Welcome to this week’s review of Aew: Dynamite, which was broadcast from the Vbc Probst Arena in Huntsville, Al. We’ve got Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone on commentary, so let’s get into the review!

Match #1: Will Ospreay def. Brian Cage The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Kenny Omega was backstage and had been assaulted! While Will was looking at the big screen, Brian Cage blindsided Ospreay. Will Ospreay wiped out Cage with a hurracanrana from the turnbuckles. Cage dropped Ospreay to the floor with a running shoulder block. Ospreay was looking for a flipping neck breaker off the barricade, but Cage caught him! Cage drove Will down with a suplex on the arena floor! Archer stomped Will as the referee was distracted by Brian Cage. Callis came in with cheap shots to Will, swarming Will. Brian Cage bashed Will into the turnbuckles. Will came back with a jaw breaker,...

WWE is full of unique match types, but none as successful or universally adored as the Royal Rumble match. The concept is simple: 30 men or women enter the match one after the other at one-minute intervals. Each opponent can only be eliminated by being thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. Once 29 Superstars hit the floor, the last person standing is declared the victor.

Again, a simple concept on paper, but WWE treats the match as the ultimate test of endurance. Not only must one competitor outlast 29 others, but use their strength to toss out competitors as their stamina continues to replenish during the match. WWE tends to celebrate a Rumble entrant based on the number of people that they end up eliminating during a Rumble match. Even if they fail to win it all, WWE ensures that they etch out into their history books the...

In his autobiography "Born To Run," Bruce Springsteen wrote how when he was first struggling as a musician, songwriting was the skill he chose to concentrate on refining. His writing was "the most distinctive thing [he] had going," he felt back during the early '70s — as do his legions of fans to this day.

When I listen to Springsteen, I don't just feel a story being told or a mood being conjured, I feel the characters, as if years of inner life are conveyed in a few minutes. Springsteen's 1982 song "Atlantic City" is one of the most cinematic I've ever heard, with a simple but evocative story (a desperate young man in love turning to crime). The verses of "Atlantic City" escalate the hopelessness, but one coupled with a refrain of possibility in the chorus.

"Well, I got a job...

Bruce Springsteen praises Jeremy Allen White's performance in Deliver Me From Nowhere. Deliver Me From Nowhere is an upcoming biopic film featuring The Bear star as The Boss himself. The film will chronicle the making of Springsteen's album Nebraska, an album that he recorded in 1982. In addition to White in the lead role, Deliver Me From Nowhere features a leading cast including Gaby Hoffman, Jeremy Strong, David Krumholtz, Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham, and Marc Maron. It is directed by Scott Cooper, who also penned the script based on the book by Warren Zanes.

In an interview with Sirius Xm, Springsteen discusses his opinion on White's performance and the cast of Deliver Me From Nowhere. In a very positive review of the lead actor, Springsteen says that "he sings very well." He also praises the rest of the cast, calling them "tremendous." Check out the full quote from Springsteen below:

"He sings very well.

Jeremy Allen White plays Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me from Nowhere, and the actor has received the stamp of approval from the Boss himself. “He sings very well,” Springsteen told Jim Rotolo in an interview on Sirius Xm. “It’s a tremendous cast of people. They cast the film beautifully, so it’s very exciting.“

Springsteen continued, “Jeremy is such a terrific actor that you just fall right into it. He’s got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognize and he’s just done a great job, so I’ve had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there.”

Springsteen’s manager, Jon Landau, was equally enthusiastic about White playing the lead role. “Oh my god, he’s just perfect. The casting is great,” Landau said last October. “[Director] Scott [Cooper] said to me at the beginning, he said, ‘We get the right cast,...

The Princess of the Black Throne is finally returning to the ring. It’s been eight months since Julia Hart last graced the squared circle on All Elite Wrestling (Aew), having dropped her TBS championship to Willow Nightingale back in April before disappearing from TV to undergo shoulder surgery.

Hart makes her much-anticipated return to in-ring action against Jamie Hayter at “Aew Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen,” which will be simulcast on TBS and Max on Wednesday, Jan. 1.

“That adrenaline rush is what I miss most from being gone for eight months. I could literally feel it through my legs I was so excited. I was trying not to shake,” said Hart, who heralded her return to Aew TV with a trilogy of introspective vignettes featuring warring versions of Hart’s past and present personas.

“The first time I got hurt, back in January while I was still champion, I...

In the early 1980s, Bruce Springsteen thought he was at the height of his career. 1975's Born to Run had catapulted him and the E Street Band to national success, and each release after that only added to Springsteen's reputation and fame. 1980's The River was his biggest album yet, with a raw sound that was an attempt to replicate the energy of a live E Street Band concert. It was on the backs of those years of success that saw Springsteen, already having earned his nickname of "The Boss," begin work on his next album.

