Posted by under *like, Television | Leave a Comment |

WrestleMania_29_posterThe road to WrestleMania finally ends tonight as WWE pulls into MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for the biggest show of the year. The stage is set and while the path to get here may have had some bumps and even a few questionable detours, there’s an inescapable excitement when the show is imminent. With mere hours to go, we’ll touch on this past Monday’s Raw, review tonight’s card, and make our predictions for the “showcase of the immortals.”

Also, we’d love for readers to interact with @MLDtweets throughout the night for some bonus WrestleMania action.

My Latest Pull List – April 3rd, 2013

Posted by under *like, Comics | Leave a Comment |

Weekly comic books are a big part of my life and below is a list of what I’ll be picking up this Wednesday along with cover artwork and previews courtesy of Comixology’s Pull List app.

I’m thankful for a really light week to start April. I almost thought it was a joke when I first looked at the shipping lists.

  • AGE OF APOCALYPSE #14 –  I’m going into Wednesday planning to get this chapter of the X-Termination crossover, but my resolve is wavering. I haven’t read chapter two yet and I’m honestly not sure how much I really need to continue here. 
  • AGE OF ULTRON #4 – I’m expecting we’ll get a twist on what last issue’s revelation is really all about, but I’ll be satisfied with anything that puts together the pieces of how the Marvel Universe got to this point.
  • ALL NEW X-MEN #10 – Always happy to see this on the schedule and after the ending to Uncanny X-Men #3 (which continues here) I can’t wait to see what’s next. The preview and cover also indicate Cyclops’ visit to the Jean Grey school isn’t the only thing to worry about.
  • THANOS RISING #1 – Not completely sure about this one, but I’ll be giving it a serious look once I get to the store. I do enjoy Simone Bianchi’s artwork.

Check back every week to see what’s on My Latest Pull List and please share your thoughts on these titles and everything you’re reading this week in the comments.

Monday Night Raw Warm Up for April 1st, 2013

Posted by under *like, Television | Leave a Comment |

A lot of big names gathered in Philadelphia last Monday night as Hall of Famers Mick Foley, Booker T, Dusty Rhodes, Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler asker the Rock and John Cena about what we can expect from their WrestleMania 29 rematch.

A lot of big names gathered in Philadelphia last Monday night as WWE Hall of Famers Mick Foley, Booker T, Dusty Rhodes, Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler asked the Rock and John Cena what we can expect from their WrestleMania 29 rematch.

We’re just six days from WrestleMania 29, and the MLD Monday Night Warm Up is taking a bit of a break this week to prepare. We’ll be back later in the week with a special edition WrestleMania Warm Up, while tonight’s episode of Raw will emanate from Washington, DC. Last Monday’s Raw from Philadelphia was exactly the type of show WWE needed heading into the biggest show of the year. Local sports radio hosts in the City of Brotherly Love may not have understood any of what they were seeing last week, but the fans in attendance did and they approved. It would be great for the last Raw before WWE’s biggest show of the year to get the same high marks. At the very least, tonight is likely to bring the usual rhetoric from Cena and the Rock, more disrespect for the Undertaker from C.M. Punk, and Shawn Michaels returns for what could be the final Raw of Triple H’s career given the stipulations of his match WrestleMania match with Brock Lesnar.

While we get our thoughts together for WrestleMania, enjoy some of the highlights from last week.
