The story of World Championship Wrestling is one of an amazing rise but then a tragic fall that was hard to watch. While the American wrestling promotion spent much of its early days as second best, WCW figured itself out at a time when the World Wrestling Federation was destroying itself in the ’90s. WCW rose up and became what seemed like an unstoppable force before tripping on its own success while WWF recovered from its mistakes and regained traction. Having lost all that momentum, WCW did itself no favors by spending the next several years making every single bad decision possible. They absolutely could not get a win if they tried.
Now the dead promotion is considered a cautionary tale and a pile-on for jokes about the Shockmaster, David Arquette, the Fingerpoke of Doom, Hulk Hogan being humped by a giant mummy, the fumbling of Steve Austin, Judy Bagwell on a forklift,...

In its fourth year for 2022, the Pfl Championship is relatively young (compared to, say, the World Cup), but the Mma event has proven to be a must-watch for combat sports fans. This year is no different, with a headlining lightweight championship fight between Kayla Harrison and Larissa Pacheco, as well as five other championship fights — each with 1 million on the line — and a handful of exciting prelim matches.

You might think you know Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead from their 75-year-old comic book history, but the CW’s new drama Riverdale is exploring a much different side to these classic characters.
While the new show is set in and around the lives of the four famous characters, beginning in high school, this first season revolves mainly around a murder mystery plot. There is plenty of “normal” high school drama and teenage angst, but this modern interpretation of the comics also covers topics like social justice issues, sexuality and feminism — a story arc the young cast members couldn’t...

The annual award was created to recognise Australia.s top 10 emerging actors, modelled on the Berlin Film Festival.s Shooting Stars initiative.
.The list of the next big things, actors whose careers will pop overseas in the very near future, was chosen by full-time casting directors, not a celebrity list of actors," Cga president Greg Apps tells If. "We wanted to claim ownership of our rising stars before the Us does."
Dr George Miller presented the Sirius award at the ceremony in Sydney on Monday night hosted by Sarah Snook and Ewen Leslie.

Here's our first look at Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rackham in the Gavin Hood-directed adaptation of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Rackham trains Ender in the movie. The image was released in anticipation of the first trailer for the movie which is set to be released on May 7th. Here's what Kingsley had to say about the character in an interview with EW,
In the script, which I think is beautifully written, what come across is the authority and mystery. There’s quite a lot said about him in the story before you see him — by the recruits and by his fellow officers — and that’s useful as far as preparations.
He goes on to talk about the tattoo on his face saying,
Every gesture in the tattoo carries family history, family struggles – it’s your past. I was so enthralled. He’s in quite a contained, stylized...

We finally have our first official photo from the long awaited big screen adaptation of Orson Scott Card's Ender's game! It features Harrison Ford as Colonel Graff and Asa Butterfield as Ender facing off. The photo features some of the other new Battle School recruits known as "Launchies". In this scene Graff is confronting Ender on whether his emails to home are being blocked.
The movie is being directed by X-Men Origins: Wolverine director Gavin Hood who talks about the relationship between Ford and Butterfield saying,
The relationship between [Harrison] and Asa was very close, but he didn’t overly befriend him off the set. He helped Asa by allowing that slight sense of intimidation to be there. The kids have to attend school for at least three hours of class every day, plus do homework, so you can only shoot with someone like Asa for five hours of your day.

Hey, this doesn’t look so bad at all! We have an exclusive first look at Colonel Hyrum Graff and Ender Wiggin in Summit Entertainment’s adaptation of Ender’s Game novel! Or, if you prefer – we finally have a chance to see young Asa Butterfield and his mentor Harrison Ford in the movie which comes from director Gavin Hood, and is already set to open next November! Check out the rest of this report to take a better look at the pic!
So, as we previously reported, Hood’s movie is an adaptation of Orson Scott Card‘s novel of the same name which centers on an unusually gifted child sent to an advanced military school in space to prepare for a future alien invasion.
Well, one thing is for sure – when your mentor is Harrison Ford, you have nothing to worry about. At least on a big screen.

Happy Thanksgiving. It's been a terrific month for mining new music. I caught an advance screening of Led Zeppelin's new concert movie at MoMA (and their press conference), discovered what may be my favorite album of the year, and found inspiring young musicians sharing their chops and muses with the world. With the holidays around the corner, here are some early suggestions for music very much worth sharing with friends, lovers, bosses, and family.
"You're So Great / It's All Right, Ma" Wendy James You're So Great E.P. (Cobraside)
If Brit-born/NYC-based Ms. James's claim-to-fame-band Transvision Vamp was a tad too sugar-pop coated for your New Yawk punk rawk palette, not to worry. Thanks to guitarist James Williamson (Iggy Pop Stooge) and drummer James Sclavunos (Nick Cave alumnus), she's found some downtown 'tude. The A-side is a fun retro Ramones-style punk ditty, but it's the flip-side Grinderman-grind Dylan cover where it all comes together.

Johnny Depp sure proved he's not "all hat and no cattle," as the saying goes, while in town for a showing of "The Rum Diary" at the Austin Film Festival.
The actor surprised fans by rocking out at the Continental Club after the screening. This old school South Austin joint is famous for its live music scene and has hosted a wide range of acts, from Kinky Friedman to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Depp got on the Continental's stage with the Og bearded hipster Billy Gibbons of Zz Top and Bill Carter of Bill Carter and the Blame.
If you need any proof that Johnny Depp has a photo of himself hidden in a closet somewhere a la Dorian Grey, here's a YouTube video of his old band P, which included lead Surfer of Buttholes Gibby Haynes and Bill Carter, playing at SXSW in 1993. (Also worth noting! Gibby Haynes' father...

Sweet child o' mine! Remember when Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses frontman, could totally rock a pair of latex pants and a ratty t-shirt and still pass for hair-band sexy? Those days are over, friends.
On Monday (Oct. 3), what passes for Guns N' Roses these days played the Rock in Rio Festival in Brazil. Not only did he deliver a "lackluster" performance, according to Amplifier, he was also practically unrecognizable.
Maybe he's been doing a little too much "Dancing with Mr. Brownstone," but 49-year-old Rose sported a bright yellow long blazer/duster/raincoat/abomination that instantly drew our attention to his new up-sized figure. To complete the Ineffective Witness Protection Program look, he topped off his yellow beacon with a black hat and sunglasses.
We're trying to decide if he looks more like Stevie Ray Vaughn or Greg Allman.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is out with their 2011 nominees. Topping the list are the seminal '80s band Guns N' Roses, alternative darling The Cure and funk-metal group Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as Heart and the Beastie Boys.
In a statement, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Joel Peresman says, "The 2012 Nominees embody the broad scope of what 'rock and roll' means.

There are two arguments that always erupt every year when the nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum are announced: Did this year's nominees deserve to be tapped and why the hell aren't these bands on the list!?
It's the latter that typically makes the most waves, as die-hard fans of such bands as Kiss, Rush, Journey, Chicago and the Moody Blues fire up their laptops and send out hot tweets of death to the powers-that-be over their favorite acts being passed over … again!
Some groups, like greasepaint rockers Kiss, have been overlooked for so long that not only do they not care anymore, they've come to see their exclusion as a badge of honor and have actively campaigned against induction. Other long-time shut outs, such as the Sex Pistols and Black Sabbath (class of 2006), felt the same way until they were ushered in.
