Showtime for the last time. Pro wrestling fans said farewell to “The Icon” at All Elite Wrestling’s Revolution on March 3. More than 16,000 strong inside the historic Greensboro Coliseum and a worldwide audience witnessed Sting’s curtain call. The dynamic legend in paint called it a career after almost 40 years in a venue where he fought so many historic battles. Perhaps most famous is the 45-minute draw he had against Ric Flair in 1988 at the Clash of the Champions on TBS that jumpstarted an illustrious run. This time Sting, real name Steve Borden, stepped into the ring one final time teaming up with longtime partner Darby Allin. They successfully defended the Aew world tag team titles against EVP’s Nicholas and Matthew Jackson, The Young Bucks in their Succession era. Ringside saw many dignitaries from Sting’s past there for support including Flair, Lex Luger, Magnum Ta, Scotty Riggs, Nikita Koloff,...

Darryl Hall and John Oates were fresh-off-the-plane clueless. It was fall 1971 and they’d come to California seeking the same thing as everyone else who comes to California — for them, it just manifested as a record contract. All they had were their instruments, songs, and a contact at the publishing company Chappell Music. They didn’t even know you needed a car to get around Los Angeles.
“We were kind of stuck,” Oates tells Rolling Stone, remembering how they drifted from hotel to bar to greasy spoon to label lunches that went nowhere.

When Wilco are putting together the lineup for their biannual Solid Sound Festival, they have just one rule: If they love it, it’s in. “Everybody in the band keeps a running dream list of people that we would like to play with or to see,” says Jeff Tweedy, calling from the band’s Chicago recording space, the Loft. “This time, it just happened to work out that we got a lot of all-timers to anchor the whole thing.”

When Guy Clark died in 2016, Vince Gill turned to his friend’s old melody. He began playing the rhythmic talking-blues guitar line that the Texas singer-songwriter had written to on classic songs like “Let Him Roll” and “Randall Knife.” Gill knew the melody well: back in the early Eighties, he had played guitar on Clark’s studio recording of “Randall Knife,” one of his favorite Guy tunes. During that session, Gill, who heard in Clark’s tribute to his late father a number of uncanny similarities to his own dad,...

Ten years ago, Steve Earle took a break from recording original material to make Townes, a tribute to his longtime friend and colleague Townes Van Zandt. To Earle, Van Zandt was his Bob Dylan — or his “Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg,” alongside Guy Clark, whom Earle knew since the Seventies when he became his guitar player and, eventually, like family.
So for his 19th studio album, Earle decided to honor the late songwriter with Guy, a collection of Clark covers that also features appearances from Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Terry Allen,...

For a long time, WCW was the place to go for “real” pro wrestling. In its previous incarnation as Jim Crockett Promotions, under the Nwa banner, it was the alternative to Vince Jr’s cartoon wrestling. It was where men, manly men, like Harley Race, Arn Anderson and Magnum T.A. fought about real issues and legitimate grievances.
This was always WCW’s selling point, and even in the mid-nineties during the Monday Night War, it was the place to go for the best wrestling. Nothing on WWF television could compete with the Crusierweight division’s athleticism and innovation and the transformation of Sting was a unique, unrivalled experiment in long-form storytelling. As unwieldy as it did eventually get, there’s a reason the nWo were once the coolest thing in professional wrestling.
Unfortunately though, WCW had its fair share of problems like everyone else. Whether it was with violence,...

When most wrestling fans think of New Orleans these days, they think of WrestleMania 30, coming up on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
What many younger fans may not realize is that New Orleans was one of the hottest cities in the old Mid-South territory back in the early ’80s, with Ted Dibiase, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Junkyard Dog, King Kong Bundy, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Kamala, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams, and announcer Jim Ross being among the prominent names who left an indelible mark on professional wrestling.
With athletic, bruising matches orchestrated by no-nonsense promoter “Cowboy” Bill Watt, Mid-South garnered national attention for its evocative storytelling and Superdome Extravaganzas, featuring the Road Warriors, the Midnight Express, the Von Erichs, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, and Andre the Giant.

WWE asked for and got fan input to determine the content of “The 25 Greatest Rivalries” Blu-ray and DVD, and, unlike the weekly Twitter/WWE App votes on Raw which most of us net fans suspect are rigged, fan input clearly shows in the final cut. Granted there are classic feuds I personally wish had made the cut, but as a wrestling fan since I was 10, I’m overall very happy and legitimately surprised by not only the feuds that Do appear, but the order they’re in.
A couple years ago when the ‘E released their “50 Greatest Superstars Of All Time” DVD, a lot of us fans in the Iwc, (Internet Wrestling Community for the uninitiated), accused the doc of being blatantly skewed to stars who were either currently with the E, or had predominantly been mostly with the E, throwing in a few token guys who weren’t really WWE guys.

Whilst many will decry the WWE for eating up and spitting out it’s wrestling opposition, leaving little-to-no competition on television, it has – in recent years – taken to recognising the history of wrestling and the legacy the company, and those companies it now owns, on modern wrestling. Gone are the days of ignoring the “competition” and in has come a respect to where the sport has been and where it is going. Some would say this is a direct result of Tna’s influence (that wrestling company have always acknowledged its rivals and its history), others will say it is inevitable given Vince McMahon’s need to keep making money by releasing DVD after DVD each and every month. Whatever the reason, the WWE have – at least in my eyes – been on to a good thing by putting out DVD and Blu-rays that take a look back at the history of the company,...
