FEATURE: The Wrestling Streaming World Tour Part Three The UK and European Scene When I was a kid watching wrestling and a wrestler showed up from Europe in general or especially the UK I knew one thing, this person was going to beat the hell out of people.

Disney Reportedly Puts All STAR WARS Spinoffs on Hold [Updated]
UPDATE: ABC has reached out to Lucasfilm, who has dismissed this report as “inaccurate.” The studio says there are still “multiple” Star Wars movies that are in development, but haven’t been announced yet.
