8 Unlikely WWE World Champions
With swamp messiah/eater of worlds/buzzard king Bray Wyatt set to defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33 -- live this Sunday, April 2nd -- we thought we'd flip back through the rolodex (reference to old thing!) of past WWE Champs and pick out some of the most unconventional and unlikely guys to ever hold WWE's top strap.
Now, these aren't all grim, ghoulish, monsters like Bray Wyatt, as "monster gimmick" wrestlers very rarely held the world gold -- save for Undertaker and Kane -- but they are performers who, for varying reasons, broke the particular mold at the time for what was considered an apex champion. From Charismatic Enigmas to Goat-Faced B Plus Players to Iraqi Turncoats, here are 8 outside-the-box, unlikely world champions.
Someone Turned N64 Into a Nintendo Switch Dock
One Nintendo Switch owner decided the system's standard dock wasn't good enough. So they replaced the plastic with a Nintendo 64.
That's right, YouTuber Tettzan Zone modded a Nintendo 64 to serve as the Switch's dock. The altered classic console even features USB ports in the front. Check it out below.
Now there is a notable missing feature. The modded N64 doesn't let you attach the Joy-Cons to the Switch whiled docked.
Speaking of the Switch's controllers, Nintendo recently confirmed that the left Joy-Con sync issues were caused by a manufacturing error.
Decoding Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix’s Titles
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix releases today for the PlayStation 4, and contains, in one form or another, six Kingdom Hearts games. However, what each of those games actually is, and what their titles mean, may be confusing for newcomers picking up the collection.
So, to clear things up for those looking to jump into the series, and offer a refresher for those returning to it, we’re taking a look at all six games included in the collection and decoding just what exactly those names mean.
Even the collection’s title itself might sound confusing to those uninitiated with the franchise — wouldn’t Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 just be Kingdom Hearts 4? Well, no, because we’re still waiting on Kingdom Hearts 3, but the title represents that this is a combination of two previous collections — Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMix and Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix. Each collection contained two fully remastered games each, as well as a watchable, cinematic remastering of one game each. All six of those entires are included in 1.5 + 2.5.

Venom Solo Movie Is Not Connected to MCU
Sony's upcoming Venom movie is not connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts has confirmed.
In an interview with Fandango, the director was asked if the Venom solo film is tied in any way to Spider-Man: Homecoming, to which he replied, "it's not. It's not connected to the Marvel world, so that's really intriguing... what that will be."
Watts went on to note that he doesn't know anything about the project. "It's not connected, so there's not that overlap," he reiterated. "I'm only focused on my movie right now."
