When it comes to the Baltimore Ravens, the safety position just seems to mean more. Call it a byproduct of employing Ed Reed for over a decade, call it a byproduct of being a defense-first team since its inception, or just call it a byproduct of the ever-evolving landscape of the sport, with safeties now […]

After watching two of their leaders from the past few seasons, Aaron Donald and Ernest Jones IV, leave Inglewood via retirement and a shocking later summer trade that still has fans in their feelings before the season, the Los Angeles Rams are a team looking for a new identity on the defensive side of the […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when WWE fans were dissecting the feud between Roman Reigns and Matt Riddle, with each beat of their on-screen battle drawing questions about the behind-the-scenes beef running rampant online. Fortunately, that is no longer a popular topic within the IWC, as Riddle has been out of WWE […]

When the San Francisco 49ers officially released their initial 53-man roster, fans were met with more than a few interesting takeaways regarding their favorite team. For one thing, Jon Feliciano made the initial 53-man roster, which was very much up in the air considering his injury history, and after watching Brandon Aiyuk’s situation play out, […]

When Sean McVay boldly announced that Kyren Williams was going to enter the 2024 season as the Los Angeles Rams’ primary punt returner, it took the NFL world by storm.

After taking in All In as a fan last year, Mercedes Mone was afforded her first-ever chance to wrestle at Wembley Stadium in front of 50,000 fans and did not disappoint, orchestrating the opening of the night in a Queen-themed Corgi carriage ride before retaining her title against Britt Baker near the end of the […]

Discussing the prospects of Chase missing practice, which the sixth-year head coach said wouldn’t […]

For much of Scott D’Amore’s time at TNA/Impact, WWE was the enemy. Sure, TNA still employed former WWE stars, watched their own talent leave for the promotion, and, on occasion, welcomed said talent back when things didn’t work out, but when it came to actually dealing with the top name in Sports Entertainment, it was […]

When the clock struck 4 pm Eastern on August 27th, almost half of the players in the NFL were handed their walking papers, with each team, from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Seattle Seahawks, forced to cut down their roster to 53 men. Now to some players, this is the end of their NFL journeys, […]

When WWE fans look to discredit more than a member of the AEW roster, the first line they’ll throw around to discredit the promotion is that it’s full of ex-WWE guys. Jon Moxley? Sure, he’s a massive star in AEW with one of the best resumes in the promotion’s history, but he was also Dean […]

When news broke that James Bradberry made the Philadelphia Eagles’ 53-man roster, fans had questions. Sure, it would cost more to keep him on the roster than release him, a fact that fans have pointed out early and often in the hours proceeding, but he looked back during the preseason, missed time during camp, and […]

When the Los Angeles Rams released multiple players with return experience, most notably Boston Scott, the team’s 2024 free agent signing, fans wondered who would end up returning punts against the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Would it be wide receiver Tutu Atwell? Running back Ronnie Rivers? Or maybe a wildcard option like Quentin Lake, […]

With the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster officially trimmed down to 53 players in order to comply with the NFL’s timeline, there’s one question that has picked up steam online: why did Kellen Moore and company only keep two tight ends? Now sure, technically, the Eagles do have three tight ends still under standard NFL contracts, as […]

In a move that felt increasingly likely with each passing week, James Bradberry, the former All-Pro cornerback who wore out his welcome last season, has officially made the Philadelphia Eagles’ initial 53-man roster. … but why? Did he perform really well in camp after making the interesting move to safety? No, not really. Or maybe […]

After suffering more injuries than almost any other team in the NFL over the course of the offseason, it’s safe to say the San Francisco 49ers will have at least a few unlikely starters come Week 1, as even the likes of Talanoa Hufanga, Ricky Pearsall, and Spencer Burford could miss their expected starts when […]

For the vast majority of his WWE career, Randy Orton has been a heel and darn good at it. Now sure, every once in a while Orton would put on a smile and do the right thing for a time, but even the most optimistic fan had to know that such moments were only fleeting, […]

When it comes to the offensive tackle position, few teams in the NFL have been as unlucky so far this summer as the Los Angeles Rams. First came the ankle injury suffered by Rob Havenstein, the Rams’ long-time right tackle who has been holding things down for signal callers since he was selected in the […]

