The names that have written Wimbledon history, among women, stand out in the pages of the legendary tournament.   The names that have written Wimbledon history, among women, stand out in the pages of the legendary tournament. From the first edition of 1884 until 1914, there was a British domain, with many stars that, at the turn of the 1800s and 1900s, began to write the history of women's singles.   Among them Lottie Dod (1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1893), Blanche Bingley (1886, 1889, 1894, 1897, 1899, 1900), Charlotte Cooper (1895, 1896, 1898, 1901, 1901, 1908) and Dorothea Douglass (1904 , 1906, 1910, 1911, 1913, 1914).   After the First World War, the era of La Divine Suzanne Lenglen began, which dominated both Wimbledon and the Roland Garros. In London, the Frenchwoman won five consecutive titles (from 1919 to 1923) plus the sixth title in 1925.   She was the first real-world star of women's tennis, which influenced both the way she played and women's fashion in sport.

Dinsmore talked about Steve Austin helping get his character created: “One of the trainers I had in Louisville, KY was the Hustler Rip Rogers. Rip’s son was I think three, four, five years old at the time. He brought an idea of a character to me. His son has autism.  Now the kid’s like the valedictorian of his high school I think and he’s in college doing great. Rip gave me the idea, what about a character much like Rain Man? He might not be very sociable, he might not be able to tie his shoes correctly, but the minute the bell rings, he can do everything he’s seen on TV

Hulk Hogan explains why he refused to lose against AEW star

Image
Hulk Hogan recently shed light on his infamous match against Sting at WCW Starrcade 1997.   WCW higher-ups initially booked Hogan to lose against the current AEW star. However, The Hulkster decided on the day of the show that he wanted to change the finish.  At the time, the wrestling legend was allowed to make backstage decisions because he had a creative control clause in his contract. On the latest A&E Biography: WWE Legends episode, Hogan recalled a conversation he had with former WCW executive Eric Bischoff before the match: "I had a problem with it because if you're gonna beat me when I've got this type of momentum, this is about making money.  If you beat somebody, you beat them in a way that they're better off after they're beat than they were before, and Eric really wasn't sure where we were going with this thing." To this day, confusion still surrounds the finish of the match.  Hogan appeared to have won after referee Nick Patrick counted

While NBA is a great stage to earn money by playing basketball, it’s also an avenue for building connections and constructing a portfolio.  They meet a variety of sponsors, advertisers, people, and a bunch of investors looking to multiply profits. Since most players retire in their late 30s, financial security plays a huge role. And hey, who wants to miss out on such lucrative deals?  Therefore, it is not surprising that LeBron James, as an NBA athlete, has built wonderful name recognition. Because of that, companies flock to promote their products under his name. As a gamer, King James has seen multiple eras.  From the rise of Nintendo to PS5, the billionaire witnessed major changes in graphics and different gaming styles. He is a fan of Nintendo and he has paid homage to old games too.

In June 2022, NBA star LeBron James became a billionaire. Like many other achievements in his life, this one also had a peculiar element to it: no other NBA player had achieved the billionaire status before.  King James' journey to massive wealth started when he was getting ready to enter the league. At the age of 18 James had the foresight, financial wisdom and long-term outlook that is necessary for financial success in life. In his book about LeBron James, Jeff Benedict shares the interesting story of how three major companies, Reebok, adidas AG (OTC:ADDYY) and NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) were trying to woo James, who was just 18 at that time, to sign a deal with them.  The biggest test for James came when Reebok put their $100 million offer on the table but LeBron James’ advisers still recommended him to decli

Creating a company from scratch is a difficult process. It requires immense dedication, and people work for hours to build a fortune through business.  With so much time being spent on a project, likening it to a child is one of the more obvious outcomes. As Reddit turns 18, co-founder Alexis Ohanian, the husband of Serena Williams, celebrated his former company turning into an adult.  As wishes poured in, Ohanian acted like the parent of the social media platform, especially after a comment from Chicago P.D. actress, Sophia Bush.   While Ohanian thought of Reddit as his baby, he left as the CEO of the platform back in 2020. He spent night and day making sure Reddit could compete with platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.   Founded on 23rd June 2005, the social media platform recently celebrated turning an adult. Reddit was founded by Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, and since its conception, it now stands as one of the most popular community platforms worth $15 billion.   In his ce

Seeded 11th in the tournament, the American reached the title clash following wins over Giulia Gatto-Monticone, Kaja Juvan, Julia Gorges, Carla Suarez Navarro, Alison Riske, and Barbora Strycova.   Here, she faced Simona Halep and lost 6-2, 6-2. Williams, who won 23 Majors, lost another opportunity to equal Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles.   The American was asked if she felt she could equal the record in 2019. She responded by claiming that getting pregnant and having her daughter played a little bit of a role in not matching Court's tally. Williams stated that she was focused on just doing her best.   "I had no chance at the French this year, for sure. Someone told me I shouldn't look at the records any more. I should just focus on my game. That's kind of what I've been doing since I got to 18," Serena Williams said.  "In the meantime, I got pregnant, had a ba