At his home in Colts Neck, New Jersey, the singer started work on a more introspective album, focusing on the divide between his new experiences with fame and the blue-collar life he had grown up with. He wound up recording a demo tape in his house, laying down fifteen songs that he then took...

Match #1: TBS Championship Match – Mercedes Moné def. Anna Jay The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Mercedes nailed Anna with the Three Amigos suplex sequence. Anna dodged a frog splash and followed up with a flipping neck breaker. Mercedes locked Anna in a straitjacket choke. Mercedes crunched Anna with a meteora off the middle turnbuckle for a near fall. Anna blasted Mercedes with a blockbuster neck breaker. Anna walloped Mercedes with three kicks in the corner. Anna flattened Mercedes with a face plant and covered the champion, but Mercedes reached over to the ropes to break the hold. Anna was looking for the Queen Slayer and hooked it on!

The latest scandal in New Jersey politics is a blip on the radar compared to the corruption of former US Senator Bob Menendez, but it’s a minor scandal nevertheless: Congressman Josh Gottheimer has been forced to admit he faked a social media post of an all-Bruce Springsteen Spotify Wrapped of his top songs.

Gottheimer posted the alleged screenshot on Friday (December 6th), appearing to show that his top five tracks were “Thunder Road,” “Because the Night,” “Glory Days,” “Badlands,” and “The Rising.”

“No surprises here,” the Democratic Representative wrote. “Fun fact: My first ever concert was at Meadowlands to see The Boss!”

Considering the website for his gubernatorial campaign says Gottheimer grew up “catching a Springsteen show every chance he could get,” it all seemed believable enough. Plus, he came out to “Glory Days” while announcing his campaign for governor.

Here’s a little Star Wars news for you on this fine Monday afternoon. While appearing on The Kristian Harloff Show, scooper Jeff Sneider revealed that Jeremy Allen White will join the Star Wars franchise in The Mandalorian & Grogu. He even said he knows which role The Bear actor will be playing, and it’s probably not what you’re expecting.

Sneider has heard it will be a voice role, with White helping to bring Rotta the Hutt to life. That’s right. The character is the son of Jabba the Hutt and was first seen in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie when he was just a wee lad. Deadline has since confirmed White’s involvement in The Mandalorian & Grogu, adding that it will be a “notably sized role” and not a mere cameo. As this will be a voice role, it would leave White open...

George Costanza is a mystery. How can one man be so selfish, neurotic, petty, and just all-around pathetic? He doesn't really have any positive qualities. He's a bad friend, a worse boyfriend, and a deplorable employee. The biggest mystery surrounding George may be that anyone is his friend in the first place.

For our eternal amusement, we're glad people were foolish enough to allow George into their lives for nine glorious seasons. If you're making a Greatest Sitcom Characters list, he's almost certainly going to rank the highest out of anyone from the "Seinfeld" ensemble. Only one man would plow through a living room full of children and one elderly woman with a walker upon whiffing a kitchen fire. Yes, he's the only man on the planet who'd cause a multi-family crisis by attempting to reel a marble rye, via fishing rod,...

Welcome to this review of Aew’s Full Gear, which looks to be yet another huge pay-per-view for All Elite Wrestling – with plenty of title matches, including both women’s And men’s titles on the line. The Zero Hour portion of the show kicked off proceedings with a few pre-ppv matches that saw Anna Jay defeat Deonna Purrazzo, Buddy Matthews pick up the win in a 4-way match, and the godawful match that saw the “Costco Guys” Big Boom A.J. defeat Qt Marshall.

Match #1: Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer, & Brian Cage def. Will Ospreay, Mark Davis, Powerhouse Hobbs, & Ricochet The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Both teams brawled as The Don Callis Family made their entrance. Don Callis was nowhere to be found. Davis caught Takeshita, planted him, and then squashed him with a sit-out senton. Ricochet took flight over the top rope, wiping out Takeshita on the arena floor. Hobbs had his knee sandwiched between the steel ring steps and the edge of the ring by Lance Archer. Aew Medical Staff checked on Hobbs. Powerhouse Hobbs limped his way to the back. Ricochet reversed a choke slam attempt by Archer with a hurracanrana.

Needless to say, Hideo Kojima couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer brilliance of the anime. Like most, he raved about the series and applauded the voice actress behind Acrobatic Silky.

Not only that, Kojima acknowledged the character as surpassing one of the iconic villains in his series. No wonder Yukinobu Tatsu is getting his just praise for his brilliant masterpiece.

