There’s a new development—actually several—in the death of Gabby Petito at the hands of Brian Laundrie in late August 2021.

Two Travis Scott fans have gotten some cool memorabilia from Cactus Jack himself: his sneakers. Oh, and these aren’t just shoes that the “Pick Up the Phone” just handed off, these were the kicks off his feet. Travis Scott Gifts 2 Fans the Jordan 1s Off His Feet Before Driving Off The two were part of a crowd of fans waiting for Travis outside of TAO for pictures and/or autographs. Nothing out of the ordinary. The Houston artist decided to at least greet his fans by rolling down the window of his car and handing off a pair of his Jordan…
WWE IMPACT Wrestling and AEW Superstars Are Weighing in on Roe v. Wade Being Overturned on Social Media
On June 24, 2022, the U.S Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a 1973 landmark decision that legalized abortion in the United States. Social media is abuzz with people from both sides of the issue. The pro-life side is celebrating and some even attempt to explain that the procedure wasn’t banned while the pro-choice side is up in arms over it because of both the very likely and more extreme repercussions of overturning the decision. WWE IMPACT Wrestling and AEW Superstars Are Weighing in on Roe v. Wade Being Overturned on Social Media On Twitter, several wrestlers have voiced their…
Remember when wrestling themes slapped in great number? During the Attitude Era, you could find a dope wrestling theme in any part of the WWE roster—and find a couple of them. Over time, the themes became same-y but during the Ruthless Aggression Era, there was still a good number of bangers. Let’s look at the five best themes from the era starting at five! Muhammad Hassan – Arab Americans This theme rides, folks. For the pairing of Hassan and Daivari, this theme simply worked. They would come out, run down Americans for being racist towards Arab Americans, and did so…

The 90s Royal Rumble shows are some of my favorites to look at because it’s not a brick of show with nine or ten matches. Since the featured match requires so much time, WWE kept the undercard small but often sprinkled in a few bangers here and there. Royal Rumble 1999 is no different and we’re diving into it! This edition of WWE Royal Rumble took place on January 24, 1999, in Anaheim, CA. While the Rumble is the featured main event, there’s a legendary WWE Championship match between The Rock and Mankind as well. The Best This is a…
We’re finally back with “Into the Vault” and it’s the end of a decade! Let’s kick things off with WCW Souled Out 1999 from Charleston, West Virginia as Goldberg takes on Scott Hall in a stun gun ladder match. Remember, Kevin Nash won the World Championship at Starrcade 1998 the month prior thanks to Scott Hall using a stun gun on Goldberg. Now it’s time for a measure of revenge! The Best You’ll probably only see the name “Mike Enos” once in “The Best” pile in “Into the Vault.” That isn’t because Enos is a bad wrestler, it’s because Enos…

Something I’ve been thinking about in regards to the Ric Flair retirement match is: Why not do it later in the year? Flair debuted in December 1972 as Rice Lake—a great decision to keep trying new names. Rice Lake sounds like someone who gets clapped in matches where the commentators just talk about upcoming events instead of the action. Should Ric Flair Have Scheduled His Retirement Match in December to Make It 50 Years? In December, he would’ve been in the business for 50 years. That’s a huge career milestone. Also, it doesn’t mean that this is it for Flair…
While reviewing WCW Souled Out 1999 for our returning “Into the Vault” series, there was this one thing in the match of the night that really irked me and others. For those who haven’t seen that PPV, the fatal four-way for the Cruiserweight title is the main wrestling match you need to see. The match had this weird rule that threw off the pace and action of the match quite a bit. It’s something that seemed out of place for this kind of match: tagging in. Tagging Into Certain Matches Was a Random Match Flaw in WCW and TNA So,…
