Drew McIntyre won the WWE Championship for the first time in 2020 despite failing to win any of his eight pay-per-view matches in 2019.

Russo, WWE’s head writer in the late 1990s, often speaks on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing With Russo about WWE’s 50-50 booking logic. In the latest episode, he told Dr....

Australian Open doubles champion Roberta Vinci cruised through the opening singles round at the Paris Open on Tuesday as she brushed aside Romania’s Simona Halep 6-0, 6-3. Vinci, who sealed her third Grand Slam doubles crown alongside partner and fellow Italian Sara Errani in Melbourne last Friday, powered past a hapless Halep in just 52 minutes to set up a second-round match with Germany’s Mona Barthel. Earlier, French teenager Kristina Mladenovic claimed the biggest scalp of her fledgling career as she knocked out world number 19 Julia Goerges of Germany in the first round....

In a recent clip uploaded to YouTube, user Cycu1 has shown just how realistically something like a dense forest can be rendered in Unreal Engine 5. The video begins by showing a thick area of trees, along with a number of spherical and a cube objects made of different materials. Moving about the environment really demonstrates the power of UE5, with its true-to-life lighting effects, detailed flora, and the fact that branches and small plants bend when the character moves through them....

OK, that’s exaggerating—but only a little. Where parents see hours wasted in front of a screen, these scientists see potential. An FAS study released this week, titled “Harnessing the power of video games for learning,” reports that best-selling games are built in surprisingly pedagogical ways. Players improve at their own pace. Beating a level requires experimentation, failure and learning from mistakes. Most new games can be played online, requiring collaboration and leadership....

Recently we reviewed the BenQ TK800, and now we’re looking at the very similarly specified ViewSonic PX747-4K. On paper this alternative is cheaper and brighter, but how does it comparing in other respects? ViewSonic PX747-4K: Price That’s a good bit less than the BenQ TK800, and about the same price as the new Optoma UHD300X and the previous ViewSonic PX727-4K that all use the same Texas Instruments XPR technology....

The result leaves them eight points clear with eight games to play, although they host second-placed Atletico Madrid on Saturday in a potential title decider. Despite some suspect defending in a second-half goalfest, Barca recovered a two-goal deficit late on: meaning naturally Suarez and talisman Messi will be showered with plaudits for their late heroics. After all, they have only lost twice in 2019 to date - both Copa del Rey first leg fixtures - while their last league defeat was a surprise 4-3 loss against Real Betis in November....

KKR, who chose not to retain their two-time IPL winning skipper Gautam Gambhir, have handed the baton to Karthik who has big shoes to fill and will have veteran Robin Uthappa as his deputy. “He did not lead many matches for Tamil Nadu does not mean he’s not a good leader. He’s a very good leader, hopefully he will do well. We have many seniors, have to help each other,” Vinay Kumar, a former Karnataka skipper, said....

Another way the WWE reciprocates appreciation is its deference to members of the US Armed Forces. Personnel are entitled to free tickets to WWE Live Events and the camera always swings on a cluster of its faithful fans in uniform during televisation. The WWE also goes the extra mile and gives the brave men and women of the armed forces a chance to interact with their favourite Superstars and they did just that last week....

As the ruler of the wrestling industry for over 40 years, Vince had an intimidating aura around him that may have unnerved many of the people he worked with.

On July 22 2022, Vince shocked the wrestling world as he announced that he has retired from the business, seemingly forever....

He told Chioda to make Angle stop, but the Olympic medallist was deaf in one ear and couldn’t hear the referee....

Last Monday, Drew McIntyre took on T-Bar and Mace in a handicap match. While The Scottish Warrior gave everything he had, the two big men seemed to be an equal match for the former WWE Champion. The match ended in a disqualification, with T-Bar and Mace continuing to assault McIntyre after the bell, before Braun Strowman came to the rescue. The match restarted with Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman teaming up to take on T-Bar and Mace....

In the video, which was posted by TikTok user Hisham Hasan @hishamhasan3, dozens of PS5s are stacked on shelves that rise to the ceiling. The layered text in the video states, “This why ya’ll don’t have the PS5 because Walmart is hoarding all of them.” Once the video was posted, a number of TikTokers voiced their disapproval about the game consoles sitting dormant inside of the warehouse. TikTok user @chrispatrick said, “I work for a Walmart distribution center too and it’s the same there....