AEW NAME DESCRIBES DIFFICULTIES WORKING WITH HULK HOGAN

One of the most infamous moments in WWE history came at the end of WrestleMania 9 in 1993, when Hulk Hogan appeared following Yokozuna’s WWF Championship victory over Bret Hart.  Hogan challenged Yokozuna to an impromptu match, quickly beating the Samoan giant to capture the title. Hogan would end up leaving WWE a few months later, dropping the championship back to Yokozuna at the 1993 King of the Ring event, which was the first-ever pay-per-view called by WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross.  On his Grilling JR podcast, JR discussed the event, which was his first time watching Hogan up close during his legendary career. It was often cited that the original plan would have seen Hogan drop the title to Bret Hart at SummerSlam that year, which didn’t end up happening.  Hart discussed the plans in his 2008 book, noting that Hogan had refused to put over the Hitman.

Elon Musk called copyright a ‘plague on humanity’ and now he’s being sued for $250 million by music publishers who claim Twitter stole their content

Image
A group of music companies is suing Twitter for over $250 million, claiming the platform has ignored many copyright violation notices. The coalition is composed of 17 music publishers, including such big names as Sony Music Publishing,  Universal Music Corp., and Big Machine Music. One problem for Elon Musk in defending the lawsuit is that he’s said he considers copyright a “plague on humanity.” The National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) is representing the coalition in the suit, which claims that publishers sent copyright violation notices for 1,700 songs, on which the social network took no action.  The coalition is seeking fines of up to $150,000 per violation. “Twitter has engaged in, knowingly facilitated, and profited from copyright infringement, at the expense of music creators, to whom Twitter pays nothing,” the plaintiffs allege. NMPA CEO David Israelite emailed a statement to Fortune expounding on the case:  “Twitter stands alone as the largest social media platfor

W No 1 for 319 weeks and winner of 23 Grand Slam singles titles, Williams announced her retirement from professional tennis after a third-round defeat to Ajla Tomljanovic at the US Open - more than 25 years after making her Tour debut.  We are privileged to have observed Serena rule the roost in a golden era of tennis. Age has never been an obstacle for the irrepressible Williams, who collected 12 of her 23 major titles after 2010, last winning a major title at the Australian Open in 2017, while being eight weeks pregnant. Williams has also been runner-up in 10 major finals but she's been stuck on 23 Grand Slams since 2017.  She tried and tried to equal Margaret Court's all-time record - but without success yet. Injury and illness played a part in Williams' incredible story, although she continued to defy logic by battling back time and time again. Since 1998, she has topped the rankings 10 times, dropping outside of it just three times during that period. Williams ha

Former NCAA swim star Riley Gaines slammed the president of far-left Human Rights Campaign for denying the biological advantages of male athletes in a Wednesday Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.  Kelley Robinson, who describes herself as the first queer, Black president of the Human Rights Campaign, claimed that tennis legend Serena Williams could beat men at the sport at the hearing on "Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans."  There's been this news article about men that think they can beat Serena Williams in tennis," Robinson said.

Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry still cause Prince William 'resentment- Royal Author

Image
Prince William and his younger brother Prince Harry were once close siblings at the center of the British royal family.  However, their relationship has since soured in the past few years, plagued by Harry’s claims in his book “Spare” as well as his 2020 move to California with his wife, Meghan Markle.  Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” alleges that the Prince of Wales, 41, is still fuming over Harry’s 400-page memoir. “William is still simmering with resentment over ‘Megxit,’ not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrait of him in ‘Spare,’” the royal expert claimed to Fox News recently.  Andersen went on to note what the Duke of Sussex, 38, had penned about William, reiterating that Harry portrayed him as his “arch-nemesis.” In the book, Harry also alleged that he was left bruised after William flung him to the floor following a fight they had two months before he and Markle, 41, left the royal family.  The Duke of Cambridge reportedly called the former “Suits” actress “dif

Royal Family LIVE: Kate and William's Windsor move would prove 'a headache' for King

Image
Several members of the Royal Family have residences in Windsor, including the Prince and Princess of Wales.  Kate, Princess of Wales, and Prince William don't want to move out of Adelaide Cottage, a source has claimed. Dismissing rumours the Prince and Princess of Wales are waiting for Prince Andrew to move out of the Royal Lodge to take hold of the Windsor mansion, a source claimed to Page Six the family are "extremely happy" at Adelaide Cottage, a more modest home than the Duke of York's.  This is likely good news for the monarch, as a move could prove a costly security headache for King Charles, multiple sources added according to the US publication. While Adelaide Cottage enjoys the police protection provided for Windsor Castle, the Lodge falls outside of this perimeter.  As he is no longer a member of the working Royal Family, Prince Andrew's security is being paid for privately. On the contrary, taxpayers would likely be required to foot the bill for Kate
