WWE needed a babyface team to feud with ?Cesaro and Tyson Kidd, but the majority of the teams are heel. Thus the Lucha Dragons have been pushed sooner than planned. Jimmy Uso will likely still do some stuff with Naomi. It’s believed that AJ Lee was originally supposed to be in the position of turning on Paige, but since she has retired Naomi was given the spot. This means either WWE had these plans ready for a long time, or Lee’s retirement was a spur of the moment decision....

The need to decide which holiday this film belongs to could be attributed to a few things. One reason could be that Halloween and Christmas are so different. While Halloween celebrates everything spooky and macabre, Christmas is generally a very pure holiday season that focuses on love and family. Another reason could be simply because people want to coordinate their watch schedules. Halloween and Christmas are both busy times, and most people have movie favorites they want to be able to watch around the time of the holiday....

Previous installments in the Kingdom Hearts series would have re-releases that boasted new content, like new enemies, bosses, and keyblades. These came in the form of Final Mix versions of the game as opposed to DLC released to be added to the base game, meaning players who wanted the new content had to buy a new game. RELATED: Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind teases New Character This change in how additional content is added to the game from Final Mix to DLC is entirely due to the system restraints of the time as well as the proliferation of DLC in modern gaming....

In the speech, I criticized Fusionism as “effete, limp and unmasculine” because the political philosophy, which relies on liberalism’s purported beneficence to safeguard private institutions’ intergenerational passing down of virtue, “removes from the political arena…the very value judgments and critical questions that most affect our humanity and our civilization.” Some of Fusionism’s defenders, among them paradigmatic right-liberal David French, have taken umbrage. Writing earlier this week in The Atlantic, French accuses me of helping to foster a “culture that idolizes a twisted version of ’toughness’ as the highest ideal....

The game was delayed 16 minutes as they tried to decide whether Yankees manager Aaron Boone was slowing down the game down too much. Boone had come out to the mound In the top of the eighth inning to make a pitching change. He wanted to bring in Lucas Luetge to replace Miguel Castro with runners on first and second. The umpires were unclear as to whether the change was permitted, which led to a lengthy meeting on the mound....

The Frenchman’s five goals from five games sees him in pole position to claim the Golden Boot. Despite France missing the likes of Paul Pogba and Karim Benzema, Mbappe hasn’t missed a beat as he continues to give defenders headaches. The 23-year-old has already picked up two Man of the Match awards at the 2022 World Cup, and in doing so, has turned more heads with a very subtle act....

The USA men’s basketball team has had some issues in recent weeks. After a few poor showings in exhibition games, the team was forced to find replacements for Kevin Love and Bradley Beal on the fly, with some … interesting replacements named. But the show must go on — and it’s going on without some of its biggest stars. Before the roster was selected, several of the Association’s biggest names withdrew from consideration for the national team for different reasons, but largely health-related; Meaning, the world won’t get to see LeBron James, Stephen Curry, James Harden and others in the global tournament....

Both Bailly and Cahill have fallen out of favour at their respective clubs this season, and this isn’t the first time that they’ve been linked with a possible transfer in January. The former Villareal defender was signed by United in the summer of 2016 for £30 million, and immediately became a fan favourite for his energetic and solid displays in the heart of the defence. However, injury issues hampered his form last season....

If Tennessee beats Kansas City in the AFC championship game and goes on to win Super Bowl 54, it will mark the most phallic pro football championship since these Titans lost to Dick Vermeil and the Rams 20 years ago. The club of Super Bowl-winning coaches will simultaneously gain and lose a member. Thanks to Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan’s line of questioning in a podcast interview with his own coach, we learned in July that the 44-year-old Vrabel is willing to cut off his own penis for a Super Bowl title....

