Why Liv Morgan Deserves to be This Year's Ms. Money In The Bank
The name Liv Morgan has gained a lot of steam in the last year, and that steam alone is long overdue. I have been among many saying that it's time Liv received something resembling an elevation, and from what we've seen since around the summer of 2021, it looks like we could finally see Liv get the push that she deserves and she's worked hard to receive. Hopefully, it leads to a big moment on July 2, 2022. Why that date? Because on that day, WWE's 13th annual Money In The Bank event takes place.

What Went Wrong: Oilers Swept in Chaotic West Final. Top Story - June 2022.
The Battle of Alberta series didn't just determine who would represent the Pacific Division in the Conference Finals, it was a battle to see who would be the last Canadian team standing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That honor ended up going to the Edmonton Oilers, after a five game series win, and it was their first Final Four appearance since 2006--the year that the Oilers made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final and fell just one win short. The Oilers faced off against the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Final, and it was a marquee matchup: Connor McDavid vs Nathan MacKinnon. I was one of many fans who was salivating over this battle between two of the biggest stars in the NHL.

Finals Game Two: Warriors Even the Score
The Golden State Warriors entered Game Two of the NBA Finals with their backs to the wall; a position that they had not been familiar with in the past Finals they had been in. In each of the Warriors' last five appearances in the Finals, the Warriors were strong at the start, even in their defeats in 2016 (against the Cleveland Cavaliers) and 2019 (against the Toronto Raptors). This year, however, was different. The Warriors lost Game One on their home court, doing so after entering the 4th quarter with a 12 point lead. Because of that, the Warriors are in a must-win situation, as they could ill afford entering Boston down 2-0.

Finals Game One: Living by the Three
The 2022 NBA Finals have arrived, and in this go-around, it's the Golden State Warriors facing the Boston Celtics. I'll be blunt: I am not happy that the Warriors are back in the Finals. One of the things that has soured me from the NBA is its lack of parity, but when last year gave us the Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks, I thought there was hope for the NBA to be wide open. That hope was dashed this year. Now to be fair, this isn't the "superteam" Warriors, but still, it's the same-old, same-old. Even worse, the two seasons that passed since the Warriors' last Finals appearance in 2019 were both affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which means that some can even resort to saying that the pandemic is the only reason why the Warriors didn't returned to the playoffs, which would give the team more credit than they deserve.

MLB May 2022 Review
The 2022 MLB season is closing in on the summer months, and that means the All-Star break is getting closer and closer. While the month of April serves as an introductory portion of the season--not as vital but important enough to give fans an idea of how each of the 30 teams will perform, the month of May serves as a tone-setting month. How each team stands after May is important, as June is the last full month before the all-important All-Star break. But that's down the line. Here's a look at a few teams that drew some attention in the month of May.

What Went Wrong: Another Elite Eight Loss for Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes' 2022 Stanley Cup Playoff run was an interesting one, to say the least. After managing to finish first in the Metropolitan Division, the Hurricanes ended up in a dogfight against a Boston Bruins team that was sputtering. Seven games, but the Hurricanes won because of home-ice--the home team won all seven games. The Canes went on to face the New York Rangers in what went on to be a hotly contested series, and just like their first series against the Bruins, the home team kept winning games.

What Went Wrong: Blues Lose Series and a Lot of Respect in the Process
A heated and immensely controversial Central Division Final series between the Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues saw the latter ousted in six games. The Blues entered the playoffs as a much stronger team than they were in the previous season, and it showed. The shortened 2020-21 season saw the Blues in the localized West Division, and in spite of the fact that half of the West Division consisted of poor teams, the Blues struggled to get into the playoffs, and when they did get the division's last spot, they took their struggles with them.

Reviewing Bull's Final Two Villainesses
A show I really grew to love and enjoy watching was Bull, the procedural series that starred Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull, the head of the Trial Analysis Corporation (TAC). For Weatherly, the show was coming right after his long run as Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo, Jr. on NCIS came to an end, and regarding Bull, the series premiered on September 20, 2016. This was an amazing show with terrific characters, intriguing storylines, and some very interesting and memorable villainesses in some episodes. The premiere episode had a good one, and Bull's final two villainesses were quite intriguing as well, and they were featured in back-to-back episodes.

What Went Wrong: Flames Extinguished in Battle of Alberta. Top Story - May 2022.
We were really excited for this, weren't we? For the first time in 31 years, we had the Battle of Alberta in the Stanley Cup Playoffs; an occurrence that--many say--was set to happen in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused that season to be paused. We all salivated over this, and yes, I was part of the "we all." I was six years old when the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers last met in the playoffs, and I wasn't even thinking about hockey at that time, so this was really my first time experiencing this. I was looking for a seven-game, knock 'em out, street fight between these two longtime provincial foes. Instead, we got a short series that went the way of the Edmonton Oilers.

Villainess Review: Cynthia Walker (Exploited)
So I was combing Redbox and decided to watch a film on their On Demand list; something I hadn't done in a while. After combing through a number of trailers, my film of choice was Exploited, and this was quite a movie that I picked out. The film centers on main protagonist Brian and his first day in college, but the beginning of his freshman year sees in the center of the world of webcam, voyeurism, dark secrets, sex, drugs, rock and roll, and yes, even murder.
