Norma Shearer films Note: This article is being revised and expanded. Please check back later. Turner Classic Movies' Norma Shearer month comes to a close this evening, Nov. 24, '15, with the presentation of the last six films of Shearer's two-decade-plus career. Two of these are remarkably good; one is schizophrenic, a confused mix of high comedy and low drama; while the other three aren't the greatest. Yet all six are worth a look even if only because of Norma Shearer herself – though, really, they all have more to offer than just their top star. Directed by W.S. Van Dyke, the no-expense-spared Marie Antoinette (1938) – $2.9 million, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made up to that time – stars the Canadian-born Queen of MGM as the Austrian-born Queen of France. This was Shearer's first film in two years (following Romeo and Juliet) and her first release following husband Irving G.

Copyright: WWE Omg! The Top 50 Incidents In WWE History
The use of blood in pro wrestling has been a part of the business for many years. While it’s hard to track down when it first started being used in matches or who was the first to do it, the fact is that it’s been a tool to tell stories within a match for several decades now.
In today’s WWE, you won’t see matches with blood. A guy may get a cut above an eye because of a punch or going into some object, but there’s no more intentional blood. The PG era restarted again in 2008, so there won’t be anything on here that came after that. From the mid 90s until 2008 there were plenty of bloody moments, though.
A popular term that announcers would use to talk about blood in match is “crimson mask.

The Royal Rumble match is arguably the most equally entertaining and intriguing contest of the WWE calendar. Statistically it proved to be the biggest event outside of Mania in 2013, drawing 579,000 pay per view buys. That’s almost 300k buys more than Summerslam 2013 garnered. Fair enough this year we had The Rock boosting the event profile, but year on year the Royal Rumble has become the most important WWE event outside of Wrestlemania.
It is down to the compelling concept of the Rumble match itself. 30 men entering, one every few minutes, attempting to dispatch his opponents over the top rope to secure a title shot at Wrestlemania. It is a huge selling point – will we see a new star made? Who will win the Rumble? Unlike other WWE matches, this really means something.
The concept was first pioneered by Pat Paterson and has made several stars throughout the years. Winning a...
