There are very few things that I get excited about in the entertainment world these days.  That may be due to the fact that the majority of the music, TV shows, and movies that come these days are just plain generic and awful.  June may change this trend forever…

I normally don’t rant and rave about upcoming releases, but if you don’t get excited about these next three things then something is definitely wrong with you.

First and foremost, being a long-time wrestling fan, I am TOTALLY pumped about the in-ring return of The Ultimate Warrior.  I’ve been a fan of wrestling since I was about 8 years old, and this guy is the reason behind it.  A good guy with a maniacal edge… and intensity that could fire you up to make you think you could stop a train by yourself.  The Warrior, which is his legal name now, is set to return to the ring on June 25th in Barcelona, Spain.  For more info, or to watch his day-by-day return go to UltimateWarriorTV.com

On the music side of things, two GREAT bands have long-awaited releases slated for June as well.  The Offspring and Weezer both bring HUGE album cuts that are playing all over the radio.  The Offspring’s first single “HammerHead” from the new album Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace is back to their originial brand of hard-hitting punk riffs and Misfit-like choruses.  If you don’t know what THAT means, then stop reading right now.  New album comes out on June 17th.  Check out their upcoming show dates on Offspring.com

Judging by the sound of the new single “Pork & Beans” from Weezer’s new self-titled release (AKA The Red Album June 24th), I can only assume that this will be a legendary album.  The crunching guitars and sing-along melodies demonstrate a TRUE talent, very rarely found in the music industry today: the ability for a song to give you goosebumps.  Don’t believe me?  Go listen to it right now on the homepage of Weezer.com

So far, June’s looking good.  Either way… stop watching reality TV… it’s stupid.
