TNA is getting ripped by fans again over Leon Slater, this time after viewers using MyAEW were unable to watch his match at RevPro’s 14 Year Anniversary Show. While Slater was wrestling Liam Slater, MyAEW viewers were reportedly shown a lengthy video package instead—and fans immediately blamed TNA for blocking the match. Leon was the only TNA-contracted wrestler on the RevPro show on August 29, which made his match suddenly disappearing from the MyAEW broadcast stand out even more. Instead of Slater vs. Slater, viewers were given roughly 15 minutes of other RevPro content while the match took place. That…
Liverpool view Gakpo as a proven multi-functional Premier League attacker and he has shown that with a goal and an assist in their first two games this season.But all summer, the understanding has been that if the club bring in the attacking players they want, they would not stand in the way of Gakpo if a solid offer came in. Given how late in the transfer window the talks are taking place between Liverpool and Manchester City, the Anfield side will now consider the situation before sanctioning any move. Liverpool are also hoping to bring in another winger before deadline…
Mercedes Martinez was set to finish her in-ring career at the end of 2026. As fate would have it though, it is ending early due to a torn ACL. On Aug. 15 in a match against Allie Katch, Martinez’s knee gave out. “We are just about three-quarters of the way into this Last Run Tour, and about two weeks ago, I injured my knee in a match against Allie Katch for 2CW, August 15th. Two doctors later, an MRI later, the prognosis is torn ACL. For most, it’s probably not a career-ending injury but for me, it is. So I…

Liverpool’s first two games of the season have finished 2-2 despite Iraola’s side enjoying 60% of possession against Newcastle last week and 70% against Forest.In both games, they have found themselves trailing and are yet to be ahead in the Premier League this season.That has inevitably made things trickier for Isak, who was such a force in a counter-attacking Newcastle side. Against low blocks, the proposition is different.It is also symptomatic of a wider issue Iraola faces.Last season, his Bournemouth side won just four of the 19 Premier League games in which they had the majority of possession. They won…
