I’ve waited patiently. I’ve waited through a broken ankle, COVID-19 and two virtual concerts to replace the real things. But if all signs lead toward positive vibes, it is very possible that the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will return through the Northeast – literally, not virtually or figuratively – for the 2022 holiday season.

Read MoreNow HERE’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover I’ve been waiting for …
Last year, I totally fangeeked over the Spider-Man: No Way Out film. The movie found a way to weave together the last three Spider-Man actors into one cohesive and totally action-packed film.

Max Caster could have been any other up-and-coming professional wrestler. He competed in several independent organizations, just another generic grappler in a sport of larger-than-life personalities. Anthony Bowens could have been just another up-and-coming professional wrestler. He also competed in several independent programs, and even had a match or two on the WWE’s developmental NXT…
