Thurs. #1 is HERE. To help the website out please subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan so we can reach 1,000 (current count: 818). If you're a gamer you'll enjoy the content! Don't miss Thursday Night AMP taping tonight at 9 PM ET! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Thursday's latest news.

WWE has announced "meet and greet" sessions with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at Royal Rumble Axxess on Sunday ahead of the PPV. These replace previously scheduled events with Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre that were canceled -- for what reason (other than perhaps that they are heels and nobody was buying tickets) I have no idea. (WWE) Furthermore if you really want to meet the McMahons that bad be prepared to shell out $150. YIKES!

Speaking of the Rumble, get ready to hit the treadmill if you eat this heart attack on a bun at Chase Field: "Meet the Royal Rumble Burger. We put an 18 oz. pork bratwurst patty on a toasted onion roll. Then we added Cheddar cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, crispy coleslaw, fried onions and BBQ aioli. And then we topped it with fried mac and cheese wedges. Available this Sunday!" Also available -- an ambulance to take you to the ER. (Who am I kidding though? I'd eat it.)

I know not everybody is a fan of the man after the (unproven) allegations against him last year, but putting that aside kudos to James Ellsworth for taking the polar plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. Brrrrrr!
