Gotta love hearing that Harrison Ford will return as Indiana Jones but it will be in 2019. Look, Ford is one of the greatest action stars in American Cinema but he'll be 77 when it comes out. Even Charles Bronson stopped doing Death Wish movies before he turned 75 and here I thought Death Wish V coming out two months after his 72nd birthday was getting up there. Then again, if he can survive a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge then he'll be fine.
Time for WWE and Others to Once Again Acknowledge Chris Benoit Existed

The story of Chris Benoit's double murder/homicide is well known by now as well the fact that many including the WWE have tried to avoid discussing Benoit and have more or less erased him from the history books. While there was no justifiable reason for his actions, it's still ridiculous to try and pretend that he's never existed. Before I begin this article, I want to set the record straight that I don't agree or condone what Benoit did. However, I do think he did what he did not because he was a monster but because was mentally ill which I go further into.

Seinfeld- the dominicans
I'm not getting political here but I hear that President Obama is visiting Cuba but my problem is that I think he'll only meet Raul Castro and not his or Fidel's brother: Dennis, er, Duane who Kramer's Dominicans supposedly rolled cigars for. Sorry, with Cuba in the news, I had to get that Seinfeld joke in.

Wrestlemania VII: What Happened?
Wrestlemania VII: What Happened?
March 7, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
On April 1, 1990, The World Wrestling Federation held Wrestlemania VI at Skydome drawing 67,678 people. It was a historic event but among the big things to happen at the show, one big moment was the company thinking ahead and making the huge announcement that Wrestlemania VII would be held at The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with the hope being that they would get 100,000 fans to attend and break all records. At the time, it seemed huge and WWF had all the momentum in the world to make it work as they had the TV and the talent both present and future. Yet, The World Wrestling Federation would lose momentum throughout 1990 and nine months later in January 1991, The WWF came to the realization that they wouldn't come close to selling the coliseum and moved the show to The Los Angeles Sports Arena. So what happened? How did The WWF go from planning to get 100,000 people at the Coliseum to having to settle for 16,158 fans at the Sports Arena? Well, with the 25th anniversary of the event coming up this March 24th, we'll take a look at the missteps The WWF had throughout 1990 that saw them destroy their momentum as well as the bad luck and somewhat bad timing.
