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.

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.

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?

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles defense go from encouraging to alarming to down-right disastrous in 2023, Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni, and company wasted no time or resources addressing their issues in a major way, signing Vic Fangio, one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL today, to replace Sean Desai at defensive coordinator. Through […]

When it comes to pure football acumen, few players are on the level of San Francisco 49ers middle linebacker Fred Warner. Somehow drafted in the third round out of BYU all the way back in 2018, Warner has rapidly transformed himself into a lethal weapon for the 49ers, holding up incredibly well against the pass, […]

When it comes to Paul Heyman, he doesn’t really think about The Bloodline’s storyline in terms of the PLE schedule, the calendar year, or even title lengths but instead through the lens of a baseball game, with each chapter of the storyline viewed instead as an inning for the native New Yorker. Now granted, this […]

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles season fall apart in a spectacular way back in January, with the team going from the best record in the NFL to an ugly Super Wild Card weekend loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there were genuine questions about the future of Nick Sirianni with the Birds.

Whenever Chris Jericho steps foot in the ring, runs a video package, or posts something online, one phrase will always follow: please retire.

While the San Francisco 49ers are currently the walking wounded, with over a dozen players on the injury report for one reason or another, Kyle Shanahan has still been afforded plenty of chances to evaluate the player he’ll be going into battle with come Week 1, from rookie UDFAs just fighting for a practice squad […]

Though the news technically broke before the start of Monday Night RAW, with the former All-Pro punter letting his fans know on social media to tune into WWE’s flagship show to see his final regular appearance of the year, Michael Cole and company made sure to make it official during the three-hour broadcast: Pat McAfee […]

After watching CM Punk shout out Florida Panthers executive Roberto Luongo and declare himself “Taylor Swift for men” in an incredible segment on Monday Night RAW, the fans in Sunrise, Florida, were treated to the task at hand: Drew McIntyre versus the “Second City Saint” at Bash in Berlin. Sure, Punk likes to have fun, […]

While losing Aaron Donald on the defensive side of the ball has been incredibly tricky for the Los Angeles Rams to overcome, as the 10-time Pro Bowler will unquestionably go down as one of the greatest defensive linemen of all time, his impact wasn’t only left on the gridiron, with the Pitt product providing just […]

After sitting through a brutal 2023 season that saw the Philadelphia Eagles take a step back at seemingly every step along the way from the 2022 heights of Nick Sirianni’s head coaching career, Jalen Hurts and company are flying high so far this summer under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. The offense has looked new […]

When AEW announced that Mercedes Mone was releasing her own digital newsletter, the Moné Mag Weekly, coming to fans “Live From the Desk of the CEO,” it seemed like a relatively non-story for fans of professional wrestling. Sure, Mone has told a few fun stories, opened up about her past, present, and future in the […]

Though Roman Reigns has been back in the WWE Universe for a few weeks now, making his triumphant return at SummerSlam and appearing on both episodes of SmackDown since costing Solo Sikoa the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, one aspect of his presentation has been sorely lacking: “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman. Now granted, this is […]

After teasing his return to the WWE ring for a promo one week after leaving massive marks on Drew McIntyre’s back with a leather strap, CM Punk didn’t go full-on fire and brimstone, accusing his foe of being evil, heartless, or a bully – okay, he eventually got there – but instead to shout out […]

With Cody Rhodes set to wrestle his friend Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin as a sort of favor for always having his back, more than a few fans have had one question in particular about the “American Nightmare’s” future schedule: why not give a similar shot to Randy Orton? On paper, it makes sense, […]

Who is the Philadelphia Eagles’ WR3 behind AJ Brown and DeVona Smith? Is it the most tenured player in the group, punter returned-turned-offensive weapon Britain Covey? Or how about rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, who has thoroughly lapped fifth-rounder Ainias Smith for playing time? Could it be free agent signee Parris Campbell, who signed with […]

When it comes to certified Vince McMahon haters, few are as high profile and long-lasting as Bret Hart, the former WWF Champion and leader of the Hart Foundation, who has been feuding with the former Chairman of the Board both work and shoot since the Montreal Screwjob back in the 1990s. Now even at the […]
