It’s not hard to pinpoint the time frame that influenced artist Christopher Lee. He’s clearly a fellow child of the 80s, and a talented one at that.

Every year the WWE holds their Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony the night before Wrestlemania.

I will start off by admitting that I was a full-fledged Hulkamaniac back in the day and will probably always be one. I trained, prayed and ate my vitamins- and when “Real American” would start playing I cheered for the Hulkster to get to the ring and rip his shirt off before ripping into his [...]

Film directed by Brett Whitcomb. In the late 1980s, David McClane carved a niche in the worlds of professional wrestling and weekly television. His creation, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.), emphasized the innate goofiness of pro wrestling with a roster of women wrestling under colorful personas. G.L.O.W.’s blend of style and silliness kept it [...]

At last, we have come to the end of the Prequel Era. As Disney commences with re-defining the Star Wars brand, or “brand-scrubbing” as this EW column puts it, it seems Lucasfilm is trying to wipe Anakin Skywalker and the Clonetroopers from our consciousness (have at it). Last week they announced that we’d already [...]
