Recently there has been news going around that Tony khan, the owner of AEW would like to work with WWE for a cross promotion event. According to Forbes, Tony Khan is open to the possibility of working with WWE & Vince McMahon for an AEW/WWE super show.

As a wrestling podcast host & commentator I think this is a good idea because it would help both companies benefit from a super show but it has to be done right & with the right amount of booking. Imagine the endless possibilities from this if it ends up happening. It could be a major PPV town such as Washington DC, Vegas, New York, Orlando or Texas with AEW & WWE fans coming together for one event which would be amazing but the only issue I see here is the tv rating for an AEW/WWE super show. AEW is TV-14, WWE is PG so in order for a show like this to work Vince McMahon & Tony khan would have to discuss a deal between the two promotions tv ratings & the networks.

As for the talent you would have to lift some push back within the WWE for a character such as Austin Theory or Alexa Bliss to allow the characters to shine in matches against talent on the AEW roster because the two promotions have different rules & roster regulations and the talent would have to adjust quickly within the time frame before the scheduled PPV event. Do I think it may happen? Possibly but Both AEW & WWE have to want it or it’s out the window. I could maybe see it in the works but only time will tell for certain.

From James Harden Declining his $47 million option with the 76ers to Kevin Durant requesting a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, free agency has begun with a bang. Arguably the biggest name was thrown out there, Kevin Durant, was not expected to enter the market after teammate Kyrie Irving wanted out of Brooklyn days before. However, on Thursday, sources told ESPN.s Adrian Wojnarowski the 12-time all-star was seeking to leave the State of New York.

The blockbuster news came as a shock to many thinking everything was alright after Irving decided to stay. With KD, it is rumored that his preference is to go to a ready-made team contesting for a championship, teams such as the Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, and even the Denver Nuggets.

The Eastern Conference has brewed up other moves with Zach LaVine agreeing to a $215 million extension to STAY in Chicago. The Boston Celtics have finally addressed the problem of no true playmaker by acquiring Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers to go along with Marcus Smart in the backcourt.

The Knicks have cleared house to make cap space for the signing of Jalen Brunson, with the contract rumored to be for 4 years, $100 million. Champion Center Kevon Looney signed to a three-year, $25.5 million deal to return to the Warriors, and Dejounte Murray was traded to the Hawks from San Antonio.

The biggest news came from Washington and from Denver. Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic agreed to a max extension worth $264 million, the highest EVER contract deal in NBA history. Bradley Beal in D.C opted out of his $36.4 million player option which sent supporters into a frenzy thinking he could leave, but he made a U-turn to sign an extension with the Wizards worth $251 million.

Is all that money thrown out so far but is it all worth it? Beal won 3 playoff games in 5 years so some say maybe not. With a rebuild going on in Portland, what’s happening with Dame? Where does KD end up if this trade comes to fruition? It’s been just over 24 hours so we’re gonna have to wait a while.

Recently WWE World wrestling entertainment signed Logan Paul to a multi-year deal as a superstar. Logan Paul was last seen teaming with the Miz at WrestleMania Before taking a skull crushing finale after the completion of the Match. It is noted that WWE is also working with bad bunny who is another celebrity. Logan Paul definitely has the skill to be a wrestler based on his WM Match but How will WWE present him to a the fans? It’s likely he will be a baby face and continue the feud with The Miz & because of boxing & YouTube we may see Paul splitting time in between his contract. As a wrestling podcast host I think the fan reaction may be a mix of boo”s & cheers because some people hate him & some people like him but it’s no reaction we haven’t seen before based on John Cenas 20 year run with the WWE. I think signing Logan Paul helps add more of a story to tell on the main roster since the talent is limited & scarce at times. There are many things WWE can do with Logan Paul with the right training & promo work & it will be interesting to see how he does. If WWE is signing celebrities to Contracts expect there to be more on the way.

It has been 11 years since Yohan Blake has been in shape like this, and it couldn’t come at a better time. For those who don’t know I am Jamaican so when it comes to IAAF events I’ll put my country first. On Friday night, Blake lined up in the 100-meter finals at the Jamaica National trials after speeding to 9.98 seconds in the semi-final round.

The final was to be contested between Yohan Blake, the 2nd fastest man of all-time, Oblique Seville, the fastest Jamaican over the distance this year (9.86 seconds), Ackeem Blake (9.92 seconds), and a returning Kemar Bailey-Cole, who has a personal best of 9.92 seconds set in London, 2015.

To win this race, Blake would have to run sub-9.90 seconds; something he hasn’t done in a decade. However, cometh the hour, cometh the man as Yohan sped to victory in 9.85 seconds, looking like he is in 2010 shape. Seville got up well and had the race in the bag for 60 meters before the experienced campaigner came through for victory, Seville second (9.88s) and Ackeem Blake 3rd (9.93s).

