According to our man at the show, Dudley put Christopher Daniels (who was teaming with Frankie Kazarian against Cheeseburger and Kushida) through a table and then announced “This will be the last table I ever smash!” Here’s some in-person footage of Bubba following that announcement Of course, for those of you who are unaware, Bubba Ray Dudley is one of the most iconic names in the sphere of professional wrestling, with a chequered career that spans ECW, WWE and even TNA as Bully Ray....

Mumbai, Oct 29 (PTI) India’s Rohit Sharma Monday said the 81-ball 100 by Ambati Rayudu will remove any doubts that he is the ideal number four in the run-up to next year’s World Cup in England. Rohit and Rayudu smashed hundreds to lay the ground for India’s 224-run rout of the West Indies in the fourth and penultimate ODI at the Brabourne Stadium. “I think (it’s a) very important (knock)....

In the ongoing match in Lucknow, Rohit crossed Kohli’s tally when he smashed a straight six down the ground to reach a score of 16. In July, Rohit had become the fifth batsman in men’s cricket to join the 2000-run club when he struck 100 not out against England in Bristol. He was only the second Indian man and third Indian overall to get there, after women’s team star Mithali Raj and Kohli....

The Californian company has been looking for a Lead Production Attorney to “work on its expanding slate of original content.” Roku might have acquired the doomed Quibi library of 75 shows, offering them for free on the ad-supported Roku channel but the job listing is a clear indication that the firm plans to attempt to do what Quibi failed in. However, it’s unlikely that Roku will target mobile users and is more likely to offer a paid-for subscription service available via its range of streaming products – if it doesn’t add it to the Roku Channel....

Lewandowski MOCKS Ballon d’Or The teams lock horns on Saturday in Turin and Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon warned his team-mates this week the Giallorossi are genuine title contenders and should not be taken lightly. Perotti feels Buffon’s comments are proof Roma are on the right track and he is optimistic about his side’s chances of going all the way this term. “Buffon was right when he said Roma can win the title,” Perotti told the club’s official website....

The 41-year-old’s withdrawal has allowed former Roma team-mate Simone Perrotta to take his place in search of a UEFA B coaching badge. Roma 9/5 to beat Napoli “Francesco Totti has demonstrated that he is a champion even off the field,” read a statement from the AIAC to ANSA. “Since he was unable to attend the course regularly, and with respect for his colleagues, teachers and the organisers, he has withdrawn....

The Giallorossi are in ninth place in the table, having played five games, with La Viola just a point behind them in 10th place. Roma played out a pulsating 3-3 draw against AC Milan on Monday, a match full of goals, action and with plenty of controversy to boot. In stark contrast, their midweek UEFA Europa League fixture against CSKA Sofia finished goalless. Chris Smalling had a goal ruled out on his return, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan hit the crossbar in the first half, which was as close as Roma came to scoring in a dull 0-0 draw at the Olimpico....

Reigns’ father, WWE Legend Sika, was said to be “looking to start a war” he was so upset. One WWE source commented to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: “Sika forgot this business is not real life, and was legit pissed at the finish and looking to start a war. A lot of the younger (family members) were rallying around Sika, but the other 45 or 50 of them talked some reason....

Ronda Rousey returned after an almost three-year absence, whilst Brock Lesnar won his second Royal Rumble to wrack up another main event match at ‘Mania. Over the last decade, WWE has become more and more reliant on part-time stars with the likes of Goldberg, Batista, John Cena, and even The Rock being known to be recalled by the company when needed. Whilst this was a formula that once worked, it appears that there are now several glaring reasons why the company no longer needs to make the call to former stars for WrestleMania season....

“There’s a lot of things that we’re going to look at,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Monday about changing the offense. “We understand and we get that there’s some things that have to evolve around (Newton) because he’s evolving as a quarterback, as well. He’s getting older and he’s going to be a different style player. We know that much.” STEELE: Maybe Panthers should let Cam sit The natural assumption and takeaway from Rivera’s comments is that the Panthers will try and use Newton as less of a rusher and more of a passer....

With over 600 goals each for club and country, Messi and Ronaldo are two of five active players with most career hat-tricks.

Zinedine Zidane’s side had thrashed Juventus 3-0 in Turin and looked likely to cruise into the semi-finals in a home leg that appeared a formality, almost a dead rubber. But if Tuesday night’s action showed us anything, it is that these ties are far from over at the halfway stage. Like Barca and also Liverpool against City on Tuesday, Madrid conceded an early goal as Mario Mandzukic converted inside a minute and a half....

Rashford outshines debut boy Lukaku A return to Old Trafford was highlighted as a possibility after it was reported the 32-year-old has expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid while allegations of tax fraud are being pursued by the Spanish authorities. The Portugal star won three Premier League titles and the Champions Leagueat United before his £80 million move to the Spanish capital, where he worked with Mourinho for three years....

While there’s really no telling exactly what the brief glimpse of Scarecrow’s visage means — it could be referring to Rocksteady Studios’ new multiplayer game or it might denote yet another expansion pack for Batman: Arkham Knight beyond the Season of Infamy DLC detailed in the trailer below — it’s safe to presume that the developer is not through telling stories related to the World’s Greatest Detective. And, of course, Scarecrow has been omnipresent throughout the Arkham franchise, with main narratives and ancillary plots connecting to the villain — such as the most recent game’s Scarecrow missions — so it wouldn’t be the first time for Dr....

Rodgers left the Scottish Premiership champions to take up the role as successor to Claude Puel, who was sacked on Sunday, having led them to seven domestic trophies during his tenure. The Northern Irishman has signed a contract until 2022 but insists he was in no rush to depart Celtic Park. “It feels great, it’s obviously come very quickly and obviously, of course, over the last few days, but I know I’m joining a fantastic club that has grown so quickly over these last few years,” Rodgers told LCFC TV....

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers refused to rule out leading his club to a place in next season’s Europa League despite a setback in a goalless draw at home to West Ham United. Visiting manager Sam Allardyce ended a personal run of eight consecutive defeats at Anfield, and although his club failed to claim a first win there since 1963, the point represented a far better result for the Hammers than it did for Rodgers’ side....

More than just return to the field, Rodgers led the Packers to the biggest comeback victory in the team’s history, as they overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 24-23. With just more than nine minutes remaining before half-time, Rodgers went down and clutched his left leg after Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris fell on him during a sack. After spending a few minutes in the medical tent, Rodgers left the field on a cart....

The host initiated Harrison’s talk by saying both Griffin and Kirk Cousins have been bad for Washington, but only RG3 received the heavy amount of backlash from the fans and the media. Harrison gave his opinion on why that is.

Before his turn as a guest radio analyst on the Red Sox’s broadcast, he talked to reporters about a wide range of issues, Cooperstown among them. His public stance on the Hall remains the same even as he gets closer to enshrinement with five years of eligibility remaining.
