    After Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he believes he "could kick most [Trump supporters' a--," one of them has stepped up to the plate - and he is automatically the heavy favorite. WWE legend Kane, who stands 7 feet tall and wrestled at over 300 pounds during his illustrious career, has challenged Walz to a charity wrestling match. Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, now the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee, issued a challenge to Walz on Thursday.
  • Chiefs' absurd penalty streak in playoffs does little to dispel notion that referees favor Kansas City

    The only thing hotter than a ticket for the Bills-Chiefs AFC title game might be football fans' hatred for referees' perceived partiality toward the Chiefs. I caught wind of a penalty trend from Warren Sharp (Sharp Football Analysis) via ESPN and had to see for myself just how rare it was historically. Turns out, Kansas City is in rare air. The Chiefs have gone 11 straight playoff games without committing more penalties than their opponents, the longest streak by any team in the last 30 years. The only teams with longer streaks in playoff history were the 1970-82 Dolphins (18)...

    On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about the NFL playoffs.Marlow said, “You guys know the NFL just rigs it for the Chiefs, right? Because they need to have Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. … [T]hat does seem real, right? … I don’t follow sportsball that close. I haven’t watched any football this year, I don’t think. … I’ve seen some of the calls.”
  • The people of LA booed Hulk Hogan out of the arena on "Monday Night Raw" Netflix premier

    Bro, they did Hulk Hogan wrong when he returned to Monday Night Raw last night in LA. Look at this absolute disrespect of an American hero: VIDEO AT LINK.................... Just gonna boo Mr. America, huh? This was Raw's first-ever showing on Netflix, and the snowflakes of California just let Hulk Hogan have it. Likely, they're upset because Hogan came out in support of Donald Trump over the summer. That's their right, I suppose. Kamala Harris, the California girl, got absolutely pummeled by Trump, and they're probably still sore about it in Cali. But honestly, who boos Hulk Hogan? Only in...

    Dave Bautista posted a get-out-the vote message wearing a Kamala Harris-Tim Walz shirt, as he told his social media followers “made by freedom hear.” The WWE star and actor wrote on Instagram, “Made my freedom heard. Voting early took me 20 mins—no excuses. Freedom isn’t something we just talk about; it’s something we act on. Do your part, get out there, and vote. Your voice matters, and this election’s too important to sit out.”

    Dr. Anthony Fauci nearly appeared on The Bump during the pandemic, according to Matt Camp. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic turned the wrestling world upside down. Fans were unable to attend shows, so WWE held tapings in empty arenas before they pivoted to the ThunderDome. Throughout the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci was often in the news, as he served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and he was also the chief medical advisor to the president from 2021 to 2022 The Young Bucks Say They Are Inserting The Wild Card Into Men's Owen Hart...

    The idea triggered a full-scale revolt on the Google campus. Six years ago, the Silicon Valley giant signed a small, $9 million contract to put the skills of a few of its most innovative developers to the task of building an artificial intelligence tool that would help the military detect potential targets on the battlefield using drone footage. Engineers and other Google employees argued that the company should have nothing to do with Project Maven, even if it was designed to help the military discern between civilians and militants. The uproar forced the company to back out, but Project Maven...

    Wrestling veteran Vince Russo predicted that Triple H and other top WWE executives would depart the promotion within a year. Vince McMahon initially retired in 2022. However, he returned to the Stamford-based company in January 2023 as Executive Chairman. The 78-year-old recently resigned from his position and left the promotion amid being sued for sex trafficking by a former employee. Meanwhile, McMahon's son-in-law, Triple H, remains the Chief Content Officer. Speaking on The Brand podcast, Russo predicted that The Game and other former Vince McMahon associates would be let go from WWE within a year following the latter's departure: "I'm...

    We have our theory as to how we got here: The relative incompetence of the NFL refs combined with the league's sudden embracing of gambling has created skepticism about the legitimacy of game results. In other words, some NFL fans are now habitually accusing the league of "rigging" games - especially, of course, when that fan either loses by way of his team's failure, or loses a bet. And now comes the AFC Championship Game, with the selection of the officiating crew for the Kansas City Chiefs at Baltimore Ravens showdown ... and a respected NFL analyst floating the idea...

    TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A former WWE employee who claimed she received “hush money” from founder and longtime CEO Vince McMahon accused him of sexual abuse and trafficking. According to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday, Janel Grant, who worked at the company’s headquarters, alleged that McMahon sexually exploited her and attempted to traffic her to other WWE employees. The 67-page complaint details years of alleged abuse, largely at the hands of McMahon, 77, and the company’s former head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis.

    Masashi Ozawa, best known to WWE and pro wrestling fans as Killer Khan, has died at the age of 76. WWE announced Ozawa's passing Saturday and remembered him for his multiple stints with the company in the 1980s.

He memorably feuded with André the Giant in Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1980, which led to him signing a deal with WWE. Khan was instantly utilized as one of WWE's top villains, feuding with WWE champion Bob Backlund, intercontinental champion Pedro...

    Not all WWE jobbers were born into the role when they emerged from wrestling school. Sure, some like Frank Wiliams didn't have the look or mic skills to rise to the top. But he was still able to produce believable matches with top talent. Others like Tony Anthony and Tracy Smothers had long, distinguished careers before moving to New York. However, once those two entered the WWE machine, there was nothing for them to do besides put over the company's stars
