Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel w/Shawn Michaels. Revenge is SWEET!

First, I want to point out two things. The first is that the accompanying clip runs pretty long...just over 9 minutes (the part I want you to see is around the 7 minute mark, actually, I think you can drag that little cursor on the bottom of the Youtube screen if you want to skip the beginning). Next, I don't tune into WWE all that much anymore. I read up on the goings-on on websites and that's about it. But during last night's channel surfing, I came across this segment. And it reminded of how the term "screwjob" came about.

To make a long story short, way back in 1997, Canadian WWE hero Bret Hart had the rug pulled out from underneath him when Vince McMahon wanted out of the contract they just recently signed. In addition, Bret was told to lose the title on his home turf, Canada. Bret said he'd drop the title but not on Canadian soil. Vince said okay before Bret's match in Montreal, but was deceiving. SCREWJOB! Shawn Michaels took the title in controversial fashion, saying he never knew of the altered plans but years later admitted he did. There is tons of heat on Michaels up here in Canada.

Much like Bret, whenever something goes wrong in my life, what else to call it except an SBP screwjob!?

So anyway, towards the end of this clip: well, I won't spoil it. But let's just say if Bret Hart had done it himself, it might rate as some of the best TV this guy has EVER seen. Warning: some might consider it a bit violent!

I thought for sure your blog was going to be about the bombshell that was just dropped about the new Streetfighter movie: No Ken OR Ryu will be featured. It's all Chun Li. Talk about an SBP screwjob.

I reviewed Iron Man, if yer interested. Many spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen it.

...and if you haven't seen it, you really should, it's quite awesome.
 
You said it: screwjob. "The Legend of Chun-Li"? Lame. Then again, the first movie was a steaming pile of dogsh*t, so really how much better can it be regardless of which character they choose? Anyway, Street Figher IV is coming to the Xbox and I imagine they're just doing this movie to cash in on the craze.
