WWE: The Best of Smackdown - 10th Anniversary DVD Review

When I first read about this DVD I was excited to see some of the stuff on it. One of the segments I was really hyped to see was the grocery store brawl between Austin and Booker T. I received the DVD in the mail and sat down to watch it and boy was I disappointed. None of the segments are whole, its just highlights with different WWE stars talking about them. The matches are whole though(There are some matches that are just clips like the Kurt Angle/Brock Lesnar Iron Man match, Eddie Guerrero vs John Cena Parking lot brawl, and some others)

The clips and full matches are done in a top 100 countdown style. Even though segments aren't whole, it is still a decent DVD though. I have to give this DVD 3 out 5 stars, Mostly because of the matches and some of the highlights they show are for segments and matches I totally forgot about(Like Tazz vs Triple H match) or, segments I enjoyed when I first saw them back in the day and it's fun to relive them. I recommend this DVD to wrestling fans but, I wouldn't spend more then $20 on it.

Our crappy old Webcomic

This is the webcomic from our old site, eternalfury.com. The site is long since closed but we salvaged these from the Internet Archive. Sadly, I don't have all of them here. About three of them are missing. They may be on an old computer, but I don't have time to check. This was done on an old webcam back in 2002, so the picture quality blows.

FUCK GOOGLE ADSENSE IN THEIR ASSES

Google almost killed Dreadful Entertainment over the past week. On our greatest traffic day yet, no one could even see our first video because Google's fucking ads wouldn't load. Several people have said they wouldn't come back, and now we have to win their trust back. Well, we are making every attempt to do just that. First step, Google goes bye-bye! We are going ad free until we can find an ad host that isn't a bunch of ass. This being said, we now don't have any revenue source other than the videos and donations. So, if you want to keep us around, simply watch the videos and don't close the ads on them. Also, if you really like what you see, we have a donation button on the sidebar. This being said, we are done with AdSense until they get their heads out of their asses. If this gets the site blacklisted by Google, so be it. We don't get that much search traffic anyway.

DVD Review: WWE History of the WWE Championship by J. Freek

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am not going to lie. I have had this DVD for while now, pretty much since it came out a few years ago. I just watched it for the first time recently. The WWE title has been around for over 40 years. This DVD includes matches voted on by us the fans. Well its 3-discs and features all the greats Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, and more! Here’s the disc by disc breakdown.

Disc 1:
Covers from when the title was first made to the end of the 80's. Disc 1 has about 12 matches on it. Some of the early matches aren't show with the greatest quality footage but what do you expect for footage that is almost 40 years old? Some of the matches include Bruno Sammartino vs. Killer Kowalski, Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant (Wrestlemania 3) and "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan (Wrestlemania 5) and that’s just a sample. One of the best things included on Disc 1 is they have a thing called the time line, and it included the closing moments from pretty much every title change up to 2006. The earlier years are just text because as I said, the footage wasn't the greatest.

Disc 2:
Covers the 1990's, this disc only has 5 or 6 matches on it. The reason is it includes the entire HBK vs Bret Hart 60-min Iron Man match from Wrestlemania 12. It also includes Hogan/Warrior from Wrestlemania 6. So, even though it only has 5 matche,s the Iron Man match is worth it.

Disc 3:
Covers from 2000-2006, it has some good matches on it like Street Fight HHH vs. Cactus Jack from Royal Rumble 2000, Rock/Austin from Wrestlemania 17, Undisputed Championship Match Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho, The Rock vs Brock Lesnar from Summerslam, and others. To me this is the weak disc of the set. Don't get me wrong it is still a good disc just not as good as the others.

Overall its a pretty good set but a lot of the matches except for some of the stuff on Disc 1 has been on countless other best of sets and would have like to seen some matches not yet released or only released a few times. Some of the matches I wished were on it are The Rock vs Mick Foley I Quit match, and their empty arena match they had and others. The one match I am shocked that was not included in the set was the match from Raw where Foley first wins the title just because of the whole thing with WCW bashing it and causing millions of people to switch over to Raw to see it. So, if you can get this set cheap, go ahead it is a great set. 4 out of 5.

