DICK YARBROUGH: Taking the easy route to immortality - The Albany Herald

Immortality is for vampires not TV shows. The CW announced the cancellation of Legacies earlier this month, and the June series finale will bring The Vampire Diaries Universe to an end after nearly 13 years.

Its the Red Wedding at WBTV/CW today, executive producer Julie Plec tweeted on May 12 after Legacies was among more than half a dozen shows canceled at The CW.

A day later, Plec thanked the fans, cast and crew and gave a little tease of whats to come. She confirmed that the writers had a heads up about a possible cancellation, so the Legacies season 4 finale was written to function as a series finale.

Mark Pedowitz & his team at The CW had the class & grace to warn the shows that they might not survive, even if The CW wanted them, Plec shared via Twitter on May 14. Because of that, the season finales of both shows were carefully crafted to also work as series finales.

Plec helped start The Vampire Diaries Universe in 2009 when she and Kevin Williamson adapted L.J. Smiths novels for TV. The show which starred Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder as Elena, Stefan and Damon, respectively quickly veered away from the source material and created a whole new world for the small screen that initially focused on vampires before introducing witches, werewolves and even gods.

The flagship vampire drama ended in 2017 after eight seasons, and The Originals, its first spinoff, ended in 2018 after five seasons. Legacies premiered the following fall, bringing together characters and stories from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. Hope (Danielle Rose Russell), the daughter of Original vampire Klaus (Joseph Morgan, star of The Originals) attends the Salvatore School, an educational facility for magical beings created in the series finale of The Vampire Diaries by Caroline (Candice King) and Alaric (Matt Davis).

Hope has come into her own as the only living tribrid (thats a vampire-witch-werewolf hybrid) and is trying to make sure she can be a hero, despite her fathers dark history. While her father had his family, Hope has her classmates to rely on. The Super Squad, led by the tribrid and Alaric, includes Lizzie (Jenny Boyd), MG (Quincy Fouse), Landon (Aria Shahghasemi), Kaleb (Chris Lee), Cleo (Orono Okojie), Ethan (Leo Howard), Finch (Courtney Bandeko) and Jed (Ben Levin).

Legacies loves giving TVD fans some easter eggs, whether showing Lizzie drive Damons old car or quick references to characters like Elena, who is now a doctor. Expect even more fun nods in the final episodes of the spinoff.

I can speak for #Legacies in saying that Brett and I and the writing team poured all kinds of love into it, Plec shared two days after the cancellation via Twitter. And there are a couple surprises for long-time #TVDU fans that may just blow your mind. .

Heres everything we know so far about the end of Legacies:

Legacies Final Episodes Will Include Surprises: Everything to Know About the End of The Vampire Diaries Universe - Us Weekly

Celtics title celebrations went into full swing with a six-goal hammering of Motherwell.

There were a host of Hotline calls playing tribute to Ange Postecoglou and his players. But with a Europa League Final for Rangers looming, there were also some postcards from Seville.

Peter Lyons, Blantyre, said: "What an incredible day at Celtic Park, the emotion shown throughout the match was fantastic. I am now in my 60s and have supported this fabulous club for over 55 years and for all the trophies I have seen won, this in my opinion has been the best.

"It supersedes Wim Jansen stopping the 10-in-a-row and also our centenary Double. Now on to next season."

Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: "From a season of despair to a season of delight. Id like to thank Postecoglou for taking Celtic from second best to simply the best. I also hope Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers will stay, the after match celebrations on Saturday might have just clinched their decision to sign on."

Lance Little, Erskine, said: "What a fantastic day of celebrations Saturday was. Having our trophy returned to us after a faultless 6- 0 final match was amazing. The celebrations in Glasgow after the game were even better. No rioting, no carnage, no broken benches. The fans gave a masterclass on how to celebrate properly."

George Wilson, West Sussex, said: "There were only four points in it in the end. Celtic manipulated the fixtures by having games postponed after Christmas to allow their injured players to come back and new signings to come in. Rangers stumbled at this point and drew a few games having previously been on a good run. If the fixtures had remained the same I dont think there is any doubt Rangers would have won the league."

Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: "I'm having a brilliant time here in Seville. I don't think the other half of Glasgow would like it though as Spanish television only covers elite level football no Dragons Den, Masterchef or The Repair Shop. I'm away for some more paella and sangria."

We're testing a new site:This content is coming soon

Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, said: "This is surely one of the most momentous weeks in the history of Rangers with two winner-takes-all games. It started well with a virtual reserve side that comprehensively beat Hearts and included stand-out performances from future stars Cole McKinnon and Alex Lowry."

