A lot of people probably don't know this but John Candy was a heavy smoker I know one thing I heard, and I don't know if it's true or not, but if it is, it's sad. Apparently he had been trying to turn around his bad habits, eating better, and stopping smoking, but it was too little too late, and he died before he was able to turn his health around.

Some personal wants would be the ECW Title from when they first got on PPV. The one that Terry Funk won, I always loved that belt, and was bummed it didn't last long. The fact that the TV and Tag Team belts at the time, were the main design of the winged eagle and IC titles, made the World Title stand out more.
WCW TV Title. The one after they stopped using the NWA belt. I always thought it was better then the last TV belt, that Duggan pulled out of the garbage.
The NWA US Title. For me that belt is tied for the best version of as US Title, with the second WCW US Belt.

American Badass Undertaker. Even though that's who he really is, that one was a surprise. Also, Bradshaw's change from everything he was to "JBL" was bizarre. He was in suits, short trunks, clean shaven, that was weird. Honestly, when he first made his return with the short blond hair and clean shaved while still the the APA was one that I couldn't get used to. For me once he got rid of the goatee and the black long hair, he didn't seem like Bradshaw to me anymore. Tommy Dreamer on two different spots for me. When he first joined WWE, and instead of just wearing the plain black pants he wore the jeans with the designs on them. Still not the biggest fan when he has the pants with crazy stuff on it. Even more so was his look during his first TNA run, when he started wearing the padded gloves, the shorter pants and kick pads. It just looked awful and thank god he eventually ditched it. Raven when he first ditched the shirt and wearing the kilt in WWE. A simpler change was the period when Orton for whatever reason stopped taping up his wrists. It just didn't look right with him having the bare arms.

Great. I wanted to know before I went to the trouble of taking the head off the basic. It's too bad they couldn't have used that scan for one of the Ultimate heads.

Was wondering if anyone had an answer, but do heads from the other lines, specifically the basics, work on an Ultimate Edition figure? I finally got the Becky Lynch UE, and while the entrance head is better then the match head, they're still not the best, and I ended up having a second battle pack from her and Seth, and wondered if that head would fit the peg on the ultimate body.

I'm sorry this thread has turned in to a Rosie thread though I do believe she is awful, as mentioned. Any game show she could host wouldn't last because the fans know at this stage she is an "all about the mon-AY" type of person as the Vince McMahon quote goes. She would have no consideration of show staff members nor contestants and it would destroy the show. I hate that Alex passed. I followed his life over the last years and truly believed if anyone could beat cancer it would be him. On autograph collecting sites I saw his response to so many requests and it showed that he truly appreciated his fan base and the love we had for him. What especially sticks with me, as someone in the building materials industry, is a story I read a few years ago about his daughter trying to do construction a new house. His daughter needed electrical, plumbing and woodwork done on the house and Alex did all this work himself. This really impressed me so much because I'm sure they could have employed anyone but also because it showed how much he cared about his daughter that he would do this work personally. I hate that passed but I'm sure the last year of his life was enjoyed immensely even knowing it was his last because he knew how much he was loved. Sadly pancreatic cancer doesn't have a great survival rate, and I'm sure him being the age he was didn't help (and talking about that, even with cancer, man he did not look like he was 80). I had an aunt die from it earlier this year, and it was like Trebek, treatments seemed like they were working, and about a year after diagnosis, things went south, and she was gone quick. And you talk about how handy he was, after he died the shows executive producer Mike Richards talked about his last day. This from it: “He had a swing in his backyard that he loved. He actually rebuilt it earlier this year. He was very handy. I don’t know if a lot of people know that,” Richards told Today. “And even in his book, he described that he wanted his final day to be sitting on his swing next to his wife, Jean, and kind of watching the horizon. And he got to do that.” I remember my first reaction to that was kind of a sad happiness. He got to have his final day the way he wanted it, and that's something not many people get, so it seems that when he went, at least he went in peace.

