    It's Halloween week here at WWE.com -- my favorite non-PPV-related time of the year in the Stamford HQ offices.

    Also, we've been sharing that creativity with you all week long on our WWE.com HalloWWEen page.  Make sure you spend a little time checking out the following features before they get put away until next year...

    A night in the City of Lights

    WWE Universe has touched down in the "City of Lights", Montreal, Quebec, Canada -- just hours before WWE Breaking Point at the Bell Centre. 

    And just as the WWE.com crew hopped the plane to the Great Not-Yet-White North (it's not quite cold enough yet...), huge news broke as the United States Championship will be up for grabs Sunday night, as Kofi Kingston defends against The Miz.

    We'll be talking more about this match and the other six exciting throwdowns on the WWE Breaking Point Live Chat, Sunday night starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.

    Don't miss your chance to chat with the Intercontinental Champion John Morrison, starting at 7:30 p.m.  Join Howard Finkel and me for a night of exciting action and live results from the Bell Centre, plus surprise guests all through the night.

    This is the Universe Live Chat crew's first excursion into Canada. Walking on Rue St.-Denis tonight, I got a good look at Old Montreal, and the beautiful waterfront.

    And also, upon recommendation of Live Chat co-host Howard Finkel, I tried a "smoked meat" sandwich here from a downtown eatery. Pretty delish, but I'm sure Jim Ross would rank Oklahoma-style BBQ above this sliced smoky beef.

    Plus, I took a quick trip to Casino Montreal ... doesn't this amazing post-modern building look like it was inspired by Superman's Fortress of Solitude?  Also, check out the cool BioSphere nearby.

    Well, it'll take Superman-like performances by current WWE Champion Randy Orton and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk to overcome their opponents in their "I Quit" and Submission Matches respectively.

    It's the ultimate test of endurance! It's WWE Breaking Point, and it's LIVE Sunday night, right here on WWE.com Webcast, PPV providers, and in our Live Chat section.

    We'll see you then!!

    Special "12 Rounds" screening for WWE Universe members!!

    Thursday, March 26, 2009, 12:31 PM EST [General]

    Hi WWE Universe,

    I just got an important e-mail from "12 ROUNDS" screenwriter Daniel Kunka, about a special get-together for WWE Universe members in Southern California.

    Here are all the details from Dan himself...

    Hey WWE Universe, let me introduce myself -- my name is Daniel Kunka and I'm the screenwriter of John Cena's upcoming film 12 ROUNDS. 

    I'm very excited for all of the great WWE fans to see the movie this weekend -- a lot of people worked really hard to bring you a roller-coaster ride of a movie, and as a lifelong fan of the WWE, I guarantee you that if you love the WWE, you're gonna love this movie.

    Now I'm sure like a lot of you, I went online yesterday to find a theater showing the movie so that all my friends could buy tickets early and plan out our Friday viewing.  This whole movie-making experience has been a pretty incredible ride, but I was almost in shock when I found out that 12 ROUNDS is opening at THE WORLD FAMOUS GRAUMAN'S CHINESE THEATER in Hollywood. 

    As a movie fan of any age, having a movie open at the Chinese Theater is really something special -- this is a Hollywood Icon, the place where STAR WARS premiered, an absolutely beautiful theater, 1,000 seat capactity, giant screen, incredible sound -- even if you're not a film buff I'm sure you've seen pictures of the decadent exterior and the "handprints in the sidewalk" of famous Hollywood stars and starlets.  So when I found out 12 ROUNDS would be showing there on Friday, I had to buy tickets for me and all my friends.

    And then I had an idea -- what better way to watch the movie than to invite the entire WWE Universe to watch it with me!!  That's right, I'm calling everyone out from the California Southland -- I'm calling you out from Burbank, from Valencia, from the OC, from Riverside, from West Los Angeles.  

    If you're a fan of the WWE, get your friends and family together, come down to Hollywood and make your opening night viewing of 12 ROUNDS one you'll never forget.   Seeing this movie with a 1,000 WWE fans in this theater would be the highlight of the entire movie experience for me -- I wrote the movie for you guys, we made the movie for you guys, and now I want to SEE it with you guys!

    So get your tickets for the 7:50 PM show this Friday, March 27th at Grauman's Chinese Theater.   Come down early, bring your WWE signs, dress in your fanciest tuxedo or dress like the Undertaker, I don't care, but just get yourself down to Hollywood on Opening Night and make 12 ROUNDS an experience you and I will never forget!

    Thanks for reading, and hope to see you all there on Friday at 7:50. 

    (And if any of you doubt that I'm a true WWE fan, find me in the crowd on Friday and ask me a trivia question -- I guarantee you can't stump me!)

    Thanks,
    Dan.


    PS -- and this doesn't mean that if you can't make it to Hollywood you shouldn't see the movie -- let's pack theaters across the country!

    Thanks Dan! If you're interested in meeting Dan and watching Lt. Danny Fisher (Cena) chase Miles Jackson with a thousand fellow members of "Cenation" at Grauman's Chinese Theater Friday night, you can get your tickets in advance through MovieTickets.com.

    And even if you can't make it to 12 ROUNDS in Hollywood, go to a showing at your local theater.  Use the WWE Studios Forum to help plan a member meet-up in your area, and wear your WWE gear proudly!

    VIDEO: John Cena on SNL

    Sunday, March 15, 2009, 12:24 PM EST [General]

    If you missed it last night (or just have an early bedtime), John Cena made a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live last night.

    Here's the video, with Cena playing a security guard at 30 Rock, trying to keep host Tracy Morgan out of the studio (NOTE: Outside the USA? Watch it on WWE.com here):

    Of course, this is just one week after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hosted SNL, and showed what it would be like for President Obama to "get angry."
