The WWE has declined to renew its contract with Hall of Fame wrestler and broadcaster Jerry “The King” Lawler.
Lawler joined the WWF (which later became the WWE) as a commentator in 1992, working on Superstars. In the early ’90s, he defeated Bret Hart and was named “Undisputed King of the World Wrestling Federation.” While he continued to wrestle, Lawler was a broadcaster for Raw, SmackDown! and WWE pay-per-views until 2016.
Lawler has not been been featured on a WWE TV broadcast for over a year, but he still has a legends deal that allows him to work with the organization on merch and other licensing. Despite his departure from the broadcast team, Lawler is said to still have a great relationship with the company. Indeed, he was backstage at SmackDown in Memphis in March.

Glen Powell is using his undeniable charm to put people behind bars in the new trailer for Netflix’s Hit Man. The streaming service released the official trailer for the Richard Linklater-directed film on Thursday, showing Powell as a strait-laced professor with a hidden talent as a fake hit man.
As a part-time, undercover hit man for the New Orleans Police Department, Gary Johnson (Powell) takes on several disguises sporting fake teeth, strawberry bobs, leather trench coats, and three-piece suits to lure in criminals. But he loses focus after meeting client Madison,...

WrestleMania, WWE’s flagship event, has seen its fair share of unforgettable moments, from jaw-dropping performances to shocking outcomes. However, not all WrestleMania matches have been met with unanimous praise. Here’s a rundown of the top 10 most controversial WrestleMania matches that stirred up the wrestling world:
10) Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock
This match pitted two generations of wrestling icons against each other. The Toronto crowd’s unexpected reaction, cheering for Hogan (the supposed heel) over The Rock (the babyface), turned the match into an unintended display of fan sentiment.
9) Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna
WrestleMania IX concluded with a controversial finish as Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart for the WWE Championship only for Hulk Hogan to intervene immediately and win the title from Yokozuna. This impromptu change left many fans scratching their heads.

As of this writing, there have been well over 400 WrestleMania matches since the event began back in 1985. Since then, countless WWE wrestlers (and even a couple celebrities) have battled it out in so many different ways and with quality that runs the gamut from unwatchable to undeniable. In what is supposed to be WWE’s biggest annual show, some matches fall short, but others rise to the occasion and put together some unforgettable performances.
But today we’re celebrating the very best matches WrestleMania has ever offered wrestling fans. But first, some ground rules. First, as there are so many WrestleManias to cover, we are only going to allow one entry per event. The modern shows with two nights of festivities will only count as one combined event. Second, to keep things from becoming repetitive, there will be no match redundancies. If two wrestlers battled it out in multiple WrestleManias,...

In the summer of 1996, the World Wrestling Federation held its annual King of the Ring tournament. After weeks of matches, the semis and finals were set for June 23rd, 1996, with Stone Cold Steve Austin facing Jake “The Snake” Roberts for the crown later in the night. Roberts, then known for working from a Christian angle, would cut a promo before the match doing just that. Just before Austin took the ring and pinned Roberts, he was tipped about the promo’s contents.
After the five-minute match, Austin stood next to the same man who tipped him off, Michael Hayes. And it was there that a legend and a catchphrase were born, and an entire industry was born again. With a mouth full of blood, Stone Cold Steve Austin told his defeated opponent: “You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere!

Amidst fan-casting for every up-and-coming flick from a major studio, Henry Cavill seems to be in the driver’s seat all the time. Be it the next James Bond, Captain Britain, or Wolverine, Cavill seems to be topping everyone’s must-have cast list. While they’re mostly just rumors, it doesn’t stop his fans from picturing him star in their dream-come-true flick.
Given Cavill’s reputation as a hardcore gamer, it was only a matter of time before people pictured him in a Call of Duty movie. While he is already letting his inner geek shine with his Warhammer project, gamers and Cavill-swooners cannot stop picturing him as Captain Price of Modern Warfare fame ever since a report indicated Cavill is set to star in a long overdue, rumored Call of Duty movie.

As is the case with Roman Reigns in modern WWE, sometimes a champion’s reign lasts way too long. But the opposite can also be true. Somebody could get a big title win and only hold onto the belt for a few weeks, possibly even days, before being forced back to square one. For one reason or another, there are a select group of wrestlers in WWE who dropped the title way earlier than they should have.
On this list of wrestlers who needed more time with their championships, we will not be including those who were forced to vacate due to injury. It seems too easy an answer, so here’s an honorable mention for Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, Edge, and the rest of the champs who had to vacate the belt for physical reasons.

