Event: WrestleMania 13 Date: March 23, 1997 Venue: Rosemont Horizon (Rosemont, Illinois) Attendance: 18,197

Brief introduction package on what we’re going to see this evening. Vince, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on the call which is a great announcing lineup. We get right into the first match.

Four-way Tag Team Elimination Match The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) defeated The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw), The Godwinns (Henry and Phineas) (with Hillbilly Jim), and Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon I’m not a big fan of tag team wrestling to begin with so I’m certainly not a fan of 4… Continue reading →

Definitive Roles

Published August 27, 2009 | By Chewie

There are some actors that can play many roles. There are others who are typecast and can never quite get outside of their comfort zone and play another character. There are still others that are forever linked to one particular character. That’s what this list is… the top 10 (in no particular order) “what character you think of first” list. For me, these are career defining roles for these actors. This is the first 10 that came to mind so I’m certainly not saying that there aren’t other career defining roles out there. Let the debate begin!

Top 10 WrestleMania Matches

Published April 13, 2009 | By Chewie

WrestleMania 25 is just recently in the books. It wasn’t great but there were a couple of REALLY good matches. WrestleMania weekend for me always means going back and reliving some of those great matches from past events. It’s rare that this list is modified, but thanks to the Dead Man and Mr. WrestleMania this year, it was. Honorable mentions and The Top Ten are listed in order of occurrence (oldest to newest). Keep in mind that this is MY list. I’m sure there are those out there that will put some others in their top ten – I’m an… Continue reading →

“Best Pictures” That Just Aren’t – The 1990′s

Published February 11, 2009 | By Chewie

The most prestigious award that any movie can receive is the “Academy Award For Best Motion Picture” — The Oscar. Once a movie has this distinction it goes down in history as the “best” movie of that year. The red carpet at the Oscars is a huge event every year where all the stars turn out. The Academy goes through some sort of review process and determines which picture is truly “the best”. Ol Chewie’s here to tell you that there are many times where they’re just DEAD WRONG.

Chewie’s Review Of “Transformers”

Published December 17, 2008 | By Chewie

OK… I will take this step by step and keep this mostly spoiler free (in case you haven’t seen this flick yet). Please keep in mind that I saw this in a DLP theater so it was essentially like watching a high definition version of the movie.

First off… This is NOT a kids movie. Yeah yeah yeah, I know that it’s based on the kids toys from the early 80’s but this is a serious action movie (or as serious as one can get basing a story on robots from another planet that transform into other objects).
