A Look Back: Triple H's Road to WrestleMania X8
Can you believe it? It's WrestleMania season already! The road to WrestleMania began with the Royal Rumble (as it often does) and it will continue until the weekend of April 2, when the two-night event takes place. Every year, numerous stars have interesting, nail-biting, and yes, emotional roads to that grand stage, and Triple H was no different, as 2002 marked a huge comeback for The Game. Here is the complete story of Triple H's road to WrestleMania in 2002.

Villainess Review: Olivia Stevens (Cut, Color, Murder)
It had been over four months since Hallmark Movies and Mysteries aired an original mystery film. That's a long wait for this fan. HM&M starts their wave of holiday films in late October, and they last for the rest of the year and even about a week or two into the New Year, but during the break, I did learn about this movie, Cut, Color, Murder. From the looks of it, this should be the first of yet another original mystery film series, and if so, I'm looking forward to more of these. The star pairing in this film is Julie Gonzalo, who was recently part of the Arrowverse with her regular role as Andrea Rojas on Supergirl, and Ryan McPartlin, who played on L.A.'s Finest.

28-3: Five Years Later
Hard to believe that five years have passed since the biggest embarrassment in the history of the Super Bowl. On February 5, 2017, the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons faced off in Super Bowl LI, the final chapter of a very intriguing season and playoffs. The Patriots were attempting to win their fifth Super Bowl and their second in a three year span, while the Falcons were in the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history. To the surprise (and delight) to many watching, this was all Falcons to start. It was scoreless after one quarter, but the Falcons exploded on offense; putting up three touchdowns while their defense held the Patriots to a single field goal, which came at the end of the half.

NHL 2021-22 Western Conference 1st Half Recap
The picture in the NHL's Western Conference has been a very intriguing (and crowded) one, to say the least. While it appears that the Eastern Conference may have their playoff teams set in stone, the Western Conference has a lot of pieces on the board entering the All-Star break. The potential for a thrilling second half and home stretch is right in front of us, but before we look at the possibilities, let's look at where the West teams stand.

NHL 2021-22 Eastern Conference 1st Half Recap
It was rocky, but the NHL made it to the All-Star Break, the midpoint of the season. The second half will begin sooner than planned, as the 95 games that were postponed due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, will all be played during the NHL's originally scheduled Olympic break during the heart of February. But that's the second half. This is about the first half of the season, and it was quite interesting in the NHL's Eastern Conference. Here's how things stand in the East entering the break.

Introducing the Washington Commanders
After playing their last two seasons without an actual name, Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise delivered as promised and announced a new name for their team: the Commanders. The name was announced early on February 2, 2022, though it was leaked on social media on the day before. "Commanders" had been a finalist in name choices from the start, with other suggestions including "Red Hogs" and "Admirals." It was a very long road to get to this point, but before I give my thoughts on the new name, I have to detail the history, as ugly as it is.

Villainess Review: Mandy Bronson (Monk)
Hard to believe that this summer will mark the 20th anniversary of Monk, the long-running hit USA Network series that starred Tony Shalhoub as the titular Adrian Monk, a former police detective turned consultant--with an immense amount of phobias. I love this show immensely, it's an amazing series, it's made me a fan of Tony Shalhoub and his various co-stars (including Jason Gray-Stanford, who's done a few Lifetime films), and the show has featured an impressive group of villainesses, and I've written reviews about a few of them.

My Hopes for WWE's Women's Division on the Road to WrestleMania 38
We are officially on the road to WrestleMania, but this diehard women's wrestling fan is left wondering what roles WWE's Women's Division will have at the grand stage. For the third straight year, WrestleMania will be a two-night event, as WrestleMania 38 will take place on April 2 and 3. The grand event being two nights long allows WWE to put together a true supercard, and I think there are many possibilities for the women. WWE's main roster has three championships in their Women's Division: the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships, as well as the Women's Tag Team Championship, with the current iteration having now existed for three years.

Conference Championship Recap: Down to the Wire
I always enjoy the Conference Championships, because this is it. It's the final step before the Super Bowl. The winners go on to the big dance, while the defeated lament about coming so, so close to the ultimate goal. For Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, the fact that they got this far was improbable, yet there they were, at Arrowhead, the AFC's current impenetrable fortress. Even with the Bengals' amazing run, many figured that the proverbial clock would strike midnight on this day. After all, these are the Kansas City Chiefs. Their QB is Patrick Mahomes. Their star receiver is Tyreek Hill. They have the #1 tight end in the league in Travis Kelce. And with KC leading 21-3, it looked like the Chiefs were on their way to their third straight Super Bowl.

Reviewing the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble
Hard to believe, but this year marked the fifth Women's Royal Rumble Match in WWE, and it was quite interesting and very amazing. The phenomenon that started in 2018 took place in WWE's 35th annual Royal Rumble event in St. Louis, and similar to the men's match, 30 women competed for the ultimate goal: a championship opportunity at the grand stage known as WrestleMania. Past winners included Asuka, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair, and tonight, one more woman joined that list. First off, the notable moments.

An Avalanche of Goals and Wins
I have been a fan of the Colorado Avalanche since the team's final two seasons as the Quebec Nordiques. Since the move, the Avalanche have won two Stanley Cups, but it has been a long road back to the prominence this team had back in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The resurrection surprisingly began with a three team trade on November 5, 2017, and just like that, the Avalanche became a playoff team. Here it is, barely over four years later, and now, I am happy to say, the Avalanche we remember from yesteryear, are back.

Batwoman: Reviewing the Conclusion of the "Poison" Arc
The previous episode, "Meet Your Maker," ended with Poison Mary finally meeting the woman who created her, Pamela Isley, who used some of Mary's power to increase hers. The brief encounter would become a true alliance in the following episode, "Toxic," saw the Poisons entrap a prominent doctor in the vines, with Mary believing that her gift is being used to even the playing field and deliver justice--though, as we all know, that's what Pam is making her believe. As we learned in the previews last week, Pam had resurrected her plan from 10 years prior to destroy the Gotham Dam, with the added revelation that the dam was among the many causes of the contaminated water that killed Pam's brother as a child.
