The Big Show (Wait, … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2006

And we are back to finish what we started! When last we convened, I counted down the first half of my Top 20 movies I watched for the first time ever in 2024. That is a list 123 motion pictures long, and it didn’t count movies that came out in 2024… they are getting their own list later this month. But out of 123 flicks, … Continue reading Top 20 First Time Watches Of 2024 – #10-1
It was my goal to watch 200 movies for the first time in 2024, and it is fair to say that I hit that target resoundingly. As of this writing, I am at 231. That is, 108 new releases from 2024 itself, and 123 other first time watches. Today, we are going to look at the best of the latter of those figures: the movies … Continue reading Top 20 First Time Watches Of 2024 – #20-11
2005: The Sit-Down So 2004 came and went; Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit had their respective runs as WWE and World Heavyweight champions, and the company was moving on. WWE’s hot new toys at the time were the young men that had been groomed under Triple-H and Ric Flair in Evolution. In 2004, Randy Orton had a shot as world champion, and he left Flair, … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2005
2004: The Voldemort Ah, it’s the year WWE will always try its hardest not to mention, and we all know why; no reason to go into that. 2004 saw WWE fully into the Ruthless Aggression era, but it was also something of a bridge year. We hadn’t quite started the dominant runs of John Cena, Rando Orton, and Batista, but the Attitude Era stars were … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2004
Brian from Sonic Cinema joins The Order this episode to discuss the highly divisive MCU outing, The Marvels. Will he and Stew be on the same page? Or will there be disagreements a’plenty? For more from Brian, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 123: The Marvels
Before we reveal my top movies of the year, let’s take a look at some of 2024’s worst offerings. Whereas I am going to do a Top 30 of my Best Of The Year, I’m only doing a Top–well, “top”, such as it is–Ten of my worst flicks of 2024. But that’s for a pretty good reason: when you look at stuff mass released commercially, … Continue reading The “Top” Ten Worst Movies Of 2024
2003: The New Blood 2001 may have marked the end of the Monday Night Wars and, essentially, the attitude era, but by-and-large, early 2002 still felt like a lot of the same product that started in the late 90’s. 2003 would bring us the first Rumble that truly felt like a post-Attitude world. And with so many of the Attitude era stars having all won … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2003
2002: The Degenerate In the wake of (arguably, but again… my article) the best Rumble ever, WWF put on the 2002 Rumble… The Participants 1. Rikishi (back to being a face, but nowhere near as over as he previously was)2. Goldust (apparently this was Goldust’s return after a lengthy absence. Could the Booker T team-up be far off?)3. Big Bossman4. Bradshaw5. Lance Storm6. Al Snow7. … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2002
2001: The Perfection The 1999 and 2000 Royal Rumbles really left a bad taste in my mouth, and at this point, WWF was all-but the official victor of the Monday Night Wars. With little to challenge them to try harder, how would this one turn out? The Participants 1. Jeff Hardy2. Bull Buchanan3. Matt Hardy4. Farooq5. Drew Carey (Excuse me… WWE HALL OF FAMER, Drew … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2001
2000: The Overbookening Not even a full month after the peril of Y2k happened, WWF staged its annual Royal Rumble match. Man, Y2k. I had forgotten all about that. Anyway, our computer systems did not all spontaneously expire, and life went on. And we got one of the weirdest Royal Rumbles ever… Participants 1. D. Lo Brown2. Grand Master Sexay3. Mosh (Jesus Christ… STILL with … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2000
1999: The Grapefruits WWF had finally found a winning strategy in 1999, and it was Stone Cold fighting management. Austin had won the title at the previous WrestleMania and went on to reinvigorate the company while a newly heel Vince McMahon attempted to thwart him at every turn and finally did get the belt off of him. Austin was on a mission to get it … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 1999
1998: The Attitude 1998, and WWF still hadn’t gotten a ratings win over WCW in well over a calendar year. You hear “84 weeks” a lot, but when you put it in this context, it seems crazy that they couldn’t pull at least one week out, especially with how great the product had long been by this point. If only there was a guy they … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 1998
