WWE's Cyber Sunday Q&D Results

Wow, it's been forever since somebody posted here. Well, why don't we kick the dust off and do a little bit of wrestling talk, hm? Yeah, the 2008 edition of WWE's annual "Cyber Sunday" pay-per-view event was nearly a week ago, and you could have gotten an in-depth analysis anywhere by now, but why not come here for the quick and dirty results instead?
  1. U.S. champion Shelton Benjamin beat R-Truth in a match that was broadcast on WWE.com prior to the show actually starting. (And you can see that match here!)
  2. Rey Mysterio beat Kane in a "no holds barred" match.
  3. ECW champion Matt Hardy beat Evan Bourne.
  4. John Morrison and The Miz beat Cryme Tyme.
  5. The Honky Tonk Man beat Intercontinental champion Santino Marella by disqualification, thanks to the interference of Beth Phoenix.
  6. The Undertaker beat The Big Show in a "last man standing" match.
  7. Mickie James, dressed as Lara Croft, won a costume contest.
  8. WWE champion Triple H beat Jeff Hardy.
  9. Batista beat World champion Chris Jericho to win the title. Steve Austin was the guest referee.

And you can go check out the voting results at Cyber Sunday's Wikipedia article, because I'm just too darn lazy to type them out. I have yet to actually watch the show, even though it's probably up on YouTube by now, but I keep hearing that the ECW Title match was good. So maybe I should go check it out. And maybe you should too. It's easier than spending 40 bucks to watch it, right?

R.I.P. Killer Kowalski

WWE Hall of Famer Walter "Killer" Kowalski passed away earlier today due to complications caused by a heart attack he suffered earlier last week. He was 81 years old.

Kowalski's contributions to the business are many, but his legacy will be those he had a hand in training. Those who learned the game from Kowalski include fellow WWE Hall of Famer Big John Studd, and notable names such as Triple H, Chyna, current TNA performers Frankie Kazarian and Roxxi Laveaux, and ECW alumni The Eliminators.

We here at the OO Blog extend our deepest sympathies to the Kowalski family. Rest in peace, Killer.

New 'Tron' races on

Kosinski will program Disney sequel

By Borys Kit
TORONTO -- Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct "Tron," described as "the next chapter" of Disney's 1982 cult classic. Sean Bailey is producing via the Live Planet banner, as is Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film.

Kosinski, who last month signed on to helm the remake of "Logan's Run" for Warner Bros. Pictures, will oversee the visual development of the project and have input on the script, which is being written by "Lost" scribes Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Story details are being kept secret.