John Davidson, Armadale, said: "It was nice to see Gio van Bronckhorst giving youth a chance against Hearts in the last game of the season and the kids didn't let him down. The future looks really good down Ibrox way."

John Bruce emailed: "Hearts supporters must be demoralised after watching their team being comfortably beaten by a Rangers youth team. Even more so with Scotland's player of the year being beaten three times by those kids and it being one week before facing Rangers' first team in the Scottish Cup Final.

"Rangers fans will have been delighted at the first team debut of young Adam Devine and a man-of-the-match performance by Alex Lowry, along with three or four other strong performances from fellow starlets. Lowry is an exceptional talent and could possibly save Rangers from spending millions of pounds on a new player in the summer."

Gordon Ferguson, Kilwinning, said: "Now that the sideshow is over and the title is back in the east end of Glasgow, lets get on with the main event as Rangers can take Scottish football to a new high with victory in Europe. It's time to show Rangers the respect they deserve. The Phoenix has risen it's time to become immortal Bears."

Bruce Bayne, Carronvalley, said: "Can I urge Rangers to please help your fans with the shambles that is booking the fan zone stadium in Seville. Your lack of positive help for your loyal fans is shameful. There have been no updates, assistance, information or care."

And finally.

Alan Graham emailed: "Congratulations to Inverness for a real backs-to-the-wall performance on Friday in difficult conditions against Arbroath. It was not the greatest football display but a fantastic result. Dick Campbell said after the game that Christmas had come early for Inverness, but come on Dick, it was Arbroath that received the Christmas presents after two dreadful sending off decisions."

Rangers fan turns Winston Churchill with impassioned call that pleads for immortality Hotline - Daily Record

Last night, Peral Jam performed at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, Calif. as part of their Gigaton Tour. Drummer Matt Cameron was absent from the performance due to COVID-19; Pearl Jam made due by enlisting touring memberJosh Klinghoffer, Seattle-based drummerRichard Stuverud and on one track, welcomed a local drummer from the band The Alive, Kai Neukermans.

The show started with Vedder performing a solo cover of Hunters & Collectors Throw Your Arms Around Me. He then introduced Klinghoffers Pluralone for the opening set during which Pearl Jams guitarist Stone Gossard sat in. Pearl Jams main set saw Klinghoffer and Stuverud switching off on drums. Klinghoffer kicked things off and opened the show with Long Road, Given To Fly, Once,and Corduroy, incorporated a cover of Pink Floyds Interstellar Overdrive.

Stuverud then took to the kit cover of Neil Youngs Throw Your Hatred Down, Quick Escape, Dissident and WMA. After WMA which saw both drummers squaring up, Vedder spoke into the mic. This is very exciting for us. I saw this group play called The Alive and they just blew my mind. Theyre pretty young for how hard they can play and how much impact they had, said Vedder. They were playing their own songs and then they had a Metallica cover that blew doors [open]. My daughter reminded me that theyre from here in Mill Valley. We reached them this afternoon. He hasnt graduated high school yet. I think this is the year, right? Please welcome to the stage Mill Valleys own Kai Neukermans!

Neukermans joined them on stage for Mind Your Manners, off of 2013s Lightning Bolt. After what was a core memory for Neukermans, Klinghoffer returned to the stage for Brain Of J and Low Light. Stuverud then hopped back in for Even Flow before giving the reins back to Klinghoffer for Immorality and Do The Evolution. They continued to switch off until they arrived at set closer Rearviewmirror which closed as Mike McCready smashed and tossed his guitar on stage.

Pearl Jam encored with Vedder and Ament on acoustic guitar for a stripped-down Bee Girl. The rest of the band joined them for Smile, Better Man, and a cover of Victoria Williams Crazy Mary which served as the final song of the night with Klinghoffer handling drums. The encore continued with Stuverud for Porch, Alive and finally, The Whos Baba OReilly.

Eddie Kingston wants to live forever by participating in the G1 Climax Tournament.

Eddie Kingston bears his soul in everything he does in professional wrestling. It is part of what connects professional wrestling fans to his journey on such a deep level. A huge part of that journey and Eddie Kingstons love of professional wrestling is his fondness for Japanese wrestling. Kingston has openly admitted that he takes a lot of his move set from top Japanese stars such as Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada, Kenta Kobashi, and others.

XFL Strikes Multiyear TV Rights Deal With Disney

In a new interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Kingston further explains his love of Japanese wrestling and how he feels about the working relationship between AEW and New Japan Pro-Wrestling ahead of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view on June 26 and his upcoming match against Tomohiro Ishii at NJPW STRONG Capital Collision.

