Farewell to Dusty Rhodes

Last night, wrestling promotion the WWE began its annual Money in the Bank pay per view on a somber note.

Cesaro: The Next Big Thing in Wrestling?

Modern pro-wrestling is all about the glitz and glamour, the big entrances and over-the-top theatrics. By contrast, WWE superstar Cesaro is definitely more substance over style. But when that substance means he can pick up 500 pound wrestlers like infants, or deliver a devastating European upper cut without even looking, that's style enough.

Finding Relief at a Wrestling Show

It speaks to the ubiquity and specificity of World Wrestling Entertainment that on the final day of South by Southwest, when damn near everybody around Austin preoccupied themselves with scoring the final free drinks of a week gone haywire, it could roll into the Frank Erwin Center with little in the way of awareness for whatever it might be interrupting.
