Pro wrestling icon Terry Gene Bollea, better known by Hulk Hogan, passed away on Thursday. After the shocking news was broken, many of Hogan's contemporaries in the wrestling business are speaking out to pay tribute to the late WWE Hall of Famer. Among them is Ric Flair, a fellow wrestling icon who knew Hogan as a close friend (and sometimes on-screen rival) for decades.

Including images of the two together, Flair's post on X stated in part, "Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father! Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me. He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn’t Ask For Him To Be."

I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend @HulkHogan! Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business.

Many fans (this writer included), whether they are casual moviegoers or genuine film buffs, seem to be in agreement that Dave Bautista is the best WWE star turned actor. Look no further than his brief role in 2017's "Blade Runner 2049" (a movie that was simply too good to be a box office hit) to see just how much emotional gravitas he can bring to a character, even one with very minimal screen time. 

However, before the former WWE champion began tearing it up on the silver screen with heavyweight directors like Denis Villeneuve and James Gunn, he was getting his start on The CW's "Smallville." Bautista made his acting debut in the show's sixth season, playing Aldar, a powerful criminal entity who is accidentally released from the Phantom Zone. While the character only appears in one episode, he leaves an incredibly bloody impression. 

Immediately upon his arrival on Earth,...

WWE is back with the Royal Rumble season, as the 2025 edition of the show is just days away. The event is set to take place on February 1st at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana, Indianapolis and is expected to be one of the biggest editions in history of the Rumble event.

As the years have gone by, a key record that counts to any superstar’s success in the Royal Rumble match is the total no of eliminations. In regards to the record of eliminations in a single 30-man Rumble match, Brock Lesnar is still unbeaten. The Beast set a new record of 13 eliminations in 2020.

Much like Lesnar, there have been some other names that have secured similar records for Royal Rumble eliminations. But at the same time, many superstars have had embarrassing feats, too, despite participating in the 30-man over-the-top-rope melee multiple times.

Which three WWE superstars have...

First responders and government agencies mobilizing against the devastation of Hurricane Helene have battled collapsed infrastructure and communications outages to reach survivors of the deadly storm. More than a week since Helene ravaged the southeastern United States, a completely man-made phenomenon is hurting rescue and recovery efforts: lies and misinformation.

As government officials in affected states give bipartisan praise to the Biden administration’s response to the storm, Donald Trump and his allies wasted little time in politicizing the response to Helene. The former president has spread baseless claims that...

WWE fans have a lot to celebrate these days.

ESPN unveiled a new leadership team Monday as part of a restructuring of the network’s content division.

The new structure, which is designed to “improve collaboration, centralize functions, create better alignment and redeploy resources to areas of growth,” has taken input from nearly 75 company leaders at all levels, as well as organizational experts, since May.

Mike McQuade, a 37-year veteran of the network, was promoted to executive vice president of sports production, where he will be tasked with overseeing the network’s sports-specific production and studio shows. McQuade will relocate to ESPN HQ in Bristol, Connecticut.

David Roberts will transition to overseeing the sports, news and entertainment team, which will include non-sport specific studio shows like “SportsCenter,” “First Take,” “Get Up,” “The Pat McAfee Show,” “Ath” and “Pti.”

Undeniably, Jeopardy! can be entertaining especially with the introduction of celebrities in the mix. However, fans call out the worst celebrities to be on Celebrity Jeopardy! Furthermore, some proposed twists pop up as well during the discussion.

Celebrity Jeopardy! At Its Finest

While the original Jeopardy! is full of entertainment, its spinoff series, Celebrity Jeopardy! sports its own fun. Furthermore, it pulls in celebrity contestants to compete for a chance to win money for the charity of their choice. Undeniably, it has been a riot to watch some of their attempts over the first two seasons. Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings have hosted many familiar faces competing for the win. Likewise, SNL has paved the way by showing hilarious sketches of famous faces pretending to play the legendary game. But now, fans are calling out the worst celebrities for the show.

With there being an overlap between wrestling fans and horror fans, it only made sense for WWE Studios to produce See No Evil. And much like The Rock’s Walking Tall and John Cena’s The Marine, this 2006 slasher was designed to jumpstart a popular wrestler’s crossover career; superstar Glenn “Kane” Jacobs stepped out of the ring and into a run-down hotel packed with easy prey. Director Gregory Dark and writer Dan Madigan delivered what the WWE had hoped to be the beginning of “a villain franchise in the vein of Jason, Freddy and Pinhead.” In hindsight, See No Evil and its unpunctual sequel failed to live up to expectations. Regardless of Jacob Goodnight’s inability to reach the heights of horror’s greatest icons, his films are not without their simple slasher pleasures.

