Very sad to hear the passing of Sean Connery but the plus side, 90 is a long and great life. What can I say, he was a giant in film and one of those guys you can't believe would ever die. Women wanted him and men wanted to be him. Suave, a bad ass, and a man's man. Obviously, he'll always be remembered as James Bond and was a huge reason why the Bond series is one of the greatest franchises in movie history. Along with his seven outings, he was also great in The Untouchables (which he rightfully won an Oscar for), Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and The Rock to name some.
A blog about my interests. Namely wrestling and MMA along with other stuff like video games and music.

So October 21st is said to be Back To The Future day. I may have brought this up but why this date when it occurred in the second film? Why not October 26 where most of the present takes place or November 5 where Doc came up with the flux capacitor or November 12 when Marty went Back to the Future, lightning bolt hit the clock tower, Marty and Doc destroy the Sports Almanac, and Doc gets sent back to 1885? Technically, some have already pointed out there are several Back to the Future days.
Jan 1st: Doc is sent back to 1885
Sept 2nd: Marty goes back to 1885 to retrieve Doc
Sept 7th: The climax of Back to the Future Part III
Oct 21st: The beginning of Part II and Biff steals the almanac to create an alternate 1985
Oct 25th: The beginning of Back to the Future I
Oct 26th: Marty goes back to 1955, returns on this date, and most of the present is on this date
Oct 27th: Marty returns from 1885 and the end of the Part III takes place
Nov 5th: Marty travels to 1955 and Doc comes up with the flux capacitor
Nov 12th: Marty goes Back to the Future, Old Biff gives Young Biff the Sports Almanac, Marty and Doc burn the almanac, and Doc is sent to 1885

Most Notable One Hit Wonders In MMA

The term "One Hit Wonder" is a phrase perhaps mostly associated in the music world as it describes singers or bands with one hit single or album but were never able to recapture that success and eventually fell into obscurity. The phrase can also be used for Mixed Martial Arts. In the world of MMA, there are a variety of MMA champions. Some have won many titles and tournaments be it in one promotion or multiple promotions like Randy Couture, Dan Henderson, Fedor Emelianenko, Gegard Mousasi, Cris Cyborg, Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Some are strictly multiple time tournament winners like Royce Gracie, Don Frye, and Mirko Cro Cop. Finally, some have won just one major belt but either won it multiple times or successfully defended it many times like Jon Jones, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Liddell. Then, there are the one hit wonders, fighters who won one tournament in a major organization and never won another again or won a major championship from a major organization but lost it in their first defense and never won another again. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the notable fighters who won a major tournament or title but were never able to hold onto a title for long or recapture that success despite in some cases getting multiple opportunities. Before we start, I should point out I will only include fighters who won major honors so independent promotions don't count as a fighter could've had multiple honors in a smaller promotion. As far as champions go, the fighters on this list are those who only won one title and failed to successfully defend it. However, if they won a tournament before or after, they won't be on the list. For example, Kevin Randleman only won one UFC Heavyweight Championship but he successfully defended it so he won't be on the list. Guys like Forrest Griffin and Matt Serra won titles and never successfully defended them but they won The Ultimate Fighter so they won't be on the list.

2014: Dusty Rhodes 1st WWE Theme Song - Common Man Boogie [ᵀᴱᴼ + ᴴᴰ]
Today would've been the 75th birthday of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. He passed away in 2015, I believe due to kidney failure. The Bull of the Woods is still missed.

Very sad to hear about the death of Eddie Van Halen but not surprised as it's been well documented he's been battling cancer for years. They will never be another like him. Glad to say I saw Van Halen in 2007 at MSG and they were great. Wish I saw them more but better once than never. Even better was while it wasn't the original lineup as Eddie's son Wolfgang replaced Michael Anthony on bass, I did see the Van Halen brothers and David Lee Roth together.
