Paul Wight has pointed to Stone Cold Steve Austin as one of the major reasons traditional wrestling heels became harder to maintain, arguing that Austin’s popularity fundamentally changed the way audiences viewed villainous characters. While appearing on Planet Tyrus, Wight discussed how the wrestling business has evolved and reflected on the changing role of heels and babyfaces. He specifically brought up Austin’s legendary run during the Attitude Era, explaining that the WWE Hall of Famer was technically positioned as a heel at one point, but his actions made him hugely popular with fans. Wight said: “I blame Stone Cold for killing heels in wrestling. Because he was—because he did—he was supposed to be the bad guy, but kicking your boss’s ass, he touched the heart and minds of every person.” Wight's comments came while discussing how modern professional wrestling is increasingly influenced by social media, short-form videos and crowd reactions. He argued that wrestlers today can become more focused on creating moments designed for social media rather than allowing a complete story to unfold inside the ring. Earlier in the discussion, Wight criticized the modern emphasis on quick clips and audience engagement, saying that wrestling can sometimes become about getting a reaction rather than telling a complete story. He explained that the traditional dynamic was much simpler: a heel was supposed to be booed, while a babyface was supposed to be cheered. However, Austin's immense popularity blurred that distinction. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion also acknowledged the circumstances surrounding Austin's rise. He noted that the rise of the New World Order had already changed the traditional babyface-versus-heel formula, meaning Austin's character was part of a broader evolution in professional wrestling.

Chelsea Green closed out SummerSlam weekend as a champion, outlasting a chaotic multi-woman ladder match to climb up and pull down the interim women's title — a win that capped a WWE run stretching back to her 2014 debut and came after years of near-misses, injuries and being repeatedly passed over for bigger opportunities. The match saw Green battle through a field that included Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill before the finish came down to who could brave the ladder itself, with Green beating the rest of the field to the top. Chelsea Green sat down with Nikki and Brie on "The Nikki & Brie Show" and opened up about a night she says played out nothing like she expected. Green admitted she assumed nerves would take over once the moment finally arrived. "I thought I would be nervous when this moment came," she said, "I thought I would be so nervous." Instead, she said she felt unusually calm walking to the ring: "I felt very at peace. I was like, whatever happens, happens." She described losing herself in the entrance itself, saying the walk to the ring felt less like a wrestling match and more like a performance. "I do feel like I kind of blacked out," Green said, "It was like it felt like my concert." She said she spent the early moments soaking it all in — talking with fellow competitor Tiffany Stratton and waving to her parents at ringside. That calm didn't last. Green said the emotion built steadily as the match wore on, because she knew what was coming. By the time she was dangling from the ladder as Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill took the match's final bump, she said the feeling shifted entirely. "I felt like electric," she said. "I felt just like the whole crowd started like rumbling ... this is our moment." Green raced to the top of the ladder at what she called "record speed," saying she hauled herself up out of pure urgency. Part superstition, part disbelief, she said she didn't want to give anyone a chance to change her fortune. "If I don't get up there and climb that ladder and grab that title down, they could change the finish," she said. "This is all these thoughts going on. I'm like, no, not today." She said the significance of the moment hit her before she'd even unhooked the title, describing years of sacrifice flashing through her mind at the top of the ladder. Green pointed to more than a decade in the business — roughly "12, 13 years" — during which she said she missed close friends' weddings and the births of their children, missed her own father's wedding, broke bones, and underwent heart surgery. "So much has led me to like scurrying up that ladder," she said. Green also revealed that WWE Superstar Bayley reached out afterward, amazed by how fast she'd climbed. "Bayley texted me the other day and said, 'Girl, I've never seen someone climb a ladder so fast,'" Green recalled. Looking back, Green said the reality of the moment surpassed even her most hopeful daydreams about it. "It was even better than I had dreamt of," she said, adding that for years she'd quietly accepted the title shot might never come. "It was so far-fetched," she said. "I hope this happens. I wish it would happen, but like it probably won't — and I've come to terms with that, too." She said she could hear everything happening around her in the moment — including her mother's voice from the crowd. "I heard it all," Green said, "and I was actually upside down and a referee was ... saying sweet nothings to me as I was upside down." She added that she still doesn't know which referee it was, but praised the encouragement referees give wrestlers mid-match, calling it a meaningful and often overlooked part of the business. Even hours later and running on no sleep, Green said she was determined not to let the feeling slip away. "I'm still on cloud nine. I'm riding a high," she said. "I'm trying to make the most out of every single second."

