Today, the "Big App Show," an iPhone app show hosted by former MTV personality Adam Curry, posted part two of their WWE app series with guest WWE champion Sheamus. It turned out to be a timely plug for tonight's Summerslam PPV. (Read a report on Part 1 in the WWE News section.)

The supremely confident WWE champion sounded off on Randy Orton, practically going into promo mode. With seemingly no doubt in his mind, Sheamus said that Randy Orton will not win their match tonight. Referring to Orton, Sheamus proclaimed, "The fella doesn't stand a chance. After tonight, I'm going to put an end to RKO."

Sheamus and Curry then discussed how WWE has "taken over L.A." in the past week. They discussed WWE Raw having a double TV taping in Los Angeles before the company begins an international tour of Japan and China.

In today's Big App Show episode, Sheamus promoted the WWE "Legends of WrestleMania" game. Curry started the app and chose to play the game using his own created character. He selected Andre the Giant as his virtual opponent.

The match didn't last long. Curry gave up after Andre the Giant tossed his character out of the ring and started pummeling him. It should be noted that Curry unwittingly chose to play in "Superstar" mode, the most challenging difficulty available.

Curry chuckled while trying to explain how he hopes everyone else does a better job in the game than he just did. Sheamus cut him off, saying, "Can I just interrupt you? First of all, if you're going to try to show off in front of a WWE Superstar, I'd advise you to play for at least a couple of hours before you drag me into this studio."

Sheamus came off genuinely affable and good-humored. When chatting about his upcoming bout with Randy Orton at Summerslam, he was fearless and self-confident, but otherwise he seemed easygoing and cordial. In fact, after Curry's embarrassing attempt in the game, Sheamus joked, "I'm never gonna let you live that down, fella."

Wrapping up the interview, Curry plugged Summerslam and thanked Sheamus for coming in to talk about the WWE apps. The "Legends of WrestleMania" app costs $4.99 in the App Store.

Newth's Analysis: The graphics look impressive if this were being released on Super Nintendo in 1991. However, to its credit, it may provide a genuine video game feel and it does include various wrestling legends.

FYI: On a related note, you can download "The Big App Show" app and the PWTorch app for free in the App Store. The link to the "Big App Show" is here at itunes.apple.com.
