Logan Paul Emotional Confession ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

It was a gut-wrenching admission that peeled back the layers of bravado and revealed a side of Logan Paul not often seen.

During a raw episode of Impaulsive with WWE icon John Cena, the internet personality-turned-boxer and pro-wrestler opened up about a chapter of his life that cost him something far deeper than followers or brand deals. It was his connection with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the man he once called a hero.

Logan and The Rock were more than just two faces in the social media spotlight back in the mid-2010s. They collaborated on viral videos, contents that soared past 50 million views, leaving fans convinced a genuine bond was forming.

"Oakland was hella freaky." That's the tagline of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's California-hazy thriller Freaky Tales, a social-savvy anthology about 1987 Oakland—with a supernatural bent. The film loves to throw around the word "freaky," whether rap battles or wraparound narrations, but the film's problem is the overpromise of genre elements. Boden and Fleck tackle racism, Nazis, predatory law enforcement, and a host of other injustices throughout for stories connected by neon-green thunderbolts in the sky, but it's an exhaustingly flat marathon of inconsequentiality. Stories are desperately linear while genre elements make no sense in context, like a haphazard take on Tromaville that's somehow less sensical.

Freaky Tales is a story of punk rockers defending their concert venue, ice cream scoopers who dabble as verbal assassins, a debt collector pulled back into the business (Pedro Pascal), and NBA All-Star Sleepy Floyd (played by Jay Ellis). They're overlapping stories with interconnection spread like a web,...

Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Freaky Tales is an ode to 1987 Oakland rife with references to (and cameos by) various music and sports icons of the city’s underdog era. The film illustrates the eclecticism of Oakland via an anthology of four stories connected by little more than characters from each segment briefly occupying the same spaces as the narrative baton is handed off between teen punks, wannabe rappers, a thumb-breaking debt collector trying to go straight, and Golden State Warriors player Sleepy Floyd (Jay Ellis).

Nakedly wearing its cinematic influences on its sleeve, Freaky Tales suggests Pulp Fiction by way of Repo Man. In the first segment, “Strength in Numbers,” a trio of teenage punksters, high off of seeing The Lost Boys at the Grand Lake Theatre, go to the iconic all-ages music venue Gilman Street, where they catch a set from the punk band Operation Ivy. Throughout,...

Tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown has been a blast already, as the three big names—Roman Reigns, Cm Punk, and Seth Rollins—were in the ring together for the contract signing for their WrestleMania 41 Triple Threat Match. However, the segment was much more than a contract signing, as it unveiled Paul Heyman’s favor that he owed to the Second City Saint.

However, the match is going to reshape Punk’s legacy in Las Vegas as he officially gets to live his dream of main eventing the Show of Shows. The moment was a thunderous one, with the London crowd loving every bit of it, with the moment taking over a decade.

For 25 years, John Cena has entertained fans in the WWE. The 16-time WWE Champion is one of the most influential wrestlers in the company, with a fan following in the millions. Cena has touched the lives of WWE fans with his family-friendly appeal.

While Cena has displayed absolute power and determination in the squared ring, his educational qualifications make him a giant in the ring with a brain. The lesser-known side of Cena’s story has astonished fans and made them wonder if he is overqualified for the job that he has done in WWE for so many years.

While there are superstars in the WWE with all sorts of privilege, perhaps none has the immunity that Baron Corbin had. The former WWE superstar has not hidden his rage against certain superstars even after his run in the WWE has ended.

The latest who got caught in the middle of a furious rant from Corbin is the YouTuber-turned-wwe wrestler Logan Paul. WWE Head of Content Triple H has well protected the former United States Champion in the company. However, not everyone is particularly happy with the kind of differential treatment and the rise in rank Paul has received in the WWE.

Over the years, John Cena has undergone massive personality changes. From the Doctor of Thuganomics to Heel Cena, each persona brings something fresh to the ring.

One can cut the best promo of their wrestling career, but one ‘Fine speech’ from Cena and it’s all over for them. Something similar happened during a segment of Monday Night Raw when the Face That Runs the Place made his return. However, his moment was cut short, when the then-us Champion, Austin Theory, challenged him to a match at WrestleMania.

John Cena has always been potrayed as a larger-than-life superhero character in WWE for more than two decades. The Cenation Leader was a hero to millions and an inspiration who encouraged fans never to give up on their dreams. But he had another side to him in his personal life.

