Karata (Desert of Namibia) plays Chigusa Nagayo, who
starts as a failed wrestling trainee but eventually
rises to stardom.
Ayame
Goriki (Watashi ga Ore no Jinsei?!) portrays Lioness
Asuka, known for being the most athletic and technical
wrestler among her peers.
The
renowned Osamu Suzuki developed, wrote, and produced
the series. After hearing Matsumoto talk about the
women’s pro wrestling era on his show, Suzuki
was inspired to turn her story into a series and wrote
the screenplay himself. Kazuya Shiraishi (The Devil’s
Path, The Blood of Wolves, Lesson in Murder) serves
as the supervising director, while Chigusa Nagayo
herself led the actors’ physical training and
presided over the wrestling scenes.
Watch
the rise of these women to fame and the lessons their
journeys hold today. The Queen of Villains premieres
globally on September 19, only on Netflix.

Logline:
The Queen of Villains unveils the untold story of
Dump Matsumoto, a professional wrestler who ignited
a boom in women's wrestling in the 1980s with her
cult-like following. Unlike the iconic “Crush
Gals” duo, Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka,
Matsumoto made her mark as the most famous heel. Dominating
television screens, they became a cultural phenomenon,
captivating Japan. (Credit: Netflix)
Media
Man: Pumped for Dump. We used to bring in VHS tapes
of Dump and her associates into Australia in the late
80s and early 90s. One of the greatest women pro wrestlers
of all time. The killer heel and queen bee of the
ring. Netflix makes a killer and smart move in delivering
this gem to the global audience. This will more than
satisfy the cast majority of pro wrestling and fight
fans, and we as those who love the hero vs villain
scenario - a base of storytelling. Shakespearean and
a beautiful violence. This is pop culture history.
