This Week in WWE: Sheamus Shines & Kane Recovers To Wrestle After 26 Chair Shots
12 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Sheamus continues to shine as a worker, Tyson Kidd and Antonio Cesaro steal the show on Superstars and Kane is still able to wrestle after receiving twenty six chair shots prior to a match-up. Here is a look at the best and some of the worse stuff from the past week in the WWE.
Wrestler of the week: Sheamus
The Irishman coming to the aid of John Cena at the start of Raw brought some much needed energy to a dire segment involving John Laurinaitis, Eve and the Big Show and helped to wash away the taste of yet another horrendous verbal performance from Cena. Later in the night, when partnering with the poster boy, the world heavyweight champion had some great powerhouse exchanges with Tensai, some brilliantly heroic brawling on the outside with the lumberjacks and solid back and forths with both Ziggler and Swagger who he also had »

2 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The multi-time WWE Champion turned actor celebrates his 40th birthday today.
The Rock, who defeated John Cena in the main event at this year’s Wrestlemania is currently away from the ring filming ‘Pain & Gain’, Michael Bay’s new action movie which also stars Mark Wahlberg and Tna superstar Kurt Angle who appears in a short fight scene. The story of the film is that a pair of body builders get caught up in an extortion ring and kidnapping scheme that goes wrong. The film is also based on a true story.
The Rock is a third generation superstar following the footsteps of his grandfather ‘High Chief’ Peter Maivia and his father Rocky Johnson. He shot to fame after he debuted in the WWE as Rocky Maivia, managing to break from the pack catapulting himself to the top of the ladder, thus becoming The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment. »

30 April 2012 2:49 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Universal Pictures executives may have had a tough last weekend with "The Five-Year Engagement" underperforming at the box office, but Monday was all about celebrating.
Per a press release, "Universal Film Manufacturing Company was officially incorporated in New York on April 30, 1912." That means this is the venerable film company's 100th anniversary. Party time, y'all!
To honor the centennial, Universal sent out a press release of 100 facts about the studio, 17 of which were kinda awesome. Check out some great Universal Pictures trivia below (via press release); for the full list of facts, click here.
1. The only physical damage made during the filming of "National Lampoon’s Animal House" was when John Belushi made a hole in the wall with a guitar. The actual Sigma Nu fraternity house (which subbed for the fictitious Delta House) never repaired it, and instead framed the hole in honor of the film.

WWE Raw Review 16/4/12 – Lord Tensai vs John Cena in the UK
17 April 2012 10:15 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Big News: Cm Punk defended his title against Mark Henry in a No Dq, No Count-outs match and learnt that at Extreme Rules he will face off against Chris Jericho in a Chicago Street Fight. Meanwhile Lord Tensai defeated John Cena in an Extreme Rules match thanks to the distractions from David Otunga and an impressive Brock Lesnar video package reminded everyone of the further trials awaiting Cena in two weeks time.
In a Nutshell: The WWE seem torn between remaining PG and trying to infiltrate attitude thus making for an uneven product.
Live from the O2 Arena, London, England
1.) Cm Punk defeated Mark Henry via pinfall to defend his WWE title in a No Dq, No Countouts match
This was Henry’s brute force colliding with Punk’s athletic cunning and it made for a gripping contest assisted by the great atmosphere provided by the crowd. Henry kicked »

Eric Larnick: WWE Raw: The Three Stooges Ruin Brock's Return
10 April 2012 11:02 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Tonight's show is guest-hosted by Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos, portraying Moe, Larry and Curly, in promotion for their new movie "The Three Stooges." Back in 2009, Raw tried to one-up "Saturday Night Live" by having a new guest host every week -- it resulted in the single worst year of WWE programming ever. Lame comedy skits with disinterested celebrities hijacked the show each week. The only consistent wrestling we got for a year, was the always-predictable John Cena, perpetual "underdog" who never actually loses.
Last week, WWE delivered what I called the "best post-WrestleMania Raw ever." The challenge always comes with the week after that. This show is like December 26 and Christmas is never farther away. With the return of Ufc sensation Brock Lesnar, perhaps WWE will turn the tide of years past and deliver an exciting show. The only thing standing in the way is the Three Stooges. »

The Chainsaw Sally Show recently aired the final episode of their eagerly anticipated web series' Season 2. The stars of the production were gracious enough to sit down with Dread Central and talk about the adventures of creating this indie production.
Director and co-star of The Chainsaw Sally Show Season 2, JimmyO Burril, joined us with the three beautiful stars of the show, April Burril, Debbie Rochon and Nicolette LeFaye.
JimmyO (who directs and also stars as uber-villain Angel Eyes) talked about just how it felt to wrap season 2 of the show without knowing if we would ever see Sally again. "Our crew is tiny," JimmyO said. "It's eight people, including us (himself and April). And we took Sally up to the conclusion we wanted. It’s a satisfying ending, but it leaves it open for more. If we go back to Sally, I think I want to take her to a city. »

Antonio Sabato Jr. Fights With Fiancee On 'Wife Swap'
31 January 2012 10:32 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It was a successful first season for "Celebrity Wife Swap" (Tue., 9 p.m. Est on ABC), which wrapped its inaugural run by swapping the wives of Antonio Sabato Jr. and Mick Foley. Sabato's fiancee Cheryl immediately brought some structure into the Foley household, as well as accountability for the family. But she also emphasized family time together, which was something everyone responded well to.
Cheryl is an admitted Ocd clean freak. Her daily to-do list for Mick's wife Colette is 65 items long. When she was allowed to implement her own rules, Cheryl immediately loosened the reins a bit for the family. Both families had fun and felt they'd learned from the experience, but at the couples' reunion the situation got heated pretty quickly.
When Cheryl called Colette out for having a messy house, Colette was a bit offended. At the same time Cheryl said it was Antonio's fault their daughter was so overworked and stressed. »

WWE Royal Rumble 2012: Full Order of Eliminations
30 January 2012 1:38 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Last night’s annual WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view from St. Louis, Missouri was a memorable show with Sheamus being the most unexpected victor in years. Sheamus last eliminated Chris Jericho to win the Rumble and he will now go on to face the Champion of his choice at WWE WrestleMania 28.
Elsewhere, there were many surprise entrants and a few of which we predicted. Entering at number 8 was Alberto Del Rio’s personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez, with his car and similar attire. Though unlike how we predicted it, there was no Del Rio on hand earlier in the show to pitch to John Laurinaitis to give Rodriguez a slot in the Rumble representing Del Rio (so i.e. if Rodriguez won, Del Rio would headline WrestleMania in the title match) and instead it was just a surprise entry. Rodriguez got a huge pop from the ground, actually dwarfing that of »