BookMyShow interest counts have become a reliable gauge for measuring ground-level hype in India. A high interest count often translates into massive advance bookings, and the latest data suggests that Yash's upcoming film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, is currently on a record-breaking path. Ever since the trailer was released, the film has witnessed a significant spike in its interested count, which has now crossed the 800,000 mark. With approximately 15 days left until its theatrical release on August 26, 2026, it is expected to challenge the all-time records very soon. The buzz surrounding Toxic is particularly high because it marks Yash’s return to the big screen after the global success of KGF Chapter 2. Historically, Yash has shown an incredible ability to drive digital engagement; KGF Chapter 2 currently holds the third spot on the all-time list with 2.1 million interests. Given the current pace, Toxic is expected to comfortably enter the elite club of films with over 1 million interests before it hits the screens. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) To put these numbers into context, let us look at the current leaderboard of films that have managed to cross the 1 million interest mark on the platform. These films represent some of the biggest cinematic events in Indian history, with South Indian films largely dominating the top spots. 1. Vikram: 2.3M 2. Valimai: 2.2M 3. KGF Chapter 2: 2.1M 4. Pushpa 2: The Rule: 2M 5. Salaar: 1.8M 6. RRR: 1.7M 7. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion: 1.5M 8. Leo: 1.4M 9. Kalki 2898 AD: 1.2M 10. War 2: 1.1M Looking at this list, you can see that the competition is fierce. Kamal Haasan's Vikram and Ajith Kumar's Valimai remain the top two, but sequels like Pushpa 2 have also shown massive pre-release momentum. For Toxic to enter this top 10 list, it needs to surpass the 1.1 million mark currently held by War 2. Considering it has already secured over 800,000 interests and is seeing a daily surge following the trailer's positive reception, it is highly likely that the film will clear this gap within the next week.

Akshay Kumar is reuniting with director Neeraj Pandey for the upcoming RD Burman biopic. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the actor has signed on for an extended cameo in the film, which features Farhan Akhtar in the lead role. This collaboration marks another project for the actor and director duo who have previously worked together on several acclaimed films. In a move that feels quite poetic, Akshay Kumar will be portraying the legendary Superstar Rajesh Khanna on the big screen. This casting is particularly special because Rajesh Khanna was the father-in-law of Akshay, and the makers felt he was the perfect choice to bring that era back to life. The dynamic between Rajesh Khanna and RD Burman was iconic in Indian cinema, and the production team is keen on recreating that chemistry for the modern audience. Given the family connection Akshay shares with Twinkle Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, he was considered the most obvious and fitting choice for the part. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is being produced under the banner of Excel Entertainment and marks another significant collaboration for Neeraj Pandey. Sources indicate that Akshay is extremely excited about playing this role, as he has always been a big fan of his late father-in-law. The actor has reportedly allotted ten days to shoot his portions, and the project is expected to officially hit the floors in October 2026. This adds another high-profile project to Akshay already busy slate and reunites him with the director who helped him deliver some of his most acclaimed performances. Apart from the lead and this special cameo, the makers are currently in the process of casting several other actors to play key figures from that golden era of the film industry. The RD Burman biopic is being designed as a sprawling tribute to the musician's life and his relationships with the superstars of his time. With Farhan Akhtar playing the lead and Akshay Kumar stepping into the shoes of Rajesh Khanna, the project is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the coming years. As the production gets ready to start later this year, more updates regarding the supporting cast are expected to follow.