The release date for WWE 2K24 is getting closer, and fans have been waiting to get their hands on it. The upcoming title will also include a 40 Years of WrestleMania edition, so fans can look forward to reliving some iconic matches. The roster for the game is also looking good, with several returning characters joined by a few surprise entries.
Among them, however, fans have noticed the absence of one superstar, leading to a lot of confusion, especially as the Showcase mode is filled with former WWE legends, so missing out on this particular superstar makes little to no sense, but that could still change before the game is out.
WWE 2K24 Showcase Matches Could Still Feature This Superstar

Sometimes a WWE title run just doesn’t work. Maybe the wrestler wasn’t right for it. Maybe the wrestler was right but the writing was all wrong. Maybe the disastrous choice to make someone champion not only hurt the careers of others but also damaged the company as a whole.
We’re looking back at 15 WWE wrestlers who shouldn’t have been crowned world champions. Keep in mind, this list is broken down into specific title runs, so while it was copacetic to have Hulk Hogan wave the banner during the Hulkamania era, that doesn’t mean that it was always the best move to put him at the top of the food chain. Let’s have a look…

For nearly two decades the one reliable constant within the WWE women’s division has been Natalya. The daughter of legend Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, granddaughter of Stu Hart, and niece of Bret Hart has built a Hall of Fame-worthy career all her own. One that has brought multiple milestones, championship wins, and even recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records. Even after all these years, the Total Divas star’s fire for pro wrestling remains hotter than ever. She takes pride in being the respected veteran in the locker room who has helped everyone from Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey to Cora Jade and Tegan Nox.

The Iron Claw is hitting theaters and tells the tragic story of the Von Erich family, who dominated the wrestling world for two decades. We learn about the triumphs and the tragedy of one of the most significant families in professional wrestling. They are not the only interesting characters in the often time wacky world of tights and arm bars. A lot of wrestlers led exciting lives outside of the ring. Their stories are just ready for the big screen treatment. Wrestler biopics could be an interesting subgenre we didn’t know we needed.
Gorgeous George
The name Gorgeous George is known by hardcore wrestling fans, but many casual fans may have no idea how big of an impact he had on the wrestling industry and pop culture in general. He wrestled for 30 years, from the 30s into the 60s. George is perhaps known as one of the greatest heel performers of all time.

WWE legend Edge reflected on his legacy ahead of tonight’s SmackDown show in his hometown of Toronto when he squares off against Sheamus.
The 49-year-old Canadian wrestler, born Adam Copeland, recently chatted to Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about leaving a mark on the wrestling world.
During the interview, Edge revealed that Friday’s match will in fact be the last one on his current contract. But he isn’t entirely sure whether it’ll be the final match of his career.
Elsewhere in the chat, the wrestler spoke about previously getting advice from Canadian wrestling icon Bret Hart when he was younger, saying that he’d love to be associated with him when people think of his career.
After mentioning that it used to be harder for anyone abroad, including Canadians, to get into wrestling, Edge said of whether he ever thinks about his place in wrestling history and opening doors for others,...

Mike Halac, the former WWE wrestler known as “Mantaur” who during his 1990s heyday took on a minotaur persona by wearing a huge bull head as he entered the ring, died Monday in Florida. He was 55.
His death was confirmed by WWE (known as WWF during Halac’s era).
“WWE is saddened to learn that Mike Halac, better known to WWE fans as Mantaur, has passed away,” the company said in a statement. “Halac’s combination of size and charisma immediately captivated fans worldwide as he took to the ring in a giant bull head to highlight his half-man, half-minotaur persona.
“Halac spent time in both WWE and Ecw where he faced some of the biggest stars of his generation like Bam Bam Bigelow, Razor Ramon, and Bret Hart,” WWE continued. “WWE extends its condolences to Mike Halac’s family, friends and fans.”

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe churns on, one part of the saga has now ended with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Not only have the ragtag space outlaws gone through three of their own movies, but also three major guest appearances, a holiday special, and two non-canon Disney theme park attractions. We’ve spent a lot of time watching the adventures and growth of these heroes, their grief, and their laughter. The series has mostly focused on seven Guardians (and two variations of them) and their journeys to figure themselves out while saving countless lives.
And then there is Kraglin Obfonteri, who is basically the Wedge Antilles of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Once a forgettable background character, Kraglin’s role has turned him into a success story of his own, culminating in him being one of the...