I remember seeing that clip last year. I liked that, that the guy knew he wasn't going to win, so it did something simple, yet so great with his answer. And man you can see how much that meant to Trebek. Thank God that never happened. I absolutely hate that woman. I think Drew has done a good job as a replacement, after he found his footing and found himself as a game show host. Here's a little bit of background to the rumor. She would have made an awful game show hostwww.tvguide.com/news/cbs-turned-down-16474/makes sense since she's an awful human being.

for those who haven't seen it: I remember seeing that clip last year. I liked that, that the guy knew he wasn't going to win, so it did something simple, yet so great with his answer. And man you can see how much that meant to Trebek. I was talking with my dad about this the other day. I can honestly see it being Ken Jennings. He would be an excellent choice. Speaking of replacements, when Bob Barker retired from The Price is Right, Rosie O'Donnell was rumored to be considered as a replacement Thank God that never happened. I absolutely hate that woman. I think Drew has done a good job as a replacement, after he found his footing and found himself as a game show host.

Looks like it. I did some searching, and it seems that you can't dismantle or sell any of your armor or weapons. That sucks I specifically built the trading post in my settlement to see, because I thought, if you can't get rid of them in the blacksmith, than surely you could at the post. Then I did some searching and found out no. It's strange to not even have the ability to dismantle.

Can we not sell weapons/armor at the blacksmiths in this game? Looks like it. I did some searching, and it seems that you can't dismantle or sell any of your armor or weapons.

As ClassicFan2 said, he goes to the NWA, and you don't have the wild fire of Hulkamania. The whole Hulk Hogan character was basically the perfect fit for the Vince McMahon vision. When you look at the NWA and WWF (the world titles especially), and the NWA was the worker's promotion, the WWF was the sports entertainer's company. Would Hogan have had a run was NWA champion, more than likely because he was popular enough that I could see it, but without Vince's vision and putting all his backing behind him, Hogan doesn't get that rocket strapped to his back, and get pushed as the mega star that he became in the WWF.

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet on here, but former 90210 star Gabrielle Cateris who played Andrea is the head of some union thing and she tweeted out to Zelina backing her and looking to help her with this cause. Um, that would be Hollywood's biggest union that she's the head of.

Man I unlocked my first ability today from finding a book, which was the throwing multiple axes. So I wanted to try it out, found a lone enemy riding his horse, knocked him off with an arrow shot, when he got up I did the ability and took his damn head off. I knew before hand of dismemberment, and event had it happen in battle, but I wasn't expecting it from throwing axes at him.

So Nia threw Mandy Rose too hard outside the ring and Mandy legitimately suffered an injury, severity not yet known. I know there will be people who defend her but seriously name me someone else who this often is involved in someone else getting injured? It still makes me laugh that time she tried to throw shade at Ronda for injuring people.

Just picked it up and having it loading up now. Can't wait to play. I know I have to at least try duel wielding a pair of shields. Still don't know if I'm going with male or female.

Well finally, Bioware decided to make an official announcement (on N7 day) that they are indeed released a remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy sometime next spring, as well as announcing they are making a new installment in the series. SO glad they finally just officially said it with the remaster, as it was one of the worst kept secrets for games. I take the news of the new game with guarded optimism. I'm hoping they learned from their amazing screw up with Andromeda (as well as Anthem since I'd say both failures are connected with each other), but they're still part of the EA umbrella, and anything involving them makes me worried.

Really sucks. I had a aunt this year pass from pancreatic cancer as well, and it was like Trebek, at first seemed like the treatment was going good through the course of a year, and then it turned, and they were lost. If there is maybe any kind of silver lining, it's maybe that Trebek's diagnosis and sharing of his battle may have brought more awareness to pancreatic cancer.

Monday I picked up the Gamestop Jango Fett with the removable helmet. With it being the start of the month I was able to knock $5 off it with the monthly reward too.

Anyone see Canadian Bacon? It's the only non documentary by Michael Moore starring John Candy in one of his last roles. Yeah, I enjoyed the movie. The premise is just so goofy, America trying to start a cold war with Canada. And it's funny having John Candy, as the patriotic sheriff, buying into it, and seeing Canada as the enemy. It was cool, back when I was in high school, I went to Niagara Falls with my parents, and we went in the tunnels behind the falls, and when you get off the elevators, there were some pictures, and one of them, was John Candy with some tour guides from when he filmed the movie.
