Before the show takes place obviously the right matches need to be set up with the right angles. Despite some of the angles that have taken place already like the Ronda Rousey angle where she basically called wrestling fake and that every match doesn’t matter because it’s fake it is still possible that a good build for that and other matches could happen. We haven’t had a great WrestleMania since 31 which itself didn’t have the best build and maybe had one of the worst builds in history but turned out to be an amazing show....

WWE is all set to deliver the 35th edition of the longest running PPV in its history, WrestleMania, live from the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on 7th April 2019. This year’s WrestleMania has been very mysterious both in terms of match results as well as the whole match card as well. With this being rumored as the longest PPV in WWE history, a lot of matches and segments can be added to the already stacked card....

In a surprising turn of events, The American Nightmare and AEW President Tony Khan failed to reach an agreement, which led to the former parting ways with the promotion he helped build. Before his exit, the 36-year-old star and his wife were featured heavily in the flagship programming. Cody was performing entirely on a handshake deal, with his last match coming off against Sammy Guevara for the Undisputed TNT title....

In an opinion piece titled “Trump’s Challenge Is Over,” the board said after the president lost the Supreme Court, “he has no legal alternatives and ought to concede.” On Friday, the Supreme Court denied the lawsuit filed by Texas attorney general Ken Paxton against four battleground states—Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin—with the goal of overturning the election outcome. Before the Supreme Court denied the case, Trump requested to join the lawsuit and over 100 Republicans in the House of Representatives signed a brief in support of the litigation....

The former Australian left-arm wrist spinner feels that although Cheteshwar Pujara’s low strike-rate was effective against Australia Down Under, the ball will keep on swinging in England for a longer period of time. Brad Hogg wants Pujara to be more proactive while batting in these tough conditions. In a video on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg explained how the batsmen at the other end might feel the pressure if Cheteshwar Pujara is unable to bat with freedom....

Del Rio is a masterful in-ring performer. The intensity of his kicks, his heelish attitude while wrestling and his ability to bring out the best matches with almost everyone makes him a special wrestler inside the ring. Del Rio was born to be a heel. He has the aura around him to generate heat that is both kayfabe and legitimate. His run as a babyface clearly showed that he struggled to connect with the crowd....

It’s a really nothing-happening period for wrestling right now, as it has been for the past three months or so, and that’s a really bad sign with Wrestlemania season just around the corner. A reader sums up the thoughts of many with an e-mail the other day: Hey, Scott. Love the blog and books. We IWC people bitch about the product pretty consistently, but is it fair to say that 2014’s weekly WWE TV product after Wrestlemania was the worst it’s been since ‘94 or so?...

Last week, John Cena made a return and had a face-to-face with “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt in a segment that was amplified by the lack of an audience. Tonight, Goldberg and Roman Reigns will come face-to-face for their contract signing. Will we get something similar to when The Undertaker showed up on Monday Night RAW or will both masters of the spear get in the ring? WrestleMania 36 will be a two-night event this year with both being hosted by former New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski....

Cleveland’s rotation the rest of the way also includes short-rest starts for Trevor Bauer in Game 5 and Game 3 starter Josh Tomlin in Game 6, if necessary. There are other options, such as piggy-backing ALCS hero Ryan Merritt with just-back-from-injury Danny Salazar in Game 5 and letting Bauer start with five days’ rest if there’s a Game 6, but manager Terry Francona hasn’t hinted at a change in plans....

During a 23-game stretch in July and August, Kipnis hit .340/.398/.702 with eight homers. In a 12-game skid in August, he hit .191/.204/.255 and didn’t go deep at all. The entire season was like that, really, a series of ups and downs that wound up more up than down — a .275/.343/.469 line with 23 home runs — because the two-time All-Star is a really good hitter.

After the weekend’s action, the Pittsburgh Pirates (14-to-1) and San Francisco Giants (14-to-1) own a 4.5-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers (300-to-1) in the National League wild-card race, appearing to be safe bets to punch the final two postseason tickets in the senior circuit. Things are not nearly as comfortable in American League. The Oakland A’s (10-to-1) and Kansas City Royals (14-to-1) occupy the top two spots in the AL wild-card race, but the Seattle Mariners (18-to-1) are only 1....

Led by a pitching staff with the second best ERA (3.12) in baseball, the Nats have built a seven-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves (30-to-1) in the National League East. That division lead may appear safe, but they have six more contests against the Braves, a team they are only 4-9 against in 2014 that features a lineup that has ace Stephen Strasburg’s number (8.22 ERA, .338 BAA) this season....

According to the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP), every year suicide is among the top 20 leading causes of death globally. It is responsible for over 800,000 deaths, which equates to one suicide every 40 seconds. In America, it was the 10th leading cause of death, with over 47,000 people dying by suicide in 2017, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). IASP estimates that for every person that dies by suicide, 135 people suffer “intense grief or are otherwise affected....

Team India have already named their playing XI for the WTC final. They went in with a combination of three pacers and two spinners. Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have found a place in the team while India have gone for Ishant Sharma’s experience over Mohammed Siraj’s form. New Zealand haven’t announced their playing XI for the WTC final as yet. However, with a more or less settled unit, the only tussle could be for a bowling spot between Neil Wagner and Ajaz Patel....
