On the same night, WWE plans to bring Bret Hart back to TV, 12 years after the “Montreal [...]
I won’t be watching WrestleMania this year: I’ll be on a mini-vacation that weekend, the place I’m staying at doesn’t have cable TV, and I just can’t be damned, based on how awful the build has been and how uninteresting many of the matches are.

This is totally not going to become a legal blog, but hey, this one combines two of my major interests: gaming and wrestling. White Wolf/CCP is suing World Wrestling Entertainment, claiming that they continued to use the Gangrel wrestler/character [which WWE initially licensed from White Wolf years ago, after White Wolf complained that they were [...]
