As Dreamers Do Part Deux

(Would have) loved the guy in Snow Queen as Olaf. What IS he doing here?
Funny Scouse snowman for the role, haha! Think the POD for him since the 1970's so far that he ends up in voice acting which considering his amazing talents of doing various voices as with OTL, mostly his Elvis impersonation which is ine of the best you'll hear. I'm suprised he didn't really go for that as he honestly could have become the British answer to Mel Blanc here.

Either way, he's probably doing better off here now that with his stand up work is taking off in America, shame he didn't do America as he honestly might have been a success over there.
 
This Just In...

A Colorado judge orders the Anschutz Entertainment Group to remove the ankle monitor that was used to prevent former AEG TV star Jamie Lynn Spears from wandering too far from the Anschutz compound. Spears was found wandering the streets of Denver asking random pedestrians for help when one individual noticed the ankle bracelet and notified the authorities. Spears, now 16, is in the custody of the Colorado Department of Human Services' Division of Child Welfare.

"Do you know anything about that ankle monitor Jamie was wearing on your property?"

The Horror! The Horror!
 
AEW is on a roll ever since they lured John Cena away from the NWA. Raw and SmackDown, both on the USA Network are bodyslamming the competition right now.

The NWA meanwhile is looking for a new face to fill Cena's boots, but that will be tough. On FX and G4 respectively, Dynamite and Rampage have slid behind AEW's weekly shows as a result of Cena's departure.

WCW is still chugging along, but their ratings have slid in recent years. WCW hopes that with Turner buying 45% of UPN, they can move Thunder to network television next fall.

TNA has had to regroup after Vince Russo was fired amid the fallout from the Big Poppa Poop incident. Also, Impact will likely be shifted to another weeknight since The Hub is now carrying the World League of American Football on Friday nights. In case anyone's wondering, The Hub licensed the Friday Night Football song from The Last Boy Scout as part of its WLAF coverage.

Bally ran into a conflict of interest when The Hub acquired the rights to TNA Impact. ECW, which has been on HBO since the late Nineties, will move to Showtime, XYZ and ESPN 2, all owned by Henson, starting this September.

The Vince Russo/Ian Rotten promotion being planned for AEG TV is gonna have a bit of a tough time attracting talent. Especially when there will be some wrestlers that will feel antsy about being featured on a channel that prides itself as a right-wing, fundamentalist alternative to its rivals.
1. Happy to see AEW doing well since it started up as a successor to the WWF. Also glad Raw and Smackdown are still going strong.
2. NWA should look into the independents for new top stars. Maybe grab Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli (aka Cesaro) to help out. Maybe Bobby Lashley as well? Also, I wished G4 IOTL had a wrestling show since they pushed for a Spike TV clone during the later part of their first run on TV.
3. WCW Thunder on UPN would be awesome. WCW should be doing better honestly. Hopefully, they will bounce back.
4. TNA should be put in the dog pound for the Vince Russo crap he pulled. They could bounce back but doubt it. ECW is something I want to survive ITTL. ECW on ESPN2 sounds insane but awesome honestly. Personally hope Scott Steiner will learn from this and get redemption since it was Russo's idea in the first place.
5. I honestly would like the new Russo/Rotten promotion to fail hard before it starts.

Great update on this btw. Hope I could help out in some way.

Kelly Ripa:
"Blanche, you've said many times before that the original Big Nate which aired back in '91 reminded you very much of Gus. Is that correct?"

Blanche Boudreaux (Nelvana animator):
"Right. Gus was well known to his teachers as a class clown, sometimes sleeping in class, other times coming up with silly pranks and being sent to detention. But the truth is, as an adult, he still acts like Big Nate sometimes. Before he brought Archie and Clarissa to join me in Miami for the Super Bowl, he put a rubber gator on his kitchen floor and when Reese came home, she freaked out because she thought it was real."

***audience laughs uproariously***

They should, but maybe its time for another trio to take the reigns of TNA:

Billy Corgan was in a 'low place' before Smashing Pumpkins reunited - Los  Angeles Times
Court Bauer
Six Brothers – Texas Monthly

"Hi everyone. Bob Costas here in Boston along with Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken, Jr. Before we start, all of us at NBC are aware of the simultaneous controversies involving Butch Hartman, Kanye West and Phil Anschutz. But today, we offer you a few hours of escape with our coverage of Opening Day of Major League Baseball, our first Opening Day since 1999. For that, let's join Vin Scully, who is upstairs in the booth with Orel Hersheiser."

I like the choice of Vin Scully (R.I.P.) as lead voice of the MLB on NBC. Wonder if Al Michaels will be part of the NBC broadcast. Same with Gary Thorne.

The "Heroes" theme from the 80's was a one-time thing this year.
