Steamboat vs. Jericho Confirmed, Midway Sold, SD! Tonight

Variety reports that Warner Bros. has officially bought Midway Games for $33 million. The TNA video game license was not part of the assets sold to WB though, putting the future of the TNA video game series in some shady ground for now.

The Star Bulletin has an article up about WWE’s house show in Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend and features Chris Jericho commenting on facing Ricky Steamboat on the show. “I’m looking forward to it. I don’t really look at Steamboat as a legend. He’s just a great performer and one of the best of all time. It’d be like playing hockey against Wayne Gretzky — even though he retired years ago, he’s still better than half the people on the ice nowadays. Steamboat, at 55 years old, is still better than 80 percent of our roster … (and) being from Hawaii, it’s a huge deal. It’s going to be very sentimental for him and the fans, and of course I plan to spoil it and stick it in his face and all of the fans when I end the party and annihilate him in front of everyone.”

The following matches are scheduled for tonight’s edition of WWE Smackdown:

– Finlay vs. Ricky Ortiz
– Dolph Ziggler vs. R Truth
– Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
– Hart Dynasty vs. Cryme Tyme
– Melina vs. Maria vs. Michelle McCool vs. Layla
– WWE Unified Tag Team Title Match: Edge and Jericho © vs. CM Punk and Jeff Hardy
