  1. Yeah, a lot of the retro reviews are worth checking out, especially the old Japanese cars that have been long forgotten over the years. Some are simply hilarious. Take this slice of American patriotism, for example. The Drift Classic. Hybrids have nothing on this. Watching this video might make you grow a mullet.
  2. Anyone here remember MotorWeek? Back in the 1980s, it was the American alternative to old Top Gear. And while Top Gear has changed dramatically over the years from a traditional video magazine to an off-the-wall stunt show, MotorWeek continues to stay true to its roots by just giving viewers the basics on new car tests.

  3. Unfortunately, that's not gonna happen for a few reasons: By now, you should already know the WWE's reputation with Japanese workers. Take Kenta Kobayashi (a.k.a. Hideo Itami), for example. Even if he returns from his injury, he'll still be relegated to NXT territory until WWE decides to release him. Not convincing enough? How about Yoshi Tatsu, Tajiri, Taka Michinoku, and Funaki? What do they have in common? They were all downgraded to comic relief jobbers. And don't get me started with Jinsei Shinzaki... Continuing on the subject of Japanese wrestlers in the WWE, what success has the company had with Japanese female wrestlers? The Jumping Bomb Angels - and that was only for 8-9 months with little or no TV time outside of the PPVs they participated in. For reasons unknown, the WWE considers the Bella Twins (or at least Nikki) as the "crown jewels" of the Divas division. Harming Nikki Bella is a major no-no for two reasons: 1) John Cena is her fiance; and 2) John Laurinaitis is her soon-to-be stepfather (not that it should mean anything, but given WWE's state of affairs, it kinda does). WIth that in mind, Kana a.k.a. Asuka will have a decent run on NXT, feuding with the likes of Sasha Banks or Bayley. If she does a few WWE stints, it's a guarantee that she'll be facing Paige or Charlotte on a regular basis. Yes, we'd have good Diva matches, but she'll never hold that godawful belt (which is probably a good thing).
  4. Coming to theaters on April 15, 2016 is Disney's live-action adaptation of their beloved animated classic The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1-2, Cowboys & Aliens). The film stars newcomer Neel Sethi as the jungle orphan Mowgli and features the following voices: Bill Murray (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Tripper in Meatballs) as Baloo Ben Kingsley (Trevor/Mandarin in Iron Man 3, The Hood in Thunderbirds) as Bagheera Idris Elba (Stacker Pentecost in Pacific Rim, Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) as Shere Khan Scarlett Johansson (Silken Floss in The Spirit, Jordan Two Delta in The Island) as Kaa Lupita Nyong'o (Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, Maz in Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as Raksha Christopher Walken (Max Shreck in Batman Returns, Feng in Balls of Fury) as King Louie Official Site
  5. At 2,700 yen, it's a bit pricey, but still a good alternative for those who can't afford the Robot Damashii figure. Gundam Assault Kingdom EX06 Hyaku Shiki Set
  6. WWE Night of Champions is this Sunday on PPV and WWE Network. Here's the card: WWE Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins © vs. Sting - Ratings have slid dramatically during Rollins' reign as champion, so here's what's gonna happen: Sting beats Rollins, then Sheamus runs in to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and give Sting the Brogue Kick to become the new champ. Then he'll feud with Brock Lesnar for the title. WWE United States Championship: Seth Rollins © vs. John Cena - Having Cena regain the title wouldn't make any sense. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Ryback © vs. Kevin Owens - Expect Owens to take home the gold. WWE Tag Team Championship: The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E, with Xavier Woods) © vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray & D-Von) - Get the Tables! WWE Divas Championship: Nikki Bella © vs. Charlotte - So Nikki has broken AJ Lee's record for longest-reigning Divas Champion, which means she'll finally drop the belt this Sunday. Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and a Mystery Partner vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Braun Strowman) - Don't be surprised if Erick Rowan is the mystery partner. Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev (with Summer Rae) - Has this feud gone anywhere?
