In reply to what you said about Tyson being removed from the game...I agree that it sucks, he would have been awesome if they had built on the Rapey Magoo aspect of his character.

Aran is supposed to Irish, but he looks more like he's from Eastern Europe

Back in The Day(TM), I only had the non-Tyson Punch-Out! for the NES. I loved it, though, and when I read in Nintendo Power about Super Punch-Out coming out for the SNES, I was excited.

And angry, because I didn't have a Super Nintendo at the time.

When I finally did get an SNES, though, I never did get around to buying the game. And now I'm glad I didn't. I do remember being irked when I read about the opponents' ability to attack you with moves that weren't boxing moves!! Ugh.

So Syd, did you like "Rocky IV"?

How were you able to get the word: "Rastafarian " in here. I applaud you.

Masked Muscle = Bane

The best boxing match of all time was in "Rocky III" when Hulk Hogan and Rocky fought. That was the most legal boxing fight of all time. Thunderlips 4ever! (off topic: Who would win Thunderlips or Donkey Lips?)

Heike Kagero is emo. And I'm totally offended by the "This is the type of bizarre shit that only the Japanese could appreciate" comment... wait, this is me we're talking about. Screw that, I am offended by nothing. Anyone else think he's Sephiroth?

Sephiroth? Nah. One of those gimp clones like Kadaj or Loz? Very possibly.

Yeah, I do like Rocky IV. It was one too many musical montages, but it's still great. First of all, Ivan Drago is the best Rocky villain ever. And he's quotable too. Whenever they pass around Get Well cards at work for people who are recovering from surgery or whatever, I always write his classic line: "If he dies, he dies." Well, unless it's a woman. Then I have to feign sympathy.

Also, Rocky IV is great because Stallone ends the Cold War via boxing. And he fights on Christmas. Damn... I should have included Rocky IV in my Best Christmas Movies list.

Why do the alt texts suddenly stop about half way through? Terribly disappointing. Unless you're still writing them, so that people will reload the article over and over again. If that's the case, bravo you sly curr.

There should be alt texts for all of them... unless you read the article at some point before 11 PM EST last night and didn't ask the question until now.

That's funny. Whenever someone pisses me off I just say "I must break you."

I'm just glad Rocky brought American Patriotism to Russia at the end.

And hopefully we all know Rocky IV is my favorite Rocky because it stars He-Man.

Yeah, it was the latter.

Ever since I first watched WCW, this is what I saw in my head...

I wish I could've found a better picture, but I think you can see it too.

Is that referee Charles Robinson aka L'il Natch?

Posted: Feb 27 2006 08:51 pm

Indeed he is. The first time I saw him, I screamed, "NARCIS PRINCE" and have ever since. At the Smackdown! show I went to, I made my friend Arison take a picture of him sweeping the ring between matches. Speaking of which, I haven't seen pixel one of those pictures since the show. Gr.

Syd,
As always your articles KICK MAJOR ASS.

Funny, insiteful, true.

We know that you think Super-Punch-Out is a rather weak game (i tend to agree) but are there some super nintendo games you really like?

Quite honestly, I want to know why they didn't make a Punch-Out for the N64... and if they did, why haven't I seen it? I think a new Punch-Out game has even more prospects on the gyro-controllered Revolution and am praying to *deity that they will have the common sense and such to do it. Can I get a(n) *spiritually_uplifting_prayer_ending_word?

AMEN!
