HULK HOGAN

The Iron Sheik, a former pro wrestler who played a burly, bombastic villain in 1980s battles with some of the sport’s biggest stars, has died at age 81.

The nearly $1 billion judgment against Alex Jones for spreading false conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre bought long-sought relief to family members and hopes the eye-popping figure would deter people from broadcasting falsehoods.

A report says World Wrestling Entertainment impresario Vince McMahon agreed to pay more than $12 million over the past 16 years to suppress allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity.

Bill Goldberg returns for his second WWE match this year to fight Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam.

WWE is ready to hit the road and start a summer tour this weekend in Texas.

The legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election is being tested at the aging Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, which once played host to NBA games, roller derby and wrestling matches.

With his farm and family commitments, Goldberg noted it’s “harder and harder” to get pulled away from home. His match against McIntyre took place in front of fans that appeared live on digital video boards WWE dubbed the ThunderDome. Ad“It’s very difficult, but character-wise, I’m just focused in on who I’m wrestling,” he said. Goldberg said he’s contractually obligated for one more match this year with WWE and two more each year for the remainder of his contract. “It seems as if Texans are helping out Texans and that’s why I like the place.”

The former Trump Plaza casino was imploded after falling into such disrepair that chunks of the building began peeling off and crashing to the ground. “I got chills,” Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said. AdOpened in 1984, when Trump was a real estate developer in his pre-politics days, Trump Plaza was for a time the most successful casino in Atlantic City. AdBut things began to sour for Trump Plaza when Donald Trump opened the nearby Trump Taj Mahal in 1990, with crushing debt loads that led the company to pour most of its resources — and cash — into the shiny new hotel and casino. Trump Plaza was the last of four Atlantic City casinos to close in 2014, victims of an oversaturated casino market both in the New Jersey city and in the larger northeast.

The disgraced former NBA referee is back, and again this time hes fixing the result, only with his employers permission. That’s just fine this time around for MLW and Donaghy, the disgraced former NBA referee who pulled on the pinstripes and made his ring debut for the Florida-based promotion in typical nefarious fashion. Donaghy was the latest wrestling ref to side with the bad guy and used underhanded tactics against Savio Vega to pull off the illegitimate victory. The bell rang at the end of the Caribbean Strap match and Donaghy raised the hand of the cocksure co-conspirator Richard Holliday. In a Caribbean Strap match, Vega and Holliday were tethered together with leather and the objective was to touch all four turnbuckles in succession.

There is fury after Hulk Hogan was offered a ride in a police car across the tarmac at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. The former wrestler posted video of himself and two companions getting a special ride across the tarmac with sirens blaring and lights flashing after his flight landed. It's just not normal driving around without our siren on, he said in the video posted to social media. "The superintendent was furious about what he saw," Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, according to The Chicago Tribune. The officer will lose a special certification that allows cops to drive vehicles on the tarmac, Guglielmi added.