Book Review: WWE Encyclopedia by J. Freek

This book is great. It covers pretty much everyone to ever step inside a WWF/WWE ring. It features guys from when the company was first formed to current day. It does have some wrestlers missing like Ernest Miller, Ultimo Dragon, Max Mini, Kizarny and some others but for the most part it is pretty up to date even including Scotty Goldman, The Bella Twins, and tons of other new faces that are in the WWE. So it will most likely have some guys or women you have never even heard of or you just wanted to forget like Phantasio and many other Wrestlecrap type wrestlers. It also covers every PPV, TV show, Title, and pretty much everything else you can think of. This book is a must have for any wrestling fan out there. I have a decent amount of wrestling books and will probably review them sometime down the line and I have to say that this book is definitely one of my favorites. I hope they release these every five years to give you an updated version. I will give it 5 out of 5.

CD Review: Duff McKagan's Loaded "Sick"

I've always been a fan of anything Guns N' Roses related. I'm one of the few who think Chinese Democracy was worth the wait. I bought the End of Days soundtrack just for "Oh My God." I spent $120 on a GNR hockey jersey. I even have most of the 800 or so solo/side projects. From the good (Slash's Snakepit) to the surprisingly mediocre (Izzy and the JuJu Hounds), I've seen or at least heard all of them. So imagine my excitement when I walk into my local Best Buy and see Duff McKagan with a new solo album out. I've always thought Duff's solo work was the best of the band's outside material (unless one counts Chinese Democracy as an Axl solo record). Also, the album was released by Century Media records, who are responsible for about a third of the good metal out there these days.

So, the big question, was it any good? Well, for the most part, yes. The opening title track, "Sick" kicks some ass. A lot of the stuff in the first half of the album is pretty good. Then it starts to slowly lose steam. As we progress, it gets apparent that the guys ran out of ideas. Overall, if you're a diehard GNR fan like me, check it out. If you've never heard Duff's solo stuff before, check out "Believe in Me" first.

DVD Review: XPW BAPTIZED IN BLOOD 1 by J.Freek

XPW a word that hardcore wrestling fans may have heard of. Those who have usually are split down the middle 50/50. Some like it and some don't. A lot of the ones who don't, do not like because they feel as its a bad rip off of ECW or they just don't like that style of wrestling(Hardcore). Now, I don't know too much about the company. I mean I heard about it before and whatnot but never really watched a bunch of their stuff. I did get a VHS tape of some event back in high school from some kid but I don't really remember anything special about it, but I recently was at a used DVD store and found this DVD for $3.99 so, I thought why not and picked it up.

The first thing I find with this DVD is their announcers are just plain horrible. One guy sounds like somebody doing a bad impression of Scarface's Tony Montana and the other sounds like someone trying to be Joey Styles except replace Joey Style's famous OH MY GOD!!!! with what sounds like a women yelling in a bad horror film when ever something hardcore happens. Also during in ring segments, the camera man and production are bad. During the first segment Chris Candido was in the ring with Sunny, and some other guy was talking well while he was talking they didn't show him at all until pretty much the end of him talking they kept showing Candido and the crowd.

As for the action, it is what you would expect out of a hardcore wrestling company. It has the King of the Deathmatch tournament, blood, all kinds of weapons(such a barbed wire, nails, glass, thumbtacks, and light bulbs) and did I mention blood? It isn't the greatest DVD I ever seen and it from what I can remember it was better then a lot of other ECW knockoffs, but it is nowhere near as good as ECW was. I will say the matches are pretty good and they do entertain. So if you are a fan of hardcore wrestling you might want to pick this up, but do remember what I said it is no ECW even though it does feature a few former ECW Superstars. The DVD does have a few bonus matches so that's a plus. I give this DVD 2.5 stars out of 5

Oh and before I forget some guy in one of the matches keeps vomiting throughout the match. I am not kidding, sadly.

A Trademark for Footface

So I read today that Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. Octomom, is looking to file for a trademark on the name given to her by the tabloids, so she can exploit her unwarranted fame even further by slapping it on diapers. Just what we need. It's bad enough that ACTUAL CELEBRITIES are such whores, but this is goddamn absurd! Everyone who has listened to The Dreadful Hour over the last few months has heard my take on this revolting waste of human flesh who uses her obscene number of kids as a prop to make herself famous. People like this disgust me more than words can describe.

Everyone knows that these kids will most likely wind up in worse shape than those sad stories we hear about those kids forced into the limelight so their parents can live vicariously through them. Think Jon Benet Ramsey. It's not even piss poor parenting, it's flat out child abuse! So, she wants to trademark Octomom, well, here's a few we would like to trademark for our relentless attempts to make people see this dreg of society for who she really is:

-OctoTWAT
-OctoCUNT
-Footface (My personal favorite)
-Cavern Snatch
-Shameless whore who is using her kids to get famous

These are just a few I came up with off the top of my head.
