November 19, 2001 - RAW: From Charlotte, North Carolina, Ric Flair, once again electrified Wrestling Fans all over the globe making a surprise return to the World Wrestling Federation with a HUGE announcement. The Nature Boy informed Vince McMahon that when Shane & Stephanie sold their WWF Stock, they sold it to him, and that means Vince and the Natureboy are Business Partners! Whhooo!!! Ric Flair then aligns himself with a face-turned Stone Cold Steve Austin to battle Vince McMahon & Kurt Angle. - Sting (Wrestler) -- Ric Flair
Due to his sudden return to the ring (just 6 days before Spring Stampede), Sting was the obvious favourite to win the WCW World Title. However, following an entertaining contest, (where DDP supposedly injured Hogan's knee and put him out of action) Ric Flair fell to a Diamond Cutter from DDP, while Sting struggled to make it to his feet in time to stop the fall. The end result of this match was very disappointing for fans of Sting or even WCW fans in general. - Stone Cold Steve Austin
Get the uncensored "bottom line" from one of the most controversial legends in pro wrestling history, as Stone Cold Steve Austin talks candidly about his life in and out of the ring. From his Texas boyhood as Steve Williams, through his early wrestling days in WCW and ECW and the in-ring injury that nearly left him paralyzed, to his stormy climb to WWE superstardom, it's all Austin as only he could tell it. 150 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; bonus matches; interviews; more. - Undertaker
The No Way Out pay per view on February 18th marked the last time Batista and the Undertaker were under the same roof. With that scheduled to change on the March ninth edition of Friday Night Smackdown, wrestling fans were half expecting to see an explosion. Unfortunately all those fans looking forward to a TNT atmosphere were sadly disappointed with the worse 2 hours of WWE programming in recent memory. Both Raw and ECW brought down the house on Monday and Tuesday night respectively, but Smackdown only featured four matches and less than a handful of additional superstars on the entire program. To the shows credit, all four matches were new, exciting, and may have saved the program from being a complete disaster. - The Sting
The Sting is an Academy Award-winning caper film from 1973 set in September of 1936 and revolving around a complicated plot by two professional grifters (Paul Newman and Robert Redford) to con a mob boss (Robert Shaw). The story, created by screenwriter David S. Ward, was inspired by some real-life con games perpetrated by the brothers Fred and Charley Gondorf and documented by David W. Maurer in his book The Big Con: The Story of the Confidence Man. The movie was directed by George Roy Hill, who ... directed Newman and Redford in the classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The title phrase refers to the moment when a con artist finishes the "play" and takes the mark's money. (Today the name is mostly used in the context of law enforcement sting operations.) If the con game is successful, the mark does not realize he has been "taken" (cheated), at least not until the con men are long gone. - Omni
The Omni was home to the NBA Atlanta Hawks from 1972–1997, the NHL Atlanta Flames from 1972–1980 (now the Calgary Flames), and the IHL Atlanta Knights (1992-1996). The Knights were the only pro team to win a championship in the building by winning the Turner Cup in 1994. The arena ... hosted the 1977 NCAA Final Four, won by Marquette University over North Carolina in what was Warriors' (their nickname at the time) coach Al McGuire's last game, one SEC and three ACC men's basketball tournaments, the 1978 NBA All-Star Game, the 1993 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four, and the volleyball matches for the 1996 Summer Olympics. The Flames have since been replaced by the Atlanta Thrashers, who began play in 1999 after the Omni was demolished and Philips Arena was built. - Lita
