When the Baltimore Ravens dropped a stunner to the Buffalo Bills in no small part due to John Harbough‘s controversial decision to go for it on fourth and goal at the two, it hurt some feelings. Though Harbough’s thought process wasn’t totally out of bounds, as going up seven on the Bills sounds a whole […]

“Andrade is a terrible guy,” Tony Khan told Robbie Fox on the My Mom’s Basement show. “So if Andrade loses this match (with Pres10 Vance of the Dark Order) he will leave AEW forever and frankly, you know, the way things have been gone with Andrade and the ways things have carried on, I don’t […]

Rey Mysterio is having a tough time in the WWE Universe. His friendship with Edge has hit a snag since his son, Dominik Mysterio, turned on the “Rated R Superstar” at Clash at the Castle, his goings on are constantly being messed with by Judgement Day, and his home life can’t be all that great […]

On a “Premium Live Event” defined by deep-seated feuds and extreme violence, there isn’t a more contentious match scheduled for this year’s running of WWE’s Extreme Rules than Seth Rollins versus Matt Riddle. Since the duo really started getting into it following the injury absences of Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes over the Summer, Rollins […]

Welp, it’s official: Johnny Gargano’s undefeated streak is officially over. He won’t go down as an undefeated WWE Superstar, his record will be forever tarnished, and, after watching his wife, Candice LeRae, lose her match against Dakota Kai thanks to interference from Bayley and IYO SKY, it’s pretty safe to say the Gargano household isn’t […]

Another week, another QR code briefly flashing across the screen on a WWE show to add yet another puzzle piece to the White Rabbit mystery. So what can it be this time? Does it just say, “Bray Wyatt is coming back at Extreme Rules,” as some fans hope to see, or is this instead another […]

WWE’s title picture is in kind of a weird spot right now. As fans of the company already know, both of the promotion’s main roster brands, RAW and SmackDown, have a main title, an “undercard” title, and a tag team title, too, for good measure. Factor in the 24/7 Title, which has thankfully been placed […]

When Brian Cage lost a Philadelphia Streetfight to Ricky Starks on October 6th, 2021 in a match for the FTW Championship, it felt like a mildly consequential contest. Sure, Cage had just been turned on by Team Taz earlier in the year, and had his FTW Championship stripped by Starks thanks to an assist by […]

According to PW Insider, Max Dupri is no more, as WWE has already removed the name from their internal roster. Disappointing? You bet; for how weird Dupri was at times and for how uncomfortable his work made some folks feel, the fashionable manager unabashedly leaned into the character he was given and made the most […]

When Sting debuted in AEW at Winter Is Coming in December of 2020, it felt like a massive deal. Sure, that particular show was always going to be a big one, as more than a few fans had a feeling that Kenny Omega was going to take the strap off of Jon Moxley to begin […]

After months of anticipation, Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre are finally scheduled to face off, in a strap match no less, within the WWE Universe. Finally, the timing will be right to see who the next-biggest star on SmackDown is behind Roman Reigns and who is the rightful challenger for the “Head of the Table’s” […]

FTR haven’t wrestled on AEW television since Dynamite episode 152, when they wrestled alongside former Pinnacle member Wardlow in a trios match against Ren Jones, Vic Capri, and ex-Ring of Honor stalwart Silas Young. Now granted, they have been on AEW programming once since then, as the very same trio wrestled another long-time ROH member, […]

GUNTHER and the rest of Imperium, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, are in the middle of a dominant run on SmackDown. The team, which officially expanded back into a trio at WWE’s Clash at the Castle, have been feuding in a rather one-sided way with Sheamus and his Brawling Brutes, and yet, through it all, […]

Raquel Rodriquez does not like WWE’s Damage Control one bit. She doesn’t like Bayley, the team’s leader, she doesn’t like IYO SKY or Dakota Kai, the former developmental standouts that she spent time with in NXT, and she really doesn’t like how ever since the trio got together, the WWE Universe, regardless of show, has […]

Heading into the 2022 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars looked like it would be a cakewalk. Sure, the Jaguars had long moved on from Urban Meyer, who was embarrassing even by their standards, but would Doug Pederson be able to turn around a team that had missed the […]

Another week, another Philadelphia Eagles win; at this point, what else is new? Taking the field at The Linc for only the second time in the still-young 2022 NFL season, the Birds welcomed the only Super Bowl-winning coach in franchise history, Doug Pederson, back to South Philadelphia with a video package, cheers, and… oh yeah, […]

When the 2022 NFL calendar year opened up, James Bradberry was a member of the New York Giants. He was in the final year of a three-year, $43.5 million contract that was set to produce a $21.8 million cap charge, as archived by the New York Post. While the Giants could have theoretically kept him […]

As fans of the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions, and NFL stat nerds everywhere surely know by now, a new Scorigami has just been achieved in Week 4. What is Scorigami, you may ask? Well, it’s a term coined by SB Nation writer Jon Bois, and refers to an NFL game with a final score that […]

Nick Sirianni is known for his post-game shirt game. He’s worn merch of current Philadelphia Eagles players, the jerseys of Philly legends, and even notoriously wore a “Beat Dallas” shirt in the leadup to a game where Philly did not beat Dallas. And yet, after his team beat up on the Jacksonville Jaguars in an […]

