Today there’s an article about Ready 2 Rumble on Yahoo. Man, there’s press about this everywhere! (Not that that’s a bad thing!)
Yahoo: The game’s really got this sense of humor, and the celebrity angle maybe makes it more mainstream.
Me: Videogames are bigger than major motion pictures. Major stars are involved in them – to be involved in one means you’re, quote-unquote, “still in the game.” How could I not do this? A, they’re going to do it without me anyway, because it’s a parody; and secondly, if you can’t make fun of yourself and have fun with your life and your character, the people that you create, if you don’t look at the positive side of all the negatives and all the paparazzi… You know, people are interested in knocking you out! It’s great. How many people are going to want to go up against Stallone and punch out Rocky? How many people are going to want to punch out Arnold Schwarzenegger for saying “Kaly-fornya”? How many people want to punch out The Hoff because they can? I got a lot of people out there that really like me, and a lot of people that I think are kind of jealous of my Baywatch days. And, you know, it’s fun. We played it in the mall yesterday and there were like 14 people in the mall, and I had them all playing the game, and they were yelling and screaming and applauding. It was a lot of fun.
Check out the Yahoo link at the top of the post if you want to read the whole thing; I’m sure you do!