While Klopp’s back four is continuously targeted by pundits, it is in the midfield department where the problems originate. The recent history of the Premier League shows that a good defensive midfielder is a priceless asset to any team (from Everton’s Marouane Fellaini in the 2012-13 season to the N’Golo Kante of Leicester and Chelsea). You look at that Liverpool team and the absence of a holding midfielder is something that is holding them back from success....

Etika Joy-Cons, the custom Joy-Con shells otherwise known as Etikons, started as a project made to honour YouTuber Desmond Amofah, aka Etika, who took his own life in June 2019. A few months after his death, an Indiegogo charity campaign was launched with the help of Cptn Alex who specializes in making custom controllers. Contributors received a custom-made pair of the Etika-themed Joy-Cons. “The Etikons are a way to honor his legacy while putting a lasting product into the hands of his fans, and raising a ton of money for mental health and suicide prevention awareness,” the product description reads....

The beginning trump card of the Nokia Lumia 1520 is its 6-incher screen size. Perks of the screen include a full bow high definition display that also comes boosted with IPS display and something the maker markets as ClearBlack. Therefore, reading on the Lumia 1520 even under dim light is not an irritant. The quality of images and text is sharp and given that it stands at 368 pixels per inch this is no surprise....

The Gunners are very much drinking in the last-chance saloon when it comes to their 2017-18 campaign, with quite the bar bill being rung up in an establishment they have been frequenting for far too long. Comfort may yet be found at the bottom of a glass – or a giant silver cup with UEFA emblazoned on the side – with it possible that a sorry slump into the gutter can be avoided and a ticket secured back to the glitzy Champions League ball....

The Top-Down Fallacy. Many observers believe that the way to resolve the conflict is a final peace agreement, or “final status” in diplomatic parlance. Such a deal would form a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, while giving security assurances to Israel. Since the disputed areas are small, measured in a few square kilometers, frustrated statesmen (like Tony Blair and Condoleezza Rice) argue that the endgame is known and the only problem is getting there....

But after 25 years of terrorism and more than 3,200 deaths, peace was not yet at hand in Ulster. Among the tripwires: The Mideast offered a lesson on how to make peace: start with secret negotiations (in this case, indirect talks between Britain and the IRA) and aim first for an interim deal, with a final settlement to come later. But a sense of impending defeat helped push Yasir Arafat into an accord with Israel....

From the justified to the emotional, let’s look at some of the common reasons for widespread Apple hate. 1. The Walled Garden and Lack of Customization Apple designs the hardware, operating system, and many apps for its devices. This means that the company can fine-tune the experience exactly the way it wants and engineer its products to work smoothly together. Since Apple wants you to use its devices the way it intends, the company places restrictions on behaviors that would go outside the “garden....

Company executives said that the discount brands, some of which sell for under a dollar a pack, are the villains. Many consumers have shifted their allegiance away from brand names to generic cigarettes. In the past year Marlboro’s market share has fallen to 22 percent from 24 percent. Will this spur a price war? “It depends on how aggressive Philip Morris becomes with Marlboro,” says Craig Silvers, a tobacco analyst at Crowell, Weedon & Co....

The renovation programme costing nearly $500 million (£365 million) currently underway at Buckingham Palace is not set to be completed for another five years, at which time the Queen will be over 100. The ten-year-long project began in 2017 overhauling the wiring, heating and plumbing systems which had not been updated since the 1950s. The project has however faced disruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was intended that save for a few weeks, in which the Queen’s private apartments would undergo rewiring, the palace would be fully occupied and operational during the works....

There are some others who have the talent, get the opportunity but cannot sustain the momentum (read Vinod Kambli, Subramaniam Badrinath, S Sreesanth etc.).There are players who have a truckload of talent but never got the opportunity (Amarjeet Kaypee, Amol Mazumdar, Rajinder Goel etc.). And then, there are cricketers who tick all the three boxes yet they are never considered as great players. In today’s social media days, where you can go from hero to villain and hero again in no time, it is difficult for players not to get a stick from fans and critics....
