Work a handful of dates, wrestle just a couple of matches, make a random non-WWE appearance here and there throughout the year and get paid handsomely for doing so little. Doesn’t it seem like a dream job for a wrestler? Well, that’s the case with the Undertaker.

A veteran of 26 years in WWE and 32 years in the wrestling world, the Phenom has etched great memories in every wrestling fan’s mind....

With the success of All Out 2021, people have high hopes from AEW to produce an eventful show. Despite not getting significant time to build storylines, Tony Khan smartly lined up a match card, which is no less than pay-per-view worthy.

Daniel Bryan has found himself in the middle of a storyline where he is faced by his archrival The Miz on one side, and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt on the other. While we haven’t seen any direct links between The Miz and Wyatt yet, the company has been constantly building towards a storyline that could involve all three men collectively and give us some quality TV time.

There have been many others, from Bruno Sammartino to Hulk Hogan, to Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock. Each of these not-so-gentle men has been the go-to guy for the McMahon family, who’ve built their company around them. Roman Reigns was thought to be Vince McMahon’s golden boy, despite the fact that the WWE Universe did not take to him as they took to his predecessors before him. However, this seems to be changing with the passage of time because it just seems like Roman Reigns is no longer ’the guy'....

In fact, WWE seems to be incorporating certain parts of the Ruthless Aggression era, the Attitude Era, and the PG Era all into one big soup of thrilling content. The best part of all this is that it allows WWE to satisfy every demographic of their fanbase without outright catering to a specific group. The adults can get into the brutality aspect, teenagers can get into the relationship drama, and younger fans still have superheroes they can believe in....

Borussia Dortmund are understood to be keen on the 30-year-old’s services and are said to be readying a £10 million bid....

The problem with live TV is that any botch will be seen around the world. Titus O’Neil found this out at the Greatest Royal Rumble, as his spectacular fall under the ring during his entrance in the 50-man Royal Rumble, quickly went viral. Wrestlers know there is a chance they can get hurt in the ring, but they never expect to get to risk injury during their entrance. Sometimes these instances are more embarrassing for the superstar then anything else and given they perform in front of a live audience, there is no chance of a retake if they mess up....

But besides next year’s Patty Jenkins-directed Rogue Squadron, Lucasfilm seems to be heavily prioritizing TV as the chosen medium for future Star Wars projects, while leaving the series’ original medium of film in the dust.

Despite all the initial hype, the Sequel Trilogy proved to be a disappointing finale to the Skywalker Saga — here are just a few of its mistakes that future Star Wars films should learn from....

Over the years we’ve seen a number of well-known stars – mainly athletes from other sports – dabble in MMA, with varying degrees of success. The likes of Brock Lesnar (pro-wrestling) and Matt Mitrione (NFL) saw UFC success but others haven’t gotten close to reaching those kinds of heights – remember Jose Canseco’s ill-fated attempt to fight in DREAM? Those three fought on the highest stage, but here are 5 stars that you might not have realised dabbled in MMA....

Shortest ever Grand Slam final 1988 was Graf’s annus mirabilis, or the best year of her career. The German won every Grand Slam title that year and top prize at the Olympics in South Korea. But in a display of just how dominant she had been, she won a Grand Slam final with a double bagel. In what would go down in history as the most one-sided Grand Slam final of all time, Graf beat Natalia Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 in 32 minutes....

The main event of SummerSlam for the Universal Championship between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar ended up with the Architect winning the gold and beating the Beast Incarnate for the second time in as many matches.

The current roster may very well be the deepest pool of superstars in the company’s history. The WWE has five shows that feature championship belts, in addition to Main Event. There are so many superstars that many times, especially on the main roster, they get lost in the shuffle with no direction. Becoming a champion and getting a memorable title run is what every wrestler hopes to achieve someday. The WWE championship is the premiere belt, but if the storylines and character are there, even a mid-card reign will elevate your status to the elite....
