If only there was a wrestler who could lead the same effort that Cung Le did against UFC/Zuffa.

In any case, this is fucked, even by WWE standards.

This announcer for Panthers-Dolphins has me ready to run through a wall. He must really enjoy not having to call a Hornets game for once

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

Tim Marchman @timmarchman.bsky.social · 15d

Barry Bonds was thrown precisely 149 strikes in 2002 and connected with every single one of them for either a base hit or a home run.

Mustafa Ali wants a shot at the NXT North American Championship because he earned a shot at No Mercy 2023, but he was released before then.
