WATCH: “Dark Side of the Ring” Trailer

I’m so late to the party on this docu-series.

Growing up in the south where wrestling is huge, I can remember my grandparents being heavy professional wrestling fans so watching the WWF every weekend was very much a ritual in our house and I loved every second of it.

I grew up in the 80s era. Macho Man Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Andre the Giant were all so exciting to watch as a kid. I can still remember the anticipation of the pay per view events such as Summer Slam, Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. The pay per views were considered to be the biggest and most important shows because they featured the biggest matches and storylines.

I absolutely enjoyed the flamboyance, the smack talking, the brawls, the bodies, the costumes and entertainment aspect of it all. I didn’t care if it was real or fake I was more impressed in the creative team’s ability to keep millions of fans glued to their television sets every week waiting to see what would happen next.

Donald Trump Tennis Shoes Sell Out at Sneakercon

One thing about Donald Trump he’s a damn hustler.

The Donald showed up to Sneakercon in Philly this weekend to promote his new kicks and was met with a mix of jeers and cheers from the crowd. Mostly boos.

Trump, never one to let him see em sweat and always one to spin bad press, thanked the crowd for having “a lot of emotion” for him.

The “Never Surrender” sneaker retailed for 399 US dollars and is said to have sold out in minutes of their debut. Apparently the gold lame high tops outlined with the American flag logo and a large T were a limited edition with only 50 pair being made available for sale.

“What profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?”

Today was a Netflix and chill kind of day so I caught up on this riveting limited series about disgraced Wall Street financier Bernie Madoff.

The three part documentary throughly chronicled Madoff’s early life leading up to him becoming one of Wall Street’s richest investors known for running the largest known Ponzi scheme in history, worth an estimated $65 billion.

The fallout from Madoff’s financial fraud crimes was beyond catastrophic, not only for his innocent victims — most of whom lost their entire life savings, but for his own family. Madoff recruited his two sons and his brother to work alongside him in the business but they all denied knowing about the fraud. His sons would eventually be responsible for turning him into authorities.

In the end both his sons died. One son committed suicide and the other son died of cancer shortly after his father’s conviction.