See No Evil (previously titled Goodnight and Eye Scream Man) was a last gasp for a dying trend.

If you are an avid fan of WWE then you must be aware of the various gimmicks the many wrestlers have had over the years. Wrestlers often turn to popular characters from fantasy to film to seek inspiration for their acts, so that fans can find their gimmicks appealing and battle the high competition.

This could not have been more true for one WWE Hall of Famer, Glenn Jacobs, whose character Kane was inspired by Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise. Although Jacobs carried the name to fame, it was Jim Cornette who was the mastermind behind the character.

Transitioning from wrestling to acting is a difficult feat, and only a small pool of performers have found success in both industries. Some wrestlers, like Jesse Ventura and John Cena, have managed to establish themselves as successful actors outside of the WWE umbrella. However, not all wrestlers have had the same level of luck, with individuals like Mike Mizanin, Glenn Jacobs, Hulk Hogan, Paul Levesque, and Steve Austin failing to find substantial success in the acting industry.

The transition from wrestler to actor is becoming an increasing phenomenon in Hollywood, with some WWE stars faring better than others. A big part of a wrestler's act is their ability to perform on the mic and sell their character to the audience. However, even those who excel at this aren't guaranteed a successful acting career. Several wrestlers have managed to become huge household names in the acting world, while others quietly nailed less prolific roles.

Peyton Manning wants to go to the mat in his ongoing bid to create a sports-content empire.

The football legend, who gained notice last year when he and his brother Eli launched an accompanying “ManningCast” for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football,” is backing a similar concept for ESPN’s UFC pay-per-view streams. Fans who opt to watch Saturday night’s welterweight bout between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards via ESPN+ will also have access to a second stream featuring Rob Gronkowski and his brothers Chris, Dan, Glenn and Gordie Jr. along with father Gordon, who will host what is being called “ UFC 278 with The Gronks. The show will mark Rob Gronkowski’s first appearance on ESPN in a host role. Guests will include UFC legend Chuck Liddell, and up-and-coming UFC stars Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann.

Glenn Jacobs, who spent more than two decades in WWE’s ring as the sadistic, disfigured wrestler Kane, has taken punishing hits from wrestling fans after he enthusiastically endorsed the Supreme Court ruling Friday overturning Roe v. Wade.

Jacobs, a Republican who is currently the mayor of Knox County, Tenn., rejoiced in a tweet about the court’s historic decision eliminating federal protections for abortion rights.

“Roe v. Wade has been overturned!” Jacobs wrote in the post. “This clears the way for states like Tn to pass stronger protections for the unborn, and is an answer to a prayer for so many. #RightToLife #Victory.”

Jacobs’ praise about the demise of Roe v. Wade elicited dismay and sharp rebukes on social media.

“Respectfully @WWE, please never have Kane return to TV again. It’s a real shame you chose to be a monster inside and outside the ring,” tweeted Superzomgbbq, a U.

The legends of pro wrestling are banding together to say goodbye to WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff. Known to wrestling fans worldwide as "Mr. Wonderful," Paul Orndorff sadly passed away on Monday following a recent dementia diagnosis at the age of 71. Many fans have been left in mourning in the wake of the news, and those who knew Ondorff and had even performed with him in the ring are feeling especially heartbroken.

One man who was quick to pay tribute online is Hulk Hogan. Previously, Hogan and Paul Orndorff had been foes in the 1980s. They even wrestled in the main event of the first WrestleMania with Hogan teaming with Mr. T to take on Orndorff and Roddy Piper. Acknowledging the news of Orndorff's passing, Hogan posted a heartfelt message on Twitter.

"Just got slammed with the Paul Orndorff news," Hulk Hogan tweeted. "Rip my brother, love you and...

There's no dispute, Glenn "Kane" Jacobs, one of the most popular and recognizable from World Wrestling Entertainment's "Attitude Era," has just been announced as the newest addition to the company's Hall of Fame. On this week's episode of The Bump, Kane's storyline brother The Undertaker appeared to inform Kane personally that he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2021.

"It is truly my honor to announce that you, Kane, will be the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame, the class of 2021," Taker told his old pal. "Well deserved, much earned, and couldn't be more proud of you, brother."

When Kane asked if the Dead Man was being serious,...

Jimmy Fallon managed to surprise WWE fans with a special appearance from The Undertaker on The Tonight Show. During an Audience Suggestion Box segment on the program this week, Fallon read a note from a fan professing their love for both Halloween and WWE, asking the The Tonight Show host to somehow combine the two. "I can't, but I know who can, and his name... The Undertaker," Fallon says, presenting a clip of the famous wrestler in his WWE attire.

