Stills from HERCULES: The Thracian wars

Yes...I know I said I was retiring the blog. But If you read that post one more time you'll see I said I'd be back from time to time. So the blog is almost in hibernation but not quite.... Enjoy these pics from the upcoming movie starring the ROCK - Dwayne Johnson.

I even threw in a pic for the game too...makes a nice graphic. Enjoy.

Thanks for the memories!!!!

Responsibilities and work have all but taken up my free time. I am no longer able to keep up with the blog as often as I'd like to. So I am retiring the blog. It will be up and I will not remove it from Blogger so people can visit as they stumble across it while they do their google searches. Besides who knows I may get the inclination to add to it from time to time. But until further notice it is in retirement. I leave you with this collage I found while googling. Enjoy...and do something LEGENDARY!!!!

Yeah right...

I think a battle between these two versions of Hercules would end quite differently. But I do appreciate the artists opinion...and It is a cool graphic.

"The Passing of a WARRIOR"

The Ultimate Warrior has passed away. The Gods have called him home and he has gone back to parts unknown. He was a master of intensity and his energy was boundless. In the late 1980's he burst onto the scene with an agenda...to rule and conquer the WWE/WWF and so he did. He worked his way to champ in no time. His tag team championship reign with Randy Savage and his feuds with HERCULES,HULK HOGAN,ANDRE THE GIANT,RICK RUDE,BOBBY HEENAN,THE UNDERTAKER,PAPA SHANGO and so many others catapulted the massive WARRIOR into SUPER STAR status and beyond. His legacy is set in stone. He was one of a kind. There have been imitators and there have been those that came before but nobody quite had the world clasped in their powerful grip quite like The ULTIMATE WARRIOR. Quite some time ago I put up a post titled " Wrestling,Giants and feats of strength " In it at one point I referred to the WARRIOR as a nut but that did not mean I am not a fan...of course I am a fan. He was a living breathing personification of everything I believe in. Dedication,commitment,Belief in ones self to be more than just what your potential may dictate. He talked the talk and walked the walk. He was IMMORTAL like HERCULES or GILGAMESH he was the ULTIMATE WARRIOR. His incredible physique was more or less the most impressive in the WWE at the time. He did not come by that because he sat at a desk and pushed pencils. He busted his ass...he became a multimillionaire due to his own GOD given strength and determination. Well someone commented and called me a douche bag after my post. ( They misspelled douche btw ) but listen. Believe me...I am a huge fan of the WARRIOR. Just because I called him a nut does not mean I never respected him. I'm a nut...my friends are nuts...Johnny Knoxville and all his Jackass friends are nuts. Get the picture? I respected the WARRIOR and always will. REST IN PEACE WARRIOR...

HERCULES says....

" HAVE A BEER !!! "

A whole Buncha HERC for the HELL of it!!!

Dwayne Johnson and his HERCULEAN back

This movie looks to me like it is going to be quite an EPIC...great supporting cast... and a bigger than life star. The anticipation is killing me...

Dwayne Johnson, The ROCK...New Hercules images.

The ROCK has been working hard to become the MIGHTY MAN GOD for the new film the HERCULES:THE THRACIAN WARS. Here are some pics I pulled off the web. Man oh man he's so pumped I think he may even be LARGER than Lou Ferrigno when he played HERC in two films. Visually I think this movie is going to be spectacular. I'm liking the Twitter sneak peaks Mr. Johnson has been putting on the web to share with us. I really dig the shot with the make-up guy painting over his tattoo. I'm sure there is going to be a ton of CGI but...not on the ROCK...he's the real deal.
