There are few professional wrestlers who have left the ring and crossed into the mainstream: Hulk Hogan, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista are probably the most well-known today. But a new HBO documentary that looks at the career and life of André the Giant proves that his personality was even bigger than he was. Not only was he one of the greatest wrestlers the world has ever seen, he also had one of the biggest hearts.
André Roussimoff is probably best known by some people for his part in The Princess Bride, but that role only highlighted a fragment of the massive man's talent.
One of his most famous wrestling matches, Wrestlemania III with Hulk Hogan, will certainly be a major point of the documentary. That even signified the moment when wrestling transitioned from being about the Giant to being about Hulkamania.

“Stranger Things 2” returns just in time for Halloween, both in the real world and in the eerie town of Hawkins, Indiana conceived in the nostalgic minds of The Duffer Brothers. The action picks up three days before Halloween 1984, which means that the year will soon be coming to a close. For those who may not have been alive or perhaps have a shaky memory of the time, 1984 was a big year for memorable events and in pop culture.
The first season reveled in bringing the time period alive in all of its totally ‘80s glory, from Dungeons & Dragons gaming sessions and Eggo waffles to homages to “E.T.,” “The Shining,” and “Rambo.” Hell, even star Winona Ryder’s presence is a timely tribute since she made her early career in such iconic ‘80s films as “Lucas,” “Beetlejuice,” and “Heathers.”

A bright, neon-lit corner of the ‘80s was occupied by a popular TV show centered on an all-female wrestling league. They were the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling -- or, simply, Glow. Founded in 1986, Glow ran for four seasons on TV, bringing colorful characters -- Corporal Kelly, Dallas and Tina Ferrari among them -- to living rooms across the country. Now, almost 30 years after going off the air, they are back as the inspiration behind one...

It’s been relatively quiet on the Hulk Hogan front since his victory in the Gawker defamation suit. I have a strong feeling that Hogan is just kicking back and waiting for his multi-million dollar settlement check to come in so he can ride off into the sunset. But in the interest of Hulkamania and keeping Hulk Hogan in the news for as long as possible, I wanted to share a revelation I had. When I saw Bill Belichick on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon I kept noticing that his voice was oddly familiar. I kept trying to piece it