Acrobatic Silky surpassed an iconic villain from Hideo Kojima’s series

Despite her troubled past, Acrobatic Silky redefined motherhood and sacrifice.

Dandadans proved why its considered the hit anime of the season with one of the most gut-wrenching backstories, which earned it the best recommendation by none other than the acclaimed video game creator, Hideo Kojima. While Hideo Kojima often shared his love for anime with multiple reviews that showcased his interesting insights into the medium, this time, Kojima compared Dandadan with his own work, which makes it much more special.

Kojima is considered a storytelling genius for the depth of the themes explored in the Death Stranding games and the well-constructed characters of his magnum opus franchise, Metal Gear Solid, to which he put his utmost passion, so a comparison with his work is not to be taken lightly. Following the release of Dandadans episode 7, Hideo Kojima praised the voice actress of Acrobatic Silky, who shares a connection to a beloved mother figure from Metal Gear Solid.

Hot Ones, a series where celebrities get interviewed as they try increasingly spicy wings, has claimed many victims, including Tom Holland, Gordon Ramsay, and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but who did the best on Hot Ones is up for debate. Not often discussed are the celebrity guests who handled the challenge with ease and grace. While a perfect performance is hard to get, most of these celebrities still had fewer issues than most.

Hot Ones has been going strong for years, but recently, there have been some excellent episodes. Some of the more recent episodes also featured guests who had little to no problems with the spiciness. Few can say they did not cry when doing the Hot Ones challenge, but some of these celebrities can proudly claim it with the video evidence to back it up.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max is getting into the pay-per-view business.

The streaming service will enter the space as part of a wide-ranging rights deal with the wrestling promotion Aew, which the companies announced Wednesday afternoon.

The new deal will see live episodes of Aew Dynamite continue to run on TBS on Wednesday nights and episodes of Aew Collision continue to run on TNT on Saturday nights, but the shows will also simulcast live on the Max streaming service beginning in January, joining live programming from CNN and TNT Sports on the platform.

Beginning later in 2025, Max will begin to offer Aew pay-per-view events at a “discounted price,” with specific details to be determined as the company builds out the tech necessary to offer PPVs.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aew founder, CEO, general manager and head of creative Tony Khan says that Wednesday was the “biggest day in Aew’s history,...

Under the new deal, Aew shows “Dynamite” and “Collision” will remain on TBS and TNT respectively. But for the first time since its launch in 2019, Aew programming will stream live on Max simultaneously for U.S. subscribers and will be available to stream on-demand starting in January 2025.

The doctor is in. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D, that is! Our favorite pro wrestling dentist returned to All Elite Wrestling this past summer. In August, she battled Mercedes Mone at All In from Wembley Stadium in London. Since then, fans haven’t seen the former Aew Women’s Champ on TV until a teaser recently aired. Baker will return during the October 2 episode of Dynamite, which just so happens to be the fifth anniversary of the show and takes place in her hometown of Pittsburgh. It has been a rocky road for Baker to the ring. She overcame nine months of medical obstacles including two herniated disks and a torn labrum. If that weren’t enough, the star also suffered a scary transient ischemic attack, which can bring stroke-like symptoms, that pushed her comeback date even more. The first female talent signed to Aew worked through it all,...

Just days after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered an instantly classic set in Asbury Park, New Jersey for the Sea.Hear.Now Festival, the performance has been released as a live album, available on CD and streaming via the live music platform nugs.net.

The set, which take place on September 15th, was a homecoming of sorts for Springsteen and the E Street Band, who first got their start gigging around the Asbury Park area. Among its 30-song setlist were hits like “Dancing in the Dark” and “Born to Run,” plus bust-outs, like the tour premieres of “Blinded by the Light,” “Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?”, “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” and more.

In essence, WrestleMania is the season finale for that season/year in WWE and, as such, topping the billing with a Main Event that is the culmination of your year's biggest story is the ultimate honor in professional wrestling. Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Shawn Michaels: the list of WrestleMania headliners reads like a who's who of every name that's ever mattered in the history of this game.

That said, it takes two (or sometimes three) to make the thing go right. A good main event will make even the most disappointing WrestleMania better, while ending the night on a low note could taint an otherwise excellent Showcase of the Immortals. Among the epic WrestleMania Main Events that live in fans' memories, however, some stand above the rest.

The festival premiered “Road Diary,” a new documentary by longtime collaborator Thom Zimny. The film follows Springsteen and the E Street Band on their latest world tour.

At a post-screening question and answer session, the 74-year-old musician, known to fans as “The Boss,” reflected on his journey in the music industry. “If I went tomorrow, it’s Ok,” Springsteen told the packed house, prompting loud applause. “What a ride it’s been!” he added. Despite contemplating his legacy, Springsteen said he has no plans to retire and wants to keep performing with E Street Band for as long as possible.

