Hideo Itami Was Doomed Before He Began

Back in early 2014, when the WWE signed Japanese pro wrestler KENTA, it was a huge deal. He was one of the biggest stars in Japan and an in-ring wizard. It was also a sign of things to come for WWE’s NXT developmental brand.

Kevin Steen, El Generico, Prince Devitt and KENTA were early coups for the NXT brand. Those four performers were supposed to be the foundation for bringing the NXT brand up to the level of Ring of Honor and other upper indies. Three of the four performers met or exceeded expectations, but KENTA never really even stood a chance to succeed.

KENTA is an innovative wrestler. He invented and popularized many moves that other wrestlers imitated, which is one of the many reasons for his short-lived WWE career.

Super Bowl 53 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the vig isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular (and the most absurd) prop bets for Super Bowl 53 (or Super Bowl LIII for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2019 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-5 against the spread and with my over/under picks last week. I whiffed against the spread, but made up for it with my over/under picks.

This might be the most evenly-matched Conference Championship slate of games in NFL history. Both games are -3 for the home team, which means that on a neutral field, both games should probably be pick’em. Also, both games are rematches of barn-burning thrillers from this season.

Can the Saints get QB Drew Brees to his second Super Bowl of his career?

Can the Patriots force Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes into making mistakes?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread and over/under point totals.

2019 NFL Divisional Round Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-2-1 against the spread and with my over/under picks last week.

All four games this weekend should be fun to watch, something that has become uncommon the last few years with injuries severely depleting playoff teams. The only backup quarterback playing this week is Eagles QB Nick Foles, who led them to a Super Bowl win last year.

Should the Patriots be an underdog at home against the Chargers?

Can the Colts knockout the Chiefs from the playoffs again?

We pick every NFL Divisional Round Playoff games against the spread.

Top 10 Wrestlers Who Have Been Found to Use Steroids

Steroids have strict regulations depending on the country or the sport in which athletes are engaged. For today, let’s talk about the popular sport of wrestling. As people discuss this activity, the topic of steroids has to come up especially when discussing the physique and strength of the gigantic wrestlers. According to the rules and regulations of these wrestling organizations, the wrestlers should be free from the use of certain steroids that give them advantages over wrestlers who do not use steroids.

But truth be told, some wrestlers have been tempted to use these steroids, and some of them have been caught and punished. The anti-doping agencies have their eyes wide open looking for signs and clues of steroid use. To prove to you that steroid use is real, here are ten wrestlers who have tested positive for steroid use.

Saving up for a dream vacation or paying off those holiday credit card debts can be a challenge. If you were to look up money saving tips online, every article will throw the word “budget” at you.

Budget building requires an awareness of your weekly (or bi-weekly) income and how it is being spent. Once you’ve settled that, you can start planning for your financial goals. Here are four tips for preparing a weekly budget.

2019 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished the year 133-111-12 against the spread during the NFL regular season.

Since there aren’t many games in the playoffs, I also pick over/under point totals as well.

These four games are pretty close, so we aren’t seeing any double-digit point spreads like we’ve seen the last few Wild Card Weekends.

Can the Eagles pull off the upset and make another improbable Super Bowl run?

We pick every NFL Wild Card Weekend game against the spread.

UFC Should End ‘Champion vs Champion’ Fights

The UFC is in dire need of marquee fights. They’ve stooped to the level of putting champions from different weight classes in fights, which can lead to a fighter carrying two different titles at the same time. This reduces the amount of title fights they can put together to headline shows. The whole deal is counter-productive in the long-term.

This all started when Conor McGregor faced Jose Aldo on UFC 194 in late-2015. McGregor won that fight and held both the Featherweight and Lightweight titles at the same time. Conor held onto both of those titles for some time, which muddied up both divisions for over a year. UFC President (and current matchmaker) Dana White had to make fights for interim titles at those weights.

Is Trump Hurting Future Non-Traditional Candidates?

Some say that he ignited his candidacy when Obama made fun of him at a White House dinner, but regardless of his motivations, Trump made a run for it and won the presidency. Political pundits dismissed his candidacy, but he defied all odds (or so it seems) to secure the toughest job in the world.

The trump’s bid was fueled by anti-establishment rhetoric. To the people who rallied behind him, he was the candidate who presented concrete solutions to real-world problems devoid of the inhibitions that traditional candidates seem to harbor.

Trump made traditional candidacy, embodied by Clinton, look so out of touch with everyday problems like illegal immigration and high unemployment rates that people were willing to overlook his gaping flaws to elevate him to the presidency. His methods, however, may make it tougher for another non-traditional candidate to make it to the White House for the following reasons:
