When someone says the words “horror” and “wrestling” in one sentence, my ears tend to prick up like a werewolf in a meat-wagon. I, of course, couldn’t resist Wrestlemassacre, based purely on the premise and… that title. I’ve been burned before, but hey, we all suffer for the things we love.

WWE Hall of Famer “Luscious” Johnny Valiant died Wednesday in Pittsburgh after being hit by a pickup truck. He was 71.
Valiant was crossing the road in his hometown when he was struck by the truck, Det. Brian Kohlhepp of the Ross Police Department told TheWrap Thursday. Kohlhepp noted the incident occurred just before 5:30 a.m. and it was therefore dark at the time Valiant was hit by the vehicle.
The wrestler was taken to Allegheny General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Kohlhepp said the investigation is in its early stages, “but there is no indication at this point that this is anything other than a terrible accident.”
“WWE extends its condolences to Valiant’s family, friends and fans,” the company said on Wednesday night.
Members of the wrestling world also shared their condolences, including Luke Gallows, who tweeted, “R.I.P Luscious Johnny Valiant. Always kind to me and very helpful early in my career.”

The History of WWE: 50 Years of Sports Entertainment begins with Vince McMahon getting out of his car at WWE headquarters in Connecticut and greeting employees as he makes his way to his office on the top floor of what was once known as TitanTowers.
The documentary portion of this release begins at the beginning, with information about Jess McMahon and Vince McMahon Sr, and how they began what we now know as WWE. Jess McMahon was a boxing promoter, his son Vince, turned it into a traditional regional professional wrestling promotion, and his son, the current head of WWE, Vince McMahon Jr, turned it into the multimedia conglomerate that we know today.
The talking heads are extremely relevant and well picked, it is nice to see the big names from wrestling’s history on here, talking about the history of WWE as a company and the wrestling business as a whole.
