"Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs The Rock- Wrestlemania 17
“Shaking hands with Satan himself.”
Wrestlemania 17, hands down, is the best Wrestlemania booked to date. Apart from a horribly short Women’s Championship match with Chyna facing off against Ivory, from the opening match to the main event, every match was great.
The main event of the show was "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs The Rock. The previous year, Austin had been recovering from long needed neck surgery sustained at the hands of Owen Hart at Summerslam 1997. During his time away, superstars like The Rock and Triple H stepped up their game and became main event players in their own right. When you are out of action for close to a year, there is a very real fear that by the time you get back in the ring you would have lost a step or two. Or worse, that the fans would...

Ever since his WWE debut back in 1990 The Undertaker has been pushed like no other Superstar has. Thus, whenever he has lost a match it has always been a big deal.
Instead of being shoved down fans’ throats against their will like John Cena and Roman Reigns have been down the years, Vince McMahon has been subtle in the way he has booked the Deadman. He hasn’t always been in the WWE Championship picture, but he’s always been in a meaningful position close to the top of the card. It’s one of the main reasons we haven’t grown tired of the Phenom over the last 26 years.
Of course, the nature of the Undertaker gimmick demands this treatment. He’s already dead, essentially, so no one should be able to beat him. When he goes down, it’s usually because of a outside interference that...

Every once in a while, a pay-per-view event comes from out of nowhere to rank among the greatest ever produced by a given wrestling promotion. That was the case when WWE rolled into Las Vegas, Nevada, for its No Way Out pay-per-view in 2001. With two huge main events and a plethora of talented wrestlers making up the rest of the card, there was reason to believe that the show would be damn good.
Few could have expected that it would be as damn good as it turned out to be.
From the opening Hardcore Championship match to Stephanie McMahon’s emotional showdown with Trish Stratus, even the matches fans expected to be more style than substance shocked with their quality.
Rarely, if ever, does WWE present a show that excels from beginning to end. On that Sunday night nearly 15 years ago, they did just that.

WWE’s February pay-per-views are typically the last major stop on the road to WrestleMania. They are the shows that feature (at least some of) the final significant swerves and championship victories ahead of the Showcase of the Immortals. In some instances, they even drastically alter the direction the company takes its top feuds and how they use their biggest stars.
The shows have been home to epic encounters and five-star classics. From Steve Austin vs. Triple H in 2001 to Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker in 06, WWE’s February broadcasts have brought fans truly enduring matches.
For every Cactus Jack vs. Triple H Hell in a Cell match, though, there are three or four matches that royally reek of sucktitude. Like, Scott Steiner circa 2003 sucking. Or Blue Meanie vs. Goldust in a battle of He Who is Freakier suckiness.

The February 9th, 1998 episode of Raw was the go-home show for the upcoming No Way Out (of Texas) pay-per-view, due to be headlined by an unsanctioned 8-man tag featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin, Owen Hart, Cactus Jack, and Chainsaw Charlie taking on D-Generation X.
As it turned out, Hbk’s nagging back injuries prevented him from wrestling on the show, and he was replaced by…Savio Vega. Yeah. Even so, Raw slid the chess pieces firmly in place ahead of WrestleMania, further heightening the feud between Austin and Dx, while the show’s remainder was comprised of the usual mix of hilarious, weird and lame that defines just about any Attitude Era episode of Raw.
And with the release of Sunny’s porno, Sunny Side Up, this week, what better time to consider all the sad difference that 18 years can make?

When viewers last saw AMC's The Walking Dead, the situation was dire and on the verge of violence. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Andrew Lincoln discussed the show's upcoming dark turn, Rick's changing leadership style, and more.
Speaking with EW's Dalton Ross, Lincoln talked about his love for the "back eight" episodes of The Walking Dead Season 6:
"I will say that five of my favorite episodes in a long time — and very different episodes — are in this back eight."
Lincoln also touched on what Episode 609, "No Way Out", has in store for Rick Grimes and company:
"[Showrunner Scott M. Gimple] and the writers have done a very smart thing in that they’ve thrown a lot of propositions and questions and challenges to Rick and the family and the community, and you will quickly realize they are answered in a very shocking, brilliant, terrifying, epic way.

For 20 years, sandwiched between the two biggest Pay Per Views of the year, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, stands the February Pay Per View. From 2000 until 2009 (plus 1998), it was called No Way Out. From 2010 until 2014, it was called the Elimination Chamber. Last year and this year, it’s now called Fastlane.
The February Pay Per View is a lot more interesting than the September Pay Per View because the writing team is still in its creative peak as they build the Road to Wrestlemania. Stakes are pretty high for a non-big four Pay Per View. A major theme involves the Royal Rumble winner putting his Wrestlemania title shot on the line, which happened at the 1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2006, and 2015 editions of the February Pay Per View (the Rumble winner was actually going for the championship at the 1997 and 2008 editions). Interestingly enough, only Shawn Michaels in 1996 and Roman Reigns in 2015 successfully defended their title shots,...

