1.) Michael Jackson, a man who hasn't had a hit in many years, was aquitted on all counts. Unfortunately for him, it surely marks the end of his career. Of course, his career REALLY ended in 1993 when he was first charged with molesting a child.
2.) Mike Tyson, former Champion of the World, gave up in the 6th round to Irishman Kevin McBride (from Dorchester, MA what what), in possibly the final time he steps into a boxing ring. Of course, his career REALLY ended in 1990 when he lost to Buster Douglas, and later was imprisoned.
3.) The Spice Girls, who were to reform at Live 8, were cancelled from appearing on the show because they weren't the type of music organizers were looking for. Of course, they REALLY ended in 1998 when they broke up after their one-hit, crappy movie days were gone.
4.) Madonna, the First Lady of Pop, apologized for "over-sexing" her image and performances, including her infamous early 90s tour solidified in music history with her cone-shaped corset and fishnet stockings. Of course, her career REALLY ended with Ray of Light in 1998 (although some would say Evita was the last time anyone really cared.)
5.) Extreme Championship Wrestling, the company that was an upstart in 1993 and forced the then-World Wrestling Federation to change its format in the mid-90s to WWF Attitude (which in turn created the biggest wrestling boom in pop culture since Hulkamania) had two reunion shows (one a PPV sponsered by now-World Wrestling Entertainment). Of course, ECW REALLY died a few years ago after WWE and WCW talent raids during the late 90's until the death of the company.
6.) Tom Cruise, the golden boy of the 90's, appeared on Leno to try to make himself seem more normal after his outbursts on Oprah, etc. Of course, he hasn't REALLY been normal since he devoted his life to Scientology in the 90's.
The 80's will live forever. Unfortunately for the 90's, they'll only live until GTA: San Andreas gives way to the next generation GTA. As a child of the 90s (I remember very little before the First Gulf War) I have to say I'm quite sad. Its tough getting older when you realize those you grew up with are no longer at the top (or even close) of their game.
