--WWE is said to be an inspiration for a University of Chicago "Fight Club" with students. Excerpt: Thunderdome provides a release for spectators as well, many of whom welcome the study break after a long week. "We come almost every week, mostly to laugh," said second-year Rathika Ramadoss, a Snell resident. Refereed by Linton, known as the "Czar," the fights pit two opponents in single-elimination combat, with the goal being to make the other competitor "submit" by admitting defeat. Article Link

--Game Asylum gave a lousy review to the WWE Raw vs. Smackdown 2008 videogame, noting that it's for "closet gays and rednecks."

Wrestling fans will probably like it, but everyone else should recognise it as the disgusting example of stinking, cynical sh-- that it is. 4 out of 10. Article Link