Zo Kravtiz's Blink Twice movie has a great soundtrack filled with songs that fit the psychological thriller tone and island setting, and some major artists are featured on it.

Very rarely does the anime world clash with the real one, but in one instance, fans saw Naruto come alive in front of their own eyes. No, it wasn’t a life-savior whose philosophy matches the character, but a WWE wrestler whose voice is scarily similar to Naruto.

Musical biopics have picked up in activity as of late. Recently, the Bob Marley movie One Love encapsulated a notable story from the Raggae icon’s life. This year has seen the release of Back to Black, which told the story of Amy Winehouse. And this Christmas will see the premiere of A Complete Unknown, which brings James Mangold back to the music world with Timothée Chalamet occupying the shoes of Bob Dylan. Not to mention, in the future, we’re getting a Bruce Springsteen film with Jeremy Allen White as The Boss, and Sam Mendes is bringing The Beatles’ story to theaters across four feature films.

Deadline is now reporting that a Boy George biopic is now in development over at TriStar. It’s still in the early stages, but the movie is set to be written by scribe J.C. Lee, who co-wrote the film adaptation of his own play Luce.

Chalamet shines as Dylan in A Complete Unknown's trailer praised for versatility. White faces big challenge as Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere. Deliver Me From Nowhere may offer more raw, lasting portrayal than A Complete Unknown.

Timothe Chalamet's upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown sounds promising, but I really can't wait for Deliver Me From Nowhere. Chalamet's singing performance as the iconic Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown's trailer has already been widely praised by experts, which is not very surprising considering how versatile and commanding Chalamet has proven to be in just about every movie he has starred in. There is no question that I am very excited to see Chalamet play Dylan and hopefully continue his impressive box office/critical acclaim streak, but Jeremy Allen White playing Bruce Springsteen sounds way more compelling at face value.

Bruce Springsteen is now a billionaire.

Forbes reported Springsteen’s billionaire status today, conservatively estimating his net worth to be around $1.1 billion.

The 74-year-old New Jersey musician and working class icon has experienced relatively consistent financial success since his 1975 breakout album Born to Run, and according to his memoir, finally entered a place of financial stability in the early ’80s. Since then, Springsteen’s net worth has only grown in stature, concluding with a very profitable last few years. In 2021, right after he finished the second run of Springsteen on Broadway, Springsteen sold his entire music catalog to Sony for a whopping $500 million.

Even last year, Springsteen’s fortune grew in significant measures. Via data from Pollstar, Forbes lists Springsteen’s ticket sales from his 2023 world tour to be around 1.6 million, resulting in $380 million in revenue. There’s even more to come, with a new...

Mercedes Varnado portrayed a recurring character Koska Reeves in the Disney+ Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. Varnado, who went by the name Sasha Banks in WWE, signed with Aew in March 2024. Interestingly, Varnado’s transition to her new ring name Mercedes Moné was caused by WWE’s alleged interference with her Star Wars role.

Varnado’s Koska Reeves was a part of the Nite Owls and fought alongside Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan Kryze. She first appeared in Chapter 11: The Heiress, the third episode in the second season of the series.

Mercedes Varnado Accuses WWE Of Attempting To Sabotage Her The Mandalorian Role

Pro wrestler Mercedes Varnado has made some revelations about WWE that might put the Triple H-led company in a bad light.

Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, has revealed that her role in the hit Star Wars series “The Mandalorian” was nearly jeopardized due to pushback from her former employer. In recent interviews, Moné shared insights into the challenges she faced while trying to balance her wrestling career with her budding acting opportunities.

Moné, who appeared in five episodes of “The Mandalorian” as Koska Reeves, a Mandalorian warrior, told Hot 97 that securing time for filming was a significant struggle. “I love WWE, but they tried so hard to not make me do The Mandalorian,” she said. “[They] put me on house shows when I was supposed to film. It was pulling teeth just to get on that show, just to be a part of that show.”

The wrestler-turned-actor further elaborated on the situation in an interview with Wfan, stating that WWE’s restrictive attitude was “definitely a big reason...

Mercedes Moné, aka Sasha Banks, is one of the most successful professional wrestlers in the world. As is often the case, Hollywood comes calling when one reaches a certain level of success. That's precisely what happened when Moné was still wrestling under the name Sasha Banks for the WWE when Lucasfilm cast her on the live-action "Star Wars" series "The Mandalorian." Given that this is one of the biggest, most beloved franchises on the planet, it was a big deal. But the WWE didn't make the gig easy on her. The organization actively tried to get in the way, it seems.
