![]() The second DLC release set for December will have a modern flavor, as it includes five current Superstars and Divas as well as more than 30 new moves and taunts. That kind of versatility makes Hennig a must-buy DLC Superstar. Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhodes and Jake "The Snake" Roberts are just a few of the wrestlers who could have some fantastic and realistic matches with Hennig in the game. Hennig's inclusion is great not only due to the fact that he can be paired with his nWo comrades, but also because he can be utilized against some of the other WWE stars he battled as Mr. Hennig had plenty of success under his real name in WCW, though, as he became a United States and Tag Team champion while with the promotion and proved that he could still wrestle with the best of them even as he got up there in age. Under that gimmick, Hennig went on to become one of the greatest Intercontinental champions of all time. Hennig is best known for his time in WWE as Mr. The Giant, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Syxx and Scott Steiner are all included, but Curt Hennig has to be the most intriguing addition of all. Not only are "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash included on the main roster, but several other WCW stars will be available as part of the nWo DLC pack, which is scheduled to be released in November. While WWE 2K14 focuses largely on WWE history due to the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode, there is no doubt that it has a decidedly WCW flavor as well. Keep reading for further analysis regarding some of the most intriguing DLC that WWE 2K14 has to offer. Jay Ward’s Animated Cereal Capers is now available on Amazon.Included within the roster are a number of Superstars who will be available through downloadable content in the coming months, as seen here. Let’s put on our Quake hardhats and go back into the cave. It’s akin to the gold nuggets left behind in an old mine shaft. They are the virtually undiscovered cartoons, often not given much thought, but deserving of closer examination. Jay Ward’s animated cereal commercials are a part of the studio’s history. Burns, an Emmy-Award winning screenwriter of “Munsters” and Mary Tyler Moore” fame, is keenly aware nothing in his resume has achieved the global recognition of Cap’n Crunch. Tasked with the assignment, on short notice, to come up with an idea, he scribbled out an old navigator and some kids that would sail aboard a ship known as the Guppy. Perhaps Allan Burns knows best how a sidebar can become iconic. Some entries provide a few detail, but why not a little book about the Cap’n and his Quaker Oats friends? Was it possible to write a book that wouldn’t get soggy in milk? The wonderful world of Jay Ward’s animated cereal commercials has become a sidebar to the studio’s history. It’s fair to say I learned to read via cereal boxes and comic books, not from going to school. Often the back had games, puzzles, or some incredible offer for a premium we could not live without. Like zombies, we stared at the colorfully illustrated boxes. Many of us have fond memories of how the cereal box stayed on the kitchen table when we ate breakfast. And, of course, I begged mom to get the cereals at the grocery store. To me, they were animated mini-adventures sandwiched in between my favorite Saturday morning cartoons. Even at a young age, I knew the Cap’n Crunch, and Quisp and Quake cartoon commercials were created by the same folks. I grew up in the early 1960’s as a fan of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. Ward’s team gave him some artistic flair. ![]() George Lois of Papert, Keonig and Lois Advertising, created Quake. Quake was originally supposed to be a fairy. Ward studios, who created Quisp, tried to come up with his rival but failed. But it appears Quake was doomed from the start. Quisp and Quake, the alien from another world, and the miner from the Earth’s core, engaged in a popularity battle for over a decade. ![]() And after that, for a few years, produced King Vitaman cartoons. Wwe 2k14 cap n crunch series#Ward is the same team that rolled out Quisp and Quake in another series of animated commercials a couple of years later. Cereals had mascots, but to name one after a character was untested water. It was the first time any cereal company launched a brand named after a character. My latest Cartoon Research mini-book, Jay Ward’s Animated Cereal Capers, presents the Cap’n’s story and the men behind his creation in 1962. Guppy is nearly 700-years-old? And, if he submitted a sample to 23andMe DNA it would reveal he was half Viking and half Native-American? The Cap’n’s mother was a “young Indian girl” named Gidget Running Star. It’s a safe bet to say anyone reading this knows Cap’n Crunch. ![]()
