Roddy Piper's film They Live will be playing this Tuesday 11/5 at the Alamo Drafthouse Theater chain. The film stars the WWE Hall of Famer as John Nada, a homeless construction worker who stumbles upon the truth that aliens have taken over and enslaved mankind. Directed by John Carpenter and co-starring Keith David and Meg Foster, They Live opened at the top of the box office when it was released in November 1988, garnering $13,008,928 domestically over its four week run. That would be the equivalent of $33,551,487.85 in 2023. The fight scene between Piper and Keith David is often celebrated as one of the best movie fight sequences of all time. If haven't seen the film, it's worth seeing. Meanwhile our good friends at RSVLTS have released a series of new THEY LIVE shirts to celebrate one of the all-time best films ever starring a WWE Hall of Famer. You can check out RSVLTS' official shirts and order them at www.RSVLTS.com!

Military News spoke with all time great Nikita Koloff at this link ahead of his appearance at Kingdom Life in Chesapeake, Virginia this weekend. On the influence of Ivan Koloff and Don Kernodle, Koloff commented, "I credit much of my success to both Ivan and Don. When I broke in, they were the World Tag-Team Champions at the time and they went well above the call of duty. When I stepped into wrestling, I had no experience, no training, no background of any kind of amateur or professional. Essentially I had on the job training with those two guys, the first two-three months of my career. They were instrumental in my early rise to stardom, along with the other guys that we got in the ring with. We became good friends, and in fact, I was honored to speak at Ivan’s graveside service. I spoke at Don’s funeral with Sargent Slaughter in the front row and I said, had it not been for Sarge and Don, Nikita Koloff would have never been born. They approached Jim Crockett with the idea, he loved it, and Don is the one who approached Road Warrior Animal If he knew any big guys who wouldn’t mind saving their head. Animal said I know a guy right now, gave me a call, I showed up and Don and Ivan, they ended up training me on the job. So that’s the back story."