The fans got to witness Cena’s personal life and way of living when was featured on the reality TV series, Total Divas, and then Total Bellas. This came as Cena was in a relationship with the one of the members of the cast, Nikki Bella at the time.

When we think of the ultimate babyface in WWE history, the only name that pops right up in our mind is John Cena. With a career that spans over two decades, Cena has always been a fan favorite for his righteous morals and principles of “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect” and “Never Give Up.” Many fans consider him the Goku of wrestling. However, for every Kakarot, there’s a Vegeta who has helped him push past his limits.

Here, Cena broke past his limits when the Legend Killer, Randy Orton, shared the squared circle. With a carefully woven narrative that made every wrestling enthusiast tune in to World Wrestling Entertainment during the 2007s. With Cena now being a heel, a new fan theory has been circulating the internet, where it is heavily believed that Orton will aid his old pal to get a happy ending.

This week's Monday Night Rawwas one for the books, gifting fans plenty of juicy surprises, twists, and returns in what was easily the biggest night for WWE's flagship show since Raw's Netflix premiere on January 6, 2025. Whether it be the much-anticipated Steel Cage Match between Seth "Freakin" RollinsandCM Punk, or WWE World Champion Cody Rhodes calling out WrestleMania opponent, the face-turned-heel John Cena, the night was packed with plenty of thrilling action and spectacle for fans to feast their eyes upon.

Even though real-life villain Vince McMahon was forced out of the WWE, and under disreputable circumstances, in January of 2024, in terms of the on-screen story, most will tell you the end of the McMahon era creatively was April 7, 2024. That was the day that Roman Reigns’s legendarily tyrannical run as Undisputed Champion came to a righteous end at Wrestlemania 40, at the hands of “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.

It’s now been a year since the WWE has been fully under Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s stewardship, and that time has been marked by dizzying highs, terrifying lows, creamy middles, and more. And once again, 2K’s annual WWE-branded sports release is meant to encapsulate the broad spectrum of professional wrestling promotion at the moment of the game’s development cycle, which appears to target somewhere around fall of 2024.

Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest and most feared names in the world of professional wrestling. The Beast Incarnate has carved a highly accomplished career in the combat sports world, winning multiple championships and accolades to cement his legacy.

Furthermore, Lesnar is also known to inflict damage on any man who stands across from him. Some prime examples have been Randy Orton, who was busted open by Brock during their SummerSlam match, and when Lesnar manhandled John Cena and took him to Suplex City. These instances have been a small display of his raw power and strength.

At one time, Brock Lesnar also assaulted then-wwe Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon on WWE television programming. McMahon legitimately suffered an injury, with many believing it to have been caused by Lesnar. However, years after McMahon was let go from WWE, the truth regarding the incident came to light.

If phenomenal is a word, then Aj Styles is a living embodiment of it. With an iconic theme song, hard-hitting moves, and a showstopper finisher, Styles made a name for himself wherever he went.

Since then, he has been making a name for himself, as he battled some of the greats of the sport like John Cena, The Undertaker, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, and so many more.

Veteran Japanese actor Yakusho Koji will be feted with the prestigious lifetime achievement honor at the 18th Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong. Yakusho, who won best actor at Cannes in 2023 for Wim Wenders‘ “Perfect Days,” becomes the third Japanese recipient of the Afa’s highest accolade, following director Yamada Yoji (2008) and actress Kiki Kirin (2016).

A former civil servant who first ventured into Taiga drama (long-running TV series broadcast by Nhk), then played in several films by Kurosawa Akira, Yakusho became a major 1990s star in Asia as a result of “Shall We Dance?,” in which he portrayed a ball room dancer, and “Lost Paradise.” He also starred in Itami Juzo’s “Tampopo.”

In the sports entertainment industry, Vince McMahon has been seen as a ruthless businessman who will do everything that is “best for business.” This trait has helped him to make WWE a global brand, where fans would tune in each week to watch the emotionally gripping fictional storyline that pushes the limits of sports entertainment.

Disappointingly, in the process, he has severed the relationship with people close to him and released some of the biggest and greatest talents that have ever stepped foot in the ring. Therefore, the members of the locker room must do everything in their power to maintain Mr. McMahon’s favor; otherwise, dire repercussions will follow.

Dave Bautista is one of those unfortunate members who learned this the hard way, recalling an incident in which he was fined a large sum for compromising World Wrestling Entertainment’s PG Era.

Aj Lee has been one of the most phenomenal WWE wrestlers, crucial in the development of the Divas’ locker room back in the day. Though retired and now a writer, fans are always excited to watch her make her in-ring return and once again make vicious promos, which left the WWE Universe highly entertained back in the day.

