Lance Storm will be rejoining IMPACT Wrestling as a coach and producer. The 52-year-old former WWE Tag Team champion confirmed the news after IMPACT announced that he would be over the Gut Check on March 6 at the Arnold Classic: The Gut Check at the Arnold Classic will be run by longtime wrestler Lance Storm and current IMPACT Wrestling personality John E. Bravo. In the early 2000s, Lance Storm retired from in-ring action to focus on his wrestling school which would become the Storm Wrestling Academy. He would come out of retirement for one-off bouts throughout the rest of the…

Let’s look at the rivalry between Sting and Vader from WCW. I feel that these bouts really defined peak-performance Stinger. In-ring Sting as he was pretty much everything WCW could want in a heavyweight superstar: a great look, charismatic, solid on the mic, and very athletic. Why These Two Rocked He could also work with roughly anyone and during the early 1990s, he delivered several bangers with two regular dance partners in Vader and Cactus Jack! Our focus is three matches against the Mastodon. This raises another thing I loved about Vader. He came along at a time in wrestling…

We haven’t looked at The Streak of the Undertaker in while, so we’re looking at his WrestleMania 23 bout against then World Champion Batista! The Road to WrestleMania 23 Prior to Royal Rumble 2007, Taker feuded with Mr. Kennedy who was really being a thorn in his side. While previous opportunities to enter the Royal Rumble match were snuffed by the brash youngster, the Deadman would win one of SmackDown’s famous Ruthless Aggression era battle royals. Best of the Streak: The Undertaker vs. Batista Not only did he win the battle royal on SmackDown, but he also did so two days…

We looked at the Big Boss Man in WCW and it was decided that for the part, he wasn’t salvageable. Now we’re looking at another WWE alum in Earthquake. He had a shorter run in WCW but let’s see if something bigger could’ve been done with the super heavyweight down south. Earthquake in WCW In 1994, Earthquake—or John Tenta—left the WWE and joined WCW thanks to Hulk Hogan having a lot of pull at the time. He came in as Avalanche and pretty much continued his gimmick from WWE. You might ask “What gimmick?” and you’d be correct. Even in WWE as…

Kane is a significant part of The Undertaker’s lore in that we actually got the origin of The Deadman after him being in the WWE for seven years at that point. While Taker has generally had storylines and angles worth following, his brother in destruction hasn’t been so lucky. It’s not that Kane hasn’t had a good number of entertaining feuds, matches, and overall creative direction but at his core, Kane was purely meant to be another brawling foe for The Undertaker at a time when he needed more to add to his overall lore and character. However, once WWE…

In a January 31 interview with the New York Times, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder voiced his disdain of 80s heavy metal band Motley Crue and the whole aesthetic of the glam metal scene. Now, Motley Crue bass player Nikki Sixx clapped back at Vedder’s comments. Nikki Sixx Isn’t Having Any of Eddie Vedder’s Motley Crue Slander During the interview, Vedder delved into a crew job he did loading gear at a venue in San Diego. This was during the late 80s when MTV was giving a lot of the L.A scene bands—particularly from the Sunset Strip—a lot of play.…

Dwayne Johnson has stepped back from his support of Joe Rogan after getting wind of the videos showing Rogan using the N-word surface. The comedian, UFC commentator, and podcast host of the popular The Joe Rogan Experience was under for spreading misinformation about COVID-19. Dwayne Johnson Backs Up from Support of Joe Rogan After History of Using the N-word Surfaces As a result, several artists and hosts such as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, India Arie, Roxane Gay, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash have removed their music from Spotify.

Hurt Business member Cedric Alexander has had his article vandalized to state that his spouse is tag team partner Shelton Benjamin and that they married this year. Alexander is married to AEW star Big Swole since June 2018. Wrestlers having their Wikipedia entries vandalized with inaccurate information is nothing new. There was a time when Paul Wight’s article was edited to state that he died October 29, 1995, after Hulk Hogan nudged him off the arena following the monster truck match. However, this continued vandalism just seems so odd and random as it is a reoccurring thing. A Serial Vandalizer…

Long-time Microsoft executive Phil Spencer will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the D.I.C.E Awards. Spencer has pretty much been a Microsoft lifer, starting with the company in 1988. A lot of his work early on was in developing Microsoft’s push towards CD-ROM which resulted in programs many used during the 90s such as Encarta and Picture It. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th D.I.C.E Awards He would move on to a role as GM over Microsoft’s gaming wing that dealt with European developers. His progress through Microsoft Studios would see…

With WWE 2K22 being in the works, we’re going to look at a few games in the promotion’s library. WWE has had numerous video games over the years. Today, most fans would be more familiar with the games made by Acclaim, THQ, AKI, and 2K Games. We’re going to look at three WWE video games you may have forgotten or never heard of at all. MicroLeague Wrestling (1987): One of The Most Obscure WWE Video Games This is the ooze of all WWE video games. MicroLeague Wrestling is pretty similar to mobile wrestling games in that it isn’t an action…
