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 […]

When Ricochet made his not-so-surprising debut at AEW All In, showing off much of his best stuff in an incredible showing in the Casino Gauntlet match, it immediately garnered massive reactions from fans across the professional wrestling world, including indie fans excited to have the “Highlight of the Night” back in the trenches, to WWE […]

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.

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?

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?

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.

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?

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

Before AEW was recording huge gates at Wembley Stadium, partnering up with the Texas Rangers for an American Stadium show – All In: Texas – and finding unique ways to build their brand, like partnering up with Warner Brothers Discovery to present TNT Overdrive, the biggest shot Tony Khan cooked up to get his show […]

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.

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 […]