The Motion Picture Sound Editors’ 72nd Golden Reel Awards were handed out Sunday night at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles.

“We are all practitioners of this invisible art of sound. Sound isn’t seen or touched, and as a result, our craft is often overlooked. But we know sound is both physical and metaphysical, and we love playing between the realms of sound’s physical properties and the emotional impact it can have on an audience,” Mpse President David Barber said at the ceremony, emphasizing the importance of below-the-line recognition. “That’s not to say that people don’t, can’t, or won’t [champion] sound, but if they’re not aware of what we do, how can we expect them to appreciate it?...

From tailoring personalized outfits to unique entrances, professional wrestlers would do everything to stand out from the sea of faces that leave a lasting impression on the viewers. While charisma and gimmicks are important, the wrestler’s finishing move defines if the crowd is going to love or hate them. From a simple Big Boot to the face to a Choke Slam, every WWE wrestler has their own visually varied finisher.

Strahan’s co-star, Sam Champion, stopped the couple on the street and asked them to come into GMA’s studio because they needed extra people for their audience.

From there, the groom proposed to his bride-to-be in front of a Valentine’s Day backdrop, and after she agreed to marry, Sam whisked them away to prepare for their big ceremony.

Many of you will no doubt recall the near-endless list of actors we saw suggested for Marvel's First Family in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. An official announcement was finally made but the rumours...well, they became a little exhausting.

Did John Cena cry while talking about Edge’s legacy? ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

In a heartfelt WWE video from June 6, 2023, the 16-time champ fought back tears while paying tribute to his longtime rival, Edge (Adam Copeland), calling him a “good human being” who truly lives for sports entertainment. The raw emotion hit hard—fans felt it, the internet ran with it, and just like that, one of wrestling’s greatest feuds came rushing back.

Cena and Edge’s rivalry began in 2006, a fiery clash of charisma and grit. Their first singles match saw Edge triumph, sparking a decade of brutal battles—steel chairs, title shots, and crowd-roaring promos. Yet behind the scripted chaos, mutual respect brewed. “He’s given so much to you guys,” Cena said in the video, his voice trembling, “and I also think he’s aware of what you’ve given him.”

The tribute wasn’t just about rivalry.

When the 2022 Oscars rolled in, little did we know that we were going to witness one of the biggest controversies of the entertainment industry live. After a joke didn’t land how Chris Rock intended it to, Will Smith stormed the stage and smacked the comedian right across his face. For a moment, there was stunned silence around the world as fans wondered if this was a part of Chris Rock’s stage. But when Will Smith walked back down and yelled at him, we realized that it was very much not!

John Cena, Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Cm Punk, and WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, 2025's Royal Rumble is guaranteed to be an exciting night for wrestling fans. The first major Ple of 2025 also marks the kickoff of "The Road to WrestleMania", which will culminate in WWE's biggest weekend of the year in April with WrestleMania 41.

WWE’s current landscape has some of the most remarkable and talented in-ring competitors in the world. These superstars often share glimpses of their lives behind the scenes, even during their time in the WWE locker room when they are not competing.

A similar instance took place that recently featured Raw superstar Logan Paul and current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton from SmackDown. The Maverick has been credited as one of the biggest social media influencers, a successful entrepreneur, and a highly talented in-ring competitor in WWE.

The original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, also known as Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters, is packed with memorable duelists, but being a fun character doesn't make someone a great duelist. Many characters fail to ever win a single duel on-screen, even those who are supposedly meant to be extraordinarily talented. This mainly comes down to one of the three protagonists participating in nearly every duel, and this trio being composed of the world's greatest duelists.

Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, and Seto Kaiba all win many duels throughout the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, and its finale movie, The Dark Side of Dimensions. However, one of them scores victories far more often than the other two, and even the other two aren't equal in the slightest. Some of this comes down to skill and/or luck, but other times it seems as if the series' world is simply playing favorites.

Ahead of the premiere of “Monday Night Raw” on Netflix, WWE has unveiled the new cold open that will air at the beginning of the show.

The video is narrated by WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque and delves into the history and rise of professional wrestling and its parallels with the history and rise of television.

“As television changed, so did wrestling,” Levesque says. “And together, they changed America.

That said, whatever their differences might amount to during this initial encounter, the synopsis also informs readers that, in typical superhero-team face-off fashion, the two versions of the Champions will be brought together to fight a common enemy.
