WOOO! Lottery!, Plus Stone Cold vs. CM Punk on Twitter

Yep, that's a commercial for the new Ric Flair scratch-off ticket for the North Carolina Education Lottery. An aside, most transparent attempt at trying to make gambling sound like it's a good idea? I can see it now: "Bally's presents Texas Hold 'Em for Orphans!" or "The Bellagio's SPCA Slot Machines!". Anyway, this is a pretty sweet display of nostalgia. Even if Flair is making an ass of himself in TNA, when in the presence of a company that has good production values, he can still remind you of how awesome he can be.

Speaking of awesome... one of the big deals this week has been the release of the WWE All-Stars game. The WWE has put a HUGE amount of hype behind the game, and they've been promoting a bunch of fantasy match ups behind the game. One of them was Steve Austin vs. CM Punk. This sparked a Twitter feud of sorts between the WWE legend and the current heel dynamo:

Y'know, it's a shame that Austin probably will never wrestle again, because a feud with Punk would be money for obvious reasons. It might be too awesome to contain in the WWE. It might just melt the whole world. Then again, I'm an unabashed mark for both guys, so I might be exaggerating things here... Still, it's great to see guys having fun with this. The All-Stars game may be the only way to see these fantasy match-ups, but the fact that the wrestlers themselves are playing along and stoking the fires? That's fanservice, even if at heart it's a tease. Then again, I'd much rather see Punk and Austin have fun with this and go back and forth than to see them just ignore it altogether, y'know?