In the segment, The Undertaker steps out from the darkness as his WWE theme music plays in the background. He takes notice of a nearby scarecrow wearing a jack-o-lantern mask, and for whatever reason, the Deadman doesn't like it at all. He grabs the lifeless prop and proceeds to give it the Tombstone piledriver --- his trademark finishing maneuver --- before crossing its arms and going for the pin. The...

The story of Kane and the Undertaker will be told in Brothers of Destruction, a new documentary from WWE Studios set to premiere at Austin Film Festival. Behind the scenes, the two wrestlers are known to their peers as Glenn Jacobs and Mark Calaway, by all accounts a couple of nice fellows without too much in common with their WWE personas. To WWE fans, however, the two are best recognized for portraying the fictional brothers over the course of many years, becoming one of sports entertainment's most popular duos of all time.

Per WWE, Brothers of Destruction aims to break new ground by showing fans "a candid discussion between The Undertaker and Kane about their storied careers for the first time. Intertwined since Kane was introduced as the Undertaker's long-lost brother in 1997, The Big Red Machine and The Deadman have been both bitter enemies and fierce allies, but their relationship...

WWE is set to honor the Undertaker’s 30th anniversary with the company with a documentary lineup throughout the month of November they are calling “30 Days of the Deadman.”

Beginning Oct. 25, WWE Network will air a new documentary about the Undertaker — whose real name is Mark Calaway — every Sunday for five weeks. It will be capped off by the Undertaker’s return to “Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions” on Nov. 22. A first look at “30 Days of the Deadman” will air on WWE Network this Sunday, Oct. 18. With the exception of “Broken Skull Sessions,” all of the programming is produced by WWE Network Documentaries.

Included in the lineup is “Brothers of Destruction” on Nov. 15, which features the Undertaker and Kane (Glenn Jacobs) sitting down to discuss how their careers have intersected ever since Kane was introduced as the Undertaker’s brother in 1997. The film is set to have...

The Broken Skull Sessions began with Steve Austin talking to The Undertaker. The second episode saw Austin talk with Bill Goldberg, and now, on the third episode, we see The Texas Rattlesnake sit down and talk wrestling, politics and life with “The Big Red Machine” Kane.

I was excited when this episode was announced in the same way I was when I heard about Austin’s episode with The Undertaker. Kane is a character I watched from his debut until, well… right now when he makes the odd appearance on WWE television, and his long and winding career has been something I’ve wanted to hear about for a long while. He was, after all, in a similar way to ‘Taker, very protected by WWE as far as hearing real-life stuff from him during his run. I’ve seen Glenn Jacobs speak more about his career than I have The Undertaker,...

Photo Shoot is a show in which a WWE performer, past or present, sits down in a chair in a dark room with a camera pointed at them, and are shown a variety of photographs for half-an-hour from various times in their career, and they make comments on them. We’ve had a whole bunch of episodes since this WWE Original began, from Shane McMahon, Rusev and Ric Flair to Goldust, Jim Cornette and now, The Big Red Machine and Mayor of Knoxville, Tn, Kane.

The concept of the show is simple and effective and while it isn’t especially a deep-dive on the career photography of said performers’ career, it’s still fun to see a series of pictures pop up and hear random stories about each one. With this episode it’s even more interesting because it’s Kane, and Kane, for most of his career was never...

WWE Untold is a WWE Network original series that I’ve been thoroughly enjoying since it began. Discussing topics such as “The Failed Relaunch of WCW”, “The Second Coming of Ecw”, “How Eddie Guerrero Became a SmackDown Legend” and more, it delves into these subjects in a fun snapshot manner and talks, using clips, backstage footage and talking-head interviews, about them.

The new episode is entitled That’s Gotta Be Kane!. Fans will know this famous line of commentary that was uttered by Vince McMahon when he was the lead play-by-play for WWE back in 1997, and that’s what this is all about. The episode talks about the debut of one of the most successful, popular and fascinating gimmicks in pro-wrestling history, Kane, and the things that surrounded it. It looks at the feud that was happening at that time between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels and the Hell in...

WrestleMania Fever took over New York and New Jersey this weekend, bringing big crowds of WWE fans to both the Big Apple and the Garden State.

While the celebrations kicked off a few days ago, the real deal was Sunday night, when the Super Bowl of professional wrestling returned to the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The open-air arena is normally home to the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets.

