When it comes to the greatest pro wrestlers in the pantheon of legends the sport has to offer, there are a few names that will always rise to the top of the list. Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, HBK. These names are synonymous with sports entertainment. But, there is one other name that is on that list, one that should be on everyone’s Mount Rushmore of wrestling: The Icon, Sting. With a long and storied career in the sport, Sting was the foundation of WCW. After WWE bought the company, Sting went on to a successful run in…

The Hollywood landscape is changing forever. Thanks to the global pandemic that effectively shut down the movie and television industry to a grinding halt, delaying releases, closing theaters, stopping productions and more, studios are trying to get creative with how they will release their films moving forward. While some companies, like Marvel Studios, just pushed back their slate of films by a year, other studios are trying different approaches. Case in point: Hot off the heels of announcing that Wonder Woman 1984 coming to HBO Max the same day as cinemas, Warner Bros. Studios will release their entire 2021 slate…

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe steamrolls forward with their Phase 4 and beyond, they are setting up for a powerful 2021 and the rest of their future.

Bringing the television realm into the fold expands the possibilities for Marvel, and one series looks to set up a big point for the MCU. Hawkeye looks to expand on Clint Barton’s story, but also showcase his new protégé, Kate Bishop. Now, thanks to some leaked behind…

For anyone who is a lifelong pro wrestling fan, there are some names synonymous with the sport. Ric Flair, the greatest of all time. Harley Race. Bruno Sammartino. High Chief Peter Maivia. Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat, Rocky Johnson. There is another name most fans know. He was the first ever Intercontinental Champion. He had a resurgence as one of Vince McMahon’s ‘stooges’ during the Attitude Era. He even holds the record for oldest champion in WWE, having won the 24/7 Championship briefly last year at age 78. I’m talking, of course, about WWE Hall of Famer and legend, Pat Patterson.…

Ever since the global pandemic hit, the world has been turned upside down. The disease has caused massive shutdowns for tons of different industries, like the film industry, bars, and even schools. Of the latter, many states have gone to distance learning, locking down the schools to stop mass groupings and help to curb the spread of the pandemic. But now, as Spider-Man 3 has begun production in Atlanta, there is some frustration from the locals due to two of the locations used for the film. The Spider-Man films have had a steady location of the Midtown School of Science…

Jaws is considered one of Hollywood’s greatest films, and rightfully so. While the debate over whether the film is a horror movie or not still rages on today, everyone agrees at the impact this film had. While technically not legendary director Steven Spielberg’s first film, it definitely put him on the map. It also changed cinema forever, bringing focus to the mega summer blockbuster. It also gave all of us a fear of the water and a phobia of sharks. The honor of bestowing that fear goes to ‘Bruce’ the animatronic shark used in the film. Now, Bruce has been…

It all starts in January with WandaVision followed by the Black Widow prequel film in May. Starting the summer, Marvel looks to introduce new character to the fold. We’re getting Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in July and then arguably the most anticipated group comes in November: Eternals. The group of enhanced immortals look to span the entire history of the…

While we all love a massive blockbuster movie that set records and blows our minds, sometimes there is nothing better than a cult classic B movie. You know, the kind of movie that is so bad, it’s good. Case in point – The Toxic Avenger. This 1984 low budget action comedy was just awful, in all the best ways. It’s one of those movies you pop on just to get lost in and you enjoy it regardless how bad it may be. Now, we all may get to revisit this classic as Troma Entertainment has partnered with Legendary Pictures to…

Marvel has been dealing with the delays involved with COVID-19 just like every other studio. They’ve pushed back all of their release dates and made arrangements to safely restart production on upcoming and halted projects. The solo Black Widow film, which was already completed, now awaits its new release date, a year after its original. Eternals and other Marvel Cinematic Universe films that started production have implemented proper protocols to begin production again- and this includes their Disney Plus shows. WandaVision finished up reshoots and post-production and is ready for home release in the middle of January of 2021. The…

The most iconic movie villain of all time is a highly debated topic. But there is one villain who typically is at the top of that list, and has become the litmus test for movie villains. With a massive presence, hulking demeanor, and callous manner, Darth Vader was terrifying and menacing on the silver screen. And, while he was voiced by the legendary James Earl Jones, another man played under the mask for the original trilogy of Star Wars films. David Prowse, a British actor and accomplished body builder, wore the helmet and cape throughout Episodes 4, 5 & 6,…
