One of my favorite tropes is post apocalyptic towns being named after dilapidated signs with missing letters, like Novac (no vacancy) and Eaden (dead end). There’s something inexplicable about it
The Rock and Mankind play SmackDown [December 1999]
Incite Magazine featured a nice story on the WWF’s PlayStation game SmackDown. In it were these photos of The Rock and Mankind playing the game, along with an interesting story about the time Stone Cold Steve Austin tried playing:
I pretty much play solo when I travel, but there are a lot of guys
who bring their own Playstations on the road with them. D’Lo Brown is
big into videogames. So are Mark Henry, Brian Christopher, and Kane.
There was one time when we had a big video game tournament in New York.
The Rock was up there laying the smack down on everybody and then Stone
Cold showed up. We threw in Knockout Kings in the Playstation and The
Rock knocked him out in a record 32 seconds. But who knew Stone Cold was
going to play as Roberto Duran? Austin just got up off the couch and
walked out of my hotel room muttering something about ‘No mas, no mas’.”