This outing is serving up for a hotly contested affair in Oregon after it was just minutes before Blake when American Fred Kerley became the fastest man in the world, finishing in 9.76 seconds.

With Kerley in the form he’s in, Blake coming back to his best with the emergence of Seville and other youngsters, not forgetting Olympic Champion Lamont Jacobs from Italy and if all goes in person as it does on paper this should be a mouth-watering affair.

The European transfer market opened on the 10th of June and some clubs, agents, and players have already been making moves in the market this summer. This was the year of free agents with notable names Antonio Rudiger, Kylian Mbappe, Paul Pogba, and Frank Yannick Kessie making blockbusters moves [and stays].

UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid have made just a couple of additions in Center Back Antonio Rudiger and spending up to $105 million on Aurelien Tchouameni from AS Monaco, looking to repeat as UCL champions. Florentino Perez, the owner of the Madrid club, has bolstered his manager’s midfield options for the upcoming season.

For rivals Barcelona, a financial crisis was nearly averted by an $845 million windfall to save them, however, they are looking to sell Frenkie De Jong to Manchester United to remove 350k a week off their wage bill for the upcoming season.

With incomings, they have agreed to deals with Frank Kessie, and Andreas Christensen, and tied down teenager Gavi and defender Sergi Roberto for the future. They have also been linked to 50-goal a-season striker Robert Lewandowski with reports of a fee in the range of $53 million will be able to persuade Bayern Munich to sell the forward.

Italian champions AC Milan are fighting a lot of interest to keep Rafael Leao on board to the team. They have brought Divock Origi in from Liverpool, looking to complete a deal for Sven Botman from Lille after missing out on Renato Sanches as he is being sent to French champions Paris Saint-German for $32 million.

Former Italian dominants Juventus are looking to regain the top spot in the Serie A, adding to the January signing of Dusan Vlahovic by welcoming Paul Pogba for the 2nd time on a free transfer. Inter Milan is competing again when they welcome the Lukaku x Martinez combo upfront after getting the big Belgian on loan for the upcoming season.

In England, champions Manchester City have begun the defense of their title. They have signed world-class talent Erling Halaand from Borussia Dortmund, and Julian Alvarez, and looking to sign Marc Cucurella, and Kalvin Phillips while trying to keep hold of Bernardo Silva. Challengers Liverpool have signed Darwin Nunez for $105 million to somewhat replace the departed Sadio Mane, and also Scottish wonderkid Calvin Ramsey to add some squad depth.

Chelsea and Arsenal are looking to keep up with the top two by fighting for the signature of Raheem Sterling. Tottenham is doing the business by signing Fraser Forster as a backup keeper, Ivan Perisic, and midfield destroyer Yves Bissouma to add to their champions league roster.

Manchester United who came off their worst ever Premier League season still have not made improvements to a torrid squad. After letting go Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, and Nemanja Matic go for free, no additions have been made.

Nine weeks of negotiating for Frenkie De Jong, and interest in Antony, Pau Torres, and Lisandro Martinez have been a shocking summer for the club so far. To make matters worse, the greedy Glazer owners are gonna be taking $14 million before they improve the squad.

Money boys Newcastle have secured their first signing with Nick Pope leaving Burnley for the Toon army. Other players linked to moves are Hugo Ekitike, Sven Botman, and Eric Bailly some names being shopped around at the St. James’ Park club. Aston Villa has bolstered their team to fight for Europe with the signings of Boubacar Kamara and Diego Carlos with other moves pausing for now.

German Champions Bayern Munich welcomed Ryan Gravenberch, and Sadio Mane, and are looking to accompany him with Konrad Laimer, while challengers Dortmund are trying to compete with the acquisitions of Niklas Sule, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Karim Adeyemi. To dethrone the champions of the last ten years will require a bit more.

After two convincing close-out games against the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors lifted their 4th trophy in the last 8 years, reviving the dynasty after a 2-year drought. The Warriors are back at the top of the NBA pyramid, some saying that is where they belong.

However, one still wonders what could have been if Jordan Poole did not twist Ja Morant’s knee earlier in their title run. Would they even be the topic of conversation? Would Steph Curry be touted as the great he is now rather than what he was?

Steph Curry albeit is one of the best distance shooters of all time, but not winning this would have more of a negative effect than positive. Could he carry this team with an aging Draymond and an out-of-form Klay? Was it all Durant? Well, first off that’s a no.

Curry, even though wasn’t the MVP before now, was more influential and important than Durant in those championships. Carrying a team was always the worry with Stephen and right now all critics have been silenced.

This is Steph’s first Finals MVP award cementing him as one of the better players of this generation, creating the narrative “best shooting guard of all time”. For me, with a game on the line, I’d still put the ball in the hands of Ray Allen.

Ranking all-time greats, the top 5 [MJ, Magic, Kareem, Kobe, LeBron] are untouchable and apart from 3-point shooting, it is hard for Steph to even be a top 10 of all-time. Night night.
