Firefly Funhouse match: A unique look at John Cena’s WWE history The psychological bout in question wasn’t just about Wyatt getting his win back. In fact, the FFH match was a rollercoaster ride and covered different stages of John Cena’s WWE career from a never-before-seen perspective. Throughout the bout, the two-time Royal Rumble winner was criticized for various things that he did wrong in his career. Going over Wyatt in 2014, acting as the golden goose, not turning heel when there was a huge demand for it (the nWo reference), etc....

Molds have been an under recognized health problem, but that is changing. Health-care professionals now know that molds can cause allergies, trigger asthma attacks and increase susceptibility to colds and flu. Anyone with a genetic predisposition can become allergic if exposed repeatedly to high enough levels. Last year Dr. David Sherris at the Mayo Clinic performed a study of 210 patients with chronic sinus infections and found that most had allergic fungal sinusitis....

How it all Began After several acrimonious meetings and intensive deliberations, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) came into existence in the summer of 1937. After Independence, the AIFF sought affiliation to the world body FIFA. So eleven years after being founded, the AIFF joined FIFA in 1948. The AIFF has played an active role in promoting football, not only in the country, but also in Asia. India was one of the founder members of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 1954....

He is charged with the shooting death of an old boyfriend and is a suspect in the fatal bludgeoning of another acquaintance. He is wanted for questioning in connection with the slashing and torture of a prominent Chicago tycoon who suffered, in the words of his 96-year-old mother, ““a worse death than Christ.’’ On Friday night, as Cunanan allegedly fled eastward, police suspect he struck again, murdering the caretaker of a cemetery in New Jersey with a single shot to the head....

Even though it was losing $4 billion, the company was sending the signal that it was business as usual. Stempel was saying GM’s problems were recession related. They’re not. The overhaul must be a lot more than the president. They must start getting rid of the dead-wood at the top. Chrysler asked everyone to sacrifice. GM must do the same. How could GM expect union support when it continued to raise the dividend?...

The College Football Playoff selection committee kept reiterating its mission to find the “best four teams” in the nation, and until this year, everyone had assumed those teams came from a pool of conference champions. That’s about to change. Ohio State, which finished second in the Big Ten East, is virtually a lock for the playoff despite not playing for a Big Ten title. The precedent of devaluing conference championship games has been set with ranking the Buckeyes at No....

One of the reasons for this is the multitude of Indian wrestlers who have plied their trade in the biggest professional wrestling promotion in the world. While we have the likes of Jinder Mahal winning the WWE Championship, there have always been some interesting Indian Superstars making a name for themselves in the WWE. So, without any further ado, let’s get into our list of the all the Indian stars in the history of the WWE:...

I would like to offer (cautiously) some cause for optimism. Natural winegrowers from Alsace to Vermont, from Mendoza to Marsala are leading a raucously civil and rootedly cosmopolitan insurrection against all the forces conspiring to wrestle the planet to death. Their engagement in completely material, agricultural questions (without ever losing the spiritual dimension) have created a model for rural renewal and may hold a key for a reinvigoration of urban culture as well....

But what to do with Russia long term? This looming problem is perhaps an even bigger one for the United States and NATO countries to confront than what to do right now. Of course, there are many examples of dictators under stress who have resorted to military action to shore up domestic support, only to be repelled by NATO and Western intervention. Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic in Kosovo and the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein are two such examples of “managed” dictatorships with limited room to maneuver who were neutralized as a potential threat to the global order....

What Is Microsoft Cloud PC? News of this feature arrived on the @h0x0d Twitter account. The tweet shows several screenshots of a website that offers cloud PC services. The tweet shows that the service isn’t quite complete yet, with missing elements and test parameters. As such, it’s unlikely that Microsoft will officially announce this service soon. You can see the website for yourself at cloudpc.microsoft.com. The website will direct you to a Microsoft login page....

I had long suspected that this was true, but not until I stumbled across “The 1995 Yearbook of Experts, Authorities & Spokes-persons” did I realize how true. The Yearbook amasses more than 900 pages of experts on everything from “Addictions/Boredom” (The Boring institute) to “Bird Baths” (The National Bird Feeding Society) to “Health Fraud/Quackery” (The American Preventive Medical Association) to “Legal Issues/Hypnosis” (The American Council of Hypnotist Examiners) to “Relationships/Couples” (The Institute for Creative Solutions)....

Fifteen years after the last authorized U.S. soldier left the country, Vietnam now seems eager for Americans to return–as businessmen. With unemployment in the cities hitting 30 percent and the economy a shambles, foreign investment is sorely needed to get the nation back on its feet. “There’s a perception that if America comes back, things will be better,” says Gage McAfee, a Hong Kong-based American lawyer who recently took a delegation of foreign–but not American–businessmen to Vietnam to meet with top officials....

In the Post series, Quayle passed through a metal detector of political credibility set up by two of the paper’s most formidable reporters, Bob Woodward and David Broder. In book-length detail, they cleared Quayle of a host of charges: that he had pulled strings to get into the National Guard, that he stood to inherit millions, that he was merely a handsome young man in the right place at the right time when Bush was casting about for a running mate in 1988....

As he rose to stardom in the mid-1990s and began to dominate the sport, consistently beating such popular stars as Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace, fans quickly turned on him. Though he carried himself with class and professionalism both on and off the track, there was no driver fans loved to hate more than the young hotshot driver from California. For more than a decade, Gordon was the target of more disdain than any driver....

In first grade, I learned how to tell stories to get attention from my classmates. In middle school, I seized every chance to perform: sports, bands, writing, acting. I was addicted to connecting with audiences. I loved how their bodies stilled when I hooked their focus. I dreamed of a life entertaining. Adulthood crushed that dream. As a senior in college, I learned my value would soon be reduced to my LinkedIn title and salary....

The Biden administration’s aim to rejoin the 2015 nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), would be disastrous and self-defeating, not just for the United States but also for our partners in the Middle East. Sanctions relief would give Iran tens of billions of dollars to spend on drones, missiles and militias that pose region-wide threats, including against American and allied troops—just as happened when the deal was first implemented....