I dont think people fully understand. Yes, my favorite wrestling was All Japan during the 90s. But I watched New Japan as well, Kingston explained. Cause I remember the Three Musketeers. I remember Keiji Muto, aka the Great Muta, who was the first Japanese wrestler I ever saw. Then, of course, theres Masahiro Chono. I thought the STF was the deadliest move in the world. I remember Jim Ross screaming about it on commentary and Chono learned it from Lou Thesz. Thats a name you know, even if you have never seen him wrestle. But you know the name. Then you had Shinya Hashimoto, who was just a badass. He was my personal favorite.

I know the history and it means a lot, Kingston continued. Thats why I mentioned Tenryu and Riki Choshu to Ishii, to let him know, I know who trained you, dog. I watched them. I studied them as well. So I know who they are. I know the history. Thats why wipe my feet, of course, and I give a kiss to the logo in the middle of the ringtake my hand, put a little kiss on it. out of respect. It feels great. All that political stuff, I didnt see it. As soon as I was able to work with AEW, and I was lucky enough and blessed enough to do it, STRONG hit me up a couple of weeks later and AEW, even before this working relationship, was like, Yeah, okay. Do it. So I never saw all the political side. But for those that did, sorry. Now you dont have to see it.

Speaking more directly about the Forbidden Door event and concept, Kingston size that in his two decades in wrestling, he has never seen promotions come together the way so many have in recent years.

Its amazing. Its an amazing feeling. In my twenty-year career, I have never seen it like this where everybodys working together, he said. "Theres no political B.S. where, I dont like this person because of whatever. Its, Oh, you want to do the show? Fine, go make your money or Thats a really good match-up. Maybe we can show it here. Everybodys starting to work together, which is what I thought wrestling was. Remember, Im an 80s baby. So I grew up at the tail end of the territories. So I saw, at one point in time, all the territories trying to work together to beat Vince. So I thought thats the way it was supposed to be. Not to beat Vince, but to work together and have more places to work. I think its great. Ive never seen it like this.

Kingston did not want to overthink about his potential position on that card on June 26 because he isn't sure if you will even be booked yet. However, he does name a dream opponent from Japan that he would like to face, Jun Akiyama, who although he was never one of the four pillars of AJPW in the 90s, was always across the ring from Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue, and Toshiaki Kawada, and eventually made a major name for himself when NOAH was formed in the early 2000s.

Kingston also said he would like to face Hiroshi Tanahashi or Yuji Nagata, if given the opportunity.

Well, I already have Ishii at STRONG. So, that was number one for New Japan [Shin Nippon Puroresu]. Hopefully, I said it right. Ishii was the guy," said Eddie. "Tanahashi, to me, saved puroresu at one time. Especially for New Japan. Of course, him. Nagata, of course, cause when that whole run he had with the IWGP title going sixty [minutes] with Chono and other matches, facing off against the shooters during a time period that was a little rough. But he was in there. He was a warrior. But for Forbidden Door, I dont know if it can happen, but if we talk about the Forbidden Door, itd be Akiyama. I know he doesnt work with New Japan or hes not with them, I know hes with DDT, but Forbidden Door, right? Thats what everybody [is]."

For now, Eddie remains hopeful that he will be on the card which will emanate from Chicago's United Center.

Yeah, again, I dont know anything about that. I just say, Hey, this is my dream match or Hey, this is the dude I want to work with. Either Chris Daniels comes back to see me and says, Tony says no or Tony said yes or Tony, when he gets excited, hell tell me yes, he said.

Of course, actually wrestling in Japan again remains a huge goal for Eddie Kingston who has not been in Japan in over a decade. During the interview with Sean, Kingston took the time to say that he wants to compete in the G1 Climax tournament, as he sees that tournament as his chance to live forever.

Yeah. The last time I was in Japan was in 2011 for Osaka Pro, at the time," he recalled. "Yeah, G1 has always been a goal. I was talking to somebody the other night, it was a youngin in the locker roomIm not gonna say whobut I was trying to explain that when I broke in my biggest goals were ECW, right before they closed; All Japan, at the time, before the NOAH split; and then New Japan and I wanted to be in all the tournaments. So, of course, the G1s always a goal. If not this year, then itll be a goal next year. For me, personally, the competitor in me, its not just about being invited to the G1. Its about actually winning. Not just doing good. Not just making it to the finals and other people would be happy about that. No, Im trying to live forever. Im trying to have my legacy live forever, so Im trying to win the whole thing. So G1. Theres your answer. To anyone listeningG1! Lets go.

For now, Eddie Kingston turns his attention to Tomohiro Ishii and their match at NJPW Capital Collision on Saturday, May 14. You can view the updated card here. Fightful will have coverage of the event on Saturday beginning at 8 p.m. ET