Heading into Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season, Trevor Lawrence and his Jacksonville Jaguars were riding high; the Jags had just secured a pair of wins over the Indianapolis Colts and the Los Angeles Chargers by a combined score of 62-10 in Weeks 2 and 3, and Lawrence was just named the AFC Player […]

When John Harbaugh decided to go for it on fourth and goal from the two with 4:15 to go in the fourth, it was all but certainly going to define the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 4 game against the Buffalo Bills. The team had just strung together a near-10-minute long drive that took the air out […]

Folks, Ariel Helwani has some breaking news that will make WWE fans very excited indeed: “Breaking: Daniel Cormier will serve as guest referee for next Saturday’s Fight Pit Match between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins at WWE’s Extreme Rules in Philly. Oct. 8. No, seriously. It’s really happening. Oct. 8. Incredible.” Seriously? UFC Hall of […]

The AEW Tag Team Championship run of The Acclaimed has been off to a pretty incredible start. The duo of Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, with “Daddy Ass” himself, Billy Gunn in their corner, secured a massive win over Swerve in our Glory on national television at Grand Slam, they followed it up with a […]

While he’s largely been kept busy in WWE wrestling alongside his buddy Austin Theory and Alpha Academy partner in crime Otis, Chad Gable is nothing but a showman. He likes to take a microphone and work the crowd, he loves to insult the intelligence of whatever state he’s in, and when the opportunity presents itself, […]

On Friday evening, the professional wrestling world learned of the loss of Antonio Inoki, the wrestler-turned-promoter-turned-politician who founded New Japan Pro Wrestling and notoriously fought Muhammad Ali at Budokan Hall in 1976. Whether working in NJPW, coming to America for matches in WCW, WWE, or NWA, or simply showcasing his “fighting spirit” as one of […]

Before he was “Freakin’” – a moniker he isn’t particularly enthralled with – and before he was the Monday Night Messiah of RAW, Seth Rollins was “The Beast Slayer” of WWE. He was riding high on a series of big victories, including winning a pair of championship victories against Brock Lesnar, and was acting as […]

“Hey, I see right through you. You’ve got everybody and their momma out here fooled including my family but I see right through you, Sami Zayn. This your warning shot. If you even think about putting the family in jeopardy, I will get you.” – These words, spoken by Jey Uso on WWE SmackDown, highlighted […]

Drew McIntyre is WWE’s workhorse. Though he hasn’t held a title since February of 2021, when he was brutally beaten down by Bobby Lashley before The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, McIntyre has remained a steady contributor to WWE’s weekly television, “Premium Live Event,” and even house show circuit, having wrestled […]

Liv Morgan is WWE’s SmackDown Women’s Champion. Though she didn’t win the belt under the most prestigious of circumstances, as she opted to cash the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase in on Ronda Rousey after her match with Natalya at Money in the Bank the “Premium Live Event” instead of surviving an all-out war […]

After fully embracing his role in the Maximum Male Models following the WWE exit of Vince McMahon, Maxi Dupri has seemingly quit his titular group due to the team’s lack of ambition and in-ring success. … yes, you read that correctly; after watching his sister, Maxxine Dupri, encourage her wards, ma.ce and man.soor, to go […]

WWE has a bit of a pest problem. Mind you, they don’t have ants, gnats, or even snakes; WWE has a bad case of white rabbits, little, pesky white rabbits who keep running across the screen and getting into mischief. Coming in the form of folks holding signs with QR codes attached, white rabbits have […]

A lot has changed about Shotzi Blackheart since she made the jump from NXT to SmackDown within the WWE Universe. For one thing, Shotzi is a Blackheart no more, as Vince McMahon opted to streamline her name like he had to oh so many other performers before. Then, in an even crueler twist of fate, […]

When Bandido made his way to AEW for a main event bout with Chris Jericho for the Ring of Honor World Championship, it felt like a big deal for professional wrestling’s “Most Wanted Luchador.” If the former Ring of Honor Champion was able to overcome the odds, not to mention “The Ocho,” Chris Jericho, and […]

There isn’t a more contentious paring in AEW than Matt Hardy and Private Party. After a strong early showing in AEW that notoriously saw the young team defeat the Young Bucks in the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament, the duo of Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy rapidly fell out of prominence in Tony […]

To call Seth Rollins a stalwart of the WWE roster would be an understatement; initially signed to the company in 2010, Rollins has done just about everything a WWE superstar could hope to, from being part of a Hall of Fame-worthy faction, to winning enough championships to qualify for Grand Slam status, and even finding […]

Since debuting on the WWE man roster at the Edge’s homecoming edition of RAW from Toronto, Johnny Gargano has been an absolute joy. He’s consistently outsmarted his former The Way pseudo-son Austin Theory, has wrestled multiple entertaining matches against the Alpha Academy, and most importantly of all, had reunited the Panda Express with fellow former […]

Unless WWE has an incredible swerve up their sleeves that is sure to polarize fans in a major way, it sure looks like the WWE’s White Rabbit is going to be none other than Windham Rotunda, the man known to Fed fans by a variety of different names, from Husky Harris, to the “Eater of […]
