With All In rapidly approaching, one question that has been on the top of fans’ minds has been the promotion’s rumored interest in Shane McMahon, the former heir apparent to WWE who has since been allowed to hit free agency after a disapointing final showing at WrestleMania 39. On paper, adding a McMahon to AEW’s […]

Drew McIntyre is one of the top superstars in the WWE today after being handpicked by Vince McMahon himself in 2009 as The Chosen One. It’s been quite some time since the Scottish Warrior last hoisted a world title, and McIntyre is currently recovering from injuries he incurred from a sneak attack by CM Punk. However, […]

There was a time in the 1980s when Jesse Ventura was one of the most popular members of the WWE – then the WWF – Universe.