Mumbai, August 10 - The Indian box office witnessed another fascinating week as Hollywood continued to dominate the conversation, led by the historic run of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The Tom Holland-led Marvel blockbuster not only maintained its extraordinary momentum in its second weekend but also created history by becoming the highest-grossing non-Indian film ever in the country, surpassing Avatar: The Way of Water. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the same time, Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut DC: The Bloody Valentine delivered a surprisingly strong start, giving the weekend another talking point despite arriving with a much smaller footprint. Brand New Day was already rewriting the record books after its phenomenal opening week, and the second weekend only strengthened its position. The film collected around 96+ crore gross over its second weekend, taking its India gross to nearly 497 crore and comfortably surpassing Avatar: The Way of Water, which had finished with around 477.50 crore. The achievement makes Spider-Man: Brand New Day the first Hollywood film to breach the 500 crore gross mark in India. What makes Spider-Man's run even more impressive is the sheer consistency after its record-breaking opening. The film opened with around 72.50 crore gross on Thursday and went on to cross 300 crore net within just four days. It remained exceptionally strong in the second weekend, scripting history for Hollywood. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the Marvel movie dominated the box office, DC emerged as the surprise performer of the week. The Arun Matheswaran-directed Tamil action thriller, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, opened at 5+ crore gross on Friday before jumping to 8+ crore on Saturday and 11 crore on Sunday. Its three-day India gross therefore stood at 24+ crore, representing a strong weekend for a film arriving without the scale or nationwide penetration of the major Hollywood blockbuster. The contrast between the two films makes the week's box-office story particularly interesting. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is operating at a completely different commercial level, breaking the biggest Hollywood records in the country and crossing 500 crore gross at an unprecedented pace. DC, meanwhile, has shown that a regional film with a distinct identity can still punch above its weight when audience interest translates into strong weekend growth.

Bengaluru, August 10 - Kannada superstar Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is gearing up for its much-awaited theatrical release, with the Geetu Mohandas directorial arriving on the big screen after multiple delays. The film is one of the biggest Indian releases and carries huge expectations, particularly with Yash returning to cinemas after the blockbuster KGF franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As per the latest reports, Toxic has a reported theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 11 minutes (191 minutes). The film has also reportedly received an A certificate, making it an adult-rated action entertainer, which was expected. While the runtime and certification are yet to be officially confirmed by the makers, the reported 191-minute duration makes Toxic another major Indian film to cross the three-hour mark. Interestingly, movies exceeding three hours are slowly becoming a norm for big-star theatrical releases. Filmmakers are increasingly opting for longer runtimes to accommodate larger stories, elaborate action sequences and multiple characters, with audiences also showing a greater willingness to sit through lengthy films when the scale and content justify it. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Toxic features Yash in the lead alongside Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth in pivotal roles. The film promises a dark and stylised action-drama set against a gangster backdrop, with Geetu Mohandas bringing her distinct visual style to the project. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on August 26, 2026, in multiple Indian languages. With its reported A rating, three-hour-plus runtime and Yash headlining the film, Toxic is shaping up to be one of the more ambitious big-screen releases of the year.

AJ Styles has spent more than two decades competing at the highest levels of professional wrestling, working across WWE, TNA, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Along the way, the former WWE Champion has developed a clear philosophy about what actually separates a great match from an ordinary one — and it has nothing to do with move counts. Speaking on The AJ Styles Show, Styles broke down his approach to match construction, explaining why he believes performers can get too caught up in packing their bouts with impressive sequences instead of asking a more fundamental question first. For Styles, the starting point of any match isn't "what can we do" — it's "what are we trying to say." "Let's not think about how many moves we can squeeze into this match," he said. Styles said the key is to keep one question at the center of the entire process, from the opening bell to the finish. "What's the story we're telling?" he said. "If we start doing that from beginning to end, the product's gonna elevate." Beyond structure, Styles emphasized that the best wrestling connects emotionally. It's not enough to execute a move correctly; the performer has to communicate what their character is feeling in that moment. "At the highest level, being able to communicate and make people feel what you're feeling is what it's all about," Styles said. That belief has taken on new significance as Styles steps into a backstage producing role within WWE, most recently working NXT matches and passing his experience on to the next generation of talent. Styles' comments double as advice for younger wrestlers trying to stand out early in their careers. In his view, performers can become so focused on cramming in impressive sequences that they lose sight of the bigger picture: connecting with the crowd. A wrestler can land every move cleanly, but if the audience doesn't understand the characters, the stakes, or the reason behind the action, something essential is still missing. Having performed at the top level across multiple promotions worldwide, Styles has seen how different wrestling environments approach the craft. Now, as he transitions into a behind-the-scenes role, that same philosophy is shaping how he mentors the wrestlers coming up behind him — not by teaching them how to hit a move, but by teaching them why it matters. For AJ Styles, greatness in the ring was never about doing more. It was always about telling a better story.