When it comes to fan reactions at WWE shows, few hold a candle to Jey Uso. The son of Rikishi and the proud holder of the longest Tag Team Championship reign in WWE history, Uso has captured the hearts and imaginations of fans the WWE Universe over with his “Yeet” catchphrase, and if merch sales […]

While AEW All In didn’t have the debut of Becky Lynch, Bobby Lashley, or any other former WWE World Champion, with the biggest fresh face being the “Highlight of the Night,” Ricochet, there was one big-time return Tony Khan booked that impacted the show more than the Grizzled Young Veterans, Jamie Hayter, or even Nigel […]

After taking a pretty serious tumble from their 2022 heights over the course of the 2023 season, with the team struggling to overcome the losses of both offensive coordinator Shane Steichen and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves at a crossroads heading into the 2024 NFL season. If the team plays well, […]

While much has been written about the pre-existing relationship between new addition Jahan Dotson and Saquon Barkley, as the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive weapons both call Penn State their collegiate alma mater, did you know the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft actually has a relationship with AJ Brown too? It’s true, discussing his […]

After spending the last few years battling cancer, Sid Eudy, the man who famously played characters like Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid across WWE, WCW, and beyond, has passed away at the age of 63.

After recording what he already considers the greatest wrestling moment of his career at All In, defeating Swerve Strickland to become the new AEW World Champion, Bryan Danielson was asked about his future, his dream opponents, and whether or not he still plans to retire by the end of the 2024 calendar year. While the […]

Heading into All In, one of the low-key most interesting storylines fans wanted to see was how things would shake out between Darby Allin and the TNT Champion, Jack Perry. Why? Gosh, how much time do you have? After drawing arguably the biggest headlines of his career last year at All In for getting into […]

When news broke that Ricochet was leaving WWE after a, shall we say, up-and-down tenure on the main roster with the express intention of signing with AEW, it rubbed some fans of RAW and SmackDown the wrong way. Sure, they weren’t too worried about Ricochet leaving a massive hole on future WWE cards, as his […]

When AEW holds a Casino Gauntlet match, you just know it’s going to be impressive, as Tony Khan has practically turned the match type into AEW’s signature bout, but when AEW holds a Casino Gauntlet match at All In? In front of 50,000 fans? Yeah, you’d better believe it’s going to be filled to the […]

After forming one of the most entertaining storylines in all of AEW alongside the likes of Luther, Mina Shirakawa, RJ City, and, occasionally, Ben Mankowitz from Turner Classic Movies, Mariah May and Toni Storm finally took the ring in the second match of All In to not only decide who can call themselves the Women’s […]

After missing most of August with a hamstring injury, Cooper DeJean made his debut for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Preseason finale, playing much of the game against the Minnesota Vikings while many of the team’s starters rested on the bench. The results? Mixed. Now granted, it’s hard to really judge DeJean too harshly, as […]

It’s happened, it’s finally happened: after weeks of anticipation, Ja’Marr Chase has officially returned to the field for the Cincinnati Bengals. That’s right, after spending much of the summer on the shelf as he pushed for a new contract with the Bengals, the former LSU receiver is expected to return on Sunday as his team […]

With AEW All In officially here, there’s one question above all others that has fans of professional wrestling picking sides: Bryan Danielson versus Swerve Strickland; who you got? To some, the answer is obvious: Strickland’s run with the top title has been very good, and giving him a win over Danielson would only make him […]

With All In mere hours away, all eyes in professional wrestling are firmly locked in on Wembley Stadium in London, England, where one of the biggest shows of the year will all but define the future of AEW.

While it’s hard enough to carve out a long and noteworthy career in the NFL regardless of the position you play or where you were drafted, there’s a special fraternity of quarterbacks who were selected first overall who were immediately thrust into that spotlight, with the oldest in the NFL being Los Angeles Rams starter […]

When Grayson Waller hyped up his very special episode of The Grayson Waller Effect on social media, few expected that his show would have a little bit of everything, from an appearance of his advertised guest, Cody Rhodes, to a surprise appearance by Kevin Owens, and even… AEW wrestler Chris Jericho? Yes, you read that […]

With All In rapidly approaching, one of the biggest potential surprises of the show might have already been spoiled, as it has been widely reported that Ricochet, the former WWE Speed Champion, has officially signed a long-term contract with AEW heading into the promotion’s biggest weekend of the year. Now granted, Ricochet landing in AEW […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Cam Akers looked like the Los Angeles Rams’ new runningback of the future.