"Who knows what any of us are capable of?" Another final official trailer is available for this indie horror thriller film titled Stalker, from filmmaker Steve Johnson. It's opening in a few theaters and to watch on VOD later this week, so we're featuring this as a reminder it's out to watch soon. The first trailer dropped last year in the summer, and we've been waiting for this to debut ever since. In this tense and atmospheric horror, Rose Hepburn, a young actress, returns to her empty hotel. Forced to use the old freight elevator, it jolts to a halt on the 12th floor, leaving her trapped with an unusual stranger. Left with no phone signal as a storm approaches, tensions escalate and suspicions rise when Rose discovers the identity of the mysterious man is Daniel Reed, a camera operator who is seemingly obsessed with her.

Wrestling legend Bret Hart may not have the major Hollywood motion capture experience of fellow professional wrestlers and franchise superstars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson or Dave Bautista (who keeps his WWE connection strong), but his mo-cap resume extends much farther back. The Hitman’s shot at mo-cap came in the mid-’90s for the video game WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game and he remembers the experience as fun but daunting.
On the most recent episode of the WWE Network series This Is Awesome, titled “Most Awesome Wrestling Games”–in which “WWE Superstars relive the nostalgia of battling their buddies back in the day and debate the classics”–Bret Hart reflected on the intensity of doing motion capture on the game, both good and bad.

Rose Hepburn, a young actor working in horror movies, returns to her empty hotel. Forced to use the old freight elevator, it jolts to a halt on the twelfth floor, leaving her trapped with an unusual stranger. Left with no mobile phone signal as a storm approaches, tensions escalate and suspicions rise when Rose discovers the identity of the mysterious man is Daniel Reed, a camera operator on her latest movie, who is seemingly obsessed with her. As the elevator hangs precariously high about to plunge down at any minute, some harsh truths and actions start unfolding.
Essentially a two-person character study, Stalker has plenty to say about the pursuit of fame and is a wonderful commentary on women in horror, how they are traditionally put in the position of the victim. Rose wants; to...

Cm Punk had a lot to get off his chest in the aftermath of Aew All Out.
Punk recaptured the Aew World Championship at the conclusion of All Elite Wrestling’s quarterly pay-per-view event on Sunday night. During a post-show press conference — one that straddles the line between performative and non-fiction — Punk was heated. After an emotional rant about Aew affairs, Punk was asked about the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Please be advised that in the interests of maintaining contemporaneous consistency I will be referring to WWE as WWF throughout this article. This clarification should prevent you from imagining giant men in spandex fighting pandas for money.
On August the 29th 1992 the WWF came to Wembley Stadium for its annual SummerSlam. It was the first time the organisation had strayed outside the States for an event of this scale, and the reason was purely financial: Vince McMahon and his backers realised that while enthusiasm for the sport was waning – or at least plateauing – in the US, fans in the UK were in the fevered grip of Wrestlemania, Hulkamania, and – perhaps most crucially of all – Gladly-Spend-Thirty-Pounds-on-a-Giant-Foam-Finger-amania. The WWF’s instincts proved correct: the first round of tickets for SummerSlam sold out in five minutes, and the event helped to shift over a million pounds in merchandising.

Wrestling is a big man’s game, and when you look at the documented history of WWE, names such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Razor Ramon, Andre The Giant, The Rock, Bret Hart, and The Undertaker have several things in common: They’re tall guys who would never be mistaken as cruiserweights. The term cruiserweight was made famous by World Championship Wrestling, which made the division hot by showcasing world-class wrestlers who weren’t just heavyweights that the wrestling world were used to. The most infamous to come out of that division are Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, X-Pac (Who was Synxx

Cody Rhodes made his return to WWE on Saturday night at WrestleMania 38, coming back to the promotion that he famously exited nearly six years ago.
In that time, Rhodes has wrestled all over the world and was integral to the founding of All Elite Wrestling (Aew), the rival wrestling promotion run by Tony Khan. Rhodes was a top star onscreen and an executive vice president offscreen in Aew, but he left the company in February 2022 after failing to come to terms on a new contract.
In an interview with Variety in the days leading up to WrestleMania, Rhodes said his dream is still to do what his father — the legendary Dusty Rhodes — never did. He won’t say it out loud for fear of jinxing it, but Rhodes has his eyes on the WWE Championship. Dusty fought for the title in 1977 at Madison Square Garden against Superstar Billy Graham for...
