Dark Side Of The Ring&Amp;Apos;S Jeff Jarrett Story Leaves Out Kurt Angle
Dark Side of the Ring’s Jeff Jarrett Story Leaves Out Kurt Angle
Dark Side of the Ring’s new three-part look at Jeff Jarrett and TNA delivers two strong episodes built around Jarrett’s WWF exit, his rocky TNA ownership run, and his marriage to Karen Jarrett. The problem is whose story actually gets told. Kurt Angle is discussed at length by his ex-wife and never once speaks for himself in these two episodes. Vince Russo’s creative chaos gets real scrutiny, but AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe never got the push their in-ring work clearly earned. Awesome Kong’s revelation about a real pay gap in the Knockouts division deserved a full segment instead of a passing mention. It’s an entertaining watch, but so far it’s Jeff Jarrett’s version of TNA, not TNA’s own story.

Jackass: Best And Last Movie Review
Jackass: Best and Last Review – Johnny Knoxville’s Bull Ride Is the Only Stunt That Really Matters
Jackass: Best and Last bills itself as the crew’s farewell ride, and it plays like one, recycling familiar chaos more than breaking new ground. But one sequence justifies the ticket alone: Johnny Knoxville’s collision with a bull, which sends him flipping through the air before he lands and doesn’t move. Between the toilet gags, the Twister-meets-bathroom bit, and the usual male nudity the franchise has never shied away from, there’s still plenty here for longtime fans. We also dig into why Jackass’s DNA runs so deep through pro wrestling, from Darby Allin’s stunt-driven style to Steve-O’s real-life run-in with Umaga. Our full review covers who should see it, and who should skip it entirely.

Anaconda (2025) Review
Anaconda (2025) Review: Paul Rudd and Jack Black Can’t Save This Meta Snake Sequel
Director Tom Gormican’s Anaconda (2025) brings Paul Rudd and Jack Black to the Amazon for a meta horror-comedy where fans remaking the 1997 cult classic encounter an actual giant snake. The result? “Two movies in one,” as Johnny North explains—comedy first, horror second, neither fully committed. Rudd and Black’s chemistry elevates weak material, but tonal inconsistency, limited snake screen time, and a surface-level script land the film in forgettable territory. For die-hard franchise fans only.

🎬 &Quot;Simple Movie, But It Works&Quot; - Johnny North&Amp;Apos;S Sisu: Road To Revenge Review
Finnish Action Masterpiece: Johnny North Reviews Sisu – Road to Revenge
Sisu: Road to Revenge on Netflix is “one of the best movies I’ve seen this year,” according to Wrestling Uncensored’s Johnny North. The Finnish action sequel features a unique approach: a protagonist who never speaks throughout the film’s runtime. Set in 1946 Soviet-occupied Finland, the movie follows legendary commando Aatami Korpi seeking revenge against the Red Army officer who killed his family. Starring Jorma Tommila and Stephen Lang with an €11 million budget, director Jalmari Helander delivers what Johnny calls superior to The Expendables franchise. “It’s just boom, action, next action scene, next action scene,” Johnny describes. “I just love how it was kind of cold at times and it felt kind of gritty. Simple movie, but it works.” Strong violence warning: Johnny repeatedly emphasized this film is not appropriate for children due to extreme graphic content throughout.

Kraven The Hunter Movie Review Thumbnail
KRAVEN THE HUNTER: When Marvel Goes Full Savage Mode
Forget everything you know about family-friendly superhero movies. Wrestling Uncensored’s Johnny North breaks down Sony’s bloodiest Marvel experiment yet – a film where the origin story involves getting mauled by a lion, then washing it down with a voodoo cocktail. With bear traps literally ripping heads apart and violence that would make The Undertaker proud, this isn’t your neighborhood Spider-Man. As Johnny warned: “Don’t bring the kids.” But if you’re ready for a superhero movie that remembers R-ratings exist, our full review explains why this beautifully flawed savagery earns one bloody paw up. Read Wrestling Uncensored’s complete take on why Kraven delivers the raw brutality most Marvel movies are too scared to attempt…
