Tim's Story
Man have I had a crazy life! I lost my rock, my best friend, and the love of my life who is my mother and that's when things for me didn't go how I wanted it to go. I was young and very dumb! When my mother passed away, I had to go live with my older brother who became my parent and had the responsibility of bringing me up. That didn't go well because my brother was also young and dumb so a majority of the time I would be alone. Wake up in the morning, alone, go to sleep at night, alone. And this is at the tender age of 10 years old. Things had to change. Now my mum and dad split up when I was a baby so my dad had moved on and created a new family of his own. I had to go live with him and his new family. The moment I moved in I knew I wasn't welcome. My bed was in the kitchen. My dad, bless him, knew I didn't like it there, but I had no choice. It is what it is.

Wrestling Goliath
“COX!” “Yes, Coach?” “How much do you weigh?” “About 138.” “Can you get above 140? I want you to wrestle 152.” What was I going to say? Uh, no thanks Coach, that guy’s gonna be a lot bigger than me. So, you know, that might make it kinda hard. My own inability to say no, added to the cult of masculinity that is wrestling, led to me agreeing without even having to think about it.

Wrestlemania 34 Review: Full Breakdown & Highlights!
What a strange ending!! I am not quite sure what we just saw. Wrestlemania 34 was mostly an entertaining night with various matches that totaled up to 14 in all. There were plenty of big moments, but something does not feel right. It is not just Roman Reigns losing. Brock Lesnar was able to retain his Universal Championship, while Roman was left lying on his own blood. This was not an ending we all expected to see.

Dana White Refuses to Contact Jon Jones After Doping Violation
The latest news of Jon "Bones" Jones being removed from the main card of UFC 200 has come with some unforeseen consequences, for Jones that is. Since his removal from the fight on Wednesday (July 6th), many have questioned why Jones was removed, and now that the whole story is out on Jon Jones being removed from the fight for a doping violation, Jones could be in for more than he bargained for when he decided to ingest banned supplements during training for his fight with Cormier at UFC 200. Jon Jones was originally placed at the top of the main card against Daniel Cormier in a match-up that would have united the two Interim UFC Light-Heavyweight titles. Jones now has more to think about than training for a fight, he has to contend with possible sanctions imposed by the USADA, impeding his ability to fight for up to two years.

When a case of Viral Meningitis affects your roster, what is a company to do, right?
