 On the latest episode of Something to Wrestle, Bruce Prichard spoke about the backlot brawl, saying they Piper had an idea for facing OJ in a match at the event. Prichard mentioned how iconic the imagery of the Bronco traveling down the highway was, and said that was the main reason WWE involved it in the match.
“There was at one point that Roddy actually wanted to fight OJ and have that part of WrestleMania and beat the s--t out of OJ,” Prichard said. “That’s what Roddy wanted. We thought about it for a few seconds but America I don’t think would’ve bought that or been interested. There was enough sentiment on both sides, those that thought OJ was innocent and those that felt he was guilty and murdered two people and got away with it. “The white Bronco was there, it was Hollywood, it was California, so let’s have some fun with it. That scene of OJ traveling down the highway was so iconic. If you were talking about ratings back in the day, holy s--t, I wonder what the ratings were for the OJ chase.” Credit Wrestling Inc for article  From TMZ:
DMX has not regained any brain function nearly a week after his overdose, and the family may soon be faced with a tormenting decision ... whether to withdraw life support. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, the battery of tests performed on X Wednesday showed no improvement in brain activity since he was rushed to the hospital after suffering the OD late Friday night. As we reported, he had little brain function after being deprived of oxygen for nearly half an hour. DMX remains in a coma and, as it was put to us, the test results are "not good." We're told the family has asked X's longtime friend and manager, Steve Rifkind, to fly to New York Friday ... another sign that hope is dwindling. It's currently unclear when X's family will make their decision on his medical future, although Rifkind told us earlier this week ... the tests were critical and once the results were in "the family would determine what's best from there  Vice TV has released the official trailer for the acclaimed documentary series Dark Side of the Ring.

American Pie star Tara Reid has teased a fifth sequel to the hugely popular teen comedy franchise, confirming that a script for American Pie 5 is ready. While there have been a whole host of spin-offs branching off from the 1999 original, it has now been close to a decade since audiences last caught up with the American Pie gang. However, according to Reid, fans may not have to wait too much longer.
"It might happen... okay, I can't tell you when, because I don't really know when, because we have to get all the actors and at the same time to get our schedules together. There is a script out there. I'll put it that way." Tara Reid, who has played the character Vicky, throughout the series, sounds pretty confident that an America Pie 5 will be in her and cinema-goers future, adding that the logistics of bringing the cast together again is what's causing the hold up.

DMX remains on life support in a New York hospital, and Wednesday will be an extremely critical day that could determine his outcome. X remains in a coma and his condition has not materially changed ... his manager, Steve Rifkind, tells TMZ. Members of DMX's family visited him Tuesday night ... leaving at around 10 PM. Rifkind says doctors will perform a battery of tests Wednesday to determine the level of brain function. As we reported, when DMX OD'd Friday night, his brain was deprived of oxygen for nearly 30 minutes. Multiple sources told us ... he had "little brain activity." Although we're told the prognosis does not look good, Wednesday's tests will determine decisions the family may have to make.  It seems that a blossoming new friendship between Hollywood A-listers Chris Hemsworth and Russell Crowe could result in a sequel to director Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning historical epic, Gladiator. The pair, who have apparently gotten close while filming upcoming Marvel sequel Thor: Love and Thunder, are rumored to be in talks to co-produce Gladiator 2, with the idea being that Hemsworth will play Maximus' son.
"Russell thinks he could be the only man to credibly play his son in a Gladiator sequel," explains the source. The same insider claims that both Crowe and Hemsworth are "carefully considering the concept" for the long-awaited Gladiator sequel and have "spent hours musing over script ideas." Interestingly, the source has also claimed that it was actually Chris Hemsworth's wife, actress Elsa Pataky, who planted the idea of the Gladiator sequel, saying that "She's often joked they could easily pass off as father and son." Credit MovieWeb for article  In an interview with The Jenna Ben Show, Couture says it certainly seems like a fourth film is in the works, saying that a script is in the works. The actor also says that they're hoping to schedule a shoot either this fall or next fall, but he is unsure which. Couture admits that he hasn't seen a script but that The Expendables 4 has gone through multiple iterations.
"It sounds like we're gonna get to do 4. They've been kicking it around for a couple of years now but I've just recently heard from my agent that they're working on the script for [Expendables] 4 and they're planning to schedule filming for Expendables 4 for this/next fall. So I haven't seen the script yet. They had one a couple of years ago that they were talking about making Expendables 4 out of, and then it [the previous script] got away. You just never know, it's such a weird business sometimes" Couture had previously said The Expendables 4 script was great, but it sounds like the one currently being floated is different from what he saw last year. How the film could have changed is anyone's guess, but it certainly seems like now would be as good a time as any to put a cap on the franchise.