For 11 years, No Way Out was the final pay-per-view stop on the road to World Wrestling Entertainment’s WrestleMania. Home of some extraordinary matches and moments that have been indelibly etched in the memories of those who watched them, the event was must-see broadcasting for fans as WWE marched toward the biggest event of its calendar year.
Unfortunately, the event disappeared from the schedule, replaced by a show devoted to the Elimination Chamber match. It was a disappointing end to a show with such tradition and history behind it. An event that featured extraordinary wrestling matches, monumental returns and the first hints of what fans could expect from the Showcase of the Immortals, No Way Out was one of the signature events during WWE’s hottest period as a company.
Now, some seven years after the very last incarnation of the event, we relive the 12 matches and moments that helped define the event.

WWE 2K16 is less than a month away, and a post on the 2K forums has revealed the confirmed Stone Cold Steve Austin matches in 2K Showcase Austin mode.
There’s some classics in there, no doubt about that. Getting to play through Austin’s epic feud with Bret Hart that culminated at WrestleMania 13, and his unforgettable match with The Rock at WrestleMania 17, it is going to be a nostalgic rollercoaster of excitement.
But there’s also a range of classics that 2K have neglected to include. Some of the omissions are forced on 2K, as not every wrestler from the period is under a WWE contract or were available for the game. Other omissions are blatant oversights, but at least the overall quality of the Austin content looks good.
The matches to be included are-
vs. Pillman – Clash Of The Champions Xxv
vs. Steamboat – Bash At The Beach ’94

Great wrestling matches can be found anywhere but genuine classics are few and far between. To have a classic match, there are a lot of things that must go smoothly and a lot of factors to consider.
Classic matches are usually the result of a good storyline, the performers being on the same page and having good timing, the right amount of time and, usually, a little bit of luck. When all of these things come together and a classic is had it is rightly celebrated and promoted.
The WWE has had countless classic matches in its long history, as evidenced by the recent WWE.com article ‘ The100 Best Matches To See Before You Die’. Among the hundred matches on that list are many genuine classics that stand the test of time and have their rightful place in wrestling history.

I swing both ways at the cinema. The big screen – and all its heat, lust and longing – is an equal opportunity seducer
Here is how the conversation has gone in my house for the last few weeks:
Me: Look at this, honey! Magic Mike is getting great reviews.
My wife: I'm not going to see that.
Me: Why not?
My wife: Ok. One: waxed chests. Two: the state of Florida. Three: Channing Tatum. And four: it's about male stripping.
Me [a little startled by her precision]: I think that's a great idea for a movie. Have you ever seen a film about male strippers before?
My wife: The Full Monty. That I liked. That was a comedy.
Me [picking up the newspaper]: Don't you think it should be taken seriously? Soderbergh's film is all about "deferred dreams" … "the hawkers and hustlers on capitalism's lowest rung" … "The pathos behind the glitter and thongs".
My wife: Not my thing.
Me [grumpily]: Ok,...

With all the hype surrounding the controversial album cover, the upcoming short film and the ongoing "G.O.O.D. Fridays" project, there is one fascinating story that has gotten a bit lost in the run up to the release of Kanye West's new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. During the Los Angeles premiere of "Runaway," West revealed that the next single from the album (the third overall, after "Power" and "Runaway") will be a track called "All of the Lights," and it will feature a staggering list of guest stars. On that track, there are drop-ins from Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Elton John, Fergie, John Legend, The-Dream, Tony Williams, Kid Cudi, Charlie Wilson, Ryan Leslie and La Roux's Elly Jackson. "It's completely seamless and completely ghetto as f---," West said of the track.

When movie lovers think of a lone hero trapped in a high-rise controlled by bad guys, the classic Bruce Willis actioner Die Hard comes to mind. Released in 1988, the film made Willis more than just that guy from Moonlighting and started a new genre, the contained space action movie.

About a year prior, Charlie Band, who would strike gold with the Dtv Puppet Master horror films, produced a small action movie set in New York about an insurance salesman who finds himself in a Die Hard situation with a local gang.

In Shops This Week:
Plunder #1
Writer: Swifty Lang
Artist: Skuds McKinley
Publisher: Boom! Studios
Price: $4
Description: After facing off with an illegal Chinese vessel, a gang of Somali pirates tries to board what they think is a research vessel, only to find themselves in the midst of a massacre. As their worst nightmares become reality, the 14-year-old boy who went from translator to reluctant pirate not only becomes the key to survival, but must decide for himself how far he is willing to go in the name of self-preservation.
Our Take: A premise that seems a bit shaky delivers true horror in spades. Taking shades of The Thing and 28 Weeks Later, this comic starts off intriguing then takes a sharp right into pure nightmare territory. The characters themselves even describe their predicament as a nightmare and really, they’re not exaggerating; this is a truly intense horror comic
