AEW superstar and former world champion Paul Wight recently joined DAZN for a conversation about WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart and how he wishes he could have had a match with the Hitman during his career.  Highlights from the interview can be found below. Oh, well, I think he’s pissed.  I think he’s absolutely pissed, but he’s pissed in a good way. He’s the type that likes competition. He likes that challenge. Vince [has] very much animal, jungle-type mentality. Vince is a guy that thrives on competition or thrives on doing new things, thrives on being the best in his mind at what he does,  so when you know competition steps up, that fires Vince up more than anything. Wight adds that the worst thing that could ever happen to Vince McMahon is for him to get bored. The worst thing that can happen to Vince McMahon is to be bored, monotonous, you know?  If he’s got competition, it fires him up to be better, which is a win for the fans because they’ll get a better product, and it’s good f

“This Novak Djokovic Is Beatable”: Serena Williams’ Former Coach on When US Open Champion Is Vulnerable

Image
Novak Djokovic continues to motor along virtually unchallenged even today. He added three Grand Slam titles to his kitty in 2023, reclaiming his World No.1 position. Doing all this at the age of 36 is no mean feat. Despite his achievements,  Serena Williams’ former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, believes Djokovic is more beatable now, especially if he follows a certain mentality. Mouratoglou is not the first coach to claim that Djokovic was more threatening some years ago than now. Recently, Toni Nadal echoed similar sentiments.  The French coach, however, commands a large following for his analysis, and his comments on Djokovic have piqued interest. Novak Djokovic beatable when he plays with negative mindset, says Mouratoglou Djokovic downed Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to win the 2023 US Open, his 24th Grand Slam title. This moved him to the top of the all-time list, level with Margaret Court.  Mouratoglou believed in Grand Slam finals, there are two possible versions of Djokovic.

Few, if any, wrestlers are as outright ridiculous as Hulk Hogan. Sure, the wrestling industry has so often been about bravado, about exaggeration, about how you present yourself, and perception being reality. But Hogan has taken that concept, and turned it was up to 11. In fact, scrap that, it's more like 111 in the case of the Hulkster.  While some of that bravado and exaggeration may see a wrestler add a few inches to their height, give their character some badass backstory, or just bend the truth with bold and brash claims, Hulk Hogan is a different beast entirely.   Some of the words and actions of Hulk are utterly outrageous, and not in a good way. Throughout his career, Terry Bollea has said and done things that have veered from insane, laughable lies, to disgusting, distasteful fabrications, and obviously to vile,  atrocious racist remarks. From solely a pro wrestling standpoint, Hulk Hogan is clearly one of - if not the - biggest stars in the history of the business. But

NEW YORK— As models glided down the rain-soaked runway wearing ethereal looks in Prabal Gurung's unique brand of timeless silhouettes at New York Fashion Week, guests holding up clear umbrellas sat transfixed as if they had become part of the performance.   Just before stepping onto the gold mylar-covered runway to take his bow after debuting his spring/summer 2024 collection on Sept. 8, Gurung bent down to touch the ground with his right hand, a ritual often followed by artists in India and Nepal in deference to their art, signaling humility and respect. "You know, no one's bigger than Mother Earth.  It grounds me immediately," says Gurung the following week as he sits in his showroom in Manhattan's Fashion District wearing a casual white cotton kurta and jeans. "That very act for me, keeps me grounded. Like, I'm not bigger than the ground I am walking on." Among guests cheering that day at Four Freedom's Park at the tip of Roosevelt Island wer
