Sting has emerged victorious in his last match and will now retire as an Aew Tag Team champion. Sting and Darby Allin beat the Young Bucks in the main event of Sunday’s Revolution after the iconic boxer got Matt Jackson to tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock. Sting, real name Steve Borden, is famously known for the monochromatic paint on his face, which many dubbed as the ‘Crow gimmick’. However, Borden shared that he never modeled himself after Brandon Lee’s The Crow.

Borden modeled his Sting character after other influential figures like Batman. His other influences also included the Rock band Kiss and the 1975 musical comedy horror film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: Let Me Own This Blu-Ray Before I’m Buried in My Official Kiss-Branded Coffin
Few musical acts in American history have done more with less than Kiss. Despite boasting some of the simplest and most uninspired (if occasionally very catchy) songs of the 1970s, the shock rock act built a loyal following and merchandising empire around the novel idea of wearing makeup while singing. Their onstage theatrics and commitment to rock and rolling all night and partying every day — tons of people can do one or the other, but...

In the latest season of Queer Eye, which dropped on Netflix yesterday, Wednesday, January 24, one particularly emotional episode featured Tim Keel, a Kiss superfan who was primary caregiver to his brother, Tommy “Doody” Keel. Tim appeared in Season 8’s second episode, titled “Kiss the Sky,” which featured the Fab Five tasked with transforming his life. It was one of Tim’s daughters, Melody, who nominated her father for the show, saying he needs to learn there is more to him than just being a Kiss superfan and Doody’s carer. In the episode, it’s revealed that Doody was left paralyzed after a car accident. “They didn’t think he was gonna live,” Tim told the Fab Five, per Entertainment Weekly. “He was in a coma for three months.” Tim, whose house is decorated top to bottom in Kiss memorabilia, has been caring for his older brother since 1986. ...

You’d think an artist as influential and groundbreaking as Prince would have been showered in Grammys, but that’s far from the truth. Throughout his career, Prince was only awarded seven times. Indeed, while the Grammys certainly weren’t dismissive of him, you would probably expect him to have won more than that, or at least to have won in a major category. Throughout his career, the eclectic musician only got three general field nominations: Album of the Year for “Purple Rain” and “Sign O’ the Times,” both of which he infamously lost, and Song of the Year for penning Sinéad O’Connor’s smash hit “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Still, there’s a lot to unpack from Prince’s wild Grammy history, including wins that you might not expect and losses that leave us wondering what exactly voters were on.

Ozzy Osbourne, the Godfather of Metal, may be most famous for his legendary contributions to the music genre, but the Prince of Darkness has also acted in a handful of movies. He's far from the first rock star to do so, but his choice of roles prove his sense of humor and knack for camp. Folks may recognize him from his cameos in comedies like "Austin Powers in Goldmember" and "Little Nicky," or voice cameos in "Gnomeo & Juliet" and "Trolls 2: World Tour," but earlier on he appeared in the lesser-known 1986 heavy metal horror film "Trick or Treat."
Not to be confused with the 2007 Halloween-themed anthology "Trick 'r Treat," "Trick or Treat" is a tongue-in-cheek relic of a time when conservative commentators were denouncing metal music as a serious threat to the public order. The story follows high school metalhead Eddie Weinbauer, played by Marc Price, and his quest...
