The momentum used to shift in those days from one to another owing to greater competition and animosity between the two wrestling camps, Ted Turner’s WCW and Vince McMahon’s WWE. The Monday Nitro colliding heads on with Monday Night RAW was a great phenomenon. The shows used to be rawer in wrestling, great promos, and cutting-edge storylines. The wrestlers in those days were legends, on another level. The two wrestling houses tried everything to set the momentum towards them, whether it be grabbing the contracts, throwing wrestlers from cages, stinging them with a Taser or even declaring the results of other show’s pre-taped show (that backfired, though)....

Japan have won the Asian Cup crown 4 times before, and were the favorites to win it this time as well. However, Qatar put in a spirited display to win the trophy with consummate ease.

On the other hand, Qatar scored some wonderful goals to secure a memorable victory for themselves....

New England is not invincible, given it has split the previous six trips, including a home loss to Baltimore as more than a touchdown favorite five years ago. Jacksonville is a nine-point underdog in 2018, but it’s a team built mentally and physically to give the reigning champion a game. The Jaguars won’t be trying to out-scheme Belichick or fool Brady. Many of them are too young to care about the Patriots’ mystique and won’t come into the game intimidated....

With East Bengal and Mohun Bagan already plying their trade in the ever competitive Calcutta Football League, Bengaluru FC is set for much bigger strides to take before the domestic season as they lock horns with Turkmen side Altyn Asyr in the AFC Cup Interzone Semi-Final 1st Leg tie in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

The 2016-17 I-League champions have had a wretched debut continental campaign so far. They have lost all their three games and are out of the reckoning for a spot in the next round.

Sixteen-year-old Rohit Danu, the Indian Arrows striker, brings out the mother in all the other players. From a distance, he looks like a kid. When he comes closer, he looks more like a kid. And when he talks, you can figure out that he is actually a kid. “No. I am not a kid,” Danu shakes his head. Boris Singh, standing nearby, puts his hand on his shoulder. Danu smiles again....

If nothing else, this has caused a seismic shift in the pro wrestling landscape and put several people on notice. Unfortunately for WWE, they were one of the people put on notice by the emerging company and have now had to go on the defense. In fact, between WWE locking down any and all midcard card talent and doing focus groups to try to find out what fans want, it’s pretty obvious that WWE is scared....
