Fun fact: even though he was born in Spain, Kane resides in Jefferson City, TN, which I live near. I haven't met him, but I've heard nothing but nice things about the big man. For his size and limitations, he's not that bad of a wrestler either. Hope TTL is good to my fellow Tennessean.

Yeah we used to take several vacations to Gatlinburg every year throughout the year. He had/has a gym in Pigeon Forge? Which is where we met him. Also, my wife grew up near Jefferson in Dandridge. Small world.
so was he Unabomb then or dis this pre date that?
I am on of the few that remembers and will admit to watching Smokey Mountain Wrestling
Glenn Jacobs was Unabomb in 1995, IIRC. At this point, he'd also been Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS and the "Fake" Diesel (after Kevin Nash left for WCW) in the WWF. He debuted as Kane on October 5, 1997 IOTL at the In Your House: Bad Blood pay-per-view.
Interestingly, that's the first WWE PPV that could have different matches ITTL, since Steve Austin is never injured, and probably is still the Intercontinental Champion at this point...
On a related note: perhaps we could see a Game TV episode with WWF superstars? *hint hint*
He was already Kane when I met him I think, between 96-99. But when my uncle was in SMW he was Unabomb, honestly though it could have been even before then. I can't recall, my uncle passed away when I was 16 and even before then I'd lost interest in wrestling. I just remember what I mentioned and that he wrestled for the Fabulous Moolah.

This'll DEFINITELY happen at some point, but probably not until late 1998 or early 1999.
Bumping this over from last page...For the next pop culture update, can we see what Kevin Smith has been and is up to? Mallrats seemed it might get a better reception, I'm judging soley upon the GameTV reaction we saw.
And if you ever do compile TTL, I suggest it be subtitled: Everybody Loves the '90s.
I'd like that, everyone always picks on Mallrats and I don't know why. It's an underrated movie IMHO.
that would be for winter pop update them, if not when time come for him.
that idea was nice, about wwf superstars, specially with aki/syn-sophia wrestling games in ultra
Nice all those anedocted post, i love thos tales.
Awesome. Agreed with Rodger, Mallrats is a painfully underrated film. So, is Chasing Amy which is probably one of my favorite View Askewniverse films.
And is not to bash or something, halfway even Mcmahon wanted bret out, bret 20 year 1millon dollar one was too big to infamous penny hoarder was Vince, and would still somewhat happen(maybe more civil, who knews but michaels-bret heat was so extreme even taker was preparing for the worse and he got suprised with screwjob).
Again thinking but helped anohter idea would help wcw...
The Montreal Screwjob absolutely still happens. Hell, I'm not totally convinced it wasn't a worked shoot (Wrestlecrap's alternate timeline where the Screwjob never happened and WWF goes under nine months later convinced me that it really was the best thing for everyone involved, even Bret)
I still think bret knew he will loss and was willingly to take it... he is a professsional i think what nobody expected was the humillation and how unfolded(aka mcmahon whitewashing, the whole next raw interview,ecetera) that is why bret was just out wwf per years.
(that and the tragic death of owen didn't help) so that is still comming, Vince needs out bret to use that money bring mike tyson(here even if less infamous still the biggest boxer since mr ali)
I guess Star Trek IX is delayed until 1999, since Patrick Stewart starring in X-Men (1998).
Out of curiosity Nivek & RySenkari, have either of you read Michael Piller's manuscript "Fade In" which is all about the writing process of Star Trek Insurrection?
I would assume that it's too early for Generations and First Contact to be butterflied very much, But it'll be interesting to see how the butterflies affect the later Star Treks.
Care to share a link, would come handy for any pop culture update in the future. We got info a forum member here who have a familiar who worked in star trek(if you read this, can resend that info...
) and that allow some ideas but nothing is final.So yeah butterflies will ensue. just wait for those
I'll take a look at it and let you know what I think. I do agree that there wouldn't be another Star Trek movie until 1999 because Patrick Stewart is otherwise occupied. There have actually been a lot of contributions as of late, I apologize for not being able to give them my full attention, I've been super busy on the Ultra Nintendo update, so thank you Nivek for fielding a lot of these contributions while I've been working. I'll try to review them all after the 1998 updates have started, until then I'll once again quote Satoru Iwata and offer up a "Please Understand"
Speaking of the Ultra Nintendo update, here's another tease...the voice cast of the main characters of Final Fantasy VII! Feel free to give your opinions on this. It's probably not all inclusive as I may be adding other characters to it in the main update (along with perhaps a few original characters?) No need to put it in the archive, Golden Darkness, as I plan to include this in the main update as well.

Tifa: Amanda Winn Lee
Aeris: Mary Kay Bergman
