The trip is being labeled as “voluntary” but it is pretty clear that those who are asked to go an don’t will not be looked upon well by Vince McMahon.

– Fangoria.com, a top horror movie website, reports that the WWE movie starring Kane will be now called “Goodnight,” not the previously rumored title of “Eye Scream Man.” The site also praised what they saw of the film during a set visit, especially praising director Gregory Dark.
