I recently came across this 2002 Playbill interview with songwriter Jim Steinman, who passed away earlier this year. The conversation was mostly about his then-upcoming Broadway flop, Dance of the Vampires, which oddly included the Steinway-penned Bonnie Tyler hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

The second rule of vampiric leadership is keeping asses in seats, the first being dont kill vampires, so choosing these four might seem a grave clerical error Continue reading →

Edge and Seth Rollinss SummerSlam 2021 bout is being billed as seven years in the making, dating back to a moment in which Rollins threatened to curb stomp Edges neck, compromised by injury and surgical repair. More recently, Edges shot at the Universal Championship was botched by Rollins, who intervened on behalf of Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank.
