It’s quite interesting that Austin would like to take on The Beast Incarnate in the ring, taking into account what happened 20 years ago. Let’s take a trip back to 2002 when WWE was trying to build new stars to replace the old guard. Shortly before the June 10, 2002 episode of WWE RAW, Austin walked out on WWE and Vince McMahon. The reason? The Rattlesnake was scheduled to face then-rookie Brock Lesnar in a King of the Ring qualifying match that night....

I always wondered: What if there was a clue or a line at the beginning we missed? The details surrounding my birth are sparse. I was born a month early. My mother’s doctor was in the Caribbean. It was a Sunday. My father was off to play his customary round of golf even after my mother told him the baby was coming. He countered her remark with: “What do you know about babies Elizabeth?...

I paused for a moment, considering how best to answer her question because, to be honest, I didn’t know at the time. And I still don’t know. For, in less than a year, Keith LaMar is scheduled to be executed. Mr. Keith, as my high school students refer to him, is a Black man who has been sentenced to death in the state of Ohio, having spent nearly 30 years in solitary confinement....

The Croatia international saw questions asked of his role in Luis Enrique’s long-term plans after being dropped for a trip to Villarreal in January. He had already been heavily linked with a move away from Camp Nou prior to that, having been moved to the bench, but his absence in the middle of a window only served to fan the transfer flames. Rakitic to snub City and stay at Barca...

The often-outspoken but extremely talented wide receiver, who had played his whole professional career with the Dallas Cowboys, finally signed with the New Orleans Saints this past week. But on the last play of practice Friday, he reportedly suffered a torn Achilles. IYER: These Saints are the most complete team of Drew Brees era Soon after, Bryant tweeted a message of determination, writing that the injury “is the ultimate test....

On May 7th, one month before Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather’s highly anticipated boxing match, Jake Paul caused chaos at a press event. While Logan and Floyd were visibly arguing inside the stadium, Jake tried to show his support for his brother by sharing a few of his thoughts on Floyd as well. However, things went south when Jake suddenly grabbed Mayweather’s white hat and ran away, creating the infamous new meme, “Gotcha Hat!...

“You’re in your room, in my house.” We’ve been having this conversation every fifteen minutes, every day, for the last year and a half. My 98-year-old mother, Angelina, was once one of those women people describe as a force of nature. A single, working mother before it was a thing, she was like the Mad Men’s Helen Bishop, both envied and scorned by the Betty Drapers of my Bronx neighborhood....

In a press release obtained by Newsweek, the streaming service listed the upcoming guests for the series. All episodes will be released at once, as opposed to one at a time as they were for the previous two seasons. The third season will surely be interesting. Even though there will be less episodes than prior seasons, the guests are still incredibly exciting. Letterman will talk to Grammy Award-winning singer Lizzo, actor and Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr....

Now in a freewheeling interview with German media outlet Zeit, Federer has spoken about his early tennis days, his rivalry with Rafael Nadal and his desire to keep playing the sport. Roger Federer said at first that his parents invested a lot on his early tennis training, but were not convinced that he would make the best use of the opportunity. The 20-time Grand Slam champion said that at 16, he had to take a decision between continuing school or focusing full-time on tennis....

My son Shane, whom I had put on a plane bound for Chicago 10 hours earlier, had been shot and killed. All within hours of arriving in the city where he would be living and studying while pursuing his Ph.D. at Northwestern University. In an instant, my entire world was turned upside down. Up until the day of Shane’s death, guns had just been another thing reported on the news—something that always happened to somebody else....

MineCon takes place November 18th and 19th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tickets are still currently available, at $139.99 a pop, but for die-hard Minecraft fans this is the event of the year. Included with a chance to sit in on classes on your favorite Minecraft subjects and join a couple different parties, MineCon is the best place to get together with likeminded gamers and share a Minecraft experience.

President Donald Trump and his Republican allies baselessly claim that Biden won through widespread voter fraud. They have not provided evidence to back this extraordinary claim, and well over 50 lawsuits brought by the president and his allies have failed in state and federal courts. Trump’s former Attorney General William Barr, who was widely seen as one of the president’s most loyal and effective cabinet members until he resigned in December, asserted before leaving office that there is “no evidence” of fraud that would change the outcome of the election....

In the opener, the Texans travel over the Bayou to face Drew Brees and the Saints, who are out to prove they should have been in last year’s Super Bowl. The night cap is a divisional confrontation with Denver visiting Oakland, as both teams celebrate their 60th season as franchises in the NFL’s 100 years of doing business. Here is a betting breakdown of both contests. MORE: Get the latest NFL odds at Sportsbook Review...

“It was the greatest concentration of paparazzi in New York City history,” says Trump, never shy about pulling the trigger on a superlative assessment of his latest achievement. “Robin Leach told me only the Academy Awards was equal.” The paparazzi were there, all right, but they probably had plenty of leftover film. About a third of the 1,500 invitees found something better to do. One leading New York publisher lamented the absence of “the right people....

I recently had the opportunity to engage with Chris Weisiger, founder of TMA Games, regarding Waves of Steel. He spoke at length about the developmental journey, inspiration, future, and more of the title. Chris Weisiger talks about Waves of Steel’s world and how it came to be Q: As an introduction, will you please share a little about what Waves of Steel is for our readers? Chris: I like to describe Waves of Steel as being a game for people who like warships, but wish they could do a kickflip....

We got the chance to sit down and speak to the cast of Legacy at San Diego Comic Con 2013, and the one thing they all agreed would be a big hit with fans come Season 2 has been a long time coming: violence on par with that doled out in the game itself. Specifically, the now-legendary Fatalities. Once (and arguably, still) the prime example for those who claim video games glorify violence and bloodshed, the Mortal Kombat name has become as synonymous with ‘campiness’ as it has with fighting gameplay....

After Jason, NetherRealm has at least three additional DLC fighters prepared for Mortal Kombat X, including fan favorites Tanya and Tremor. They also have Predator waiting in the wings, ready to overthrow Jason as the reigning guest character of choice. But beyond that NetherRealm has not said much. One can hope that the Mortal Kombat X developer has more planned for players, but they have not made those aspirations clear....

And these are just the characters from the base game. Mortal Kombat X will also get plenty of downloadable content too, with new skins and characters being offered. There are four DLC packs in total and some of the content includes Predator and Jason Voorhees (from the Friday the 13th series) as playable characters and horror and Predator-themed skins. While new fans and returning Mortal Kombat players will be able to find a reason to buy the DLC, developer NetherRealm Studios wants to draw even more people in....

[HTML1] Forget the slew of roster reveals, the leaked cinematic cutscenes, and the gloriously disgusting fatalities. Want to get really pumped for Mortal Kombat X? This will do it. A few days ago, developer NetherRealm Studios and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive unleashed a live-action commercial for the impending fighter, showing every-day people gathering together to form a bloodthirsty hoard that swarmed city streets due to the utterance of a single word: “Fight....