Drew McIntyre's WWE comeback could have looked very different. After being released by WWE on June 12, 2014, McIntyre spent roughly three years rebuilding himself outside the company. He wrestled around the world under the name Drew Galloway and gradually developed into a far more established performer before WWE came calling again. When that opportunity finally arrived, however, McIntyre did not want to simply walk back into Raw or SmackDown. Speaking about his return during his conversation with Stone Cold Steve Austin, McIntyre explained that Triple H and William Regal had been following his career during his time away from WWE. “He'd been watching what I was doing, was kinda proud of what I'd achieved as a wrestler but, more importantly, how I'd grown as a man and where I was at,” McIntyre recalled. That phone call from Triple H was particularly meaningful because McIntyre knew he had earned another opportunity with WWE rather than simply being handed one. “And, you know, we both decided it was time to come back home,” McIntyre said. McIntyre Had His Mind Made Up. Once Triple H explained that the plan was for him to return through NXT, McIntyre did not need much convincing. In fact, the former WWE Superstar said he was effectively sold on the idea within the first few minutes. “I was coming back. I was sold within the first five minutes,” McIntyre said. But there was an important reason why NXT appealed to him. McIntyre believed the NXT audience consisted of the hardcore wrestling fans who had followed his career outside WWE. These were fans who knew what he had accomplished as Drew Galloway on the independent scene and could therefore understand how much he had changed since his first WWE run. McIntyre revealed that he was very clear with Triple H about where he wanted to begin. “I won't go to ‘Raw.’ I won't go to ‘SmackDown.’ I wanna go to NXT.” He continued: “That's the audience that know what I'm all about. They're the ones that are the hardcore fans. They're watching independent wrestling. They know who Drew Galloway is, Drew McIntyre is these days.” For McIntyre, returning through NXT was not about taking an easier route back to WWE. It was about proving that he deserved another opportunity. “I can be a leader there. That's where I wanna start out. I wanna prove myself there.” McIntyre's comments are particularly interesting because, at the time, Raw and SmackDown were traditionally viewed as the top destinations for WWE talent. However, McIntyre had a different perspective after spending years away from the company. He had already experienced the main roster during his first WWE run. Rather than immediately returning to the same environment, he wanted to establish the new version of Drew McIntyre in NXT.

Drew McIntyre has reflected on one of the most difficult chapters of his WWE career: his release from the company in 2014. During his appearance on The Broken Skull Sessions with Stone Cold Steve Austin, McIntyre discussed the period leading up to his departure and acknowledged that there were deeper reasons behind his struggles than what fans saw on television. McIntyre had spent eight years with WWE before being released on June 12, 2014. At the time, he was part of 3MB alongside Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal. While McIntyre felt the group was accomplishing what it was intended to do, he admitted that he was frustrated because he believed he was capable of much more. “We were on everything. Every TV, every tour, everything you can imagine. 3MB were booked solid,” McIntyre explained. However, the Scottish star also recognized that his personal situation at the time prevented WWE from placing him in a major position. “I could not have been trusted at that time, at that level,” McIntyre admitted. The realization is particularly significant given what happened later in his career. McIntyre eventually rebuilt himself outside WWE, returned to the company in 2017 and went on to become one of WWE's top stars and a multiple-time world champion. His journey from being released to eventually becoming WWE Champion has become one of the defining comeback stories of his career. McIntyre's return also marked the beginning of a completely different chapter. When he came back, there was no lengthy conversation with Vince McMahon beforehand explaining exactly what was expected of him. Instead, McIntyre simply walked out and immediately began rebuilding his reputation. Today, McIntyre's career looks dramatically different from the one that ended in 2014. The former “Chosen One” eventually fulfilled the world championship potential Vince McMahon had identified years earlier.