The packed roster for WrestleMania 35 included Superstars in high profile match-ups, like a winner-take-all main event between Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch, Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston, Aj Styles vs. Randy Orton, The Miz vs. Shane McMahon, and women’s tag teams Sasha Banks and Bayley vs. Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs. Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka vs. The IIconics.

If the Trump presidency’s festering pile of scandals, corruption and human rights abuses has even a glimmer of a silver lining, it’s that his surprise victory has inspired a wealth of people outside of the political mainstream to run for office.

The phenomenon may be even more prevalent on the left, most...

For most of his professional life, Glenn Jacobs was not known by his real name. He was Kane, the WWE superstar who, as the disfigured younger brother of The Undertaker, won pretty much every championship the organization had to offer. Though the 51-year-old never officially left the ring, his given name has taken precedence in recent years. Jacobs and his wife Crystal own an insurance agency and real estate company in Knoxville, Tennessee, and last April he announced his candidacy for Knox County mayor. About 13 months and tens of thousands of knocked-doors later,...

"I'm just really happy. It's been a lot of work. I just thank my family and all the volunteers that made this happen. I thank the people of Knox County," Jacobs told Wbir 10 News on Thursday night of his victory.

Jacobs campaigned on a platform of low taxes, prioritizing education,...

WWE star Kane, real name Glenn Jacobs, can add to his long list of wins: he’s the next mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.

Jacobs, running as a Republican, defeated Democrat Linda Haney on Thursday to become the county’s 29th mayor, earning 31,739 votes to Haney’s 16,611. He secured his party’s nomination in May.

In Knox County, “mayor” is the title used by the county administrator. It is an entirely distinct office from the mayor of the city of Knoxville, the Knox County seat. Knoxville’s current mayor is Democrat Madeline Rogero.

WWE congratulated Jacobs for his win on Twitter:

Sometimes you have to give the Santas and Frostys a rest and celebrate the holiday folks who don't get the spotlight.

It’s holiday time and that means celebrating all the big guns of the Christmas season. The likes of Jesus, Santa, Frosty, Rudolph, Krampus, the Grinch, Ebenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and – depending on how much time you spend at Hot Topic – Jack Skellington. But there are so many Christmas-themed characters who don’t get the same red carpet treatment.

Let’s take a second to give a little extra love to the yuletide heroes and villains who hang out on the second or third tier of Christmas cheer.

As the Undertaker announces his retirement, we look back at his Wrestlemania record...

This article is from Den Of Geek Us.

WrestleMania XXX was an eventful show. It calmed the fears of those afraid that it would crash the WWE Network and cause major damage to the company's latest venture. Cesaro broke away from his tag team and broke out by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy. Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, and the Rock hung out in the ring and had a blast. Mr. T and Roddy Piper buried the hatchet. Daniel Bryan went through an endless supply of punishment before being defeating Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista.

That was a big moment and a major story, but the thing people will be talking about for a long time is the end of Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar. For the first time ever, Undertaker lost at...

Before Roar Uthaug (director of the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot) introduced moviegoers to a towering force of nature in The Wave, he took viewers on a deadly snowboarding vacation in the 2006 slasher film Cold Prey (aka Fritt Vilt), and a remake of the Norwegian film is now in development at WWE Studios.

Deadline reports that WWE Studios has picked up rights to remake Cold Prey, with Casey La Scala (The Remaining) penning the screenplay.

No casting details are known at this time, but it wouldn’t be surprising if we saw a wrestler cross over to star in the remake à la Glenn “Kane” Jacobs in WWE’s See No Evil movies.

The original Cold Prey followed a group of snowboarders who sought refuge at an abandoned hotel, and instead found someone sinister waiting for them… The horror film spawned a sequel in 2008 and a prequel in 2010.

Anyone who knows me knows that if a movie stars a professional wrestler, I’m immediately happy as a film fan. Yeah, I’m probably easily impressed, but still, whenever I see my favorite WWE (or otherwise) superstars make the leap to the world of feature films, it makes my inner child giddy. As a kid, it was the reason I first rented They Live, it was the reason I begged my mom mercilessly to see No Holds Barred in theaters, and when I learned in late 1986 that Jesse “The Body” Ventura was going to be co-starring in Predator, the next summer could not get here fast enough.

Even as an adult, I’m always a big fan of seeing wrestlers transition to movies, and that has a lot to do with my soft spot for Gregory Dark’s See No Evil. It features Glenn Jacobs (also known as “Kane...

While the pro wrestler Kane starred in two forgettable "See No Evil" movies in 2006 and 2014, neither had anything to do with Mia Farrow's 1971 thriller of the same name.
